Some Back bone...
How, its funny, some people have issues, problems, concerns, doing consistently the same mistakes over and over again and again and the only way they address the issue is to instead, to not go to the source of the problem, but to suppress it by creating another one.
Here is one wrong way of how some people deal with the issue, of a herniated disk. Take lots of painkillers. Never repairing the physical damage of there spinal cord, which is why they have this excruciating pain in the first place.
My buddy has a herniated disk; he is in the kind of pain, to some, can be so unbearable suicide is an option, that is how pain full it is. A herniated disk is the soft spongy tissue located in-between two of your vertebrae; your vertebrae which most call the spinal bone. The cord of your spinal bone is wrapped with muscle, that muscle, having a thin layer made of super sensative nerve ending that are connected and effect your entire body with every movement one makes, even blinking eye lids is part of your spinal nerves. If any of these nerves, which is located all over your spinal cord is moved, pushed, plucked or even hair lined-touched in the wrong direction. You will feel pain, all over your body, starting from that one spot being in the most pain. A kind of torturous pain; some people call this pain, the devils touch.
The pain you get is from your damaged disk, which is pushing against the nerves located in your spinal cord. The pain is a result of a slip or herniated disk. This disk needs to be repaired, pushed back or removed entirely. Removing it is a procedure some doctors call, spinal fusion. Spinal fusion is the removing of the soft spongy tissue in-between two of you vertebra and the two vertebras are fused together. This will alleviate most of the pain. Other ways to repair the herniated disk resulting in stopping the pain is pushing it back with physical therapy, athletic Meds and other vitamins used mostly by teenage tennis players and professional NFL players. This approach is the regenerating of the damaged spongy tissue pushing against the nerves of the spinal cord, in the mean time as you are properly dealing with this horrible issue, one takes pain killers to make dealing with this less pain full.
My Dumb-ass friend thinks, the problem here with a damaged spinal cord is, the pain. Get rid of the pain with painkillers, what a dumb ass. The pain is coming from a damaged spinal cord; fix the spinal cord and the pain stops, mostly. One takes painkillers as they are dealing with fixing the problem causing the pain. Not to take painkillers to fix the problem of the pain. This rational for taking painkillers continually for an issue that is not being dealt with a sign of one with devotee characteristic.
The pain is not the problem; the pain is coming from your problem. Painkillers stop the pain so you can deal with the problem causing your pain. You fix the problem you have no more pain, you do not need painkillers anymore. If you are taking painkillers to deal with a problem that is causing you great pain, you will always then, need painkillers, you will always need drugs to deal with the pain. This is called an addiction. |

It’s hard isn’t it? Being a part of something wren’s the only leverage you have is, just wanting it. Being a part of something wren’s the consequence is only the results of your efforts and nothing more than that.
No circumstance or excuse, no reason-but the only true reason; you wanting it bad enough and not some one else wanting you to want it bad enough.
Its not easy for some, dedication to your obligation, and the only way to finish something and start it all over again is, simple, responsibility, to yourself and the impression you give describing your word and words.
You gotta be strong, truly strong to mean what you say, start what you finish and not hide behind the leverage you so so fish for before your beginning, again, what you are so afraid of, so in love with and so so desire to achieve, then thanking your success to only your......

'These days are starting to merg into one again'
|
A few days ago I discovered something. First, learning is not like discovering. When one discovers something they’ve already learned, truly-learned, then too discover it afterward, I guess one can say, you have relearned something? No… this is wrong. Discovering sinks-in. In a place inside, you, that is permanent, and will never be forgotten, and I am not talking about-forgotten in your memory, but forgotten in that other place you just came from-thinking you just learned.
Discovering-something becomes part of you, not a part of something you have to make an effort to remember, but more of a part of how you act, react, perceive receive and respond. Discovering goes into your nature. Nature, yes it becomes a part of your nature, the rabbit is not taught to run away from the fox, running is already part of the rabbits instinct, part of its nature. Educating yourself is not part of your nature; it’s a part of your knowledge. Now Wisdom, that is were all the permanent stuff is. |

Where am I getting this from your wondering? What is it that recently that stuck into my gut? Truly, there are some people I have kind of insulted in the past, and there are some people who never new how good they had it. One thing is sure, the roads we must walk are not necessarily the roads we choice, but more the one we are presented with. Yes we choice our own path but it is up to us if we want to walk that path, then again you might end up discovering you are already on your way.

