Mother's Against Sexual Internet Predators

The world is going to hell in a handbasket. It is evidenced in everything that we see these days and if I am saying it, it must be happening because I like to keep my head in an ostrich hole and ignore the crap that is going on around me. 50,000 men a year are castrating themselves, Sexually transmitted diseases are in the millions and growing, and their are people out their preying on innocent children. Did you watch the Dateline special where they caught internet predators? I didn't, but I heard it was sickening.

I got this comment posted in response to my story about Herpies that I wrote a while back. I never expected that post to open my eyes and to see things in a different light, but it has...


Very good article and good that you posted it. Our situation is different. My duaghter met a man (Brock Purviance) over the internet when she was 14 and he was 28. He is what is know as a "groomer". To make a long painful story short, he flew to our state, initiated a sexual relationship with our daughter five days after her 15th birthday. She tested postive to the HPV and the markers that cause cervical cancer. She will forever have to worry about developing cancer. This man is still out as of this day at his music school. The denver school of music. in Arvada Colorado.

1. This is a real disease that affects even those that are victims.

2. Men can give it without adverse side affects

3. My daughters doctor said men are not even tested for this disease because it does not affect them.

4. They are working on a immunization that can be given in a couple of years to those who have never contracted the virus as part of childrens immunizations, and hopefully will wipe out cervical cancer to which 95% of all cervical cancers are related to HPV.

By the way Brock told me personaly even if he did give it to my daughter it is no big deal because 70% of the population has it... yah easy for him to say, it won't give him cancer. Moral of this story....Parents check your kids cell phone logs, see who they are talking to... check their e-mails and see who is in their contact list..People be careful of each other, just because something does not affect you, does not mean it won't someone else.

Thank you for this chance to comment. ozarkcontessa [Mother Against Sexual Internet Predators]

When I got this comment I was obviously shocked and I immediately wanted to post it. Unfortunately, I had many posts about the Mavericks and other things and this post would suddenly seem out of place an incongruous with what I had been talking about and I wanted to be able to give the topic the full attention that it deserved.

On an up note, I received a second response from the Ozark Contessa stating that Brock Purviance is now in jail. I can't find the email or else I would post it here in full detail, but it looks like he will have to pay a little bit of a price for what he did, but there are some scales that can never be balanced.

So what makes a man a sexual predator? I don't think women realize that it is possible for any man to become sexually deviant. Reading an article in Details magazine about Craigslist and their Casual Encounter's classifieds I read this and was only mildly surprised...

(paraphrasing)

"Many people come here and find that they are interested in something that they never thought of before, one man had sex with another man's wife while the husband watched... 'it wasn't something on my to-do list, but I saw the ad and thought, what the heck'."

It all comes back to having moral integrity, knowing what your limits are, setting boundaries for yourself and not crossing them. The problem with the boundaries is now days they are blurred or non-existent. There isn't anyone out there saying, "Stop, don't do that!" Instead we have shows like MTV encouraging wild sex and even making statements like, "Getting AIDS is not a death sentence."

I think it is easy to ignore the fact that America is a guilded box, pretty on the outside, but rotting within. I wonder how many children have to be molested, how many people have to be raped, and how many people have to have to have an STD before people start to think about the consequences of their actions?

We're going to hell in a handbasket, but all America cares about is, "What kind of basket is it!?! Is it comfortable? Does it feel good? Is it pretty? Does it make me look fat? Is it a Longaberger?" No one even stops to think about the final destination.

Fresh Meat

What is it about these reality shows that are so fascinating? Well... in the case of MTV's new reality show - Fresh Meat - the fascinating part is the cast of hot athletic girls. It's a winning combination. You take a girl like Anna Kournikova and yes, she is pretty hot, but when you add in the fact that she plays tennis (and not all that well mind you) then BAM! she is a super hottie. Then we have Maria Sharapova, Jenny Finch, Elena Dementieva, and Mia Hamm to name a few more female athletes that are hot, but super hot because they play sports.

So MTV has figured out that we love to watch young attractive people competing against each other, backstabbing, and in general creating a lot of drama. The reason why we love to watch is because the good side of us, the side with the angel on our shoulder, watches in shock and says, "Oh, I can't believe that!" However, the devil in us wishes that we could be on the show, battling it out, creating drama and not living our 9-5 lives that are somewhat dull in comparison.

