For whom the bell tolls

for-whom-the-bell-tolls

Thought I would polish off my blog and start posting again. Since things that piss me off seem to be the only way I get motivated to post I guess I will just go with it.

A couple of years ago the SEC tried to get rid of our beloved cowbells. Being a Mississippi State Fan and owning a cowbell go hand in hand. As a kid going to games the one constant ( cause winning sure wasn’t ) was the sound of thousands of cowbells ringing their support. But the SEC has deemed this as too much of an edge for MSU. Edge!!!!! We are a small school in the most competitive division in college sports. With power houses like Florida, LSU, Alabama, etc. I think the edge goes to those schools in terms of money and recruiting yet they get their panties in a twist because we shake a cowbell at a agriculture based college.

Their compromise was to “allow” it’s fans ( the very same fans and boosters that support and pay for the team ) to ring their bells only during times of stopped play. And are forbidden to ring them on the road. When did college football become a place to be quiet? During a play or an away game I can stand up and scream at the top of my lungs any profanity laced rant I want. I’ve heard many in my years as a MSU fan including chants of “Bulllllllshit” by the entire fan base including the kids. But if I ring my cowbell it is somehow wrong.

I watched with amusement as the Ole Miss Rebels turned into the Ole Miss Black Bears. I can understand the reasoning for that while I didn’t agree with it. But we are talking about cowbells. A tradition for a school in a power house division that doesn’t get much of the lime light. In fact usually they are a punch line when SEC talk starts. “LEAVE US BE” I say. Our cowbells are a tradition. Something us fans are proud of. It seems like such a small thing to people outside of MSU but if it’s such a small thing then why does the SEC make such a big fuss over it.

How about spending less time worrying about the noises we make and more time on figuring out a playoff system that doesn’t suck. Oh yeah I forgot those bowls make you tons of money no matter who wins. I forgot for whom the bell tolls didn’t I.

The Big Issues

With the ongoing process of deciding who I should vote for in the presidential race, i’ve decided to give my views on some of the bigger issues. They probably won’t come in any particular order of importance. My views are my own and I will always back them up against anyone that wants to question them. If for any reason you have a question or an opposing point to what I say, you can post a comment. Just remember I am very passionate in what i believe and have no problems expressing my thoughts. While I may not agree with your thoughts on the same issues, I will do my best to respect your opinions.

Miss Spears volume 2

Ok for those that read this thing i wrote a blog about britney spears. I think recent events have changed my opinion of her somewhat. As some of you may know she has lost custody of her kids to k-fed. She was warned that it would probably happen. After her warning, what did she do. Well she went a clubbin. Doesn’t sound very mommy like to me. After the court’s decision to take her kids away she took them to k-fed 2 days earlier than the court order. WTH!!! Sounds to me like her kids were just interfering with her party scene. I’m still under the impression she needs help, but after seeing this i must honestly say i really don’t care if she gets it anymore.

Miss Spears, GROW THE HELL UP AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS AND QUIT BEING A TOTAL F&^K UP!

Fed Up!!!!

I’m so sick and tired of people’s b/s. I do my absolute best to treat people like I myself want to be treated only to get chit on. Here is a freakin news flash for everyone. I can’t help what other people do. I’m not their keeper. Everyone does what they do on their own accord. I don’t go around dictating how someone should act. While I maybe friends with someone it does not mean that I agree with everything they do. But that also means I’m not going to choose a side when both sides are as wrong as they could be. If you don’t want to be my friend because of what someone else does then forget you. I don’t have many friends but i’ll be damned if I’ll go around begging or apologizing for something i had no part in just to keep one. I just want a little bit of happiness in life I don’t think that’s too much to ask. But it seems filled with constant petty meaningless crap. So to anyone and everyone that thinks I should kiss their ass or change to suit them. BYE BYE DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YOU!!!! I “GOT” along without you before i met you and you can rest assured I’ll “GET” along without you!

Michael Vick Update!

Today i watched as Michael Vick spoke after the hearing where he pleaded guilty to crimes involving dog fighting. I feel a little better about his character after the speech. He did a few things I really liked. First and foremost he spoke as himself. He did not read from some prepared statement like most thought he would. He did not try and place blame on anyone else for his mistakes. I think Vick has taken in the initial right step forward. Time will tell on how sincere he is. I don’t prescribe to the people should automatically get a second chance. Especially when it comes to pro athletes. They are living a life that most ppl would kill for. I know it’s not all roses but it’s a heck of a lot better than what most of us go through everyday. I was for Vick never playing another down for the NFL. I’m still of that mindset but i will admit with the speech Vick gave today i’m now willing to listen and watch him in hopes he can gain a second chance.
