The Mental Test

Oh this is just fine. And now I find out that a few people who know me from my past and even now have thought of me as....well.... I won't feed their fire. I do know I'm not the best chess player there is but I am impressed by Magnus Larsen the top chess player and his attitude. People who play chess are thought of as being intelligent a human characteristic. It is true I can play the game and I ran into a legend of the game through another source of a social out let which is the game of tennis even more competitive than chess in terms of those who follow the game of tennis vs chess. I've been a competitor in both these games more or less on a social level enough to know that one should not be all consumed and allowed their inner soul or any soul to be devoured. These are just games as I've been told in the course of my games playing days; I shall consume and enjoy the games for what they are the games will not consume me. I've never met Bobby Fischer but I did meet Walter Browne a competitor of Bobby Fischer in the top echelon in the field of chess. Whether Bobby Fischer was truly mentally ill toward the end of his life in my opinion remains a question but I do know it didn't look good for him toward the end of his life. He did have issues to settle with despite his great ability to take the game of chess and bring it to the highest level during the cold war when Russia and the United States faced off each other and rather destroying each other in a nuclear war the two countries decided to settle the matter by playing chess. Imagine that. There I just said it and oh my gosh I must be mentally ill myself for even suggesting such an ideal. Is there any kind of logic to what I just said? Ladies and gentlemen of the court you are the judges and you will decide not I or my critics. I do concede this blog called Nerves Galore has eaten away at me caused me grief and torment but if you read my other blog called It Never Takes A Genius you will see that I have leveled out became more balanced and found a newer and better meaning to life rather than playing chess at all costs to win and do nothing but win. Winning is well and just fine but not at all cost if a player thinks like this truly he will go insane. I spoke to the great American champion on the air both of them in fact one was John McEnroe the tennis champion and then Joe Montana the great football star of the Forty Niners . I will address their answers in this following blog but first a word from my sponsors.

I'll Be Back

Yahoo online chess games is on hold. I've played over two thousand games of chess in this program and will play more to come. But the onslaught has been put to a rest for now. I will be back but when I do get back to this game it will be to the advantage of my position and for my enjoyment rather than for my discipline and torture. Isn't this how Magnus Carlsen approaches the game of chess? He might not be number one anymore I haven't even been keeping up with the game. Nevertheless I am going by the edict of the more famous saying or quote of tennis legend John McEnroe if it isn't fun then don't do it! Life isn't just about chess or tennis. It is much much more. Didn't I ever tell you about race car driving? When cars are taken off the road and made to fly then we are going to have something worth while. I have one word to say to the people of the future. The word is HOVER. In the meanwhile I will not deviate entirely from the world of chess it is too compelling of a game to dismiss it will be here for a long time to come it is here this game of chess and it will be here. Where has the once popular game Pacman gone to? But my off the cuff question for you is why have the Chinese been around for so long as an ethnic group or civilization and why have they seemingly come back with a vengeance in their appearance as a super power economically a dynasty which may or may not be as great as the one we have seen in the past The Ming Dynasty? You can see I speak in everyday simple terms as there was once the mighty Forty Niners when they dominated in victories during the rule of Bill Walsh and his player Joe Montana and Steve Young this was the Forty Niner Dynasty. When was it over but the question is is it really over? Is there now another one in the making? And conversely so is China in the beginning of another great dynasty to come?

Pictures Of Things That Hover

The last four pictures I posted are pictures of objects that hover an obession of mine a thing of beauty and future dreams of things to be. Again I repeat myself the car of the future will hover just as the hummingbird, the Harrier Jet and the helicopter does we have seen it in the De Lorean car in the movie "Back To The Future" a car that could hover before it did the time thing. And of course not shown here as yet are other objects that hover like UFO's and yes David Copperfield among a few other top notch magicians who seemingly float and hover in the air a favorite trick used to amaze and astound the public spectators. And my point? Don't dismiss the important concept of the ability to hover it leads to better things. When I was a child Peter Pan was a part of my television fantasy don't give it up live it up Peter Pan lives and grows when some of us were children never say die. He too could hover.

Objects, Things That Hover

Dosing

Today I took time off from the assembly of this do it yourself Big Mac Shed. I just did not have the energy. Nor do I at this time today have the heart to play a game of chess. Rest and desist I say from playing any games of chess the game will always be here for me even in the after life.

Never Say Die

A beautiful sunset with objects whatever it may be machine or bird like the Hummingbird things that can hover never cease to amaze me that is why I sought after an a material and look for these materials that can hover. And so I view this hummingbird from outside of my window in the kitchen bought a toy remote control helicopter of which most people are not aware of but we are out there as small of a minority that we are.

And so like the things or objects that hover I too hover over the game of chess although I appear to be humbled at the game. But my game will never die it just gets postponed somehow I will return. Meanwhile enjoy the ride the sunset is so fine and the objects that do hover will be the next flying car very much in the light of the old movie "Back To The Future" The car will come to be there is little alternative but to go there when it comes time for science fiction and the trend with which technology is going. I do hope however things don't come out exactly the way I predicted it to be for would not things or events be so boring if i could hit on each and every point and predict true to the detail the story of how we become born to the day we die and beyond. Show me the mystery I'm certain God can do this with a big E short for easy.

This is my logo designed to  take away my depression.  Know it well.  It looks like more of a victory sign.  Whatever the case let the games give chase eliminate the mace in my face and put me in an honorable place hold the lace and say the grace for I shall not let up I can make the pace don't you think I might just have one more good hand maybe even an ace? 

In Chess It Is Black Or White In Drawing Any Color Does It

I cannot imagine a sunset done in black or white. My point for today is that when this blog dies is an unknown. Should I have a serious health problem of for whatever reason the chess game reporting may close. There are no clones of me playing chess online that I know of but if there is a way of perpetuating this blog called Nerves Galore I'm all for it but I need to see results after all did I tell you what Joe Montana told me on the air in regards to winning and losing? It could be in the archives
under Robert from Hercules Ca a caller speaks to Joe Montana on winning and losing on KGO radio 810 but forget that my point is that I like to report on victory not defeat. These are my struggles.

