NASCAR Predictions and ‘Scopes for California Speedway
Whew!! This is going to be some race!! I have never in all my years of looking at aspects seen aspects like this, all together in one place for one sporting event. Like I have said all along….the entire theme Astrologically in 2006 for NASCAR is controversy.
This prediction will put to rest any possible idea’s out there that I am not fair. I swear on a stack of HOLY Books, that I did not make this up.
As above, so below…I will start with a little syncronicity:
The Gospel according to Clance’: Jeff Green – California Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Dale Jarrett – California Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Elliot Sadler – California Speedway
$%$#**^$ … Leave Elliot out of it….and Gordon and Jr.
That’s all I have to say about that.
The Gospel according to Clance’: Ryan Newman – Caliifornia Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Jimmy Johnson – California Speedway
Hmmmm….
The Gospel according to Clance’: Tony Stewart – California Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Matt Kenseth – California Speedway
Getting the picture yet? See a pattern here? I said please. Will you guys…leave Elliot out of it….and Jeff Gordon and Jr? Please.
The Gospel according to Clance’: Dale Earnhardt Jr. – California Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Jeff Gordon – California Speedway
I threw these in just for something a little more on the Lighter side.
The Gospel according to Clance’: Joe Nemechek – California Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Martin Truex Jr. – California Speedway
The Gospel according to Clance’: Mark Martin – California Speedway ** I expect Mark To be the Truck champ this year **
Who do I expect to win?
Don’t ever say I predict with discrimnation and favortism…EVER.
Yup…if you have read my blog for awhile then…Well…I think you know what’s coming… here.
Now go here for a post race prediction.
You can read all the Driver’s full scopes for today here.
Remember, you saw it here first.

6 September 1962
Theme: Sore points
During this time a particular sore point of yours is disturbed, a sensitivity or vulnerability that you may not be aware of. So it may well be that you react as you have perhaps always reacted to such situations: You are distressed, hurt, you distance yourself and forget the incident as quickly as possible. If you do not react by withdrawing as you usually do, but instead show that you have been hurt, you will earn the freedom to behave differently in this, for you, typical situation. That is, of course, easier said than done, but this influence offers you an outstanding opportunity to stand far enough outside yourself to show your own injuries. If you recognize the situation in question and react to it, you will win new strength and confidence.

Theme: A fresh breeze ***
Valid during many months:
This influence stimulates your emotional life. You will experience your own feelings and allow yourself to look at the world subjectively. Your own inner feelings and your attitudes toward the world will seem as important as whatever you consider to be true or real in the external world. At this time you feel what you want to feel. This effect manifests itself in a variety of ways. First of all, you will demand more emotional satisfaction in your relationships. It will not be enough for a relationship simply to go on as it has. If your existing friendships and love relationships do not meet your needs, you will find new ones that do. Your goal is freedom of emotional self-expression and experience.
Another manifestation of this influence is that you are likely to make changes in your home environment, demanding that it too be more emotionally satisfying. At this time it is not enough that your house is adequate to keep out the rain. You want it to be as interesting and stimulating as any other aspect of your life.
As your ability to experience your inner life is stimulated, your imagination will also be stimulated. You will see how you can make your life more interesting in areas that you had never considered before. Also the intellectual and emotional functions of your mind are more unified now. This is an extremely good time for creative work, not because it directly stimulates creativity, but because it makes you see and feel from new perspectives, which gives your creative work a new freshness and innovative quality.

29 June 1980
Theme: Just having fun
Valid during several months: This is an excellent influence for good times, entertaining and just having fun. Before you plan any hard work for this period, keep in mind that you are likely to put self- gratification and pleasure before work. You may find it difficult to put off something that you want to do in order to fulfill some duty. But this in not selfishness on your part, for you are quite capable of being generous and giving to others. You are more openly affectionate than usual and feel real love for the people around you. It is just that this aspect of your life – love, affection and pleasure – is more important to you now than work. This is a good time to party. You will derive much pleasure now.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. – California Speedway

10 October 1974
Theme: The world as it is
Today feelings of inadequacy or futility may tempt you to avoid direct confrontations with people and even to take more devious courses of action than usual. The responsibility for such tactics lies directly on your head, so don’t be surprised if they work against your best interests. It is possible that this influence will stimulate your innate idealism, which is by no means bad and could produce a beautiful moment in your life today. But it could also make you want to reach for unrealizable goals, which is particularly discouraging in view of the low energies you probably feel. Use your common sense even about ideals, and above all, deal with the real world as it is, not as you would like it to be. You can work to make it what you want, but don’t assume that it already is.

Theme: Obstacles ***
This may be a somewhat difficult day, full of frustration and irritating occurrences. Do not plan to launch any daring or risky activity, because the chances are that you will not succeed. Your energies do not have the necessary vigor or power. It is better to concentrate upon routine activities that require you to follow a well-established pattern. Other people may seem unusually irritating to you today. They may seem to be trying to “get your goat,” or worse, to be taking actions that are quite destructive to you and your interests. You feel angry, but this influence does not often give you the opportunity to express your anger. You may be forced to seethe in silence, although it is not a good idea to let the energy just sit inside you. It can become physically destructive.

Theme: Loaded with energy ***
Ego energies and physical energies run very high during this time. You will feel positively loaded with energy, for which you must find an adequate outlet, or you will have problems. The best way to handle this influence is to do some necessary heavy physical work. But that will work out only if you derive satisfaction from doing it. Sports, if you are at all athletic, is an excellent outlet. If you just sit around, you will begin to feel itchy and restless for no apparent reason and then become quite irritable. In this mood you will snap at anyone who comes along for no reason at all. This time is quite good for initiating any new project on your own. It is a time of beginnings, and you should use it for that purpose, particularly for projects that you will be identified with and be given credit for.

Theme: Intense feelings **
Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. Today during the day you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.

