Tim Tebow - a shining example of how its done!

He did it again, his third come back victory in a month, the forth in his eight professional starts, this time against the supposedly great New York Jets Defense. The numbers to that point were horrendous. But that didn't matter, this is when he's at his best, late, with the game on the line. Tim Tebow engineered a 12 play 95 yard drive when it counted to win the game. Its what winners do.

They brought the house. They blitzed everyone.
AND HE RAN AROUND THEM!!!


During the post game press conference he first thanked Jesus. I can take it or leave it, but unlike so many other people, he never pushes his faith on anyone else, simply states that's what he believes, where he draws his strength. That I can get behind. How is it any different from any other way folks out there gain confidence? At least this is in a positive light.

Then he went on giving credit for the win to every other guy on the team, everyone but himself.


Last week I had to watch a disgusting ten minute diatribe by Bill Maher, making a real ass of himself, attacking Tebow. And why? Because he's a Christian, a man of faith.

"Fearing not I become my enemy in the instant that I preach"

So people can't push their beliefs or way of life down your throat, they can't tell you how you should live your life. But you can do it to them at every pass? Tim Tebow didn't do that, you did Bill Maher, way to go pal!

Whether its the Jesus thing or his ability on the field, there are a lot of detractors, quick to jump all over him. And why? Because he has character? Because he does everything right, the way that we're all supposed to do it?


Back in 2008 while at the University of Florida, following a loss, Tebow addressed the media and gave the above speech. He spoke the words with all the heart and emotion with which he does everything. And he put all the weight on his own shoulders. He promised to be better, to make everyone around him better. Who does that anymore? No one does. Well.... Tim Tebow does.

You will never see anyone play harder. You will never see anyone push more. This is what a leader does. They lead by example.

In a world where all we seem to care about is the pomp and circumstance, the flash without the substance, Tebow's stats never look pretty. Maybe that's why everyone hates him so much. Because its not a beauty contest, because he rolls up his sleeves and gets dirty. Because all he cares about is getting it done.

But for all of the ways his critics want to bash him, for everything they say that he can't do, they never speak of the things he CAN do, the quality of his character, the intangibles you just can't teach.

His entire Offense loves him.
His entire Defense loves him.
His entire Team loves him.
They make plays for him.
They kill themselves for him.
And you can see it in every action they take for him, whether its play on the field or hugs on the sidelines.
They do it because he kills himself for them first.

That's his girlfriend, or so the internet says

Tim Tebow makes everyone around him better. That's the one thing no one can ever touch. And he does it without credit, and without shirking responsibility. He puts the entire load on himself, takes all of the blame, but never the glory. That he leaves for his teammates. And for God.

Tim Tebow is a winner. Pure and simple.
He's a leader, the way all leaders should be.
He's a hero, and example for us all, an ideal to live up to.

And we need as many people like him as we can get right now, don't we?


My only hope is that he never lets us down like so many of our fallen stars. That, much like God rewards him for his faith, that Tim Tebow rewards me for my faith in him.

"We are what we continually do. Excellence, therefore, is a habit" - Aristotle

A Leader. A Hero. A Promise.
You will never see anyone play harder.
You will never see anyone push harder.


And for no other reason than I think this is an incredible picture of a beautiful woman. And I enjoy looking at it.

Later People!

Women can kick ass and still be SEXY!

There were too many damn pictures. I have to go through them all to pick out the right shots, and I hadn't realized how many I had taken. Without doing it, there was just no way I could do the story justice, and there wasn't enough time. So once again I had to switch gears today, go with something different.

I caught Green Lantern last night, a completely forgettable movie that I just couldn't get into, uninteresting. I saw what they were trying to do with most of the flik, they just didn't pull it off at any pass.


The one thing that kept hitting me the whole time that I watched the film though is that it never hit me how beautiful Blake Lively is. Sure, she's on all the hottest celebrity lists, but what the hell does that mean? There's a certain quality about her that just draws your eye to her.


With all the talk everywhere about raping 10 year old boys at Penn State, this really was a much needed, very welcomed change. This pic here is Lively with Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl fame.


Before you start to think that today's post is just a sex show I'm putting on to throw up pictures of women again, there was a progression this morning from one lady to the next that formulated what I wanted to say, so bear with me here. And remember this picture. Lively led me to Meester, who led me to.....


Minka Kelly (Derek Jeter you dirty dog you!). If you look at these last two shots you can see both women are in the same exact pose, same exact shot, underscoring the unoriginality out there, but also befitting the situation. Meester and Kelly starred together in The Roommate, a trash rip off of another trash film Single White Female. At least this time around the chicks are hotter, but that's not enough. Just like the equally trash reboot of Charlie's Angels, cancelled after 3 episodes, all of this crap is so bad even Kelly's looks can't save it. Proving looks aren't everything.... not even in porn!


