My Favorite Blank

You just completed the deal on your new home and you’re all ready to move in! So what is the first thing you want to do? I’m sure with all the hassles that go with buying a new home, you will just want to take your time moving your things into your new house. You’re probably very excited and do want to spend the night in your new home. I guess just getting the couch moved in or laying down a mattress on the floor would be good enough for a bed that first night.

I have lived in my house for the last 30 years and I was 5 when my family last moved. I don’t know what I would do first if I was to move into a new home. I keep having these dreams that I have moved into another house and it seems sad to leave my home where I currently live. So I’m not looking to move no time soon, but I’m sure if I won the lottery that would cheer me up enough to move. I have help friends and relatives to move into their new homes and it’s no fun carrying all the furniture to your new house. I guess the feeling is different if it’s you that is actually moving and maybe it’s just not fun because I have been on the helper end of things.

If you have recently moved into a new home in the last year or two, feel free to share your story on what the first thing it was that you did. Since I have not moved in the last 30 years, I don’t really know what to do and was just curious to what new home buyers were doing when they first moved into a new home. This knowledge might be good if I ever move and maybe I can learn the things not to do, when you first move in.

I’m sure for those that are watching their waist lines; they probably don’t eat a lot of fried meats. I was wondering if the majority of people on diets would prefer fresh fish or seafood as their daily meat or perhaps they like would like baked or boiled chicken better. If you’re on a diet, you do have to watch what you eat and if you fail this part of your diet, even the best diet pills in the world won’t help you. So be sure to focus on your diet and you do want to include a meat each day.

I think a sandwich, hoagie, sub or some type of deli sandwich is a good way to get a small portion of meat daily. Meat is a good source of protein and just adding a little ham, turkey or roast beef on a sandwich is a good way to get your daily meat. I’m sure chicken is more convenient to fix than a nice piece of fish that’s been grilled to perfection. So I understand more people on diets eat chicken compared to fish, but if you had your choice of which one to eat, based on taste and nutritional value, would you prefer that catfish off the grill or a big juicy chicken breast that’s been cooked on the grill. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to find chicken recipes or fish recipes online, so you should have plenty of choices on how to prepare each one. Just let me know if you like chicken or fish better!

It seems many are surprised by the Atlanta Hawks and how they have managed to win two games in the series with Boston in the playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks had no national tv games this year and most still don’t know much about the Atlanta Hawks. I even heard one announcer say that the Boston Celtics had a lot deeper bench that the Atlanta Hawks. That is completely not true and just because you don’t see the Atlanta Hawks bench not playing, doesn’t mean our guys can’t play. The best shooter on the team hasn’t had a chance to play yet and Jeremy Richardson could really give the Hawks a boost, if they would just play him. Solomon Jones showed his value in game 4 of the series as he made some great blocks in that game. Josh Childress should be starting for us and next to Manu in San Antonio; Josh Childress is the best 6th man in the league. Salim Stoudamire has the 2nd sweetest stroke on the roster and Acie Law is solid for a rookie. After all of these guys coming off the Hawks bench, you still have ZaZa Pachulia who was effective enough to get Kevin Garnett upset and he had no fears in staring down the Big Ticket.

Who knows if the Atlanta Hawks will win another playoff game in this series? Atlanta has one of the most talented teams in the NBA, they have lacked a coach and for some reason they still think Joe Johnson is a star in this league. He gives up points on defense and has too many silly turnovers and bad shot selections to be a star in the NBA. Joe Johnson gets a chance every game to be a star and only comes through 1 out of every 4 or 5 times. In the case of the playoff series with the Boston Celtics, Joe Johnson is 1 for 4. Josh Smith has put the team on his back all year and he is the only reason the Hawks got to the playoffs and have a couple of wins under their belt in the post season.

You can obviously see the Boston Celtics will never be champions with this group of guys. Ray Allen is a superstar and can carry a team on his back too. Ray Allen is a great NBA athlete and role model for the league and does everything right. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are nothing but thugs and you can’t win a championship in the NBA when your too busy bragging and making gestures in the game. Those first two games in Boston, Kevin Garnett was silly bumping his chest and yelling out loud like he was the big bad man. He’s a 7 footer with a soft touch and very athletic. He doesn’t have the heart to be a winner and that thug personality of his will lead Boston to an early playoff exit. Paul Pierce is no better and these two belong on a team together. I’m sure Ray Allen is regretting the move to Boston and I won’t be surprised to see Ray Allen win a NBA championship one day. There is a reason Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce has never won an NBA Title and they have showed that in the last 4 games.

If Atlanta wins at Boston in the 5th game of the series, everyone will get to see Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce for them self. They will come to Atlanta for the 6th game of the series and will just pout. Just keep your eye on Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and look at all the cheap shots they deliver to Hawks players. Atlanta was just happy to make the playoffs and they would have let Boston win this series without a fight. Instead Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett decided they would beat a dead horse and brag about their defeats in game 1 and 2. BIG MISTAKE! You can blame these two directly for giving the Atlanta Hawks life in the 2008 NBA playoffs and nothing will come easy for Boston for the rest of this series. The Hawks won’t lie down no more! They aren’t coach well, but they have ballers that can ball and the Boston Celtics to not!

I have the next rock ballad for the top 10 rock ballads of all time. I really like this song and it’s worthy of a top 10 pick as one of the greatest rock ballads of all time.

5th Best Rock Ballad of All Time

Great song!

The number 5 song on the countdown is Love Is On the Way and the band that sang that song is Saigon Kick. The band came from Miami, Florida in 1988 and this was their biggest song. It managed to climb up to number 7 on the Billboard Pop Charts and was played in all the clubs during it’s release in the early 1990’s. The video had a long run on MTV and was in their top 10 video countdown for many weeks back during the 1990’s. I bet the band probably thought that would be the last awards this great rock ballad would be given, but I am pleased to announce to the members of Saigon Kick, that you just got 1 more award for that great song! You got your song on my top 10 rock ballads of all time and this almost 20 years later! I think people will still enjoy listening to Love Is On the Way by Saigon Kick 20 years from now too.

So what are your thoughts on the countdown so far? Maybe you didn’t know I was having one and have no idea what other rock ballads I have selected to this point. You can go back and review the previous 5 songs and you know the band Saigon Kick made the list at number 5. That leaves me with 4 more spots to try and find the top 10 rock ballads of all time. It’s going to get difficult, but the best rock ballads are still to come! Any ideas on what you think the top rock ballad of all time is? I would love to hear thoughts on your favorite rock ballad of all time or feel free to list 2 or 3 of them.
