Indianapolis, we have a problem.

I am quite depressed, for I have just witnessed something no living person should have to witness. The Indianapolis Colts lost the Grand Opener at Lucas Oil Stadium to the Bears in a remake of Superbowl XLI.

Dallas Clark was again hit and taken out in his valiant attempts at tight-ending.

Joesph Addai was wounded in battle.

Peyton Manning - now there's a 300 page tragedy story in itself. It was his first game since his knee surgery, and I was expecting the Peyton that had been ancy to get back the whole season. The Peyton with that "I'm the real deal" swagger and the southern drawl. The risk-taker Peyton. The Peyton that I like. Instead I see this alien that's happy to be playing, yet unsure how this thing's gonna go down. There was all this uncertainty and doubt in his eyes! He only threw one touchdown pass. He did nothing out of the expected. He didn't throw a crazy Hail Mary during the last few seconds even though they couldn't win. He didn't stamp his feet and throw up his hands screaming when the ref made a bad call, or even when he himself threw something that looked like a drunk bat. He called timeouts and huddles in the red zone. Oh well, it was the first game and he'll find his groove. It just took him a little long. Like, more than one game. Which is uncharacteristic. That number 18 didn't even LOOK like Peyton Manning - it must have been his evil second-cousin. Sticks and I were passing the empty Quakers bag around for most of the game.

What shall become of us? What to do, what to do...

Just for you, Toria!

Manning Summer Fun!

The DSRL

Mannings vs. Williams

Anything Peyt can do...

The most pressure Peyton Manning has ever been under

Tell me when you've watched them girl!!!:) You'll love em!

Stuff I'm up 2

Gotta babysit in a few minutes. I toured the CCU campus yesterday and got a bunch of papers I need to look over. I'm planning on getting what they call "An English Major with an Emphasis on Creative Writing". Neat-o!!!!!!! I should talk to Lana about the whole CLEP ordeal. Lana, did you CLEP any classes? But it's cool, the CCU student writers put out a magazine with their work! How cool is THAT??? Really cool!!!!!!! Got my Peyton Manning jersey in the mail this week!!!!!!!!!!! I love it and it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got pics, but they're not on here. Also got a couple new Sanctus Real cds on my iPod. Dad has decided that he really likes them! They ARE good. Also got a Dc Talk doubletake cd with the albums JESUS FREAK and SUPERNATURAL. Me likey!!!!!!!

I would like to draw your attention to the Girls of God blog. I post on it semi-regularly and it is NOT an abandoned blog!!!! I'm putting the KJ52 song, DEAR SLIM lyrics up here. I mention it and show the video on the GoG blog. The lyrics would've made it a WAY long post, so I'll stick em up here. It's a good song. There's actually 2. This one's the first one, the second one is when Slim heard this song.

Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin

My name ain't Stan son, nah we've never met and

My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now

Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writin

Why I took the time, the who what where and why and

The purpose of my verse, the reasons I'm reciting

What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding

And every word I'm writin down upon the dotted lines and

See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite

I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin different

What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin it now

What makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it

See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin it

And sick of never havin dough and you your wanted to put an end to it

What good's all kinds of dough

Plus all kinds of flow

To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul

CHORUS

La la la la la la,

La la la la la la la la

To whom it may concern x4

Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling

This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem

It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons

And after shows I got these people coming up to me sayin

You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem

And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again

See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that

Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat

He told me how he used to listen to you but now he listens to me

Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD

I'm like for real he's like yeah he said my music made a difference

It got him away from all your words and images

I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids

You ever stop to think about the millions you influence

Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it

Or just the way for some record companies sellin it

The only thing we got in common is our melanin

Or lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm sayin

It's for you that I'm on my knees now daily prayin

Prayin that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relayin

Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing

Prayin one day that you'll be calling upon His name and

But anyway I'm signin off now don't keep me waitin

This is KJ another cat just trying to make it

CHORUS

Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through

See I could relate to you cause son I'm about as old as you

See we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood

When you's the only one and only kid that's white

Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light

It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life

But really tell me what you do

You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew

I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin you

And even though its a song you'll probably never listen to

See what I send to you is this

Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed

Hope you remember this now a few sentences

About a living God who loves you and plus forgives

And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid

It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is

And even though now it really might sound redundant

God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance

You'll sell a couple mill I'll probably sell a couple hundred

There's more to life then selling records and just getting blunted

But anyway that's really all I gots to say

Just another word from an emcee now around the way

Maybe some day we meet each other in some way

Till then one love one God one way

CHORUS

Peyton Manning's Best Commercials for Toria

VERSE OF THE DAY: But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. Psalm 13:5

NFC won the pro bowl. Arrrg! But they only had Peyton in for a few minutes and that was why:) But Lifehouse played at halftime and Adrian Peterson was MVP and gave the praise where it belonged. So great! Tyree did too, during his interview for those outstanding catches in the superbowl. Despite Mike Vick and all these other scandals, there is good in these famous athletes.

