The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness!

Those words ring so true, and they were written by a man whose life was surrounded by unrest. Michel de Montaigne, is the author of that powerful phrase, and during the 16th century in France. The black plague was ravaging through the areas where the peasants dwelled, and religious wars were breaking out between the catholics and protestants all over the country.

Lately, I have been attempting to find that place he wrote about. That locale where my cheerfulness is my certain sign of wisdom, and not my stern exterior being portrayed as my face of intelligence. I want to be more upbeat about life, but that to me is false hope. George Carlin delcared in a HBO telecast that "Life is worth Losing" and I do follow that line of thinking. To a high degree life is better off not having, or losing it. Many of us will never get the amount of happiness we feel is due to us, and that in itself decreases our chances of a longer life. Though, we have all found nice little mask to wear that distinctly says, " We are alright." For the most part I think we have nulled our self into a bs cypher. The cypher where what makes one happy, must be the cypher to be apart of, and that sickens me. I am a person who strives to be a non-conformist for the most part, especially, when it comes to my mental planes.

When it rains, it really rains!

Well, my friends lost their mother two days ago, and I have been trying to just be a positive, calming, relaxing person for them. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting their mother, but I know them and they all seem to be a good bunch of kids. It's so sad. Before she passed away, I had met their father the day before, and he was a really nice guy in my opinion. He and I talked about his stint in Vietnam. His dealings with certain banned substances, how much he loves his kids, and how he wanted to reconcile with his terminally ill wife. My heart went out to him, and I had just met him. Sincerity is a nice quality to have, and he had an abundance of it, that I could see. The days for them begin to change that same night that I had met their father. While we were at the house, he received a phone call from the authorities stating," He should return asap because a warrant was issued for him. He is also under investigation for some stolen properties." Once I heard that news my head begin to shake uncontrollably, because something was in the air. A something that gave the aroma that this week will become even more interesting, and sure enough it has become such.

When I made my way to their house last night I had no idea that the atmosphere would be so somber. I crossed the street, and the front porch light wasn't on. I thought nothing of it, so I rung the doorbell. Answered the door, and he had look on his face. Like you have no idea what has just transpired, but I am happy you came. When I got word of the situation, my little heart broke for them. I would never wish their short week on anyone, but I will give them as much support as I can. I know this is a huge trying time for them, but people like me and others will try our damnest to aid them in getting away from this torrid storm.

I have the words to say, but I don't think they have to listen to them. So I makes jokes and try to make them forget about the grief stages for a few seconds, at least. I don't mind being a clown, hell it might be one of the few things that I am really good at. The funeral is slated to occur later this week, and I plan on attending.

Yeah, I am back in the cyber space world!

Sure, for a few weeks it looked as if I had gone awol to many of my loyal readers, but alas, I, sire have returned. I have missed all of you, but while I was away a lot of things have transpired in my life. The obvious, John Cena is once again WWE Champion. He defeated the rated R superstar at this year's Royal Rumble event. Kurt Angle also outlasted Mark Henry to retain his world heavyweight championship. The winner of the Royal Rumble match was Rey Mysterio, he stopped all opposing 30 opponents to declare himself the victor, and secured his chance to fight for either title at the granddaddy of them all," Wrestlemania."

So you see I have been watching my diet of sports entertainment, but that is not all I have been watching. The Pittsburgh Steelers won their 5th super bowl title on Feb.5, 2006. Congratulations to coach Cowher and Jerome 'Bus' Bettis. They both have erased the monkey off of their backs, and removed the asterisk of not winning a Super Bowl off of their records. In that same breath, I feel bad for Shaun Alexander and company. I was actually cheering for those guys to win, but the refs weren't allowing that to happen. The NFL was pulling for the steelers as well. Tagliabue was seen wearing a Rothelisberger jersey, joking. In all seriousness, I have no doubt that the big execs were on the side of the Rooney family, and that left out any room for Allen and his hawks. I knew the hawks had a chance, but I didn't know it would be administered to them through the officials of the game, but then, I didn't have my total focus on the game, I was trying to cut something, more of that in a few. Yeah, the calls made against the hawks had a 40% level set on the outcome of the game. In all fairness to both teams, the steelers may have still one if those overruled calls stood, but we will never know. All we can do is speculate on them, and I will do that.

Pro Bowl is this Sunday, and I am picking the NFC 56-42. Why you ask, because T.O. isn't there to ruin another locker room. We have some Cowboys players on the roster, so I am going for the NFC. Though, I want to see #85 embarrass the hell out of somebody on the NFC squad, I don't care who it is.

Yao is back, and the rockets have won 3- of 5 contests. I am still upset that Kobe and the Lakers bested us, at home, no less. 19-30, damn we suck major ass, but then again, so does the penguins of the NHL. I am still an adamant supporter of this franchise, even though Lemieux has retired again, and is in the midst of selling the team. Super Mario, I will miss you on the ice, baby. In my opinion you are the greatest to ever lace up the strings of an ice skate, and I am bias. Wayne's wife is in a scandal, now. A gambling scandal no less. The assistant is also in it too, what the hell is going on in the NHL today? I hope it all clears up soon. The NHL is taking a major hit because of this, well that's what I think is undoubtedly to occur. We all know that gambling is the only thing that's keeping Pete Rose out of Cooperstown. Though no players have been named in this, that I know of. It's going to come to surface and a few names will come to the public's attention, but who is the question?

T-Mac in the All- Star game again, and I couldn't be happier for him. I hope he tears the game up.

About a week ago, I got a text message on my cell phone from you know who. Apparently she was planning on moving back to TX because things weren't going as planned in a state that's east of us. I had no idea that the chick was contemplating thoughts of relocating here once again. It would've been all good if she moved back, but then again, maybe it wouldn't have. I wouldn't have had so much fun in the back seat of my car this week. Check it, I got another text message from this chick out in my area, and she wanted to get it on. It didn't matter where we were, she had to have it. She hinted that we should go to the park, and I obliged with that idea. Hell, it's secluded enough. Though the park was more of a last resort thing. We drove around for about an hour looking for a place to pop things off without any luck, so we went to the park. She was nervous, I don't know why, but she was. I think I have an effect on her more than she let's on. Real nice girl because she was ready to get it rough in the backseat of the Taurus, and I like that shit. Big notice, her brother is a good friend of mine and he gave me 110% approval. I don't know why he did it, but I wouldn't have done it without his approval. Not because I am some punk ass, but because this cat respects me, and I respect him. She's wants to be my fwb, and I have no problem with that. I still haven't called this other girl that this same friend gave me her number, I am going to call her ass. She's fine as hell, and I want to place that pipe on her.

I have been writing some impressive pieces as of late, and the roller coaster won't stop rolling anytime soon.
