Go! Go! Power Rangers!

 Hey crazy cats! I was just reading the news in Puerto Rico, when I came across some very crazy news. The article I was reading dealt with the cast of "The Mighty Morphing Power Rangers". Admit it, you watched it too. As a matter of fact, you mimicked the fights against the Putty Patrol. Anywho, they were doing like a "where are they now" thing with them. So, without further ado, here you go!

Jason David Frank: The White Ranger. After MMPR, he had small parts in shows. He now owns several Karate Dojos and has developed his own form of the art. He's married and has one child. he has also made his pro MMA debut recently. He won the fight.

Thuy Trang: The Yellow Ranger. After MMPR, she went on to do small jobs. Tragically, she died on September 3, 2001 in a car accident.

Amy Jo Johnson: The Pink Ranger. After MMPR, Amy has done quite a bit of work on TV. She has a daughter . She continues to do small work.

Walter Emanuel Jones: The Black Ranger. He did quite a bit of work, after the show. He appeared in "Dogwalker". He has had some problems with the law. In July 2009, he was busted for DUI. The charges were dropped in April 2010.

David Yost: The Blue Ranger. After the show. He hasn't done much. He came out of the closet, went back in, then came back out. That's about it.

Austin St. John: After MMPR, he retired from acting. He's a paramedic in Sterling, Virginia. There are rumors that he wanted to star in a gay porn movie (seriously).

There you have it! That's enough of me. I just wanted to end the week on a weird note. Y'all take care of yourself! Keep safe and dream big!

From Tiger to Cheetah

 Hey crazy cats, it's almost the weekend. I hope everyone is getting along nicely and things are going great. Today I decided to dive into the topic of Tiger Woods. Yep, it was only a matter of time. I really don't know what to make of all of it. Let me state my case and you can comment on it.
 I believe the Elin deserves some props for handling the situation the way she did. Divorce is never pretty. Hearts are broken and lives are torn apart. What was once the most beautiful and purest form of love our imaginations can conceive becomes a rotting pile of what once was beautiful roses. To make matters worse, children are involved. As if the destruction of love weren't bad enough, when children are involve it makes it infinitely worse.
 However, my entry isn't really about the road to destruction that both went down. My entry is about the night in December. As Tiger's SUV came dashing out the garage and rounding  the corner, he lost control and smashed a fire hydrant and then a tree. He couldn't blame the snow because in lives in FLORIDA! So my whole dilemma is what really happened?
 We all know. Tiger goes into another room. Elin picks up his phone. She sees all the texts that the fool left on the thing. She goes spider-monkey. He makes a mad dash for the door. Elin becomes "Hulk smash" angry. By now, Tiger figures that he needs to get out or it's his day of reckoning.
 So he gets into his SUV, he figures that it's now or never. He sets in his course, hits the gas, goes from 0-120 mph in .0000000000002 seconds. Little does he know that he will not get far! Seconds later, glass goes flying, bumpers come off, and a golf pro gets a concussion.
 There lies the mystery! You see, Tiger claims Elin never hit him. However, there was a golf club ( one of those really super expensive ones), blood, an ambulance ride, and finally a cover up. We all know what truly happened. Tiger got his claws clipped!
If you think I'm siding with Tiger, you're nuts! The dude thought he was all powerful. He slept around, even while his wife was pregnant! That's really cold-blooded! Plus, she is a hot looking woman! So I ask why Tiger why?!
 Now, he's going to shell out money, for a pretty long time, for a stunt that lasted maybe 15 minutes. The equation doesn't add up. He played and he lost. He lost big. He knows that he was the reason for the destruction of his marriage.
 So, the moral of the story? Do I really need to state it? We all know. Elin will suffer the heartbreak til the check clears. Tiger will suffer the failed marriage til another bimbo comes his way. The children will suffer the most. They are the true victims.
 Folks, be good to your spouse. Cherish what you have. Tomorrow may be too late. Keep safe and dream big!

A Rare Gem

Hey crazy cats, I hope everyone's week has started off on the right note. Today, I'm just going to jump right into my entry. It's kind of like standing under the shower while the water is still cold. so, let's get started.
 What is a friend? Is it someone you know at work? Is it someone you have a crush on? Is it someone who gives you money? Is the value of friendships measured on the amount of friends you have on Facebook? Or is it the "fame" you have by how many people follow you on Twitter. How many of us have friends who will literally walk through hell with you, just to make sure you come out fine?
 A friend is a person who we care about, love, admire, share our pain and triumphs, who gives you a hand when you're down and who is there to share a laugh. They have the strength to tell us when we make a mistake. They help us to achieve more. They cry when we cry. They are those that we wish we were kin.
 A friend will not back stab you or take advantage of you. They are there at whatever hour when you need an ear. A friend is there to give you strength when you need it. They are there to let you know your fly is down. A friend listens and not judges.
 So my question I ask is who fits this description in your life? Many of you will say God. Good on you! religion is very good. Others will say family. Very well. Family is very good too. However, think really hard. Is there someone besides God and family who fits this description? Does a name immediately pop in your head or does it take forever to think of someone?
 It's not an easy task to really find out who your friends are. I say if you have a friend...a true friend, cherish them! They are very hard to come by. Lately, friendships are based on how or what services can be provided.
 As I said, these little gifts from heaven should be appreciated. For those of you who are married, make sure your spouse is your best friend. Trust me, it's a title they would love to hear come from your lips. They are not a ball and chain.
 Well, if you're expecting a whimsical ending, well you're out of luck. I just wanted to put a little thought in your head as we start off this week. To all my friends, thank you for being in my life. Without you, I'd be really empty and boring.... well, just empty. Keep safe and dream big!