Theme: General disagreement **
On the negative side, this can be a time of furious conflict with others. Recent actions by you or by other people may have created energies that lead to anger, rage and general disagreement between you and others. If you have not been careful to enlist people to your side in any work that required your individual initiative and if you have alienated them thereby, you may find now that the forces of opposition have become too great to control. Thus this influence can represent your defeat in some matter. If you yourself have not taken the initiative and have remained largely inactive, this influence will stir up all manner of subconscious energies that will make you irritable and difficult to get along with. You will feel this most strongly in all intimate one-to-one relationships.

Theme: Usually highly beneficial
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day your moods are quite deep and your emotions powerful. If you are aware, all your contacts at this time will show you how your emotional state affects other people. This can be either good or bad, but the growth in consciousness is usually very beneficial. One problem with this influence, however, is that you find it difficult to see any point of view but your own. Also, in dealings with a group there is a danger that you will feel that your own interests and desires are opposed to theirs, thus creating more potential for disagreement. You must learn to detach yourself somewhat in order to observe your feelings in action. Otherwise you will not be able afterwards to evaluate what you saw.

Theme: Letting off steam
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later. You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself.

Theme: Positive thinking
Valid during several weeks: This is an excellent time for making plans for the future and creating organizational systems, as well as for all other intellectual and mental efforts. However, there is a tendency to avoid really difficult mental or intellectual problems, taking the easy way out instead. But if you can create the proper sense of discipline, you should be able to overcome these negative effects and make this a day of very creative mental activity. This influence opens up and sharpens your mind so that you see, even if subliminally, all the possibilities inherent in a situation. This enables you to turn it to your best advantage. Also this influence gives you a well-founded feeling of optimism, which in turn creates the well-known “power of positive thinking.”

Theme: Mental work
This is an excellent time for all kinds of mental work, especially if you have to plan a future course of action with decisiveness and firmness. You will be in a positive mood and have great confidence in your position, which will enable you to make a positive impression and probably convince people of your point of view. This influence also favors working with others in a cooperative planning venture. You can make plans together or hash out differences of opinion in such a way that you make your point without anyone else feeling threatened. This is a good time for traveling in connection with your work. Because your energy level is high, you are restless to get things done. During this couple of days you will feel confident of yourself, your ideas and the effect you make when talking with people.

23 December 1969
Theme: The loftier side
Weak, transient effect: This is usually a very positive influence, making you feel very benevolent and generous toward those around you. This morning your spirit is inclined toward contemplation of the loftier aspects of life. You are not concerned with the nasty little details that make life less than it should be, although you are aware of them. But you simply cannot see any point in paying any attention to them. Emotionally you feel quite good, for this influence promotes optimism and positive thinking. At times this influence indicates self- righteousness and smug arrogance, as if you considered yourself as the embodiment of social truth and wisdom. This attitude may not be entirely conscious on your part, but it may be subtly evident in your phrasing or in an unspoken attitude toward others.
The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:Moon Square Jupiter exact at 04:06 active only on 25 February 2006.
Feb 26, 2006
A reasonably pleasant time Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you want to be with your friends and the people you love. This influence helps to ensure that you will have a reasonably pleasant time with them. Feelings of love and friendship may build in all areas of your life now, and you feel that life is richer and a little more rewarding. It is a good time to have friends to your home for entertainment. You are able to make them feel good, and they will appreciate it, for you make it clear that you care about them. In general, your home situation and immediate environment will be the sources of your greatest satisfaction during this period. Your light and cheerful mood will be picked up by everyone around you, too. However, you should be careful not to become passive.
Tony Stewart – California Speedway

Theme: Subjectivity
Weak, transient effect: Tonight your closest contacts will take on a more emotional tone. You will be able to communicate your feelings more easily to your partner , a close working colleague or anyone else whom you encounter on an intimate level. Although the effects of this influence are not very difficult to deal with, you should be aware that you are likely to be so emotional and subjective in your relations with others that you may have difficulty seeing someone else’s point of view. However, this influence favors situations in which you have to be sensitive to another’s feelings or in which someone else has to be sensitive to yours. In your contacts with others you will seek warmth, support and nurture, and you will be equally capable of giving these to others when necessary.

Theme: Enlightened self-interest
This influence usually signifies a day of great activity in several areas of your life. You feel a great need to exercise your will and to determine where you are going and what you are doing. Often this is a day of hard work in your profession. But you will be motivated by tasks that relate to your own personal objectives. Therefore this can also be a day of conflict with others, arising from what they consider your selfishness and excessive self- involvement. Or as you pursue your own goals you may come into conflict with another whose goals are not in harmony with yours. No matter which of these alternatives you encounter, this is a time for enlightened self- interest. But you must continually remember the people around you and be very careful not to alienate them any more than necessary.

Theme:Clearing the Air (**no …I did not make this up**)
Valid during several weeks:
During this time there is tension in your life, but it can be used creatively if you are conscious of what you are doing. If you are not, this influence can signify a time of conflicts, especially with those closest to you, such as your partner and others whom you must cooperate with. Even your intimate, positive relationships may suffer at this time. The problem is that you will find it difficult to give in and compromise as necessary to proper cooperation. In any close relationship, there is often too much compromise, so that the real complaints and grievances are not aired, which in the long run tends to weaken even a fine relationship. Now is the time when these repressed grievances can be brought out into the open, which should result in a real clearing of the air between you.

