A Message To All The Dead Beat Dads....


So many of us have been cursed with dead beat dads.  Have you ever wondered what they think of on Father's Day?  I know the easy answer is that POS fathers don't think about things like that.  But I tend to disagree.  I wonder if they think of the effect they had on the children they left behind.  I wonder if Father's Day is a day of misery for men who can't handle their responsibilities...

I have had a dog for the past 14 years.  I love that crazy animal so much.  I spoil her rotten & I always put her at the front of my mind when making plans.  I can't leave Lex dog alone too long & I have to make time to walk her!  I forgot to fill her water bowl the other day & felt like a complete loser at life for hours.  She was thirsty!  How could I forget one of the easiest tasks I have in being mommy to a furbaby?

So I can't help but wonder what men who walk away from their children feel today?  Do they feel shame?  Do they feel remorse?  I beat myself up for an entire day for forgetting Lexdog's water.  I cannot imagine walking away from a child. Just be a man.  If you are old enough to procreate, then stick to your responsibilities.

Happy Father's Day to all the men who do the right thing!  My father is AWESOME! Don is always there for me....  That's the funny thing about step-parents.  The ones who love you are the best because they didn't have to.  My sweet dad paid for my hospital bills when I annihilated my leg.  He bought me my car.  He paid for me to go to the University Of Alabama.  Most importantly, I could call him any time of the day or night and he's there. 

I have an awesome dad.  We don't share blood lines but we share our lives.  Most importantly, I'm so lucky a man stepped up to the responsibilities that just another dead beat dad couldn't do.  Men, take care of your children.

I SURE DO LOVE YOU, DON!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he suffered a severe ne

Iron Bowl Problems

F or the last month, I've been struggling with a really difficult life decision.  I'm not talking about where to plan my next vacation or what color to paint my kitchen, y'all.  This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than that....  See, I am the proud owner of a couple of Iron Bowl tickets & I've been really torn about what I should do with them.  Before you roll your eyes and label this a first world problem, hear me out & you'll understand why it's been so hard deciding should I stay or should I go. Reason #1 I really hate Auburn, y'all.  This is not your typical run of the mill kinda hate either.  I despise everything about them.  I hate their fans.  They're truly the most annoying fanbase in all of college football.  I hate the way they not only think God is a football fan but he is, in fact, an auburn fan.  I hate the way they make signs saying things like, "God Thing" while guzzling bourbon and cursing at opposing fanbases.  I hate that t

Rammer Jammer~A Video Diary

H ave you ever been around that snotty nosed kid that won't accept not getting their way?  You know the one I'm talking about.  The little brat that puts his fingers in his ears while screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".  Imagine about 200 of those little assholes in head to toe orange and blue.  But instead of the 'I can't hear you' mantra, they manage to come up with something even more annoying.  The auburn fight song. Yep.  This happened Saturday night, y'all.  I have clocked 5 years experience sitting next to the visiting band.  It isn't always easy but I really do love my section.  Plus, sometimes you get to score awesome pictures like this: Ironically, with 00:01 left on the clock, about 100,000 of my closest friends and I celebrated a much deserved win over our in-state rival.  Kids, I'm telling ya....  After suffering thru 2010 & 2013, the look of relief on my face would be virtually impossible to dupli
