My Journal


Writer's Block. That's Why You Haven't Been Reading Anything New From Me. Sure, I Have Things Going On In My Life But Not Important Enough To Write A Blog About.
Now If I Decided To Include My Daily Activity In A Blog Like Journal I May Write More. I Find Myself Checking Facebook 3-4 Times Each Day. I Read A Lot Of Useless Information. Yet Again That Same Person Might Post Something Very Useful, Humorous, Educational Or Sadness. So If You Come Here And Get Bored With What I Decided To Write About You Can Move On To Someone Else's Blog Or Facebook.
So What's New? How About I Came In 9th Place At The City's Senior Tourney This Past Weekend. I'm Not Happy About It Because I Know I Could Have Finished Much Better. I Told Both My Parents Today To Stay In Good Health. I told Them I WILL Finish In The Top Five And Get An Opportunity To Take First Place. I Know My Ability In Bowling, But I Sure Wasn't Anywhere Close. Trust Me When I Tell You I Will Be In The Winners Circle This Time Next Year.
Bowling Means Everything To Me. I Just Wish I Stuck With It When I Joined My First League Back In The 1970's.
My Diet Started Yesterday. Yesterday It Was The 29th Of April. It's Exactly Six Months Until Billie's Birthday. I Need To Shed A Lot Of Weight. A Lot Of This Weight I Had Been Carrying Around For A Number Of Years. It's My Belly Weight I Am Most Concerned About. It's Gross Looking When I See It On Another Person. Why Should I Be An Acception?
I Am Most Active In The Warmer Months Of The Year. It's Important I Am Able To Get In And Out Of My Box Truck. It's Important I Be Able To Lift And Carry Items. I Am Getting Older And There Are Things I Done When I Was 20 I Am Not Able To Do Today. It Would Make My Job A Lot Easier If I Were To Lose More Weight Than I Normally Do During Summer. Traditionally I Put Excess Weight On During And After The Holidays. I Am Less Active During Illinois Winter. I Plan On Changing All Of This. You Will See Me Log In And Share My Thoughts Of All The Things I Use To Enjoy To Eat. You Will Read About My Daily Walks. This Weight Loss Is Very Important To Me.
Tomorrow I Will Try To Inform You Why The Bottoms Of Your Feet Should Never Burn.
So Maybe If I Include My Daily Activity Into Words I Will Write More. I Have Work To Do In My Garage In The Morning. It's Forecasted To Rain. My Days Have Not Been Near As Busy As In Years Past. I Have A Sickening Feeling This May Be The Last Year For The Robin Hood Foundation. I Will Explain Further On A Different Entry.
Good Night Elzmerelda Poontang, Wherever You Are.....

Sometimes In Life Things Are Beyond Your Control. I Have Learned Through My Years You Control Your Own Actions But You Have No Control Over Others.
I Have Often Heard Life Is What You Make It. I Believe That. Life Is Full Of Choices. You Choose Who You Want To Be A Part Of It. I Have A Hand Full Of People In My Life I Dislike. I Choose To Ignore These People. I Don't Mess With Them And I Expect The Same In Return.
I Don't Go Around Looking For Trouble. On The Other Hand If Trouble Finds Me They May Have Found Their Match. There Are Times I Get Tired Of Dealing With People. You Have To Be Nice And Be Careful In What You Say. Otherwise You May Hurt Their Feelings And Get Deleted From Facebook. If Somebody Called Or Came To Me And Told Me They Don't Like The Things I Say Or Do, I Would Simply Tell Them To Stay Clear Of Me And My Life. I Don't Go Around Telling Anybody How To Live Their Lives And They Better Never Tell Me How To Live Mine. There Are Times When You Must Take A Stand In Life And Say Enough Is Enough. This Is MY Life. I Must Answer To Only One Person In The End. There Have Been Times I Can Hardly Wait For That Day. I Miss My Son Terribly And I Am Excited For The Day We Will Be Reunited. When My Life On Earth Is Complete Bobby And I Will Once Again Be Joined And That Will be A Happy Day For Me.
As For The Bridge Above? I Burned One Today And I Have No Regrets! As A Matter Of Fact I Feel Relieved. They Say It Takes A Lot Of Energy To Be Angry With Someone. I Tend To Agree With That Philosophy But Once You Burn That Bridge, Just Don't Look Back, Ever!

My Bowling Season


The Bowling Season Is Coming To An End. The Tuesday Night League I Bowl On With My Brother Will Be Determined Tonight. Our Season On This League Is Split In Two Parts. Our Team Won The Second Half. Tonight We Bowl To Determine First And Second Place. Our Team Is Considered The New Kid On The Block. This Is Our First Season With This League.
Win Or Lose Tonight I Consider This Season To Be Fun Filled And A Pleasure To Bowl With A Bunch Of Nice Folks. Not Every League Can I Say It's Fun. There Seems To Be A Few People Who Are Determined To Win At Any Cost. I Love The Sport Of Bowling. I Like It Because At My Age It's One Of The Few Sports I Can Participate In At A Level Of Good Competition.
I Currently Bowl On Three Different Leagues But That Will Most Likely Change Next Season. The Back Part Of The Bowling Center Considered The Annex Is A Completely Different Surface. Some Bowlers Seem To Be Able To Adjust To The Different Conditions. Apparently I Cannot. I Have To Use My Plastic Ball To Get A Decent Score. I Doubt I Will Return To That Surface Next Season. I Have Two More Weeks Left On That League And Two Weeks Left On My Thursday Afternoon League With The Old Folks. It Appears I Will Resume The Duties Of President On That League.
So Today I Am Both Eager And Excited About The Results Of The Play Off's Tonight. Years Ago Our Team Had Won First Place And My Dad Was On The Team With Me. That Made It Extra Special. Not Only That We Conquered A Team That Had Dominated The League For A Number Of Years. It Was Like A David And Goliath Type Of Thing. Tonight My Brother Bowls With Me And It Will Give Me Another Good Memory If We Win. However Win Or Lose Tonight Overall I Can Say We Lost To A Team Of Family Members And They Are A Great Bunch Of People.
It's Not Always About Winning You Know. I Just Love To Roll The Bowling Ball Down The Alley.

It's Just Not The Same As It Use To Be. It's April Fools Day That I Am Referring To. It's Like All The Air In My Balloon Has Been Released.
Since I Was A Young Boy I Thought It Was Cool To Be Able To Prank Someone Then Give Them A Good Reason Why You Did. I Considered It My Special Day.
It's Been Awhile Since I Have Written A Blog So I Assume My Readers Figured I Would Chime In Today. Sorry I Have No April Fools Day Pranks For You Via My Blog.
It's Not That This Day Doesn't Excite Me Because It Does. It Gives Me A Reason To Put A Little Laughter In Someone's Day.
I Thought Of A Good One Last Night But It Would Have Taken About Three People To Pull It Off. I Don't Want To Bother Anyone, Especially As Early In The Morning To Pull It Off.
Yes I Am A Cub Fan From Way Back When. There Is Always Next Year. Have I Outgrown This Special Day? Whether I Have Or Not Doesn't Really Matter. Those Who Know Me The Best Know To Steer Clear Of Me On This Special Day. Because You Just Never Know.....
