Ray Didinger blames the fans and the owners and states, “Fans are angry about the lockout and they are showing it.” The new schedule is out but fans are not enthusiastic because they don’t know if there should be excitement. Thoughts loom about doing something different on Autumn Sundays. Are the fans really blaming both the owners and the players? Who started this lockout anyway? Well we do know the next court date is May 16, 2011 and we should know a little bit more than…!
In other NFL news some late greats have past, Jim Mandich, Gene Gossage. No NFL on TV so we heard contracts, locked out. You can hear about Ochocinco on twitter and you can watch and get the full story as he tweets about workouts, Soccer and his life, always much love to his fans. So do the players want to play or is it all about the money?
Well according to Didinger they better listen up to the fans and consider all parties, it is not just about the owners or the players. I know as soon as the Seahawks got wind of the lockout lift coach Pete Carroll opened up the doors and passed out playbooks. The short interruption allowed calls to be made and playbooks to get in the mail before the doors were locked again. Sounds like players were ready!
Ochocinco reported the NFL Commissioner made a call to him I guess just to check on his twitter etiquette or perhaps to congratulate Ochocinco on his Soccer Tryouts. One can only guess about the NFL as league owners protect their interest and players create their own public persona while unemployed football players.
Bleach Report makes claims “if the NFL loses its request to grant a stay on the NFL lockout, it could cease to become a business and shutdown completely.” That is if the NFL owners do not get what they want, then who would be the blame for the NFL total lockout? This might force the players to accept the owner’s terms, to begin the games and ensure a better deal for owners in 2011.
Whatever the case most news reports just want to report a deal and a new season. Fans are tired of the legal jargon: decertification and litigation. We already know football brings in the most revenue world wide because the fans love the game but even more TV contracts. So will there be a football season because the players want to go to work and owners could stand to lose money.
That’s if owners haven’t already secured their TV contracts, could cause revenue loss then or are they already secured?. There are claims that the NFL has secured TV contracts to prevent loss of revenue in 2011, in case there is a lockout all season. There maybe a DirectTV contract. Nevertheless; the NFL generates the bulk of their monies, through very large TV deals. According to Neilsen in 2008 five of the top ten single events were NFL related.
Can we get ready for some football? One can only hope at this point or else we will just watch more Reality TV and hope Ochocinco has a show!

Ochocinco U Stream
"The judge does not define the turning point in her opinions, but it is clear in reading them that she was enormously impressed with a series of affidavits (sworn, written statements) from Berthelsen and knowledgeable player agents that described the precarious nature of an NFL career. Sitting out an entire season, the affidavits explained, would result in "diminishment of skills that would shorten or end the careers of some players." according to ESPN Commentary
Well why are the NFL Players still in a "lock-out?" Due to a temporary stay order granted to owners as they appeal to higher courts. Now NFL players are still restricted away from NFL facilities, leaving them without pay, health insurance, rehabilitation and sights of a NFL season....as the clock ticks. How long will this last? Well the owners could very well abandon a season, their commissioner has reduced his salary down to a single dollar. Besides the NFL produces the most revenue of any sports league in the world.
"..ever-present risk of career-ending injury and the constant physical wear and tear on players' bodies." The owners offered nothing in response to the descriptions of players' plights, so those descriptions of the uncertainties and dangers of NFL careers were uncontradicted. Nelson was clearly impressed. If they were not the turning point for Nelson, the affidavits were a major factor." states Lester Munson on ESPN Commentary
However, will higher courts appeal. Not likely since Judge Nelson has done her homework according to Munson. Owner's attorneys relied on everything to convince Judge Nelson. Although she was adamant that relying on prior Supreme Court decisions was "deeply flawed" as owners attorneys hoped for her to look at the Labor Relations Board. Quite frankly the owners are trying to reconsider the rule that governs monopolies; which control entire markets, however the players have decertified and filed an antitrust law on the lockout. A major move against owners, while owners stall for time and money.
