good talk

I'm declaring a cessation of hostilities with McKayla Maroney.  She seemed to implode a few months ago, I suppose realizing that I would never have-her.  Inexplicably, she went for my throat on numerous occasions, for 2 years, which didn't (favorably) impress-me.  I don't know that McKayla has Herpes, hopefully she doesn't, something-happened, she was a beautiful-girl and all at-once was squatty from over-eating and had really big-lips.  Not yet "21", I would think that she can regain the way she was, somehow.  And what, she's trying to launch a singing-career, maybe she'll be the next Julie London, whomever.  This has happened with me a few-times, where a really good-looking girl would initially try to have-me think well of her, and then be really-mean to me (in sexual-ways), and then she'd be crushed when I didn't want her, seemingly affecting the rest of her life (I think a lot of myself, don't I).  McKayla, we all must carry-on as best we can, and I wish you well (I emerge a noble-character in this).  20 years ago, I was all-over Central America as it was coming-out of Civil War, the only time it was safe, not since, and it was wonderful.  I saw the Mayan ruins at Copan (their kings all had cool-names, the most famous was "Smoke Jaguar"), in Honduras.  In Guatemala, I was at Tikal, in my travel-guide it said ...When you come out of the jungle and see the Temple of the Sun it goes all the way to your gut... so true.  When I was in Guatemala City, I was told that there was a popular saying  ...Even the prettiest girl (defecates)...  What, someone might say this when something unexpectably goes wrong?  This is the worst-expression I've heard

I, like most, would enjoy celebrity and the money that comes with-it (all you yokels seem to have bad-consciences, were it I, I'd do the right-thing by Ed, and assuage, you're not acting-normally).  Alicia Machado, Miss Venezuela, won the 1995 Miss Universe Contest, not the first from her country to do this, Venezuela, a country of 30 mil has produced more international beauty-contest winners than any other country, going-there you'll see more beautiful-women than you shake a stick-at.  Anyway, half-way thru Alicia's 1-year reign, she who had won the contest weighing 122 lbs., weighed-in at 174 lbs. (when the finalists were asked their plans for the future, Alicia said that she eventually wanted to own a restaurant), and was making her public-appearance crammed-into her Miss Universe garb--she looked terrible, Miss Universe looked-like a fat-slob.  According to the Miss Universe bylaws, Alicia could have been replaced by the 1st Runner-up, and everyone (this got a lot of international pub) expected this to occur.  Donald Trump, graciously and mercifully, kept Alicia on as Miss Universe, and worked-with-her to regain normal and appropriate-proportions.  Not only did Alicia Machado retain her title as Miss Universe, she looked like Miss Universe, and should have been very-happy with Donald for all that he had done for her.  Instead, she turned-on Don, who had been so-kind to her, Alicia is an ingrate

I followed Arnold Palmer at the first American Golf Classic, at Firestone Country Club, in 1961, he won-it the next year.  A guy recently told me that some woman he knew was all-excited because when she was part of "Arnie's Army", Arnold had looked-at-her.  Palmer had looked-at-me, and I was offended, thinking, what's with this guy looking-at-me, I might not have-had the right-attitude, well, I was only "14", a young-boy.  Some athletes are like-that, enjoy looking-into the crowd, "counting the house".   Arnold had a lot of charisma, he generally excited-people, and was iconic in the popularization of golf.  From Akron, I had shot many rounds before giving-up golf at "16", as did both my brothers.  LeBron probably didn't do this, altho like Jordan and Barkely, who are golf-fanatics, no doubt tried the game in early-adulthood, I've never heard of LeBron shooting a round, so I'm sure he doesn't.  Like so many, my father thought Golf was The Game, and as a young-engineer at Goodyear, belonged to a country-club by himself (his mother, my grandmother, said, that he complained that if he took a girl to a club-dance, old men would try to dance with her).  I doubt if my Old Man jitterbugged, wasn't that in vogue then, you ever see that, to see those who are good is very-nice                                        

