Totally forgot to post picks, though I don't think anyone was really concerned about it.  I came out even for the first half of the day's racing, then got a little too brave at the end of the day and took bets out on long shots I liked.  All part of the learning process.  Pioneer of the Nile was a definite upset to me; the jockey could have ridden ( Read more... )

I'm doing all my handicapping today, so I will post my personal picks either tonight or early tomorrow morning for all of Saturday's races at Pimlico...so be sure to check back if you want to see how accurate I am or want some advice! Till then, wish me luck ( Read more... )

I have had so many ideas for blogs and today I can't think of a single one I could write with some degree of passion. I would write about handicapping the Preakness and what horses you should watch, but I won't get the information I need to study the race until tonight. So tomorrow perhaps? Until then, I'll just give you a little background info ( Read more... )

Its been awhile!  Brian had almost complete control over the computer the past month working on his masters online.  So now he's done for a little while and I'm back.  Ok, you're right, silly excuse...but I am back.  Since the last post, I've been busy quitting smoking and I'm proud to say its going VERY well.  Montana weather is getting warm again ( Read more... )

Its time to admit it, I've tried to hide it for too long.  When people come over, I stash it all away so no one but Brian will know.  I am embarrassed by it, but its become an obsession...

I love the Twilight series and anything related to it.

Yes, I put $5 down to reserve a copy of the movie...I have read the books twice in less than 3 months...I ( Read more... )

So its been an interesting month...didn't post for awhile because I felt silly about the short story...I had hoped for feedback, but that is my own fault for seeking it.  But Brian discovered other sites where writers post their writing for feedback from other writers, so as soon as I get the courage I'll give it a try.  Might have to tell Brian to ( Read more... )

Disclaimer- The following was written and edited briefly today in just 3 hours, though the story has been on my backburner for years.  Feedback welcome!

"My People, My Life, My Home"

I had fought, tooth and nail, to stop them.  I yelled and tried my hardest to intimidate them.  I even managed to break skin on one of them, maybe two.  Only they were ( Read more... )

I have been busy (and a little slack) the last two days...and today's entry will be brief as I am feeling rather tired, which happens from time to time with something I have been fighting for some years now- major depression, another topic I will divulge more on another day ( Read more... )

This blog has certainly turned out to be a blessing in disguise!  An old friend of mine, Tyler Allen, one of my best and most treasured high school friends, was inspired to write me and catch up after reading my first entry- not that he was one of the friends I ever felt like I lost, I've always still considered him a best friend and just knew ( Read more... )

Have migraine today, but am doing entry as I swore I would everyday unless I was on my death bed- trying to stay dedicated to writing everyday in blog besides story. However, I will allow for a meager entry as deep thoughts are not possible right now, with my head trying to blow up and my stomach horribly nauseated, not to mention I did make some ( Read more... )