The interesting thing about MTV is that they keep bringing back the same people - especially if they were extremely dramatic in the past - like Coral. Coral can't say 3 words without including the F word or something offensive...

And speaking of offensive - did you see the offense the Mavs put on the Suns? Yes, we won game 3 95-88. We had a Mavericks watch party at Dave and Busters and I had the worlds largest headache. It felt like Michelangelo was inside my head carving my brain into the Pieta. With a game on Friday night, a 20 mile bike ride on Saturday, a 3 mile run on Sunday, ManiAAC practice and a watch party on Sunday I did something I have never done on Memorial Day - I stayed home and relaxed. I caught up on emails and some phone calls and then I just vegged out on the couch.

How was your weekend?

The Kindness of Strangers

Yesterday I decided to go for a 20 mile bike ride. I hydrated well and loaded up my iPod with a great playlist and then headed out in the hot sun with hopes to sweat off about 2000 calories. The temperature yesterday was in the mid 90's and since I don't want to have an uneven tan on my face I didn't wear a headband or sunglasses. About 3 miles into the ride I was sweating like Saddam Hussein hiding in the desert. My eyes were drenched in salty sweat and fortunately I had enough sense to wear wrist bands so that I could wipe my face. The thing about wiping your face repeatedly with salty sweat is that after a while it start to burn. The salt dries on your face and pretty soon every time you wipe you have the sensation that you are getting a micro-dermabrasin facial.

Despite the discomfort I continue to ride. I wish that I had a place to ride where there aren't any cars because I am constantly afraid that I am going to run into someone or someone is going to hit me as I ride through the suburbs of Plano. Yesterday I decided to ride so far that I would be away from the city and perhaps I would have the opportunity to ride without having to pause for so many cars. I succeeded. I rode out so far from my house that I was in between Allen and McKinney and their were more cows than there were houses. Finally I reach a dead end and I know I am about 10 miles from my house and so I turn around and head home. When I get about 9 miles from my house my chain does something funky and totally torques itself into oblivion. I pull over and investigate and at the exact time it breaks this dude rolls up and says, "Hey, is it broke?" I say, "yep". He gets out of his truck and tries to help me fix it and then he offers to take me home. On the way to my house he tells me that he started riding because he had by-pass surgery 4 years ago and the riding helped him to stay in shape. He then went on to tell me that I needed to wear a helmet and that I needed to purchase some White Lightning lubricant for my bike chain once I got it repaired. He was extremely nice and I thanked God for sending him along. If he hadn't stopped and helped I would have had to walk back 9 miles with my bike in tow and trust me - that is a long slow walk.

So a big thanks to Mr. Wilson for the ride home yesterday. I have become a bit jaded about helping people out and I am not sure I would have been so kind to someone in my situation, but now that I have been extended the hand of kindness, I won't be so hesitant to do the same.

P.S. This site design was created as a tribute to our troops. This Memorial Day weekend be sure and thank God that we live in such a great country and thank our armed forces for doing what they do.

Channel 11 with Beth Wagner

This morning we did a quick media shoot with Beth Wagner from Channel 11. Beth was extremely nice and very fun to work with. With over 60 appearances this year including games we have the opportunity to meet a lot of different people, some are really nice, some not so much. Beth was super nice and I really enjoyed myself this morning despite the early hour.

Tonight we play game 2 against the Spurs and I am praying that Steve Nash has an off night.

We are performing our Blues Brothers routine tonight and it is always more fun to perform when the team is doing well and so I am praying that we play well tonight.

GO MAVS!!!

I've been naughty...

I got a comment from a subordinate member of The Blog Patrol giving me a citation for not posting in "FOREVER". Talk about an exaggerator. I bet when they were a kid they would tell their mom, "I am STARVING!!!" And then their mom would say, "No you aren't, the people in Ethipia are starving." I need to re-evaluate who I have on The Blog Patrol...

It is true though, I have been busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers. Every night this week I have been tied up with ManiAAC/Maverick activities, but heck, we are in the WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS!!!! This is the big time and if the world famous Maverick ManiAACs are going to be on Jay Leno or David Letterman someday then we have to work hard during this crucial time.