good talk

I had a huge number of Hits before 10:30 A.M., today, you're mistaken, I'm not your father.  Jose Fernandez was a big-time pitcher.  He was to pitch Monday, and the Marlins probably winning.  Scott bet the Marlins season-total at "80", and they won't make-up the cancelled-game (the regular-season has 162 games, but it's only necessary to play 160).  When Jose was speeding, at night, and no doubt drunk and/or on drugs, somehow managing to hit that huge concrete-jetty, he wasn't thinking about the ones who'd be affected, he wasn't thinking of his unborn-child or Scott.  Donald looked tired at the Debate, now, Mrs. Clinton took a few-days off to prepare, and Donnie needs to relax, probably doing no more than sleeping for 10 hours a couple-days before the next Debate, it'll do him a world of good, and needful after many-months of 3 hours of sleep each nite.  No one is superhuman, he needs know when to slow-it-down.  The 1st Debate is inconsequential unless one of the candidates starts drooling (or talking at length with his tongue-extended).  The NBA Players have-it in their contract that they must stand for the Anthem (which is a heck of a tune, I've been to Fort McHenry, taking mass-transpo from downtown-Baltimore, altho the British hit the Fort hundreds of times, they were only able to kill 4 guys), so that'll be interesting.  The "Star Spangled Banner" has only been played before sporting-events, with WW 11, to promote a feeling of patriotism

good talk

Our sober-friend, Matt Bush, relief-pitcher of the Texas Rangers, is currently 7-2 with a 2.56 ERA, averaging a strikeout per inning (if you send them to the dugout they'll do no harm), and will make a mil this season, and maybe a whole-lot more in the future.  We've seen Matt go from 3 and a half years in prison to this, and we're proud of him.  And we're also proud of the Texas Rangers Organization, Matt certainly wound-up with the right outfit, which knew how to treat his disease, the Hooch has never done anyone favors

I used to take as many photos as anyone else, but for the past, maybe, 15 years, I just go with a 27-shot flash Fuji disposable, the last cost about 10 bucks at Wal-Mart.  I rarely see anything that I think, now, there's a picture.  And, if I ask someone to take my picture in front of something, which I often do, nobody would try to run-off with it, would they.  On this past trip of 48 days to lots of fab-places, I took 23 pictures.  That wonderful-day, when I was outside of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, almost into Russia, it was so cold on May 5, that my hand was so-frozen that I dropped my camera from shoulder-height on the solid-pebble-inbedded ground, it hit with a "crack" and the flash went-off indicating it had taken a shot.  I just picked-it-up, shook-it and there was no sound, wiped-it-off, and put-it back in my case, I figured it was intact, not-broke.  Now, if this were any other camera, say, the ones that all of you snobs use, it would've been real-broke, you'd be out-of-luck.  I got home, and had the film developed into beautiful 5x7's, duplicates, for about $50, sending a set to Bob in Cleveland (don't you wish you were related to me).  It's the King-Tiger of cameras.   While at the Panda Preserve in Chengdu, China, I was ready to snap a picture of 3 baby Pandas cavorting in a tree, you know how cute that looks (maybe not), as my index-finger went-down on the button, a girl, about "16", bumped my right-shoulder in her eagerness to behold ...You Idiot...  Immediately, a girl, say, "20", very-loudly  ...You look like a gentleman (I'm always assumed to be an English gentleman) and you say that to her!  And she went on and on, yet again, very-loudly, now, I'm not going to stand-there and let someone lay into-me, I responded in kind, this went-on for awhile.  She spoke perfect English, not many of the Chinese speak English, much less well, knowing you people you're wondering, what did she look-like, pretty-good.  The younger-girl was probably her sister, and maybe a little-slow, she her fierce-protector.  Did this make a scene, nah, how many witnessed, 60.  I didn't think much about-it until I got Stateside, but now find-it unfortunate.  Hopefully this doesn't have you thinking less of me