Now players wait to play a game they love, while fans sit on "pins and needles," and the owners fight basing arguments on a case known as "American Needle." Meanwhile in OCNN Breaking News, live news feed covering play by play Ochocinco action off the football field. Ochocinco is where it's happening...while he works out during the lockout to maintain his athletic prowess and power. Ochocinco does keep out of trouble while entertaining and having fun, the same as he enjoys himself on the field.
The games have only begun? As Judges decide the fate of the NFL by reenforcing the Sherman Act (antitrust laws) and keeping the interest of the public, we love football! Ochocinco definitely keeps his fans in mind, All Eyes on Ocho! We cannot wait to see what Chad will do next, meanwhile owners appeal to avoid sharing a profit with their NFL players. Keep Your Head Up and just watch Ochocinco! He will display his superior athletic talent sharing workout strategies on twitter, just plain thoughts, bull riding plans, while being charismatic and cool. In the words of Ochocinco "What Lockout? I Salut U, Child Please!"

May Day
Im watching movie scenes. I am planning to shoot a short film. What is a short film just a quick glimpse of miniature scenes that begin and end to create a miniature story. I am the camera woman, the actress and the set director. Oh and the costume chick. Just don't know exactly what she will be doing besides self appreciation. So I figured I would go to brunch and write some ideas of self appreciation and brain storm this world she lives in. Wait a minute what is her name?
What is in a name? Lots for some, although it clearly can't define a whole person. It can only really make an initial statement that helps you create an outline to lay out who you really are at that moment. Most are changing, although some are staying the same. So those that are changing have to introduce every time. That is what the name does introduces you and then you lay out the blueprint.
So I have already designed the idea for this short because ultimately I want this character to introduce herself through her glory. Introduction through her appreciation of herself and feeling all the amazing things she is inside. Should not be hard although the intricacies must be perfect. I am excited are you. What do we do when we first get up and appreciate ourselves? Look out the window at the sun filled sky. Giving honor to the greater picture that guides us and gives us light.
Light is a character because as the sun goes down we seek the artificial. Seeking the artificial sucks especially as humans we should seek what is natural candles I need candles. I have a prior short that was done using candles and it was amazing with an artist that sings. So this art is visual she can bring song to pictures and that is what this short will do. Thanks so much for allowing me to share and get into my world as I walk you through amazing picture stories with words and dimensions unknown.
Seek yourself!

Prince Harry: Not Permitted by a King
Prince William is getting married and Prince Harry is his best man. Although journalist are looking closely at Prince Harry as the Washington Post states “The world is just wilder about Harry….”
Why are they calling Harry “The Spare Heir?” Williams little brother is a mountain trekker, a pilot and the next guy to the future King. “The Spare” according to The Washington Post. In the old days the spare would be dispatched abroad for strategic marital alliances. Nowadays they debate the point of sovereignty.
The reduction of Harry’s power by the Washington Post makes you wonder even more about this interesting young man who is his brothers “Best Man.” So far he has a dynamic life and what role will he play once his brother becomes king? Surely we know that sibling relationships are undisputed and he will factor prominently.
Although the story in our Nation’s Capital has him pegged like the plague since Williams first child will be next in line and then their first and so on and so forth. So will Harry go with the old antiquated tradition and marry off into some other prominent country's sovereignty? Harry definitely just wants to support his brother and is fond of his sister in law as he has stated.
I think by enticing Harry to the United States to marry a good ole American queen might just be divine. After all they don’t seem to appreciate the sovereignty of the spare in England so it seems. Who is this lucky catch, since Hollywood seems to be where we encapsulate our prominent figures who is up for the taking? Could Harry fall in love with an American gal or would the Queen not have it?
Well we do have sometime since right now we are worrying about Prince William and Harry is only a blur. He has time to grow and add on to his own royal pursuit because one thing we know for sure they will not be gifted to Harry. As long as we can keep Harry away from wild parties and swastika and if he can maintain focus. Harry will be a great add on to the throne and provide good company for his brother just in case he wants to let loose around the collar. Although we all know this is not permissible for the King.

