Christmas

This Christmas I got everything I asked for. It was great I got tickets to go see Brian Regan (one of my favorite comedians).

I also got a ping pong table and I have so enjoyed that. I also got an Apple TV and clothes which is awesome!

Unfortunately Christmas would have been complete had the Colts continued to go undefeated but the coaches took the starters out of the game in the 3rd Quarter!! They wound up losing the game so they could rest their players!! This Christmas I watched some movies that get me in the spirit of the season which are: Its A Wonderful Life, Charlie Brown Christmas, and others. For some reason this year I watched Bad Santa which was pretty stupid of me seeing that it is such bad movie.

Tiger Woods

Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods

Tiger Woods

These recent stories involving Tiger Woods many people have been asking me what I think of him now. I have been a fan of Tiger Woods the golf player since 1997. I watched the 1997 Masters as a mesmerized 7th grader that had never seen a player so dominate. I was an instant fan and followed golf only because I wanted to see how this man would change the game of golf. In my mind, golf would not be where it is today without Tiger Woods. I know for me and my friends that any time we go play golf Tiger Woods is brought up in some way. Most of the time its when someone shoots an impossible shot. That what he is known as the man that always made the impossible shot. The one big thing about Tiger Woods that I have always like is that you could never count him out of a tournament.

Accomplishments

Major Wins: 14

PGA Player of the Year: 10 times

FedEx Cup Championships: 2

PGA Tour wins: 71

European Tour: 38

I am a fan of Tiger Woods the player of golf. I am not a fan of him as a person. He is a Buddhist first of all which I don't like but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop being a fan because of his religion. I don't believe that just because your a fan of someone your automatically condoning everything that they do. I am still a fan even after what has come out about him with all these different women. He is the greatest golf player of all time in my mind. What he does in his personal life doesn't erase history and his past accomplishments. It just lets people that have always liked Phil Mickelson or some other player have ammunition against him now. Now he is not seen as this perfect athlete. My mind he is still the greatest golf player of all time because of what he does on the course not off of it.

People have asked me a bunch of if questions that would I stop being a fan "if he killed somebody or some other horrible crime." I would answer that with Tiger Woods would no longer be able to play golf if he was convicted of murder. So then he is not able to play golf then I am no longer going to root for him. If he playing the game of golf at the level he does then yes I am going to be a fan of him. This is because the man is the best player in the world. If you are a fan of golf than how can you not marvel at what the man has accomplished. This is about being a sports fan. He is the best athlete at his sport. I never knew you had to be a fan of the whole person not just what he or she is able to do and accomplish at their sport.

We have all been caught being fans of someone doing something immoral.

Go to the following site and see if you are or were fans of the athletes listed.

Mitch Fatel is Magical

Mitch Fatel: Mitch Fatel Is Magical (2009)

DVD Release Date: September 22, 2009

Check out Mitch Fatels new one hour stand up special Mitch Fatel is Magical September 18th on Comedy Central!

I taped the special and watched it the other day. Mitch Fatel delivery is so unique and so hilarious. His whole 1 hour special is about women and sex. I can't believe the whole hour has the same subject. Mitch does sex humor like Chris Rock with racial humor. I thought it was hilarious. The way he does that small sly voice is great touch. It really gives you something to look forward to. Below is some clips from the show. Link to his Youtube channel.

Funny Bone in VA Beach

I was Virginia Beach this prior week for work and went to the Funny Bone while I was there. I went with a coworker to see the featured comedian Lynne Koplitz. The coworker I went with was a lady that is in her 50s. When we got to the door the man asked did we want to sent toward the front or in the back. I said Id rather be in the front then in the back. Thinking we get in the middle but ole no we were right beside the stand within an arm distance. I could practically hold the hand of the comedian on stage. Within two minutes of Lynne being onstage I regretted the decision of choosing the front. She looked over at us and noticed the distance between the coworker and I and asked are ya'll married? I answered with No and then she asked are you dating and I was "No." Then, she asked well how do you know each other? I said we are coworkers and then she goes off to about three or four jokes about coworkers and all kinds of stuff. Then, starts asking me questions again like are either one of you married and I said I am and then she was like does your wife know that your out at a comedy club with a coworker? I said yes and then she asked tell me exactly where she thinks you are? I said she think I am in VA beach. Then she got the clue that I was out of town on business and asked where I was from. I said Mississippi. Terrible answer by the way. After about 10 hillbilly jokes she asked me for my name. Funny thing that Lynne couldn't even get me a free beer at the Funny Bone. She kept thinking I was mad for her picking on me and ordering the waitress to bring me a beer, however it never happened. Another funny thing is look at the picture below and how old would you guess Lynne is?
