Tuff act to follow…
I woke up to this news on Ten Ten wins. It jared me right out of my sleep.
I won’t say why because you will never be believe me… Tom is the man though; I admired Tom since the Outsiders. I grew up watching Tom on the big screen, Katie, on the other hand, I wont say a thing and please dont ask me via email or in person because I wont answer. Tom is wealthy and handsome and famous. I on the other hand and not any of those things. More power-to-ya-Tom.
When your slow, you blow.

http:// Save Toby .com

Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don.t help. I rescued him several months ago. I found him under my porch, soaking wet, injured from what appeared to be an attack from an alley cat. I took him in, thinking he had no chance to live from his injuries, but miraculously, he recovered. I have since spent several months nursing him to health. Toby is a fighter, that.s for sure.
Unfortunately, on June 30th, 2005, Toby will die. I am going to eat him. I am going to take Toby to a butcher to have him slaughter this cute bunny. I will then prepare Toby for a midsummer feast. I have several recipes under consideration, which can be seen, with some pretty graphic images, under the recipe section.
I don’t want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account from donations or purchase of merchandise. You can help this poor, helpless bunny’s cause by making donations through my verified PayPal account by clicking on any of the Donate buttons on this site, or by purchasing merchandise at the Savetoby.com online store.
Here is the current status of donations for Toby, as of April 24th, 2005. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

On this note
I will update next Monday have a nice weekend

Karma and Murphy’s Law have one thing in common.
Both of these providence’s are not logical. Best guess, Faith, Luck, Chance or roll of the dice disobeys logic. When you choose to live in a particular manner, or make the ball in the hole in a certain way, (past present and-or future) I think it is or was or will be a choice based ill logic; or how your brought up or influenced during those clean blue print or blank canvas years of your life; child hood. Choice stems from faith, “stems” not is. Choice, Faith, Chance, Dice-roll-however you want to call illogic all fall in a category that is pro right-side of the brain; this is logical thinking. If you don’t believe in faith or have trust in your on natural ability then how can you know if it is the right choice? With a Win? Or a loss? Sometimes when you win you loose. To choose or “roll the dice” is not logical. Blue pill or red pill? Best guess? Or Logical choice? I like the green pill. The green pill is immediate. It is Reasonable to incorporate faith or “rolling the dice” for choosing the most logical way to make the ball in the hole. Can choice be a sum from and equation? Equations are universal; people drama, mathematical, left brain right brain and so on.
Below is something I wrote Back in August 2004

The religion of William
William's Eight (so far) deadly Sins of pool

But arent these all the things that make it great?

1. Arrogance: overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors
2. Selfishness: stinginess resulting from a concern for your own welfare and a disregard of others.
3. Fear: The point at which the mind stops denying reality. The emotion of the ego, contrasted with love, the emotion given us by the all mighty; originates in the expected punishment for our seven deadly acts, which our guilt demands; the resulting terror over what we believe we deserve leads us -- through the dynamics of denial and projection -- to defend ourselves by attacking others, which merely reinforces our sense of vulnerability and fear, establishing a xxxxxious circle of fear and defense.
4. Anger: a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance
5. Cheater: someone who leads you to believe something that is not true.
6. Lying: the deliberate act of deviating from the truth. A false statement (in an academic matter) made with the conscious intent to mislead others.
7. Denial: Inability to acknowledge something apparent to others. It can be an involuntary coping strategy. a process of automatically blocking out awareness of painful realities, thoughts, or feelings in order to protect oneself from emotional distress
8. Opinionated: obstinate in your opinions.

 

Tuesday April 26 2005 about last Monday night
Jay tells me let it go William, let it go.

You never really waist your time unless you learn something from it.
Then again what do you learn? That all depends. Is it something you learned before and just for got? Or ignored… Are you consistent with repeating the same mistake over and over? Yesterday my heart broke, again, but this time it seemed not quit as hard as the first time. Like more diluted or something, I almost cried, almost but not quiet. After an hour or so I just dealt with it, I have done it before. It makes me sad though, I almost felt like I wasted my time but I didn’t, it all depend on how I choose to look at it. I did think about my best friend whom I lost a while ago, my heart was racing through out my entire match. I won it though but I still felt like I lost. But I didn’t really, at least I hope I didn’t.

