And you probably know that Rock City is on Lookout Mountain in beautiful Chattanooga, Tennessee. So Rock City is one of Tennessee's most famous tourist attractions, right? Wrong.<br /><br />Rock City is in Georgia by 1/2 a mile. I am heartbroken.<br /><br />Maybe we can <a href="http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/stories/2008/02/22/tennsolution_0223.html">trade them some water</a> for it.Nashville Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01133521974575998974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-51615604726087997552008-03-18T15:23:00.002-05:002008-03-18T15:26:23.183-05:00Biz Card UpdateI think it's time to update my business cards.

The reason was I was telling true stories about my life, and I didn't want any crazy ex-girlfriends to show up at my door with a shotgun or a kid they claimed was mine. Then I opened a restaurant and lost my anonymity. These days, with all the social networking I do for both work and personal purposes, I'm pretty easy to find.<br /><br />I have been shopping for car insurance lately. I got several online quotes. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with a very nice lady at Progressive Insurance. I haven't got a new car yet, so I haven't picked out my insurance yet.<br /><br />Well, I logged onto <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimreams">my LinkedIn</a> account today and noticed that there was a bump in the people who looked at my profile. Well looky there, I'm suddenly a person of interest from people in the Insurance industry, including a person in Customer Service at Progressive.<br /><br />So why are they Googling me? Is it curiosity? Due Diligence? Racial profiling? I don't know. It's just a little creepy.<br /><br />If you are here because I'm inquiring about buying insurance from your company, you really ought to hear the story about the time I got shit-faced drunk and stole a police car and crashed it through the window of a daycare, killing hundreds of toddlers.

In 1987, I was in a band called The Cartoons that was pretty popular in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, especially in our hometown of Denton, Texas. We were contacted about playing at the first SXSW conference.<br /><br />"Just another music festival that wants us to play for free," was our attitude. We declined. We assumed that SXSW would fizzle out after a year or two, as most of those things did.

You may not want to continue reading if you find yourself as an adult with any "issues" about your upbringing.<br /><br />I sent a small fortune to your mother to pay for half of some Nintendo thing. But since that thing is going to be at her house, it doesn't count. Because at seven, it's all about how much you rake in for having an anniversary of the day of your birth. The booty. The spoils. the riches.<br /><br />I got nothing for you. So here's what I'm going to do. On the way to pick you up at school today, I'm going to stop in a WalMart or Target or some other crappy, soulless corporate big box store and grab a bunch of crap made in China and throw some gift bags and tissue paper in the cart and pay for it and put it all together in the parking lot. The whole process is going to take less than 10 minutes.<br /><br />It's not that I'm not thoughtful, it's that you're seven. It doesn't matter what I get, it's going to end up at the bottom of your closet in two days. My job is to teach you the important things in life, like golf course etiquette and a love of football and an appreciation for sarcasm and the proper timing of a punch line. You'll lose interest in some kind of Polly Pocket Animal Care Center in no time. Learning to be a total smart-ass just like dear old dad will last a lifetime.<br /><br />Happy birthday.Nashville Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01133521974575998974noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-77376390859632242232008-02-19T08:25:00.003-06:002008-02-19T08:32:58.054-06:00Cuban StrategeryThis is a great day in U.S. Foreign policy!

And if I'm reading someone's blog and they start talking about a dream, I go on about my merry way without reading.<br /><br />However, two nights ago I had a major tornado dream. The sky looked like the sky toward the end of the Wizard of Oz, except instead of flying monkeys, the sky was full of tornadoes of all sizes. And I was running from shelter to ditch with several folks, playing dodge the next twister.<br /><br />Last night, a sky full of tornadoes hit Tennessee. As I was laying awake last night at 2 a.m., listening to the tornado sirens wailing and the winds howling and the thunder booming, all I was concerned about was the fact that I was naked. I wondered if I should get up and put on some sweatpants or something, because if a twister came and blew up the house, I didn't think it would be appropriate to be wandering around the neighborhood in the nude.<br /><br />Then it occurred to me that there wouldn't be any wandering. If a tornado blew up the house, it would take me out with it. And I thought that would be appropriate, to leave the world the same way I came into it.<br /><br />So I've decided that if I start to experience chest pains and numbness in my arm, my courses of action will be to take an aspirin, call 911 and take off all my clothes.<br /><br />I hope that doesn't happen in an important business meeting.Nashville Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01133521974575998974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-86571866142233854122008-01-10T15:31:00.000-06:002008-01-10T15:34:08.466-06:00New Favorite SongThis song was released in 1971 by The Holy Modal Rounders.

The power to be heard. An American blogger in the Iraq war, Andrew Olmstead, was killed yesterday. He wrote a post to be published if that happened. Whatever you think about the war, <a href="http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/01/andy-olmsted.html">you should read this</a>.Nashville Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01133521974575998974noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-38439686005726056642008-01-04T08:42:00.000-06:002008-01-04T10:11:40.967-06:00Playoff BoundSome thoughts (off the top of my head) on Sunday's playoff game, Titans V Chargers, 3:30 Central (God's time), on Sunday.<br /><br />Roydell Williams broke his ankle in practice yesterday. What are we talking about? We're talking about PRACTICE, man! He has been the leading receiver this year. Bo Scaife is out. He's been the second leading receiver this year. We're relying on guys like Troupe and Ealy and Gage and Moulds. You know, the slow guys who drop a lot of passes. My prediction: LenDale left. LenDale Right. LenDale middle. Repeat.<br /><br />Some (Merrill Hoge) are saying Kerry Collins should play because he had a good game against Indy's scrubs who were laying down anyway. Vince Young has struggled all year. He's also 17-11 as a pro. If you think Fisher is going to sit him when he is able to play, you've lost your mind.<br /><br />The Chargers will have very little home field advantage. It is forecast to rain on Sunday. I used to have a job where I went to San Diego every Thursday. From my experience, it is 72 and sunny every day there. The game isn't even sold out yet, the league had to give the team and extension on the blackout. Nobody in SoCal wants to sully the Jag for a football game. Plus, nobody there has heard of this mythical place, "Tennessee." Look for the crowd to be thin and apathetic, compared to other playoff atmospheres.<br /><br />The Titans' injuries are mostly on offense. The reason we won 10 games this year is because of the defense. Look for Philip Rivers to actually start to cry midway through the third quarter, when he takes his second safety. Bring on Volek.<br /><br />Prediction: Titans 4, Chargers 0.Nashville Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01133521974575998974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-2954156383146899922008-01-03T12:07:00.000-06:002008-01-03T12:11:26.549-06:00Google 'emThe great thing about this internet thing, is when someone from your past pops into your mind for whatever reason, you can just Google 'em to see if they've done anything Google-worthy, and perhaps even re-connect with them. I've found old friends from college, but not anyone farther back than that.<br /><br />I thought of a guy I sorta knew in Junior High the other day. I Googled him. He became fairly famous in his field. He's also been dead for 10 years.<br /><br />So much for that tearful reunion.Nashville Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01133521974575998974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-63485586607527622612008-01-02T19:23:00.000-06:002008-01-02T19:25:57.436-06:00Signs, Signs, Everywhere a SignsNFL Refs started using microphones to call penalties in 1975.
