TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

His 1st Mile High Come Back!

Broncos 24 - Texans 23

Now Texans...do the right thing! Fire your coach...so WE can have him back!

My fellow Denver Bronco fans, do you feel that? That sensation that you are feeling is that "Orange Crush" feeling of old. Yes, it is coming back! Next year will be the first year in a long time that we have had a team leader behind QB. Now we need to work on our defense and get a couple more weapons to step up.

That feeling may also be the fact that the Raiders and the Chargers just got their comeuppance and went home with heads dropped to the floor. Season enders...both of em...HA! For you uneducated Charger and Raider fans...the definition of "comeuppance" is: a punishment or retribution that one deserves. So....Go Home! NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas day! I sure did as did my whole family. I am blessed to have such a wonderful family on both sides. I am a happy man.

Tebow!!

Tebow Starts and does not disappoint fans.

We finally have a leader behind the line that LEADS! Win or lose, he gives us the best chance of making a struggling team pull out of the nose dive that the last coach and the woe's that went with it caused us to plummet into.

GO BRONCOS!

Hey Broncos....

Sometimes you have to look further ahead to bring a better future into focus.

NEW YEARS COUNTDOWN!

Look over to the right to see the countdown to 2011!

Broncos Fire McStupid

Only got one thing to say. Good riddance to a coach that single handedly dismantled one of the top 2 (probably would have been the #1) offensive teams in the league.

Now on to another coach. Sad thing is, word on the street is that Tebow may be done as well if the next coach is not willing to work his kinks out and help him show his true talent. I hope not. We need a Tebow on the field if only to bring a team, that has been ripped apart, back together into something that resembles the Broncos we know and love.

Thanks McStupid....now we have to rebuild because of you. Great job.

Hey Broncos! Ill coach for 1/2 the salary of McStupid! Just throwing that out there.

Ok...that's a bit harsh. Good luck to you on your future. Just be sure to look at the teams strengths and weaknesses and only mess with the weaknesses. That's the key buddy.

Silver Dollar City AGAIN! Woo hoo!

We went to Silver Dollar City this weekend with my parents and my sister and her two boys and we had a great time! The weather was a bit cool but only cold enough to make the hot chocolate and wassail all the more welcome. We stayed a couple nights in a small quaint little lodge near the park and had a couple days at the park followed by a couple nights with some martini's and Deidra's cheese ball. Good stuff. Memories made that will last a lifetime. Thank you Mom and Dad for coming down with us. Had a great time!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Broncos DOMINATE the Chiefs. DOMINATE!

Tebow got his first throwing TD of the season.

Broncos defeat the KC Chiefs at Mile High 49 - 29. Does this pummeling look a bit familiar? Yep...Broncos got beat by the lowly Raiders with a similar score several weeks ago...The Raiders went on to barely beat the Chiefs...and the Broncos made the Chiefs look like a high school 3rd rate tennis team. If you run the numbers...that means if the Raiders came back to Mile High, the score would reflect the same destruction against the Raiders. When a team falls behind by 3 TD's in the first 25 seconds....its hard for the other team not to want to give up, and that is precisely what the Broncos did several weeks ago thus giving the Raiders false hope as to how good they truly are...which is actually the worst team in the AFC. All you will have to do is continue to watch the season unfold and see the decline of the Raiders in the next several games.

The Broncos however proved one thing: You don't come to Mile High with the expectations to win....EVER! So goodnight to the #1...wait...#2 now team in the NFL. You just got your well deserved "come up-ins". For all of you who loved to drown me in all of your Bronco hating rhetoric after that ill fated Raiders game....You just got yours as well. Enjoy! So as you drag your candy asses onto your plane and fly back to Kansas City...look out the window....cuz that dude below the plane down there on the tarmac....ya, that's me.

Giving you a right proper well deserved MILE HIGH SALUTE!

GO BRONCOS!

Silver Dollar City 2010!

As always we had a great time! It was around 60 degrees during the day and was a bit chilly at night. This is a great picture taken outside the condo though I cant take credit for it. This picture was taken by Alisha's man Tyler. Once again "Thanks for the Wheat Brew" brutha man! Twas good. I owe ya.

Happy Halloween!

Not in a good mood. Broncos lost again. I'm so tired of this crap. Starting to think its not the Broncos but the fact that I am not in Colorado that is causing the Broncos to lose. Got to do something about that soon. Hang on guys....I'm coming home soon!

TEBOW!!!!

Still remains questionable as to whether or not that pass was a TD or incomplete....although the refs called it incomplete. Did it matter? Heck no! TEBOW rushed from 15 out to tear through two defenders on the goal line ala-Elway style to land in the golden fluff for 6! CANT STOP THE TEBOW TRAIN!

GO BRONCOS!

Quick Pics of the basement.

Here are some pics of the basement. Many of you have been asking how it looks so here it is. A bit messy but it is now our "R&R" room so its functional...not full of pretty furniture yet. Will make it more "perty like" when we put it on sale.