Sometimes I can be a little Thug

About last Sunday Night

No excuse for me...

If there was any table that " i " will remember never to play on again.. it will be Blue Room. Nice bar great Hot Wings (Atomic,) But The balls are not to my practice or likeing. The center of the Balls don't meet with the edge of the rail bumpers of the table. That means The balls are 25% smaller and heaver than your average Bar cue ball. Some people can rock out on tables like this but other like my self need a little adjusting. But for some people like myself bye the time you adjust it dosent matter anymore...

 

Anway we did ok...

 

Spencer

Sunday at Blue Room... or Atomic Wings

Here is something "i" wrote back in July 2004 and shouldve remember what I learned the first time this happend to me...

Did you know that the center of the cue ball on a standard size pool table should meet and be parallel with the blade of the rail on the pool table, there are variation of rail height’s so the center of the cue ball can be a few centimeters below the rail which is fine provided the pockets are two balls width. But if the cue balls center is more that 25% lower then the blade of the rail then you will get a faster carom or a slower of the rail shot. And it within the norm that the ball will compinsate for it size with weight so the balls will be small and heavy. If you want to play with snooker size cue balls on a pool table go two SoHo Billiards.

Breath
Sometimes when I am shooting a big Star Bucks Nine ball Extravaganza with Douglas, towards the end of the match sometimes it ends up with me missing the critical ball and Douglas getting it in the hole, but afterwards when we go to shake hands, I noticed him and myself a little out of breath. Why? Breathing is factor in your game, it a universal rhythm of things.

The Inner game of Tennis

By Timothy Gallwey
Saturday 9:30 pm on the way to the doorframe.
Here is a piece of a book I read today that I have slightly changed a bit, by adding in bold text the word “pool” I like to compare the same principle of “the inner game” Timothy Gallwey is using for tennis.

Tim Gallwey
Tim Gallwey attended Harvard University where he majored in English Literature and captained the tennis team. He served as an officer in the US Navy and was one of the founders of a liberal arts college in the Midwest. Starting in the mid 1970's Tim Gallwey produced a series of best selling books, which set forth a new methodology for the development of personal and professional excellence in a variety of fields.

 

For the last twenty years Gallwey has been introducing the Inner Game approach to corporations looking for better ways to manage change. Through lectures, consulting, and seminars, his focus has been directed at three targets, 1) helping all individuals in a company learn how to learn, and think for themselves, 2) helping managers learn how to coach, 3) helping leaders learn to create "learning organizations." His long-term clients have included AT&T, IBM, Arco, Anheuser Busch, Apple Computer, and The Coca-Cola Company. His newest professional interest is helping people who work in teams to learn how to work together more effectively.

From Pg 123, 124
Just as the breath has a twofold rhythm which echoes the ebb and flow of the tides, the rising and setting of the sun, the up and the down, the in and the out, the potential and the actual, the masculine and the feminine, so too do most of the strokes in (pool) or tennis repeat the rhythm. Ground strokes have a back and forth, a feminine and a masculine component. With a backswing there is no follow-through without a follow-through, the back swing is of no use.
There is practical application of this notion. One-way to achieve a natural rhythm in your ground strokes or (pool strokes) is to allow your swing to (almost) coincide with your breathing. Inhale with your backswing and exhale with your follow through.
Match your stroke with your breathing not your breathing with your strokes. You will find that in a short period any jerkiness and irregularity of rhythm will begin to fall away.
I don’t recommend this practice during a match, for the obvious reason that it is difficult to regulate your breath to the irregularities of the point, but if you practice matching strokes with breath in practice, the basic rhythm will become a part of your game.
The Inner Game Of Tennis, 1974 version ISBN 0-553-27372-8

Sun 12:55am
On the way home, I left the doorframe early today. Its raining outside and my stomach hurts. I can’t hold down food for some reason. From the short time I was there at the E-bar I was reminded of a few things. Miniature natives always need to feel hegemony to compensate for lack of charisma, no matter what. Keep your ideas on how to run three balls on a pool table to yourself, James is real annoying.

