That's Atlanta for ya....they do not know how to close games. Don't help either when your coach is Mike Smith that thinks every single play should be a pass. He got out coached bad in this game, as predicted.

The Falcons cannot win with an aggressive team that punches them in the mouth. If Matt Ryan had won that game, the monkey would have been lifted from his back, now it jumped right back on with a tighter grip.

You are right southwest. He did not deliver in the second half of the game at all. Too many people do not deliver lately IMO though in big games. Sigh.

Have you ever heard the Wailing Souls? If you like Marley, they would be right up your alley. Michael Prophet is another good choice. I don't know Reggae that well, I picked up on those by accident a few years back.

Marley's son Steven is a fantastic guitarist and singer.

I'll check them out - thanks.

Latin eh? Carpe diem? The original source for this Latin phrase is the lyric poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC – 8 BC), more widely known as Horace. The term is first found in Odes Book I:

"Dum loquimur, fugerit invida

Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" which translates as: "While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future." Okay, I got nothing. Ha! Ha!

my dad recently had a minor knock to the back of the head and it caused a brain bleed. If you have persistent headaches see a doctor!

Oh wow that is scary. Main reason I haven't went to the doctor is I can't afford it, but if it's still bad by Thursday I will do what I can to check it out.

Yeah Bogie don't let this go if the headaches keep going even if you don't think it is related to the accident and is the usual sinuses/migraines.

Hey Chad what did you dress up as?

As Raj from Big Bang Theory!!! !!! Yep, I was a nerd, much like my occupation, easy to pull it off

LOL!!!!! That is so awesome, love that show. Sheldon cracks me up

I listened to Motley Crue's "Shout At The Devil" album on CD, vinyl, & cassette once & they all sounded completely different even though they were the same arrangements note for note. It's like claiming that a studio recording & a live recording of the same material is identical. It's not. 

Shout at the devil!!!!!! Love it.

I still buy CD's too, probably will for the rest of my life. They're so cheap now, you can rack up on old albums. 

True that, cds are getting so much cheaper in recent years you can pick some up at times more easily then the old days.

A few were more expensive though like when I got the New Order "Substance" album.

Send me what you want Jules and I'll make you a banner. 

OMG, I will have to think this over. I wonder what I should use? Whooo hooooo. Thanks. I have to sleep on this probably too. 

That's fine, take your time. I have the dimensions of the cover written in my notebook, so I can make some. They are like Facebook covers but slightly smaller. I made some for some friends on there last year, so I don't have a problem doing graphic work for you. 

Did you ever catch a TV show called Jazz Scene USA from the 1960's? I don't know if the show was broadcast in America or Europe, but ever since I seen this clip of Barney Kessel on there, I've been so curious

I can't recall that show. It's been a very long time and a few years of abusing my body makes it hard to remember some things! lol

Bogie- I looked up Jazz Scene USA and found out it was a US TV show from 1962. It was a Steve Allen production and made 26 shows. There are some of those avalible on DVD.

I love me some Warren Moon! He never gets the props he deserves IMO. But, if it comes down to Warren Moon or a Colts SB, I ride with the Colts everytime.

Warren is one of the best all time in my book, and yeah he never gets the credit he deserves. Put him in the league today with all these rules and he'd have Brees stats, probably even better.

Where is my like button!

Unbelievable...Boston gave up 72 points in the first half. 

Down by 40 points 

And no, I don't pity them for being a historic team and the "worst beat down at home in the playoffs" tear jerker fest. They get no pity from me. It's like when people cry over Pittsburgh's historic home losses, who cares? Look how many championships these teams have. 

Dude.......Lebron for MVP.

NOW.

LeBron didn't even finish for MVP in the awards. It's going to be Westbrook, Leonard or Harden. Talk about a f'ing tragedy when LeBron is a killing machine in the post season. 

BUT THE SAINTS SUCK. AND THEY RAN A BOUNTY.

Sorry I had to.  

But, you still never had "the collapse" so the Falcons got the biggest eggs on their faces of all time here.

And yeah I am sick of hearing about play calling too.

Also one more thing I heard some saying HOW COULD THEY BEAT ATLANTA, the same ATLANTA WHO BLEW OUT THE PACKERS.

