Simple things are worth blogging about

The biggest fish I ever caught was a catfish. I caught him in the Etowah River in North Georgia. My monster cat was nothing like the one seen in the picture. I doubt my big catfish would have weighed 10 pounds. I have seen and heard about monster catfish that can be caught in rivers and lakes.
What is the biggest catfish you ever caught? I would love to go on a night fishing trip and try to land one of these huge fish. They would be hard to land if they weighed 20 pounds or more. I know my biggest catch ever took me about 30 minutes to get him ashore. A monster cat that went closer to 100 pounds would probably be an all night battle.
You would have to start off with some really strong fishing line. I’m not sure what the strongest line is, but that’s the line I would use. A few big hooks and a lot of bait would also need to be in the tackle box. I would want to start fishing in the daylight, so I could plan out my strategy for landing a big catfish. I bet most fishermen have to take to the water, so they don’t lose a fish this big. I would need to see this during the daylight hours, so I would be prepared after dark to catch my monster cat.
I guess chicken liver that is really bloody would be the best bait choice. It seems that would draw the most attention from these big fish. Before you can land the big one, you might have to reel in a few small ones first. Once you get the fish swimming around and the smell of chicken liver and blood in the water, I think the bigger catfish would head your way. I believe it’s the amino acids that actually attract fish to your hook. I wonder if you can buy a bottle of pure amino acids to soak the chicken liver in first? That would probably be a good recipe for a catfish bait. Especially if you have dreams of landing a monster cat one night. I say “night” because most catfish are active during the night time hours. You can catch them during the day, but most fishermen seem to do better at night. Please feel free to share your big catfish stories and let me know what the biggest catfish you ever caught weighed.

To me, the scariest movies are not the ones where people are being chased by an axe-wielding maniac in the woods. I don’t find that realistic, so I don’t have to worry about it. The scariest movies are the ones that are based on realistic situations. And one of these movies is Arlington Road. It’s a movie about domestic terrorism and it’s very frightening. What’s unfortunate about this movie is that not many people know about it. On the other hand, this could be a good thing, because if someone hasn’t seen it and happens to read this, they will be in for a pleasant surprise. It’s definitely a movie that will have your nerves on edge. One of the freakiest scenes is when Jeff Bridges investigates Tim Robbins’ home office while at a barbeque. Tim Robbins catches him and you know things are about to get ugly, but not in a physical way – in more of a manipulative fashion. This makes it more frightening. A fist fight would end after a few minutes. A manipulative man involved in domestic terrorism doesn’t operate that way. He’s going for the kill.
I watched Arlington Road on one of the direct tv packages the other night and I was hooked from start to finish. The opening scene of this movie is by far one of the most powerful opening scenes I have ever seen. The same can be said for the closing scene of the movie. And everything in-between is a buildup of suspense. You can only hope that the bad guy will be stopped, but you also sense that the odds might be too far stacked against him. It’s not like most movies, where you know the good guy will win in the end. This is definitely different. I won’t give away the ending. You will have to see it for yourself.

With the fallen economy, I recently got laid off. That’s not a bad thing though, I was able to start my own business and even started using hughes satallite internet satalite internet while working at home. I’ve been able to waste a lot of time online these days, because my business is based online, and it has been a lot more fun than my old job.
Finding good overall web content is somewhat irksome at times, but I’ve managed to narrow things down to some selected websites. I’m a big fan of skateboarding so a daily ritual is to check out theberrics.com The Berrics is a skateboard park in Los Angeles that is owned by Erik Koston and Steve Berra, two of the top names of skateboarding. The park uploads professionally edited skateboarding footage on a daily basis. They do a variety of things from contests to road trips, and provide visitors with a great daily experience. I used to have a hard time with the site, but since I started using Hughes internet service hughes internet service, I’ve been able to watch the videos relatively easy, on a daily basis.
Another great website I visit is boingboing.net, which is a grab bag of cool links and articles. The website covers a variety of news and geek topics that is not seen often by other sites. It’s hard to explain what it is that attracts me to that website, it’s just a cornucopia of cool. Lastly, I visit wwe.com daily. I love professional wrestling, and check in with the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet, just in case I miss something. Hughesnet hughes net really helps me stay connected and have fun online all day long.

