Trucking can be like a bad marriage...

Ok, this is the second time this has occured in less than 4 months...maybe 3...can't remember..
I've recieved two reciepts with totals of 7.77 on them...
So today when it occured, I took photo and date stamped it with newspaper...just for the record...

Now I have know idea what that means...I mean outside of Vegas, I'm not sure what good 777 does me...



But then there are those who claim that '7' is a holy number...
And I have been doing some praying lately...if ya want to call it that...

So, is it a sign from God? or just randomn coincidence, like at a Casino??

http://www.chacha.com/question/why-is-7-a-holy-number

I did a bit or research...Seven is held to high esteem by both Christians and Muslims...

But I keep getting 3 sevens in a row on reciepts....

I don't feel holy...that's for sure...or lucky....I feel enlightened on certain things...but certainly not holy....never...that's way beyond me...way out there....

Or is God using me for something that I don't know about??
Maybe it doesn't matter if I'm holy or not, as long as I do his mission?
But what is that mission?

Or again...is all of it just coincidence?

Well why can't I have that same coincidence at a Casino? or with the Lottery?

it does me know good to get it on a reciept, unless it's a form of communication....

I wish there were like wise men on this sight who could answer such questions...

Instead of corn dog eating, prejudice, homophobic types...
There of no use to me right now...

I need worldy wise men...men of the galaxy...men who's insights transcend time, space and cultures....

Do any such souls still exist?

 

I was watching a dm squirrel today....and I realize, that thing will have more sense than I'll ever have...

 

Hello....

Hope all is well...

Halloween on Monday...just doesn't seem right...oh well...

Anyways be safe tonight...

I'll chime in a bit later...as I'm not much in a writing mood right now...
At least nothing that would fit into the framework of this page....
back soon...

 

Tim, not that you'll ever read this...

But I'm worried about your well being in the NFL....

I kind of wish you had never gone the football route...and had just used your vast popularity in the ministry or some other manner to help inspire others....

No doubt you have heart and conviction...but that may or may not translate well onto the football field...

All the football field does is give others a chance to 'hurt' you...physically, through cheap shot hits....

The mind is always willing...but the flesh has it's limitations...

Just be careful out there Tim, on the field...you have enough going for you that football is just one option of many you have...

You could coach, give motivational speeches, become a mega church Pastor...
I just don't want to see the world steal your joy...slowly erode away at your spirit...

Please do be careful out there...

 

Yo Tim,

I garuntee you that Gods battle field is not on the football field between 3rd and 4th downs at the 25 yard line.

Don't get caught up in self grandor...you will get greatly side tracked if you do...and in years to come, you won't recognize yourself anymore.

I'm just saying be careful....

I sorta do care...cause I remember you from Florida University...and what you did for that program...for that whole region.

When you were still a common kid walking around campus with books...in a rush to get to class cause you might be late...

And I'll never forget when I got passed by your or the teams bus caravan, while you all were headed to play in Jacksonville, FL...on a Saturday...wow...talk about impessive...

I don't even think the President rolls like that, with all those odd looking police cars and escorts...

But I can see how all that can go to your head....

Alot of us feel like we know you...and just don't want to see you get humiliated infront of millions...

Easy with the 'Jesus' stuff...
It's cool to believe...but I think if Jesus had a choice to be with you on a recreational football field, or a Marine fighting for his life in Afganistan...well....

There's plenty of 'Jesus' to go around for everyone...but lets be careful how and when we promote his name, as to not humiliate him as well, and further marginalize peoples belief in God or Jesus...

Let's not turn Jesus into a kind of cartoon figure, wind up puppet doll type of deal...

Anyhow...be vigilant in Oakland next week...there fans are like no other...



and i have a feeling someone, or some people are setting you up for a big fall...be very very careful out there...later...

 

Hello...it's been 4 long days since I last chimned in...
It's Fall now...that's for sure...
When I was much younger, a kid, and where I was raised...it was always fun to walk home at night in the fresh, cold, brisk, clean, crisp, autumn night....

Unfortunatly where I stay now...going into any park at night could be hazardous to your health...

But yes...Fall is definatly here...a changing of seasons, and moods.

When I was younger, living in a rural, much more safer (Eastern WA State) enviornment...it was always fun to put on the jacket and just walk at night...to just observe the scenescape...to ponder, to wonder, to let the different light reflections alter your mood.
The world seemed so big back then...so full of possibilities...

What happened?

Ladies and gentlemen...it is my job to make you think, to offer you something different here...to take you away from your truck, or whatever else mundane job you may have...

Maybe some day my writings will be like Shakespeare...who knows...it's all relative...

I just know we all need escape...and I try to offer that to you here...sure...I could write about truck stuff...but by now most of us understand what that realm is about....

I've been out of that thing for a few weeks now...and to step back inside of those cramped quarters just seems so arcadic to me right now...so disruptive...

I don't think this way of life is meant for all...and I've explained that in the past...interpit as you see fit...but I don't think you wait trillions of years to be born, just to spend your time being a wage earner...a low wage earner....

Or to spend your time under a dictator, or a slave building pyrimads...or picking cotton all your life...

The wealthy really have it well...they never have to experience such useless mundaness...nor could they handle it...



This is what wealth can buy...what can being broke get ya?

