About J.C. »

~~~ A message for my friends ~~~
I want to let you all know that I not be very active for the near future. I will try to read all articles posted to my board, but will not be doing much writing or commenting. Hope to resume the great sporting interaction with you all very soon.

A Los Angeles born hard core fan who has been based in LA, Orange and San Diego counties. Dabbled in radio while in college, now helping folks real estate wise in the Glendale-Burbank part of Los Angeles.

Avid follower of the major team sports: baseball, football, hockey, soccer and hoops.

Have the greatest appreciation for a collection of individuals who are able to put their personal concerns aside to achieve a team goal.

Philosophies in sport:
1- Offense scores points, defense wins games.
2- Don't talk (crap) before you putt.
3- Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.
4- If you want to smell the roses, you gotta deal with the thorns.
5- Baseball is Life, Football is Passion

Hey J.C.,
Totally understand what you meant. Life happens...and while I like to be on B/R all the time, life calls, and I have to remove myself from this awesome place and work.
Let's face it J.C., whether we like the Bruins or Trojans, we need to stick together and support Dodger Blue (even if we separate on college sports). It's how life rolls, and we show our true color by accepting those who don't share the same opinons. So, guess what? You're alright in my books (you Trojan love, Bruin hater B/R member you!) =)

Oh! Now I see about the Glaus comment. No offense had been taken, by the way. Just wondering. That'd be a great idea! I liked how you said they're good looking Hollywood type guys. I never thought of them that way because I just loved the way they played. Troy Glaus, too. So that's interesting...maybe I'll do a Bruin Report, and since you love the Dodgers and all that encompasses LA, you'll want to read it. But, again, my editing takes longer than my writing, so I'll definitely get on that and put it in my "works in progress" folder.

Until then, rock on Lakers! And...so sad about the loss to the Cubs. Come on...we lost to the Cubs! Seriously?

It's good to be an LA fan. We're really rockin' the boat right now!

I did a new slideshow that I hope you will enjoy. It's relatively brief so I would appreciate if you could take time out to read it. Thanks!