When The Author Rides Away On A Horse Nerves Galore Will Be Gone

This is my horse. I was going to show you a picture of a Harley Davidson but this horse will do. No I'm not going to take up horse back riding anymore than I am motorcycling although in my younger days I did but the point is I'm ready to take up on an imaginary journey be it horse or plane or just plain hiking. Maybe another vehicle would be better a horse reminds me of a chess piece and at this point or time of chess play I'm not in love with the game whatsoever. I get so tired of floundering around I'm not improving and besides no one reads this blog anyhow which is just as well spare me the embarrassment. Now if my win/lost record were better I'd get all the admirers making cool comments and I'd get all the well wishers bidding me good will and happy championships. But no that isn't happening. And so here I am complaining and complaining no one loves a person complaining all the time. By the way how do you like this picture of a horse? I drew it no I didn't do it free hand I'm known as a tracer....yes that is right anyone can trace a picture I'm a no talent doodler which is almost as bad as drawing by numbers some say very few people respect anyone that traces. But if I can do it and enjoy the feel of what talented artists do without saying I did it freehand and appreciate a well drawn picture by hand guided by computer graphics or photo images and I don't lie and pretend I do it freehand why can't I draw an occasional picture by tracing or even a ton of pictures by tracing if I don't hurt or deceive anyone? I haven't drawn anything lately nothing new but note in this entry I am complaining relentlessly. Maybe my page reviews or readership will go sky high and this Holden Caufield type or style of writing where the main character is getting nowhere fast is catching the eyes of many. Don't tell me J.D. Salinger's book Catcher In The Rye didn't sell well. Well why not this blog? It's so obvious I'm not progressing in this chess game so what is the point of writing about something so negative about hating to lose so much? There will be a death to this blog Nerves Galore and then there will be no more. My critics can come out finally and make the comments that it is about time after all like that move of long ago entitled or named "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" No don't think it. I'm not about to shoot myself. But you won't have me to kick around anymore. I already found another hobby and there are no losers....really. Take a look I took a picture and it isn't an infringement of someone else. I can take my own pictures. Should I end this blog with the white coats coming to take me away?

After A Lost Game

This picture I drew way back then.  The mood to play a game of chess just awhile ago struck me despite the no good feeling for the game and for my better performance I figured there was a good chance to play sub par and I did.  But  this is one of my finer pictures.  I can't say I know from here where I'm going there is this new format or way to post this blog and yes it is different we must accept changes sometimes for the better other times not.   Yes I agree with Joe Montana the legendary former quarterback for the Forty Niners if you hate losing more than you like winning ....stop here.  I can buy that line.  But what of it?  It doesn't make me any better of a player I'm just plodding along.  Feast your eyes on this picture I drew.  It is very beautiful many people worked on this picture not just myself the digital computer is not an invention of mine I just use the camera and the lap  top computer.  You would think that I could end the blog It Never Takes A Genius which is a label for my accomplishments and change the whole format like a blog with the title WHAT I DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL WEALTHY AND WISE AS WELL AS BEING A GENIUS AND A MAN OF EVERY WOMAN'S DESIRES.  I'm afraid you will never see my write a blog with that kind of title.  This is very unfortunate.  Did I use J.D. Salinger's book "Catcher In The Rye" as model for my current and long long never ending blog(apparently never ending as it took me more than two years to write it and I'm still going.  I spent a considerable amount of time trying to rescue it It Never Takes A Genius when new changes were being made and I had to change things around or have it die.  Do you think I will get any good page reviews for this blog today.  After a lost game of chess the smile I had becomes the frown like that red faced person in the dark I posted.  You cannot identify that photo as being me for that matter it could be you!  Oh I'm sorry dear Reader my error no one likes to be called a loser. 

The Shadows Of My Frown

Being that the number one ranked chess player has a winning record by logic he should be smiling more. But yes Magnus Carlsen is an influence upon me adopting his style of play puts me in the driver's seat and I'm not tortured by the discipline and endless hours of play or practice. Like Magnus Carlsen I play chess when I feel good and the grind to play and practice and practice is not my cup of tea it doesn't pay off too little reward is not gain for the effort put into the game. True Michael Jackson put in endless time honing his craft with little time for his own pleasures but he was driven to excel and sold his soul. My soul is not for sale thank you. My critics are welcomed to make a comment or oppose my point of view. Come on don't be shy. After all we are living in a land of democracy and we have the right to freedom of expression within reason mind you. Make your thoughts known to me. I'm not a preacher nor do I give lectures.

A Cat Can Ward Off Depression

Didn't I say this once before? Yes I did. And being that I did win the next chess game right after I signed out from my first entry of today after being on a caffeine high well it just plain wore off and the next two games I lost. This equals depression. So in comes the cat. Is my depression fading away and am I coming closer toward smiling? Magic cat magic cat chase away all my woes so that next time I will and can beat all my foes be it Joe or even Moe so I can be the victor and shake away all my woes.

True Art Will Checkmate Your Opposition

I have seen the amateur contestants on the very popular television show "American Idol" seen in the beginning of the year. If it were not for the amateurs the success of the television series would be in dire straits. In this presentation of this blog you are seeing an amateur oil painting entitled "Mother Without A Face" an unfinished oil painting by Robert H my pen name. I fear no evil for I painted this picture myself and took the picture with my own digital camera although I am not certain whether I can post a picture of the Mona Lisa without copyright infringements. To be anything more than an amateur would be a surprise to me but we all know what the picture of The Mona Lisa looks like the most popular picture ever on the face of this earth. Leonardo Di Vince composed the picture so by all rights and logic as logic goes he made all the right moves in painting that most famous world renown picture "The Mona Lisa". Do you detect jealousy upon my part? I hope not. My painting I like even better than The Mona Lisa. I'm not at all saying I'm a better artist than Leonardo Di Vince not at all. Many of my pictures are traced from digital pictures my drawings are based on the accuracies of the computer graphics rather than pure artistic skills. If I can capture the hearts and minds of an audience through drawing pictures by tracing from digital photos that I took myself with my own camera then please please let me be what I am. Yes by hobby I am a writer and I love to describe concepts or ideals in words and from these word description this computer puts these words into images. I've said these things many times before it is nothing new. So what is my point as they say so often on the news talk radio shows whenever callers call in to the radio show to make a comment on a particular news topic of discussion. My point is that these pictures I have drawn in this blog are a product of my words which describe a concept or an ideal. If these pictures and words of mine are worth anything I say may they be around as long as the most famous paintings have and will be around. Will they? I often wonder. How could a most insignificant person like me compare myself to such a famous legendary artist, sculptor and inventor such as Leonardo? Or the extremely successful artist Pablo Picasso? That is a very good question. I'll have to take my time and think about it. I think this caffeine is kicking in. You too can do this at home caffeine never killed anyone has it? And now back to a chess game or two.

