I’m a Gator!!

Gators rally to win SEC title — South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

If the sound of the current typically comes before the actual crash of the waves, the Florida Gators couldn’t help but hear it all week.

How the stakes of a national championship semifinal would create a fourth-quarter classic instead of another Gators blowout. How playing Alabama wasn’t simply about stats or execution but about who could impose their will in the most physical nature. How special players always prevail.

That’s when wide receiver Carl Moore got a feeling about his quarterback.

“I knew [ Tim Tebow] was going to step up big time, I just knew it,” said Moore, who caught the first touchdown pass of Florida’s 31-20 win over Alabama. “Everyone in our locker room knew that he was going to win this for us at the end of the game.”

O.J. Simpson was convicted and sentenced to 15 years. This is the saddest brother in the whole world. This  man got away with the crime of the century as it has been called and he ends up screwing it all up in Lucky 13 years. How funny is that?

I saw the family of Ronald Goldman, the boyfriend O.J. killed with his wife Nicole, on the news boasting about how they had hounded him into this. Seems a recent book deal he had set that they were able to shutdown was the last straw and financially he was done.

He orchestrated a robbery that he claimed was an attempt to recover his own personal effects and the people he brought along had guns and held a sports dealer in a hotel room in Vegas. The judge cut him some slack and could have easily sentenced him to much more. He faces a maximum of 33 years and is eligible for parole in 9.

O.J. spent a fortune to hire  the dream team of lawyers who were able to manipulate evidence and the jury into an acquittal on a case with DNA evidence. I might start writign to him in jail because I just have to hear what happened and how he didn’t see he was being setup.

Simpson’s conviction came October 3, the 13th anniversary of his controversial acquittal in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman.

The Revolution Will Not Be Organized

The revolution will not be organized,
the revolution will not be organized.com,
the revolution will not be Yahoo Grouped, Meetuped,
downloaded, uploaded, QWERTY’d, or blogged.

The revolution will not be handled by webmasters,
think-tankers, authors of policy position papers,
authors of anti-policy position papers,
secretaries, executives, executive assistants,
insiders, whistle-blowers, informants, counter-informants,
committees or sub-committees.

Your neighbor with excellent leadership qualities
will not lead you into, through, or out of the revolution.
The revolution will not be inspired, instigated, managed
or controlled by him, her, or them.
The revolution will not be organized.

No matter if you eat at McDonald’s and can barely walk,
no matter if you drive an S.U.V. and rarely walk,
no matter if you were public school indoctrinated,
vaccinated, humiliated, ostracized, terrorized, minimized,
no matter if you live in a house owned by BofA,
no matter if you eat cat food, dog food,
Puppy Chow for your inner child,
no matter if you shop at Salvation Army, Saks, TJ Maxx,
when the Cold Hand of Power touches you,
it touches revolution.

They will come to chip you, rape you,
tell you you are theirs, imprison you in FEMA camps
because you spoke out,
because you doubted the official story,
because you looked with your own eyes,
spoke from your own heart.
They will come for you in black uniforms, black helmets,
swinging black batons, symbols of the New Authority,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

You will say no — not because Charlie Sheen
inspired you one night on FOX News
to look more closely at falling towers.
You will say no — not because Alex Jones
led you through the darkness with a bullhorn.
You will say no — not because Howard Zinn
handed you the Book of Truth on a silver platter.
You will say no because you are your own
star of truth shining the way.

At your unique hour, in the dark,
beneath a burning paper currency moon,
the Cold Hand of Power will touch you and revolt you.

At your unique hour,
when they come for you because you asked questions,
because you did not lower your eyes,
because you did not bow down,
at your unique hour,
in your unique circumstance,
you will find yourself in the grip of a courage
you have not known but which you are.
You will stand in front of black helmets with invisible faces,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

Daughters and sons of revolutionaries,
blood burning for freedom,
eyes set toward tomorrow,
each of you alone in the darkness,
beneath tender constellations burning gold and silver,
each of you will remember the path to take
when the Cold Hand of Power comes for you,
each of you will make your way without direction or encouragement,
as those before you made their way without direction or encouragement,
forging history, embracing destiny.

You will not march in file.
You will not march.
The revolution will not be organized.

In your darkest hour,
beneath the burning moon,
you will pledge allegiance to the truth,
as those before you pledged allegiance to the truth.

The truth cannot be organized.

Here is an excellent article on the importance of bicycles. I’m not riding as much as I would like but I do have my bikes here in Jamaica. I should be taking in some world class mountain biking and instead I’m dragging a trailer with the kids around the beach and West End Negril.

I’m having fun withe the family and the bikes but I’m feeling the need to hit the trails soon. I’m going to start riding more often as soon as things cool off a bit. It’s so hot here in Jamaica that I melted three pairs of shoes into junk last month. I’ll post a pic of that next.

AS A LIFESAVER
Health care workers in Senegal, Namibia, and other African nations usually walk miles over dusty roads to deliver food, medicine, and companionship to people with HIV/AIDS. But with the donation of 1,500 single-speed bicycles by BikeTown Africa, caregivers now visit as many as six times more people in need. The program, a partnership between Bicycling magazine, Kona Bicycle Company, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, has a broad mission: Says Steve Madden, editor-in-chief of Bicycling, “One bike at a time, we can solve big problems and change the world.”

Why use Bigfoot as an internet hoax? Don’t we have enough jokes and scams on the internet?

I hope they catch the crook and he is 8 foot tall, hairy as a henderson and smells like a skunk!

Jedi is the faith followed by some of the central characters in the “Star Wars” films. In the 2001 United Kingdom census, 390,000 people — 0.7 percent of the population — listed Jedi as their religion.

No better place to be at 4:20 then my “likkle garden”

Alfie Loves You but he loves his herb even more.

The vine hangs from a very large tree in these huge swaths of brilliant color that are simply stunning. I want one of these in my garden some day but I doubt I’ll have one. Seems like it’s an old plant with lots of years of growth to attain such long lengths.