The Handicap systems for both leagues are…. is…well a system, I have my own. I have never been too crazy about the official ones though. I do believe though if you play at a certain handicap to long, you get accustom to the nature of its benefits against higher ranked players and vice versa. To improve your game, one must always play with higher ranked players then some one more your speed. |

Captain Ronnie Camacho comes back from a few years of not playing on the APA with a clean win for the Summer 2007 APA playoff finals.
I don’t play on Tuesday anymore. I use too, but not anymore. I now play on Thursday. Its tuff, the judgment is tougher. The players are tougher, the tables are bigger, longer and the field is smaller. I like the APA bar league just as well as the other one I play in BCA. The APA is a bit more flexible, you can get hammered, stoned, bonged out, smoked up or whatever your life style is, still be an A+ or open player or be a new player-an-APA-level 2 BCA D or D+ to the game of pool and not be judged to harshly. Both are good fun. |

Drunk driver killed, 4 passengers hurt in Queens accident
BY TANANGACHI MFUNI and ERNIE NASPRETTO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
Friday, September 14th 2007, 4:00 AM
Queens
man who had been drinking at a pool hall slammed
his car into a tree on a highway service road early yesterday,
killing himself and seriously injuring four passengers,
police said.
Javier Diaz, 22, had persuaded a friend
and three waitresses to accept rides home from him from
the BQE
Bar and Billiards in Jackson Heights (bqebilliardsandbar.com)
even though he had been drinking for hours, friends said.
Yury Londono, 24, a gorgeous aspiring model, apparently
realized Diaz was drunk but agreed to get into his car
because the pool hall was so close to her home in East
Elmhurst.
"She knew he was drunk, but they kept saying, 'Don't
worry,'" said Andres Ceballos, a friend who visited
Londono in the hospital. "They were only two minutes
from [her] home."
Diaz, whose Florida driver's licence had been suspended
in the past, slammed the car into a tree on a service
road of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway just east of 25th
Ave.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at Elmhurst Hospital
Center a short time later, police said.
Cops found Londono crying and bleeding beside the wreckage
of Diaz's Honda Prelude about 4 a.m.
Diaz's friend Marcelo Nunez, 22, and another waitress,
Carla (Paola) Carrandi, 22, were also taken to Elmhurst,
where they were in critical condition.
Londono and a third waitress, Karla Sosa, 31, were in
stable condition.
Nicholas Katelas, co-owner of BQE Bar and Billiards,
praised the injured waitresses, saying they were "exceptionally
pretty and hard-working." |

It’s
a world of difference
I
watch pro’s shoot all the time, some of
my buds are pro’s. And I can see, when
one shoots or when one are shooting in general,
there mannerism's and a body language around
the table I do not have when I am shooting. I
don’t
mean the obvious movements, I mean, the subtle
ones. The ones the human eye can easily miss.
You jump up a lot more than you think. You change
up your quality of stroke when presented with
different kinds of shots or unfamiliar ones.
You don’t
finish your stroke or use the wrong one. Your
only real consistency is no consistency; or consistently
inconsistent. You seem insecure about your stance;
you are not paying attention to the right mechanics
required for the shot. Your thinking wanes. Your
thinking is suddenly in random thought mode,
you think you have ADD. Yapping out jokes in
the middle of your shot might be a defense mechanism
for the fear of missing an easy shot. The second
you settle and feel peace, in your stroke, your
train of thought goes astray. You have pain your
ignoring. You do all these things you would never
see a professional do, then you think, why didn’t
I notice this before? How long have I had these
habits? How long will I have these habits and
why do I have these habits? |

A
pool player went to a coach and said earnestly
"I
am devoted to studying the soldierly system of billiards.
How long will it take me to get good at it?" The
coach's reply was casual, "10 years." Impatiently,
the pool player answered, "But I want to get
good at it faster than that. I will practice very
hard. I will try to play everyday, ten or more hours
a day if I have to. How long will it take then?" The
coach thought for a moment, "20 years."