No Don' t Dose!

For if you dose you lose. It was late night or in the wee hours of the morning when I usually don't do well but I was alert but not losing just tied a few games. My medicine was kicking in so I said why not let me give it a whirl and so I played a few maybe three games total yesterday. I'm playing the Magnus Carlsen way and by that I mean I am playing chess when I feel good and the discipline...well the discipline would make me go mad as Magnus says it would for himself for those who have to grind it out and torture themselves to stay with the game is not his way and it isn't my way anymore either. The nerves won't go away that's a given but I am use to playing online with the live game and not to fret or panic. I will learn to love the game of chess for I will do well and not hate it or appear so negative as one commenter made; Chess Tiger was his name I believe.

Summer Time And The Chess Game Is Sleazy

The daily entries in this blog has stopped. Eighteen days have elapsed since my previous entry and the chess games have been limited. The more I play online the worst my win/lost ratio becomes and the boost for higher rating is just not happening. So much can be said for this blog. But I do like Magnus Carlsen's approach to chess but it must be his raw talent to keep him in the top elite if indeed what he says is correct that he is basically lazy and plays chess only when he wants to. My background was in tennis and I've a few awards to show for my efforts for chess all there was were ratings the numbers but they didn't add up to much for the time I put in I think...oh can I think? Can I? This drawing of mine should be in my other blog "It Never Takes A Genius" but such a picture included here depicts the laziness of this summer's chess game online. All mothers tell your children to do what Magnus Carlsen has done and just play chess on a lazy summer afternoon can't you hear the music to the beat of a lazy summer afternoon for I have played and composed the music and now I wonder why I ever called this blog Nerves Galore?

The Commander

We were brick layers we came to work make money and a living and have families to be giving but then we came to do further things of interest and show our stuff we might be called a band of men who knew what it was to be gruff we played our game in order to gain some fame but we knew when to quit time to say we had enough when we came to show our stuff. We wanted to win and play the game to let others know you win you are smart but when you lose you go down like a dog say bow wow and make a little noise was it a bark?

This on line blog of the name Nerves Galore was launched by the band of men who came to play along with the work we took the break and made the break a game of play it was our way to make the day even if outside the clouds stormy and gray oh I forgot to tell you about The Commander a player who could play the game and talk the bull even cover your eyes with the wool. He pulled a knife he was a black man and mean no man had ever dared to use a knife I sat there rife staring at him with a knife on the table I tried to move but I was hardly able wishing I was in the comfort of my home watching TV on the cable you see he was preaching to me about the sins of high blood pressure my story did not live up to him it did not measure he asked me if I ever saw a man bedridden in a hospital confined due to an illness of the pressures due to the negligence of medical procedures when high blood pressures are not treated properly better to have a knife on the table thrust through my heart than to go on and ignore the high blood pressure. Ever since then I've gone on in life that black man with the knife well he save my life I saw his rage you would think it was enough to make me age no no I don't want to be in a hospital confined as though I was in a cage proceed with this journal you can turn the page.

Born Again A Surfer

Every time I view this picture done in oil on a drawing pad paper I automatically think that this surfer looks like former President Richard Nixon of The United States...honestly I do. The man drawn is suppose to be a self portrait of myself but in no way am I suppose to look like Richard Nixon it just turned out that way. I blunder drawing pictures as I also blunder playing chess and making mistakes more often than not costing me the game. Think of me as a Yankee Doodle doodler and not an artist but if you insist on calling me an artist I will concede some paintings and drawings I do use freehand style but when I read Gareth Prichard's arguments on the merits of tracing posted on my very own website I was convinced there can be virtue in tracing pictures no matter how vicious opponents are to tracing for tracing can put us into the mind and into the being of that particular great master of the arts that we would otherwise never come to know. More on tracing to follow.

Grave Concern The Look Of Nerves Galore

Just when I thought I had enough chess games under my belt and nerves were no longer the issue the jittery old frazzled dazzled feeling of nerves strike at the inner core of my being. Look at this bitter hard look at what my opponents can do to me I hate to lose when one does there is nothing to celebrate and I seek vengeance against those who scored wins off me. As I've said many times before the patterns of the chess pieces become more known as one gains experience playing different players and we chess players just know what to know as the proper pattern to design or construct on the board as we make moves against our opponent. When we draw pictures(see the pictures behind me in the background) we also look for the right patterns or design to draw making each move a crucial move for the right move the correct move the one move to best your opponent until you have checkmate. The end product of a drawing or picture hopefully is not just a good picture but an excellent picture and then much much more a masterpiece which can command in today's market far into the excess of $146 million dollars for a single portrait or picture. See the golden lady her portrait I've posted in this blog. I'm learning to know it better and will make further ado further comment on it in the time to come. We will come to know it and identify the original masterpiece you and I what do you think? Can we do it?

This Is How I Feel

No he doesn't play chess he plays tennis a bigger news media sport or game by far than chess but over all in time and history chess is no insignificant game when one can win at this it is a fine game of course.

Moments ago this afternoon normally my better hours of productivity I mowed down a higher rated chess player his blunder he could not recover from and the one two punch three four five six punches put enough holes in his game it looked like the German blitz a battle short and to the point not the long drawn out game boring and pointless. Was it the sleeping pill I took last night to give myself enough rest for today's battle on the chess board I don't know I think it may have helped in this case but if it worked each and every time I'd be taking it all the time it works sometimes. This game was one of my better games against a 1247 rated player that I have been ducking much lately due to lack of confidence in my game but I said okay the odds are against me but my opponent just plain bungled it and could not recoup this time; a good player can recover his losses and come back from behind to win. I've weathered all these loses and humiliation so that I can win one for the queen of England or the king of Spain or for whoever wants me to win for. I will win one for the fatherland and the motherland.....alright enough enough. But no it wasn't a ten thousand jack pot I had won at the slots but I did feel in control at the time moving rapidly keeping up with my opponent in timed moves rather than showing the weakness of slow and feeble movements of a man affected by PD. My bad days are met by my good days and this moment met up with the bad.

King Kong The Movie

Notice that angry wild animals like this one baring their teeth are so evident in my blog It Never Takes A Genius where I post pictures and write stories. King Kong is a diversion from chess a good movie I saw several times or more of the last version. It is another love story of man and beast or more like beauty and the beast. The movie and even the theme song is a work of art and so I drew a picture of a gorilla from a photo.