NASCAR, California Speedway Predictions, and ME..
Tony Stewart speaks to the media:
“What you guys have to remember is you guys don’t need to be in every part of our lives,” said Stewart, trying to stay in his happy place. “Let us deal with ourselves. You guys don’t need to be a part of everything that goes on this garage area.”The stuff that happened last week is left over last week. I talked about it. Guys go on to the next week.”
**the crowd boos**
Clance’ sticks up for him:
“YEAH!! Real Men go on to the next week!!
Westward Ho!! Right on!!
WHOOH!! WHOOH!! WHOOH!” Tony Stewart is the man!!
**She jumps and shakes her fist high in the air as she yells! She has also been showing her loyalty to Sterling Marlin’s old sponsor by induging in one or two… more sponsor products than she should of considering she is standing on a fixed object high in the air with no guard rails. Clance’ falls off the top of the RV she is standing on, which is parked in the infield at California Speedway.
Clance’ will be posting ‘scopes on her laptop, full of narcotic pain killers, from high atop a bed in some hotel room after her release from the ER. She is expected to be released from the hotel room and allowed back in the infield with the rest of her crew, long before the race tomorrow.
Teehee… Westward Ho alright.
Is NBC Running on Half Truths about the Daytona 500?
Racing Junky‘s Tiffany Myers has posted a very interesting and intelligently written review and commentary of what she saw at the Daytona 500.
My Sister in-law was at the race and said the same thing. Matt Kenseth is her Driver and she freaking HATES Tony. She says one of her great goals in life is to have a Tony bashing website. After she got home and watched the race broadcast she had Tivo’d, she felt it was incredibly biased. She said couldn’t believe it. She said it made her so mad she wrote to them and she never does things like that. She said she will doubt every scene and comment regarding NASCAR ever broadcast by NBC again. Pretty strong words from someone who doesn’t get riled up about much of anything except Tony Stewart and people who are mean to animals and children.
I am anxious to hear fro
m Antonette @ Unrestricted: My NASCAR Rants and Raves and Earnhardt Fan Always 3 when she gets back.
I am sure she will be posting her take on this. She always calls it like she sees it.
I don’t usually jump on something like this but…I have to wonder.
The Official Chad Knaus Probation Watch
I am officially in preparation for the Holy Pilgramage of the Church of the Great Oval to Fontana and Vegas.
While I was making sure I had a lot of pressure on myself by putting everything I need to do off until the last minute…I caught up on reading some of my favorite NASCAR blogs. I was reading Marc’s post about whining at Full Throttle. Marc always has lots of brilliant commentary to say on all aspects of the racing world. He pointed me to an newer blog out there called Pit Road Post.
I have some competition in my little NASCAR Goofreakingball World. I laughed my guts out. These two are freaking FUNNY. Creative. Great Posts. I am in Goof-ball Love. Make sure you have some time or make some time to go through their posts. There are several of note that you can check out real quick if you don’t have the time this second to sit and read. There is a post about a Jeff Gordon issue, a NASCAR workout, and they are the place to keep track of the Official Chad Knaus Probation Watch. These two are my kind of guys. I wonder what they think of Aliens…the next chapter in the Saga is about to unfold.
The other blog I want to point out is Rev Jim’s Rants and Raves. His insight on the Return of the Bad Boy is fair and thoughtful. He has plenty to say on a lot of other subjects too. A dedicated Member of the Church.
I adding links to these blogs in my daily stops. They are worthy of some good shout outs.
Chad Knaus
?? I am confused…
I thought “Hanging Chad”(s) had something to do with how the leader of the Free World got where he is…
Leadership Principles
“Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.”
~ Vince Lombardi
The power to lead drives the capacity to succeed. No question, leadership skills are all important, as they are a key differentiator in organizations of every nature. Leaders are not “born”, but are made just like transforming a lump of coal into a diamond, under tremendous heat, pressure and time.
Chad Knaus has been suspended for three more races. Fontana, Las Vegas and Atlanta, fined $25,000 and placed on probation for the rest of the 2006 season. It is the most severe penalty in NASCAR history.
Terry Labonte, driving for Hall of Fame Racing was docked 25 points and team owner William Saunders was penalized 25 owner points. Crew chief Philippe Lopez was fined $25,000.
Hall of Fame Racing has it’s engines lease program from Joe Gibbs Racing. JD Gibbs took full responsibility in the statement he released regarding the illegal carberator:
“Joe Gibbs Racing provides all of the engines and carburetors for Hall of Fame Racing,” said Gibbs. “We are responsible for any issues having arisen from the unapproved carburetor that was taken by NASCAR in Daytona. It is never our intention to put any unapproved parts on any of our race cars or those of our partners. We will join Hall of Fame Racing in appealing the severity of the penalty.”
Jimmy Johnson, in his interview with ESPN’s Jim Rome, said : “We made a mistake. We were called on it. We’re living up to it. We have to make the most of it til he (Knaus) comes back.”
Statements all made in the light of true leadership. Accountability. Action. Change. Vision.
When someone has a string of failures, it usually means they are taking action. When they recognize mistakes they are well on the way to producing better results. Tony Stewart, in his comments regarding restrictor plate racing, bump drafting and the possibilities of impending doom, was thrown into the unofficial role of NASCAR Leadership. When you are a leader you are held to a higher standard than when you are not.
I want to focus on the last 12 months and the accomplishments of not only Tony Stewart and the entire #20 team, but every Driver and race team in NASCAR. Race teams are achieving better results with, and through others… creating incredible force-multipliers in NASCAR itself. They are all creating greater leverage through powerful interpersonal synergy.
The road to success is paved with clear expectations and brilliant execution. To be an inspirational leader, you must first be inspired by and absolutely committed to an ideal dream. Tony Stewart, Greg Zippadelli and the entire #20 team are. Jimmy Johnson, Chad Knaus and the entire #48 team are. Whatever the cause, they will never attract anyone ease’s interest if it doesn’t inspire them first.
Effective leaders, must learn how to share their vision with others in a way that helps them commit whole-heartedly to the same dream. Inspire others and there’s nothing they can’t do. These two teams have inspiring visions and strive toward high ideals. They are capable of achieving huge goals, because they have motivated an army of people to contribute their time and talents, hearts and souls to the same dream.
