Anybody interested in a FREE ride in a plane for 4 people?

I'm still looking for 2 more people to join us.

We'll leave early this Saturday morning from Charlotte, NC and will fly to Cancun, Mexico, where we will have breakfast and then board a yacht for lunch. After that, we’ll do a flight along the coast to see the beautiful beaches and return to Cancun for dinner, then fly back home. If interested please pm me…

Preferably someone with a plane and yacht, otherwise we can't go!

Next time you want to crash out, remember that Elijah wanted to die and God told him to eat and take a nap. You should try that.

Many forget how hard that John Popper harmonica solo hit on Metallica’s version of Tuesday’s gone.

And as a proper Texans, I enjoy a fiddle solo as well (from the Shane Smith and The Saints guy). First time hearing this for some reason.

A Child’s Journey With Their Father

5 years old - "Dad can fix anything!"

7 years old - "Dad is the strongest man I know."

10 years old - "Maybe Dad doesn't know everything?"

12 years old - "Dad doesn't understand my feelings."

14 years old - "Dad is so strict!"

16 years old - "Dad doesn't get my world."

18 years old - "Dad worries too much about me."

22 years old - "Dad is too old-school."

25 years old - "Maybe Dad was right about some things."

30 years old - "I should ask Dad what he would do."

35 years old - "Now I understand what Dad meant."

40 years old - "How did Dad stay strong through everything?"

50 years old - "I wish I could sit with Dad one more time."

One day, you'll realize - he wasn't being overprotective. He was preparing you for a world he didn't fully trust.

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

Forgive your dad.

He was learning too.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, but Nobody checks on a man to see if he’s okay. They check to see if he’s still useful.

Honoring Captain Brent Morel. He died on April 7, 2004 protecting fellow Marines during an ambush near Al-Fallujah, Iraq. Morel earned the Navy Cross for his bravery. He was a proud husband, son, friend and Tennessean. Let’s honor ALL our fallen soldiers today. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay

Patrick Swayze on how Marshall R. Teague & he nearly ki!!ed each other while filming this fight scene in "Road House" (1989):

"'Road House' (1989) gave me the opportunity to hone an old skill [Martial Arts] that I never realized I’d missed. I soon found out that I’d need all the fighting skills I could muster for this movie. Because the actor who played my primary opponent, Marshall Teague, was ready to kick my ass for real if he could get away with it.

From the very beginning, Marshall R. Teague, who played the bad-guy enforcer Jimmy, treated me like some snot-nose know-nothing actor. He had served in Vietnam and was a Navy SEAL—which meant he was a serious, real-life badass. He had no patience for bullsh!t and would say so to anyone’s face. Marshall apparently thought I was a dilettante pretty boy he could knock over with one of his meaty fingers. But when we started training, he learned otherwise.

He and I started rehearsing our fight scenes, and soon enough he saw that I knew what I was doing, and that I could take a punch. “Let’s put some contact into it,” I told him, well aware that he could lay me flat out if he chose to. But I knew if we choreographed it well, we could have some contact without killing each other, and it would look amazingly real onscreen.

When you earn the respect of a man like Marshall, you earn it for life. He and I became friends on the set of Road House, and we’ve been friends ever since. Not that many people understood his mentality, but when I looked him in the eye, we really connected. It was a good thing, too, because the fight scene we shot was absolutely epic, and we very nearly killed each other.

We fought in a river, and I was wearing nothing but little hip-hugger sweatpants—no shirt, no pads, no nothing. So when I hit the ground, I was hitting the ground hard. Since both Marshall and I loved the adrenaline high of a fight, it was easy to get carried away, and we really started pounding on each other in this scene.

After a few minutes of us punching and kicking the shit out of each other, Marshall picked up a log and swung it over his head. My eyes got wide as I realized he was about to break it right over my back. Marshall apparently thought it was a prop log, which would have been perfect for the scene—but unfortunately, it wasn’t. He realized his mistake midswing, but it was too late: He cracked me right across the spine with a real log, breaking a couple of my ribs and knocking the wind out of me.

I dropped to my hands and knees, gasping for breath, but the scene called for us to keep fighting. I didn’t break character and didn’t give up —we kept fighting, and eventually got to the part where Dalton is forced to ki!! Jimmy. When you watch this scene in the movie, the exhaustion you see on my face is absolutely real. I barely had the strength to drag myself out of the river after that fight."

P.S: On this day, 37 years ago, "Road House" (1989) was released in the USA & Canada.