Just made some brownies with Mayfee. He had a beard of chocolate licking the beaters! But he loves to make stuff. Got all my valentines done and so did Bird. Huzzah!!!!

Watched Monster House last night. Junk. But not as junky as the bridge to terabithia!*Yiick!*

Talked to Toria on the phone last week. So COOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was fun making her guess who I was:P She has NEVER seen a Peyton Manning commercial so I told her I'd put some up here for her to watch! Enjoy darlin!!!

This should be good for ya girly!

I'm handicapped: I can't see in the dark.

VERSE OF THE DAY: This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Dad's back!!!!!!!!!!! He came in sleepwalking yesterday, then slept a little nap (it was more like a... hibernation) then came out and watched the superbowl again! I still got tense even though I knew the score! Now he's feeling pretty good! Grandma and I went to Emo's and ate some... I don't quite know what, but it was good! Then we found BLOCKBUSTER and got THE VILLAGE and THE BRIDGE TO TERIBITHIA or something like that for Dad. We kids and Grandma watched the Village last night. That is a better movie every time I watch it!!! Helped Grandpa with his NEW YORK TIMES crossword puzzle yesterday too. Whenever he finds an impossible one, he sends me to the internet. Heehee! Found this vid of Eli and Peyton after the Superbowl on an NFL site. You have to turn it up to hear anything they're saying, besides the fact that they're speaking in football/brother code, but it's really sweet. Thought Toria'd like it!

Peyton's a good brother:) And I got to say my line! When the Pats were in the locker room I said: "THE PATS ARE NOT PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was glorious!!!!!!!!!! And more football on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!! The Pro Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE GIANTS ARE THE SUPERBOWL XLII CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!

Dad just had a successfull nose surgery right now. Dunno much bout dat, shall tell more later. Now for some happyhappyjoyjoy....

THE NEW YORK GIANTS ARE THE SUPERBOWL XLII CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Eli Manning is the MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joy and Escasy and Thank You God and Happiness and No More Pats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dad SAID he wanted the Patriots to win. But he didn't really. I wrote a bad poem about Eli's season, but I'm not gonna put it up here.

Some direction from the Mann...

"YEAH!"

The Big Beautiful!

Brother hug

Peyton was up there watching the whole thing. I watched what they said to each other right after and they talked about the game a bit. Peyton kept on saying, "unbeliveable" and "I love you man". So sweet! Must go 2 bed now, but more later!

2 good things

VERSE OF THE DAY: He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. 1 Timothy 2:6

#1 best: A few days ago, I received a birthday box from my awesome gorgeous Arkansas friends!!!!!! Thank you yall wonderful sweet girlfriends!!!!!! I loved ALL the stuff and all the cards and all the notes and everything!!!!!!!!!! It is doubly great to know I am still thought about in the magical land I fled by the prettiest girls in it!!!!!!!!! So the title of this post should really be, "4 good things" but oh well. I am coming to see yall soon and I'll give you all the biggest squeeze ever!!!!! I love yall and miss yall bunches and muches and all other expressions that have the general or somewhat relative meaning of the phrase: "A LOT".

PS - While speaking to all Your Coolnesses, if yall could pray about the productiveness and controlledness of my Bible study, It would very much appreciated. I haven't been as "on the ball" with it, per se. Thanks!<3

