Is this 2005 again...sure feels like it.

The NFL season as a Philadelphia Eagles fan has been draining to say the season is a lost cause which is obvious.   This development isn't easy to accept the fact the Cincinnati Bengals regardless if the team wins or loses verses the Pittsburgh Steelers tomorrow this young team is here to stay.  My mother and almost everyone I know are Bengals fans...I'm used to laughing at the team as I see the team as 'comic relief.'  I'm definitely not laughing at them right now.
The Bengals of 2011 reminds me of the team that started the 2005 NFL season 4-0 to end 15 year playoff drought with an 11-5 record.  The players have changed since then and the Bengals likely won't win the AFC North division as they did in 2005 because how the Baltimore Ravens defense and Steelers playoff experience.  Why am I bringing this up about how good the Bengals can be?  This is the only 3rd time that the Philadelphia Eagles will finish with less wins than the Bengals since I became a fan in late 1995.
My personal life hasn't change at all from 2005 up to now except for being an uncle again.  My brother helped brought twins into the world (one is a boy and one is a girl).  The twins are 5 years old now.  My sister on the other had her second boy in 2008.  Her first son was born in 2004, several months before the Eagles finished the season winning the NFC East division before falling to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots dynasty.
Forecast for my Eagles look cloudy.  The Philadelphia Eagles are young in key areas in defense as the offense is lost in orbit searching for answers and firing head coach Andy Reid will not cure the ills of having great expectations that turnout to end most seasons in heartbreak.  Maybe the Eagles needed a longer off-season that no NFL team had due to the lockout, or looking at famous named players that just didn't fit into the system...I don't know which one, hopefully the Eagles will have a similar bounce back season as they did in the 2006 season.
Here is the photo of the day.

Hello New Dawn

I took pictures of Route 6 Queen City at the Mercy Franciscan Hospital for the final time.  Layover point is returning to West Towne Centre strip mall in Western Hills on Sunday.  Routes 10, 21 and 33 currently layover there.  Before taking pictures of Route 6, I took Route 39 Western Hills-Uptown for the final time before the grand opening of Metro's new Transit Hub at Glenway Crossing.  The hub is built within the Glenway Crossing Shopping Center.
When I was growing up, that was the strip mall to shop at, many people from Cincinnati, Delhi and Green Township residents helped built that place up.  The strip mall has had many changes notably the closing of former retail giant Service Merchandise 10 years ago.  I bought (tank version of) Megatron and Onslaught Transformers toys at that store years ago.  Michael's which was a prestigious art store moved from Glenway Crossing Shopping Center to the old spot at Old Navy in Western Hills Plaza.  Target retail store moved from across the street at Glencrossing Way to Western Hills Plaza as well, but almost 2 years earlier at November 2009.  Hobby Lobby is where Target was.  Former location of Hobby Lobby was demolished to expand space for Gold's Gym where the transit hub is across the street.
Route 64 Westwood-Ferguson which lays over at Glencrossing Way across the street from Izzy's is also moving to the hub along with Routes 38X Glenway Crossing-Uptown Express and 77X Delhi Express too.  Yes I did take photos of Route 64 too.
My day wasn't over yet as I walked from Glencrossing Way to Western Hills Plaza to pick up some groceries at Target.  I took photos of  Route 21 Harrison Avenue at the West Towne Centre layover even though I didn't need Sorta coach 6028.  I remembered that the layover point is being moved near The Home Depot which makes it harder for me to take pictures of buses in isosceles angles so I took photos.  The ride from Western Hills to Downtown Cincinnati wasn't bad even though the bus was replaced by an older coach at Central Parkway.
Taking route 17 Northgate was kind of a headache because the bus was extremely full of people.    If you don't know it was Sorta coach 2130.  Yes I did think about her seeing after seeing that bus as it was turning left on 9th street...I usually daydream of Yu-Gi-Oh charcters when I'm on all Sorta 4000 coaches.   I had to get of Route 17 across the street of University of Cincinnati because the bus was so full.  I had to flag the driver down to catch Route 51 Clifton-Hyde Park Crosstown to get home, since most drivers don't believe black people live in Fairview.  Thankfully, the driver who drove me home I already knew him so it wasn't a problem.
It took me an hour to upload new photos on Flickr but it was all worth it then order some good Papa John's Pizza the Double Pepperoni for me as I ordered my mother the Garden Fresh Pizza with Chicken added...Only problem with the order was that Papa John's didn't tell me that the store was out of 20 oz of Coke and Sprite too so I took the Diet Coke instead.  It was great, I'm feeling full from all of this writing.