Tony, Zippi, Jimmy and Chad have created a model of loyalty in their teams. They are happy to do whatever needs to be done, because they are all swept up in the excitement of achieving the same mission.
How can they mess that success up? What have some driver’s and teams done?
Underestimated the impact they have on others.
Believeing individually that they have a personal mission — and that only they can accomplish it.
Some may have mistakenly believed that their personal mission is a solo race — with no benefit to or effect on anyone else. Both of these beliefs limit their potential. Both restrict the unlimited possibilities that would be available if others could be inspired to join in, and benefit from, what they are trying to accomplish.
There are tangible RESULTS… and then there is everything else. When teams known for producing superior results perform with that same vision, they become successful beyond their wildest dreams.
If they don’t , they won’t.
I have a feeling that in heading to California, every team entered in to the race have decided that right now is the perfect time to take a baseline assessment of their expectations and the power to achieve them. Leaders have a crystal-clear vision of the future that directly aligns with their core personal values. The penalties received can lead to the discovery of what could hold them back from the success they all deserve.
They have the ability to communicate vision to others, unleashing the power of shared goals, focused plans and an unwavering commitment to positive action.
A new day, a new race.
As I said at the first of the year, Astrologically, the main theme I see repeatedly for the 2006 year in NASCAR is controversy and growth.
Keep an eye and an ear out on the “stars” …This is going to be a heck of a season.
Smoke Signals…
I have had a good ol’ time running around reading head lines and posts. Listening to late night talk show hosts….ROFLAO almost…as close as I get anyway. Visually? Trust me, it’s pretty close.
I think the Great Scot’ has put it as close as can be described in his Daytona: Final Roundup editorial today at Backstretch Motorsports. “Heee’s baaack!”. Bram also hopes Zippy has stocked up on antacids. I am thinking Xanex…or Adovan. When asked how Tony was doing emotionally yesterday, Zippy was like my Church of the Great Oval guard dog , Scooby:
“HRUH? He’s fine.” Acted like he had no idea what could be concerned about. I might have possibly enjoyed that whole race a little too much. I have been snickering all day.
USA Toda
y quotes the great Smoke-stack with lashing out at Baby Busch:
“”He’s the one guy who’s probably going to hurt somebody out here,” Stewart said. “He’s all over the place out here. He’s what we like to call a bird with no feathers. He just doesn’t know where he’s going.”
I believe I have been pointing that out for awhile.
Alien takeover.
Foiled again.
Ye best be learnin some manner’s boy.
Those ol’ timers may have to teach you a lesson or two.
You are not above being spanked by NASCAR’s new paddle.
Former Champions either.
Get it?
In this couple days of Smoke/Kenseth/48 hater’s/and Driver bashers, there are a few Driver’s that I think have been over looked for outstanding performances. Robby Gordon
Casey Mears
Kirk Shelmerdine
Brian Vickers
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dale Jarrett
and many other’s.
So off to Fontana we go…literally in the next couple of days.
DAYTONA 500!! 2006
Ok…so Tony had a bad day…I think perhaps he was a little grumpy. Probably somewhat tired from the week…
My favorite moments of the race today were Tony showing his feelings in his Tony way. When that in- car camera was getting on his nerves, he looked directly in it’s eye and slapped (**I mean gently moved**) it, a courageous and thoughtful safety measure. He protected the other driver’s by making sure his line of sight wasn’t blocked somehow. How can you have a calm and cool head without clear vision?
Matty was a little miffed at Tony for some reason today…**lol** I could hear Bab’s screaming naughty words all way from Texas, clear up here in Idaho. I am sure it wasn’t my imagination.
Matt thought Tony did it on purpose.
Poor Tony had a bad day and replied with a release this explanation, through the team’s car manufacturer:
“Matt always thinks that. I guess Matt didn’t think anything when he got me sideways over in (Turn) 2 either,” said Stewart. “He should have thought about that first.
“But I got penalized but they didn’t penalize him for getting me sideways. He has no room complain. He started the whole thing, and I finished it.”
“Earlier in the race he was shaking his fist to me,” Kenseth said.
Stewart replied: “He should have been smart enough to know not to be tucking down our doors in the first 20 laps of a 200-lap race at Daytona.”
Dale Jarrett, starting the season quietly in the top 10, must have been telling Jeff Green “Hey! Great race!” as he was walking by someones SUV, and Mr. Green was taking a quiet stroll through the parking lot.
Ryan Newman losing in a non- robot like manner said “This could still be the first opportunity for NASCAR to pull away a victory if the thing is illegal.” “It’s disappointing. I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent, but I’m pretty sure at least three of his last four wins have had conflictions with the cars being illegal.
“You know, it’s not necessarily good for the sport.”
He has evidently decided to trade places with Jeff Gordon in 2006 as The Biggest W
hiner.
Jeff Gordon on the other hand, having reason to whine, didn’t. Yeah…yeah…he was a happy camper having happen to own the winning car that JJ won with. Regardless, he wanted the win bad. He didn’t whine at all or blame the wall incident on Tony. He took it like a man.
Tony on the other hand was having a bad day…”That stupid @#$%came up the middle and ran me into the fence,” Stewart yelled over his car radio.The Church of the Great Oval guard dog Scooby said: “HRUH??”
I think in the whole “cheater” thing is just that Chad Knaus, got caught. He got couched… He was penalized. Jimmy Johnson still won because Jimmy Johnson is one heck of a driver. He didn’t make the mistakes he has in the past. He learned from his past and kept his head. He did a great job and has a great win tucked into his belt. He has a right to be proud. He would have crossed that finish line in first place regardless if Biff hadn’t biffed. 
Congratulations to the entire #48 team.
Sometimes the penalties are worth it I guess. Jimmy drives well when he is ‘overcoming adversity”. Think about it.
I don’t believe for one second, that every single one of those cars at some point or another, have never been “creatively tweaked”. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. The goal in this sport is to WIN, not lose…The gains that the sport has had in the technical aspect of WINNING since day one could probably all be called cheating at one point or another.