So shame on me for not blogging more. It is just that I have given up a lot of the things that I love since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I had to miss the American Idol finale last night (Go Taylor Hicks - I knew you were going to win!) and the final show on Tuesday night. I have missed most of Scrubs this season due to ManiAAC scheduling conflicts and I have put friends and family on ice until we win the National Championship.

Tomorrow morning the ManiAACs will be at the AAC to help with the "Lovely Lady Dunks" contest and so be watching for us on channel 11.

Later Gators.

My Cousin Chanc Fights!

It's a short clip, but it is posted here.

I am really proud of this kid, he has grown up to be a great guy.

Mavericks Beat the Spurs! 119-111 in OT

Man, I was watching the game at the Mavs watch party at Dave and Busters in Dallas and I almost crapped my pants I was so nervous!!

Then we won and I peed my pants just a little.

Wow.

It.

Is.

Blowing.

MY.

MIND!!

What a year to be a ManiAAC!!!

What a year to be a Mavs Fan!

Much love to all my Mavs fans and thanks to all of you who have called and emailed when you've seen me on TV and even when you didn't. I appreciate the love.

Go Mavs! Go Mavs! Go Mavs!

Man Cleavage and Testicular Chafing

Hey, if you kept reading after that title then you are on your own, you have no one to blame but yourself. Also, I am not posting pictures of either and it is not as disgusting as that colon cleansing post that I read over on Jes' site. (the things you girls write about... insert head shake here)

This weekend after I shaved my entire upper body I decided I needed to get some sun on my cranium to even out my color. I slipped into some really comfortable shorts without putting on any underwear because I thought it would be fine. I mean riding a bike is not like playing ultimate frisbee, or doing a ManiAAC dance routine - there are really no parts to jostle about and so I thought going commando would be fine. Besides, the shorts that I was wearing are super soft and they breathe really well and I thought it would be really comfortable to not wear restrictive undergarments. So I am riding along and everything is quite comfortable and breezy, then I start sweating like a banshee and things start to chafe and I am 5 miles into my ride and I have 5 more miles to get back home. At first it isn't too uncomfortable, but by the time I get home I can barely ride or walk and the burning is comparable to that time I flew over my handle bars while riding downhill and I landed superman style on the asphalt. Yep. That painful.

A hot shower and some Gold Bond Select comfort soothed the chafing tremendously and I made a mental note not to make that mistake again.

You single ladies might not know this but when a guy sleeps on his side if he has any chest at all he will have cleavage. Well, that cleavage can be quite uncomfortable if it has been recently shaved with a pair of clippers. The hair is just long enough that it is prickly. I tried to sleep, but everytime I rolled on my side I would prick myself and wake up. I finally got up and put on a t-shirt and was able to sleep.

So the moral of this story is - don't go commando when going for a 10 mile bike ride and don't shave your chest.

Maybe I will start fighting in UFC Cage Fights! Maybe...

This weekend has been a blurrito! (that means little bit of a blur in Spanish)

Friday night the Mavericks lost to San Antonio and so we have game 7 tomorrow night. I fasted all day and prayed that they would win - okay, not really, but I sure hope they win tomorrow night.

Saturday my parents brought me a washer and dryer. YEAH! I have been using the apartment laundry mat for 2 years now and having a free nice washer and dryer rocks. Thanks Ma and Pa!

Saturday night I drove to Admore, Oklahoma, one of the most biggest podunk places I have been in a while, to see Chanc Gomez, my cousin, fight in a cage fight. When I was getting dressed I almost wore my camo shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt, but I changed my mind at the last minute and dressed a little nicer. When I got to the auditorium I realized had I left on the camo shorts and sleeveless shirt I would have been dressed like 50% of all the other red necks in the place. The sleeveless shirt, the camo shorts, and the goatee - it was like a uniform or soemthing.

Chanc lost the fight. I know, yuck. But it was fun watching him even for a little bit and I applaud his bravery for getting in there in the first place. I am not sure I have the cajones to do that, but I sure am thinking about it. I just need to start training and fighting and maybe I will be the first Mavericks ManiAAC turned UFC fighting champion. maybe.

So Saturday rocked and rocked hard and I had a great time seeing my Aunt Jan and Uncle Chris and all my cousins.