Smooth and jazzy strokes,
can really win something more
than what you’re aiming for.
The summer season winding down
with tiny sounds
as the trees start
to frown.
It is way to soon
for my team to go boom
in that big giant room
under that Las-Vegas moon.
I have come to some conclusions,
with out any confusion
about my illusion
relevant to my exclusion
for having players with little infusion.
I think I have created a test
for some of the rest
to see if they can quest,
far off to the west
and play with the best. |

I said
this before... "Some people
would rather be around sorts just to feel better about
them selves. I don’t
get pleasure from such a loathly indulgence"
Always in September,
mind starts running a marathon and physically
I am 60/40. Its not as bad as it sounds, cause there
has been lots of great things happening in my life
as well. More good than bad I think.
Cause
I’m
still eating what I want when I want, even with
a bad tooth. I hang out with-and hang all over beautiful
young women, with no complaints. At any given moment
I just might shave my beard off…again, buy new
shoes and maybe just maybe… get
a new camera. My throat hurts. Weather changing, and so
are my moods.... |

'kinda tacky...and unexpected'
|
The averages.
Did you know?
On a nine pool team, in the
BCA. A team of six, can hold a first or second
place spot all season, and on the last day of
that season, on the last match, on the last ball,
that final ball in the hole, can determine, whether
you keep your second place spot or drop down
to a whopping fifth place if you miss one ball
in the hole? Did you know that? Probably,
but you know what…. I didn’t.
I looked at this situation like
it was an APA final week match, like, we were
already locked in position and we can get pissed
drunk till we throw up and still wouldn’t
matter cause we surly were in the playoffs….
3…2…1….knock
out
We were still ahead of the other
team by 10 points at the ending of the match,
or so it said on the sheet.
My team, SoundFX, predominantly
keep a exalting, yet fluxuating-third/fourth
place spot almost all season, then finally kept
a dignified third place for a week or two, then
following second place in the final two weeks,
not bad for bunch of nubee's.
Almost for sure it looked like,
it was even stated before the last match was
done-while Helen and Danny were shooting, to
officially, hear along with an already recorded
placement spot on the internet, that we, team
SoundFX, almost for certain had a position for
a play off game. The other captain of the team
even began to break his cue, but did not, instead
deicide to finish his game like a professional
would. There was no sense of danger for my team
as Helen was still shooting, even after the first
game was won by the other team by 3 points, the
second game was won by the other team by 2 points
and the third game by the other team was won
by 1 point, and they lost on the hill in the
fourth.
12:30am…
The look on everybody’s
faces, when JL came out of the office after
doing the averages on the team placements in
my division. Who would of guessed a fifth place
team in the last week of the season only needed
6 points against a second place team ahead of
them by 10 points to get in the playoffs? We
lost by one bal in the hole.
But,
still, in a second place spot, in the final week
of the season, can my team, SFX, achieve in that
final match, and only ‘if’,
winning all four matches, can only get a maximized
28 points due to handicap comparisons of both
teams, we can only get 28 points cause all players
from both teams, were a bunch of D’s and
C’s. 22 points of 28 points kind of looked
like we held some kind of position for the playoffs,
no? Being just 6 points short of a perfect win… SFX,
still, got knocked down to fifth place, because
we missed that one final ball in the hole, I
am the captain of team SFX, I lost my match,
that one point lost is my fault. If I had known,
that the fifth place team we played only needed
to beat us by 6 points to get in the playoffs,
knocking out the second place team ahead by
10 points, maybe I would of done things differently.
I had know idea one can be defeated by the averages.
You cannot take for granted,
any game, even in the final, even if it seemingly
looks like it’s a sure thing-that you are
guaranteed in the playoffs. One game can change
your position from first to last in a single
shot; one, wow, and thought the APA tuff… |