Big Daddy NASCAR show
ed the kids who was boss today. Got out the paddle and did some spanking. Rules will be rules and the rules will change…and save lives. Thank the Heavens that no one was hurt and there was no big one today.
But was it fun to watch? OH YEAH!! I loved it.
Let the season begin…
Fantasy ending…??
Lap 35:
Would it be something if the race came down to last lap, neck and neck Alien relatives crossing the finish line with so close you can’t call it in finish time and we see:
#2: I won!!
#5 : You did not! I won!!
#2 and #5: $%^^$##(%*^*
They get into a fist fight while waiting for NASCAR to announce the winner.
NASCAR PENALIZES them both for agressive behavior and Mark Martin and JR tie for the win in default!
Ryan Newman
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Theme: Limitations
Today you may become very conscious of the limitations imposed on you by circumstances and other people. Your task today is to not let yourself be overwhelmed by them. One effect of this influence is a sense of loneliness or inability to communicate with others. You feel that here is a gulf between you and others that you can’t possibly cross. What you are experiencing is the real gulf that always exists between people. But there is no need to let that truth drag you down. You may not feel this effect psychologically, as described above. Instead you may find that you are actually unable to communicate with people, or that others constantly get in your way and hold you back. But you have to make compromises. If you are honest in expressing your needs to others, you should be able to work it out.
Jeff Gordon
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Far from difficult
Valid during several months: This influence is far from difficult. In fact, it usually denotes an extremely pleasant time when you reach out to others to give and receive affections. It is usually good for relationships and may indicate the start of significant new ones. One of the few problems that can come with this influence is a reluctance to voice your real complaints for fear of being unpleasant. You will try to smooth over ruffled feelings wherever you go. You will enjoy being with people and going out to have a good time, but this may cause you to avoid work that must be done and to be self-indulgent. Be careful of doing anything to excess and avoid wasting money on items that appeal to your fancy now but do not have any lasting merit or appeal. Self-discipline is not one of the strong points of this influence.
Jr. Daytona scope
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Serious thinking
Valid during several weeks: This is a time for serious thinking and important concerns. You feel you must deal with practical matters and keep your mind at work. You are not inclined to play at games or trivial amusements, not because you are depressed, only serious. Your mind works quite well under this influence, and you will be able to keep at a task until you have solved all its problems. You are also able to concentrate on mental work that requires great attention to detail. Your eye is sharp for the little pieces that make up the whole, and you are as concerned about them as you are about the whole structure. As a result, the work you do today will be done very carefully and thoroughly. This is a good time to organize yourself and your environment, especially if the organization has to be detailed and involved.
Baby Busch
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Kyle Busch, born 2 May 19
Wrapped up
Weak, transient effect: This morning your emotions are strong when dealing with others, which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so wrapped up in your moods that you can’t get out of yourself and relate to anyone else. In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others, because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.
Kurt Busch Daytona 500 scope
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Theme: Seething inside
** During this time it is necessary to proceed slowly and cautiously. The more thoroughly and carefully you perform any task, the more chance there is that it will succeed. Usually this is a very frustrating and irritating time, when all your efforts to assert yourself are blocked, more by a sense of internal inadequacy than by circumstances or other people. However, you are not likely to take negative reinforcement lying down, even if it comes from within yourself. The part of you that is struggling to break free from inhibitions will feel very angry at being held back. Consequently you are likely to be irritable and easily angered, although your inner doubts make you reluctant to show your anger openly. But no matter how you try to cover it up, everyone will be quite aware that you are seething inside.
Tony Stewart’s Scope for Daytona 500
Here it is Lap 133 of the 500 already. I had unexpected company over the weekend. My sis and her hubby came up to by a new Mt. bike, and needless to say you know how things can happen on the anniversery of someone’s death( my Mom’s which happens to coincide with Dale Earnhardt’s). Things got out of hand and all the scope’s didn’t get up. I need to post what Tony’s said before this race ends…
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Theme: Looking inward
Valid during several months: At this time it is good to look inward and reflect upon deep psychological truths within yourself. This influence often signifies conversations and intellectual encounters that have a profound effect upon your mind, causing you to go deep within yourself and make changes in your point of view or ways of thinking. This time is conducive to very deep thinking, sometimes including thoughts about your own and your loved ones’ mortality. Reflecting upon these matters from time to time in moderation can help to keep your life in perspective, but don’t get too carried away by thoughts of death, because this can draw you away from the here and now.
I got Matt’s up last night. I hope that both he and Tony settle down. Tony needs to listen to his own words. He has been worried about someone else getting killed any way so here are my words to him:
DON’T KILL MATT KENSETH!! DON’T KILL YOUR OWN JACKMAN!! That would suck.
I loved the in car cam shot tho of Tony slapping that camera away from his face!! **lol**
It is that passion that I love about Tony Stewart…it is that passion that has gotton him a spank or two so far…
LAP 145 It is all up to JR and Mark Martin to stop the Alien invasion at this very moment….SCARY….
Be back later….
Daytona 500 ‘Scopes
These are a few of the ‘scopes I found very interesting. As if we don’t already live in interesting times. (Isn’t that an old Chinese curse?) Mouser is my newest “seer”…sneaking in my office at night to check out the cam….little does he know he on and I get to see what he does secretly at night…did you see him sitting on the back of Chad’s couch (in the previous post) with his Tony Gear on?
