Rock on brothers and sisters! I’m picking up some bratwurst for the weekend tonight!
I make a lot of video’s in the football season.
Its fun, I’m not very good at it and I enjoy it.
That said I post’em so ya’ll can enjoy them too
All that said? It’s just a mere 36 hours……36 measly and slow crawling hours until it’s
For a few short months this typically political, military and personal focused blog becomes a plethora of color, drum lines and play reminiscence. For a limited time there is a chill in the air, and you can see your breath each morning and feel the tension as you head for the bandstands. Why do we do this?
Because we cant be serious all the time. Because life isn’t just politics, and war, and legislation and taxes. Because its good for the soul to step back, breathe and enjoy something. Because we are fans, one of Georgia, and one of Tennessee true red black and orange sons of the south. We are SEC where football is not just a game but a way of life.
Welcome to the 2010 NCAA Football season fellow readers. I truly believe it’s going to be one helluva ride!
36 hours ladies and gentlemen. ….35.59…………45.58………
I have a Xbox Live Account.
I can’t download anything with it, unless I go to their website.
I can’t stream movies because they don’t support my Internet Service Provider.
I can’t access their Marketplace unless I go to their website.
And I can’t play on line against my friends.
In laymans terms? It’s like owning a car and being told that because the tire doesn’t fit I need to replace my car.
So what do I think about this Rate Hike? Read the rest of this entry »
Good morning and greetings to all. My name is Jon and a while back Bloodspite invited me to guest post at his place when I felt the urge.
Yesterday I was at a PX and I saw an Army Times newspaper that had a story about the newest Medal of Honor game having the option to play as Taliban and shoot at Army Rangers. I’ll admit, when I first saw it, I just about lost my mind and I was reaching for duct tape to wrap my head as so a cleanup wasn’t needed in Isle 2. Now that I have taken a step back and looked at the issue from a couple of different angles, taken a few deep breaths, and read the opposing view, I have to say this.
Electronic Arts has the right to put out any product that they want, I plan on making sure I don’t buy anything from EA again, even though I like the Madden Series and was looking at getting Dragon Age Online for the PC.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

It is the Last Friday of August ladies and gentlemen,
We should ask “How should we celebrate the coming of the winter solstice?”
I ask instead, how else?
And it is just as much a tribute to my fellow Tennessee fans as to the players themselves.
Language warning does apply, so be careful when viewing at work or around small ears
That said its only one small place, and adds emphasis.
Let me know what you think
…Of the University of Tennessee’s Pride of the Southland Band.
I’ve admitted before I was a marching band nerd.
Maybe its just me, but nothing spells college football to me quite like a Marching Band.
keep your hot dogs. Keep your tail gate. When I hear the drum cadence start,and the brass blare for me it is football time in Tennessee.
Great story about a Private at age 41 who is making it the US Army.
While I’m not that old, it does give me hope that I can make the grade myself, even if it is in the Guard instead of AD.
Just gotta keep working this weight off
According to all indicators the stock market is a joke currently.
5 year measurement of the Dow. The Yellow line is just below the 15,000 mark. Currently at 10,174 as of todays opening bell
For years I have always heard the axiom “Buy low, sell high”
Well it’s about as low as it can get given the status quo.
I have a portfolio. It’s nothing major. I’ve been buying since the 2009 drop.
My best performer is without a doubt Ford (F). My return is close to 250% currently.
My other big winner is a surprise to some, Dynegy (DYN) with a almost 70% return. I bought it in January at its lowest.
A lot of folks are screaming “Sell!” right now, and that’s fine. The more they sell the more the price drops and small market guys like me can pick up major companies at half the original price.
I won’t make a lot of money immediately but in the long term, say 2 to 3 years, I stand to make a good share.
“Provided those companies do not go bankrupt.” you say?
Yes there is some risk. But here is my rational:
Plenty of people play scratch off tickets or lottery. Figure you spend $5 to $10 on lottery tickets per month, just a guess. Or perhaps you buy cigarettes. $5 bucks a pack average depending on where you live.
If I buy American Apparel (APP ) at .74 cents per share, and buy maybe $10 bucks in shares, and the price drops …I’m truly only out my $10 dollars. About what I would spend at McDonalds for me and the kiddo for lunch. But if it goes up? I make my money and then some.
My rules? Do not put your eggs in one basket. Buy a little bit of several stocks across the board. Don’t worry as the stock drops. Just keep investing a little at a time, $10 here, $20 there. Your pay off is not a immediate thing, you will not become rich over night. Investigate your companies carefully. Look at their debt versus their profit. How much do they have in loans? Check the 5 year trend of the company stock price and their P&L.
Little things are important. But as the price goes low, buy more. And wait. Be patient.
The pay off in the long term will be good, at least that’s my take. Just always remember those key words: long term.
If your looking for a instant way to get rich, then this market is not for you.
Portfolio listing after the jump
Ya’ll know I love my Vols.
You also know I love the fella’s over at Rocky Top Talk.
Well they recently sent out a quest for volunteers to give them a hand and you know I had to throw my name in that hat figuring “Hell, why not.”
And as Eric would say, rubberneckers let me tell you I was selected. I guess they figured they could not get a more Vol obsessed lunatic, even if he lives in another state. But whatever the reason I am honored.
Now I ain’t doing anything huge. I’m doing a very small thing over there. Just watching for leads for the main writers, but its still awesome just the same. These fella’s are the know-all’s of Knoxville insofar as I am concerned. The most calm, rational and straight forward reporting you get out of the area.
So a chance to work with them, even as tiny as what I’ll be doing, is very cool.
So keep yer eyes peeled over at RTT folks. I’ll be cross posting stuff here as I always do, but I’m happy to say they are letting me be part of the show.