Buy.com Sale on Boomboxes
Bringing the tunes to the beach doesn’t have to be stressful. It can be, if you bring a nice radio or boom-box with you. A sale currently underway at Buy.com has cheap radios that would be perfect for a weekend trip to the beach. All beaches have dirt or sand that can collect up in electronics and make them wear down a lot quicker. This won’t be a big deal for those that pick up a cheap boom box to take to the beach. This boombox offers a radio or cassette player for people traveling to the beach to use for their musical enjoyment.
You probably won’t have the luxury of using electricity to play your radio at the beach. Pick up 4 “D” size batteries to install into this cheap Coby portable radio, so no electrical outlets or cords are needed to get your tunes. Leave the headphones and iPod at home, so you can protect them from the sandy beaches. This radio offers a simple way to turn down the music for your own personal listening pleasures. Or you can crank it up for others to hear; while you jam at the beach.
All trips to the beach should be stress free. Don’t bring any items you will have to worry about losing, damaging, or getting stolen at the beach. This boombox is perfect for a beach trip you plan to catch some sun rays, go swimming, or to listen to at the beach volleyball game.

Game 3 in Milwaukee was much different from the first 2 playoff games between the Hawks and Bucks. The first two games in this series was handled easily by the Atlanta Hawks. They were beginning to look like an NBA team ready to compete for the Eastern Conference championship. That was until they got on the plane and travel to Wisconsin to play a little B-Ball on the court up there.
It was a slaughter right from the start. The basketball team from the ATL had no chance in this bloodbath they were swimming in. The Bucks hit them hard and hit them often as they ran up the score. The swagger was all around, but no player on the court demonstrated that swagger better than Milwaukee’s rookie point guard Brandon Jennings. He knew right from the start how this game was going to end in Milwaukee Saturday night. Jennings started knocking down a few long jump shots from 3 land. After each shot made, he would get that swagger on. My first thoughts on the Brandon Jennings swagger was that he would regret showing up the Hawks team like that. I was expecting any minute for the Hawks to get it going, but that never was the case. The team from Atlanta coached by Mike Woodson never got his team fired up to play. Woodson simply said his guys didn’t come out with the energy needed to win and they wasn’t physical enough to match up with the intensity the Bucks came out of the locker room with. I find his comments after the game very amusing. If this was the case Mr. Woodson, why did you play your starters the majority of the game? If the guys on the floor are not bringing it (like they should), simply sit them on the bench and call in the next guy. Your lack of trust in your bench guys, is what keeps your team from moving up in the NBA ranks. The starting 5 for Atlanta knows they will be on the floor and they have no pressures to perform. Not letting the bench push the starters is what creates these huge blowouts in the playoffs; which the Hawks are now becoming known for. If they can win by double digits in the playoffs, they will give up and let their opponents win.
Joe Johnson and Mike Woodson both said comments after the game they will have to look at the tape to see what happened. This is the type of comments you would expect from losers and Joe Johnson and Mike Woodson might just be the biggest two losers in Atlanta basketball these days. I don’t have to look at the tape to see that the execution and game plan didn’t work. All Woodson has to do is get guys up off the bench to come in and let these starters ride the bench some. Coach Mike Woodson fails to see the logic in letting other team members play in the game; while the starters learn lessons and learn that each minute they are on the floor is a privlege and not a right. Play your best 5 and the wins will come! You don’t know who your best 5 are each night, until you get them in the game and let them run up and down the court a few times. The Hawks think they will just bounce back from this pounding. They fully expect to win all of their home games against the Bucks. This attitude is why the Hawks can’t perform up to their basketball abilities. It is time to panic and don’t tell me otherwise. Fear the deer is in full effect and the Hawks may not win another game against Milwaukee with the lack of direction and leadership these guys bring into a NBA playoff atmosphere.