Packing up to Leave Home
It is never easy to leave your comfort zone but for those of us who just love to go and see the world seeking something we love, travel is everything. However, getting geared up to go is the hard part, we never really want to leave the comforts of our home. So we take everything that we need to make sure that we are set up properly, home is where the heart is. This will be an interesting journey. “Just go do it already!”
When I left to go to Washington, DC I had prepared properly. Peace. I didn’t really want anything but a change of scenery and not to have to cook. Those two things were simple leave and stay in a hotel without a kitchen. Now off to see the Wizards although basketball playoffs were happening and the Wizards were in the offseason. Oh well there is plenty to do anyway…Museums maybe? Although, I was open to discoveries with those kindred spirits who always have a great vibe, I seek art during my travels.
I checked into a pretty fancy hotel not too much but just enough, family and friends. I should feel comfortable in my bed so I will not miss my house. The bed is one of the most prominent pieces in a loving home and my favorite place to tweet. Three of my top favorite “tweeters:” @mentalorgasm @joigilliam, and @uptshottest! Those three are the realest and quite interesting to dialogue with at any given moment, been with me from the start on twitter. Now I am taking them on the road.
Could not leave town with out my music. Since my new trusty Iphone is “Numero Uno” in the audio media business that should not be a problem. Always can tune into Itunes or YouTube. My trip was ready to go and the “choo choo” train was pulling out that’s my text message sound. “All A Board!” Washington, DC hadn’t really changed to me, although I didn’t see much Chocolate…Red Line Metro!
When I arrived I set up an interview with “Bella” from eclecticscene.com. She was exciting! She was art in the purest form. I was lucky to catch up with her. Never a dull moment we took pictures in the dark, laid in front a flowerbed on the hotel lawn. This chick understands improvisation. She gave me a brief moment in her mind and then she was off to the city like a whirlwind affair.
Next day
We were hiking with @supergirlinc another soul survivor friend. Been there through the thick and thin knew this would be an easy breezy conversation, just interested in a little outlook on life. We met at the Monument, hung out on The Mall and said cheers to baby Jesus and Jah Rastafari before hiking to the Madarin Hotel. No! @supergirlinc was not staying there, that is not her style anymore, she discussed this new person, “Life After Bad Boy.” She is a much natural spirit who appreciates the birds and the tree,s a VA native at birth.
The Big Apple was something in in "SuperGirls" past and she let it be known, after that talk decided to paddle boat on the waterfront and reflect on artistic business. Those two femme fatales represented just that. This trip was coming to an end and my social ecology sight was vamped and curated with the top female dimensions to curate to post on the walls and timelines on Tumblr, Twitter, or Bloggerspot.
This weekend getaway was the turning point into the artistic journey. Realizing I was always in search of inspiration and real live action. Allowing myself to be moved by God and seek the creative flow of life’s energies made me that same kindred spirit wanting to inspire. It is a must to interact and share vital ideas and information in the purest form, art.
So the last day was spent picking up a few fashion pieces. DC has the best in fashion the town is pretty much made up of boutiques reminded me of home. As I drifted back to the bay I knew this was only the beginning of where I was going. Washington, DC was definitely the kickoff and staying in touch with folks to discuss and plan excursions through a travel blog would definitely keep the creative adrenaline pumping. I was recreating myself, becoming a social enigma and about to ooze with creative ideas.
Discovering Yourself While Away…Stay Up with People
I guess this is what “Eat Pray Love” is about the artistic inspirational journey, be inspired. “The Neverending Story” you never want it to end. So when you can defy Mercury and jet set to the moon on a beautiful Sagittarian day hitting up any social networks to see what is popping. You are definitely what is happening, keeping those inspired, the mind wanderer for folks everywhere.
Staying on the latest trends in music, thoughts and clothes, stay tuned for more to come. To Be Cont...On The Ground Running!