Can a Wal-Mart employee ever hope to obtain such toys anymore by working 35 hours a week at $9.00 an hour?

9 x 35 = 315 a week

315 x 4 = 1260

1260 x 12 = $15,120 a year...before taxes...

The above Bell helicopter costs around 4.5 million.....

4.500,000 / 14,000 = 321 years of salary....

The Wal-Mart employee would have to save all their salary for 321 years to afford such a luxury....and you call that balanced?
You call that hope?

When Oil executives, Wall Street cronnies get that in a bonus every quarter.....

No wonder so many regular working class people are depressed these days...

How can 9 dollar an hour workers compete with paper traders, money manipulators....
And if they were so good, why don't they ever help people stay in their homes?

Someone who recieves 20 million xmas bonus...can't help 20 families stay in their homes?

Anyways...just something to think about...didn't mean to drift like this...just happened...

 

40,000 plus views...wow....never thought the day would come...

And maybe there's a lesson to be learned here...that dreams or goals don't happen over night...rather for some it's a slow deliberate path of endurance...

No one...no one...in the beggening ever thought this thread would still be relevant...
What does that say about others...their fortitued?

They all doubted...faded away...but who's still here?....

Anyways...cool...I think this thread is becoming bigger than even me...self generating interest on it's own...cool...at least my stuff will be read...maybe used in essays...

On a whole different tip...it's NFL Sunday...



I can't believe the Broncos are actually tied with the Raiders..24-24...after trailing by 10...what a game...Tebow is really rising up to the occasion...if he wins this game...he will have won over a whole other legion of fans...

To win in the 'black hole' for his first time playing there...wow...but it's not over yet...

And what about San Francisco...7-1...are the glory days coming back for that team?
Remember how good they use to be...in the 90's the 49's were 'untouchable'...they were like 'Sinatra' of football teams...they were just that good...

Miami won it's first game...Dallas also won...
Green Bay won...but not really a Green Bay fan...or Erin Rogers fan...I know Bretts mad that the kid is stealing all his former glory there...

Who would of ever though Erin Rogers would take off like this..is Erin Rogers the next Brady Quinn?...only time will tell...if they win this year...then he can start boasting...

And the Colts are still winless...of how depressing for that region...was Manning the only ingrediant that made that team any good...wow...

Anyhow...40,000...cool....don't give up on yourself or dreams...just like I haven't given up on this thread...I try to lead by example...

Even when I fail...I still come back...

 

Again...as I look at similuar threads below...all the interesting threads are in the 'ladies room' section...not sure if guys are allowed there...

All there issues are the issues that excite me...

I so want to comment on their issues...their glam issues...glitter and glam...



Women talk about all the interesting hot issues...relationship issues and stuff...their not afraid to be honest...

where as most males on here are constrained by their own shallowness...

'Oha..duh...meat and potatoes...oh ye...me driver...me macho...me traditional...'

Boreing...boreing....

The women are more exciting...I could have a slumber party with them...they would love me...

We would laugh, remaniss, maybe even go shopping...



Some of these men on here better get with it...and quit acting like primitave pre dawn cavemen...



You'll find yourself sleeping alone more and more...

Better get with the times and quit acting so barbaric...

Or you may loose your woman to a modern metrosexual...who's versitile in style and personas....

Anyways...back soon...

 

Monday!....

Like a bulldozer pushing you along....



Time pushes you along...it doesn't stop...sometimes ya wanna say 'Time out!'....but it doesn't stop...just keeps moving...

Forcing deadlines, confrontations, decisions, bills....

Money is god...why?
Cause the only meaning in life anymore is money and profit...

That's all most wake up for...money and profit...
Your forced too....

Oh well...good day...

 

hi...

I purchased like a Pride Fighting Championship...the early years DVD set from a truck stop months ago...and really just got around to watching it...and now I'm addicted...



yes, I'm addicted to this stuff now...
And it might be what helps pull me out of my physical slump...

No...not that I'd ever compete...but it is fun to watch, and mimic moves, learn
from the moves...it's like studying...and seeing all these fighters in such excellent shape kind of makes me want to start getting back in shape....

Sports, competition, is a great motivator for staying in shape...

Long ago...I use to always lift weights...believe it or not I was addicted to weight lifting...couldn't go more than two days without weights...boy how I've changed...

Cause although I felt my body was fit, I felt my mind was weak....

So then I did a reverse...I allowed my body to become weak, but worked on the mind instead...kind of like women...

Don't let women decieve you...they are very strong on the inside...and I see that...and that's why they don't like me...

Because you have to 'become' in order to understand....

(that last statement is so above most of you, so never mind, your primitive minds will interpit it in a meat and potatoes way...never mind)...

But for geniouses...fighters...skilled intellectual as well as physical fighters...they'll know what I mean...

Everything is a art...

Everything is fluid...the fluid survive...the rigid break and shatter...

Again...why am I wasting such thought here...

Anyways...

I may find a gym in this area, and begin training...boxing that is...

I really do need a dicipline to help me out right now...accountability...competition...

And boxing would be a great motivator...it would force me to 'shape up'...or get crushed in the ring...


Just friendly sparing...

And by the way I just heard Joe Frazier past away tonight...
What a fighter in his day...or even by todays standards...
The dude just never stopped in the ring...he was always in attack mode,
always moved forward...
RIP Joe Frazier...
