Wouldn’t it have been great to have had the opportunity to bet on some of the greatest race horses in history? For anyone with good racing tips, a fortune could have been made for certain.

One horse, Eclipse, won 18 strait races and was retired because no one would race him and betting wouldn’t happen since no one would want to bet against him!

Anyone with good horse racing tips has a better chance of making money at the races but not everyone has the chance to get in on a winning streak like that one.

Even a good horse racing tipster wouldn’t take that bet on after a few races because there would be no one to bet against and raise the purse. While that kind of record is rare, there have been several other great horses over the years such as St. Simon who not only won races, but sired nine other champion racers!

I heard on the radio the other day that there would be a big show coming to town.  Now, when I usually think of a "big show", I think of a music performer or band coming to town.  But this big show was slated to be something different.

What it was going to be was a troupe of fire eaters, jugglers and breathers that were coming to put on a show at our town arena.  We haven’t had a show this exciting in years, and I was sure that I needed to get in on it as it might be the only chance that we would have to see such a thing.

So, I went down to the box office to buy tickets, only to find a line down the block.  I knew that I wanted to go really bad, so I stood in line for five hours to get a ticket.

I just can’t wait to go see the show in a couple weeks when they are in town.  I am sure that it will be the most amazing thing that I will ever see.  I just know it.

My husband and his friend decided that they were going to go see a movie that was just opening up on Friday night.  This was all good with me, but my husband worried as most shows that are just opening are sold out by the time he gets to the theater.

I had to take my daughter out that afternoon to get her hair cut and my husband asked me to stop and pick up show tickets on my way home.  I thought this was a good idea and I went to the theater straight from the hair salon.  To my dismay, I had to wait outside for an hour before the theater opened.

I decided not to drive home, as by the time I got there it would be time to turn around and go back.  It was a very interesting hour sitting in the car with a two-year-old who had just gotten her hair cut and had missed her nap.  Boy, was I glad to get home.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes the lives of celebrities interests me.  I know that we idolize them to some extent, but I find that reading the latest net gossip is a great way for me to keep up with their lives - kind of like keeping up with the life of your friend.

Sure, I use the Internet for other things too like reading entertainment reviews and getting the reviews on the latest movies, but really, what else is there to do online?  Besides, I don’t think that if I were to put up a site about my life, anyone would show any interest.

But, when it comes to celebrities many people show interest.  In fact, you can share what you think at ratingzone when it comes to celebrities, music, movies, and pretty much anything else.  In fact, I would say that this site allows me to do my favorite thing online - share my opinions and ideas.

Well, I have tried for a long time to avoid MySpace.  My reasoning for not embracing the site is that I don’t have a lot of time to just goof around.  From what I have seen of my friends profiles, all of them spend a lot of time customizing their MySpace layouts and updating their profiles.  Up until recently I didn’t really have the time.

But things change.  You see I have been able to quit working a job and work at home.  So, I have been able to free up some time between tasks to fit MySpace in.  So this past week I have looked on many free MySpace layout websites to find some kind of layout that represents me.

I eventually found one that I liked.  Now, I wanted to use some MySpace tweaks I found to customize the layout - and make my site my own.  I moved some of the items on my page around and I am satisfied with how it looks.  Now all I have to do is add my friend… this is sure going to take a long time!

Well I sure had a long day at work today.  My boss had me do a lot of paperwork - both cleaning up old jobs as well as getting prepared for the week ahead.  Between work and classes, I no longer have a lot of free time to myself.  So any moment I get, however brief is treasured.

Since my day today has been such a long one, I decided I needed to take a little break from studying and work to do something fun.  Of course I found myself sitting here at my computer writing this blog and looking for something to do.

I ended up checking out a funny videos site - and spent my next half hour here laughing.  Man, some of the things people do - I wonder if they realize what they are doing.  When I started getting a little bored I decided to play some games online.

Free online games are one of the things that keep me away from studying.  I try to limit myself to less than an hour each day, but sometimes I just get carried away.  Tonight I did not set myself a time limit though, as I need a day off.  So I am taking a break from the games to write this.

Alright, times up.  Enough of this blogging, I am going to go back and play.  Hope you all have a good night - I know I will
