I am a little bit of a news junkie.
I like reading everything from local to global - from the "feel good" to the "Debbie downer" kind of stuff.
Here is some quick hits on items that piqued my interest today:
Vincent Jackson signs $55,555,555 (ocho cincos) contract with Buccaneers
I may be completely wrong, but Jackson may not be worth all this hoopla ... $55 million is not chump change! He is an amazing player and a huge beast .... He was also a bit of a drama queen last year (not all his fault), but a distraction nonetheless. He also turns 30 in January ... That is kind of old in WR years. So, the Bucs are going to invest that much on someone who is approaching the downhill slide of their career and is known for being a bit of a diva ... ask Randy Moss or T.O. how much it has paid off acting a fool.One just signed a one-year deal with San Fran after practically begging teams to give him a chance and the other is playing with a North Texas indoor arena football team that has about 150 people in the stands ....I think Mr. Jackson will do the Bucs good the first year or two as long as he isn't making bratty princess demands... we shall see on the rest.
In other news ....
Robbers hold up man in wheelchair in Fort Wort
There is low ... and then there is this. An elderly man on a motorized wheelchair was robbed at gunpoint by two stellar individuals. What kind of person does that? I am guessing someone who is making a living stealing from others doesn't have much of a moral compass, but c'mon man! I hope the scumbags are caught ASAP!
Also ....
Forget stealing copper fellas ... here is what the thieving community is buzzing about now:
500 Pound Beehive Stolen From Outside Houston Restaurant
Who knew bee hives were such a hot commodity? Having them around seems annoying to me. BUT, I do like the end result.
And finally ...
And finally ...
When I read this headline, originally, I thought: "Good for her."
I worked hard for everything I have and I will expect my children to earn what they're given as well.
But, after reading the story, there seems to be some untold tidbits lurking between the lines. For starters, the article says she inherited her empire from her father. It also states that her children were gives a stake in the trust. But, mommy dearest decided they were unfit to have it and took legal action to block them from the trust. Maybe she has good intentions and her kids could possibly be immature little brats.
Bottom line, I would rather have my modest life with lots of love and laughter than having all of that money drama.
