Random Thoughts from the past few weesk

It's been awhile since I posted last so here are some random thoughts and lessons I've learned lately....

* Never let yourself get jealous at your "close" guy-friend when he only did something you did a month earlier and to you it was "no big deal"... let it go.

* Best quote of the day: "Who are to judge me? I know I'm not perfect and I DON'T claim to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your own hands are clean."

* I would imagine that if you have a gambling problem, especially one that has you in the hole almost $400,000.00 dollars one would think you'd want to go back to playing basketball to keep your free time to a minimum becuase well the TV thing isn't cutting it apparently.

"Do I have a gambling problem? Yeah, I do have a gambling problem but I don't consider it a problem because I can afford to gamble. It's just a stupid habit that I've got to get under control, because it's just not a good thing to be broke after all of these years," -Charles Barkley said in an interview with ESPN

Well Charles, according to the grapevine, you can't afford it. According to the article in Mercury News, you still have that debt and even though you say you have plenty of money and can pay it .... it dates back to October of last year...and this acknowledgment was only after the announcement you may face criminal charges.

* At what point will someone realize that the situation they are in is bad? Is the mind truly that powerful to not let you see the things that are right in front of you?

* Racing this season is .... I don't know I can't quite figure it out. Maybe it's the attitudes? Maybe it's the drive that people are lacking? The racing when it's there is mostly great - but it just seems like it's missing it's luster this year. Then again it could just be me.

* Kyle Busch.

You love to hate him. Funny thing is....I used to hate him when he first got on the scenes he was just another punky kid trying to live on the coattails of his brother....now he's flying high on his own coattails. I love him for the fact that he makes news. He makes headlines and he's being noticed. A lesson I learned at a VERY early age racing on the ACT tour of Curley with Kevin Lepage and Gardiner Levitt. It was better to be booed that to leave the race on lap 50 and not be noticed. More and more I'm growing to like Kyle Busch and that is a scary thought.

* According to Jayski the CWES from IOWA will play at 5pm Sunday on HDnet...wonder if I have that channel?

* Today is

* Leaving for Boston at 3am on Sunday is not something I'm looking forward to especially since i'll be home before my roommate even wakes up....how do I get myself into these things?