I did play a trash talker and he had the lead moved fast and trashed talked my being slower in moving but I held on to over take him he could not handle the pace

Yes I Need A Break

Any time I'm in a chess slump yes I think I need a break from the agony. Yet I manage to plow on and get tortured. No I don't want to be married to the game of chess and to weather the bad times for better or for worst and so forth goes the marriage vows. But I am going to whether I like it or not! And who said so? Did God say so? I don't know.

To The Tune Mission Accomplished

The mission was to score a win or get even as an eye for an eye and so forth. Let us face it America had a mission and like that old television series back in the 70's called Mission Impossible there played a famous theme song to the program. It was catchy. Last week all week long the tune was being played in my head played on this computer as I requested; the current President Of The United States Barrack Obama completed a mission under his command he had Osama bin Laden assassinated. In my mind the music played on and even this moment I can hear that tune. Let me ask this question. Did Obama Barrack score a checkmate against Osama bin Laden?



By the way I conjured up this image this picture through words and Mr. computer here drew one up based on my word command.

Yes Yes I Won I Won Heaven Is Mine Hell Can Wait Now Is My Fate

I'm putting words into this man's mouth he never said those words but my words say the same thing I just won a simple ordinary run of the mill chess game but for some reason it matters I don't take my wins for granted or for so lightly. It is when I can't win any more games of chess then that has me worried I'll never make it back into heaven if this happens. The President of The United States can claim the prize too of course his is far greater than mine today but I'll take what ever I can get thank you very much. I've defined losing too many times well now I can define what winning is like from the last game I played. Don't get me wrong I've won close to a thousand games it is the ones I lost that keep me on my toes. I do like winning more precisely putting it I do love winning I can never get tired of winning too many times.

More Art Please

No, no pictures of a slump is not a pronoun I was always stupid in English structure when it came to understanding adverbs, pronouns and the structures of such diagrams but composition was more up my alley look at all the practice I'm getting writing these blogs and I am well meaning with a passion and love to communicate to my reader God bless you all I can and will reach you with a meaning to all the things we could never understand before even though it never takes a genius or in my case a champion a good or excellent blog on chess does not necessarily have to be written by a champion chess player any more than it takes a champion world class figure of fame and legendary stature to train top notch/elite players turn to legends. Agreed.....the last many lines need to be more fully defined what I created is haze and a maze but you can gain my drift. I'm in a four game losing streak at the present and it is the most God awful feeling these slumps. Nevertheless I am willing to write about my experiences both good and bad I cannot hide the bad from the good. Heaven and hell cannot be separated not in my blog writing experiences. Sit back like I am doing and enjoy the art for art can soothe the soul . Now do you understand what getting back to the drawing board means? The most sought after art piece or painting is not a secret if I know I am violating copyright rules then I will immediately withdraw my posting I am always learning and from my mistakes as in chess I do learn and gain from them. A chess blogger far smarter and higher in ratings said that to me was it not Chess Tiger? The following painting has the colors I do admire. It is a painting created by one of the very best. It is just a painting mind you. Can I find true meaning as I look further into the culture and significance of such a fine painting? View my next posting.

The Good Will Prevail Like The Arts They Cannot Fail

The mad beast is within me but the arts and the pictures can soothe the wild eye monster which lurks within me whenever I get thrashed in a game of chess the monster can be controlled it better be or all hell will be an eternal damnation like a burning dragon in flight burning for all time in hell. These pictures aid in my expression for salvation look at this hummingbird a symbol so similar like a dove the fire of damnation needs the forces of good to allow my sights to focus on what is true and proper.

What About The Game?

Chess wasn't the game that gave me nerves galore it was the game of tennis just before a tennis tournament at times I'd overdoes on caffeine and in fact I'd probably ramp my chess ratings even higher if I took more caffeine but let me face the music I'm pass my prime and I don't want to blow a head gasket in my case raise my blood pressure any more than I have to. Did you know an amazing quote from the Internet mentioned the highest rate of suicide is by men over eight five years of age? If true it is damning I don't want to entertain that thought or statistic a person can read anything off the Internet anyone can say anything we must be our own judge and decide what is the best truth. By the way this is a design on a shirt endorsed by Ivan Lendl a former number one ranked tennis player in the world back in the 70's when tennis to me was hotter and heavier; I was a better tennis player back then than when I took up chess now tennis was my game in tennis I was an intermediate player not the beginner I am now at chess. But this is not without saying I'm not practicing at playing chess online for I am precisely doing this what is frustrating is that I'm not showing any progress in moving up the ladder or becoming a better chess player. When I am winning at chess then you will hear me talk the talk. So far this day I've played eleven games of chess.

This Dodge Viper Is Looking Better Than My Chess Games Today

The photo would have been better to look at but drawing it feels safer or I should have taken the picture of the car and yes I did see in a rare moment this type of car a Dodge Viper when I was at Home Depot just the other day. Yes I'm having not a good day in chess today but then again what else is new? This roller coaster effect is madness.

I Spy an American?

This is a real oil painting. Anyone could say they painted it and take the credit for it. But I did it. I painted it. Do you know what? I'm just too honest to lie. I did lie for a brief moment. Why? But I did buy this picture of an oil painting which looks like a village in Hong Kong or China or one of those Asian countries where people look more like me. And so I am taking another break from chess and viewing an art piece it isn't big time art but this picture is good enough to look like a master did it. Many of us are so easily fooled but it doesn't matter I didn't pay the exorbitant price for this painting done in oil I bought it off a street vendor and his name wasn't Bernie Madoff by golly I hope I didn't slander Madoff's good name?

A Chess Player Must Watch Your Every Move Or Suffer Defeat

This is part of my picture gallery posted up on my wall. I've no comments made on this picture but it seems to say something namely you are being watched this picture is made with the intention of saying something in order to illicit a comment from you. But I don't think it is coming just yet at this time.

Vitamin B 12?

I could use all the extra energy that comes my way whether this vitamin B 12 has anything to do with my energy level being a bit higher is unknown. Google it up and it will give a positive slant on this vitamin. If it did help with my victory over a rated 1238 player just now remains at question. It didn't hurt. The engine searches told me I could put a regular 40 watt bulb in a refrigerator and it would work. That pleased me. The engine search or the Internet also told me that it is not irrelevant as to it's existence in plain simple words but of course. I do have fun putting it to the test the obvious question/answers that I have discovered absolutely to be true but didn't know before. I played above par to beat t his 1238 rated player and the both of us made no obvious errors. I hadn't the nerves was a bit fatigued to play him a second game it would have been to his advantage had I done so. Look mom no pictures today in this entry. Pictures are a good thing they can enhanced the written word a thousand times. Look out for the videos they are dynamite!

