A few posts ago I compared Coby to Wilt Chamberlain - since then I have done a little research - or should I say the commentators at the game did it for me---Coby has scored a lot of points in his career to date. Wilt had scored the same number of points 300 games earlier---not 300 points earlier 300 games---After Wilt set the scoring record he determined he would be the best defender out there---he stopped shooting and scoring and concentrated on defense. I don't know for sure but I bet he holds all the records for intimidation and blocked shots and maybe rebounds.
Brett Farve has decided to retire again - what's all the to do with the media??? The guy is and has been a great quarterback - if he wants to stay I bet there aren't many that could beat him out in head to head competition. GO BRETT---whatever you decide to do is OK with me---you've earned the right to choose and the media be damned.
Whoa what about them TAR HEELS? The seniors on the team are 4-0 against the Blue Devils on the Blue Devils court. The Seniors at Duke have also never beat North Carolina on their home court - that is an amazing thing for those two teams. WANNA talk about rivalries - THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!
A-ROD and the Yankees---I had one of my friends who is a Red Sox fan tell me quite a few years ago that he was really happy that the Yankees had signed A-Rod because they would never be a contender for the world series as long as they had him - YUP HE'S BEEN RIGHT.
EXPERTS ON FINANCES SAY BY 30 YOU SHOULD:
(You know that an expert is defined as someone from out of town)
- Scale back significantly on your credit card debt and use.
- Own your home or have plans of how you are going to do that.
- Have skills that are marketable.
- Give money away (it makes you a better person and makes you appreciate what you have more).
- Know yourself.
- Know smart people.
All of those things will help you to be a better person and will help you enjoy your life a whole lot more - THOSE EXPERTS WERE RIGHT - this is the first time I have seen these in one place (and I stole them) but they are all correct principles. I can tell you they are CORRECT - if you can do all six by age 30 you will be way ahead of where I am at age 60. I am a slow learner.

I love these random posts! They're my favorites.
Mine too...
And it is Kobe Bryant...he would probably be offended by Coby... :)
I was going to say the same thing about it being Kobe...haha But I love the random posts too! And I was super pleased the Jazz won!!
great list, I think that I can say that I have all of those on the list - I don't know that I'll ever be able to own my own home though - i did a mortgage calculator the other day and it said that I could only afford a home that was $88,000 but that's okay, I'd rather rent and not worry about repairs and maintenance and be able to move more LOL :)
With us it was pretty clear with all the moves that we would never own a home - so - we started a 401K account and put money into it thinking when we retired we could use it to help buy a house. Well we did finally buy a house (and didn't have to use the 401K). I can tell you for sure that it was a really good feeling when the money in the 401K was more than enough to pay off the house.
Only thing I would have done differently on this is that I would have done it through a ROTH account.
And just for the record - we have borrowed money to purchase a car only twice in 39 years---I can pay myself the payment and interest and buy the car with cash in 2 1/2 years - as opposed to 4 years with payments to a bank or loan company.
But just remember, you have to start somewhere. Just borrow enough that you can live within your means.
Pretty sure you meant Kobe Bryant, right?
And I guess I'm pretty much screwed since I'm over thirty and have no idea how I'll ever get into a house.