"Snowden" was pretty-good.  He's pictured as an epileptic little-guy, I don't think he is epileptic, it doesn't sound like it, and he's 5'11".  His girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, looks pretty-good in her picture, as does the chick playing-her, nice eyes.  What got me, was when that simple, Eric Holder, was trying to lure Ed back to the States to face Prosecution, the way it sounded was like, Holder was offering him a reduced-sentence, say 20 years in prison instead of 25 (they went real-light on that Manning guy (girl).  At the end of the movie (not giving anything away), Ed's actual father says ...He'll die in Russia, he's never coming back.  Las Vegas is hot and heavy for stadium costing billions, and everybody agrees that 750 mil will be raised by increasing the "Guest Room Tax," there seems to be no dissent on this.  40 years ago throughout the country, the tax on a hotel room was usually 5%.  Then it increased, to often threefold today.  Locales are no-longer thankful that visitors to their cities are spending money for goods and services that otherwise would go unsold.  Today, municipalities want to take their Visitors, turn-them upside-down and shake-out their pockets, if Las Vegas' tourists feel that they're being gouged, they might not want to go there                   

good talk

I was thinkin', it was more-like I was getting better after a day and a half of taking those 2 Swiss Pharmaceuticals, and I wasn't fully-cured for 4 days, I continued taking-them for another 2 days (I still have some).  I looked all-over for the address of that Pharmacy, as I wanted to send that Coptic family a thank-you card, strangely, I couldn't find it.  I always keep records of everything (German), usually in my mind (how many Yoga Classes have I taken, "194").  I was real-sorry I didn't send-them a card.  The doctor (an Internist) I saw every 4 months for 13 years left the VA to work for another federal-agency, my letter to her  ...I've often spoken of your care, I'll think of your skill and kindness always.

Hopefully before Obama punches-out, he'll Pardon Ed Snowden (it'd be something to have a son like that), and Bernard Hopkins.  B-Hop has led an exemplary-life since leaving Graterford Prison at "23", is a smart-guy who was his own-manager, negotiating many huge-purses for himself.  He's spoken of public-office in his native Philadelphia "If they'd only overlook my 6 Felony Convictions" (said tongue-in-cheek), and myself and others believe it should be so.  Kelly Pavlik (See My Blog of March 11, 2013), is in his usual puerile-trouble, being charged with felonious assault after shooting some guy with a pellet gun, his wife married a child.  While reading the Sept. 12 S.I., I found myself turning-back to the Fla. State player eating lunch with the autistic boy

I had pneumonia in 2008 when I had an 8 hour layover in Brussels on my way to Cairo, I had the pneumonia-vaccination for all the good it did.  I wasn't going to hang-around the airport for so long, I took mass-transpo into Brussels and saw the sights.  I usually think I'm invincible, I was running-around in a Ban-Lon and it was quite cold, some lady said ...You'll get pneumonia...  I saw their Cathedral, not very impressive, and was 5 hours in their Museum of Art, which was real-good.  My first day in Cairo, I started coughing, and soon I was coughing every few-seconds.  I did the Egyptian Museum and Great Pyramids, etc. for 3 days, my 4th time doing-this, and headed-down to Luxor, doing the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Karnak, etc., my malady not impeding-me at-all.  I basically just lay-there coughing all night (stayed in a 3-Star, the maid expertly shaped the bath-towels like a swan and other pleasing-shapes), Egypt is cheap, always had 2 dinners on their roof, in the early-evening.  But I was pretty sick, really.  Back up to Cairo, and bought a cheap-ticket from a Copt Travel Agency, to fly to Kuwait City, in the late afternoon.  Took a long-time to get through "Immigration," there were a couple American-guys in their 30's, and the one was telling-me ...You're not acting-right (I was sweating and coughing)... and was making similar innuendo at some-length, I'm sure he meant-well, but he was bugging-me, his friend didn't say anything, just smiled.  The next-day I'm seeing the sights, and I also see a pharmacy, and these were Copts, a husband, wife, and little-boy, his mother was teaching to do the books.  Upon hearing my complaint, the lady gave me 2 Swiss Pharmaceuticals, and some Egyptian Cough Syrup, the total bill was 36 U.S.  I followed the instructions on the boxes, and was cured in a day and a half.  The Copts were the first Christian Sect, founded when St. Mark arrived in Alexandria in 48 A.D. (In 68 A.D., Mark was martyred when worshipers of the pagan god, Serapsis, tied-him to a horse and dragged-him thru the streets for 2 days), the women stand-out in a Moslem World, as they always have a crucifix around their neck.  From my experience, the Copts are very-good people, smart and very-helpful, I was certainly-grateful in this instance

Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook, last nite on HBO, was real-interesting. The Kazakh's shots are so heavy, that no one at 160 lbs. can withstand them.  That was Kell's first loss, he'll go back-down in weight, now.  It was a wise-stoppage in the 5th Rd. when Kell's trainer, Dominic Ingle, threw in the towel (the referee didn't see this for awhile, we audience just thought that someone in his corner yelled "He's through," or something, I saw no towel).  Brook is from England, and the fight was in London, apparently Kell was ahead on the Scorecards at the conclusion, ridiculous, he was fighting with broken-bones around an eye from the 2nd Rd. on.  Gennady speaks good English and is well-spoken, he says that he next wants to fight Billy Joe Saunders (an Irish Traveller), but the real-good fight would, of course, be Saul Alvarez, "Canelo," I'd certainly take Golovkin in this.  HBO's camera-work was beyond terrible, those watching know-well what the ref's back looks-like.  UFC is becoming very-popular, I've seen it for 10 or 20 seconds, I'm very-refined, it reminds me of Caveman

GMA recently had someone on their early-morning program, being interviewed (yeah, the squatty-chick with the big lips), who had sued numerous Porn Sites for showing her in Kiddie Porn Nude Poses.  Your "10"-year-old could have watched this person being interviewed, ABC is a raunchy-network

My mother would have been "98" today.  Asheville, NC is and was the largest-city in western North Carolina, and my mother, Mary Ellen Williams, graduated 3rd in her class (?) from Asheville High School in 1936, and, not overly ambitious, won and took-advantage of a scholarship to Cecils Business College.  Begun in 1905, by the Cecil Family, relatives of the Vanderbilts, it was called this for a century, it's now called something-else.   Asheville was a resort-town, and people came and lived-here, as high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it was considered good for those who had Tuberculosis, my mother's father, a tobacco-salesman, had this.  After graduating from Cecils, my mother worked as a secretary at the County Courthouse, she didn't know Thomas Wolfe, she used to see-him walking-about, but knew his secretary.  I haven't been in Asheville since I was quite small, but would like to someday see the Biltmore Estate, built by George Vanderbilt in 1905, the fab house is the largest in the U.S.  Anderson Cooper of CNN is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, so this might give-us a slight-connection.  I quit smoking on Sept. 5, 1983, it was Labor Day that year, after smoking cigarettes for 16 years, and man, that's a rough-habit, I'd be dead by now had I continued.  I also smoked marijuana throughout my 20's (when I was "20" I took a pound of weed in the inner-pocket of my sportcoat, on a plane, from Frisco to Cleveland, no way of telling how many State and Federal Laws I broke).  Take it from one who knows from vast-experience, for recreational, medicinal, and other reasons, smoking-anything is terrible for you (inhaling smoke?)   

