Get Ready Homestead – The ’80s Are Back !

Over the past 11 days we’ve only hit the 80°F mark once – last Thursday. We came close today – 78°F officially at Homestead ARB at 4 PM.

Get ready for an extended period of tranquil South Florida weather as we put the month of January to bed and usher in the month of February. For at least the next 7 to 10 days you can expect mostly sunny skies, virtually no rain, light tropical breezes from the east, southeast, and south, and no cold fronts. Daytime high temperatures will reach the lower-80s each day, and overnight low temperatures will hover in the mid-60s. It’s what we expect here in our subtropical paradise during this time of the year, and it’s what we’re getting. Get out there and enjoy it !

The Chris Day Club

This is not me; however, if I ever feel the need to register a trademark with the United States Patent & Trademark Office then I can’t think of a better lawyer to represent me than one who has the same name as me.

I once thought about registering ‘MASSIVESMASH.COM‘, ‘Major Hitwaves’, and ‘The Major’ back when my web site was flying high at its peak about a decade ago, but I never followed through with it past the ‘thinking about it’ stage. Once upon a time the ‘MASSIVESMASH.COM’ domain name was worth tens of thousands of dollars, but then the ‘dot-com’ bubble popped. Nowadays the domain name is probably worth a mere hundred or so dollars. I was criticized back then for not selling out my identity on the web. I’m glad that I held strong and kept it. It was a fun 12-year ride, but this blog right here is my new passion.

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Everyone’s waiting for Tuesday night here on my blog to see what’s on my mind this week, so here we go. Fasten your seatbelts. Hold on to the railings. Don’t look down.

1.  For those of you who think that you can’t train a cat you quite obviously never met my beloved Boots (1995-2007) – the smartest cat that ever lived. One time he threw my dirty socks in the dirty clothes basket. It was a one-time good deal. He just wanted to show me what he was capable of doing, but he wasn’t about to pick up after me on a regular basis.

2.  He or she who is always in a hurry, runs stop signs and red lights, and speeds out-of-control probably has high blood pressure and throws a lot of temper tantrums. Slow down. See a Doctor.

3.  Super Bowl XLII could be played on a chilly and rainy Sunday afternoon in the Arizona desert. I’m sure that’s not what the NFL bargained for when they awarded the Super Bowl to the University Of Phoenix Stadium back in 2003.

4.   There once was a mean and ferocious dog that terrorized the entire neighbourhood by the name of Tosha. She lived high atop a hill. Amittyville. It’s the house on the hill !

5.  You know what Homestead really needs ?  This place. The closest one is a good 25 miles away. Put one down here in Homestead on Campbell Drive and then save a seat for me at least once a week for Lunch.

6.  I’m going on a short little road-trip vacation during the upcoming Presidents Day Weekend over to Fort Myers and Naples. In addition to this event I also plan to visit this place and this place. It’s been awhile since I visited Florida’s Paradise Coast. It’s my goal to help get us out of this fake recession that we’re in by spending money in the good name of tourism.

7.  Hatred and Racism is alive and well within the comments that are frequently left behind by readers on The Miami Herald’s official web site.

8.  I have nearly 25 Life Pointe Church ball-point pens laying around my computer workstation here. The reason why I do not have 55 pens here is because I’ve recently returned 30 pens for redistribution. I’m a Compassionate Conservative.

9.  I voted for this guy via absentee ballot last week, but the fact of the matter is that whoever wins the Republican nomination for President later this year is the guy that I will support and vote for – unless it’s this guy.

10.  I can’t imagine living anywhere else than the great state of Florida for the rest of my Life.

The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

OK club members – It’s that time again to mull over another interesting message that I received within my fortune cookie as part of my delicious Chinese Food Lunch today … but first if it’s Sunday it is “Meet The Press”.

‘You will take a chance on something in the near future.’

Let me tell you something here. If I’m not taking chances then I’m not taking risks. If I’m not taking risks then I’m not progressing forward and seizing those moments. I’m not making an impact. I’m not “Chasing Daylight”. God did not want us to be mundane mannequins. He wanted us to live. Jesus Christ died for us so that we could live. To be mundane is to be dying. I’m not about being mundane anymore. I have awoken. I’m on a journey. Moving forward. Taking chances.
