CRAWFORD COUNTY WINS, COLONIALS FALL & I AM HEADING TO EAST CAROLINA

The Crawford County Eagles picked up there 2nd win on of the season last night beating Spencer 14-6 and with the win the Eagles are now 2-3 on the season and will play at Macon County next Friday and I am predicting another win next week. The CH Colonials fell to Prince George last night 26-7 on Prince Georges Homecoming, the Colonials are now 2-2 and will face a very potent Dinwiddie offense at home next week where it will Homecoming for the Colonials. Down at the beach First Flight improved to 5-0 on the season with a 34-0 over Cape Hatteras, next week the Nighthawks will be at Northeastern. I will be heading down to see the East Carolina Pirates face the Houston Cougars today, hopefully the Pirates can rebound from last weeks loss and N.C. Sate. The Virginia Cavaliers will be at Duke this afternoon to face the Blue Devils and believe it or not Duke is favored by 7 points, it has been years since they won an ACC game. The Georgia Bulldogs have a very big game in the SEC today when the Alabama Crimson Tide come to Athens, I can't believe Scott picked Alabama to win this game. Juan Pablo Montoya thought he captured the pole for this weekends race at the Kansas Speedway but his #42 failed inspection because of a shock issue and now will start at the rear of the field and Jimmie Johnson will now start from the top spot. There is still a bit of drizzle falling this morning here in the Heights, I don't know about everybody else but I am tired of all the rain we have had the last few weeks. I did make it down to the Wal-Mart this morning and I got some chocolate donuts instead of glaze for a change. MICKEY

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it. WALT DISNEY

Perseverance
Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Give yourself the power
Your power depends on your perspective. And your perspective is yours to choose.

If you convince yourself that you're having a bad day, you will indeed experience a frustrating and unproductive day. If you assume that circumstances are allied against you, then you'll encounter great trouble in getting anything done.

There is a much more powerful alternative. You can choose to adopt and embrace a perspective that will work for you rather than against you.

Think of how you would feel if conditions were perfect, if your actions were highly effective and if everything was going exactly your way. Then, once you imagine how it would feel, go ahead and allow yourself to actually feel that way.

How would you act today if you knew you were going to be completely successful? Go ahead and act that way, and the success will come.

Put yourself in a position of power by choosing to feel the positive influence and effectiveness that you know is yours. Adopt the thoughts, feelings and actions of success, and you will indeed bring success to life.
