Are You Ready For Some Football!

"Welcome to Tina's" readers, the time is almost near. That's right, my favorite time of the year. Football season!

I can't wait to see those Eagles on the field again. And, I can't wait to see my Donovan McNabb take control of the field and the locker room again. Especially now that that nuisance Terrell Owens is gone. Don't get me wrong. He is a great receiver. One of the best ever in the NFL. But, who wants the headache of dealing with him. Well I guess the Cowboys do since they signed him to a three year deal.

And he had the nerve to write a book claiming that we didn't get to hear his side of the story.
Evidently, he claims that the media, the commentators, and the Eagles didn't let his side of the story come out. Are we supposed to forget about all of his antics before he even came to Philly.

Even though he helped us get to the Superbowl, I say "Good riddance". He's not worth the headache.

From The Mind Of Me

Ladies and Gentlemen, a poem by yours truly called:
* * * *
I Do Not Like Mark Minnick






I do not like Mark Minnick,no ma’am
I do not like him
Sam, I am











I do not like him at the pool















I do not like him and his stool








I do not like his love of Darren
In those gay shorts he’s wearin’






I do not like him in the rain
It’s my vacation do you know how much I’m payin’






I do not like him
Sam, I am
Well I guess he ain't so bad
Did I say that?
Damn!

My Favorite Things

Since I’ll be in Orlando next week and I won’t be blogging for a little bit, I thought I would give you an idea of what my vacation will be like by pointing out my favorite places to visit in Disneyworld.

I always enjoy having a meal at one of my favorite restaurants, Mexico.
I don’t remember the name of the restaurant but I do remember the best part about it. I can enjoy a sangria with my tacos al carbon. You can’t go wrong with a beverage that has red wine and brandy.


It’s always nice to walk off a good meal, so I like to continue around the World Showcase and see the different countries. Right around Italy is usually when I realize how thirsty I am. It’s a long walk from Mexico to Italy. I mean that’s like three continents or something. I’ve provided a map so you can see how far that really is. So to quench my thirst, I’ll have a glass of red wine to nurse the rest of the way around the lake. Now the great thing about the World Showcase is that you can get alcohol anywhere!


Now when it comes to a nice dinner, the Canada Steakhouse (it’s actually called el caller or something like that) is always nice.
I of course like to enjoy my meal with a tasty glass of red wine.

The good thing about staying at a resort on the Disney property is that it’s easy to take a break from the parks and go back to your resort. I like to take a midday trip to the resort pool where I enjoy a good book and a relaxing glass of wine.

If you ever visit Disneyworld, I recommend spending an evening at the Adventures Club on Pleasure Island.
It’s a show that consists of an acting troupe that puts on various skits throughout the evening. But that’s not the best part. The best part is that they have a bar there. That’s where I like to enjoy a nice glass of merlot. And if you stay there long enough, sometimes you can get an admirer to buy you a drink.

Another great nightspot is the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review at the Fort Wilderness Lodge. I definitely recommend this place. Good food, good show, and four words: ALL-YOU-CAN-DRINK. I only wish they would let me have a pitcher of sangria instead of by the glass.

Lastly, I would like to point out the only place I don’t like, the restaurant at Cinderella’s Castle.

Now don’t get me wrong. It’s a nice place to eat, but the last time I was there I asked for a glass of wine. Do you know what they told me? “This is a dry kingdom, my lord.” My response to that, “OH LORD.”

Well, I hope this ties you over until I get back. And if you find yourself traveling to Orlando in the future, please feel free to use this post as a destination guide. And don’t worry. I’m sure Mark will post plenty of pictures of me on his blog. And of course the only ones he will post will be the ones that make me look fat