Sunday I had to get up and go workout. I shaved my entire upper body on Saturday - including my head - and so I felt like I was already heading down the path to start training for UFC. I am not kidding. I even did some extra punching exercises with weights just in case I decide to fight some day.

Sunday night the ManiAACs went to a recital at Fair Park music hall. Our amazing instructor Shella Sattler had 57 different acts to show that day including the girl dancers and us. It was fun being there for her because she is so awesome. I am serious, I can't say enough good things about Shella. She makes us work hard and sometimes she is demanding, but in the in you respect her for it and you love her for it. She is a big reason why being a ManiAAC is so rewarding.

Well, I am off to bed now. I skipped dinner so I can start getting ripped for my upcoming fights. I plan to look like Maven from Tough Enough before I am done.

And to Sgt. Pepper, I got to give you a shout out! You guys are totally representin' for the Mavericks and that is awesome. You and the Mavs Army rock!

Night all.

Tony Parker's Girlfriend is a real Desperate House Wife!

Listen to these guys rap about the Spurs - and how lame they are.

Super Fans Mavericks 2

Go Mavericks!

We are still going to win tonight even if Jason Terry got suspended! You can't stop us!

My Lips Are Puffy and Swollen

From Making out with the T.V. Screen...

No, it's not the lyrics to a new hit song by Fall Out Boy, even though it does sound like a lyric they would write. No. It's the truth.

Every time I see Sarah Chalke on Scrubs my heart races, my blood pressure goes up and I am drawn to the screen the way ants are drawn to a pile of sugar. She is what every man wants - vulnerable, a little messed up -but not too much, beautiful, smart, funny, quirky - yep, EVERY MAN wants this ladies so make a note.

So there I am watching her on-screen last night and as I sat near the T.V. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to hers. I looked deep into her eyes and I said, "Sarah, will you marry me and have my baby?" Because I know we would have great kids and she would be the coolest mom and since she is a doctor she could totally fix our kids if they ever got sick or broke a bone. I know that in real life she might not act like Dr. Elliot Reid, her character on Scrubs, but that's okay, we could do these little pretend sessions where we play like she is a doctor.

And... on a slightly related, but different note since all of my friends are having babies, I have made a list of all the women I would like to have my baby. Note: this list does not include Angelina Jolie, or Christina Aguilera, or even Carmen Electra - I find them all extremely attractive, but they have all been soiled in my mind one way of the other. I just can't get over Christina with Billy Bob Thornton and the whole blood vile around the neck thing. Christina went ghetto for a while and when I saw her I kept imagining the way that she probably smelled, and it was stank. And Carmen Electra is married to the ever-freaky Dave Navarro who looks like a cross between a homeless man and Count Chocula.

All that being said, here is my list in the order of preferred conception:

Sarah Chalke
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Evangline Lilly - From LOST
Eva Longoria
Keri Russell
Halle Berry
Courtney Cox
Mariah Carey
Jewel
Shakira
Catherine Zeta Jones
Salma Hayek
Gabrielle Union
Demi Moore
Cameron Diaz
Kirsten Dunst
Drew Barrymore
Zang Zi Yi
Marcia Cross

And why can't I remember that Asian girls name that was in Alley McBeal and Charlie's Angels? Add her to the end of this list and it is complete.

I think I am going to go into acting, I may not be able to marry one of these celeb hotties in real life, but maybe I could be the father of their children on T.V.

Hey, one can dream...

Mavericks Super Fans - Playoffs 2006

I'm in the Mavs Army! These guys really brought their A-K, I mean A-Game to the play-offs this year. It was so fun to see all the crazy fans and all of the dances and cheers they came up with.

If you don't know what a Super-Fan is, it's a person who dresses up and cheers in order to get into the game free. There are certain groups that really put on some hilarious cheers and I have some video footage of some of them that I will post soon.

Tomorrow night there will be a Mavericks watch party at Dave and Busters in Frisco at the Stonebriar Mall - I will be there and you should come too if you are in the area!!

"You Texas People"

This was a conversation I had in an email with my Cousin Chanc. He is fighting in a UFC cage fight this weekend. If he says, "You Texas People" again he might be in a non-cage fight with me this weekend too. haha.

"Hey are you coming bye yourself this weekend?"