LeBron Searches Scoreboard for Points
I find it very funny how ESPN and their broadcasters are already claiming LeBron James as the best basketball player ever. I mean seriously, they think this guy is actually the best player in the NBA now and asks their self nightly if he’s the best ever. Excuse me, but have you ever actually watched LeBron James play basketball? I mean before you go and say he’s the best, wouldn’t a consistent jumper from the outside be nice? What about the best basketball player making free throws? James has a difficult time at the stripe, when he’s just 15 foot from the rim and no defenders trying to block his shot. He seems to have trouble stringing together 5 to 8 free throw shots in a row. You know, like a player that could be in the discussion for best basketball player now or all time. Dow the stretch, his game gets weak in tight situations. He’s unreliable at the free throw line late in close ball games. He’s made a few highlight films where he’s scoring the last couple of hoops for the Cavs, but look at all the times he fails to deliver at the end.
LeBron drives his big linebacker body into the lane and throws up shots that go in a lot. This is because guys try to prevent from fouling him, but the referees still bail him out. So when his shots around the rim don’t go in, we make excuses for him, because the ref blew the whistle and said he was foul. When the actual replays show that LeBron doesn’t perform as well around the rim as the guys from ESPN would have us to believe.
I couldn’t believe the ESPN crew of fans that were given the Cleveland Cavaliers the NBA championship this year, after their Game 1 win over the Chicago Bulls. Every team, with the exception of the Phoenix Suns, looked good against their Game 1 opponents, that had home court advantage. The Cavs are a number 1 seed, who was playing at home against an 8th seed, and the folks from ESPN took from that victory; that they couldn’t see how any NBA team could beat them. Now to steal a line from the guys at TBS, that’s funny “VERY FUNNY”.
I guess ESPN had to eat their words tonight and now whose the fool on the TV tube? The Chicago Bulls ran all over the Cavaliers tonight. Had the best player of all time in the NBA and his team down 21 points! Are you kidding me? The Cavs did make a nice comeback and gave their self a shot to win late, but surely that 3 pointer at the eleven second mark by King James, was not your evidence for this punk that has no respect for the game or his fellow NBA players that have the same job as him. LeBron James played like he had two, no wait, three left thumbs with his careless turnovers. I believe you can look at this game and make a case that LeBron was the reason why his team lost. He’s a ball hog and anytime he does something good, he runs around and celebrates. You can always tell the good athletes from the great ones. The really good ones know how to do the most spectacular plays and then act like they’ve did it before. The reason why; is because in most cases they really have.
This street punk, ball hogging crybaby from a local Ohio High School is not the game’s best player! If you want to ride the coat-tails on a player that tries to show off and has to back the ball back; while bent over (like he’s going to do something) 10 times a game; as your top player in the League. That’s fine with me! I just don’t see the best ever having a poor attitude and everyone can stop given King James credit for being a team player. I have heard about this special team player trait of his for a long time now. I hate to break it to you LBJ fans, but LeBron is NO TEAM PLAYER! A few NBA players, fans, and those bias ESPN broadcasters see LeBron pass the ball to a teammate and they call this being a team player. No, this is called playing basketball and the man gets no credit for passing the ball. Some believe LeBron could go down the floor and score almost every time, so if he is so kind to let one of his teammates score instead of him, he’s being a team player. Insert that TBS line here again. VERY FUNNY!
Don’t you guys see when LBJ has a bad game? The games where he struggles with his shot and the ball just isn’t going down for him? I have seen this and the Cavs be in complete control of the game. A good team player would be high fiving his teammates and happy they are winning a game that he’s struggling in. LeBron doesn’t do this and he just complains, keeps that mad look on his face, and after the game, it’s a me, me, me, type of interview. He’s not happy when his team wins and he plays poorly. He must do well first (win, lose, or draw) for him to get that swagger. As long as his shot is going in and he’s the star, then a game his team loses doesn’t matter. Passing a basketball to a few of your teammates that are wide open, is something that professional basketball players should always do. Instead, the guys from ESPN try to spin this into LBJ being a great team player. This has corrupted the minds of other NBA players and fans across the country.
If you want to see who the best player or players are in the NBA. You can’t go out and root for it to happen. You have to sit back and let it develop in front of you. Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics has performed about 3 speeds higher than LeBron James over the past couple of years in the playoffs and this year included. Josh Smith from the Atlanta Hawks has more high voltage plays in the air with his dunks and block shots; than the 9 volt battery of electrical current James gives with his dunks and block shots. If NBA fans, players, coaches, and broadcasters would sit back and ignore the hype. They could see how two guys like Josh Smith and Ray Allen are better than the punk up in Cleveland. And keep in mind, I’m given examples of lower tier players that perform better than LeBron. If we go to scoring champ Kevin Durant or the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, we would just be naming more NBA players that are better than LeBron James currently is. He’s no MVP and it’s pitiful how this circus gets created around him; only to see an 8th seeded playoff team like the Chicago Bulls that has a 2nd year player (who left college early) to beat the over rated King James of the National Basketball Association.

