Random thoughts from my massive cranium

James Brown past away on Christmas day Still telling his friends & family he was going to New York to do a New Years eve show. He truly was the hardest workin' man in show business! Anybody that listens to music should say "Thank You" and take a few seconds to reflect on their love for music because James Brown's love for music HAS in some way or another affected the artist or artists they enjoy listening to. YES, you rebel flag waivin' rednecks, Rappers, POP Music, Soul/R&B, and all forms of Rock & Roll have been touched in some way by James Brown.

GODFATHER we will miss you!!!!!!!

Mr. Davidson said "We wont be outworked!" NEWS FLASH... Were being outworked!, were being out skated, were being out scored! I think the "dump and chase" is more like the " dump & try to get the puck back". Why cant we carry the puck into the offensive zone with some skill & finesse instead of dumping it in and losing control of it only to go back on the defensive?

I dont speak the language but Im pretty sure Khavonov is Brewer in Russian!!!

Its a shame to see the talent of Dally, Walt, Doug & Billy be burnt to a crisp because the system is broken.

To the fans that are showing up to witness this I say...KUDOS It is painfull to watch but its what we do cuz' we BLEED BLUE!!!!

I will be so glad when the mud slinging & baseball slinging is over!!!!!!!
I've heard way too much about what he or she is doing...isnt doing or what they will do!
Ive heard way too much about pine tar and poop on his hand!!!

I wish I could go into a coma till election day!!!

AND!!!! I hear NOTHING about HOCKEY!!!!

GO BLUES!!!!

Wal-Mart recently has began making changes in the stores and some of them have been good. But they have made some really really bad ones that have caused me to not only write this blog but to find alternate places to spend my money. The first bad decision was to stop selling firearms in their stores. They have changed the inventories around and carry less choices of products. They are discontinuing layaway. The final straw... beginning in April, ALL associates will be scheduled for only 5 hours per day. How can they expect people to live on this!!! How do they figure a single mother with one or two kids to pay rent, food, elect, and all the other things her family needs on 25-30 hours???

You must ask yourself...Do I want to give my money to a company that devalues their employees as much as Wal-Mart?

What happened to the slogan " Our associates make the difference"?
I'm sure Sam Walton is spinning in his grave seeing what has happened to his once great company.

It's going to be a K-mart Christmas this year I can tell you.

THAT IS ABSOLUTLY INSANE!!!!! Much less if I happen to take in a Cardianls or Rams game this year too!!! Plus IF the Blues go to the playoffs...I might as well try to sell some of my children to pay for the cost of my entertainment!!! From this day forth I WILL NOT buy ANY concession from the Scottrade Center or anywhere else that thinks a beer is worth $8.00!!! I will eat elsewhere even if it means missing the drop of the puck to do it!!!
Anyone else agree??? or am I being a whiner???...I LOVE hockey...but I LOVE $3000.00 more!!!

AND ANOTHER THING!!! Now you dont have to wait for "stoppage in play" before you can go to your seat!!! THANKS FOR THAT!!! What was the matter with instilling a little consideration into the inconsiderate people that will walk in & out anytime??? It didnt kill me to wait there for the whistle.
IT JUST SEEMS WERE GETTIN' ALOT LESS FOR MORE MONEY!!!!!!!!!
END OF RANT...THANKS FOR LISTENING.

Scot Young announced his retirement from the NHL, he is added to the list of many "old-timers" that have hung up the skates recently. Why? Is it age v. speed of the new game? Is it aches & pains dont go away fast as they used too?...OR is it the reason MANY season ticket holders hung up their checkbooks this year? MANAGEMENT... My seats increased in price but I dont know about value...I have less "perks" than I used too. I hear the promotional giveaways will be reduced this year. I sense NO gratitude or respect for the season ticket holders that have renewed each year and lately there have been some pretty poopy years to remember. Now some of you will say I'm whimping out...not so...I think Dave "C" is going to be good for BLUES Hockey...and since the nameing rights change my Savvis stock that I bought thru Scottrade has actually increased in value. I think they made some good moves in the off season and I'm POSITIVE about the coming year. Think about it...it would make sense to GIVE pre-season tickets to season ticket holders...The place is hardly occupied during pre-season...I'll bet more season ticket holders would come to a FREE pre-season game...and BUY more "stuff" and feel a sense of acknowledgement from the owners!...as always...GO BLUES!!! AND GOOD LUCK SCOTTY!

Has anyone noticed the Hwy 109 is getting busier and NOT any wider??? Now I hope all the westcounty yuppies that opposed the improvement are getting to Jr's soccer game late cuz their stuck in myred traffic trying to get out of the subdivision. Thankfully I dont have a real job and dont have to fight it nearly as often anymore! But...it's only going to get WORSE!!