P.S. Sorta means Southwestern Ohio Regional Transit Authority or Cincinnati Metro for short.

Signs that I should be a Duck fan again.

http://mscapsfan.tripod.com/jagr0701.html 

 Anaheim Ducks hired Bruce Boudreau as head coach after firing Randy Carlyle late last night. Boudreau was the coach of one of my former favorite teams the Washington Capitals.   I was a duck fan too, this was such a long time ago the team was called the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.  So long ago that I had an official team clock, also had Grin, Mallory and other Mighty Ducks toys not inspired by the movie series or the team, but the cartoon…tells the readers on my blog how old I am

I was a Washington Capitals fan from 1996-2003.  My love for the team soured when the team acquired Jaromir Jagr to start the 2001-02 season.  I was fed up with Jagr trying to be the next Mario Lemieux, great scorer but seemed to holding back at his time there.  In the 2002-03 seasons, I fell in love with the Tampa Bay area where I went to for Spring Break trip in 2003 in my senior year in high school.  In my hotel room I watched the Eastern Conference 1^st round series Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning playing against each other…I had mixed emotions while watching the series.  Lightning won the series in 6 games. 

I became a full time Lightning fan to start the 2003-04 season as I left the Capitals…can’t be a fan of two teams in the Southeast Division.  Lightning went on to win the Stanley Cup Final verses the Calgary Flames in a physical epic of a 7 game series to end the season.  I’m still a fan of the Lightning today in spite the logo looks like the same lightning bolt and movement of negative space reminds me of “Static Shock” the series…ironically ended in 2004. 

I was a fan of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks from 1995-2000 watching my favorite duo Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya played together was a treat for me.  Watching the cartoon series and the team was owned by Disney, even though I love almost everything from Disney I thought it was a sign that I had to grow up…but I did watch the Ducks in teams unprecedented run to the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the New Jersey Devils in 6 games.  The Ducks changed their names and uniforms before the start of the 2006-07 season made me want to jump back into the pond and become a fan again.  The Ducks went on to win Stanley Cup Final verses the Ottawa Senators in 5 games at the end of the season.

I was very happy the Ducks won the cup, but I wasn’t quite back as I was still a Vancouver Canucks fan.  I was a fan of the Canucks from 1997-2011.  I was a fan of the Canucks because mark Messier was one of my favorite players I like to watch even though he helped the New York Rangers win the cup in 1994. I left the Canucks following the loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final due to the riots that broke out…really upset me a big deal.

Here are my newest photos of the day I took by cell phone below today.

Hello to the last day of November...which means there are 31 days left of 2011.  This year has gone by slowly. If I had a woman right now, this would be the poem to make her weak in the knees.

Pillow Fingers

I see you…I want to see you and I really want to show you that I’m here longing for a special person to hold on to my pillow fingers

Your smile makes me red like Charlie Brown does when he sees that Red Haired girl he always long to see but never had the heart to talk to her

My eyes say your dimples make me want to pinch your face with my pillow fingers you’re your grandmother does and say, “Oohh…you are so scrumptious I could eat you up.”

Seeing you make my heart sing some love songs deep inside that I couldn’t do with anyone else until I met you…you thought I was special.

I never thought I would be special to anyone, especially a woman who wants to date me.

Your jokes and lively spirit is just too hard for my heart to ignore when I really want to hold your fingers which feels like a pillow…but my heart is nervous of tripping up on a stray power line and electrocuting myself by making a mistake.