#2 best: It's not THE BEST, but it is a "good thing" so I shall say: Eli Manning (aka: BOY) is going to the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!! Deathly sad for the Packers. Shed three tears for Favre. Wanted them to win somethin awful. But I just can't manage to be MAD at Eli!!!!!!!! I've never wanted the Giants to lose before, and it's good to have another Manning in the Big Bowl, especially as this one almost lost his job earlier this season. It was below zero out there, seriously, and like a teen QB vs. a 40s QB. Good ol' Favre. I hope he doesn't leave us now. But I must say I am happy, very, very happy for the Manning boy. Now the Superbowl will be torment: a long, slow, grinding, defeat that crushes confidence, body, mind, and team under a white, silver, red, and blue cleat. Pain and sorrow for Archie's baby:( I'll hate to see him lose, but it'll be be beauty miraculous if he wins. And for the record, I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, little excerpt from the Tagg dinner table tonight: Sticks the 11yearold, at a very slight mention of the subject, says in a 1% clueless, 20% exasperated, 89% "I'm older than I am" voice, "How come women (word said in a contempty attitude) always for no reason start crying?" followed by a graphic (and pretty good) impersonation of Boo-hooing. Dad says, "Son, if you could get the answer to that, you could write a single paragraph "Why women cry for no reason" and charge thirty bucks and every man in America would buy it." LOL

Snaps for Brothers!

True Peyton didn't lead his team to fame and fortune. But his dear brother, Eli Manning took his New York Giants to Dallas to beat..... ROMO and the DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy for the boy and happy that the Cowboys never got any better than the Colts. Now let us watch an inspiring clip of Peyton beating Eli up.

God Bless us every one!

Why? WHY????????

VERSE OF THE DAY: Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. Psalm 63:3 (How does the verse always fit pretty good? I guess now my hope is that Dungee stays!!!!!!)

My Indianapolis Colts lost to the chargers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BARELY!!!!!!!!!! Why? WHY?????????? Please do not laugh in comments, this is extremely unfunny. They have to leave!!!!!!! They're done with this season!!!!!!!!! Peyton the Manning threw like 2 picks!!!!!!!!!! Addai and Keith kept switching out as RB b/cuz they were both hurt!!!!!!!!! Bob Sanders (NFL Defensive player of the year) got smashed up and became a benchwarmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the final seconds Peyton knew what he had to do and nothing got done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To the CHARGERS of all things!!!!!!!!! Without even LT!!!!!!!!!!!! Top it all off with the Coach extraordinaire Christian best-selling author perhaps Tony Dungee LEAVING US!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been crying ever since. Let me leave you with some pictures of the team I will not see till next season. Play some sort of sad song in your head. I don't want to think of one right now.

Quarterback Coolness

Victories are a thing of the past:(

Our kicker Adam Vinatari

"Here's what we gotta do..."

"What kinda call was that?" I couldn't agree more.

Reggie Wayne, I feel your pain

Dungee and Manning... *sniff*

I need to babysit soon so I should stop my groveling and weeping and gnashing of teeth and my barrowing that can only come from the bitterly bummed out. I can't help it!! Man, don't yall hope I don't play fantasy football next season? Then what shall become of me? I want to play anyway though.

God please bring my favorite coach back and bless every bit of Horseshoe Hotness next season!

Which One, Which One?

This past Football Sunday, the TV was turned ON. Should I watch my one-and-only Peyton Manning (my best-loved, favorite, awesomest, football quarterback hero, I-do-not-doubt-his-heart-nor-the-reach-of-his-arm, Colts dude) at his typical best beating the Texans (No DUH!!!) in the 3rd quarter by such a long shot that poor stinky team has no chance whatsoever of catching up not to even CONSIDER winning?

Or should I watch my second-and-only Brett Favre (my previous favorite, best, and awesomest, until I discovered what those words really meant through a certain #18 in a blue shirt, but this graying, big-throwing, every-record-breaking, cheesehead, Green Bay, QB still retains a large peice of my heart for himself) at his absolute WORST losing to the Bears (EEEEEK!) in the third quarter in the worst conditions he said he's ever played in with cold and snow and huge winds with a PROVOKINGLY large chance of winning?

Oh decisions, decisions!!!!!!! Of course I had to watch my Manning until the game switched then I watched my Favre. I depressed myself with the wind pushing his right passes left and watching him cry. Then I left. They lost to the Bears. My Manning didn't even make it to the top 3 QBs this week! Romo did.

Jingle Bells! T.O. smells!

Romo threw a pick!

Demarcus Ware messed up his hair

and the Cowboys lost the game!

Jingle Bells! T.O. smells!

Romo took a sack!

Beat the Dolphins in the spring

and now they're 1-15!!!

~ written by Sticks and Meggy to make my cousin angry!:P

My poor teams! In honest retrospect, I know that the Patriots, the hated team known for lucky wins and evilish hathno, shall make it to the Big Bowl. But with who? Anybody but the Cowboys!!! Green Bay or Indy PLEASE!!!!
