2:48 pm Saturday 2008 at home. Yeah I know. I’m slow on the updates again. Been kind of busy doing things, living life, mostly, sitting back and regrouping, my, self; I guess. The summer is almost over, and I have yet still to do so many things I want to get going on need to get done. It’s all-good. My knee is killing me though, along with my back and my body. I think with time, I am starting to notice, when changes happen, whether it is you or the people around you, the foundation of all, is still the same if you look deep enough, if you still remember enough, I guess this is what web-log entries are for, to help you remember, to remind you were you came from; and were you came from is from a lot of different times, allot of different moments, all with the same foundation. |

I know it was a short time ago (last Thursday), but I was so hammerd on wine, I must of been on some kind of auto pilot person-character. I can vaguely recall, Helen always on the nine, Caroline showed up; I thought she was lost or something. there was a doubles match going on, the girls were winning, Eddies laughing, alot, I played; I think, and everybody was really happy to be at ABC till 3 in the morning becuse it was two for the price of one drink specail Thursday night starting at 10pm. All Summer baby-MEeeEeEYaaAAaAaaH!!!! |

About the Jim Murnak Women's Open ...
|
|
|
Last weekend , Comet Billiards, hosted the Women’s Open Predator 9-ball Event sponsored by Jim Murnak Cue Cases. The event brought in WPBA pros Liz Ford, Meghan Minerich and Caroline Pao. Iris Ranola, who has been cleaning up the regional events attended, along with recent Tri-State Invitational runner up Gail Glazebrook and the always deadly Emily Duddy arrived with Asia, who recently won the JPNEWT qualifier spot.
|
Jim Murnak Cue Cases
The draw brought a very difficult 1st round match for Iris Ranola and Meghan Minerich. After moving here in February from the Philippines, Iris is a recent powerhouse edition to the northeast women’s events, winning many of the region’s qualifiers this year. Meghan Minerich, sponsored by Gallery Billiards, has been on the pro circuit for a number of years now. The ladies traded racks back and forth until a costly 8-ball miss proved deadly for Minerich and allowed Ranola to pull ahead and close the match 7-5, sending Minerich to the one-loss side much earlier than expected. |
Liz Ford was playing very strong pool this weekend. After a 7-0 win over Glazebrook, she continued her dominance on the winner’s side until she met with Caroline Pao in the quarter finals. Pao started the day with a nail-biter in the first round as Olga Gashkova fought tooth and nail against the WPBA pro, but a 6-ball miss in rack 13 allowed Pao to squeeze out the win 7-6. After that Pao blazed through the winner’s side to meet up with Ford. This was a great match as both players were equaling hungry for the win. At hill-hill it was still a coin toss as to who was going to take the match. Pao proved victorious as she clenched the win 7-6. |
|
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
-~Winston Churchill |
|
The day was long and draining and so in the late hours of the event, both Ranola and Ford decided to crown the other as champion of the event, so the first Predator Women’s Open 9-ball Event crowned Iris Ranola and Liz Forst co-champions of the tournament. Congratulations to both ladies for a great tournament and thank you again Jim Murnak for sponsoring the event.

“In the third stage of adult-hood, intelligent attention has to be paid not only to one's own advancement and the advancement of the family and society but also to the advancement of the people generally. That too is the responsibility of the grown-ups and they must acquire the skills necessary. They must have wider visions of the peace and prosperity of all mankind, and try to contribute to both, within the limits of their capacity and resources; 'a little fun cant hurt as well' ” ~Sri Sathya Sai Baba/WF, quotes |