Mon 2:45pm
I went to Hugo Boss with a friend of mine yesterday; she was a outlandish to shop with. She waned me to buy up the whole store. I told her I was better off buying Hugo Boss stock shares instead of the shit she was picking. I like Hugo Boss clothing; I wish I had the means to buy the things I wanted. Afterward I went to my pool match and played on a table were the center of the balls was lower then the edge of the bumpers, the balls were also real heavy. Jay shot the best on the table out of the whole team, my team is good but I new something was going to go a miss with this kind of table.

Jay goes downs on the Chicken but comes up in his Game....MVP here he comes!!!!

2 out of 8 people begin with the letter" i " here at the APA
i-Game
I have come across this so many times in my almost 4 years on the APA already and it always ends up being the same thing over and over again. All I can do is laugh ....
-
Is that team winning? Good take me or “ i ” with you…what do mean theirs no “ i ” in team? Yeah but there’s “me” in team, If “ i ” join a team then that team better win around me or “ i ” am going to take my “ i ”-game” to another team. Because a team that’s winning should take me with them. You mean this team is in the finals already? But can “ i ” be an “ i ” on this team? “ i ” want to be on another team so “ i ” can be the reason why we won. Can’t “ i ” just do what “ i ” want? If “ i ” want to join a different team every season then why cant “ i ”? So what the team needs me to win as team, its about what “ i ” want, who cares about team cohesion along with eight people functioning as one to get the win that can only be done as a team. This other team looks like fun and “ i ” want to be on it. So what “ i ” have done this 8 or 9 times already in less than 3 years and “ i ” might get a rep as a flake team player on the APA like some already have, its all about me, and what “ i ” want and how “ i ” want it, I just want to win, oh…wait a minute…I’m already on a team that’s a few games away from the goal. Ahhh. Who cares, “ i ” just want to win with a team “ i ” like not with a team “ i ” don’t want to be with anymore. Its all about me, and not about what team is, even though “ i ” want to be on a team that wants to have team players who function as a team and not as someone who is on a team that’s not the team.
-
Things like this never end good its a good thing “ i ” don’t abandon ship when the going gets not going my way.
- ps: “ inthe word team you can also spell: meat, met, tea, mea, mate, tame, tam-tam, and a few more words that mean something.

Too bad for some, but not for me....

Talk smack ...
(v) To talk trash, insulting or casting doubt on a person's ability.
Before the fight, the boxers were talking smack to each other.
Source: keyshaw, Jun 24, 2004 http://www.urbandictionary.com/author.php?author=keyshaw
**
Talk shit ...
1. To say something uncalled-for or rude
2. To say something for the purpose of instigating a strong (possibly negative) reaction
3. To speak lies behind a person's back
4. To make empty threats
1. "Damn your mom was good in bed last night"
2. "You're ex-boyfriend told me that his vacuum cleaner can give better head."
3. "She sucks all her boyfriend's friend's dicks!"
4. "I'm gonna break your kneecaps open and make you drink the fluid"
Source: Lila & Set, Dec 29, 2003
**
So I sent my definition to urbandictionary.com. It should be up shortly
Loud mouth ...
1.Dont know when to shut the fuck up.
2.Talks before thinking about what they are saying or why they are saying it without consideration for consequences.
3. Big mouth, loud mouth.
4. Diarrhea of the mouth.
5. Talk the talk but too scared to walk the walk.
6.Someone who says they are great at playing pool until they get on the pool table and then cant make a ball in the hole; and have nothing but excuses afterward.
**
Potty mouth stinks ...
Especially for your game (pool.) Some people think its fun to upset the feelings of there opponent after they win their game; they seem to feel good about this on the surface. They feel above there opponent. Superior. On top. They feel good about gloating.
To gloat: malicious satisfaction. Now, some times some people gloat because of there own insecure reasons; these reasons vary from person to person. Some people like to goade you into talking smack, He will do this goading by lying about you to your face, putting words in your mouth in front of others, making things up about you, pretending to play dumb after they do something nasty to you or say subtle nasty passive aggressive comments about you, or just beat his own drum load enough to water down your 15 minutes. When you react to this, this gives the geode’r comfort. The comfort is the “defending himself thing” against you, getting you angry, pushing your buttons and getting under your skin, this is his security blanket, his safety net for the thing inside of him that caused him to have potty mouth to begin with. Someone yelling and screaming or making loud excuses when they loose there match inadvertently makes their opponent look better, appear mature, look professional.
**
Don’t goad me to talk shit please, because sadly not nuch will be said from me but mostly just you listening to the sound of your own big mouth...
The games people play sometimes extend way out side the table regardless of the fact that you are only appearing to be playing on the table with one other person. Sometimes the game begins after the match is over.