Before we go downstairs...look at our new carpet in our living room. We love it.

The TV nook in the wall.

Max sitting on our new stairs...

Looking up the first level of our stairs from the basement.

Picture looking into the hallway to the stairs...those of you who remember the above ceiling and its mess...will understand just how awesome the tan arch part of the ceiling truly is!

The lighting was put up by Deidra's dad and bro. They did a great job.

Another fan and some track lighting over where a wet bar could be.

Here is the Sink and the mirror we put in. You can kinda see the tile I laid.

Here is a pic from the basement door..the T.V. sits inside a void that I dry walled and framed in myself. There was a hideous wooden entertainment center that used to be there...when we removed it we realized that the walls were not finished behind or above it. They are now!

Some of my Tile work in front of the basement door.

Another view of the basement door area..the door to the left is the bathroom you saw above.

Even though there is a finished bathroom down here...we still find ourselves running up stairs when the need arises...not used to it yet.

Love to have new carpet! We did (Deidra and I) all the framing at the bottom of the walls ourselves. Yet one more talent we will remember for our next house!

Happy 4th!

Got your message on my phone as the fireworks were exploding over my head here in Mid MO CJ!

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July! We went to Deidra's mom and dads lake house Saturday and had a great day. Fishing, boating and just hanging out on the back deck in the breeze. Was a great day.

Woke up this morning and went fishing. Taylor is now known as "Sir Tortoise" due to the fact that he is the only person I know that caught not one but two turtles while fishing in two different locations. One on the lake yesterday, and one on the river today. Rae caught what had to be the smallest fish known to man on a normal size hook which is hard to do, and she caught another through the belly on a snag. Deidra caught one catfish after another and I caught a bass on a jig. Good times! Well.....On to the second half of the year!

Elway to return to duty???

Word on the street is that the "Duke of Denver" may in fact be looking to enter into some sort of a deal with the Broncos, possibly to be some sort of help on the sidelines as early as this year. This would be a step in the right direction in my book. When you have someone that has the possibility to become a great QB in Tim "The Tool Man" T-BO sitting there on the sidelines with none other than the "7th" wonder of the world...you got the makings of a bubbling brew-dog that would no doubt help bring T-BO to heights he would not have seen. I for one hope he signs on the dotted line soon....cuz we gots to get this winning thing back in Denver!

Game over.

USA loses to Ghana. Last 15 minutes a joke. Ghana wastes about 15 minutes faking injuries, changing players on toss ins, shaking hands with other team players on field while on the way across the field to the ball....refs give 3 minutes back.

I'm trying ... trying to find interest in this soccer thing but I got to tell ya, I'm about fed up with basketball "flops" of players just to get free throws that are not deserved. Football "kneeling" to win the game. Baseball "Juicing" to hit home runs. And now Soccer? Soccer with its fake injuries, slow sub-ins, all the time wasting? A game where the refs can call obvious bad penalties and when asked why, do not have to give a reason? Gotta tell ya, I wish this was a world where the game was played to the end from start to finish. Where both teams leave it all on the field and that the team that won was the team that fought the hardest. I guess that only still happens in boxing. Ya see, when there is a sport where you are confined in a small ring, a ring that is hard to move around in, and in that ring you are facing someone that sees you trying to run away to waste time....when he catches you.....Bad BAD things happen to your face. And as the coward gets beaten from your body...the crowd cheers at the person doing the pounding and laughs at the coward. Of coarse its only a matter of time before boxers who are winning the match have a way of knowing that as long as he does not get knocked out he can just run around the ring and wait for the time to tick down. Imagine an entire final round of boxing where the "point" leader runs away from the other guy like a chicken while 5 minutes ticks off the timer.
Don't get me wrong. Trying to hold on to a lead by passing...or keeping the ball from the other team while playing is fine! Its a good win that way if you can do that...where it gets "coward" like is when you fake an injury or any kind of cowardly way that is not related to playing the game itself. That is what Ghana did and for that I see them as not winners of a game well played but the team that lead the game in the final 30 minutes only to try "flopping" or "Kneeling" in a sense and that is what separates true hero's and cowards. Cheer on mighty Africa...you are now known for not only those ridiculous horns, but also teams that are afraid to play a game to the end. You will not win the World Cup. Know how I know? You may be able to win a couple games here and there by "Flopping" and "Kneeling" but true winners of the big games....they WIN the games from start to finish. So onto 2014 and the next Cup. I will be there rooting on my USA. As for Ghana....I know a place you can put those horns after your FIFA loss......

GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!

After a hard fought game, the USA come back kids once again show what true American pride is all about. During the early minutes of the game we landed in an identical situation as in the previous game which had us throwing our hands up and wondering what happened. They took yet another goal from the US that not only seemed as though it was a bad call...but was proven bad with the slow motion replay. Not sure whats going on with the pitiful calling. All seemed lost but with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game we rushed down the field for a heart stopping kick on goal which was deflected only to be tapped in by our second wave. Very nice finish to a lack luster officiating performance for the last two games. Now we need to look to Saturday and start making history.

