WTF??? Penske Supposed To Save What???

I know this is supposed to be a NASCAR website, but me feels I need to rant about this. All right, here's what I think about Penske backing out of the deal with Saturn.

Roger Penske is a fucking great business man and an awesome owner of some of the greatest race teams in all types of racing, but what the fuck are people bitchin about him not saving a sinking ship. To my understanding, GM was supposed to make the cars and Roger was supposed to raise the wreckage. I have heard "some" peoples opinions that it is Roger's fault now that people are losing their jobs at the plant. WTF??? How about blaming the idiots at GM for that fubbared event.

Roger is simply a man that builds race cars and has multiple SUCCESSFUL businesses. To think he was trying to be the savior for that falling company is simply idiotic. I can't say as I blame him for blowing off the deal. Was he and his race teams going to manufacture those cars??? I don't think so, I'd jump ship too if that was put in front of me.

I guess the executives (LOL) at GM think that a truly reliable car isn't worth making anymore. It seems like lets bring back ONE car and that will make us more money than a whole line of RELIABLE cars!!! Stupid fuckers, and the "Captain" gets shit for it!!! I really think these pen pushing, overpaid, my shit don't stink, dumbfuck execs could take a lesson from NASCAR and IRL team owners. These owners have built truly safe race cars from nothing more than a bunch of channel, tubing, and sheetmetal and most of them still wear jeans and regular shirts to work. My point is this, the execs are truly fuckin stupid thinking nothing more than profit. So they bring back the Camaro as a quick fix for a long term problem. Dumb asses!!!

Damn Whatta Ride!!!

Ahhh who fucking cares, Jimmie "Vanilla Nice" won yet again during another Chase??? Did Joey Lagano get the ride of his life or what??? Just goes to show that the new cars bring boring races, but they sure are safe. Madd props to the JGR fab shop and all the men and women that build those cars. Something tells me "Smoke" ought to take ALL that crew and driver out to Burger King for a WHopper, cause that was a "Whopper" of a ride.

Madd props to Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Juan Pablo, Rubberhead, Gordo, A.J. "The Dinger" Allmendinger, Bud Boy Kasey, Smoke, and Flyin Ryan Newman for their top ten finishes!!!

Damn!!! WTF has happened to the 88, did it replace the R&D team of the 25??? Junebug, I'd start looking for a driving school and a new team!!! You are much better than you have been running ALL year. Oh well, there is always next year!!!

When wa the last time you saw a fifty year-old man have this much fun??? Props to Mark and Alan for their amazing season and well deserved win. Hey Juan Pablo!!! Get fuckin over it!!!

Flipper Flopped!!!

Since everyone knows about Carl Edwards and his "Frisbee Fuck up", it was no surprise when Carl won last nights Nationwide race he just shook Jack Roush's hand instead of his famous backflip. Now don't get me tooo wrong, but I'd love to see him miss and bust his ass. Why??? Well just because as long as he didn't get hurt, I'm just that way. In neeed of a sick joke...LOL LOL LOL!!!

Anyhooo, madd ass props to Carl and his team for a great effort. Think about it, mash the pedal for a shitload of laps and your foot is busted. That is something to talk about whether you like him or not. That is the definition of "No pain No gain!!!". Gots to give him the "Atta Boy Award"!!!

Sorry to the few of you that still check my blog. My wife and family has been through the wringer this last 12 months. I have had no desire to write or even give a shit about my blog. Things are starting to rock the house again and so is my demeaner. Reader's Digest version for those who give a shit: Gramma passed (99 1/2 years old and my BEST friend, not to mention the mother I NEVER had), business slid to a stand still, so I sold it, Wife has been ill with pancreas probs, and we moved back to my home state and GREATEST state of all New York. Wife is getting better, kids are kickin ass in school, I am back to work operating heavy equipment instead of changing the tires on them, and well my Dad and step-MOM have shown me what life has to offer again. THEY KICK fuckin ASS!!!

So all I can say is this, when you think life has kicked you so hard in the lugnuts you don't even give a shit anymore. Stop, look, and think. There are people and things in this life that have it worse than you and be greatful for what you do have even if you don't realize it and it is right underneath your nose.

Watch out world, Dawg is back and you are sooo gonna know it!!!

Charles J Houston, God Bless 9-11-01

Seven short but long years have passed since the tragedy at the World Trade Center and The Pentagon happened. I am taking this time to honor one victim as a tribute to ALL 2996 lives that were so harshly taken that Sept. Morning. Charles J. Houston, a forty-two year old stock broker working for Euro Brokers Inc. Located on the eighty-second floor in Tower number two is where Charles spent his final hours. Taken from us for NO Fuckin good reason as well as all the others lost that day, still goes without REAL answers. All we can say or hope for is that God is blessing these poor families effected by this tragedy. Even my family was effected. My father helped build those beautiful pieces of New York City skyline, and as well with the clean-up. My brother-in law mentally lost it after the clean-up. He picked up part of a human body. I will leave it at that. Now he is my ex-bro in law(mentally changed drastically). If that is what the workers went through, I can only imagine what the families are going through to this very day. May God Bless Every One Of Them.

Taken from Legacy.com, as appeared in the New York Times here is some thoughts from those who actually knew him:
Charles Joseph Houston was 6-foot-1, weighed 225 pounds and had a thick mustache. "He had a rough exterior, but inside, he was such a mush, especially around children." said Linda Houston, his wife. He frolicked in his backyard pool with his 2- year-old nieces, read to his 9-year-old nephew, and in general "snuggled with them." He went for walks with them and took them to movies and malls. "He was like a second father," she said."But he was a pull-no-punches type of guy," she added. "What you see is what you get. He wouldn't sugarcoat on anything. If you asked him for an opinion, he'd tell you what he really thought, sometimes even things you didn't want to hear."He and his brother-in-law, Otto Diodato, the father of his nieces and nephew, used to be efficient handymen in their two houses, merely a few yards apart. They'd be constantly concocting projects , redoing the kitchen counter tops, building fences, changing the bathroom tiles , and actually finishing them. But shortly before the September attack, they had become more like "Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble," his wife said. "They would joke around, enjoy each other's company, and the projects would last forever." Mr. Houston, 42, worked at Euro Brokers. He and his wife were planning to adopt a child next summer.

God Bless America!!!

Every Sept. 11 for as long as this blog is alive, I will continue to post this about Charles Houston. Keeping HIS memory alive as well as ALL the others lost that tragic day.

Many thanx to Ed and my Dad for the pictures. Taken from Ground Zero Sept.20, 2001. Thank all of you guys and gals that helped clean up and that are rebuilding our great city, New York.

Cough, Cough, Cough!!! As I blow the dust off!!!

After I clean the cobwebs off this ole blog...I will begin posting again for the few readers I have left. Sorry gang, but a big move to New York and avery sick "Better Half", life is starting to make sense again. As will my posts. Peace, Dawg