Don't ask me how, but somehow Kelly led me to Danielle Lloyd here, and ultimately my point for today's post. Look how sexy she is lying there on the floor like that, right?


That right there is Danielle Lloyd lying on the floor also, covered in blood. Not nearly as sexy this time, is it? Someone attacked her in the streets and left her there a mess like that.


Here she is again, looking as sexy as anything, right? What's not to like, everyone would want some of that. I'm an old fashioned kind of guy, someone who thinks that a man should stand up for women when they deserve it. But many women out there just don't understand what a nasty, nasty world it is out there. Not until this happens.....


And not until it happens to them specifically. We all do that though, don't we? "Not me!"

Sure enough, this morning a court dismissed the case of a 46 year old many stalking 19 year old actress Selena Gomez. I chose not to put any photos of her up because, much like a Penn State Football Coach's favorite play thing, they all look like a 10 year old kid. That's just bad news, potentially devastating news for Gomez, who has a restraining order against the dirty old man.


And that made Gina Carano pop into my mind. In case you don't know, she once ran roughshod through the ranks of Women's MMA before she finally ran into a buzzsaw and got her head handed to her herself.


That's Carano again right here for Maxim. The thought that struck me that so many people refuse to see is that, even in this day and age, women really need to learn how to protect themselves. We all do really, people, there's some real scum out there, and the day that it IS you that it happens to, well, you better know what to do before its you ending up a bloody mess.


Carano then led me to Sarah Ponce here, another MMA fighter. Look how beautiful she is. There's a common misperception that if a woman is athletic or able to defend herself that she has to be some kind of manish brute, a butch, or a lesbian.


But how can anyone look at these pictures and still hold that ideal in their minds? These women are professional fighters, paid to beat the hell out of one another, but that doesn't mean they can't be sexy too. The two aren't mutually exclusive.


If you think she looks bad, you should see the other guy. This here is Elena Reid raising her arms in victory, and it perfectly illustrates my point, because this sexy beast down below is Reid also...


She cleans up pretty good, huh? Damn, I don't about you, but I'd sign up for that in a second. Gorgeous.

The other day I had a conversation about much of this, and somewhere in there I said that Gym class in schools should be replaced with Martial Arts training from the 1st grade through High School Graduation.


Michelle Waterson is a kickboxer. Looks to me that Martial Arts training did her well. But the inclusion of this sort of training in schools would go a long way to solving many of our problems. For one, we have an epidemic of overweight, out of shape people in our society. To a large degree there's a general lack of respect in this country, both for ourselves, and ever more frequently, for the people around us. As a people, we have no discipline. SO many of our troubles come purely from the fact that we can't control ourselves....


And then of course is that violence out there, and there's a lot of it. You're kidding yourself if you think there isn't, it just hasn't touched you yet. Brittney Palmer here is NOT a fighter, but as an Octagon Girl, she IS part of that world.

Could you imagine how much less people would fuck with each other if it was a known FACT that everyone out there has had Martial Arts training their entire lives as part of their upbringing. Could you imagine the effect that would have on American society, being taught from the beginning to respect ourselves and respect one another?

Some friends and I often speak about what things would be like if everyone had to serve in the military after high school like they do in Israel and how much better it would be. This would have the same exact effect without being nearly as extreme. And just look what its done for the ladies.

What do you think?

I'm out of it!

I'm really out of it lately. There's something that I've wanted to get into for a few days now, but at the times I can do it, get the uploads going, well, the lights are on but no one's home. With all the changes going on, medications, whatever, its to be expected I guess, but this walking coma I'm in has to end somehow.

Right now it seems only one person gets me out of it, and only then for a short while. Then its right back to me in letting it all go mode. I need a haircut bad, I'm starting to look like an animal. The nails on my right hand are starting to look like claws. Weird though, the ones on the left with the broken wrist haven't grown at all. I wonder if that has something to do with the healing process.


I'm out of control right now.

A guestion came up in a letter I wrote last night, are you living the life you want to live? For me, right now, sadly the answer is no. Far from it. A terrible state for someone looking to be a life coach.

Luckily I have my mood changer loaded up, its important for all of us to have one, something to put us in a better place. For me its a file of movie scores.