BLACK WOLF DREAM. On 7-10-08
There were two clans, living in my home; my home, wow, a giant palace of huge rooms and endless corridors with a ceiling higher then the eye can see. The two wolf clans, first one, black-fur, young and inocent, whom which all bonded with me quickly, and the other, black fur as well but more like shadows, and much older. |
|
From the older clan, there were two leaders, each standing, on their hind legs, like a man, they just stared at me from a far. As the other younger clan gathered around me in joy of our friendship, the older clan had my respect because of it.
As I went about in my gigantic home with the younger clan and getting to know them, the older clan watches us from a distance, from within the shadowed corners of my home. My home felt like a giant forest, except instead of trees, large doorways and long hallways, vas and huge was its clustered bushes and leaves; you couldn’t even see the ceiling things were so tall.
My brother was in the dream. Dreams jump from one moment to the next without notice of time. In my dream, my brother did something to the wolves, something I did not like.
He took both clans and he put them else were and said to me after I ask him were are the wolves. “These wolves do not belong here”, I told him “when I bring them back, they will judge you”. He told me were they were and I went to go get them.
I found them, (the wolves) and when I brought them back to my home, but instead of my brother being in my home, there were other people in his place, I do not remember who these people were, but wolves were gathering to judge these people, then I woke up, I woke up feeling immersed and left wanting to know what was meaning of my dream and what am I not seeing in my wake.

BEAR. On 7-12-08
A few days later after my wolf dream, I had another dream about a bear, a large bear, this dream was not like the wolf dream, this dream was more like, a collage of moving images, choppy, chaotic. I can barely remember what went on, things in it were more of images jumping in front of each other, almost like looking out the window of a fast moving train, with sounds not in sync with what I was trying see clearly. I remember, flashing images, rain, people, the sound of an 8ball break, distortion, it was happening around the bear, but the bear was huge and in control. That is all I can remember of the dream, I woke up one minute before my alarm went off, still, I did wake up with feeling like I new the answer, but had no idea what the question was. |

"There is a gap, between the equalizer handicap system, and what really happens out in the human playing field.
(That gap, is an open field, filled with emotions; excitment, danger, jealousy, envy, anger, uncertainty, lies, opportunity, ignorance, intelligence, happiness, sadness’ desire and so much more, to hide and expose the simple truth of one true purpose, motive and skill).
My intention as a captain is to narrow that gap, with truth, honor and true performance from myself and team mates" |

The book I write...
Almost voyeurism, slightly narcissistic, very crafty-is-tick. Paintings, drawings, pool, billiards Summer time and Pia’s occasional vanilla sky.
Samurai’s swords and cue sticks galore. I usually just stand in one spot and just shoot hardcore. I am not perpetuating my story, it is happening around me and my camera has made me lazy, my blog for 2008 is kind of crazy. Stranger than fiction with no jurisdiction over my eyelid’s endless friction.
Ineffectuality is my worst enemy and my greatest asset. I’m madly in love with a woman named Ana Pascal.
The volume has been turn down around me and raised in my dreams. Nothing is new to me, if I new less I would know more, if I let go and not try I would win more.
At this point in my life, if there was a meaning for it, it would be the road ahead, which is so long. I’m drinking but it’s to numb, which makes it dumb when it’s not rum in July. I'm just moving along, day to day with no objective except for the immediate.
Im gonna make an omelette now; becuase I can. |

Friday Independence |
|
| I woke up, I was hung over. So I made a cup of coffee for myself, then I drank water, then I got on my computer and did stuff. For lunch I ate hot dogs pork and beans with a side of apple sauce; thanks mom. I watched cable as it rained outside. I heard the explosion of the fire works at about 9:30pm-muffled through the rain and mist. After flipping through channels and looking out the window I got back on my computer and did more catch up stuff; need to catch up. I checked my cell for text messages and I got a bunch, some good, some bad, some silly, so I replied to a bunch. I was annoyed the second I woke up so I was annoyed most of day, so I stayed home as to not inflict my irritated self on other people with gloomy behavior and frowned eye brows. I thought to catch up on a few chores so I did. I thought of my independence today and so I exercised it today. My independence drives my a sense of liberation from my daily dealing of life. Happy independence day. |

The original version goes back to the 50's. But according to the internet, the gypsy kings seems to have hogged up the glory and history of the song ...

Porque muy depreciado,
Por eso no te perdon de llorar
Este amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa,
Amor de comprementa
Amor del mes pasado
Bebele, bembele, bembele

Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
No tiene pardon de dios
Tu eres mi vida, la fortuna del destino
Pero el destino tendressa para dos
Lo mismo yo que ayer
Lo mismo soy yo
No te encuentro a labandon
Es imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un dia no cuentro si de nada
Lo mismo you que ayer
Yo pienso en ti |