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
General mood: Touchy and irritable
Valid during several weeks: This influence can be quite difficult. You are inclined to feel touchy and irritable and to regard almost any communication from another person as a challenge. And you will make this attitude so clear to people that they may even tread lightly around you for fear of setting you off. Anyone who crosses you will be told off in no uncertain terms. The worst way to handle this influence, but what you are most likely to do, is to identify your own ego with what you believe or think. This will make you act as if your very life were threatened, which of course it is not. If you have to fight for your beliefs, this influence can be a help, but don’t look for a battle or create an issue where none exists. **(this influence began last weekend)***could this have to do with Chad??
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Mark Martin, born 9 January 1959
Theme: Getting things done
This is an excellent time for getting things done. You are in an orderly state of mind and have a strong sense of self-discipline. You carefully consider every move before acting. You make plans at a very concrete level and insist that it be possible to execute them in the practical universe. You are not interested in idealistic speculations or abstract considerations that cannot be applied in daily life. All matters relating to work or your profession are favored by this influence, precisely because of your orderly mental state. Any tasks that you do today will be very carefully done with no loose ends. It is possible that your serious and attentive attitude to your work will attract the attention of your employer or other persons in authority whom you encounter. **Won the Truck race last night! What could happen tomorrow? At least top 10
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Themes-Punctuated with humor**Valid during several months:
Today your thoughts are on light topics, and you find it difficult to take things seriously. Your good mood will affect every encounter today, making conversations agreeable, sociable and friendly, punctuated with humor. You are not likely to have any patience with serious or heavy topics, although you are willing to discuss relationships and matters pertaining to love and affection. You will find it very easy to express love and affection for others today, even if you are usually tongue-tied. If you want to say something to make a favorable impression on someone, you will succeed today. You can win people over by what you say and how you say it. This influence also favors commercial transactions and negotiations, particularly in the entertainment field. **Gaining quite a fan base …this Vancouver boy is going to be in the top all year.
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Obstacles***This may be a somewhat difficult day, full of frustration and irritating occurrences. Do not plan to launch any daring or risky activity, because the chances are that you will not succeed. Your energies do not have the necessary vigor or power. It is better to concentrate upon routine activities that require you to follow a well-established pattern. Other people may seem unusually irritating to you today. They may seem to be trying to “get your goat,” or worse, to be taking actions that are quite destructive to you and your interests. You feel angry, but this influence does not often give you the opportunity to express your anger. You may be forced to seethe in silence, although it is not a good idea to let the energy just sit inside you. It can become physically destructive. ** Be careful Matty-Boy…
Sunday, 19 February 2006 for Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
A foggy day: Valid during several weeks:
Today you may feel inclined to keep a secret or hold back information in order to avoid a confrontation with someone. It is not good to do this, because it will only contribute to the fog of confusion and unclarity that surrounds you during this time. For the same reasons, avoid any form of misrepresentation or distortion of the truth, even if you think it might be politic to mislead someone. In every way you should strive to keep all your communication and thinking clear, lucid, factual and rooted in the real world. If you try to avoid confrontations by acting evasively under this influence, you will run up against even more demoralizing confrontations later. Also be careful in any kind of negotiations or business dealings today, because you could be the victim of misrepresentation, even if you are not the perpetrator.
More to come…
Tony and Jr of course Elliot…Bobby, Robby…the list goes on and on….**lol**
Daytona USA, full of lots of Talent
Our newest actors on the scene:
Someone tried to bribe Jimmy Johnson in Las Vegas, and was hit on by a very lovely lady who had built her own car. Now Carl Edwards moves onto 24 to help save the world. NASCAR’s Edwards moves to acting
Johnson and Edward’s moves are actually incognito for their real life roles in saving the Earth from The Alien Takeover. Johnson has has a small role deflecting attention but is, still, one of NASCAR’s Men of Daring.
Now that that is out of the way, let’s talk about racing.
Robby Gordon is IN!! There was some good racing today. A lot of very fast cars and determined driver’s. I have to say I was really sorry that Kenny Wallace didn’t make it. I just love that guy. He is a member of the Men of Daring too.
So we are now just days away from the 500. The big Bump Draft Debate is on. Tony Stewart is taking a look at his life insurance policies, Dale Earnhardt Jr says that’s why they get paid the big bucks. I like the principle of the zones, but the practicality of enforcing it could be difficult, i.e. “I was out of the zone” I didn’t know he was in the zone” etc. I am for the idea of modification of the frontends of the cars so they just fall apart when bumpin becomes too bummpy. Drafting? Yes, it’s part of the sport. Danger is part of the sport. I am glad NASCAR says it’s going to be enforcing the rules in a consitent and iron handed way, no matter who it is. I didn’t like the call on Carl Edwards in the shootout either. But if the hand is going to fall may it fall consistantly and fairly on all. Live and Learn…and let it be known:
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!! Hear Ye!!
NASCAR RULES the rules of NASCAR.
I have been avidly working on finishing the all the driver’s scopes and organizing them in a way that you can just see who you want. Don’t worry they will all be up for the 500.
I have to make my predictions prior to the race or it doesn’t count now does it? Big Suprises ahead….
What are y
ou doing during the races this weekend? Are you there? Going somewhere to watch the race? Or sitting on the couch in front of your TV just like Chad Knauss? I found him a special couch to watch the race by.

