Dear Team USA

Because of you I am now a hockey fan.

Although you came home with the silver, you are still champs in the minds of Americans.

Great game! USA! USA! USA!

Hey USA Men's Basketball team, don't drop the ball this year at the World Championships...

New Logo and color

I am currently working on a new logo and a new scheme color for this blog, so if you have any ideals, feel free to drop a few comments on what you think I should do. Thanx!! ^_^

This is what I represent..

I just love this shirt......

At it again...

You know something, I wish I was off from work today...

Plain and simple...

But ya know you can't always have what you want, unless you own some stock, have pretty much millions of dollars, and have then you have every right to sit on your ass and be lazy. I know I would. At work we always talked about how when co-workers put in two or three dollars to play the Mega Millions when the jackpot gets huge and they would win, and what we would do if it was us. Knowing me I would walk up to my job with my check in hand, strip to a speedo and then do the D-Generation chop crotch to every customer in there ^_^. But that wouldn't be nice would it? I can tell you that I have been working since I was 16, I have made over at least $250,000 or more; and have no show for it. Now its the time I need to concentrate on saving money to retire on instead of waiting for that big money to happen. So if we want this to happen we must make something happen. We must live for the moment and seize it instead of waiting for it to flop on our laps. My message to those, grab what you want NOW, and don't wait; because you never know when that boat will sail right pass you.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it....grrrr what am I kidding!!

So tired of snow right now....

This picture was taken during our last snow storm in Northwest Ohio but yet I got this urge to just tell Mother Nature to STOP IT NOW!!! We are approaching March and I can't wait until the first day of Spring. I can't tell you that how much I missed the warm summer. This past summer and fall were probably the coolest I have ever experienced all my life. I'm not complaining because usually our summers are just plain hot and muggy, but as of right now I sure do miss it. Instead of being inside of the house right now, I could be doing a lot of things. I could be going for a nice ride, I want to buy a motorcycle and enjoy the warm breeze passing by me. But yet right now its cold and snowy; and we are not the only state that had snow this year (according to statistics, 49 out of 50 states got snow this year....). So when the first day of spring I will be happy to enjoy at least some good warm weather, but as every year we do have our annual spring snowstorm. Don't want to sound negative; but believe me I can't wait for some nice warm sunny weather.

I'll take ya to the candy shop

I am in love with this store. **drool**

In the Glass City, there is a store in my neighborhood that I visit frequently, called Boyd's Retro Candy Store. And I can tell you that will be a "kid in a candy store". I have found so many fond memories of various types of delicious candy that can't be found NO WHERE... Well I might be exaggerating, but what are the odds of finding a candy store with pretty much EVERYTHING you can think of?

If you would like to check out this beautiful store and all of is glory, check out the website:

Sigh.....

You see this sad face? This face represents all of the men and women in America today. There is a realization that we must face right now. Sigh.... no more football until August. I know, I know; I am so dramatic about this. But at least the NBA is interesting (not as much as it was when the Jordan-era was in full throttle), but what shall I do until the time being? Movies will do only much, Tiger's out trying to piece his life together, MLB only gets interesting in October, and I cannot get into NASCAR (can even barely understand the rules except they drive around a track for so long). Days like this I miss the AFL or the XFL. At least it would hold me over until August.

Genders Divided on Tiger's Apology: Mannie's opinion

I just got done reading an article about how genders are divided on Tiger's heartfelt apology about his infidelity. I am no what surprised about this, in fact why is everyone else? I mean, come on people, let's look at it this way: if YOUR Significant other cheated on you, would your friends completely bash him/her? Or would your friends be so compassionate, saying that he/she gave a heartfelt apology and give another chance? That how society works if you haven't noticed ever since you have been on this great Earth. It's not shocking that the male and female opinion is so divided. Tiger will get the male support because he stood up on t.v., admitted his fault, and asking for another chance. Tiger will NOT get the female support because the majority of them look at Tiger as the lying cheating bastard, another sport figure who cheated on his wife. In all, Mr. Woods has a long road ahead, and for him to get back on his feet, he is going to need the support from everybody to move on from this ordeal.

WOW!!

I am such a game geek.... ^_^

While I was out, I went by my little video game store called "Video Game Underground"

as I was leaving the store, at his counter stood these 2 energy drinks; Mana and Energy.

