ORDER a SHIRT today and You'll have it by THIS weekend ...Unless you're not from CA. haha

OctoberFest 2011

Every time you think the world comes falling down,

And there's nothing believed to have left.

When the world walks out,

And it seems like no one will walk in

Somewhere down that road, there is a street

A street you will recognize,

Who will remind you of your accomplishments,

Your character, your success, your life.

Don't let life beat you down, don't let it win

You're better than that.

Failures will come and go, 

As well as most of your acquaintances.

When there seems to be no light left in the darkest hour,

One, will keep the last candle, burning.

Sometimes, it's the least person you expect,

Or the one you never wanted to touch.

But it doesn't matter who,

Because they will, they will hold that flame.

For as long as it takes to get you back on your feet,

Until they burn their hand off

Until they pass your flame to another,

They will support you.

Not because they want to or have to,

Or like you and need you.

They stand there as a reminder of what you've done,

How you've helped them through the rain.

And what you're capable of, who you can be, and who you are.

When the world walks out, they remind you

"You Matter"

Maybe to a few, maybe to one.

You still matter.

Things are never how you think, It's not like that at all

If it didn't matter, they wouldn't have said anything at all.

Because in all reality, you are better than that.

And We don't say good-bye.

Last Month Thoughts.
Food For thought:  

Giants didn't make the playoffs. Neither did the Red Socks. Let Down.

The NBA and the players need to get some kind of deal sorted out because D Wade and Cp3 aren't getting any younger. This lockout is killing me!

How about them 49ers being 5-1!?
I think I'll get my parents tickets for Christmas to a game...cause I wanna go wear my Patrick Willis Jersey.

My adopted sister is getting married next month. Excited for Britt! =]

Music of the month:

Been listening more to movie scores and instrumentals than anything else.. The power of an instrument combined with multiple instruments to create an emotion where any sort of picture can be painted which a simple melody is beyond understanding.  And for it to be given as it is like air, breathe, water, wind, and gravity.

Song Picks of the Month : Shout to the Lord_Ruben Studdard, Rose _James Horner, Iridescent_ Linkin Park, 23_Jimmy Eat World, Beautiful People_Chris Brown, Islands in a Stream_BeeGees

Quote of the Month: 

 "It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward- how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky Balboa


Rule of the month: Rule #43 Dj Baby Yu will always brighten the mood.!

 

Thoughts of the Month: 

Lately, I've been letting the loneliness, failed companionship, and job failures get the best of me.  I've questioned the people in my life, and the reasons for downturns.  The feelings in my mind were let on to this page and It shouldn't have gotten that far.  But as of Tuesday, 10/18, I've turned over a new leaf.  My life is still up in the air...But I shouldn't question the failures, only appreciate the success and things I take for granted.

Goal of the Month:

_Find new hobbies for the big 2-4 and get one of my heroes [P Willis, Baby Yu, D Wade, T Swift,] to read a post (Not this post)

_Take More Pictures

Topic of the Moment:

We can't control anything beyond our grasp.

And Patrick Willis is still my hero, More than ever.

3's update...

Allen Iverson was dropped from the Grizzlies, so he's in search for a job...
CP3 went down last week with a very bad ankle sprain..It's said he'll be out for 3-4 weeks.
Dwyane Wade...Need I say anything when Power Rankings Said it all..
"Dwyane Wade broke spirits (Anderson Varejao), broke hearts (Nets), and broke records (franchise-record 22 straight 20-plus games) this week."

The 49ers won on Thursday against the Bears...I think I already wrote about it, but yeah they need some offensive help.  Their Defense on the other hand, is pretty darn strong...

Bill Bellicheck took a risk and it cost the Pats and Tom Brady the game.  Most people disagree with his choice, I being one of them.  Sure, it's great to have Tom Brady with the ball in the final minutes of a close game, but if you're leading the game by less than a touchdown, and it's more than 4 and 1, (4 and 2), on their own 30 yard line, I think everything leads to punt.  I get his decision, but it wasn't necessary.  If they were losing by a 6, yes, absolutely.  If they were winning with the down, 4 and 1, maybe.  But the safest bet would be to punt the ball and trust your defense.  I'm still agitated that Tom Brady lost..Gr

No need to talk about the Raiders losing to the Chiefs.
No need to talk about the Wizards struggling to find W's.  Everyone says it's because they don't have Jamison, but how much would he help?  I mean a significance yes, but I don't htink one player changes a 2-6 team to above .500 just like that.  It's still gonna take time for him to get used to the rotation and the game.

Kings are above .500, and are on a 4 game win streak, the latest coming from the Rockets (who beat the Lakers the next game).  WOW. Holy Smokes ,would have never predicted that.  I guess I'm a pessimist when I told people this would be the only two game winning streak this season, and they already doubled it.  Ha, anyways J T and Tyreke need to keep gettin me fantasy points!

Warriors traded Stephen Jackson for Raja Bell and Vlad... I don't like that trade, nor do I like how it hurts my fantasy team of Anthony Morrow, Anthony Randolph, and Stephon Curry... Hopefully, they drop Vlad , or trade for a pick cause there's too many people on that team!