'kinda tacky...but expected'
|
apple bites
|
Did you honestly think,
that this iPhone was going to stay at 600$
forever? |
How can you not
know, by now. The tactics of Apple Macintosh
product price sales? |
|
I love Apple. but I kinda of agree
with Mr Terrence
Russell, he writes...>
1. Lack of Tact
Most consumers are aware of how a product's life
cycle works--but let's face it, few want to
be openly reminded of it. It's a harsh reality,
but the fact of the matter is that businesses
essentially view consumers as people whose
passions, interests, and material needs can
be forecasted, quantified, and exploited for
maximum profit. It's not unfair that Apple
views its most loyal customers in the same
fashion, but it's incredibly tacky that the
company made that fact so palpable with its
price drop. Seeing the evolution of the iPod
is great, but it's not going to cause us to
forget the $200 price difference....more? |
The man: Steve Jobs |
Alrighty-so. I understand,
the iPhone price has dropped….yes. It
dropped from 600 dollars to an almost affordable
350 dollars, 300 in some places, only 65 days
of from its release and already Mac is doing
there common price dropping thingy again, and
already everyone can afford it. Now, I understand,
that the other phone companies, like Verizon,
Nextel and all the rest of the annoying evil
services are starting to lock people into there
contracts, like, for-forever, before they are
even up. If you are planning to leave your contract
phone service any time soon for this sexy device,
your termination fee will be a small fortune.
iPhone is going to take over the airwaves. |

Jim says. The game is

in the citiy finals...

Yeah-yeah-yeah’s
I have just been
informed, team GET IN THE HOLE is in the playoffs.
We were in 6th place most of the season, then,
(but not suddenly), had a burst of massive
win scores for the last 4 weeks of the season,
which put us in third place with 50 points.
If we had gotten our lost bonus points due
to having a money balance for a quarter of
the summer season we might have had 54 points,
then maybe we would have been home, maybe not,
oh whatever….Get in the hole is goOoOOOoD!
Yeah, so… I
spoke to some of peeps on the APA NY teams already
back from Vegas; APA summer 2007. Yeah, it was
the same-ole-song….
:(again, NY, ether over ranked, or, the rest
of the American APA players under ranked? You
make the call. One thing is for sure; NYC has
some of the best pool players in the world, living
here in the city, that is a fact. And quit possibly,
we-the NYC APA bar league association might have
one or two of those best worldly players playing
on the bar league, hm, maybe. I have been to
Vegas about three/four times already, one time
for the BCA, the others APA. I played in a few
of them, team and singles, observed a few. Yeah,
be prepared to play on a level, not-that-which
you are officially ranked by whichever association
you’re a ere a member of, instead, be on
your own kind of level, a level not of number
rating but of, hm? One must aspire, and then
believe one can approach the game they are about
to engage in with an-attitude and believe that
the person, whom which is your opponent, might
be slightly under ranked, maybe, then again,
how do you rate experience?
Level 3’s
running 10 balls, meaning, from break to 8 then
following the two more on the next break after
being already on the hill, wEeEeEeeE!
Level 4 players, whom at
random moments during there shooting on the
table suddenly turning into George-MeeyaaaAAaH!
Level 5 players
shoot’n
like 7’vns or even more nightmarish, level
2’s, following coaches given to them, exactly
as explained to them with no confusion or fear
of screwing it up on there part, I have given
up on the handicap system a long time ago.
Team Get In the Hole, in there last city finals
with 5 level 5 one 6 and a 7, yeah-yeah-yeah.

It’s been a few days. Lets see, my

been days and days and it’s killing me.
Hm, lets see what else. Oh yeah, I went to
watch some tri state pool open tournament,
at ABC. I should of played just to get in to
the mix with my pro pool players peeps and
such. It would have been more like donating
60 bucks but whom-ever, its all good. I still
don’t know if my Monday team is in the
playoffs, we succeeded 50 to a possible 54
points for the APA summer season ending, sweet.
My Thursday team is in second place at ABC,
sweet. My health is needing some exercise,
that for sure, I feel soft in all the wrong
places. Hm, what else? Oh yeah, I’m being

so forth. Times are changing with my over all

A few days ago for a few days, for some reason,
I was kind of snapping at people under my breath,
with out even thinking before I mumbled something
out of character, I caught myself right afterward
and wondered why the opaque attitude? Since
I have been disciplining myself on the pool table,
all kinds of shit inside of me are rising to
the surface. It is coming out in the form of
criticism. I worry about George. I worry about
a few of my friends and how thing are going for
them, and I worry about me, usually last on my
things of concern.
Wow the summer is almost done, even my nephew wondered
were it all went, and he is 15. I remember when
I was a kid, summer was a lifetime. Now, summer
is like, hm? Not enough time. |
