The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

It is hard having athletes that shoot themselves in their feet. Right now I have a rower that has 'it' the aspect that everyone wants in order to reach the top levels of their sport- but they simply don't have the mental focus.



When I say focus, I don't mean that they can't work hard, intensely or fully- but they simply will not allow themselves to loose in order to take steps towards the bigger picture. They want to metal NOW. They want to win NOW. Because of the NOW- they are missing out on future if they don't quickly understand that they MUST learn technique. To do this they will either have to work harder than they are now, or they will have to ease up some.



Unfortunately I see this athlete taking the easy route and changing sports yet again, but this time to something where they thinks they can succeed in. They are missing the tenacity that creates the top athletes. No one seems to remember or care that in High School Michael Jordan spent time on the JV squad, and if my memory serves me correctly- he did so again in University before making the steps that lead him to be the amazing player he was.



People and athletes today pay TOO much attention to where someone is now, instead of what it took to get them there. We all have some sort of dues to pay- are you willing to pay them with the very real chance they it may never pay out in the way you want?



If your answer is no, then you will never shine as brightly as you could. But not all of us want that- it is something we all need to determine for ourselves.

ru-oh... just found an old HS flame on Facebook.



Blew that one when he told me he was going to be a cheerleader, and I responded with:



"why on earth would you want to be a cheerqueer?"



*sigh*I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...

People wonder why I don't date.



Asshats is the reasons. I have dogs and cats that are needed. If you can't wait for me to do other things while chatting with you- or get rude or needy- YER OUT



Pathetic = Block

Needy = Block

Tying to cyber hump my leg = Block

Woe to you = Block



*sigh* why on earth do I put myself through this? Oh yeah, cause I need to not try to put my foot through the men that do hit on me *sigh* But it is fun... *sigh*



I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...I will be nicer, and more feminine...



*BURP* opsy!

Sometimes coaching 19-32yr olds is a little like coaching a gong show.



Strike that, it is a BIG gong show *sigh*

And I simply don't have words right now. Some of what has been going on in my world:



1. 20th year HS reunion

2. crew

3. work

4. creating social outlets

5. painting and decorating

6. reading

7. spending time with my animals....



and so much more. Truly I am grateful, but with all that is happening I simply needed to spend a few days with no computer... I might even spend a few more as I am loving the reading that I've gotten done, and the me time- while being here is great, I still view my computer as much of my work.



I guess I'm saying that I'm taking a vacation! :)

Why Morrigon is so talented... I personally think it is statements such as these that are the most telling of why and how her talent will develop:



the camera can only hope to snap a memory of it



If you don't get that, then you simply are missing the big picture of most art.

So some of you might remember a picture of my tattoo where I'm looking over my shoulder. It was taken back in 1993 by my mother. After posting it on facebook, a very old friend of mine who draws a comic asked if he could use it as an inspiritation for one of his characters.



This is what he posted this morning:







This picture was inspired by a friend of mine... Thanks for providing the empowered strength, charisma, and aura of a female athlete (I STILL say that picture belongs in a Nike poster).



And I have no words at the moment for how deep this compliment goes, or how in my own eyes- I have never seen myself in this type of light. It is a new perception, and I am grateful for it.

I'm hiding my nipples from the red band of death



O.o

I was told that I am a cross between Wednesday Addams and Hermione Granger.



I like it, it amuses me greatly...

Long day tomorrow... coaching from 7am-5pm. :( Originally it was going to be 7-2ish but now I'm driving a motor boat all day. hopefully it's not too over cast/ or too sunny. If it rains I have mustang suit to keep me all toasty and dry... now I just simply have to get some rest.



O.o



I saw transformers tonight. Awesome movie, but then again I'm a fan of blowing shit up to put it down to the most technical of terms. Gah, too tired can't type or think.



It's nini time...

*gags*



Seriously my dog's ass stinks tonight, and the bugger has laid down right in front of the window so the wind is drafting the smell right to me.



I have so much to do today- so much to catch up on, and with how busy the past week has been- I will do nothing tonight except goto bed early. Sleep lots and then start tomorrow with hopefully more energy to get more done.



It is very nice to have the absolute quiet, the animals curled up all in my bedroom and the fresh air. The last bits of daylight reflect on the soft silver blue that I pained my room, it is soothing in an unexpectedly bright manner. Though there is still more to do, just being right now is enough. Till tomorrow, goodnight.