My Dream Come True

Yes this car parked in front of my driveway would be so cool what would the neighbors think? It is an Enzo Ferrari a super car I've been gawking at for a few years or more. But no like most people I cannot afford this one....okay that is fine I can live with that. But I will tell you a dream come true that happen today to me. Was it the B 12 the vitamin that is suppose to give you energy that I looked up on the engine search yesterday? Driving up or pedaling up the steep part of Lilac Circle straight on without having to criss cross was one thing something I hadn't expected to do if at all but I did. It still wasn't a big deal. But it was cool nevertheless. Is this all I wanted to tell you? No....not at all.
The real cool thing that happen to me today oh I'm so excited was that last game of chess. I was playing one of the world's assassins like everyone of them are potentially there to do me in and the regular hum drum routine chess moves conservative were being made when I began juggling my queen and my red bishop in the back row fending off his queen and knight from taking one of my pawns the juggling went on and on and I managed to make like I was being manipulated but little did he know my disguise was to move my queen at the forefront with my bishop behind as a backup his king having been castled in the corner and boom! I check mated him. It was a plan worth pursuing the opportunity was there and he was so busy flipping his pawns and moving his queen in and out giving him plenty to think about while my plan was to out flank him in a direction which was not at all seemingly in the picture. Now do you know why I suffer and have torture inflicted upon me day after day year after year? It is so I can have at least one game like I just played! CHECK MATE!

Crashing And Burning Into Flames

I drew a picture of this man. Who is he? What does he want? He isn't smiling either. I wouldn't be smiling either if I knew what I just did. So what did I just mean? The winner must be interviewed I've no business being here. Some times I draw pictures and ask others to identify who these people are. If I can draw pictures of people and have others identify who this particular picture is of then a smile is created upon my face. This man pictured here will be mystery man but there will be more smiles on my subjects I attempt to draw if I can help it after all happiness is when we smile and there are already too many frowns as there is. Without a smile there can be no heaven. There will be another game but don't forget at whatever level chess is played be it mediocre or at an advanced skill level there must always be nerves as a requirement to play the game otherwise it is not a game. If one does not enter a chess game and be prepared to concentrate then one runs a good risk in crashing and burning into flames. Without nerves to play the game a human might as well be a machine without feelings without regard to being alive
feelings are very important. It is the essence of human life.

Crashing And Burning Into Flames

In chess the feeling has been concluded there was not a victory at one point it was awhile ago I wrote these words pretty much when despair and tragedy tortured me and I was going into a nose dive ready to explode and erupt into a burning twisted maze of a wreck it felt as though I was in a plane going down with the heat of a bomb gone off turning the sky yellow from the flames the plane turned red hot from the fire. Now tell me chess players don't play act when they play chess taking it far too serious and exaggerate beyond comprehension.

But my father's brother Ed saved his entire crew in a World War 11 military plane when a bomb became stuck and needed to be dislodged while flying over Nazi Germany and my uncle succeeded in freeing the bomb had it gone off inside the plane the end result might have been as pictured here.
If I were a writer of fiction I'd write about fighting the Germans like my uncle Ed did or the way my platoon stormed Normandy and invaded a hostile nation. In fact I have written some fiction and it was fun although I was never in the second world war except in my fictional stories. I can only imagine what the feeling was like. My Uncle Ed however is not a story of fiction his war experiences really happen he had save his crew from going down into flames. Meanwhile I've more chess games coming my way and players to oppose.

When I Snooze I Lose & Love to Love This Chess Set Make Mine Solid Gold of Pure Gold

Yes the famous saying or rather the infamous saying. I'm afraid to say when I'm tired I just doze. One player the other day won his first game but the second he was making obvious mistakes confessing he was so tired. The skill level goes way down the skill isn't there. I'm so sorry. Anyone have any comments as to what is necessary to be more energized never to snooze again during a game? I shall ask the energy search the secret of never having to snooze again during a chess game. The answer should be Do Not Snooze! What a revolutionary ideal! Come on everybody give to me a page review with a number that will go through the roof and don't you just love this fancy pants chess set?

Well a butterfly like this is always a welcomed sight especially after a tough game of chess and a bitter lost at least I have risen from the depths of defeat to smell the roses and see some peace and tranquility yes indeed a picture is worth a thousand words it can cure the wounds of depression.

Learning To Draw Requires Calculations

From chess without a doubt there are calculations. And when I would draw a subject of which I were not skilled or practiced I'd have to take the rudimentary approach and calculate the basic high school kind of thing they tried to teach me but too often I'd would dose off. I wasn't the perfect student to be sure. Even tracing from a picture requires some thought and concentration although a game of chess requires a tremendous attention at concentration. I paid special attention to her dark eyes the very attractive women are make up artists when they apply the make up and what not. I gave this subject what the photograph demanded and that is the dark eyes aided by eye shadow. You would be so surprised the things a chap like myself has to learn while drawing pictures of women and make up it isn't as easy as it is all cracked up to be. By the way my wife knows this woman celebrity but it doesn't look like her although the picture I drew from did very much what counts is that both the photograph and the drawing in my opinion look good. Give up? I'll tell you and my wife who this woman is in a moment. I must tell you and you are dying to know....right?

Brutality

It isn't my nature to be brutal not even in my blogs do I advocate brutality. In Hitler's journal he did my sorrow for all the wars I more so admire Picasso for his most famous painting which describes his views on war and peace. In my last rated game I felt not good it was as though I had a pit bull like this one here illustrated on a lease and my dog came upon a cat....a pussy cat of which I am a cat lover of these types. To see a pit bull rip apart a loving cat is barbaric. I could not play this opponent of mine a second game I did not know I would play in that way and rip into him like a mad dog I am not that way. Much in the same way I see China as a country bent on maintaining a civilization for the benefit of all countries not just for itself China does not need to prove itself or rectify itself for the past injustices it has so suffered by other countries and yes China was humiliated in its past history. In the journal of Jesus Christ or his journal he speaks of his being crucified but he asks for those to forgive us our trespasses as we would forgive those who trespass against us. China can and will learn from the Christians it can be a good nation. In my chess games I've been crucified often enough more than I care to remember. It is torture and my opponents come right out and say what they are going to do to me. This is the nature of the game of chess I am sorry to say but I do not have to be this way.

