So, in case you didn't notice. My blog has changed. Personally I love the mountain in the background, as well clearness of the raindrops in the forefront.
So let's set up a situation. A girl breaks up with her boyfriend, and you like this girl. What do you do?
Common sense would tell you talk to her, ask her to hang out, and then pursue her. But I am here to tell you, that common sense is wrong, especially if you like the girl. What do I mean? It's simple. No guy should ever be the rebound guy, EVER. Here is what happens when you are the rebound guy... you talk to her, get to know a little more, you take her out, she lets pay you for dinner and a movie, and then she drops the friend card. Let's be honest ladies... after every time you break up with a guy, you want another to fill the void for the time being. Not because you like the guy, but because you just want someone to be there. You play games. It's true, and whether or not you want to admit you do it, it is wrong! Okay, so as the guy, what do you do? You talk to her, get to know her a little, but do not be the rebound guy. I repeat, do not be the rebound guy. If there is another guy, you might think you are trying to beat him, but honestly you should let him win. That way, he is the rebound guy, and when she chews him up and spits him out, you are not the rebound guy, but her boyfriend. It's really that simple! Although the simplicity of the situation is overshadowed by emotions and 'love' the thing is, it's simple.
In light of July 4th being right around the corner, let's talk fireworks. I love fireworks!! I love the loud booms and the many bright colors. That is why July 4th is one of my favorite holidays. Things that involve this wonderful holiday: Friends, Family, Cookouts, Swim parties, and of course Fireworks!!! Those 5 things cannot be beat. I love it and can't wait for next weekend!

Wheelin' and Dealin'
Let's talk.... 3rd wheel. Is it okay to be a 3rd wheel? Or is it against the rules? Well, here's some insight from my point of view on the situation...
If your friend comes in and says 'hey so and so and I are going out to dinner and then we're going out to a movie,' it is not okay to jump in and say 'hey, I'm coming with.' Seriously, if this happens and you are trying to 3rd wheel, it is absolutely necessary for you to go out and get another friend so you don't have to sit alone all by yourself at night.
If your friend comes in and says 'hey so and so and I are going out to dinner and then we're going out to a movie,' it is perfectly fine for you to say 'alright, sounds fun.' It is only okay to that do once or twice. You would be a good friend if most of the time you said 'no that's alright, you guys go out and have a good time.' Sometimes they will really want you to come, and that's fine, but make sure every time they ask, you don't say yes. At some point, you might want to still go out and find another friend, you know, for the times you say no.
New subject...
Some people have problems. When they like someone, they ask others for advice. Really though, others have no say in what goes on. So, if you're looking for advice, here is mine... Stop asking for advice. When it comes down to it, you should do what you want to do. No one else's opinion should matter. At times, it may be tough to deal with the decision making, but bottom line, you gotta get over it.
Take the time to go out today and put yourself above your competition. Although you may get 'lost' with love and other such things, remember that there is competition everywhere. Don't sit back and ponder what your competitor is doing, get up and go find out. Once you know, beat him/her. Be pro-active, not re-active. If you are reactive then your competitor has you beat and they will be one step ahead of you. It doesn't hurt to go out and figure it out, and then do something to get ahead. Don't lose yourself though, because once you lose yourself, will lose the battle every time!
Until next time... do something that will put you ahead for a change!