Tonight will be the first time Alyssa Milano has been on TV since her days with Charmed and My Name is Earl. Her new show is called Romantically Challenged. I think the show is worth watching with Milano appearing in it, but the writers of this new ABC show should make things interesting too. It just so happens the same writers that brought us Politically Correct and Family Guy are the same cast of goofballs that will be writing the script to Romantically Challenged each week.
Do you plan to watch the new ABC show Romantically Challenged? The story-line revolves around a group of friends that are fine when they’re together, but once they are away from each other, they don’t cope with life’s daily activities as well. Alyssa Milano will play a mother, who has a 15 year-old son in this new ABC comedy.
The first airing will be on Monday, April 19th. For those living on the east coast, can watch Alyssa Milano’s new TV series at 9:30 p.m., which will follow Dancing with the Stars on ABC. The new show only lasts 30 minutes, so it should be interesting to see how much comedy they can pack in this 30 minute sitcom.

Just outside the heartbeat of New York City is Queens, NY. One of the areas in New York that is a short drive from any of the more well-known NY attractions, but Queens still provides neighborhoods that would meet any families criteria. A lot of the 5 crime families present in New York today left a bad reputation in the minds of NY residents and those that watched it unfold in Hollywood movies. The Gambino family has been one that has left a crooked past behind, but we don’t ever get to see all of the positive things a crime family sometimes leave behind. John Gotti was the last known crime boss many Americans know as being the head of the Gambino family in New York. Gotti who passed away in jail many years ago, still can be credited for developing a place like Queens, NY into the great neighborhoods it offers today.
One of the big moving companies NYC could help a family today with a move to one of these beautiful neighborhoods in Queens. It’s idea for small and large families alike, that seek to be near the big city and still far enough to leave some of the noise and bright lights of NYC in their rear view mirrors. Queens is full of good neighborhoods that have a very low crime rate; when comparing to some of the other areas located around NYC. A lot of the Italians and Italian-Americans would still see this as part of the Gotti legacy, in which him and the Gambino family help to create and leave behind for their own families to grow up and work in today. The folks at Citymove.com are available and waiting for any new home buyers to call Queens their home. I would probably rank Queens as my top choice for a new area to move to in the New York metropolitan area.