Cry For Victory

The beast in me reminds me of King Kong the gorilla who would beat his chest knowing he had knocked down attacking airplanes bent on taking him out. I should just show a photo rather than a drawing of a gorilla beating his chest and showing his teeth in victory over his conquest. I did most of my written explanation for the reasons why I play this online game of chess by e-mail but I figured I could let this audience know rather than reading so many endless stories of my whining you would think that I never could win a game in chess. Well I was in the zone where I could do no wrong I had dueled with an eight and 0(no losses) player whose only lost was to one player and that was me just this afternoon.

An Expensive Picture

After looking at a chess board and losing two straight games this picture looks better than a chess board. The original painting of this picture goes for in excess of 106 million dollars topping Picasso's Dora Maar Au Chat by some six million dollars. Give me some time and I will recoup fast from my loses. I never did think I was going into the games with any confidence but one can never really know when he is prepared for the zone to come about I can for one not figure it out.

Under Fire

I told you it never takes a Genius in my other blog and I'm doing precisely that by falling way below the ranks of what a genius ought to be. At this point my life story isn't going well. But my loses whether it be an exaggerated one thousand games doesn't even have a comparison to what is going on in the news in Japan the earthquake the Tsunami the death and destruction clearly a tragedy a disaster where the pain exceeds the human ability to coup bad things do happen but I don't think this current event has ever come to my life like this one. Send away the comics bring in the holy men for their services appear to deem as more proper one well known comic failed you would think a person in time of this crisis in Japan could use some relief in the horrible stress and grief one is suffering a good laugh perhaps but no it doesn't come it cannot come for this is the nature of the beast when calamity strikes such as this one. I always rebound to gain back my form in chess not to brag that I'm anything close to a respectable chess ratings but I do have an ideal as to where my playing skills lie today isn't one one of those days. I do have hope as I always do that I can come back from playing below par in the old chess games but this living hell in Japan? How does an older person come back from behind after their home is totaled and their family.....and it goes on and on the news is nothing about good news but mainly about the bad bad news sells commercials people like to tune in to the news and then say oh golly that is horrible it is a good thing that I wasn't there at the time of the carnage. With me I have many more shots at coming back to reclaim where I had been before

The High Wire Act

I will call this picture The High Wire Act and it speaks for itself. This is a self made portrait. As you can see my face is clearly the center figure of this picture and I'm not sitting around getting fat like some other very important and famous people are doing. What am I afraid to name names and get sued for libel? She's too big to sue me I'm not afraid. Okay her name is Mona Lisa. Now that I feel my words have accurately and appropriately described this picture I'd like to go on. I drew my face from photo I took of myself and blended it with an Internet photo of someone who appears to be a trapeze artist or an apprentice to the sport. A circle of friends/acquaintances were sharing an Internet video of a very professional and impressive show staring high wire acts or trapeze artist which in the beginning I was in no mood to watch anything I'm a very busy man but I stopped to watch it and immediately I became impressed. I wanted to draw from that. The young lady I was viewing was a highly skilled trapeze artist fame in China and now worldwide celebrities just aching to make their skills and worldwide act of fame and it did catch me lying down sleeping to a fully waken spectator in total awe. I drew from this act and now you have it and no I never really swung from any rope or I never walked among those who participate in the high wire acts. I never did only in my portrayal of such an act in this picture. I draw pictures remember?

Concentration

No one ethnicity has the ownership when it comes to brains and genius. I think Bill Wattenburg the brains, physics professor formally of UC Berkeley said it. Anyhow it was mentioned that the Chinese may be the growing nation to dominate in chess in the future. I have no ideal. If it does more power to them if they never do then so be it. To my Russian audience I say they have been the dominant nation in chess despite Bobby Fischer and I figured if they could play chess they could turn back the advancing German army into the heartland of Russia stall them from further victory all in the name of their leader who was stalling. Joseph Stalin....well how do you suppose he got his name from Russian it? No he didn't rush it he stalled the Germans! Wait a minute wait a minute I'm just teasing you a little joke mind you don't go out and say I intended to belittle the Russians I'm only making a little joke and if you are offended then I say a thousand apologies. I have defeated a higher rate chess player by stealing his queen he resigned and I ran with the victory I had no ideal about claiming a cinch before we began. Let me have a little time to savor my win I don't do it all the time to be sure.

Painting A Sunset

When I draw I don't get the extreme highs and lows of a chess game the emotional roller coaster is more on an even level field if you get my drift. A few days ago I was proud in writing about scoring an upset but yes it puts me in a position where other guns come to cut my lead down to size unless a miraculous improvement makes it's way but even then how long I can sustain and upward surge is often all too few and far between. Isn't it said about a fine line between genius and madness? I've enough on my mind without having to contend with that. The master mind mine behind this blog I think tells me to back off from this blog on chess it is not very pleasant to be certain I suppose this read can become as depressing as Hitler's Third Reich it didn't last very long and he wasn't so successful as being the prominent Nazi that they prided themselves as being. In my mind the Nazi movement failed didn't it? This entry isn't roses and pure happiness the emotional roller coaster has dipped. I'm afraid my dog will have to be put down and Eva my newly wedded......oh sorry I got carried away just a little joke. Don't confuse me with that movie star who has been said to have lost it. Charlie Sheen yes that's his name now all over the news. As rich and famous as he is he does have his problems. Meet me at the next surge in my recovery to an ascent once again as I always do when I'm on a roll or winning streak. It always comes. Meanwhile my son is playing his favorite game a video came called Call of Duty or Call To Duty some name like that a popular video game he tells me. He's shooting Nazi zombies I guess it is okay to do that we Americans take great pride in our kill ratio of German Nazi soldiers we put down just before I was born. Playing chess is the same sort of game except that it requires much more concentration and emotion. Nerves of steel would be preferred.

When I Score An Upset

I have done it too but it seems like it's usually the other way around. Picking up 25 point from 212 to 247 beats losing 25 points the point is that I made an upset against an opponent rated in the 1400's and I will take it I might have caught him half asleep although my going into the game with a feel for a win wasn't overwhelming in fact I've been stalling for days waiting for the right feel to play with enough zest rather than merely going through the motions. True it takes practice but like I said earlier in this blog I like Magnus Carlsen's approach to chess and that is play chess when you are in the mood and not with some sort of discipline and ordered life whether you want to play chess or not. You should want to play chess rather than forcing yourself to do so. A power nap might suit me well at this time.