Fearing Peace
Just a quick note here. I know it's been quite some time, but I think it's time to for this post.
First thing is first. I know I have faults, I get that, I do! Just know you have faults too!
I don't know if any of you know this about me, I have a fear. This is my one and only fear! I have a fear of dieing alone. I want this reassurance from someone that can tell me, they will be right by my side when it's my time to go. I don't what brought this about, but it is something I have put a ton of thought into. Maybe some of you who know me on a more personal level, know that I don't like to be alone. For some strange reason, I don't like to go places without someone going with me. Does it hinder me at times? Of course! But, that isn't going to change who I am. It really kind of makes me mad really though, you know the whole needing someone there with me. I don't know why? I have flown on an airplane by myself, but yet when it comes to going shopping, I need someone there with me!
That is one thing, I think, that really is different about me. I feel a need to have someone there. for the whole dieing alone thing, I really hope I get over that one day, because it wouldn't be me to put myself before other people. I would rather die alone so no one grieves over me. Honestly, it's who I am.
Anyone ever wish they could just tell someone their BIG secret, not just who you have a crush on, but your BIG secret? For me personally, I wish that everyday! And no, I'm not gay!
I have recently found out there are few things that put me at complete peace...
1) Thunderstorms- I could sit through thunderstorms everyday and be perfectly fine for the rest of my life. There is something about the sound of the rain mixed with the brightness of lightning and the booms of thunder that really just takes all the thoughts out of my mind. I love it! I would choose a night listening to thunderstorms over a night of going out.
2) Stars- I love looking at the stars. I really don't know why I, or anyone else enjoys that? But, my guess, at least on my part, is the curiosity of the unknown. For me, it's like a child's dream of going up there and exploring, although I really have no aspirations of going into space. Regardless, it's been a long time since I have actually laid down and taken the time to look up at the stars, and that is something I would definitely like to look into in the near future!
3) Lightning Bugs- Seriously, Lightning Bugs? Yes, LIGHTNING BUGS! I drove by this big open field last week and I thought it was one of the coolest things I had seen in a long time. What was it? A bunch of Lightning Bugs flying around and lighting up! It was awesome, until the Thunderstorm came the next day. The power went out in the house so my brother and I were completely bored. The cool part? Lightning Bugs. I looked out the window as the rain had started to die down. I looked into the trees from across the street. Lightning Bugs were hiding in the trees and lighting up. Imagine it being pitch black and see these little specks of flashing light. And I thought that was cool? Yes, until I looked in my backyard. My backyard is basically surrounded by trees. The backyard seemed to be even darker, and the Lightning Bugs were more sufficient. There were so many of those things hiding in the trees lighting up in the pitch black. It might have been the coolest thing I have EVER seen!
4) Baseball Games- At this point in my life, I have decided that going to a Cincinnati Reds game is almost as soothing as it gets. You get great food, a good amount of excitedness, as well as the relaxed time you have been seeking recently. For me, I have decided I could possibly spend every one of my last days on Earth being in a baseball stadium. There is just some type of aura about the baseball stadium that I tend to fall in love with. Don't ask why, but it is something I could do for the rest of my life. Do you think I'll be buying season tickets to the Reds when I am retired? If I am even remotely close to Cincinnati, the answer is a definite yes!
The one thing that really bothers me... how the love I have for sports hasn't carried over to a possible love I have for a girl. I know the whole shindig, there is someone for everyone. Honestly, it gets old. And, now we're back to the whole being alone thing again....

Replay Jr.
Actually, I really have nothing to say about "just" nice guys... The fact is, guys hate to hear they are such a nice guy. What they say is really true, nice guys finish last. Nice guy is a demeaning word when you think about it. To a guy, they never ever want to be called nice. It's like the word cute. Cute is just as bad. Actually cute may be worse. Cute is a one way road to the friend zone, and I think we all know once you get into the friend zone, there is no coming out. It's like the word 'just'. That might be the worst of all. When a girl pulls out 'just,' it's the end of road. When she says just friends, there is no hope for anything more. Does it suck? Yes, very much actually, but sometimes you 'just' have to deal with it. When this happens, you get stuck watching 3 Ninjas all by yourself on a Thursday night...
Now, onto bigger and better things...
Yesterday two things happened in the sports world, actually in the baseball world. An umpire threw away a perfect game. A perfect game is history. It's the greatest thing a pitcher could do throughout his career. Only 19 people have ever thrown a perfect game before, and an ump took away the 20th to ever happen. But, can we really blame the ump? He said he was sure the player was safe, that is until he saw the replay after the game. So, again I ask, can we really blame the ump? Let's not forget that in 2006, the players voted him the second best ump in baseball. Bottom line is, there is no way you can blame the umpire Jim Joyce for making a mistake. Mistakes are made by humans every day! We must blame the system for this one! Or maybe, we should blame Bud Selig. I mean really, he has the power to go back and call him out, but did he, no. Bud Selig is the one and only reason there is no instant replay in Major League Baseball. There needs to be instant replay to correct calls like this one that were missed. I guess that is the only good thing that will eventually come out of this whole debacle!
The one thing that is really too sad is, the misfortune above took away from the retirement of one of the greatest baseball players to walk the planet. He made his swing look so easy, and every kid aspired to him. His swing was smooth, but powerful. By far, he had the greatest swing I have ever seen. No matter what, every time he made contact with the ball, it looked as if it was headed out of the park. After 22 years, he has been ridiculed for leaving the club house early to go on vacation, sleeping in the locker room during a game, and an immense amount of injuries throughout the latter part of his career. If he were healthy the last 10 years he played, he would have no doubt been the best baseball player EVER. His 630 career home runs leaves him with the 5th most of all time. He was the first to wear his baseball cap backwards, and he changed the game of baseball trading cards as well. Personally, I have his rookie card. He was the first person picked in the 1987 MLB draft. Nicknamed "The Kid," during his 22 years, he truly was a kid doing what he loved. I have never seen him on the field not smiling. He will surely be elected on his first-ballot into the Hall of Fame. He made baseball fun, and that is the most important part. Memorable moments include: his amazing defensive catches which he made look so easy, his home run derby win, him and his father hitting back-to-back home runs in 1990, and his 600th home run as a Cincinnati Red. His talent overmatched everyone else's, and it seemed completely natural. He came in as a Seattle Mariner, and he left as a Seattle Mariner. He was their poster child, even when he wasn't a Mariner. Ken Griffey Jr. will be greatly missed in the game of baseball, and it is a shame his retirement seemed to have gone unnoticed! Junior, I have your rookie card, and I have a poster of you. You were my favorite player, and I will miss you in the game of baseball! Thanks for all the memories!