How does your favorite NBA Team look right now? Are they playoff bound this weekend? Or are they headed to the draft board to see how high they can finish in the NBA Draft Lottery? I know this lottery to determine the top selections in this summer’s NBA Draft for teams who not in the post season, will be televised during one of the later playoff games at halftime. At least this has been the pattern for the last several years. It probably helps to draw-in a bigger audience, since you have two NBA team’s fans watching this basketball lottery and their team obviously is not in it. Teams do trade draft picks in the NBA and some playoff teams could own another team’s lottery ball and get a chance in the lottery. I have spent a lot of years watching those lottery balls (even though the actual lottery is not shown live or even on TV for that manner). I’m glad this is a playoff year for us, just like I was last year, and the year before that too. Making the playoffs 3 straight years in a row is something we are proud of and gives us something to hang our hat on.
Now the electricity in the NBA Arenas for playoff basketball is unreal. Everything slows down in the playoffs and each possession is so important for each team. You know your competition has some game or they wouldn’t be matched up against you in the NBA post season. A team turning the ball over and wasting these valuable possessions; may not have lasting memories of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. A champion has to start somewhere and for me, I hope its my NBA team that starts that path this weekend. First goal all NBA playoff teams have is to win Game 1. You got to find a way to get the first punch in and it gets so much easier with each additional win.
My local NBA team; which is my favorite NBA team does have all the pieces to win the Championship. They just haven’t figured out how to play team basketball and winning all the small battles that take place within a NBA game. They are coached to win games in the 4th quarter and winning the game is all they strive for. True champions don’t get made this way. It’s a effort that starts from day 1 or from the previous seasons. Winning that next game is not important. In fact, it’s the last thing in the world you should worry about. Learning to play a style of championship basketball takes practice, hard work, and never taking your foot off of the gas pedal. I mean never! When you do stop to take a break or decide your going to take this night off. There is someone out there that didn’t rest that night. This person just gained ground on you or if they were already pass you, then they just went ahead further. My NBA team has been horrible for a decade and in all of these years to build it up, they had a chance to create this winning formula. The current coach had his chance to mold the most talented team in the league and he has failed to do it. His lack of vision to see beyond the next game on the schedule and deciding to pre award players with minutes on a nightly basis is the reason we will not win the championship this year.
I know my team will lose in the 2010 basketball playoffs. Maybe they can make it to the Conference Championship Game or perhaps even to the NBA Finals, but at some point they will fall. They’re not mentally strong on the court. Something goes wrong for most of them, they get upset and complain. They begin to pout and the frustrations just keep building. What makes it even worse, the coach is right beside them and he will complain and starting pouting just like the players. But what could you expect from a coach that gives evil looks and pouts when his own players mess up on the court. He never has tried to be a motivator in a losing effort. He just saves the motivational speeches and pep talks for close games and the ones they win. He won’t even stand up on the sidelines, if the score is too far in favor of the opponent. He’s only after winning that game he sees today. He refuses to use the time now to prepare for the games of tomorrow and this is the reason why my NBA team has no hope for tomorrow.

I have a friend that takes a gambling trip each year. What started out as a 3 state drive from our home in Georgia to the casinos in Biloxi, Mississippi. Now has turned into an airplane flight to Las Vegas; which is located on the other side of the country from our east coast homes. He spends a lot of money on these yearly trips and not sure why he hasn’t converted to the online gaming industry yet. I don’t think he’s caught on to the Online Poker and other casino-style games, that are everywhere for Internet users to play and win real money on.
In fact, there are so many different places to choose online for poker, blackjack, roulette, slots, and other popular casino games, you will need some help to get to the best Vegas-style gaming websites. I know of a good starting point for those that haven’t played online yet or perhaps have played very little. A great casino guide is up and running right now; which will help players on the Net find the top rated sites. You can go to Online Casino Spotlight and find your favorite casino game. From there you will be shown a list of the top 10 sites online, and will be able to pick which one you want to join. Most online gaming sites have an easy sign-up form and it won’t take long for you to be playing with the other millions of people, that participate in online games each day.
What do you think is the most important quality for a casino website to offer? The reviews at Online Casino Spotlight is done in a way, so people online can choose sites that offer the best bonuses, best online support, best VIP awards, and can even see one for the best new casino. Some people will spend many hours in one sitting playing games online and these folks probably want an online casino with good software or the best graphics. These hardcore players will be happy to know, these types of reviews exist too!
I can’t wait to get a little extra money up and try some of the newer sites that have popped up recently. I really like a lot of the casino games and I don’t think I really have a favorite game. My favorite game will be the one I can win the most money with; so it changes pretty regularly for me. The last big win for me was hitting a couple of big payouts on an Online Video Poker game; in which I won a little over $1800 in total. One payout netted $1250 and the 2nd big hit was for 600 and something dollars. I wound up losing about $300 after my two big wins and was able to quit with a little over fifteen hundred dollars in my favor. I don’t have many casino stories where I came out ahead, but that is one of my great moments.
You can start-up the fun anytime you want and these online casinos are just a few mouse clicks away. Try to begin with the valuable reviews the Online Casino Spotlight provides on their website. Search out a good quality you feel is important, like fast payouts for instance. Take advantage of other online players that have joined earlier and see if your experiences match up to their positive reviews. These games are suppose to supply fun and entertainment. You may not find that with a casino site you randomly pick to join. Taking these steps online, will surely help to increase those odds on having fun and getting the most enjoyment for your dollar. Now go play and please come back here and let me know how your online gaming experience went and if you plan to play again.

