Funny stuff Rivjo. Hate to meet the person that thinks OJ was innocent. I try not to talk trash; just give an honest opinion. But, it might end up being a bunch of garbage. I guess that would make it trash...ha ha.
Riv- If you would, please read my comment on "gather around guys" by DustyOutlaw. I'd like your opinion on if that is an inappropriate way to voice my frustration with the topic of conversation on that post.
sportthink--I don't know whether appropriate or inappropriate is the right word in this case.
You didn't resort to name calling which I don't think is ever good. I did that once and I felt awful about it and went back and apologized.
Your comment was "passionate" for lack of a better word in expressing your opinion. I took your words to mean that you felt Dusty was in bad taste and wrong for making a bigger deal out of the death of a horse than a human. It was a verbally "strong" comment but I don't know I would say it was "bad".
Besides, Dusty's a grown man. He'll kick it right back at you. I wouldn't think about this too much. You guys didn't see eye to eye and that's all.
I do understand though. You sound like me. I just want to the the right thing myself and stick to my own prescribed standards of behavior.
I guess if I worded it more like your third paragraph then I'd have been less questioning of my method of disapproval. Thanks for the help, you're a good man.
(Of course...you could probably appreciate this better if you could see me here in my AI jersey, cornrows, and Benz necklace - hat to side - in my best Iverson voice.)
You know I, more than anyone, have much love for a good dose of truth...just don't get too good at this or I'll be out of a job!
A lot of food for thought here. I think the only one I disagree with is the one about mean people. I not only think they can help it, but I think they are wired in such a way as to really enjoy stepping on people.
Burger--Thanks alot man. You are too funny. I totally wrote this without you in mind and then when I posted it I thought to myself, "That's rather Burger like".
Thanks for not feeling like I was moving in on your turf.
I'm just passing through your neighborhood of truth. I'm one and done buddy.
I definitely don't want you to have to "keep it real" with me.
Great post Rivjo. A lot of good stuff there. It caused me to stop and look at myself some. Keep the great posts coming. O.J. innocent? Not hardly, but someone out there might think so. Not me! Great to hear from you steelfan. I live in the Northeast and I'm tired of freezing.
rivjo, you are a serious funny man. Some of your thoughts is like you are talking about me. No vanity here. "If everybody tells you to go all out,
if you do nobody likes you. Case in point in my new blog that's up today. 75 - 80 comments about my views on ####s and religion and so forth.
Dang riv..this is top notch. Love it. I am printing this out and putting it on the fridge...a true honor...ask my kids! (they will be jealous, but they will get over it...there's only so many heart doilies made from school that I can stomach on the fridge)
rivjo ...... A nice and succinct piece ! Now you're making me too embarrassed to offer any more posts within the forum. Boy am I ashamed of myself or what ? I haven't felt this way since the first time I saw my gilrfriend naked. No that's a lie , I should say I haven't felt this way since I caught my block and tackle in my zipper. ! Now that did hurt and was funny at the time because I'd just finished having sex with the girlfriend in the back of her passenger van.
As is your story !
Cumbersome,awkward and really painful at the time as we'd stopped by the roadside driving down from Orlando to Key West. What is it with a female that they sometimes choose the most inappropriate moment to want to get intimate ? I know we guys are meant to 'hound dogs' but the ladies too can snap back and be just as bad ! If not worse ? Have you ever overheard a female talking with her friends about when she's had sex ? It's enough to make a grow man either cry or blush ! That's why I tend to keep quiet when her friends are about as I don't want to a part of their conversation !
Lisa- Hello pretty lady. You sure know sports so your attractive level goes straight to the roof!
I am VERY honored that something I wrote will make it to the side of someone's refridgerator. I feel like it's my first published piece.
Having kids of my own it's getting increasingly harder to find a spot on my fridge. If yours is cluttered too, the spot right in front of the freezer should be cleared immediately.
I'm going to have to tell my wife about this one. That's how flattered you've truly made me. Thanks a ton.
tophat--Hey dude...you can make a million blog names but you'll always be tophatal to me! Now that I got that off my chest thanks for the visit.
I LOVE talking to the ladies talk about sex. I always tell my wife she better say I'm good cause that makes her friends think I'm cuter. Well maybe not.