The "Other things" Mystery…
Tee hee hee…I am getting back to my usual sunshinee Self now that the sun actually has been shining for more than a day and NASCAR season is once again upon us. Plus I have to say I am getting a pretty good kick today about the news that VP Cheney Head accidently shot his hunting buddy instead of the quail that should have been flying upwards. But alas, it was a Texas quail on a Republican farm. What can I say. Maybe the sport is different for Heads of State and their monkeys.. I can come up with all sorts of stuff to post on that one. **ROFLAO**…and I am off to do just that. But first, a word from the sponsor:
I have had so many comments and e-mails about my new template and the meanings of the words in the “Other things” in my sidebars.
I answer you all now…
It must remain a mystery for you to research…it may be an ancient magical ritual…or a story from a lost language. The answer is not difficult to find. Let it drive you crazy….burn your brain until you know the answer. It is good for our brains to be stretched.
Let me know what you find out.
Budweiser Shootout at Daytona or OK Corral?
I had a surreal experience watching the Budweiser Shootout today. Maybe because my brain is starves from no NASCAR for so long and the vast amounts of rain and grey skies over the winter.
I kept hearing what the Driver’s were thinking. ESP? Maybe…
Matt Kenseth: This ain’t a very good day.
Carl Edwards:**screaming hysterically** WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!! I almost hit those guys. Man that was close. (too be continued…)
Matt Kenseth: This ain’t the best day of my life
Tony Stewart: Oh Boy!! This is going to be fun, I am going to give Denny some experience. Where is that perfect spot on the back of his bumper?
Denny Hamlin: Oh my gosh! I am in the LEAD! **looks in the mirror**…Uh oh! Tony 
is going to help me! BUMP. (This same BUMP happens approx. 101 times.)
Matt Kenseth: Oh great, something else can go wrong.
Carl Edwards: WHAT!! **more hysterical** WHAT?!! WHAT?? #$%%#$# NO!!! I am NOT GOING TO DO IT!!
Tiny voice in radio that Carl Edwards is not listening to:
CARL GET IN HERE NOW!
Matt Kenseth: I am ok…count to 10…
Big Baby Busch: Muahhaha…
Tony Stewart: You little @#$%$.
Big Baby Busch: Muahhaha!
Ryan Newman: You little@#$%$
Big Baby Busch: MUAH-HAHA1
Mark Martin: Someone needs to teach that boy some manners.
Big Baby Busch: MUAHHAHA! HA!
Mark Martin: You little @#$$%^$!!
Big Baby Busch: MuAH-HAHA! Who’s next?
Dale Jr. : Don’t even think about it, you little Turd.
Big Baby Busch: Vrrrrooooom….
Dale Jr.: You little #$^$$. That’s it. Somebody needs to teach you some manners. VROOOOOMMMMM!
Carl Edwards: WHAT!! THAT’S NOT RIGHT!! HOW IGNORANT CAN THEY BE? NO! I AM NOT COMING IN!! **tears of rage now blurring his eyes…body shaking with extreme shock of it all**…decides to come in, all the while protesting…
Matt Kenseth: I am still in…
Tony Stewart: WOOHOO!! GO DENNY!!
Denny Hamlin: **waving wildly** Tony, you’re scarin me!!
Tony: VRROOOM!!!
JR.: VRRROOOOM!!!
Denny: WHOA!!!**screaming bloody murder** YIKES!!
Carl Edwards: $#&*#!! !#$&*!!
Dale JR.: Outta my way!!
Tony Stewart: NOPE!
Dale JR: YES!!
Tony: NOPE .
Denny : YIKES!! I won! I really won!! Wow!! I won!! I really Won!!
Congratulations!! That was a heck of a race. There is a reason Joe Gibbs hired Denny Hamlin.
Bump Draft anyone?
Busch gets community service
Busch gets community service
PHOENIX – NASCAR driver Kurt Busch was ordered to perform community service after pleading guilty to three traffic citations Wednesday, his attorney said. Busch attorney Lee Stein said his client pleaded guilty in Tolleson, a suburb west of Phoenix, to excessive speeding, a misdemeanor, and two civil citations: following too closely and passing in a no-passing zone.The community service was part of a plea agreement, Stein said, and must be completed within a year. Busch also paid $580 in court fines, Stein said.
Maricopa County deputies stopped Busch in November near the Phoenix International Raceway after he allegedly ran a stop sign while speeding. A police report said the deputy smelled alcohol on Busch, and the driver became belligerent. A breath test showed Busch was far below the legal limit for DUI. Busch said he was returning from dinner with his fiancee.
“You’re only doing this because you’re a Jeff Gordon fan,” Busch was quoted as saying to the officer in a police report.
Busch later apologized for being “disrespectful.”
Another article by Brent Whiting of the Arizona Republic states:
“With the Daytona 500 coming up later this month, NASCAR driver Kurt Busch wanted to clear the decks of a big distraction – namely, the reckless-driving ticket he got last year near Phoenix International Raceway during a traffic stop that turned nasty.
Busch, 27, appeared Wednesday in the Agua Fria Justice Court after striking a deal with prosecutors that wipes the slate clean, except for seven points to be added to his driving record. Busch pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding, a Class 3 misdemeanor, and admitted responsibility for following too closely and passing in a no-passing zone, both civil infractions.
Joe “Pep” Guzman, the Agua Fria justice of the peace, slapped Busch with a total of $580 in fines and ordered him to perform 50 hours of community service.
Lee Stein, a Phoenix lawyer for Busch, said the Penske Racing South driver wanted to end the case and move on with his life. “He’s excited about racing for the Penske team,” Stein said. “Now he won’t have this distraction bothering him.” He said Busch, a North Carolina resident, can perform the unspecified community service anywhere, under the direction of the court, but the former University of Arizona student wants a chance to do some of it here.(in Arizona)
Busch was pulled over Nov. 11 while in town for the Nextel Cup Checker Auto Parts 500. Sheriff’s deputies said he was stopped for driving 60 mph in a 45 mph zone, swerving to avoid a car and running a stop sign.
They said that a cursing and belligerent Busch got out of his car and said, among other things, “Don’t you know who I am?” and “You guys are such a joke.”
He later apologized for being disrespectful to the deputies.
Bud Denker, vice president of Penske Performance Inc., said he believes the case has been resolved “in a timely and fair fashion.”
“Kurt is certainly excited to be moving ahead,” Denker said. “He’s learned many lessons from this.”
I hope so. His scope says he is still in the danger zone….
I think he almost admitted to the world about his real identity as an Alien that night when he asked: “Don’t you know who I am?”
Oops…
The previous post was supposed to be posted at The Church.
Dumb ol’ me. I bow in humility.
This was supposed to be here:
You can’t control other people. Not even a little; not a smidge. Every man and woman is their own sailing vessel powered by their own thoughts, emotions and imagination. You can’t improve their smile, nor even add to their woes, unless, at some level, they let you.
So, does that pretty much clear up the affect others can have on you? 
You rule –
Just don’t let them know you’re ticklish…
FOXSports.com – TonyStewart.com- Tony Stewart gets hearse back from SPEED Channel’s Unique Whips
FOXSports.com – TonyStewart.com- Tony Stewart gets hearse back from SPEED Channel’s Unique Whips
This is one of the reasons that I enjoy Tony Stewart so. He looks for fun in his life and he is not afraid to be weird. I look forward to the hurse being finished.
The Grateful Dead had a hearse in my old life. What a long strange trip it’s been. Being a Deadhead and a NASCAR Fan really isn’t that much different actually. They are each a Culture of their own, with many diverse people sharing the love of something in common…having fun, unique experiences with people all over the lad. Travelling far to see you favorites. Your hero’s.
Jerry Garcia would have loved Tony’s spirit of adventure. His dedication to his personal growth and spirit and loyalty to his group of family and freinds would have got him a pat on the back and a Right On!! as only Jerry could do. When he said it he meant it. Then they could have had a long converstion about Fractals and Chaos Theory and how it could be applied to Tony’s life and performance. What a conversation the would be. Just imagine Tony crediting Quantum Physics for his improvement. That would be so awsome. **laughing as I write.** It would be too cool. Bad cool. Wicked cool!
Boogity! Boogity! Boogity!!

