First off I have to say BOOOOO on the Angels! How can you let the Jays beat you up like that. Have some self respect. I can't go on to much about this cause it will make my blood boil and I don't need the heart attack right now.
Secondly, Lakers, your win last night was pretty impressive considering your lackluster first half. Props to Kobe on the pass to himself off the glass in the second half that was sick!!!
Lastly, this has been a trend of late with young people at the bars, it's regarding tipping! I know times are hard and the economic failure has us tightening are belts. Seriously though, don't come ordering drink after drink and not tip, bartenders need to make a living too you know. Sure the occasional faux pau and forgetfulness happens but not to lay a dollar down is just not right. if you think its not expected or you have that mentality all they did was twist off a cap, well just dont get to upset if your not waited on and you wait forever for that next drink. I don't want to hear you cry about it. People need to start taking care of there Bartenders, PERIOD!!
Just in..Manny Ramirez is suspended 50 games for Steroids. Thoughts to follow later this evening

How I feel for Dutch
We Write A Song
© By Seneca B. Johnston
Those tender kisses that passionate touch the moisture our bodies create,Oh my God this is the ecstacy my body thrives on,this moment is the birth of love,our energy exchanges, together we are a binary convergence,our structure permeates the universal need of closeness,you and I escape with candles and a song,
I write a song for you,you write a song for me, we write a song for each other you and I,together we transend the harmony the melody, our tempo flucuates with the movement of our souls.
It is just you I hold, nothing else exist, we are suspended in time dancing with the stars, can you feel it, my heart now beats only for you,each second we spend is eternal bliss, I am yours, you are mine, together we are a design a beautiful portrait, our love is a fortress,oh please let this last forever, every detail is perfected,oh baby can you hear it, the pleasure in my voice, we've created a symphony

16 Rules that should be considered...
1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone. I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security." My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers."
2. Never give up. Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.
3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think. There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed."
4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be. Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of "undefined consequences." My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, "Well, Robert, if it doesn't work, they can't eat you."
5. Focus on what you want to have happen. Remember that old saying, "As you think, so shall you be."
6. Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don't look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
8. Be quick to decide. Remember what the Union Civil War general, Tecumseh Sherman said: "A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
9. Measure everything of significance. I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate. If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing. When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.
12. Never let anybody push you around. In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you're doing as anyone else, provided that what you're doing is legal.
13. Never expect life to be fair. Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks. You'll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).
14. Solve your own problems. You'll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you'll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: "You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others." There's also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: "A wise man keeps his own counsel."
15. Don't take yourself too seriously. Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.
16. There's always a reason to smile. Find it. After all, you're really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: "We're not here for a long time; we're here for a good time."