I’m not supposed to think of a person in my distant past, but you remind me of a friend I really like…she had dark hair which was cut short, shares the zodiac sign of the bull as you do and for any kid who made fun of me, she stood up for me until she moved away.

My eyes say you are very lovely…with your key to my heart as very few people were able to reach me from living in my head as you do as I’m holding you pillow fingers.

My eyes tell me you have beautiful dark brown eyes

My eyes says you have dark long curly hair that you straighten to impress your girlfriends…I love straight hair too, but most people in the world have curly hair as you and I do so I shouldn’t care.

My eyes say that you have broad shoulders…My shoulders are as broad like Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis.

My eyes say you have meaty calves…well I have big handsome calves myself so I can laugh about it.

My heart says you have a slender body but have a big heart to see a man I’m trying to be  My eyes says you have a nice butt, your eyes says my but is bigger than yours as your pillow fingers want to play hand flirting.

My eyes says I don’t have an attracted chest…but you still want to be with me as I crave kissing and caressing you cinnamon bun sized firm juicy breasts after as I hold your pillow fingers longing for you to open up your peach yogurt like vagina to me as you unzip your pants and I unzip mine longing to make sweet and sour rough love to you as I hold your beautiful face as you lay on to your pillow.

You care for me like a baby sometimes, you love me in spite my mental disability and that is the love that I should have been seeking instead of getting lost in fashion trends on US weekly magazine getting lost in finding a woman who wants to hold my pillow fingers.

My eyes says stop seeing the world as a fantasy and understand that all in the women on Earth and only one person opened the key to experience real love and that woman is you…I want to hold your pillow fingers on my hand for the duration of my life as the shot clock of life expires every second as I yearn to hold on to your pillow fingers and making love to you again because I love you. 

 I was inspired about feeling that I have super powers because my new cell phone.

The battle I felt like King Arthur.

I was searching for a right handed sword to compliment my left handed sword would give me the power to defeat any foe like Talpa in the earthy feel of the forest like Robin Hood.

The spirit of the will to fight was within but the sword seemed to have a dip below the handle from a long battle

The sword broke at the spot after minutes of battle made me feel blue like the Blue Guys and having to search for another sword…wondering if I could find a sword strong enough to help me when another fight comes to me

I met off with a blacksmith who would fix my sword…it was fixed like a modern knife, but the bill had me feeling like I was chocking on a chicken drumstick

The next fight took me far from the depths of the forest to the inner smog of the city as people were running in fear of the unknown was coming…I was fully ready until the blacksmith warned me by pager that the tip of the knife was dull and can’t take up too much power…but I learned that fact long after another fight started

Agility, skill and finesse helped me win this grueling battle with another warlord but like the first sword I had not only broke at the middle, but both swords this time were shattered to pieces as I looked with gasp, what can I do have a knife inserted in my wrist like Wolverine to fight…funny but no

Off to see the blacksmith and hopefully I can get a refund for the shattered sword has me wondering are my “saving the day” days are coming to a shattered end?

Took photo of Sorta coach 9051 using my new cell phone which is a Samsung...see how crisp this photo is compared to the older one below, wow!! 

Took this photo of Sorta coach 9051 using a Nokia in July 2011...updated photo of coach is above. 

Coyote eyes hunt for redemption.

 I was so bored of how the Alabama @ Auburn college football game I watched became a blowout I did a search on art work and photos of celebrities.  
Maybe the experience I had daydreaming about single women around here is a sign of being sexually frustrated and mentally lonely but the hopes to stride in a long term relationship with anyone even though I didn't handle it in any good fashion almost 3 years ago.   I usually like to know what I'm in for when it comes to accommodating the emotional needs of the other person who would like to spend some time with me.  It's part of getting too close to a person is the reason I really don't want to pour my heart for a woman who would be only around for 2 months or the person likes me but not in a romantic way.

I feel like a coyote hunting for redeeming myself stop selling myself short like so many people have said about Shaq and people who think I have too.
Speaking of Shaq...welcome back NBA, see you on Christmas!