When Chess Is Addictive

The game is addictive when one becomes married to the game and there's no getting away from it the game no matter how much you try. Try to walk away from the game only to discover that you can't. The thrill to get that next hit is a memory that won't let you walk away. Just walk. Well you can't. And when you lose game after game you keep saying that you can get back on track except it doesn't happen. Depression wears into you and there's no end in sight. Is there a game addiction therapy self help? I never heard of it. If there is I don't think anyone would take it serious. To tell you the truth I just made this whole thing up. Go ahead get addicted to the game it can never kill you you can just get a life and play on line chess and never mind the traffic rush just stay home and play! Now that I discovered it this on line game there is no such thing as being house bound anymore. Just play at home you will never be alone.

Pit Bulls Don't Play Chess

Now may you ask what is this fierce looking pit bull doing in my blog? What does a pit bull have to do with chess? If such an animal could play chess he would have said okay so my opponent is bigger and as fierce and terrible as can be but I'm going at it I don't care win or lose I'm going full bore a fight is what I want and a bite is what is always in my sight all comers all opponents coming my way is fair game. I'm just imagining what a pit bull is thinking when he goes on the attack and is not afraid of his opponent subdue your opponent before he or she can prepare his like lightning speed etc. you get the picture. Of all the tons of overlay and negativity like I said a player waits for the moment the reason for the addiction to whatever endeavor, sport, game or subject... when the zone comes around and no one knows just when it will come around high heaven, nirvana or the reasons for staying with the game is known. The zone arrives. All the wrongs in any activity chosen have turned to rights. Yes it happened this early morning I upset three higher rated players in chess boosting a tiny bit my ratings. This is the reason for why to keep playing sometimes when all looks lost. This blog might be better called hate to lose love to win. That's a good title. I've never heard of one like that until I just made it up.

Dragon Lady

My opponents come at me like dragons they are all out to get me. By they way I drew and designed this dragon. Does my memory elude me? Are us older people accountable for memory lost all I ask is that this design of what I insist is mine be mine. Yes I drew it and designed it.

Anyway my last opponent said something in the chat box provided during my game as he resigned but I said it could be trash talking a ploy to distract and I was playing under duress as it was my leg at a discomfort and the stress of the game was causing my eyes and tears to well up. After my win I cut and ran my recovery from my wounds will be restored. It's raining outside a perfect way to spend my time indoors once I can recover from my discomforts. I'm reminded of the war stories from the returning Vietnam Veterans who were there at the war in Vietnam. The mind games in both chess and Vietnam must have had something similar. I'm going to recoup. And by the way watch out for the dragon it comes to kill you. You must kill it first.

What About The Game?

In my blog I cover the game of recreational chess. You might even say I enjoy the benefit of the delusions of grandeur and no I didn't say suffer. Seriously speaking I do play for the win and yes I do suffer not from my beliefs of being a great player but I suffer from each and every lost. Did I tell you I am a body builder? Now what does this have to do with chess? Nothing. It has nothing to do with chess. Oh sure a good chess player just doesn't play chess and nothing else in between. Anyhow I am very tired lost a series of chess games but my drawing of myself as a body builder takes away the pain of losing.

Still Playing The Game Needs Better Account

The caffeine effect is another story don't know if I'm working out in my games with this legal drug but physically I am doing the road work with my bicycle can't say I'm concentrating on the game but make no doubt I do need to get back into physical shape even if it means it is making me too weary to concentrate on chess. Ten minutes ago I took two caffeine pills. Will this help me play a better game of chess? Watch me. It doesn't always perform miracle results. But let us see what it does this time. I'm waiting for that buzz before I begin a rated game. I shall return with the results.

I ought to conclude this post. A moment or two before my concentration can kick in if at all. As of this moment it hasn't. But I will report my results shortly. Until we meet again.

Art Can Cure A Chess Lost

Earlier in the week I lost two games in a row to the same person. Now you know why I get so nervous because when I did lose I felt so God awful like the painting illustrated in Picasso's Dora Maar Au Chat who looks all distorted yet the picture is worth in or around close to one hundred million dollars. Now this picture of mine I drew to an artistic approach makes me feel better I like this portrait of this picture I have named myself Asian Girl With Golden Hair seen in my other blog It Never Takes A Genius. It has no monetary value and no I don't compare it with the Mona Lisa which also cannot be bought. You mean this picture I drew has something in common with The Mona Lisa? Gee I'm only a beginner when it comes to drawing and by the way this time I used oil not only marker pens. The skin tone by use of oil makes this picture look more natural. So there you have it this is what to do when suffering a terrible chess lost. Just look at art work of a beautiful woman (Asian is good to go) and don't buy that picture of Picasso's ugly girlfriend it cost way too much and can make you more depressed it is so ugly in my opinion at least.

When The Game Of Chess Isn't Fun Anymore

When your very last piece of chess is moved and your gear to play chess is packed and ready for its demise or final use there's always something else to do that is as much fun and as far as the "incurable addiction to chess" is concerned the problem is solved! May I suggest another activity? One can always skateboard away from chess into the horizon down the roadway to a sunset in fact I already posted a roadway to a sunset picture I drew myself. As you know I've been seeing patterns in chess which helps me see patterns in graphic designs and patterns in art. Don't ask me to explain the logic all I know is that the search engines to this computer accept my input rather than spitting it out and asking for more pertinent information. I believe the patterns I see in chess also helps me develop patterns in design in my drawings or art work if I may and I do like to draw as much as I enjoy playing a good game of chess...gg equals an abbreviation for good game words that make most chess players smile and respect one another as opponents and players of this fascinating game when the games are pronounced as a good game. I always come equipped with a skateboard for those frustrating hair splitting days when you can do no right and everything goes wrong into the slumps and into the dumps the time can come to climb aboard my skateboard and just glide away into the sunset. Yes I guess my critics were correct about me I must be just plain nuts. I am however prepared now to get more serious about the game of chess. I thought I was already?

It Isn't The Agony This Time But The Ectasy

I finally won one I took the chance felt the lance charge ahead with a prance and speared my opponent right through his heart this was not a glance when my words rhyme hush your tongue it was not the lime I drank but the feeling I'm as good as I was when I was in my prime don't you say I've committed a crime I'm just leaping for joy and kicking my heels against any old wheel don't you see I've learn to play chess again the right way and made the seal life taught me again I could begin to feel when I can win the big one it is okay now and then like now to wear a silly grin. Losing the big one is only a way to set you up to win the big one long time no hear from Joel Osteen the minister like a coach to the way of living a life.

