Happy Holidays!

Hi Everyone! Hope that you have had a good holiday season with your and your loved ones. I can't believe that is the end of the year already! It has been a whirlwind.

I think that I may do some reflective posts later next week as we get closer to New Year's Day. Right now I just want to wish everyone well and hope that the people I call friends and family are doing the best that they can.

I know it is hard times in the United States right now. We, as a country, are starting to pay the price for living on credit so long. So I hope that everyone can buckle down as we tread through the tough times.

I hope that everyone takes care and strives for the best.

33!

Ok, I wanted to write something about this a little earlier in the week. But I finally am getting around to it here on Saturday. Did you catch Melo's 33 point quarter last Wednesday? Holy cow Batman, talk about someone being on fire.. en fuego.. the basket is an ocean. Whatever you want to call, Melo had it for that quarter.

People give Melo alot of grief, and to be honest he deserves some grief. But he has been improving every year. And this year, maybe.. just maybe he is taking his overall game to the next level.

You have to give Melo credit though, he plays hard. Sometimes he just didn't play smart. I think he is doing that more and more now. And it is fun to watch. The trade for Chauncey helped too. Alright, well I wanted to at least acknowledge that effort. Fun thing about watching sports, you never know what you are going to see on any given night.

And another one down...

Well the good news, the Broncos finally won a home game. So they are 8-5 this year. As usual, the NFL is crazy. At the beginning of the season, I would have thought there would be no chance for the Broncos to have an 8-5 record, when losing to Oakland and Kansas City. and Jacksonville too. Even though the Jaguars where supposed to be better.

The bad news... another running back is in the mash unit. Peyton Hillis is out for season. That is like our 7th string running back or something. Hope that Tatum Bell has some magic left in his legs. Or maybe the Pope guy will be good. Just need to get us 3 yards.

Ok.. that is it for a Monday... catch ya on the flipside.

holiday season is on

My baby doll set up the Christmas tree yesterday, so the holiday season is on. Our holiday season is going to be mellow. Cause we got to work, ya know. And actually I am thankful for the work. Tough times are coming, everyone is buckling down to weather the storm.

I feel for all those people who have their dreams on the line right now in this struggling economy. I hope you all make the right decisions. The vultures are going to be out there. That is what always happen in tough times. People try to take advantage of the situations and of the fear.

So this holiday season, I am extra thankful. Thankful that is my first Christmas being married, thankful for our families, thankful that we are healthy, thankful that we are working, thankful that we live in a great place.

Remember to be thankful out there!

Static is back!

So today a little comic book called Terror Titans #3 is for sale. I won't even read it until next month, because I get my books monthly.

But I have to say that I am interested in this issue, because it sees the return of Static of Milestone fame to the world of print. They are being rolled into the DC Universe (which is the world of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.).

It won't be the same as the world of Dakota, but I really did like these characters back in the 1990's. That is when Milestone Comics was alive and kickin'. There is a lot of back story to all of this, because Milestone got a lot of press for being a multi-racial company that pushed multi-racial and other boundaries.

But I read the books because they were great. They ended up being the comics I looked forward to each and every month. And now I have something to look forward to next month.

Pretty cool...

Oh and the Nuggets play the Spurs tonight.. go Nuggs...
