It's time to "Let's Go Racing"

I can hardly wait until the new season of NASCAR starts.  There's something about the start of new season, as with any other sport, and the stats starting at zero.  Of particular interest is the repaving of Daytona.  I, for one, got tired of looking at cars bounce all over the track like a roller coaster.  If I want that, I'll go to Six Flags.  If there's anything NASCAR fans want to see is speed and massive pile ups to soothe our sick sadistic minds.

I predict this will be the year that Jimmy Johnson loses the title.

Long live the Man In Black #3.  God rest your soul.

Snow Day

And I thought last year was bad with it snowing twice in one year...

It's nice to be off from work but only when the weather is nice and sunny.  This is ridiculous.  I live around Dallas, so for snow or ice to be on the ground more than a day is a little extreme.  That's not to mention, the temperature hasn't been above freezing since Monday 1/31/11 late night.  That night we had a little rain which turned into sleet in the early morning hours, Tuesday.  We didn't have as much as others to the west and north of Crandall, but it did warrant the wife and kids to be out of school on Tuesday and Groundhog Day.  Damn if he didn't have to see his shadow.
Last night, we had over 7" of snow.  It's pretty but outside of looking at it,  I really have no use for it.

Oh I know you Northerner's are saying for me to quit my bitching.  Same as I say to ya'll, when you have an unexpected heat waive in the summer.  The simple truth is we are not accustomed to extremes outside of what we are normally used to.

The simple side of it all is that it's Jerry's fault.  If we were't having a Super Bowl here, the weather would be fine and dandy.  It's just God's way of saying to Jerry, that he can't control everything, let alone the weather.

Introduction

I always wanted to be a journalist but for one reason or another, couldn't pass some silly, stupid typing test, in order to be one.  Besides, if I had, I'd have probably axed a few liberal journalists along the way.  LOL.  So, thanks to the Internet, I now have my chance.

Let me start by saying, I will not apologize for my opinions, misspellings, bad grammar, rants, occasional foul language, or in some cases, my stupidity.
You read this, you take it for what it's worth.  If I offend you, then kindly leave.
If you enjoy it, then please feel free to pass it along to friends, or if you notice at the bottom, you can can share it on Facebook and Twitter.

I've been online, marketing for a little over two years.  I've always shied away from blogging, with the mindset that it just wasn't for me.  Other marketers have encouraged it, but the reason I decided to do it was for myself and not anyone else.
Actually, it's because I finally sat down and took the time to set one up.  With me, sometimes learning is a slow process, but when I "get it," watch out.  Now all I have to do is stir up the "grey matter" in my head and put it on here.  What you will find here is collection of different subjects ranging from pets, to sports, to family, to vegetable gardening, to you name it.  What you will not find much of is topics of politics or religion, as they are much too debatable to go into in much detail.

I hope that what you find here will be both helpful and at times amusing.  I can't promise to post everyday but if you want to be notified of when I do, please tell me and I will add your email to the list.  At the bottom of the page, you will find a link called Gumby's Tidbits.  It is another blog that I have that strictly deals with computers and internet marketing tips.