... Team Stick it In got two of five yesterday ... That's ok ... We are good anyway ...

A tiny bit of Monday

The new 78!!! years Old Pope is the new hope

Cardinals Sing a Tough Tune
Ratzinger—now Pope Benedict XVI—a true hardliner
by Rema Rahman
April 19th, 2005 1:39 PM

Hardline Catholics got their man Tuesday, when the College of Cardinals elected its dean, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, as the 265th pope.
Soon after the white smoke appeared from a Sistine Chapel chimney—at about 5:50 p.m. Italian time, 11:50 a.m. on the East Coast of the U.S.—a cardinal announced to the throng gathered in St. Peter's Square that Ratzinger was the pick, and that he would take the papal name of Benedict XVI.
Ratzinger had been considered a strong but perhaps not strong enough candidate at the outset. He had made a high-profile push for declaring the previous pope, John Paul II, a saint in the days immediately following his April 2 death.
Something of a liberal at the beginning of his career, Ratzinger is generally considered to have been a driving force behind several of the Catholic Church's strictest and most social divisive moves in recent years. In particular, he has held the line on homosexuality, women's ordination, and the vein of progressive thinking known as liberation theology.
Going into the secret conclave, many observers wondered whether the cardinals would seek a kind of compromise figure, but that was not to be. Ratzinger secured the necessary two-thirds of the vote, from the 115 cardinals, in only the second ballot on the second day of voting.
Ratzinger, 78, made his first appearance shortly after the white smoke and ringing bells signaled his election. He gave his first blessing as pope to the cheering crowd. The new pope called himself "a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord" and said he was consoled that "the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means."

Hmmm?
I Wonder if the New pope likes Rock & Roll? Will Bono from U2 Give him Guitar pick? 78 years old...I wonder if he's into crowd surfing?

"The differences between Insanity and genius is only measured by ones success"
Fri/Saturday 4 15/16 05
I will update on Monday. But in the mean time…
The thing about having a heart is, its exposed to everybody and everything around you so that makes it vulnerable, putting armor around your heart only makes you hard and pretending you don’t care about anything only means your scared.
The foundations you learn in pool always need to be practiced, no matter how good you get and what you know, foundation disappears in your advancement, advancement in this case is like building a tower made of knowledge, when you start to reach the clouds you tend to wobble and sway a little, that’s why you need to go back to the beginning and strengthen your foundation.
Sunday 4 17 05 12:00 pm
Last night was good as far as the music goes… NO MICHAEL JACKSON (beat it & thriller) and NO MODONNA (boarder line) was played at any time during my shift; thank the stars. Ron was not there last night; afterward George drove me home after the Bar with Sarafina; I like Serafina.

1:30pm News flash the Pope body still not rotten.
When I woke up this mourning I was in complete bewilderment as to why I would have a dream about playing pool with the pope.
It might have been the conversation I had last night with Eric about how the church will not embalm the body of our beloved Pope just to wait and see if he is a saint. That’s right; news flash the Pope is still not rotten corps yet. Yup that’s right there still body surfing his dead body around the Vatican and on top of that giant ass crowd loitering out side.
2:00 pm
If everything in life was a simple formula, then everybody would be doing it real easy, if it were that easy then how can any body direct there propensity toward there conscious or un conscious endeavor? Be-it-making an omelet, creating a new computer program or making the ball in the hole, how would it be any different from each other? If you had it all figured out (“life”) then why live? life with simple formulas? That’s insane if ya-ask me. Formulations work well; only, if we truly and honestly understood that’s life is not a formula.
