I’m in my 19th month as a Stage 4 cancer survivor. Never ever take a day, a friendship, or a sunset for granted. That is the mantra. One day at time and try not to get ahead of yourself. Keep things in perspective.
I’m probably in the best physical, emotional, and spiritual shape I’ve been in …. in maybe forty-five years or so. My cup runneth over…truly it is. I have been touched and blessed by God for these nineteen months.
I owe Dr. Showalter. I do. He closed that door, look through my eyes and my soul, and told me what I needed to be told and said, “Let’s go.”
My muscle mass and weight are back. I’m doing things physically which I honestly didn’t know if I would ever do again.
The journey continues and my spiritiual evolution as well.
These are my five current top pre-workout songs and you know, I think my soon to be five year-old grandson Robert would approve.
1 Seven Nation Army–The White Stripes
2 Eye of the Tiger– Survivor
3 Boomer Sooner!–Pride of Oklahoma
4 25 or 6 to 4– Chicago
5 Running Down a Dream–Tom Petty
Never take a sunrise or a sunset for granted. Smell the roses. Make the time to smell the roses…literally.
Be kind and scatter decency and love…even in Oklahoma.
Less than a week now before the big presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Ankle Bracelet Boy. I have to to admit the historian and political scientist in me are somewhat interested.
Should Trump indeed set the tone for this impending WWE Smackdown event by wearing gold plated ankle prison bracelets and then drop the 1-800 number in which the more societal leaning miscreants in his base can purchase a set for $89.95 with a credit card?
Get to work Vince and Linda McMahon….you can do this. Billionaire wheelhouse stuff, guys.
ONLY IN THIS AMERICA….TRUMP’S AMERICA where transactional greed has never flourished as it does circa 2024 could this be the entry to a U.S. presidential debate.
So…how will Kamala Harris conduct herself in this debate?
She needs to remain calm. She should stay away from the Hillary stuff and not assume every person in America not yet convinced she should be POTUS is a deplorable societal miscreant.
She should go high and give the impression that she could possibly in fact do a few things to help the average American who wasn’t propagated from a billionaire’s sperm bank… or is a DNA descendant of Alex Jones.
That would be my starting point and I’d hammer on that theme throughout the debate.
How can a real president help the average American navigate life in 2024 in what has become America Crazy Land?
If I were her…I’d hit the fracking thing and calmly explain why the Green New Deal can never be the sole template for American energy policy moving forward. It doesn’t work by itself exclusively. Even if you’re the most lit-woke member of the far left… by now you should be somewhat coming to terms with this.
I’d offer James Lankford and his fellow gutless GOP senators the opportunity to bring their very same immigration bill to my desk on DAY 1 to sign. And then I’d sign it because it would be the most important piece of immigration legislation in the last thirty years or so. Duh.
These are the kind of real things real presidents do to help real Americans.
Then I’d point out to Ankle Bracelet Boy the 150 member bi-partisan Association of Political Scientists recently rated the list of American Presidents one through forty six.
Hmmn…MJ wonders to himself how that went?
Lincoln, a Republican, edged out FDR for the No. 1 spot on the list. Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican as well, I think was around No. 5 on the list behind Washington and Jefferson. And…Dwight D. Eisenhower, yet another Republican, was in the top eight. Go figure…three iconic Republicans made the top eight and not one of them would give this ‘dubious person’ the time of day if they were still involved in American politics.
So where did Trump rank?
No. 46. Dead last where one would hope a convicted felon would rank.
Where did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris rank?
No. 14.
Probably could have been higher if they hadn’t had to clean up the mess of the previous four years created by POTUS 45 who ranked No. 46.
Several snarky comments on my private message box in regards to the recent fishing and travel blog content of late. Que sera. Too bad.
MJ is pacing himself. What else can I say?
OU played Temple and Oke State didn’t even play a Division I school. I’m not wasting my time blogging about either one of those games. OU plays Houston this Saturday, and Oke State vs. Arkansas is the noon national game. So… at that point MJ will begin blogging about this college football season.
I did however watch the USC Trojans handle the team I hate the most in college football…that being the LSU Tigers. Great game. I don’t hate Lincoln Riley. I hope other OU fans at some point can put that behind them. It’s kind of like the whiney bitch attitude of the Thunder fans when KD left to go the Warriors so he could have Steph as his point guard instead of Russell and win a couple of rings. That was a tough decision, eh.
As far as the NBA…I need to get going a bit this week with what will be my award winning coverage of the 1 Denver Nuggets, 2 Golden State Warriors, and 3 OKC Thunder. Some of you Thunder fans who have left inappropriate comments on my private message box in regards to my comments in regards on the Thunder the past three NBA seasons…should be pleased that I now consider the Thunder championship relevant. And I will announce right now I have the Thunder listed as my No. 4 team most likely to win the NBA Championship this season.
As far as the worthless piece of shit human debris human junk bond who I will not name on my blog any longer….MJ will wait until after the ‘presidential’ debate to comment on the trajectory of this absurd Kamala Harris vs. the Human Junk Bond presidential election cycle.
My Labor Day weekend was stellar. I changed my lake schdule and only visited the Sportsman Lodge Lake between Seminole and Wewoka….and then fished Lake Carl Blackwell in Stillwater with nephew Noah yesterday. I caught a few fish each day, but nothing spectacular.
But just being MJ Nature Boy and being out at these beautiful Oklahoma lakes was beyond theraputic for me. Maybe if some of you human rabble who plan on voting for the Felon should try the nature thing some time and see if it might help you regain some human perspective.
Next Sunday… I think MJ might end up at either Lake Wewoka, Lake Holdenville, or possibly the highly touted Lake Konawa.
It’s time for me to go work out and I need to get musically pumped.