There It Goes

The winning streak is over. The losing streak is now. Good God. Yes I hate losing more than I like winning the famous words Joe Montana the famed quarter back told me over the air when I asked him his thoughts on winning and losing well he is the champion far greater a champion than any chess champion I'd say than one in chess. I did fail to mention that I was playing a rated game and so my concentration was focused on the incoming arrival to this house and before you know it my concentration was broken you would never know it but it was before I knew it the game was slipping way from me while I talked about a letter I was sending snail mail and how it may or may not be appropriate for the standards of protocol. Poof! My whole focus was blown thinking of the game of chess as something not to be taken serious was what blew it for me casually talking while my concentration needed to be on the game. Yes I am very upset and it shows time to wind down and manage my anger. Anger management they call it get it in check before it goes out of control and violence en....oh no I'm not going there. It is in check. Tell that to my cat when he bit me for fumbling around while he tried to eat and I was super slow trying to do something with his collar. I'll get over it in a hurry and recoup myself. Like I said earlier I will be back.

Loser?

For being worth as a value for this painting do I feel like what is worth the value of this image valued at one hundred million dollars give or take ten million? Yes my nerves are depleted and so is my energy a power nap is a must. This is how I feel after losing two games straight to the same player never mind the monetary value of the worth of this painting just look at the expression of this poor person a bit rather green in the face and her face all distorted. I look just like this after losing. Players don't like to grant interviews after a lost so this is my rare moment that I've offered to do so. I must admit this player was a solid player I met my match I lost it it went some where down the hatch okay sorry no rap here it only goes to show that rap and chess don't go together when it comes to championship level of chess count me out I'm not there will never be there. But my foot was at a discomfort not a good indication of being able to concentrate so excuses excuses I've nothing more to say but I will be back. I will be back. Someone please tell Dora Maar Au Chat she needs make up or something to fix her face she looks terrible.

Too Shaken For A Second Game

I knew my opponent not except he wanted to play chess with his rating at a 1231 and this was for a rated game. He was playing below par I think for a 1231 player I could be wrong how does one measure at what skill level we are playing at? I took the win nevertheless and ran with the win for I need to calm my nerves and get a hold of myself. The caffeine has compelled me into this third or fourth hour I don't know for sure which hour it is since I had two caffeine pills. Caffeine doesn't always work mind you it isn't the cure all drug to solve all problems there are other factors to juggle. The patterns in my last chess game among others looked as though they were taking the proper place but beware of false contentment. I sense my opponent moving along ever so slowly but yet with deliberation. My mind started for a minute give or take some but I knew my opponent was looking for what looked like a certain checkmate. My mind is just too fuzzy to keep on going at this blog I do need a pit stop. I cannot respond to any stimuli my energies have gone K put.

The Power Is In The Flower

If it rhymes then I am good to go. Digital cameras were distant objects to me at one time but now I'm hooked on picture taking in digital format. Pictures are a good diversion for the stress and yes the grind and depressions associated with the pitfalls of non performance in the game. Drawing pictures even though tracing is my way of learning how to draw gives me reason to continue playing online chess with the belief that the patterns seen in chess leads to the patterns seen in drawing pictures yes it isn't that complicated the engine searches respond each and every time I enter information in regards to this viewing and drawing by seeing patterns.

Chess And Harleys Are The Macho Things

This is a good shot of a Harley time to get my mind off the nerve shattering chess game I just had I lost a series of games but not a slump but not far from one the smart mouths when they get ahead want to become ringmasters of all the chess playing animals but I showed them those low down no life good for nothing low life idiots when I disabled the chat to silence them that gets them every time. Wow I just said a mouthful. But I am cranked up on caffeine and pumped up to function with prescription medicine to allow myself to move like a normal person. This Harley is a dandy however. I know how to ride one and have before but no I don't think I have a desire to mess with these machines anymore I consider myself a very lucky man still being alive not marked or injured by these roaring machines of thunder! The last game of chess my opponent must have gotten punch drunk like I was having handed over my bishop for free but then he did the worst move than that where he moved his queen into the line of fire by one of my pawns there went the game! I've yet to draw a picture of one of these marvelous dream machines. Chances are I will. Look for one coming up.

Drawing A Good Fire

Corvettes don't do this they don't have exhaust systems that burn this way this is an imaginary conception when any check engine light is on an engine may not be running correctly yes my nerves would run much higher in emotion had this scene really happen in a real car scene God forbid I don't need this kind of scene and who said this car is a Corvette it is just a hand drawn picture it could be an image of anything I would love to own a Corvette if I were a man of means in fact this car is dramatized when stories of the super cars are the economy cars NOT. They the super cars are dramatized when they burn fuel at an alarming rate not a fuel efficient car for the average motorist. My point is that the patterns of chess is like a picture intelligence in chess is marked by the best move against an opponent for me an act of drawing flames highly combustible for the first time is and was fun. What do you think dear reader does this look like fire? Mind you yes this blog is about mostly chess but this break from the high intense drama of chess is doing me a world of good. And oh boy was I nervous when my car roared down the road and a motorist gone postal trained his ....no I don't think I'm going there I'll leave the war stories to Norman Mailer in his epic book The Naked And The Dead.

It Is The Exhibition Game Today

Moving into a higher rated status puts me with the higher rated players who play it harder for me and thus I'm having a harder time with winning more than I lose. Another indication that my coordination or alertness if off is when I am making more typing errors or just plain struggling with the keyboard. The transference to the chess game therefore shows. This would be a good indicator not to play rated games any more than I should get behind the wheel of a car when drinking alcohol I do know better and that for me isn't even an issue as I know more than better. I'm in need of a power nap most certainly. I've been away the past week or so(notice how other similar blogs have the same approach as this one when it comes to presiding over a blog and the attention it pays to the audience?) You can read me at It Never Takes A Genius another blog on drawing and tracing pictures to designing pictures as well as my mention to the famed artist Pablo Picasso one of the great artist I've become more familiar with than say....others. Not only do I need a power nap badly but I am ready for some eggs. Look no pictures today my how dull Jack has no pictures . If I were to show a picture of David Copperfield the magician whose name I use when I abandoned a chess game when there is no hope to win