Assassin's Creed II comes out this week too.

"Welcome to your KODAK moment Anderson Varejao."

"Wade, Oh The Facial, Yes and the Foul."

Can you Imagine Marv Albert practicing his lines in front of a mirror back the day when he was a new broadcaster. Haha. If you missed the game tonight, that is unfortunate. I missed some parts of it, but at least got to see the main event. Sure, D-Wade lost, but he put up some fighting numbers. The Heat are still getting better, and he dunked on Anderson Varejao. That dunk is dunk of the year, kind of reminds me when he dunked on Emeka Okafor last year...

Anyways, both are freakin sick. While most speculate on if LBJ joins D Wade to form one of the best duo's ever in Miami next season, another all-time great duo was in the arena. By that, I mean Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. D-Wade also sported the new and up coming 25th Anniversary Jordan's due out in Feb. Personally, I'm not hyped, but I guess we'll see when they're released.

I missed some of the game due to the other National Game on TV, and it wasn't basketball. The Niners played on NFL TV for those who don't follow. And must I remind you from two years ago, Patrick Willis is a BEAST. Manny Lawson, I was also a fan of him his rookie year (one prior to Willis's entrance). The 49ers are horrible on offense, only scoring 10 points...Even after taking away, or being given, 5 Interceptions by Jay Cutler. Somebody Fire that man. Hopefully, the offense can get it going or else there's not gonna be no post season this year.

Oh and Michael Crabtree is still impressin.. especially with the out of bound catch. Sorry, since it wasn't a catch, I don't spot it on Youtube. haha

Keep your Eyes Posted!

Congrats to Dwayne Wade on his 10,000 points Milestone.  This is what you call Superstar.






This Wed, he will be on National TV, ESPN at 7 P.M Eastern Standard Time, against Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards. I look forward to that matchup, although I'll miss the first half due to school.
On more news, Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings, is injured and listed Day to Day.

Anthony Randolph is still trying find his All-Star caliber, but can't blame him cause Nellie ain't playin him!.. Same thing with Anthony Morrow. Gallinari is a steal pick up right now, hitting 16 3's this season, including 8 in one outing. The Italian Knick can shoot!
I'm debating if I should pick up Courtney Lee, Peja Stojakavic, and/or Kenyon Martin...and drop either, Travis Outlaw, Yi Jinilian, and/or Anthony Morrow.

49ers Lost. Raiders Lost. Tom Brady is on the Bye. Redskins are on the Bye. Thank God the Ravens smashed the Broncos....49ers could've won, but didn't score the 2nd half of the Indy game, to leave Indy undefeated. Raiders, they just suck. Tom Brady's comin back from London. Joe Flacco is the man!

Celtics are undefeated, with Rondo signing an extension, 55 Million for 5 years. Jesus, just think, the Kings could've had him, instead of Quincy Who? Douby. Great, just Great. Kevin MArtin is still proving me right when I say, "Worst Clutch" performer. My dad was on Fox News too.

 

(Around the 540 Mark)
He had more coverage time, but I suppose they didn't like his responses. This is a revised/edited version. In the previous version, my dad answered questions of what should've been happening during the time of the crash, Along with what "might've" occured to cause the crash. And lastly, he finishes with, "slim chances" when asked what were the chances of survival. He said it with a straight face...I bet the family members are disgusted with my dad.

Let’s talk Sports!

NBA Start of the Season<

Cleveland is 0-2 ! Wow. Boston 2-0 and Lakers 2-0 , big surprise there. New Orleans aka Cp3 needs some back up cause the Spurs just smashed them.  I like Cp3's sense of humor, "We were supposed to go 82-0 but we knew it wasn't feasible." lol. Atlanta's Al Horford put up better numbers than Dwight Howard (only cause Superman didn't play 2 quarters).  Both Florida Teams won.  Kings Lost, big surprise there.  Warriors lost, cause Morrow and Randolph didn't play at all. Thanks Nellie.  Utah lost to Denver, Philly got smashed by 3's.  mmmHmm.

Ah so the NBA started this past week.  Great to have those games back.  Dwyane Wade, hopefully will return with a stellar MVP performance season.  He had a quiet 26-5-5 over the New York Knicks.  Hopefully his shooting percentage will go up.

Hometown:

The Sacramento Kings look horrible, with or without their whole team, with or without their rookie, Tyreke Evans, with or without Francisco Garcia, with or without stellar performances from Jason Thompson, Spencer Hawes, and Kevin Martin.  They lost to Okalahoma.

Other Hometown:

The Washington Wizards, the other supposed “hometown” city team is starting to look terrific.  Gilbert Arenas looks back to his “hibachi” form, while the rest of the team seems to be upgraded with Mike Miller and Randy Foye.  Injuries will be a part of their outcome.

Yes, I know, similar teams.   Nellie needs to play Anthony Morrow cause I think he has the potential in being Most Improved Player.  Yi Jianilian is also in that category.  Hopefully, Courtney Lee wasn’t a bust cause he’s gonna get a lot of playing time in New Jersey.  Travis Law was picked because one monster game.  Troy Murphy was probably the worst 4^th pick of a draft, EVER.  Mario Chalmers better step up his game as a 2^nd year player, oh did I say I like the Heat? And their back court.  Derrick Rose is back for a better year, or at least I hope.