As the economy continues to bounce around saving money is more important than ever. We have a few ways to cut living expenses which are quite simple to follow. You may be doing some of these suggestions already or you might not have thought of them. Either way there is something for everyone to take from this article to help ease your life and bank account.
1.Eating out: this is the first place many individuals and families can save money. Even $4 at McDonalds or other fast food restaurants will add up over time. You can possibly save $50 to $1000 a month on eating out depending on how much you eat out. If you eat out more than you eat at home then consider switching to buying groceries on the days you will eat at home. This can save you from wasting your groceries. Most often we tend to get in a cycle of eating out and throwing out the food we have bought from the grocery store. Choose one or the other. You will find savings.
2.Do all of your errands at once: Take one day off or evening to complete all of your errands. By running around one day or night a week you can cut down on gas and therefore save a little monthly income on gas.
3.When you buy groceries plan out your weekly meals and buy only what you need. If you need fresh vegetables or want fish consider buying them the day you will be eating them. There is 99.9 percent of the time a grocery store on your way home you can stop at to pick up these fresh foods.
4.Cut down on entertainment: instead of going out each night, every week cut back. Go out three times a week instead of seven or choose an entertainment like a movie without the popcorn and drinks. Venture out to go bowling or miniature golfing instead of a theater show. You do not have to cut all your entertainment out, but choose something for the week or the month, and then stay at home to save money with a movie in from a Redbox or Netflix.
5.Before you buy gas go online to AAA or other websites that offer local gas prices. This gives you a chance to compare the best prices and distance to each calculating where the best savings can be found. You can do this with grocery store flyers as well.
6.For utilities cut them down to the bare bones. Wear more clothes instead of running the heater up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, take showers rather than baths, and use candles. Do you really need to use your lights? If you are reading or cooking probably, but having candles around the house while watching TV is both romantic and uses less energy.
These are a few of the tips we can offer you. The amount you save depends on what you want to cut or alter in your life to save that money!

This week when you go grocery shopping, you may want to stock up on the junk food. I know having a lot of munchies around is important for days that have a good sporting event on. This Saturday we get to see the final four teams from men’s college basketball compete for this year’s championship. The final game will be played Monday in Indianapolis for the two teams that are victorious on Saturday.
How many people still have their 2010 tournament brackets intact? Who cares about the Duke and West Virginia side of the bracket. If you manage to pick the two number 5 seeds that are in the final four in Indianapolis this weekend; then you certainly know your college basketball.
The first game is currently showing a tip-off time at around 6:07 EST and this will be the game that features the two biggest underdogs in the final four. College basketball fans will be treated with the 5th seeded Butler Bulldogs taking on another 5th seed in the Michigan State Spartans. It doesn’t matter which team wins this opening game, because either way we will have a 5th seed in the championship game on Monday. I picked against both of these teams already, so I’m not really in a position to count either one of them out now. This should be a good game and both teams have played great basketball until this point in the tournament. You really hate to see either team lose on Saturday, but this will be the final game of the season for one of them.
In the nightcap that’s scheduled for a 8:47 EST tip-off will be between two teams fighting for the other half of the championship game on Monday. No big surprises to most people associated with college basketball to see the number 1 seeded Duke Bluedevils in this game. The Bluedevils will have a tough match up against the 2 seed that’s from the east coast too in the West Virginia Moutaineers. No doubts that Duke will be the favorite to win over West Virginia, but I will be pulling for the Mountaineers to upset those Bluedevils from North Carolina. I do expect a close game here and I think the 2nd game of the night on Saturday will be a closer final score than the first game will provide. Which two teams do you predict to be playing in the 2010 NCAA Championship Game in Indianapolis? Which team has the best players and coaches in the final 4 that will give them the opportunity to cut down the nets on Monday night?

