Too bad I can't make myself invisble. Sometimes I would like to.

Taekwondo Technique - the Sidekick

A Taekwondo technique that is very powerful yet one I have seldom seen in the mixed martial arts arena is the sidekick. This kick is executed by pulling the knee into the chest and thrusting the leg out to the side. It is powerful kick that can crush the ribs or knock the breath out of an opponent. For more details on how to perform a sidekick and additional Taekwondo resources check out How to Perform a Sidekick

New Day for Egypt

With the president of Egypt stepping down, it appears that politically a new day has dawned for the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, the looming question is what kind of leadership will fill the vacuum left by the former president. Will the Egyptian people who have so vehemently demanded the oust of their leader demand democracy and freedom or will they settle for something less. The world is anxiously watching to see the route the Egyptian people will choose, particularly the United States and Israel.




It appears that one of the concerns is that the Muslim Brotherhood may gain control of power. There are fears that the Brotherhood could foster a radical agenda that will not bode well for Israel, the United States or for the rest of the world for that matter. The chance that the Muslim Brotherhood may gain power poses a question that only time will tell the answer, do the people of Egypt who have filled the streets and the TV screens around the world demanding change for their country want to embrace a political group that could possibly put Egypt under the oppression of radical Islam.

Snowing in Blue Ridge

It is 12:46 am, February 10th, and the ground is white once more. old man winter is making another deposit of the white stuff that so many people I talk to are sick of, snow. It is 28.9 degrees, so most of the snow could possibly stick on the ground. Maybe another day lost for the Fannin County School system, maybe another lost day of work for me, who knows? Anyways, it is pretty coming down and makes for a beautiful landscape. Call me crazy, but I like it!

Best Tire Shop in Blue Ridge, Georgia

What is the best tire shop in Blue Ridge, Georgia? My not so humble opinion is Nicholson's Tire, located on highway five between Blue Ridge and McCaysville near West Fannin Junior High School and Fannin Regional hospital. Why do I recommend Nicholson Tire? The main reason I recommend Nicholson's is because of trust. I have found the boys out at Nicholson Tire to be honest folks to to do business with. In addition to being honest, Nicholson's have been in the tire business for years, they know their tires. On top of being honest and knowing their tires, Nicholson's Tire provides great, friendly customer service. So if you are looking for tires in the Blue Ridge area, go see the friendly staff of Nicholson's Tire shop.
Disclaimer: Nicholson's did not pay me for this post, I just like doing business with them and they have always treated me right.

Valentines Day Ideas

Still struggling with what to do for your sweetie on Valentine's Day. Here is a poem I composed that will work for a guy or a girl. While it is good if you can compose your on poem, if you are not poetic do the next best thing, use a poem someone else has written that best expresses your feelings. The following is a poem I wrote especially for Valentines Day, feel free to use it.


For My Love


Valentines is that special day
When we wrestle with the words to say
To express our love to that special soul
That has rescued our hearts from the cold
And lit a fire within our being
And gave our lips a song to sing
A love song of our souls delight
Of the passion that burns in the night
A love song to you, who loves so fine
Who has given your heart and stolen mine

A friend sent me this in an email, I do not know the validity of the info, but I know it make sense to be aware that we live in a dangerous world with unscrupulous individuals who have no regard for human life.
 A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF MISSISSIPPI ,


 JACKSON , MS ..

 SITUATION...
 ...

 While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of  thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....   "There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now  plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their
 vehicle and get out of the car.

 "There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department  where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in  it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.  "Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too. 
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 911 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT
 DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN. "IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO  NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION  UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME  A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS. THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.  THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."  Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe. SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.

The+Compelling+Majesty+of+His+Power

The+Compelling+Majesty+of+His+Power I love this post from Oswald Chamber's daily devotional book. " My Utmost for His Highest". If believers could just be compelled by the love of Christ instead of love of self, what a difference they could make in this world. They would be the city on a hill that Jesus mentioned in the "Sermon on the Mount". Take the time to read the devotional for today.