I've always had a thing for Dana Delaney, so last night when her show Body of Proof came on I had to check some of it out. Its another of those tough female cop shows because that's the flavor of the month in TV land, whatever, same show as a hundred out there, but at 55 years old now she still looks really good. You can't go by me though. I love older women.


The best part of the show was the sexy, beautiful Nathalie Kelley. The only thing she's really been in was The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, she played the lead. Maybe its just that look I'm into, she had that Vanessa Hudgens thing going on, but what I really liked most about her.... looking her up there were no slutty pictures... not yet anyway.


That's a perfect picture of Aaron Eckhart for today's out of it theme, isn't it? I caught some of Battle Los Angeles again the other day, if you remember I really enjoyed that flik, but one scene in particular is a real Captain America - Avengers assemble moment that it gets me going.

But it reminded me of something too, just on the exact right day that I needed to be reminded of it. A leader doesn't get people to follow him because he asked. A leader does so by example, he throws himself in there because its what has to be done, because its whats right, and his light lights the way. People follow because they see why he's doing what he's doing. They follow him because he makes them believe.


And this of course has nothing to do with anything. Something must have been lost in translation here, when I said out of it, they thought out of their clothes. Still, why complain about Asian underwear ads? Hell I can even read one of the words in there... it says SEXY!


This is where it all falls apart, so take this as a warning. It all goes down hill from here. This looks like someone puked into a bowl. People eat this. I don't know how. For all I know this could be the best tasting thing in the world, but I'll never know it because the sight of it is making me gag.


Honestly, this is a whole lot more appetizing to me. That's someones guts he's playing with there. This was a real live boy once, but now that's all thats left of him. In this economy though, you just can't let good meat go to waste.


In the end it wasn't that he kept messing with this lion that did him in. Leo here actually likes his pal Mickey quite well. He just couldn't stand listening to the idiot trying to speak and the nonsense and gibberish that came out. When you're getting your kicks at the expense of the King of the Jungle, you should at least make sure you can spell. That's just common decency. Leo had enough of that illiterate bastard. So he ate him.

How are lions the king of the jungle anyway? Are there even any lions IN the jungle?


Hey, if those last parts made you sick I've got a number for you to call, they can help you settle your stomach. Seeing this, I think a buddy of mine is going to have a new call sign now.


W
T
F
?


Huh! Don't tell anyone, but this is really how I broke my arm. I like to play dress up, and joust competitively, but I don't have the money for a hourse, so I have to run at the guy instead. At least the hispanics in Quick Change got to have bikes. I'm at a decided disadvantage.


I've been joking about professional jousting for months now, its on my dating site profile, and sure enough they come out with a show, Knights of Mayhem, trying to making real life jousting into an actual sport. Its on Tuesday nights, and I missed it, but I've got to check this out. Someone's going to get killed, it used to happen constantly during medievil tournaments, which is sure to get the show pulled, so I had better catch it before that happens.



Hey, don't knock the whole renaissance fair thing. Where else do you get to meet real women like this one up above? This is how she dresses for work. I was trying to get with her for a while there, but you have to wrastler her to get her into bed. She kept beating my ass. I won't lie though, I was really into it. You would be too... even you ladies...

Besides....


She sure as hell beats my ex girlfriend. Actually, my ex only looked like this, this shot is from her last birthday party. But she was a really nice person, lovely personality. On the other hand, that English chick I was sleeping with a while back looked just like this too, but only her reflection in the mirror. On the outside she was SEXY.... it was just her soul that was gnarled and twisted...

Yeah... I'll take the beating from the chick with the sword, thanks!

Geez, none of this even makes any sense. But like I said, I'm out of it.
So now I'm out of here too.

Hindsight is always 20/20... Jerry Sandusky, Occupy Wall Street and Common Sense!

"In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have showered with those kids" - Jerry Sandusky

How great is that? Once again, proving that hindsight is 20/20. What do you suppose was his first clue that that was a bad idea? Let's not knock him too much, he was only horsing around with those boys, and every one of us have been in that spot, looking back, realizing what we just did probably wasn't the best idea in the world....


There it is, that "Duh" moment. I don't know why, but I love this picture. It cracks me up, probably because I've been there before, usually once a day, just about the time I get my first comment about this blog.... or maybe its just that look on his face....

Luckily for me I stop short just of kid touching when it hits me, "that was definitely NOT great!"


That's right pal, those WERE the droids you were looking for. Think of all the lives you could have saved, the fate of an entire Empire.... and now we're at the mercy of Rebel Scum.... and its all on you there buddy... you F'ed up!


Not to point out the obvious here, I mean, the caption to the picture explains why all of these guys are grabbing their own junk, but why does the black guy have his meat hook on someone else's unit? Its not as if he needed anything else to make him stand out here, but my guess is that the uniform says it all.... he plays for the other team.