NFL

Hometown:

49ers look to beat the unbeaten Colts this weekend.  Good luck with that and your new quarterback, Alex Smith.  They did, however, look well last Sunday- Second half, against the Texans.  But it wasn’t enough.  The Crabtree looks like we shouldn’t have doubted him, nor should’ve held out on him.  We should’ve paid him, maybe? We’ll soon find out if he was lucky last week, or if he’s really as good as he says.  He looks kinda good though.

Raiders, you all need to go get a quarterback who wants to win. I think they should borrow Shaun Hill for a little bit, since their own QB, Jamarcus Russell, can’t even take blame for their losing.  He only takes blame for the wins. Haha How homo.

Other Hometown:

My boy Joe Flacco, also looks stellar this season.  Better than his rookie campaign (which was amazing).  The Baltimore Ravens need to step up their game just a tad, just because they’ve been losing by hairs to great post season teams.  They face Denver’s undefeated record this weekend, and are 3^rd back in their division to the Bengals and Steelers. 

Haha, I don’t even consider this a hometown team.  They’re in the same boats as the Raiders.  I never claimed Raiders either, but anyways.  The Washington Redskins are such a big disappointment.  I think they have extraordinary pieces like Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, and Merryweather. But something is not right.  Jason Cambell > Demarcus Russell but they’re still struggling.

My boy Tom Brady looks to be getting that 16-1 form again.  Hopefully he’ll do 7 TDS coming back from the Bye in next week (not this weekend, BYE).

More Sports!

"Let's go Red Socks Lets go."

I heard the second home to the Boston Redsocks was in Baltimore. I didn't believe it. I should've though, cause I finally experienced it. The Orioles were hosting the Redsocks, and you bet, I was there. Red and Blue shirts filled the stands, maybe 5 for every single black or orange shirt for the Orioles. That was only the beginning. During the game, with every strike out from Lester, or every hit by a Sock, came clapping and cheers. When the baseball themes came on, guess what you heard. "Let's go RedSocks lets go!" And when we sang the old Baseball theme song from Jack Norworth in the middle of the 7th, "Take me out to the Ball Game," guess what you heard at the Camden Yards. "Let me root, root, root for the RedSocks."So I guess the media was right, there is another Fenway Park, not in Boston. My, how that would make the Orioles feel bad. Give these guys a break, they have the worst record in their Division, and their home isn't exactly home when hosting the Redsocks. The second game of the series on Saturday, September 19th, was probably the best out of the three. The First game of the series, the Redsocks beat the Orioles 3-1. And the last game, The Redsocks led 7-0 before finishing 9-5.

The second game however was closer...well at least the first 6 innings. Lester surrendered a couple home runs, making the game a tight one. The Orioles actually led 1-0 and 3-2. But that would be it. The RedSocks did some damage in the second inning, takinga 2-1 lead. After trailing 3-2, the 6th inning is where the Orioles allowed two consecutive home runs. My were the Red Socks a sight to see. It's amazed me the most how a single bad night of personal problems, could lead to such an amazing experienced event. On top of the good game, the tickets I had were in the second level behind third base, which isn't too bad for a late reservation seating. And on top of the top of that, The section was "All you can eat" the whole game. Yes. Free hot dogs, popcorn, soda, peanuts, nachos, and ice cream sandwiches. All in all, the game was well worth the 55 bucks and drive.


Could you believe the 49ers are 2-0? Yeah, I wanted them to make it. But they actually are. They defeated the 2008 Western NFC Champions and runner up Superbowl players. But here the All-Run, no Gun, 49er's beat them, fair and square, 20-16 on their first season game. I was lucky enough to see the final 5 minutes thanks to Fox and the late - game running. If it weren't that, I'd probably only read the highlights. The second game, which was yesterday, was even better. I wasn't lucky this time, but I did see the highlights thanks to NFL.Com. And I was able to see Frank Gore for two 79+ runs against the Seattle Seahawks. I guess they were trying to make up for first game's rushing stats. Frank Gore was actually in the Washington Post as this weeks best performance. So apparently, San Francisco is back on the map (for now) at 2-0, where they will next face Brett Favre and the Vikings. I think this game will be a real test, as we'll be able to see where they stand...I knew this way before, but man I love Patrick Willis and the defense.

On more NFL updates, the Jets backed up their talk against Tom Brady aka MVP, and the Patriots. Unfortunately for my Boy Brady, he suffered his first loss since 2007... or was it 6? I dont' remember exactly. And the "local teams" won as well. The Redskins (not a huge fan) won 9-7 against the Rams, and the Ravens (bigger fan) beat out San Diego. The Bills won with T.O (amazing), and the Cowboys lost their Stadium opener on a last second Field goal by the Giants. The Vikings won with A.P rushing less than 100 yards...Saints scored 40+ points again to start 2-0. Jay Cutler got out of his funk, and helped the Bears win this weekend. Surprising losses: The Pats, The Steelers, The Cowboys, and the Titans (2-0).