A Little Rain

Hey crazy cats! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend (or what's left of it...). I just wanted to take this moment and just type away some things that have been in my mind lately.
 Unfortunately, it hasn't been a bed of roses lately for me. Yes, even I get into some ruts. I've noticed that life is a lot like a roller coaster ride. We have our beginnings, ups, downs, screams, twists, loops, turns and finally ending. Depending on what the Divine Creator chose to gave you, you can have a fairly nice ride or you can have a cookie tosser.
 I think that I'm going through a drop in my life. Granted, I enjoy the ride. I just don't like my heart and stomach pressing up on my uvula. The beauty of it all is that there's going to be an upswing. In essence, it's all part of life.
 That brings me to my entry. I've noticed lately that people aren't really allowed to grieve. Whether it be the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or the frustrations of life, we have been told that it's not right to be sad.
 Now before anyone jumps down my throat with the issue of depression, let me state that this is about being sad. If you are depressed, please seek the help. I believe that those who seek help for their depression are very strong and courageous people. However, this entry is about being slapped now and then by life.
 We are continuously told that being sad is a weakness and we should do everything in our power to stop it. My question is then...why? I believe that we should feel sad from time to time. I feel that we need a little reminder of sadness and pain in order to make us appreciate what we have in our lives now.
 I've seen many people say that their lives are better when a relationship ends. if there was drugs, abuse, or any violent crime, then I would say yes. It is better physically and emotionally the scars will heal. Again, I do not speak about the extremes.
 I recently broke up with a woman who I found to be the best little gift from heaven. You may ask why the heck did I break up with her then?! Well, let's put it this way, love doesn't always win. Sometimes, respect has a lot to do with it.
 When I was married, we made a rule in the house never to call the other names. I've never even used the word stupid. It was about having respect for the other's feelings. Towards the end, however, I was called everything to include some choice words that even Ike would've never said to Tina.
 OK, back to the entry... Although I did what I that to be right, I still feel a sense of loss. There is an emptiness. I spent a lot of time getting to know this person. I walked away before things would have gotten worse. This does not make it any better.
 Am I sad? Yes. I am very sad. Now I'm not going to say that it was her loss, or good riddance, or any of that other garbage. It's not true. However, time will heal the pain. Time will move forward. This experience will be added to my soul. I have learned.
 Unfortunately, joy cannot exist without sorrow. Love cannot exist without pain. Even in sunny Florida it rains. It's a part of life. So let yourself be sad. Cry if you want to. It does the soul good. Tomorrow, it's a new chapter. hey, just because the roller coaster is at the bottom doesn't mean the ride is over. Hang on, the thrilling part is about to start! Keep safe and dream big!

Booyah! Motivation

 Hello crazy cats,
 It's another beautiful hot day in sunny Florida. Summer is trucking along and the fun is in full swing. Summer is a time for hot dogs, hamburgers, bbq, and vacation!
 We are now into August. This year is flying by quickly. I was just sitting here daydreaming and thinking about yesteryear. A while back, the beginning of August was a time which I loved. It was full of fun and celebrating. Now, although it's still fun, it has become less of celebration and more of just normal fun time.
 This brings me to the latest thought for this entry. We all seem to get complacent in the lives we live out. We celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, divorces, World Cups, and other life milestones. We sometimes forget that, although these things bring us great joy, they are temporary. We receive the good and forget that, sometimes, there is bad that accompanies them. It's all part of life.
 Recently, one of my friends has been going through a tough time. He is very optimistic. He goes out with his friends and has a pretty good time. He's back into the swing of things. However, he did let us, his friends, know that things aren't all peachy-king. That's the way life works.
 So you may be asking yourself what's the purpose of this entry? Well it isn't a sad entry. I'm here to motivate people to the point of self-combustion! Are tired of being down? Are you tired of waking up and thinking the day sucks? Are you tired of being sick and tired? Then just walk outside!
 It sounds ridiculous, but it's true! We tend to let ourselves be sucked into our sadness. Well, the buck stops here! We all have bad days. We all go through rough moments. If we don't watch ourselves, we fall into this terrible spiral of despair.
 I remember that when I went through a rough moment years ago. I was on my way to the Persian Gulf and I had to leave my then wife behind. She was going through a rough time. However, country came first. War was on the menu and I was being served.
 As I was leaving, I couldn't help but think how big of a douche bag I looked like. No one understood why I just couldn't stay behind ( God only knows I tried). It was very tough for me to go and leave someone who I cared for go through such a trying time in their life. Yet in the end ( depends on how you see it), things turned out fine.
 Life has a way of fixing itself. The only problem is we must accept the outcome. Sometimes it sucks. I admit it. Sometimes we are doing a little jig. Whatever the outcome, we must venture forward. Life is full of splendor and wonder. If I were to have gotten stuck in my depression when my life fell apart, I would've never have started my business. If I wouldn't have had a catastrophic event, I wouldn't have met the wonderful people in my life.
 We shouldn't wait on anyone or anything to help us. People say that things happen for a reason. I say bull do-do. Things happen because they happen. It's up to us to take advantage of the moment and turn a negative into a positive. We must have an indomitable spirit. We must alway strive to win. Life is beautiful. Life is hard. Life is all worth it!
 Now go out there and get them tigers! Keep safe and dream big!