No it's true, people are still fawning all over the Packers as if Atlanta beat "God."

It's true though, the Packers fetish will gear up again I bet for another year of breaking our hearts. Unless they can somehow clinch homefield advantage and then everything goes their way.

The Patriots will be the team to beat until Brady and Belichick retire, they really always have been since 2001 after they won their first SB. That team could have 10 SB Titles had it not been for Eli's Giants stopping them twice and 3 of Peyton's teams stopping them. I wonder if Falcons fans are ready to jump off a cliff yet? Up 25 points and cant close, SB Rings don't grow on trees. I am not sure what is worse, the way Seattle lost 2 years ago or the way the Falcons lost.

Congrats on the new additions to your family Bogie. Are you gonna name 1 of them ole 'blue eyes' in honor of Frank Sinatra? 

No thats not my real cat, kinda wish it was though. Thats a heap of fluff I could have a lot of fun with. I used to have a real fluffy cat for many many years who died a 4 years ago. She was pushing 20 years old though. Her name was Tiffany.

Bogie has new kittens that are cute as hell. One is a little fatty too!!!

Age 20 for a cat is remarkable actually. Sorry you lost Tiffany Jules. Yeah, that cat on the printer looked like she owned her domain that's for sure. We don't train pets; they train us as you already know. 

* and pneumonia here.

3 days of Spring so far and I had 2 bad break outs yesterday and so far today my throat is draining. I would rather go back to winter. Barely ever get cold weather when you live in the south near the beach.

Sorry about the nose bleeds, red eyes, sore throats & pneumonia everybody. He's hoping more enjoyable days are ahead for one & all my friends. It's snowing outside in WI right now too. Major bummer.

Will walk around freaking out over a halftime score or something......ugh.......

then go online and say to you "ZOMG YOU SEE THAT SEE THAT YOU WERE RIGHT ZOMG."

Okay I am going to try and sleep now....finally.

I do the same thing, check the scores on my phone. Most I use the phone during the season.

HUGE thanks for that link Nadine, oh boy does that bring back memories. The AOL discs, dial up...Used to play Doom, Starcraft and Diablo with the CD, never would have dreamed out day computer games would be playable without the disc.

Great stuff!

I remember the Johnny Cash rant on Johnny Cash courtesy of Beavis & Butthead or their Star Trek Next Generation infamous line between the caption & his 1st officer in command of the enterprise Bogie. "#1 go take a #2." LOL!

lol I was at a wedding tonight where the DJ played, "Sugar, Sugar" and was telling my husband that I haven't heard that song for ages.

LOL nice one!

Yummy Yummy, bubble gum song for today's victory!

Very cool, I am saving all of this.

They have a few really good records worth checking out. "A Kiss In The Dreamhouse" was their experimental one.

This band definitely has it's own vibe, aura, & sound. Thanks for expanding my horizons again Bogie. Keep doing it.

Steve Buscemi is Buddy Holly as the water....in Reservoir Dogs he had the infamous speech about not tipping waiters.

Ah man, they screwed up my order & somebody else received my blueberry pancakes by mistake Bogie. Major bummer.

About 15 minutes from my house there used to be a 50's restaurant called RPM's with the best burgers & strawberry malts around. I always played "Runaway" on the free jukebox too. Man I miss that place like a time capsule with checkerboard floors. Groovy man.

Don't they all say roll tide roll?

You do have a point! lol

Roll tide roll Jules. Watch them get rolled at home by Mississippi LOL

Next month is October and the annual horror indulgence, but I'm watching some early to get into the mood before I get to Wes Craven's classics.

Horror indulgence this year is also watching the Colts and Saints.

Sad but true. I'd rather watch Christopher Lee vampire films though. Sigh...we've lost a lot of great people this year.

Great tribute to him Sunday night on the Billboard awards by Imagine Dragons!

Interesting, I had no idea. I only watched Britney Spears perform the other night. Thanks for letting me know

You tube it. It was fantastic and BB's granddaughters were there.

Fun note - Out of the Past was supposed to star Bogart. He was locked into a contract at the time with Warner Bros so he couldn't do it. Mitchum was Bogart's own choice to do the film, and he pushed him to do it. Robert Mitchum was a pair with Jane Greer. Don't know how it would have worked out with Bogie, but it's still a fine movie. 

