Nascar 2010

Really? I don't get it. There is nothing wrong with men crying. What a race that was! The two long breaks while they attempted to fix the track. Think of how nerve wracking that would be. Anyway, he is a sensitive guy. I think that is better than a guy that has no emotions at all.

No, there isn't anything wrong with men crying. I just think if he starts winning more and continues to bawl like a baby everytime, it is going to get old.

If I missed the race and somebody told me Jamie won, I'd punch them in the mouth and call them a damn liar. McMurray? Whodathunkit? Somebody needs to pull his Man Card for crying on TV though. But, it's not like he had a firm grip on that card to begin with

I will admit that I'm among those men, and there are many, that cry during an emotional time. As young boys we are conditioned to repress our emotion because it's not manly. When I was very young my father would spank me and with every swat, I would hear "Hush" because I was crying. I never understood why he was saying hush, until in his latter days admitted he had always been emotional and would cry during emotional times. He did not want me to be a crier like he was. In spite of all the conditioning I find I tear up at emotional times. I would probable blubber like McMurray if I won Daytona. I have known men that pride themselves for never crying. I really feel sorry for them because they are so repressed they also have a hard time being intimate. I find the older I get the more I realize that it is not unmanly to cry.

In the same vain I was always taught men do not embrace (hug) when greeting or saying good bye, they only shake hands. I ran away from home at 17 because of a conflict with my father, who never showed any emotion toward me. When we reconciled when I was 22 I hugged him and continued that practice until his death when I was 42. I taught my son that embracing another man is not unmanly. In my old age I realize those emotions that were repressed did more damage than good.

I'm thrilled he won!!! He is almost a local boy here. He's from our four-state area. His home town is not far from here.

Hey, stronger men than he, have bawled like a baby at winning Daytona!!!

Congrats to Jamie! Very happy that he got the win and I don't care if he cries or doesn't cry. If anyone is interested Jamie will be on Letterman tonite and Live with Regis and Kelly tomorrow.

Not a bad day for my guys.

Martin in 12th
Edwards in 9th
Kenseth in 8th

Its a good start. I'm ready for some more racing!

I do think it is a little ironic they spent all weekend focusing on Carl's wife and if she was going to have the baby and what he was going to do....but it was Elliot Sadler's wife that had their baby this morning.

Congrats to Elliot and Amanda on the birth of their son, Wyatt.

The local sports talking heads were laughing about the pot hole.

One made a joke about it being smaller than the kind we find on our
freeways.

I cry when I watch cooking shows.

Onions do that to me.