"What time is the fight and where? I need directions and times"

"The doors open at 630 and its exit 32 and go east to C st"

"Um… you are forgetting that I haven’t been to Oklahoma in a while –do I just take 35 to exit 32? That is easy. But is there going to be signs? Does the place have a name? Can you describe the building?"

"You Texas people, Take i-35 north to Ardmore exit 32 go east into town that will turn into Broadway its right on the corner of Cst and broadway"

"Yes, unfortunately, unlike everyone in OKC, we can’t read minds."

Waiting with breath that is bated...

The title of this post comes from a line in Sex in the City, but it is perfect for the way I am feeling right now.

I grew up in Sanger, Texas, a town of roughly 4,000 people, and a lot of cows, a lot horses, and a lot of chickens. We lived in a 2 bedroom trailer and I slept in the living room until our house burned down after being struck by lightning in 1990. We then moved to another trailer home, albeit a much nicer one, about a month later. At the age of 12 I worked at a horse ranch cleaning stalls and feeding horses. From 13-17 I worked for the Lemmons who owned a nice house that I cleaned and newspaper where I labeled papers.

We were all in homeschool when the house burned down and many of our books were burned and the entire debacle ended up really putting me behind in school. One day when I was at church the principal of Liberty Christian saw me and said, "Hey, you need to come back to Liberty and play football." My parents could not afford the 360 dollar a month tuition and so I ended up getting to back to school there on a football scholarship.

After graduation I worked as a janitor at the post office, I drove a special ed bus and I worked as a janitor at a kindergarden in the evenings while taking 11 hours of college. Things were very busy, but after 8 years of working various jobs to put myself thru college, I finished without any student loans and no college debt.

I worked at Boeing for a while building air plane cables and then left there, lived with my sister for 6 months and went to SMU for an MCSE - a microsoft certificati0n that guaranteed a lucrative position - it did. At one point I was working as a contractor making 35 dollars an hour. For one month I had a bring home check of 8,000 dollars - I thought I had hit the big time. That position didn't last and so I took a more secure position making great money at a place called Custom Food Group. The people were nice, but the hours were long and my responsibilities were impossible. After nearly having a nervous breakdown at 24 I quit.

I tried to become a teacher but that didn't work out despite the fact that I emailed my resume to every single school in Texas - public, private, Buddhist, Muslim, you name it, I tried to get a job there and I never did. I finally settled for a job at Texas Instruments. When I interviewed for the job here I prayed to God that I wouldn't get it. 2 months went by and I didn't hear anything and so I assumed that I didn't get it. Then I got a call and I got the job. It was a contract position and so the pay was 17,000 less than what I was making at Custom Food Group. The only upside was the fact that when 5 o'clock rolled around I didn't ever have to work late like I did at the previous job.

After 2 and 1/2 years in the grueling helpdesk I finally worked my way into the posiiton I have now - however, I am still a contractor and that means that I don't have the same benefits as regular T.I. employees have. I work through a company called Ajilon and I have been working here now for 4 years. The problem with being a contractor is that you don't get the great benefits of other TI employees. You don't get profit sharing or employee stock purchasing options and you don't get the great health benefits.

Well, I just found out this week that all of that is about to change. I was offered a position as a T.I. employee and it is almost like winning the lottery for me.

I want to thank all of you internet, for your prayers and love and support. For listening to me gripe, for putting up with my petulance, and for loving me unconditionally.

And if you read through this entire post then that means you must really love me because it was long and boring.

The Great Butt Rap Off - Revisited

i've developed somewhat of a following
sorry to leave you, i know you'll be wallowing
in your own misery once you see
that your words are nil to the highest degree
so get back to your sphincter
before it gets any pinker
cause i whoop ass whereever i go
and honey, you're about to have an electric glow.

And Eddo finishes with one more that is new to this post...

Captain SOS thought he brought it
But brotha nobody bought it...
We all know your butt is white
And my butt is DY-NO-MITE!

When people see your butt they scream
It's so pimply that it is obscene
Like a freakshow at the fair
Your butt's so ugly it's rare

On the front page of the Globe
Your butt they had to probe
Cause it must have came from outer space
and it looks just like your face!

But Eddo has buns of steel
No need for crunches or diet meals
All he needs is lots of protection
From the ladies that want his affection

So Captain SOS you need to bounce
Cause brotha you just got trounced
You thought you had Jes and I beat
But we don't even know how to spell defeeet.
