Yes, I admit that I have an addiction, and addiction to crack.
Now I have only had this addiction for about a month, but I guess I am a little weaker than others, because once I tried this crack, I was hooked.
The spinning wheel, the multiple colors, the inanely simple questions.
It gets the competitive juices flowing.
Yes, I am talking about Trivia Crack, the trivia game that has taken the world by storm!
By world, I mean my own little part of it, of course. Some of you may have never even heard of it until now, so... You're welcome!
Gotta go, I have sixteen turns waiting now.

Thin Skin
We live in a world full of sarcastic people and I may be one of them.
Okay, truth be told, I am one. Am I proud of it? Well, I do relish in bringing bits of humor to everyone, but unfortunately, not everyone seems to appreciate said humor and takes what I say or write in a manner that is completely different from what the intended words were all about.
I also say that I don't care about people that are thin-skinned and may get upset by a misinterpretation of what I say.
Not entirely true.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I think people should be able to take as much as they give, and usually don't start giving until I have taken, understand?
So, Mr. thick-skin what are you really trying to say?
Not really sure. I think it was starting to be a rant about whiny people but then I lost my train of thought so now I'm just going to ramble on about the state of things in the world until something better comes along.
SQUIRREL!
Yeah, I went there.

Fox Hunt
My favorite sports team is the Denver Broncos, although I will admit that the Chicago Blackhawks seem to be gaining on them. No matter what though, the Denver Broncos will always be my favorite professional football team. Not to mistaken with one of my other favorite football teams Real Madrid or Manchester United.
Anyway.
So the Broncos have won the AFC West four years in a row, and for the last three it's been pretty much a cakewalk since we have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, although I still think John Elway is better. :)
Pretty good, right?
Yeah, but....
Knew there was a yeah but didn't you?
Let's look at what that means, shall we?

Knew there was a yeah but didn't you?
Let's look at what that means, shall we?
- 2011 - finish 8-8 wins AFC West (with Tim Tebow), they then beat Pittsburgh in OT at home and get shellacked by New England in Foxboro.
- 2012 - finish 13-3, wins AFC West, lose the first playoff game (divisional)
- 2013 - finish 13-3, wins AFC West, lose Super Bowl 48 (XLVIII if you insist)
- 2014 - finish 12-4, wins AFC West, lose the first playoff game (divisional)
Both divisional losses were at home. Denver rarely, if ever loses at home.They went 8-0 at home this season, well 8-1 since they lost yesterday.
So, what to do?
I was thinking, as well as many of my fellow Broncos fans, that a coaching change was in order. Maybe get a coach that isn't afraid to take a chance, with one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL under center. I am referencing Coach Fox's decision to kneel on the ball with 31 seconds left in that playoff loss in 2012 to Baltimore (Super Bowl champions that year). I mean Peyton Freaking Manning THRIVES on occasions like that. When I saw it live, I couldn't believe that we did it, in fact, no one did. We also had one of the best field goal kickers of 50+ yards on the team at the time, so Manning only had to get them 50 yards, in 31 seconds, with all three timeouts remaining. Yeah, that game still doesn't sit well with me.
Anyway, as I got on my plane for my trip to Kentucky (hi y'all), I was thinking that there would be no way the Broncos get rid of Fox.
I was wrong.
Fox is gone, Del Rio (Defensive Coordinator) is gone, in fact, the entire coaching staff is gone. Personally, I would have kept Studesville (RBs coach) and who knows, maybe the new guy will bring him back - he did have some excellent running backs working for him.
So, what does this mean? It means that John Elway the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) gets to pick the next coach (true, he did pick Fox), that will help get the franchise over this hump, while (hopefully) keeping Manning playing, and takes them to the ultimate and win Super Bowl 50.
What can I say, I'm a dreamer.

Getting Fit
Over the years, I have become rather lazy, and because of said laziness, I have also become fat.
Not so fat that I cannot wipe my own ass fat, but still, pretty darn hefty.
According to whomever you believe, I am somewhere between 125-150 pounds overweight, and considering that I was still in high school, and not fat, at that 150 pound level, I will be shooting for closer to the 125 pounds to lose.
So, how does one lose weight, and keep it away?
For one thing, you need to cut down your serving sizes.
Exercise
Cut out as many carbohydrates that you can.
Exercise
Try eliminating all sugars.
Exercise
Stop drinking any soda, period. Drink more water - that has become my new mantra.
Exercise.
Getting the drift here? It means no more tasty cakes and Dr Pepper because you are bored. Nope, you now should eat more spinach, and other proteins like eggs, meat, and cheese. Oh and you should probably get off your lazy ass every day for at least thirty minutes a day. I don't mean just rolling over and onto the bed for a nap either.
Walking is a great exercise, you can walk 30 minutes a day and I bet you will start losing some of that weight.. If you change habits and quit drinking soda - even diet soda is no good for you, FYI, so just give it all up.
NOW!
You'll thank me later.
Now walking while traveling can be a pain and difficult to do; you don't know where anything is, your hotel has no exercise facility, it's three degrees above zero Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -20. All good excuses, for losers.
Don't get mad at me, I mean until recently - like five days ago, I was a loser just like you. Now I want to be a different kind of loser; a loser of weight.
I have seven children that one day, I hope, will bring me grandchildren. I would like to see as many of these grandchildren grow up and get married that I possibly can. Being a fat ass, won't allow it.
Trust me.
So you have the excuses, but you also know what you have? A Walmart, a grocery store, a mall, guess where you can walk in relative comfort. If you are worried about the spending of funds on many unneeded items, leave your wallet at home, or in your car (make sure you lock it).
The stories you will tell, just by observing your fellow man or woman, trust me on this.
So, what am I saying?
No more excuses. Period. If I can do it, so can you!
Good luck!

When is there too much Government?
In my honest and most humble opinion, there is ALWAYS too much government. Period.
Now, I didn't know any of the founding fathers personally, but I have read a bit of their work, and I can honestly say that I do not believe that they would approve of the government forcing a child to take chemotherapy, against her parents wishes.
Apparently Connecticut disagrees with me, and I assume the founders of this great country. I am also pretty sure that I would fight this with every inch of my body and soul if that is even possible. Why won't the government allow the parents to seek another opinion? Is the young lady's life in that much of an imminent danger situation that she has to be basically medically kidnapped from her home to receive this medicine?
This is when there is too much government, and I would love to hear someone say otherwise, while still sounding sane. Who knows, maybe you will enlighten me a bit.
Good luck.