Science Fiction??
An antisocial loner teams up with a plug ugly 6 lb dog to save the earth from aliens. In the process they rescue a super intelligent monkee. By the end of the movie they chase 10 oogly aliens and end up winning the admiration of their universe, living happily ever after.

NASCAR Superhero Driver’s Foil the Evil Aliens Plot Again!!
The next sequel (concept #2)
A long time ago in a big black Hummer, far, far away, the NASCAR Rebe
l Forces were locked in a life-and-death struggle against the Reckless Busch Empire for control of the planet Vegas-Phoenix-A-A/Al-Anon? Luckily, a young boy named Duke M. Nukem Kahne teams up with a wise? old soul/pervert **not decided yet** named OpieWannabebackinmayberry or **some other red-neckin’place**, who whips out his limp light saber at a moment’s notice to rescue Princess Danika (or maybe it’s Carol Channing, it’s so hard to keep them all straight without seeing the hairdos) from the evil Darth Busch, and his sidekick Big Baby Busch, attempted but failing practitioner’s of the Far Side.
Along the way they get advice from a wise creature named Sir Petty, meet a digitally designed character named Jar-of-Jellyryanewmanbe
ans who doesn’t look half as realistic as everyone says, and of course, a cute race of “Held in Holiness” creatures which closely resemble Dale JR and Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson, and serve no purpose other than to get you to ooh and ahh so they can sell a lot of expensive merchandise to people who have nothing better to spend their money on.
They’re captured. They escape. They fight an aerial battle on the dangerous Planet Dega while piloting a member of Jefferson Starship and, of course, kick butt. They decide to let Darth have Princess Danika after all. They lived , loved fought and got in trouble together and lived happily ever after except for Eva.
In the final scene, Duke M. Nukem Edwards and Darth Busch fight til they are sent to the Trailer, using their officially licensed flashlights to see each other, while the audience, (always speaking in long run on sentences and typoneese to keep fooling Aliens) exits early so they can buy up all the NASCAR Wookie Cookies they can find from Jabba-Mikey the Sponsor Pimp so they can sell them for big bucks on e-Bay.
May the Farce be with you!
February
I hate February. The memories of the last couple of weeks of my Mom’s life flood in…I wish it were just good memories, but it’s mostly horror. I cannot believe it has been nearly seven years. It is like yesterday. The same sickening feelings hit me every year, right after my birthday. I hate it. Of course, I remember the good times and the fact that my mother loved me very much. It’s just that my body- brain memory automatically kicks into processing mode…Unconscious feelings that I buried at the time out of coping necessity, come rolling over me like huge ocean waves, that swirl over me, get caught in little inlets and swirl around for awhile before they go back out to sea. Then the next wave hits…on and on…every year there are new memories to process.
I worked in Crisis ( DV, Child Protection, Hospice) work for so long, that being able to turn off my emotions in times of urgency was an emotional tool. I am the Queen Mistress of Detachment. I am glad I had that tool at the time. It allowed me to cope with the issues at hand, automatically. I was in auto pilot. I pay the price for that auto pilot mode every Feb. with a severe bout of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
I was the strong one in the family. I was the counselor. I knew about the importance of the family processing feelings. I knew the death process. I knew what happened both physically, spiritually and emotionally to the patient and the families.
I was working as a Hospice Counselor at the time that my Mom was diagnosed with brain cancer ( Dec. 23,1998). I went on leave when she was diagnosed, because I knew it wouldn’t be healthy for me, dealing with death every day. I needed to be there for my Mom and my family. I knew what brain cancer brings. I had seen it many times. We were determined as a family that my mother would not go to a nursing home to die. She didn’t. She died at home on Feb.17, 1999.
I am writing a lot in my “secret journal” at Oprah.com right now. I can process and whine and cry and go into the horror in detail there if I need. I can scream and holler and write letters of anger to God/Goddess/All there is there with out feeling like I am pushing my stuff on anyone else. I also blab and on,in run on sentences. Jump from ship to ship. I’ll spare everyone else that.
It gets a little better every year, as far as the day to day dealing with the loss and my grieving. I had five deaths in my immediate family in a 2 year period. In Oct.2000, when the last death, the death of my Dad (he was my step dad but my DAD) happened, there was a part of me that went away and never came back. Like standing in front of a big thick picture window and shattering it with a sledge hammer. That is how I felt and feel a lot still… The window can’t be fixed. It can be replaced with a new piece of glass and a different view, but never fixed. I still find shards and slivers of glass sometimes…always lots of pieces in February.
Death sucks…grieving sucks…moving on sucks because you can’t move on without processing the past. The whole thing SUCKS.
Bear with my posts if they get a little icky and I don’t spell check or I disappear for a day or two, in the next few weeks. I am working on my own own stuff and dive into my hermit crab shell to do it. It’s an Aquarian thing…I am ok, I will always be ok.
I am a tough little cookie…
The only good thing I ever look forward to in February, is NASCAR starts again. Thank Goodness for NASCAR. **LOL**
Redneck Jam
I love redneck stuff…
