Chelsea captain John Terry explains his red card....and his nose grows six inches in the process.. #cheapshotartist
...while Chelsea deserve the win, John Terry once again showed his true colors...that was a cheap shot on the Barca player and nothing else. He thought he would get away with it because it was away from the ball. For Terry to say "I'm not that type of player" is a joke, because that is exactly the type of player he is.
Miracle at the Camp Nou! Not a Blues fan, but way to go Chelsea! #cfc #ucl

Technology has me by the throat... and other places.
I actually get nervous at the mere thought. I can't do without my phone for an hour, let alone a week, and I tell him to put my smashed phone back together and call me when the part arrives.
I also realized I have just about everything on my phone... and sitting at the store for 20 minutes with no phone was an eternity.
It was then that I knew technology has me by the short hairs. Sigh.

Photo Artists Use Filter "Normally Used by NASA" to Remove People From Crowded Urban Places | Popular Science
Columbus Circle, Deserted Lucie & Simon"Silent World," a photography project by Parisian artists Lucie & Simon, takes the most crowded parts of New York City, Paris, and Beijing, and alters them in a basic (but technically incredible difficult) way. We recognize Times Square, Columbus Circle, and more landmarks from our own hometown, but only barely--those usually people-clogged landmarks are now empty, totally bereft of the swarms of tourists and locals alike that give those areas their personality. Apparently the artist duo used a neutral filter "normally used by NASA for analyzing stars." The filter allows the photographers to take extra-long exposures, and then cut out any moving objects like people or cars. Check out video of the project below.
....watch the video... it is pretty cool

Gwyneth Paltrow injects herself with bee venom...it looks like she hits the botox hard, too.
...She says the bee venom makes her pain go away. Umm, yeah because her body is in pain because it got shot up with venom!!!....it's better than doping up on painkillers, I guess. But let's face it...she also named her child "Apple" which will require countless hours of therapy. Oh, and she named her other child Moses...

"Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself...." nice thought from the late "Dr. Love"
Patriots end the Bronco fantasy....thank the Lord
...
While I like a good Cinderella story, I (like most of America) was growing weary of the Tebow phenomenon...come on people, he's not a good quarterback. As much as hate to see Tom Brady win, it was a necessary evil (and those who hate Brady, deal with it....).
Maybe God did us a favor this time....
Man Utd 3 Bolton 0 | Paul Scholes...he scores goals!
...
I don't always like eating my words, but I don't mind this time. Paul Scholes got the ball rolling with yet another goal to add to his legendary career. This was after Wayne Rooney missed a penalty. I was among those that was skeptical of a Scholes return, especially after his rusty show in the City match...but he's Paul Scholes!

United hold on to knock City out...
Seeing the previously retired Scholes on was nice, but it shows how weak United are in the middle. And Scholes on the pitch looked like a guy who has retired. In all honesty, he gave away the ball cheaply which led to City's second goal.
The United of three years ago would have never let up and would have put up an eight-spot on City. Oh well, United have to improve in the midfield or the season may end up with nothing.

A rare admission from a sometimes pessimistic person....you know who you are!
Some backgound is in order....A very good friend lost a small dog recently. It happened on the coldest day of winter so far, followed by the coldest night of winter so far. After a full day search...nothing. Night came and went and no dog. It got to 18 degrees here in the Atlanta area and no small dog would have survived outside all night. Signs were put up and websites notified....nothing.
The next morning, my friend was down and not in an optimistic mood. In these situations, it's hard to know what to say that won't sound canned and trite....but I managed to get in the classic "it doesn't look good, but it is not hopeless." sigh...Emerson I am not. But I was sincere and really kind of felt that the dog had not suffered a tragic end.
This friend often says (I'm parapharsing) "I never have any luck and bad stuff seems to happen to me." This friend is a very thoughtful person but much too self-critical and, yes, pessimistic.
Well, that day, while I was still struggling to find words of comfort that meant something, a phone call came....someone had plucked the dog from the street and had taken her to their house. Everything was going to be okay. Friend and dog were reunited....all was well.
Well what did this friend say the next day? "I can't believe I got so lucky."
I suppose it's all a matter of perspective and circumstance. But I believe there lies in every person a spark of optimism that is only tempered by our natural fear of being disappointed. Being a pessimist at times is not a bad thing...we certainly cannot roll through life always thinking that everything will work out perfectly...as Laurance J. Peter once wrote..."The pessimist looks both ways before crossing the street."

An interesting quote.
These people have usually thought longer about the topic and say it so much more eloquently.... for example:
"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." ~Bob Moawad
Good stuff. Certainly there are times when we need to rely on someone; but the idea that your life doesn't begin until you realize your life is your own is very interesting.
