IROC Lives!

There used to be an auto racing series called the International Race Of Champions (IROC) in which drivers were selected from various racing leagues to compete against each other. Over the years the drivers raced Camaros, Firebird, Dodge Daytonas, etc. Each car was set up the exact same making each car equal. The drivers showed up and raced at various tracks. Usually these races were very good and some drivers really stood out some didn't. No pit stops just good plain racing.

Fast forward to today and NASCAR is basically becoming the same thing. They want everyone equal, example; they make Toyota run a different restrictor plate because they are too fast. No longer is it up to the manufacturer to out work the other just run to NASCAR and ask for a 'bailout'. My attitude is just let the teams show up at the track have them draw numbers for an already prepared car, put their decals on it, and go race.

Quick Hitz From My Brain

Here are just some quick things I have in my brain right now:

• How can you vote on something that you haven't even read?
• Who is going to pay for this new 'stimulus package'?
• Why don't people take responsibility for themselves?
• I am so happy that the sickness has left my household but I am praying for everyone else's house it is now affecting.
• I can't wait to conduct this webinar on Thursday.
• Ashley is now six months old, wow how time flies.
• My momma-in-law really helped us a lot this past week.
• It was great hanging with my mom and dad watching the Daytona 500 this past week
• Speaking of Daytona, can someone tell me why Dale Jr wasn't penalized for the wreck he caused? (answer: he drives for Hendrick)
• Can't wait for the NHRA to resume this weekend - Go Team Force and Tony Schumacher
• NHRA is much more exciting than NASCAR these days!
• Greg 2.0 turns five years old next month - wow how time flies (deja vu)
• WWE really sucks right now and TNA ain't good either.
• High School Musical 3 came out today on DVD
• You may think I'm crazy about the above statement but as time flies with my kids I want to enjoy them every step of the way.
• They changed ANTM's start date from Feb 25 to March 4, not happy about that decision but whatever!
• I am ready to head back to Lake Buena Vista but I guess I will have to wait a few months.
• I love my family.

That's enough for now, c-ya later!

It's OK to Steal

Recently I had a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort in LakeBuena Vista, FL. At the hotel they sell these to-go mugs that allow you to fill them up with hot or cold beverages at anytime during your stay. Now the mugs cost like $15.00 but if you are staying for several days they are well worth it. Now on the promo poster it clearly states that the mugs are only "ONLY GOOD FOR THE STAY IN WHICH THEY WERE PURCHASED". That means that the mug 'expires' on the final day of your stay. Makes sense to me. What amazed me was the number of people using older mugs and filling them up, especially the dancers that were there for the national championships. The kicker was the attitude I overheard from one of the mothers who said "I just bring my mug back because Disney has enough of my money." Wow what a statement. Basically what she is saying is it is ok to steal from someone if you feel you have given them enough money elsewhere. And we wonder what is wrong with our youth today...just look at the role models we have.
