in my life...

in my almost fifty five years of life,i have not been a total angel...i am basically very nice,but folks,i have had days,and years,in which i have been something less than angelic... in fact,i know some people who simply do not like me at all... to those people,i say that i really do not care a whit about what you believe about me... i learned a very long time that you can not please everybody,and i refuse to try to please those people who knock me down,and i also refuse to take any guff from people who dislike me,because those people are not worth my time... i spent close to a decade "on the road",and that time really taught me a great deal about life and people... most of that time,i had a meanness to me that i had to use to really survive "on the road",and walking and traveling this country gave me a ten year tan,because i was outside so often,but honestly i refused to buckle under to the aching need of being no one... i was a true survivor,and the main reason that i traveled so often that i really did not want to became a mental vegetable,by staying in one place for too long,because i knew down deep that i had too much on the "ball",to be a real piece of mental trash... i did some things that i truly regret,because i did hurt some people,but i wanted to really survive,so i was sometimes a real jerk,to put it mildly... i survived because i had to,and i did not care what i had to do to survive... i still do some of the things that i really learned "on the road",but i try very,very hard not to hurt people,so i smile a little more than i used to,folks,but,need be,i will be someone who you may not like too much,and honestly i really do not care a whit about it... i am a true survivor,so be it!!!!!!!

blog statement...

i will listen to the broadcast of the Packers-Titans preseason game,tomorrow night,for more reasons than the final score,paying more attention to the back end of the roster than to the starters... other than that,it will be "Idaho Spud" time,this weekend...

blog statement...

within a few days,i will start a daily post about Packers' history using the Packers' team historian,as my source...

a night at Lambeau Field...

Lambeau Field looks beautiful... i know that i have not looked at Lambeau Field,for awhile,but it looks absolutely gorgeous like a jack o'lantern,with the main concourse lighted up,and it looks like crooked teeth... just beautiful...

apparently,Favre is coming home...

there is a report,and press conference,Monday,in Green Bay,involving one Brett Favre... Favre's personal website says that he will be inducted into the Packers' Hall of Fame,next summer,and apparently,have his jersey retired,sometimes soon... Favre will be eligible for Hall of Fame induction in 2016,so the Packers want to induct into the team's Hall of Fame,and retire his jersey,before his expected induction into the Hall of Fame,in 2016... i guess both the Packers,and Favre want to make amends for his bad exit,in 2007... he says,on his personal website,that it will be a tremendous honor to be in the Packers' Hall of Fame,and was a tremendous honor to play for the Packers for sixteen years... i will hold my opinion until the press conference,and,ultimately,Favre's comments that he will make when he has his jersey retired,because he said some very hurtful things,to the fans of the Packers... i am willing to hope that he has much regret for what he said to the fans....

commentary...

absolutely no disrespect to the seven new inductees of the Hall of Fame,because they were all great players,but the seven speeches and the television BS that linked the speeches together lasted over four hours,and by the end of it,i simply felt like i had been tortured by the length of it... one speech actually put me to sleep for a few minutes,because of a monotone voice,and one other inductee was thanking everyone in the stadium,it sounded like,and simply would not shut up,period... someone joked that it would end before the Hall of Fame class of 2015 was inducted... after the broadcast,i just screamed,and felt like i had been through the Bataan Death March... what a sham of a broadcast,and a shame,period...

commentary...

folks,i usually start blogging on the first of the month,every month,but yesterday,i just felt like taking a day off,after two horrible months in a row... it has been just a terrible summer,have been very ill with headaches(migraines suck-changes in weather cause them in me),and just being blah... i just hope August is much better,because i would love to have at least,one month of fun,and enjoyment this summer... i am just fine physically... i did change my diet,so i do not eat that much junk food anymore... at least,i try(laughing)... i have not had a can of soda,since February 2013,and have had only one burger,in five weeks... i do take my medications every day,and i have improved,health-wise,but i do wish that i could get rid of my migraines... i guess the weather has been very very poor(at least for me),and i do miss living near the beach,because,in seven years there,i could count the number of migraines on both hands... the ocean breezes swept away the crud that usually cause my migraines... having allergies does not help,because Sacramento is known for being allergy central... there is an old tale that if you live in Sacramento,you will develop an allergy to something,within a few years... family has been here forty five years,so you get the idea... maybe i am allergic to family(laughing),but again,i may just despise Sacramento that much(laughing)...
