Tony Island Blog - Sane Thoughts for an Insane World

Welcome to my blog! Well, well, well - the 2008 darlings of the NFL AFC East division, the Miami Dolphins , have LOST in the first round of the playoffs!! YIPPEE! Worst to First -- and now -- One and Done! I love it! It seems it was Florida's destiny to take two bottom-of-the-barrel teams (NFL's Miami Dolphins and MLB's Tampa Rays) and make them Division winners in their respective sports this past sports year...but, unfortunately, neither team could "go the distance". The Dolphins collapsed today while Tampa collapsed in October! Can you tell I'm a bitter, poor-sport New England Patriots / Boston Red Sox fan? :) On to next week's playoff rounds - with my two "enemy" teams (Colts, Dolphins) knocked out in the first round!

Welcome to my blog! So, I didn't get a chance to watch the entire marque NFL Wildcard Weekend game - Indianapolis Colts vs San Diego Chargers. The last play I saw the Colts were ahead and had just intercepted a potential Chargers touchdown pass. I figured it was over for the Chargers. I turned on the TV to watch the beginning of Saturday Night Live (the only part that's still funny) and I see the football game went to overtime and the COLTS LOST ! YES!! YES!! YES!! I'm so sick of hearing about Peyton Manning. And even sicker about the potential Manning vs Manning matchup in the Superbowl. Whew! Sorry - I know they are both good quarterbacks, but I'm just sick of hearing about them. Isn't that petty of me? Jealous that I have no talent, too. But still... Am I being too mean? Too petty? Too something? Let me know by leaving a comment below! Thanks for reading my blog!

Welcome to my blog! Happy 2009 to all my blog readers! I wish you all the best in 2009! How did you spend New Year's Eve? I watched The Poseidon Adventure and then watched the ball drop in Times Square (on TV,of course!). Did you make any lofty resolutions for the New Year? If so, share them below! Maybe you'll inspire me or another blog reader to do the same! Didn't make any resolutions for 2009?? Well, let us know that too and why you didn't! Looking forward to sharing more in 2009! Thanks for reading my blog!

Welcome to my blog! Well, I finally went to see Tina Turner on November 16, 2008 at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, MA! While Tina was as great as ever, I was less so - I sat TERRIFIED during the whole show because of my seat in the balcony! I don't know what came over me, but from the start of the concert till the end, I couldn't bear to look down much. I was able to see the stage for the most part, but had some sort of fear of falling or something. My hands were sweating throughout the performance! The balcony seats were really steep. I have a some what fear of heights, but this time was crazy, considering that, several years ago, I sat in a similar balcony position at another Tina Turner concert with no memorable ill effects at all! Check out this concert clip: Please note: I did not take this (or any other) video of Tina Turner, but thought I'd share it with you! Do you have any thoughts on my height phobia? Cures perhaps? Your own experiences? Did you see Tina in conce...