That's a cool kernel of info about Mitchum there & I had no idea that Bogie was supposed to star in that film. That's for your motion picture recommendations & music recommendations completely. You have good tastes in less familiar masterpieces Bogie. 

I'm being sincere in my praise here. No funny business. I swear. 

I meant to say thanks for your recommendations & I trust your judgement in films & music completely. I need to proof read before I click send. LOL! 

"Panic in Detroit" the title always reminded me of "Panic in the streets".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042832/

You just found an old film noir I haven't ever watched, and that's my favorite genre of old movies. 

Thats a very very famous old movie. I only seen bits and parts but the title is hugely famous.

And omg......your new background and avatar are........

I seen the special editions in theaters when i was in school, and then the abomination called The Phantom Menace right when I dropped out of high school. 

I could talk your ear off about Star Wars for hours on end. Star Wars and music, that's my two things I know the most about. 

Yeah, I'm a bit of a Star Wars nerd myself. CBE, speaking of Return Of The Jedi, that was the coolest movie experience I ever had in the theatre because the whole crowd went awe when the baby ewok popped it's head out of the basket & cheered loudly when the 2nd Death Star blew up on screen. I got goose bumps from the collective bonding session. 

I've never experienced anything like that before in my life as a movie goer & sadly, I probably never will again. It was so surreal & unforgettable. 

Yes, Return of the Jedi was unreal!

Thank you Nadine!

I don't celebrate birthdays anymore, but Jules is a cool person, so whatever you decide to do: Enjoy it! 

"You sent me a Saints cat a while back, I remembered and had to return the favor." 

Nicely done Bogie! Yeah I know, I'm kinda intruding here. My bad. 

I just like how you took a mental note of that & responded accordingly. Bravo! 
 

Sorry I never replied back to you Jules. I am so slow online lately due to these allergy problems. I have hay fever lingering around in my system. 

I wouldn't feel bad about bandwagon rooting for any NBA team. Most NBA fans are bandwagon fans who follow a key player. KG's fan base all followed him to Boston, Kobe fans would've followed him to Chicago when he wanted to be traded there. I can tell you, once Anthony Davis leaves New Orleans, whatever team he goes to is going to have some new fans. There is such little interest in the Pelicans down here.

I got the cat and you got the dog.

He's a golden retriever.  Beautiful dogs.

Sad news today with Nick Fairley. I'm not real optimistic on the Saints after this. They just lost a vital key piece of their blitz. I am not expecting them to be really good on the front four now without a key player like Fairley.

Thats okay, I will probably head to bed after this status since I am pretty wiped out today myself. I will get to the message probably tomorrow night when I get some rest. I don't think I can write much since I too have had allergy issues the last few days which is making my right eye water really badly. I can control it in the day with a claritin, but at night it has been kicking up.......so I am kinda blurry eyed in one eye tonight.  I been kinda foggy today and had a busy weekend.

Hope you can get this under control sometime. My allergy stuff usually ends in a few days but yours seem to be unable too.

I never feel bad for bandwagoning in the NBA. It's a player fan league usually anyway. If you like Lebron you root for his teams, simple as that. You liked Kobe you liked his team, simple as that. Boston though I do kinda like more for Brad Stevens so is it possible to bandwagon a head coach?  And for the Heat I like Pat Riley. Sometimes I even like the Spurs for Popovich so yeah coach bandwagoning for me is huge in the NBA too.

And Popovich, omg........best Trump and politics talk in sports, period.  He is most of this 10 minute video.

Sorry about this one. Ouch. But maybe the Saints can still cook something up on defense but I guess based on recent history it's not always too promising........

But you can hope. At least you start the year with the Vikings and Pats so it's not embarrassing if you lose. We start with the Rams, Cards and Browns so if we lose then omg........

NICE dogs too, I don't think there is a mean golden retriever on the planet.

I wonder why? Such a cool team and cool name too.

Oh one more thing, who says ball hogging don't get rewarded!!!!

http://deadspin.com/russell-westbrook-is-the-mvp-1796440682

Westbrook gets MVP!!!!!!!!!

Kinda ironic that Durant got a ring and finals MVP and Westbrook finally got to do his ultimate ball hogging season and get MVP too.