GOOAAALLLL!!!!

U.S. should have won!

After falling behind 0 - 2 and the end of the game getting close the U.S. "come back kids" fly back into the game with two hard earned goals to bring them within striking distance of a record breaking come back win....only to be robbed of said goal within minutes of the close of the game by....you guessed it....a soccer official. There was no foul ... it was obvious, and when asked about why he called it....he had no answers.

So we tied.

What could have been the trigger to get more U.S. people involved in the worldwide soccer craze turned out to be what may keep them uninterested. Great job...well done....or pip pip cheerio...or jolly good..or whatever.

Like the new look?

Thought I would spice it up a bit...Ill change it throughout the year so that it stays fresh.

Enjoy!

Lakers....win?

Well, the Lakers win yet again in a NBA game chocked full of Pau Gasol silly looking crybaby flops and Kobe looking like a fool going like 2 for 65 or something. Wish the Celtics would have won just for the fact that they were playing like they deserved it. I have to say, Ive seen better "flops" by a pancake cook during a 2 hour stop at a Kansas truck stop. The officials really need to work on being able to identify true fouls and silly (dive across the floor while looking up at the sky while flailing both arms and legs tongue out eyes rolled back in the head epileptic-esque convulsions) non fouls. Or better yet...call a foul on the one that was "fouled" due to over acting. That would rock. Oh...and who was the Opie looking red headed dude that looked like he walked off the set of some Will Ferrell movie?? I wish he would have dunked on Kobe's head. Oh well.

Bed time.

Beware of your Computer....

Apparently, you can get a virus FROM your computer. Not sure if there has been scientific studies to suggest this yet but I have been down and out for the last week with some kind of respiratory thing that is suspiciously similar to the virus my computer had...sad thing is I cant do a human version of a hard drive wipe and re-install my software. Oh well...if I don't get better by Tuesday...Ill go see the Doc.

Computer Viruses suck!

Well, we had a computer virus on the computer for about a week or so now and I had to wipe the drive and start over. Good news is...the computer now runs as good as it did when we bought it! Bad news is...all of the software we bought since then and all the programs we downloaded are now gone and have to be redone. Not hard to do, just time consuming.

Anyhow, on a different note, we are looking to finish the bathrooms this next month and do a bit of yard work and then we are planning to put the house on sale. The final step before looking west. Seems so crazy that we are getting to that final point. I'm so happy! Keep ya posted.

CJ! YOU BEST CALL ME SUCKA!

Nuggets head home...

Well, the Nuggets lose to the Jazz and head home with their heads down wondering about what should have been. The simple answer to all those Nuggz fans out there like me:

We were better than that and we knew it. Don't blame the coach. Don't blame the stupid officials. Don't blame the Mormon morons of Utah. We had what it took...and we didn't use it. Bottom line: You are only as good as your TEAM plays. If one person gets down or mad its up to the others to rise them up. Sometimes you just gotta look at each other...realize that there is a bunch of people around you at that precise moment that want you to fail so bad. You have so many problems outside that court that will be waiting for you when you walk off of it win or lose. You just need to look at each other, look down at your legs, look down at your hands, pound your chest and think "Im going to leave everything right here right now on this here spot and win or lose Ill still be walking down that tunnel over there on my way home later. Lets do this!"

We didnt do that for the entire game...only for part of it. Thats why we lost.

So suck it up buttercups, we got a new year to get ready for. Quit bitch'n and get in the gym. Next year we walk out on the court and hand out nothing but biggy fries and black eyes. Till then ... get mad and get ready.

Go Nuggz

Easter Sunday at last...

With all the crazy things going on in the world today, its important to remember where we came from and where we are going. Happy Easter Everyone. He is Risen indeed!


"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master." (The Holy Bible, John 20:15-6)

See the land, her Easter keeping,

Rises as her Maker rose.
Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,

Burst at last from winter snows.

Earth with heaven above rejoices...

(~Charles Kingsley)

Angels, roll the rock away;

Death, yield up thy mighty prey:

See, He rises from the tomb,

Glowing with immortal bloom.

(~Thomas Scott, "Easter Angels")

Nice Weekend

We went to the St. Louis Zoo for the first time this year and had a great day. Here are some of the pics I took of our time. All of the animals were realy active this time of year. Everything was out and awake and just loving the nice day. The pictures of the lions turned out pretty good but if you look real close in a couple of the pics, you will see the female lion up in the tree about 30 feet off the ground. My favorite pics to take though were the ones of the chimps. They all were just sitting together and looking my camera with such personality. The pictures of the elephant all have a bit of a different feel, just by changing the camera angle or by framing the elephants face with some foreground folliage. Note how the pics of the elephant change the mood with just a couple steps to the left and some leaves. Anyhow, here are some of our pics.