Sandra Bullock Movie – Blind Side
I’m sure with all the great movies Sandra Bullock has been in; she has won dozens of awards for her roles, right? Well not exactly. For some reason the voters or people in charge of giving out these awards have never recognized Sandra Bullock as a terrific actress. This lovely brunette has played in some really big movies and these have been some really good movies, but yet no recognition in the awards department for her efforts. Even as of today, Sandra Bullock has never won an award as a brunette starring in a big Hollywood movie.
However, as a blonde actress she has made a mark on the scoreboard and now has been awarded one of the biggest awards Hollywood has to give out. All it took was for Sandra Bullock to change her hair color and this got the attention of the voters in California. I guess these guys prefer blondes over brunettes and this has kept Sandra Bullock from winning any major awards.
Things just got better and now Sandra Bullock has won the Oscar for the best leading actress in a movie. This is a tremendous award and it was for her true story movie called the Blind Side that earned her this Oscar. Bullock changes her hair color, lands a role with a movie that’s based on a true story, and the Oscar falls in her lap. It was a long over-due award if you ask me and congratulations to Bullock for winning this award recently. The Blind Side was the first movie ever that grossed over $200 million; which had a female as the leading actress in the film. The 200 million dollars is just for the box office dollars that came from U.S. and Canadian theaters. I’m sure the world-wide totals were much higher.
So the long-time actress finally wins her Oscar and life couldn’t be better for Sandra Bullock, right? Well again, not exactly. It now appears that her husband Jessie James, who stars in his own popular TV series, wasn’t being faithful to Bullock as she was away in Atlanta filming for this popular movie the Blind Side. It’s being reported that James had an affair with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. If you like tattoos and a lot of them; then Michelle might be the girl for you too. This McGee woman is actually a poor excuse for a woman and how any man could choose her over the lovely Sandra Bullock is beyond me. I mean seriously, Michelle McGee is just about as skank as they come, and if this story pans out to be true, Jessie James has made one of the worse decisions ever; when it comes to men cheating on their wives. Go look online for Michelle McGee pics, Michelle McGee pictures, or you may see her if you look for Jessie James affair. The sight of seeing her makes me sick and I don’t think I will be posting any Bombshell McGee Photos here.
It seems the men in Sandra’s life haven’t been too good to her. One of the first times I ever saw Sandra Bullock, she had a guy that put her in a casket and buried her alive. This is by far, my all time favorite Sandra Bullock movie ever! It’s called the Vanishing and came out in the 80′s. If you have never seen the Vanishing with Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock, you must look for this one!
The Vanishing – Sandra Bullock
After her tough times with the men in this movie the Vanishing, she would have to keep watching the men in Hollywood, rejecting her movie performances for Oscar awards and other movie awards. She finally has a little luck; when she made a trip to my home state of Georgia, to film a great new movie called the Blind Side. It was enough luck to win her the Oscar for best leading actress. Now it turns out while she was in Atlanta, Georgia putting in all of that hard work it takes to win an Oscar. Bullock’s husband Jessie James was rolling around with some ugly woman that most men wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole.
I don’t think Jessie James will have too many fans now and I hope viewers stop watching his TV show on television. His actions has caused Sandra to cancel a trip to London, where she was going to be present for another awards or debut premiere for the movie the Blind Side. It’s also being reported that Sandra has moved out of their home and I hope this is true. Get away from him as quick as possible and don’t look back. Your achievements are just now starting Sandra; while your ex-husband Jessie James is in the toilet bowl; which people world-wide will be flushing as quick as they can. Congratulations again on the Oscar and let’s hope the UK trip can get rescheduled and you can still bask in all the glory that you have due to you.
