Do You Recognize Your Linemen/Linewomen..

I loved... sports in high school, and football was one of my favorites. There was just something unexplainable about being a member of a team and one of the running backs that carried the ball tucked deeply in my chest and breaking through the scrimmage line after your teammates and the larger guys on the line had forcefully created a place for me to run through the line (most of the times). It did not take long to recognize who your best friends really were when you attempted to run through a hole in the line that was created by a group of guys on your team that had the same goal in mind to score a touchdown or advance as far forward as possible with the ground game to get a first down or reach the ultimate goal of a touchdown against the opposition that was doing everything possible to move you and your team backwards and always attempted to take that ball away.
In life..I have learned that there are people in our lives that act as linemen/line women that create big and tiny cracks for us to advance forward in our lives. Sometimes they go unrecognized by the people they sacrifice so much for. These people (Linemen/Line women) ask for so little, sometimes nothing in return except that you do your best. These people are the people that stayed up with you on those nights when you didn't know if you would make it to the next morning, these are the people that took care of you and themselves when you were being developed and created, these are the people that get up and go to work so that you could be fed and clothed with the sometimes pennies that they worked for, these folks would hustle, grind, and would endure everyday in their business establishment in making an extra penny this day when there was none made the day before, these are the people that love and loved you no matter how disrespectful or unappreciated you would sometimes be when they would ask you to do something or help out in some way that would not have required much effort on your part but you sometimes dismissed the simple request as unimportant and would not remember to do the simple task. It is these linemen/line women that created the hole in the scrimmage line that allowed you to advance forward, one, two, three yards at a time to reach the positive end in the opposing challenges. They helped you reach the goal line, to reach the touchdown, to score the points necessary to make your life more successful that helped you be and become the person you have become up until this point in your life. These linemen/line women are sometimes not recognized for who they are and what they do for you..
Do you recognize your linemen/line women? Do you show them appreciation, even if they do not or have not asked for any?

Everyone Has An Opinion, And In America They Should..

Recently, the famous movie actor and comedian Jim Carrey had a opinion about Tiger Woods' recent setback with his wife.
Jim's Tweet Quoted: "No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle." He also tweeted that; The public should back off: "Tiger owes nothing 2 anyone but himself. 2 please his father he gave up his childhood and his freedom in the world. That's enough!" End of Tweet Quote.
Jim is entitle to his opinion and I believe he is right about expressing it about a famous person like himself and Tiger Woods. We give up some privacy as famous and infamous that others will never have to worry about much because with riches sometimes comes exposure. Jim Carrey has an opinion and I believe he is not only right in expressing it, he is right in it's description as it relates to Tiger Woods and his wife.

GOP (Grand Old Party) needs to say yes more often to the peoples business.

The Grand Old Party (GOP) have given themselves a name that will stay for awhile. "The Party of NO" name will hurt them because they seem to disagree with the majority of American voters that elected President Obama to do the peoples business. In 2008 a fair and historic election, where the people decided that "Change Is Good" elected their choice to be President of the United States of America. Now that the people have decided who should be President of the United States the GOP should stop crying and pouting, then vote for somethings that will help our economy prosper and move forward. The GOP/Republicans should stop stonewalling and vote to confirm the leaders that will get the government offices and organizations up and running. A confirmation vote should by now have been brought about, after they (the Republicans) have openly held up most of the votes for the Obama Administrations candidates that should have already been confirmed and in place as leaders in our government. Yes, for the last and only sixteen months (16) that the President has been in office, the Republicans have held up confirmation hearings. I believe reasonable Americans will see how the GOP has hurt rather than helped America, and vote most of the Republicans out of office. I predict a new wave of democrats will be elected this fall and the government of the United States of America will function once more without the hate that is currently being advocated by some Republicans and the party of "NO."
