Roger Goodell = Bill Lumberg

The NFL is proposing taking the season to 18 games. Basically cutting out the Pre-Season. Roger Goodell, his minions, and the owners say that they would approve of the 18 games.......SHOCKER! You mean the owners would be open to extending the season to 18 games because thats what the "fans want"? Let me get out my calculator here....(shuffles office supplies around).....MORE GAMES x MORE FANS + FOAM FINGERS + $22 BEERS + TV SHARE / 3.14 - BRAINS = MORE MONEY! More money equals more suits and more executive suites for the stadium, Yesssss. 99.8% of the NFL players are opposed to it for obvious reasons. 1. Wear and tear on the body (See Brett Favre) 2. Reduces the importance of the regular season games. More games means more losses will potentially get you in the playoffs C. How are the rookies and guys fighting for spots supposed to prove themselves with less or no preseason games? 4. The NFL is actually asking the players to take a pay cut but play more games. What is this, Office Space? "Im gonna go ahead and ask you to come in on Saturrrday....mmkay?" I'm sure that will go over just fine. So considering that there's a potential lockout next season, I'd say it might be a smart idea to do what the players ask. But what do I know, Im just a fan.....

Coming Soon.....My stadium breakdowns and the best NBA play of all time.......and it doesnt involve Jordan.

Make It Happen

I've read and heard a lot of motivational things in the past few years. Whether it be a Joel Olsteen book, work training, or a movie. What usually happens is that I get really pumped the few hours afterwards thinking I'm going to change the world, but the feeling is gone the next day or I just simply forget. Come to think of it, the same thing happens after leaving Church. The service will be awesome and full of messages that I swear are directed only to me. But by Monday, it's not even a thought. Why is that? Is it because of the constant negativity brought on by the news, bills, or anything else life can bring? Is it easier to throw in the towel and just settle for whats going on? Or is it because I'm just too tired of the constant line of obstacles that are tossed in front of me? I've always thought of myself as something more than just working for the man or giving into the common lifestyle. But it's so easy to get sucked in. This is what makes the world go round. The "normals" are chilling, living a mediocre life and settling for a job that they hate, but do it because its all they know. But then theres those that make it happen and use their knowledge of the common man, then do what it takes to make the common man's life better, therefore increasing the quality of his/her own life (write that down). These are people that know their potential and decide to take advantage of it.

This past week has been interesting. I feel that I'm right on the cusp of something big. Something life changing. Something positive. I just have to keep a positive attitude. I've come too far and I'm too awesome to not be great. My family deserves it, and so do I.

Keeping it Real......

This is me, taking the bull by the horns.

Ok, the picture above is irrelevant but I thought it was funny. The real sh*t is below......

If you dont do some deep thinking and self analyzing while listening to this song, then you need to make a trip to the wizard and ask for a soul. While listening to this, here's what going through my mind. I suggest you click play and listen along (it gets really good at about 2:17 in). Maybe even start your own list if you have the balls......



1. My daughter Mackenzi and how the first time I saw her, I was more in love with her than anything you can possibly imagine. Yes, even more than the Mavs.
2. My wife, how much i love her, and the journey we've been through and how crazy life has been the last 2 years. One of these days we're gonna look back and laugh. I promise.
3. How bad ass it would be to make a movie with this song as the ending credits.
4. How much I love and appreciate my family and friends for making me who I am today.
5. How beautiful God made the world. Outside of the concrete jungles. Unless its the Dallas Skyline at night. Cant beat it.
6. Even though things havent went as planned in my life, its just the way it is. Its all happening for a reason.
7. How awesome my Grandpa was and how I wish he were here to meet Mackenzi and Traci.
8. How insane the universe is and how we havent even scratched the surface on exploration. F*cking nuts!
9.
10. I wish that I had my boys here to play guitar while I played my drums and we made music like this.
11. Speaking of my boys, my crue. Rio, Ben, Jacob, and Daniel. I miss you f*ckers and Im glad that we lived life to the fullest while we were all together in San Marcos.
12. About how I miss that Texas sky.
13. About all the mistakes Ive made in the past but wouldnt change a thing.
14. About how thankful I am to have the mental capacity to understand and appreciate all of the things above.
