A NASCAR Driver and the word CHARACTER...

I am not sure how this will translate over in myspace but I hope to make this the official colors of NASCAR stud driver, Kevin Harvick. Sign this man up for motivation speakings. Twice in the last week he has a early mishap that last week made him at best 37th and this week 4th place.

Last week, driver Kurt Busch hit his car at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. It caused enough damage to his care to make him 15 laps off the pace, eventually it got 14. The rest of the race he was in the lower 40's or upper 30's. He spend most of the race at 37th. He did not give up, he got what they called a "lucky dog" when a yellow flag came out and the highest driver a lap off gets back on the lead lap. This happened to Kevin. Sadly, he was still 14 laps behind. The damage to his car could have him and his crew call it a day. He did not give in and raced the best he could. I can only guess that with all the pressure off, he and the crew just had some fun racing and bugging the others. LOL

Forward to today (Sunday Aug. 3rd). The first lap of the Pocono 500 in Pennsylvania he gets hit by accident by Joe Nemechek. From what I could tell he didn't pit or it was really short and he was somehow still on the lead lap. Going from 21st to 38th place. All this effects the points season series where he fell out of the top 12 last week and dropped to 14th right away. Things looked grim, this is something that could ruin a run for the chase for the title. The top 12 driver gets the chance for it in September-October. After yellow flags, red flag for rain, and a long hot day, Mr. Harvick took a disasterous start and wound up finishing fourth place. FOURTH PLACE.
He and the crew did not give up. He even jumped up to 11th in the season points race. Another time he could have wrote it off. The way he looked at the end, if the race was another 20 laps, who knows? He could have caught the days champion, Carl Edwards and that hot dogging flip of his.

What confirmed my being a fan was the past two weeks, he could have wrote off the whole thing. You never saw it in his driving, his persona and his crew. He still has alot of work to do. He can VERY EASILY plummet the next week and the chase for the title would be over. I hope not. He has been brilliant though not in the winner circle since last year's Daytona 500 in February. How I would love to soon get a new Harvick winner circle picture on my myspace pages.

Moral to the story, NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP GOING FORWARD.

Counting Blessings After A Storm...

Monday morning we had a whopperdoozer of a storm hit the Q.C. area. Bad enough where tree limbs, trees, and related items cluttering neighborhoods. Some people have had no power for a couple days and it may be another day for some. My family still has no power as we speak but possibly later today. Trees are like knots in power lines. We slept at our hot and powerless home Monday night but last night my in-laws (God love them) allowed us to use their place as they used their starship Enterprise like RV at a nearby campground. An 9 hour sleep later and a good shower, I have a chance to handle what comes up today.

The winds got up to 100 MPH. Some say it was a tornado, the TV meterologists say not. I was at work but my wife say part of a tree go right by the bedroom window luckily it did not go in the window, could have been fatal. I thank the good lord we are alright and our only actual damage was a tree in back but that is the landlord's problem. Just messy that a good raking and a lawnmowing cannot take care of. My neighbors, that is another story. One has a above ground pool totalled and a branch spearing into their kitchen. Another had this huge pine tree cut in half. The corner of their house was shot. They are this elderly couple who could easily find another place or have family, but yet they insist on being home. More power to them I guess.

Onward we all go...

Enough...

So at one point all the ridiculous battle to achieve some profound meaning end? This week is already nuts. I am tired and had enough of my inner weaknesses and inner demons joining forces on troubled mind as I try to rebuild my family expences and livlihood after that ridiculous job cut back in February. Yesterday, I did not receive a call I got the day before regarding a position far away that I could rebuild the damages cast by others. Then a setback on my wife's side on something we BOTH forgot but she is being treated like some villian about. Then I just got plain stupid talking to a person with a past with me and to realize that this person and I have too much to lose in our respective camps. That could be a future blessing in disquise.

I am so beleagured of figuring out my mental state. Like Doctor Who (the Christopher Eccleston who is the best doctor in my view) once said, "try anything" or was it "do anything"? Now I am being dismissed as one thing that actually I am way to chicken to do and God would not be happy with me. Things get unbearable and just wish I was in another time and dimension or find what they call on "Scrubs", my "happy place."

My family deserves better from me, my friends deserve better from me, and I deserve better from me. Infact Christopher Eccleston deserves better from me. Possibly, I could be up for a job that I would accept and leave the area. If so, it could be a golden opportunity to rebuild my life for hopefully another 47 year run (at the mercy of God above)can be easier and more tolearble to my loved ones and good friends. I didn't ruin anything from what I can tell,there is a dent but dents can come out.

I know my blood pressure and sugars cannot take anymore and my mind is quoting the good doctor. Or as his rival The Master (played flawlessly by John Simm) once said, "What this world needs right now is.. a doctor"... I may need to be my own doctor right now.

Helplessness...

this is how my life is anymore. No money, a jobcut/demotion, rent is a major challenge and after pouring my heart and soul on this piece of crap, I get an error and all is erased. This is my life..

An Idea For A Smallville-Doctor Who Crossover

This was a note I sent on my myspace page (wgjbs) to a Smallville page on my list. I found a Doctor Who fan club and shared the same thing. I think this would really work. Sadly, my mind can write and kicking it into an execution on paper or computer is another story. I would miss details and Doctor Who fans are rather particular (like the Star Trek fans). This is my message to a Smallville fan:

I have these ideas but my writing talents seem limited. I love Smallville and I am a fan of the modern day version of Doctor Who. I really think a crossover episode of Doctor Who visiting Smallville to check out if any Kryptonians are made it to earth as rumored in his time lord world, get Lex involved and either a Dalek or The Master. Then have the storyline (not sure how) move over to Doctor Who bringing along Clark, perhaps Lana, Lex, maybe Brainiac. I have a basic premise but wanted to toss it out there. If David Tennant is not available, why not use Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor using the time travel storyline. I really think Clark and The Doctor would click, perhaps not right away but they would. Both not of this world, both lost their home world and their race, both extraordinary, both with rivals out the rid them, both with sexy comapanions, and both loners. It would be classic. Anyone willing to help me?I welcome your input.My thanks.

Perhaps a Torchwood tie in with Captain Jack and Clark? For ringers, you could throw in Clark's justice league friends as well.

Where Am I Now??

As my career is in a limbo and the checks cannot cover the rent for my family to live in a safe and quiet area of the city, I wonder what is next for my job search. I know there is a job in Kuwait but one wrong turn could have me meeting one of Bin Laden's boys.

And why is sex so prevalent right now with all this going on?
