In the 1992 Summer Olympics, Great Britain’s world champion sprinter Derek Redmond was favored to medal in the 400 meter sprint. His career had been plagued with injury, including having to withdraw from the 1998 Olympics just seconds before his first heat due to an achilles injury. The 1992 Olympics looked to be his moment.

This is my body, and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I’m on. What am I on? I’m on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on? – Lance Armstrong
An Open Letter to the World’s Biggest Douchebag

I have this friend that is in a nasty battle with testicular / brain cancer. For seven months this has been going on. A orchiectomy, several rounds of chemo, then a seizure, brain surgery, maybe some radiation thrown in there just for fun. The man has been through hell and back. Yet his positive attitude is [...]
BOOM!! I blew up my blog again…
August 15, 2011 By 4 Comments
I’ve been writing on Phoenix Real Estate Guy for over six years. There are a LOT of posts there. Lots of photos. And thousands of comments. I like to tinker with the site. I tweak and twiddle, constantly shifting things about and trying new ideas. Tonight I just wanted to make a very minor styling [...]

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I [...]
On Content Theft
August 12, 2011 By 8 Comments
Over on that other blog of mine, content theft is nothing new. It’s been happening, on a regular basis, since practically Day 1. It’s annoying as hell. You work hard, try to compose witty and engaging prose, and some knucklehead comes along and steals it. Usually when this happens, I just ignore it. A full-time job [...]
Her Senior Year

In about six hours, my baby girl will walk out the door, drive away, and begin her Senior year of High School. How did that happen? I am so proud of the young woman that she’s become. She’s crazy smart, funny, endearing and has a heart the size of her birthplace (Texas). She’s a gifted [...]

Cop that just pulled me over for speeding: “Do you know how fast you were driving?” Me: 60 Cop: Do you know the speed limit here? Me: 45 Cop: And…..? Me: No excuse. Empty road, seemed safe and well, driving 60 is more fun than driving 45. Cop: I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for not [...]
On Assisted Suicide
August 7, 2011 By 10 Comments
So far everything on this shiny new blog has been pretty tame. Some would probably even say lame. Now for some heavy stuff… It’s not like I sit around thinking about things like assisted suicide on a regular basis. But every so often some event, some moment will occur that brings it to the forefront. [...]
I Like Mike

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. – Michael Jordan

Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.” – Colin Powell