Now for those who are video game junkies, this is pretty much from the a knock off from the World of Warcraft game. Check out the website!!

Letter To T.W.

Dear Tiger,

What's going on bro? It seems you have been the center of attention because of your infidelity. We all know what you did was wrong, but why come out this Friday with a public apology? We should have all expected an apology like months ago!! But who can blame you for coming out now publicly; you were pretty much in sex rehab (I never thought something like that is remotely possible; I rather have you just admit you were stupid instead of going to some type of expensive rehab or even marriage counseling) and trying to save your marriage. But in my honest opinion, nobody is perfect. We can go through a long list of famous political people and we can expose them for all the cheating they have done, especially the one in the men's bathroom stall. But I guess the world doesn't see it like that. You are still the number 1 golfer in the world, and still a threat to anybody on the golf course.

I'm still shock of how much slack you will get when you come out and apologize for your actions back in December '09. Should we judge you for your transgressions? Maybe that is something you should think about as you try to win the heart of your fans and your sponsors. But lets instead of them judging you because of your "cheating heart", lets look at what you have done for the community:

-The Tiger Woods Foundation - established in 1996; It focuses on projects for children. Initially these comprised golf clinics (aimed especially at disadvantaged children), and a grant program

- In the City Golf Clinic and Festivals - Since 1997, the Tiger Woods Foundation has conducted junior golf clinics across the country.

- Tiger Woods Learning Center - This is a 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m²) educational facility in Anaheim, California which opened in February 2006. It is expected to be used by several thousand students each year in grades 4 to 12. The center features seven classrooms, extensive multi-media facilities and an outdoor golf teaching area.

- Let's not forget the donations you gave to Haiti to help the victims of the earthquake.

As I said before that people won't look at it that way. So let me close this letter by telling you this; I know it was a mistake(a bone-headed mistake), and hopefully it won't happen again. And before the public goes "Tiger-Bashing" Friday, say this: "He that is without sin, cast the first stone."

With Love

Mannie

SMDH..

You know something, I have a huge pet peeve. One of my colleagues sent me a link to a Dallas Cowboys Hater Club that is featured on the ever so popular Facebook. And it AMAZES me that someone will go through the rings of hell to make it their priority to "hate" on the 'Boys down in Texas. We know that we have our agenda on what team is #1 in the NFL, but is it that serious to just blast a team based on their past performance? So we took a beating against the Vikings in the playoffs, I can guarantee that majority of these so called DCHC probably didn't make the playoffs or were put out in the first round of this year playoffs. But I will not be a bitter "Cowboys" fan about what other opinion of their own. As a matter of fact, they have their right to be mad at the most successful football franchise in the history of the NFL. They were not dubbed "America's team" by choice, it was a given title to those who love/hate this team. I am a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan and I will love my team until I leave this beautiful earth. I will support my team through the hard times (look how dedicated the Lions, Raiders, and Browns fans...), and the good times. So I salute you to the haters of this team, because you have shown that in spite of your hate, you admire this team. And for all of us die hard Cowboys fans, keep your faith; that sixth ring will be in our grasp.

Just a thought...

Ya know something, do me a favor. You see that person across the room, or whoever it is, give them a hug and tell how you feel about them. You never know how important a person is in your life until they are taken away. Nothing didn't bad happen to me, just thought I would give out some words of encouragement to those who are looking for a way to express themselves to others.

Letter to Usher

Dear Usher

What was the reason for you wearing this outfit? Come on Bruh, let me know if you were auditioning for a new "Blade" Musical or something and you didn't have time to change your clothes. Lets get something straight, did you or did the stylist pick this out for you (Save face and say the stylist pick it out). So you never objected to this? For that you have got a lot of nicknames for this which includes:

-Ghetto Batman

-Dancing Blade

-Black Robin??

Great fashion touch, Usher! From the leather chest plate, to the nice gloves, and the capris, son! Matching with the boots! I'm a fan of your music but you have to get this in your head: Just say NO..

With Love,

Mannie

I'm BAAAAAAACKK!!

Well I wasn't gone that long but I will have a new feature which is called "Letters from Mannie" and a T-shirt Monday. I will display a new T-shirt that I will purchase and wear, no matter how obscene or crazy it will look! If you have a T-shirt that you would like for me to wear, let me know! But its good to be back and back to blogging (I promise I will keep up this time!)
