First, I want to announce that I now have an official follower on my blog!  As Bon Scott of AC/DC once said, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” (Say it in a drunken Australian accent.)

Next, I wanted to address my sports picks from my previous blog.  Let’s just say that I was smart not to bet real money.   

1.   Duke is out of the final four.  Oh well, I only picked them because “Duke” is a cool name.   

2.  My tennis team, “The Gall” couldn’t even beat a team from a home owner’s association, oh wait, that was the only team we beat.  But my partner and I created quite a stir on the court.  (My “doubles” partner.  Get your mind out of the gutter.) With gale force winds and temperatures below freezing, we took our final set to a tie break. Everyone was at the fence watching.  It was a nail biter with lots of screeching and hollering.  But we ultimately succumbed to defeat.  (Bad team photo on my Facebook page.) 

3.  After NASCAR, I think I will stick to something I know, horse racing.  The Kentucky Derby! 

4.  Sorry golf fans, I just can’t hang.

If that saying rings a bell and you are a Monty Python fan to the nth degree, check out http://pythonline.com.  It’s great.  They even have a link to the Ministry of Silly Walks!  

For More Interesting Random Stuff:

I have now become a campaign manager for someone running for city council of a small town.  Fortunately, she has no opponent.  Sheeeewwwww.

More interesting, Everett Newton, the Rock and Roll Attorney, and his band, Little Morphine Annie have now been selected to provide sound track music for a horror film.   There will be a screening with the band to play a 20 minute set at the Studio Movie Grill in Addison, TX on June 18th at 7:00 pm.  It will be horrific!!!!

Last, if you are looking for some trigger words for 2009, here you go:  

Transparency (who are you kidding??)

Anti-Terror (uhhh?  Couldn’t we just use the word “nice?”)

Conficker  (If you know what this means, that may not be good)

Carpe Diem!

FIRST:

For the first time ever in my life, I am going to pick my prediction for the Final Four.   This is a result of too many hours on the gym treadmill watching ESPN with no sound.  Please forgive my lack of lingo knowledge.  Here it goes:

Midwest: Michigan State

West: Missouri

East: Duke

South: North Carolina (this being my long shot)

To win it all:    . . . . . .  . DUKE!

SECOND:

8 Game Pro Set describes the tennis matches I will be playing on Saturday (not exciting to millions).  I have no prediction whatsoever since this is the first time my teammates and I will play a tournament.  It is a ladies only doubles match up between three teams.  Unfortunately, we do not have matching outfits, but I think we will do well.  Our team name is “The Gall,” coming from our coach, so we don’t have a clue what it means.  We also are not familiar with a 7 point Coman tiebreak that we apparently have to play.  Weeeeee.  I predict we are scruffy enough to come out on top, or at least in the middle!

THIRD:

NASCAR!  As I have written in the past, this is the number 1 spectator sport in America. Although NASCAR officials are whining about cash flow, they are still filling up the stands.  I doubt that April 5th at the Texas Motor Speedway will be any different.  I know my brothers will be contributing to the economic success of NASCAR.  The one and only time I attended this race with my family, it poured like cats and dogs.  The only car I saw on the track was a pace car going 20 mph to confirm it was raining.  So, not having a lot of knowledge about NASCAR, here is my prediction:

CARL EDWARDS will win it all. 

*These predictions are solely based on guessing.  

Keep in touch and let me know what YOU think sports fans!
