NFL DraftThe draft the smaller weekend marathon was on We watched with excitement team by team The New York Jets got a first round pick D1, 6: Vernon Gholston , DE, Ohio State Chris was thrilled!!!! But where were the Washington Redskins ? Washington had traded the 21st overall pick in the draft to the Atlanta Falcons for a pair of second-round picks, at No. 34 and 48. They already had their own second-rounder, at No. 51 "On Saturday, Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell got what Tennessee's Vince Young didn't," Kiper wrote on ESPN. "With three second-round picks, the Redskins were able to get two wide receivers [Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly] and USC tight end Fred Davis...They gave their quarterback some much-needed weapons in the passing game." I was extremely happy I am thinking the Skins could do quite well this year So much for Gibbs tenure. I was happy when he came back but as time grew so did my distaste for him,when he decided to retire it was intense to wait for the name of the new coach and we got Jim Zorn On Sunday where were the Jets? OMG they traded away a spot !!!!! Chris was befuddled I was like they do this all the time what for. The Redskins have selected players who add solid depth to the team--but could also emerge as starters in a year or two so in Round 3 they selected offensive tackle/guard Chad Rinehart, in the 4th round selected offensive tackle/guard Chad Rinehart, 6th round selected punter Durant Brooks,defensive back Kareem Moore & quarterback Colt Brennan. In the 7th round they selected DE Rob Jackson and then defensive back Chris Horton. 10 picks Fantastic !!!!!! The Jets select cornerback Dwight Lowery in the 4th round, QB Eric Ainge in the 5th, WR Marcus Henry in the 6th round and in the 7th round OT Nate Garner Chris was less than thrilled with most of the picks and what they had done trading picks but 6 picks OMG!!! We shall see what happens comes August and then we will see how they make out Thursday is terrific :-)Well he absolutely loved the sight Today I felt so good about it I invited a bunch of friends to view it and I hope you liked it I had worked extremely hard on it as god knows I have plenty of time to do this kind of thing Maybe I should do it as a side project that would be great if everyone would ask give me something to do Played pogo with Ann last night it was fun we had not seen each other for a few days and I told her what I was doing that my fingers hurt and should I really be playing http://www.pogo.com Today I just didn't took a peek to see what was up and then decided to check out facebook It's okay through my name up and a little bit of info and left it at that It's a boring application and not a lot going on and I really cannot see getting into my space it seems childish at best but I did see a page that Mom sent me and I have the link www.myspace.com/babanchinesemusic as well as www.myspace.com/chinesepipa do check them out Well let me run going to get the airline tickets for our trip in August HOT HOT HOT Florida Stars As a child I wondered what was meant by twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are
Now that I am older and wiser I realize that the little twinkling star was anything you imagined it to be I have 3 of those twinkling stars and they each have a very special meaning to me The brightest is my Dads my hero my guiding force through the years he asked of me 1 thing Please take care of your Mother simple yet determined but even in death he wanted his love safe and secure The next brightest is my sister Denise she was a wonderful gentle being who deserved better than what she had God did not frown upon her for she had a little girl whom she adored Time would take her from us much too early
I still detest some things that should have been done to prevent her early demise but I keep these thoughts within my heart and soul for if I were to bear them I would lose some of those I love dearly and others who I do not The last is my sister Debbie the oldest of us 4 all girls all named with a D She was clever kind and stubborn she possessed an inner beauty and the greatest smile, she laughed at those that tried foolishly to get under her skin She was the mother of 4 children and gave her heart and soul for them and they are all adults now with their own passions I think of them often and wished I had another day with them but time has forgotten how to give and love yearns eternal TearsMy parents met on the garden State parkway at a fuel station my Dad pumped gas and Mom worked as a nurse in Newark St James hospital They dated for a while and Dad said at first Grand pop didn't think to highly of him but they were married on August 11 1955 First a little bundle of joy named Deborah came into the world then myself and 2 other girls Dad had a harem they named us all with the letter D 4 little girls dad was so proud and Mom well if she gave you a bun in your hair man you felt like you had a face lift and your eyes were pulled back We all did well with our lives some better than others but we all managed to find our own way For some it was children for others a career and for some reason I waited the longest and met the most wonderful man and am I glad I did it's funny but we get along so well it's like we've known each other forever or could it be that God intended this for us We have endured a lot of tragedy since our first date but have overcome it by leaning on each other for guidance and love We have overcome a lot of personal tragedies and our uphill battle against disability and depression I think I finally have a new direction in life but to attain it I need to overcome my disability and gain a new knowledge of becoming myself again and striving for the excellence I once knew with his help I know I can balance this and live a more productive existence Deb She was born July 28 1957 and the first of 4 beautiful girls She was a normal child challenging everything she could attaining excellence she had a real need for knowledge smart but witty and well balanced She went to college and tried but failed to finish as her heart meant more than a career and she married the wrong man for he left her with 4 children because he was not what she envisioned and this stung her terribly We managed and helped always knowing that it would be hard but we survived We took a family trip to Disney world it was fun but hectic but something the children needed we all had to pitch in and we did There were fun times and angry times but laugh we did especially when Mom thought Michael got his head stuck in the fence bars what a riot he had fallen over the small fence because he was not listening he was to excited to get on the mad hatters Tea cup ride Spin we did faster and faster round and round they laughed so hard but when they got off of the ride the adults laughed uncontrollably She met another man and this time it was a new and different life a man who cared gave and never took from her she loved him and so did her children he was what they needed to love and be loved I don't know why nor can I grasp death it hurts but the wound eventually heals knowing it's something that happens in our everyday lives is no consolation to the remnants left behind the shattered hearts the motherless children the broken parents Mom and dad said goodbye in their own way and I know she heard them This happened February 13 1999 Valentines day would never be the same SorrowsShe was born October 9 1960 and was the giddy girl who gracefully danced on the cafeteria table stuck a red and green crayon up her nose and tried on Moms glass cranberry bowl and panicked when it would not come off She grew into a loving and kind person giving too much of herself not allowing the fear of the unknown to flaunt itself she was just determined and eventually would overcome her greatest obstacle She met and married and older man but I guess the 7 year itch did and he scratched it would later be found that her best friend was doing the scratching and this hurt worse then what he had done being untruthful disguising his love for her  It would be a long time before she would marry Something good came of this bond a child the obstacle she had overcome they said she would never but she did her pride and joy who she got to enjoy but for 2 short years I cried it seemed like forever She also died of brain aneurysm at the age of 42 how scared I was when I was to turn 42 always watching and waiting for a sign Thankfully this never came to pass for me nor my other sibling I can't rest not knowing what fears may be hiding in the children left behind |