good talk

If you can get 20 mil, I wish someone would sexually-harass me.  I didn't know that Gretchen Carlson had been Miss America, that's very impressive.  I've always thought that Gretchen seemed a nice-lady, but I notice that it was only after she was canned that she complained about Roger Ailes badgering-her for sex, even tho this had gone on for years, even many years.  Gretchen has been married for 19 years and has 2 children, I'm sure that she mentioned this "sexual-harassment" by Roger Ailes to her husband, and that the both of them just put-up with it, so how-bad could it have been?  Had some guy been constantly asking my wife to have sex with him, I would have told him not to do this.  This was settled quickly, probably the lawyers got 2 mil, and Gretchen 18 mil, nice-work if you can get it.  Las Vegas Liberty, a public high school, just went to Texas and beat their 2nd-best team.  On the History Channel, they said that a cord of wood was 4' x 4' x 8', I didn't know that

good talk

It's been years since McKayla took nude-underage photos of herself (kiddie-porn), and posted-them on the Internet, this is the production and distribution of Child Pornography, and many thousands of these photos have been reproduced and sold, all this is in violation of major Federal Laws.  She's the source of all this, without her illegal-actions, none of this would have occurred.  Federal Prosecutors would have swooped-in long ago, except for Obama's intervention, as he had hoped to get-some down the road.  McKayla is no better than anyone-else who would do this and should be held accountable, Obama rules as tho he were king

Ha, ha, I hope that I'm not being cruel, you know I'm a regular guy, but I don't think that even someone like  Strahan, Hibbit (Hibbart, Hibbirt?), or Obama (protected her from Federal Prosecution in the hopes of getting some down the road), would be interested in McKayla Maroney, now (also with gymnastics over, has put on weight and appears rather squatty), ha, ha

"Hands of Stone," was real-good.  Prior to their bout in Montreal's Olympic Stadium, before 50 thou, in which Duran made more money than he ever had, and Leonard making more money for a fight than any previous fighter, Duran had strategically-goaded Leonard with taunts and insults, including, as shown in the film, telling Leonard, that his wife, who was present, was a whore, and that after he defeated Ray, he was going to (sex) her.  When they met on June 20, 1980, for Leonard's WBC Welterweight Championship, with Ray a 2-1 favorite, Leonard was lured into slugging-it-out with the smaller but harder-punching Duran (...across the ring was Charles Manson staring at me...), with Roberto pounding-out a unanimous decision (not split, one judge's scorecard had been tabulated-incorrectly, everyone watching thought Duran had won).   The Public clamored for a rematch, which took place at the New Orleans SuperDome on Nov. 25, 1980.  This time, Ray, having learned his lesson, boxed evasively, and did better.  By the 8th Round, it was a close fight, with Leonard a little-ahead on the scorecards, towards the end of the 8th, Roberto, perhaps frustrated by things not going as well as before, and suffering indigestion from having gorged-himself after the weigh-in, suddenly turned-his-back to Leonard and waving his hand, walked-towards his corner, saying to referee, Octavio Meyran, "No Mas."  The people of his native, Panama, were horrified, and ashamed that their hero had given-up.  But they celebrated in the streets, when Duran later knocked-out the previously undefeated Davey Moore, taking his WBA 154 lb. Championship, redemption.  Robert's wife, Felicidad, was played by Ana de Armas (getting to know each other  ...Can you read?  ...Is this a job interview?), she is so beautiful, they showed-her almost nude,  I'm pretty-sure that she'd like me, I'm gonna send her an email, be ready, Ana

Kyle Snyder of Ohio State, who won the NCAA Heavyweight Championship, this past March even tho he was only 5'11" and 226 lbs., often wrestling against guys who weighed 285 lbs., which I would think to be impossible, was named the winner of the Dan Hodge Trophy, for outstanding college wrestler, for 2016 (See My Blog for Aug. 10, 2009).  Winning the only Olympic Gold Medal for the U.S. in Men's Freestyle Wrestling at the Rio Olympics, Kyle was given $250,000, a nice piece of change.  I asked my brother, Bob, if he himself, was in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Ok., and he said ...I'm not of that caliber, that's the Supreme Honor...  He said that he's mentioned in-there for winning the Dellinger Award, as best wrestling-writer for 2001.  He might-be more modest than myself