Anyway, I've seen enough of your posts to know what you have on the brain. If you ever stopped some guys would be real disappointed.
By the way. Don't forget Sugar Shane Mosely is fighting tomorrow, once again at 147lbs. He's going against Luis Collazo if I am correct. I like Mosely. He's got skills. I think he could present problems for Mayweather Jr., if Floyd gets by De La Hoya as I believe he will.
As for getting a post into the "Other" category. Once you have the cursor blinking in the "Add Catergories" box, move it over to the add button so that once you're finished typing the word, "Other" you can simply click add. If you move the cursor for any reason, it will think you're looking for another category and begin changing the word "other" to another category.
I hope this helps, bro.

Mean--That's a good word for it. It seems people aren't as nice, respectful whatever you want to call it to each other sometimes. I guess I was trying to put things back in a proper perspective for a second. We all can be messed up and can certainly do a better job.
As for the "other" category thing, it's been so long since I put anything down there I didn't think to type the whole word in it in. I've gotten spoiled as any category I want just pops right up. Thanks for the reminder.
Dan--Yeah, and take some shots of whiskey too. Especially since I don't have a fireplace. I can lay down next to the heater vents I guess.
ricko---Glad you liked that one about trying too hard. As you see I'm still protecting the Suns too. I still don't get the hating. Thanks for reading.
Nostradomus---I love you man...nostradomus that is! I always watch those specials about him on the history channel. Very interesting stuff. You gotta get yourself an avatar of him. That would be hot.
I also believe that there is good in everybody. Well almost everyone. Some people like Charles Manson must have been as close to pure evil as possible. I tend to think that mean people are just deeply unhappy. Someone/something hurt them to their core. Fix the pain and then "niceness" can live again.
wow riv...thanks for the kind words as well...and your blog is above the ice maker on the fridge.....hubby loved it too. Hope that doesn't freak u out being on someone's fridge! Thanks again!
Lisa---Are you kidding me. The BOTD queen just put something I wrote in her kitchen and her NFL husband liked it too. That's like winning a Newbery award for bloggers.
I'm being silly of course here but in a sincere way. And no it doesn't freak me out at all. If anything it's very cool.
Keep us frozen northeasterners in your thoughts as you walk around in t-shirts.
sidd--I think we all have. It's very humbling when we reflect and think of all the mistakes we have made. It's those things that hopefully make us better people. It's also a great way to laugh at ourselves and remember that we're all idiots sometimes.
cuz---You got me pegged. I absolutely hate anything and everything to do with the state of Wisconsin. Talk about a totally poser state.
Just kidding dude. I actually kinda like the state. Bucks, Badgers, Packers and Brewers are all good to me. I mean how could you not like a baseball team named after beer or a football team named after meat? We are men after all and we need beer and steak. Those team names are wonderful.
As for hating, I do sometimes. It's just so random I can't always place it myself. Although I hate the athletes who tortured my favorite teams.
steeler--A blogger name stork or something like that is doing a league for bloggers. I just let him know that I would be interested in playing. The blog should still be up down in the Nascar section if you're interested.
Dudski started one last year. We started with like 30+ people and by the end only 10 or so stuck with it. Even so it was fun.
Shooter---And when I'm being nice I'm really being mean, but only on Mondays when I forgot to eat my plain Cheerios with extra wheat germ for breakfast.
Oh, and by the way I'm never wrong unless I make a mistake.
Everyone needs therapy. My shrink uncle told me so.
I'm a special ed teacher by trade. Funny, I spend my day wanting to say shut-up to people and then do the same here. Just can't seem to. That would be rude and most uncivilized.
I like to write and never met a thought I couldn't continue. My blogs, like this bio, tend to be far too long. I can admit it. If you make it to the end of one of my "essays" there's usually a message that could have been written in half the time by a better writer than me.
Did I mention I was a finalist in NGS II? No really I was, further proving that theyll let anyone in this place. I came in 10th, which is better than 16th I guess. Other than winning the 4th grade graduation writing award it was the biggest literary accomplishmen t of my life. I still haven't gotten used to being famous.
At one time or another I've been both these guys.
