I haven't done one of these in a while so I figured I will tell what has been going on. Been a pretty good summer so far, although a crazy one. I have been working out today, and if you know me, you know that is crazy. I have been running about 2 miles a day and doing situps and pushups trying to get in the best possible shape I can get in. If you are thinking about getting in shape, do it for yourself. I only drink water and have dropped a lot of weight because of it. I have also been watching a lot of World Cup, even though the US lost to Ghana. Soccer could really be popular if the World Cup was every year, but that just isn't going to happen. I feel sorry for Landon Donovan the most. He might not be on the team in 4 years, and he is clearly the best soccer player of all time in the US. On the personal side, I have been just chillin and seeing what is going to happen with rest of the summer. It is hard to wait, but I know it will be worth it in the long run. I have to take a test for my Masters in the morning so that should be interesting since I have no clue what will be on it! ha I am a pretty good test taker so I'm not too worried. This is my last week of Summer 1 and now I have only 1 class to finish up my masters. Also, I might try to apply to be the new AD at Greenup County Schools, so that is pretty exciting. Well, thought I would update a little bit on what is going on, and I am sure you probably don't care, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. One more thing, I love games but is it fun playing them when you don't feel like you have a chance of winning them? Something to think about. Talk to you next time!! Go Big Blue!!

Had a nice uneventful trip to Pikeville this morning. That is until I received about 10 text messages about Marc Maggard tweeting about me this morning. Seems Mr. Maggard doesnt really care who I am. His feelings must have changed since I broke the Payne story. I know for a fact he and his minions were on the hunt for me and that came from at least 4 different people. It is cool Marc, Im not mad atcha!! I am just glad you read the site!! I don't guess you are anybody until MM tweets about you. Well, after I got to Pikeville, I met Bart Williams and Denny Paul May for lunch at Quizno's. Bart is the head boys basketball coach at Pikeville High School and Denny Paul is his assistant. One reason I came down earlier than I had planned was to help Bart out in a Jr High team camp and officiate a little bit. Well, that didnt work out because officials showed up so I ended up missing out on a little extra cash. So, I went and watched Bart's 2 boys play little league and I almost melted. So then, I had to get back for my online master's class and couldn't do that either. The format had changed and I couldn't figure out how to get to my class. I have been on a roll today!! Now I am watching the Celtics and Lakers, and it isnt looking very good for the Celts right now. Doesn't matter though, the game won't start until the last 5 minutes anyway. That has pretty much been my day. Plan on going to Jenkins tomorrow and hanging out with my crew over there. Still have a lot on my mind, and if you knew the situation, you wouldn't blame me. Patience is a virtue. Just wish I could master it. Well, I am outta here, might post tomorrow if I am able. I doubt it though. ha Until next time. Go Big Blue!

Well, I guess as everyone knows I have been having an already crazy summer. I have already watched the Hangover 15 times and I would love to go to Vegas. Downloaded Live Your Life by TI featuring Rihanna because I loved when they walked into the Villa at Caesars Palace. I think I need Vegas and it needs me. I guess I am going to get out of town this week so I can just get the hell out of here. Putting distance between a situation will be a help, and I have alot of friends I havent seen in a while. I don't guess many people would look forward to a trip to Jenkins and Pikeville but I can't wait. It is definitely not Vegas, but it will be PikeVegas for me this week. Just hope I don't end up in the Hampton Inn passed out and then Jail. Maybe if I coached at Kentucky it would be ok,ha. So, I have college class tonight and tomorrow night, trying to finish up my masters this summer. I don't mind the chats, it is a lot better than going to an actual classroom. I am pretty good at taking over the chats, changing the conversation when at all possible. I am sure some of the older students get upset, but so what!! I am going to try to type a little about what is going on in my life in this blog as much as possible. Sort of my own journal I guess. Might not be the best grammar, spelling, etc. but you don't have to read it!! I am finding out more everyday I need a release and typing has become my thing. One more thing, I have decided I am not going to coach basketball in the upcoming season. Too much going on with my family, personal life, and I guess just life in general to take a chance on a new coaching situation. Well, I am wrapping this up; chill out as much as possible, and just try to get some more rest. Talk to you later.

Larry Bird is my favorite player of all time. He is just unbelievable. You never hear anyone comparing a player to Larry, it is just impossible to do. I always think about this when people compare Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan. Bird is in his own category. Watch the videos below and see why there will never be another Larry Bird.