This is looking like a scene out of Nosferatu. Could you imagine if you got caught in a zombie apocalypse, but every zombie was a Hasidic Jew? If it looked anything like this I'd be dead, I'd be laughing too hard to run away, which leads me to another question.... can Hasidic Jew Zombies eat people? What I mean is, is that Kosher?


In case you're not gettin this one, that's former professional wrestler Chris Benoit. I say former because he went on a steroid induced rampage, strangled his wife and kids to death, then hung himself. At first I was going to say this was a bad shirt choice, but in hindsight, it perfectly sums up professional wrastlers... most of them are trailer trash made famous off of steroid induced rampages and choking people out....


But if you needed any more proof that wrestling is gay, its all right here, isn't it? I get what HHH is doing, jamming ole boys head between his legs... but what's that dude off to the side about to do with his fist? He's about to ram it run up ole boy's bent over ass, isn't he? UGH!!! That's not even right.


Speaking of gay.... listening to Judas Priest growing up would have been a lot different if I had seen this shot way back when, wouldn't it? What a horror! Rob Halford always wanted to be one of the Village People, and here he gets his chance. Honestly, how did any of us not see this coming?

But you know who DID see it coming?


That's right! Kurt Cobain saw it coming alright. It was the last thing he saw. Check out Courtney Love back there... enough said!


Why does that seem so damn appropriate here? I can almost see these little bastards planning something like this. Do you think this is what Courtney Love told Kurt Cobain just before he blew his face off? I wonder what the signal was, probably something nasty, something like an old George Carlin favorite, a massive pussy fart! And BAM!


I'm sure that dance move looked a lot better when they did it in their head. Whatever went wrong, the cameraman deserves major props... they had to have caught this with her on the way down. Her face has a one way ticket making a connection with that tiled floor. In about 3 seconds there's going to be blood and teeth everywhere!


Speaking of blood and teeth everywhere.... GOOD! I don't know about you, but I always root for the bull. It drives me crazy any time I see innocents suffering for no good reason, and I REALLY rail against it when its for the joy of others, so animal cruelty is at the top of my list of no-no's. So if you're the dumbass that gets himself impaled and then trampled by a thousand plus pound rampaging beast because you get a chuckle out of caging them, hurting them, and then riling them up.... you deserve what you get... and I get to laugh at your pain and misery after the fact.


You know from my posts and the many, MANY times you've come to me for my Life Coaching services that I'm all about empowerment, so this comic was right up my alley. That line right there, very true, is probably the biggest nail in the toe for all of us at the bottom looking up... you can have all the best ideas in the world, you can plan out all the details, know everything that has to be done and have it all worked out perfectly.... but without the power to get those plans going, to breathe life into what you're trying to do, you've got a whole lot of nothing....

And it fits perfectly that I bring this up on the day Occupy Wall Street is getting flushed from their flopping grounds....


"Bring out the crack suicide squad!"

I guess you have to know Monty Python to get that one. All I know is that fixing bayonets BEFORE the weapons tossing was not the best idea. This is going to get messy.

Did you see the piles of garbage they cleared out of Zuccotti Park from the OWS people? It was disgusting, like the dumps in Staten Island. What a disaster!

But how awesome is this.... Occupy Wall Street is supposed to be about corporate power and economic inequity... Billionaire Jay-Z made a killing for his clothing company off of shirts made about the event. Now on top of nationwide troubles with degenerates the movement has now found ways to FUND the corporate machine..... that's brilliant! What was that line about plans and power again?


What this has to do with hindsight I have no idea, maybe it has something to do with those pants, but it came up in my search, and did you honestly think I'd go an entire post without having even one lovely lady?

But its good also that she has nothing to do with hindsight because it allows me to add my lesson for the day. Yes, hindsight is always 20/20, and when the term comes up its always in some connection with "how the hell did you not see that coming, its common sense!". Common Sense... if we all had it there would never be a need for hindsight, right? At least that's how the story goes.

Trouble is, there's no such thing as common sense. It doesn't exist. In Social Psychology we have a phenomena called Hindsight Bias. Simply put, the answers always seem so much clearer once you know the outcome, and upon knowing that outcome, those feelings that we had that tell us were were right in the first place always appear to be much stronger than they really were. Its so pervasive that you can give a person a wrong answer and they'll explain to you all the reasons why that makes "perfect sense". Think about it and I'm sure you'll remember doing it yourself. Here endeth the lesson of the day.

Later People.
