I am such a wuss.<BR/><BR/>I never want anyone to get hurt. But then I was always the idiot who was rescuing birds and toads and other injured creatures. I'm 48 and it's only in the last 5 years or so that I've gotten to the point where I can stay in the room during some violent films, even though I know it isn't real. <BR/><BR/>Some. And only when I turn my head away. It's funny too b/c I was always fine with things like when my boys got hurt and I had to take them to the hospital. I just hate cruelty or violence. Like I said, I'm a huge wuss. Boys are strange :p But I am glad you guys are around.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083557761155403492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-81098217070225885142007-07-30T12:47:00.000-04:002007-07-30T12:47:00.000-04:00*sigh*You mean I had a brush with greatness and di...*sigh*<BR/><BR/>You mean I had a brush with greatness and didn't even know it?<BR/><BR/>*running away*Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083557761155403492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-61955899775096995992007-07-30T03:41:00.000-04:002007-07-30T03:41:00.000-04:00I got some extra work in one of the Rocky movies.....I got some extra work in one of the Rocky movies...I think it was number 5.

Very cool, spd. I remember as a little girl my father going on and on about seeing the first of his three fights againt the Hammer of Thor in late 50s/early 60s when Patterson went down for the count six or seven times but kept getting back up for another lickin' Nobody could figure out how he managed to get up again and again. He has a park in Brooklyn that bears his name but I don't hear/read his name much these days. I don't hear much talk about boxing period. I don't even know who holds the heavyweight title these days...maybe because we can't pronounce their names anymore:) The last one I remember is Lennox Lewis and that's several years ago. Pity. <BR/><BR/>I don't know where the Sly thing came from. Maybe to drum up business for the upcoming Rambo movie to be released in May 2008. Gawd. Shouldn't John Rambo be collecting social security checks by now?portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787293661302431895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-60749029495298773552007-07-29T16:06:00.000-04:002007-07-29T16:06:00.000-04:00The only thing memorable (to me) about Rocky is th...The only thing memorable (to me) about Rocky is that it has become the source of our longest running marital eye-roller.<BR/><BR/>Rocky came out when my husband and I were dating. He SWEARS he took me to see it. I am just about sure I never saw the movie in any movie theater, which has caused no end of teasing about 'what girl he *did* take to see Rocky' (could well have been just before we started going out, when he dated pretty much all of my girlfriends).<BR/><BR/>I think it's funny, so <I>I</I> love it every time the subject comes up.<BR/><BR/> <I>He</I> gets the deer-in-the-headlights look. :p<BR/><BR/>Plus, after 25+ years he's even managed to turn it around somehow so I"M the bad guy!

It's completely different from "big league" play. In other words, it's still the best fun you can have and still meet your mortgage.<BR/><BR/>I confess that the the longevity of the "Rocky" thing has always been somewhat of a mystery to me. Sure, it's a great fight film, but Stallone played a palooka with nothing but what "ADRIANNE" and Burgess Meredith (in perhaps his most endearing role) gave him. Being married to a Philly gal, as I am, it's a minor bit of apostasy to disparage any Rocky film, but even the home folks removed the statute from the front of the museum before finally relenting to restore this bit of kitsch.<BR/><BR/>So why the hell is Brooklyn getting into the act? Why not celebrate a real-life boxer from Brooklyn, such as Rocky Graziano, Joe Lynch, or my personal favorite, Charley Goldman, Floyd Patterson? (I remember Mr. Patterson as being one of the most genuinely genuine persons that I have ever had the opportunity to meet.)<A HREF="http://www.infoplease.com/biography/var/miketyson.html" REL="nofollow">Then again...</A> Nevermind.<BR/><BR/>Glad you got to enjoy the game. <BR/>Go SOX.spd rdrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543431460609915876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-72066697528634749912007-07-29T11:06:00.000-04:002007-07-29T11:06:00.000-04:00We won!!

The only thing I love more is going to company-level games on base and watching idiot Marines play. <BR/><BR/>That is really fun :) In fact, that may be the best thing of all for me, watching real people play any sport, whatever it is. I have never really understood pro sports, but I've always loved to go watch real people play. The joking around, the beer, the trash-talking, the drama, the thrill of watching people go all out and then shake hand when it's all over. So much fun.<BR/><BR/>To me, that is what it's all about. Yeah, that and getting my picture taken with the big chicken. Or playing pranks and running like heck. Gosh, can you tell I've been looking at old photos today?<BR/><BR/>Have fun.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083557761155403492noreply@blogger.com
