Holiday Tradition

I thought I would change the whole feel of this blog and spin an old Christmas yarn..
I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
I think about this world a lot and I cry And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty Of the light of music
The voices talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a sceneYou're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't endBut slowly drifts into sleep
The greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
For you alone you are the everything

REM old school as solid as it gets.. I can never change this blog it would mean that I give this blog some thought.. No I will continue the same old crap.. I am really having a hard time blogging lately since I really have a hard time being angry about anything.. I have discovered the root of a lot of my anger comes when I am at my heaviest my whole body just aches.. I still have a ton of weight to lose but honestly when you are not in constant pain it helps out the mood a bit.. Anyway back to the same old same old..

We are having family over for the Christmas get together with my wife's side of the family.. Every year my wife asks me if we can host the party of 30 people or so.. I say no and she usually ignores me and has the even anyway.. The reason I do this is when we have people over for a large event like this it means that effectively you have killed Christmas for our house.. This is how the week before the event plays out it is just like clockwork. So my wife comes up with x number of presents that need to be purchased before the party.. (She buys 95% of them) She then comes up with a list of the 150 or so items that need to be completed around the house before it is presentable.. (She has to complete 90% of them) there is not a chance that 10% of these items can be accomplished but I play a long and ask what I can do other than stay out of her way.. 4-5 days from the storm the boys and I are being pummeled with requests from my wife to complete the 5 tasks that we have been assigned we of course are trying to find ways to avoid doing those tasks since it will mean that we will have to do more when they are finished.. Eventually my wife realizes that she will not be able to rip up the carpet and lay down wood floors before the guests arrive.. She notices that I have not completed my assigned tasks in fact I am actually enjoying the holiday season and playing the WII with the kids and that is more than she can take.. She blows up right on queue.. The kids are lucky enough to be able to go to bed early but I have to take my well deserved holiday verbal beating.. At this point it kind of part of the ritual so I am not sure if just out of tradition I am being more lazy than usual so that the beating will come quicker or if I just enjoy it once a year like oyster stew… So as I spackled and painted the kids bathroom upstairs that no one will see I go back down stairs and I apologize for being a piece of crap and she apologizes for getting so edgy and I give her a hug.. In the background I see the huge water stain in the kitchen ceiling from the shower above it has rendered the shower unusable for the last 6 months.. I don't tell my wife there is a pretty good chance the hot water heater is going to fail in the next few days. I know we will have 2-3 of this episodes before the party on Saturday but after while it sort of feels good like we at least have a holiday tradition.. Next year I am going to say NO to this party but we will do it anyway after all it is tradition..



Say No to AI
The original G-- The old school Gangster--- No not now not ever.. AI when he is on the court might be the best per lb player I have seen.. But this guy brought the NBA game to what it is today.. He is a gang banger… He is a thug.. He is uncoachable.. It is one thing to be a joke of basketball operation but operate with some class is something that should be doable.. It just doesn't make any sense we have one big that shoots from 20 feet and we are going to hemorrhage the whole organization to sign a guy who is going to spit in your face before the year is done.. The only way I would do this trade would be to flat cut him and get him out of the NBA and get Thud off of this team.. I would also make a poison pill clause that we would not take AI contract unless Kevin McHale is traded to the Sixers as well.. It would be more of a loaner we would give them McHale for 2 seasons.. I think with what he has learned with the wolves it would only take him 2 years to kill that franchise and leave them with no hope in sight for the next decade.. We could then take him back and have him work with our big guys.. I am going to rant here.. I hated Mcfail as a player but he was one of the best low post players ever to play… Why then as he never developed a low post player here.. He has not drafted or developed one.. I need to stop the anger is coming..


Vikes Rant Tommorow..
Why are we even discussing the playoffs..
