Billy The Kid

Henry McCarty(November 23, 1859-July 14,1881), better known as Billy the Kid, but also known by the aliases William Antrim and William Harrison Bonney, was a famous 19th century American frontier outlaw and gunman who was a participant in the Lincoln County War. According to legend he killed 21 men, one for each year of his life.
McCarty was 5'8-5'9 with blue eyes, smooth cheeks, and prominent teeth. He was said to be friendly and personable at times, but he could also be short-tempered and determined. This made him a very dangerous outlaw, when combined with his shooting skills and cunning. He was also famous for(apparently) always wearing a sugarloaf sombrero hat with a wide green decorative band. He was little known in his own lifetime but was catapulted into legend in the year after his death when his killer, Sheriff Patrick Garrett, published a wildly sensationalistic biography of him called "The Authentic Life of Billey, the Kid". Beginning with Garrett's account, Billy the Kid grew into a symbolic figure of the American Old West.

Billy the Kid shot his gun left handed.

You HAVE to see this, you won't regret it....

Amazing, 15 laterals and 7 players with 2 seconds left in the game and got the winning touchdown. I don't know if it is just a miracle or the other team just stood there and not do anything. But still, it is unbelievable. You are going to like this. Trinity University in Texas. It was on the national news today.

Gain 10 pounds this Christmas?....Not this time!

Last year during Christmas, I gained a full 10 pounds in a week and never could get it off all year long. I don't want that to happen again this year. So, I am thinking of many things to do to control my eating habits and things I can do to maintain my weight this Christmas. This year for Christmas, I asked Santa Claus for a Weider cable weight system(the one in the picture above). Mostly in the winter, I should spend a lot of time on weights to get stronger before the bike season begins next spring. Also to get some fresh air and stay in shape during the winter, I decided what to do is go to Fairview Canyon every weekend and snowshoe all over the place, hike, climb hills on the snowy hills along the skyline will keep my heart pumping and keep me happy during all those depressing winter months. I only downhill ski like 4 times a winter at a ski resort so that means I have to look for something else to do that is closer to home because it is so far away and so expensive. I tried cross country skiing one year and I didn't like it, then I tried snowshoeing, and really enjoyed it. Also, you can take a date snowshoeing because it is easy.....and fun. Well, I got Redfeather snowshoes and they are only good for walking and hiking up hills, not running. If you want to run, you have to get special snowshoes for running. I don't like to run anyway, so I am good, hiking up hills is funner, you get a better view at the top of the hill anyways.

TV Man...

Ever since fall started and summer ended, all these new shows started to come in, so now I watch like an hour a day of tv every night. Mon.- Heroes Tues.- Cavemen, Carpoolers Wed.- will be Lost but start that in Feb. Thurs.- My Name Is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office Fri. (break) Saturday- rent a movie Sun.- Desperate Housewives (with mom) So, that is my tv schedule just in case you want to know. Those are the shows I enjoy. Sorry dad, Tony, and Mike, no sports. I just don't have any interest in sports except when the Jazz is in the playoffs, or the Superbowl. I am kind of like Rob except he watches Grey's Anomaty(I hate that show!). Yes, one movie a week is good enough exept when there is some good movie on cable I might watch(last Thursday, I watched "Bride of Chucky" on Sci Fi.) So, I watch the average 7 hours of tv per week. I don't know if that is bad or not. My favorite show has got to be "The Office".

Such hard choices....

I got thinking, if I ever get a girlfriend or a wife and then she says, "The dog goes or I go" or "either the bike goes or I go". I don't know, those would be the hardest choices I would make in life. I don't think I can answer that, I am going to have to think about that in 30 years or so. I just pray that my wife in the future doesn't say such things, ever.

Being caffeinated kills....

I went to my nurse today and told her that I have been staying away from Rockstar, Monster energy drinks because of the caffeine. She said that stuff would work the opposite as my medicine works. It would just make the medicine for my mental illness not work, she said it would just go backwards. No kidding, every time I drink that stuff, my head would just go wired and I can't think clearly. It has so much caffeine(40mg) in a can. For the past few weeks not drinking any of that stuff, I can tell a great big difference, my head has been feeling better and I can think more clearly. My brain feels more calm. My nurse also said when people try to quit drinking caffeine, after 3-5 days not drinking any, they suffer a hell of a headache and sometimes have to go to the hospital. It is a serious addiction, like Coke, Mountain Dew, Energy drinks can be really addictive and is not good for the brain. It is also hard to stop drinking it too, I had a hard time staying away from those Monster drinks and drinking milk and friut punch instead works really well. My last drink was at Grandma's and I had a big caffeine headache and my mind was so wired that I was about to explode. The drink before that was drinking one of those big 32 ounce Monster drink while walking out of Kents, the carpet guy that did our carpet was walking towards me and said, "those things will kill you!" From then on, I stopped drinking those. I used to drink a monster drink like 1-2 times a week and now I am not drinking any. I feel sober. That is probably why my happy pills were kicking in pretty good once a while and beware of me being so happy and can put in Enya music videos in my blog.

Special Kitty and Special Doggy...

About 4 months ago, Sandy was chasing Jasper Belle around and Jasper Belle was clawing at Sandy. Now, they are sleeping together, never thought the day would come. I am glad they are best friends now.
