i realize(now that i blog) that without a place to publish(blog) my ramblings, my girlfriend [my wife(now that i am married)] was the one who suffered. she could not care less about stupid stuff like this. she is truly better than all this bs(bull shit). thank goodness for the world wide web(or internet). anyways i havent blogged in weeks(2) now and am relieved to finally be back.
about the title(favorite things)..i love remembering things that i forgot i loved. i forgot that i loved slazenger balata golf balls [(they have gone the way of fun dip(also a neglected affection)]. i felt about slazengers the way i now feel about a titleist pro-v1's with black numbers..if i had to play one golf ball for the rest of my life, it would be a pro-v1x with a black 7. i look at it and it just makes sense to me. i am almost attracted to it. if you dont get that, you have no business reading this blog. its like shawshank or white beaches or james taylor. if they dont move you every time you experience them, you are emotionally constipated and due for a break down[( call someone you trust(someone of the cloth) and deal with it]. it may be odd (creepy) that i feel so strongly about things that are of very little consequence but it is who i am. i forgot that i love the song Not in Nottingham. its a shame that our culture accepted Baby Got Back and could not accept a cartoon rooster as a singer . i forgot that i loved the 6 a.m. hour, the finest hour on earth. i feel better, think better, sleep better, when i am up and at 'em by 6. arguably the most productive and under-utilized hour of the day. i will add that men should be up by 6. i rarely am but when i get in that routine, i feel more manly. i forgot that i love little league world series(absolute classic) on nintendo. i kind of forgot that i love controversial figures. i love allen iverson, darryl strawberry, ray lewis, and miami hurricane football. i dont cheer for miami game by game.. but i want them to matter and for some reason believe there image to be more attractive than texas a&m(i hate them) and u of nebraska. their clean image is annoying and shows on the field with almost no exciting players. i joke about cal ripken jr.(also squeaky clean) being nothing but a side show, but i do love streaks. i forget that sometimes but i really love losing streaks and slumps and weird stupid streaks like great golfers not being able to win majors. i liked the Red Sox until they won. i hoped that i could see red sox hats and t-shirts for another couple decades and know that they were actually fans not bandwaggoners. I am over the cubs too because i think people are coming out of the woodworks to be ahead of the trend this time(wgn makes them matter period). if you want to be ahead of the trend, join the rangers camp. i said to my father during game four of red sox, yankees..that if the red sox are going to end this ' streak' (curse) they must win this series(down in the series 0-3 to the team that started it all) the rest is pitiful history. i am kind of yankees fan. i want to see teams dominate or suck.. the red sox new swagger is shameful.. this statement i will release from my unofficial yankee camp.. (to: red soxs camp) win 20 more world series and you swagger. i am happy for the old people who have truly seen the curse in all its glory but if you are in your thirties and think you have a sad plight here is the truth..there is always a team on a 31 year world series drought. if a different team won every year for the next thirty years and the cardinals won it in the 31st year, they would hold the longest active drought. so not seeing your team win a world series for 30 years is what should happen. so quit crying mr. thirty something cubs fan. you and your cub fan dad are not crying over the same thing. its like playing roulette and choosing one number and bitching about the bad breaks when it doesnt come up for the first hour. its not even that fair a chance since the slot for the(proverbial) yankees is 5 times bigger than all the others. with the finest season of the year just around the corner i want to make a few bold(or not so bold) predictions..
- arizona cardinals win more games than the cowboys
(matt leinhart has kurt warner type numbers)
- broncos open 9-1 (big ups)
- BIG BEN comes out of the closet in tell all book called My Fair Brady
- Favre changes his name to Cal Ripken III
- LSU wins the whole thing(not a fan but a believer)
- i break par and hit a 12 team parlay the same day (vegas has same odds on both phenoms)
- everyone who reads this blog reflects on things they love but forgot about.
- LONG LIVE THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!

keep these coming tim...i am feeling you dawg (in my randy "am idol" voice)
Tim, you forgot about when the time when the supper NES came out. Those where exiting times. Do you remember the first guy who came to school and got a Super NES? I do. I hated that guy. It also happens that i wanted to be that guy. To no avail, however. I did become that guy... a year and a half later. No matter, the Super NES rocked.
By the way, remember after you got the super NES, the first time you went and played the NES? Mario was never better than that first time you went back.
remember that the time you forgot how to check your work after your turned it in and you did stupid things like writing horrible run on sentences and you put prepositions at the end of sentences. No matter, you turned the work in just the same.
i just remembered how much i loved the nachos from extra play and suicides from the ballpark. anyway, prov1X will have a red number and not black....unless you know wally uihlein personally.
Bradley, the play one ball for the rest of your life is hypothetical...and in a perfect world the x would have black numbers...i think is what T is trying to say
thanks bradley for editing the facts.. i must play a black seven down the middle of my nocturnal fairways. who's to say. i love sevens..costanza stole my idea for naming his child seven.
i have always said, "GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT"
I don't think a .276 Avg and a 19-time all-star, .977 Fielding%, and i almost forgot about the 431 homeruns...not to mention, he is the ironman, makes Ripken Jr. a "sideshow". Plus I had a rawling back when I was 8 that was endorsed by him. I think players like him are very few and far b/w these days. Hell, your boy Manny takes a day off a week, sometimes he takes a break in the middle of the game. I enjoyed the rest of it though. I forgot how great riding the turtles at Trinity UMC gym were.
rawling= rawlings glove, i type in short-hand
Tim, move to jackson, actually, i'll come to you...i am a fan and a believer. and i think i'd follow you anywhere.
i forget that i love...(well let me think about it...i'll get back to you)
o i remember.. i forgot that i love that when we were kids we thought that our dads could beat the crap out of anyone - esp. other dads. Only to get old and find out that my dad could still kick my teeth in, if he wanted to. thankfully... i still have all my teeth
