Now, don't go running for something to throw at me, remember I'm from Detroit! Anyway, Have you ever noticed that the real quiet people are always the ones that slide in under the radar.If you are watching this season, I can relate it this way. Ami, the really tall blond short hair girl who was voted off last night, was a strong personality. Much like me. She was able to control the situation and everything was fine, at first. Then after a few weeks everyone began to feel inferior to her, because of her ability in the challenges and because of her control over her teammates. POOF! she was voted off. <br /> <br />However, if you look at Scout it's different. She has not athletic ability at all, she is not very loud, but she does espouse her thoughts from time to time. Why has she been allowed to hang around the game? She is not perceived as a threat!!This is one of the greatest life lessons an individual can learn. <br /> <br />If you become threatening to the people around you, for whatever reason, they will get rid of you. Word to the wise. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9418718-110210394047019428?l=theflyingsquirrell.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Squirrelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07349343388486384274noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9418718.post-1101950756440714402004-12-01T17:18:00.000-08:002004-12-01T17:25:56.440-08:00That's Right, <br /> <br />There is an eleventh commandment! I recently had the priveledge of sharing a bottle of Crown Royal Reserve with a good friend of mine from college. On our way to finishing the bottle we discovered that liquor this good needed to be savored. It also helped that we were frickin wasted. After many good laughs and most of the bottle I had another epiphany. If you have just shared a bottle of this nectar with said good friend, and you are playing spades with this good friend, DON'T GO BLIND LOW!!!! I was going low, and she passed me the Ace and King of spades. Anyway at one point during the evening someone made the comment that Clairebell looked like she was going to re-serve the Reserve. And there was created the 11th Commandment. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9418718-110195075644071440?l=theflyingsquirrell.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Squirrelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07349343388486384274noreply@blogger.com5
