Wait A Second, Who Are You?

I’m not going to name names, but the person I’m speaking about has been in the news lately, and her “mission” is touching millions of people across our country.  She is a female, she is under the age of 18, and she seems to be be really concerned about global climate change.

If someone showed up at your doorstep and began ringing your doorbell, would you let them in?  Keep in mind, you don’t know this person, and you’ve never met them.  Well, I would hope not, but of course, our country has welcomed the minor with open arms.

The fact that she has sailed here across the ocean by herself in a solar powered row boat is really interesting.  Doesn’t she have school though?

It makes me wonder?  Is she running from someone or something?  Does she have a disease that could infect the entire American population?  Has she been exiled?  Who is she really?  Does she have a birth certificate?  (oh wait a minute, that’s why OBAMA fist bumped her, they have something in common.)

What’s her real name?  Is she a symbol of world peace?  Does she really care about the temperature of the planet?

If, and I’m saying if, she sailed across the ocean alone, that’s very brave of her, and I admire her for having “that get up and go” mentality, but to look at her, she doesn’t seem really passionate at all about the topic of which she speaks.  They say she’s swiss, but that’s only because she looks like the “Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate Girl” with her braids.  I think she’s German.  Something isn’t jiving.

That’s just my opinion.

Alright Everyone, Have A good Day!  Write in, and let me know what you think.

NCAA College Football Feature Follow-up

Sunday, September 22, 2019.

First things first, money, right?  Okay, we gave you SMU getting 9.5 points.  THEY COVERED.!!🎆🎇🎉🎊💲  https://noozbuffet.com is now 2-0-1 versus the spread.

SMU did the unexpected.  They traveled to Fort Worth as 9.5 point underdogs, and beat (25)Texas Christian 41-38.  We knew SMU was outscoring opponents 35-6 in the first quarter, and of course, playing on the road this week, we stressed the importance of them getting off to a fast start.

Boy oh boy, they didn’t disappoint us either.  SMU QB Shane Buechele rushed 4 yards for the Mustangs first touchdown.  Then, TCU fumbled the ball on their own 1 yard line, and SMU recovered.  On the ensuing drive, Xavier Jones rushed 1 yard for the Mustangs second touchdown, and it was 15-0 just like that.  When the first quarter ended, SMU was winning 18-7.  They scored early and often.  Mission complete.

Shane Buechele did throw an interception, but he also threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns.  His completion percentage was almost 70%.  On the ground, Xavier Jones did carry the load.  He touched the rock 19 times, and had 79 yards and a touchdown.  (that’s a little over 4 yards per carry)  Not bad at all.

TCU never really did rebound from that first quarter.  They trailed the entire game despite scoring 21 points in the second half and almost making a comeback.  I don’t know what happened to that two-headed monster in the backfield, but Darius Anderson did some serious damage.  He rushed for 161 yards and 2 touchdowns.  The Horned Frogs did a really good job spreading the ball around.  Eight different receivers caught passes, but Pro Wells stood out with 2 td’s.

We said when it was all said and done, only one team would remain undefeated.  The SMU Mustangs are now 4-0.  I really thought this win would spring them into the NCAA Top 25, but I guess voters aren’t giving them that much respect yet.

I don’t know WTF these people look at.  UCF loss to Pitt and they’re still in, Army’s in with one loss, and Michigan has one loss.  They’re even considering one-loss Iowa State for the 25th spot.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday, and we’ll see y’all next week.  Don’t forget, every Thursday we post the Table 7 Top 6, at 6am, and the Nooz Buffet NCAA College Football Feature Game of the Week analysis is up by 3pm.   

 

Week 4, Ncaa College Football

Table 7 Top 6

  1. (11)Michigan @ (13)Wisconsin- This classic Big 10 match-up kicks off at 12 noon on Saturday.  Both teams are undefeated.
  2. Tennessee @ (9) Florida- Tennessee travels to the swamp to play the Gators this weekend, but those Gators are hot and hungry with wins over Kentucky and Miami.  Florida is undefeated, Tennessee on the other hand, well, they’re still looking for their first win.  Won’t be this week.
  3. Boston College @ Rutgers- This is another game that kicks off Saturday afternoon at 12.  B.C. will be traveling to my home and native land, New Jersey, to play the 1-1 Scarlet Knights.  Last week Rutgers had a bye, which is good.  Hopefully they took advantage of that extra time to prepare.  Boston College lost last week 24-48 against Kansas so this is an important one as I’m sure they’ve already had a “w” penciled in. Shhh!  Upset?  I hope.
  4. SMU @ (25) TCU- Last week, TCU was victorious over Purdue, 34-13, while SMU enjoyed the weekend off.  The last time SMU played they bitched whipped North Texas 49-27.  SMU and TCU are both undefeated, but a slight edge will be given to TCU because after-all, they’re playing home.  TCU is ranked 25th, and that’s good for SMU as a win would bring them some much needed respect and recognition.  This should be a really good game.
  5. (15) UFC @ PITT- I don’t know for a fact, but I’m pretty sure Central Florida plays every week with a bit of a chip on their shoulder because of the way they’re treated when playoff time rolls around, and rightfully so.  They’re one of several teams that get railroaded despite having a perfect record.  Right now, they’re fast off to a 3-0 start, which includes last week’s 45-27 win over Stanford.  Coach Narduzzi and his Pittsburgh Panthers lost 10-17 to in-state rival (13)Penn State last week.  I like Pitt, I sincerely do, and I hope they continue to get better and win games, but right now they’re not at the Penn State level.  I hope they’re over it, and focused on UCF because this game won’t be easy for them.
  6. (7) Notre Dame @ (3) Georgia- Kick off time is Saturday evening at 8pm, and the Georgia Bulldogs are home.  Both teams are undefeated and both won last week in blow out fashion.  Showtime!

Inhale, Don’t Inhale?

I don’t know the first thing about vaping or electronic cigarettes, but I’ve seen both getting a lot negative publicity lately in various news sources.

According to an article published in the Morning Call yesterday titled, Lung disorder hits Valley,”  St. Lukes, a local hospital, is beginning to treat people with injuries related vaping.  To be exact, they’ve treated half a dozen people with severe lung issues over the last several months.

Health officials have even taken steps to send speakers to middle schools and high schools to speak to young students about the harmful side effects that could possibly be related to e-cigarettes and vaping.

In addition to lung disorders, fatigue, coughing, vomiting, and shortness of breath have also been seen as side effects.

Like I said, I don’t much about this, but it did just seem to come out of nowhere.  All of a sudden people were walking around with electronic cigarettes.  Some said it was an alternative to smoking “traditional” or nicotine packed cigarettes.

I think it’s fair to say the worst it yet to come in terms of illnesses and side effects if vaping is fairly new.

I took some time this morning to interview Ray, the manager of Vapor Galleria, a local Vape shop in Pennsylvania.

Ray said he has been in business for five years at his location on Broadway in Allentown.  He also said business has been good and the recent publicity vaping and electronic cigarettes have gotten has not affected his sales.

“We haven’t had any issues here,” said Ray, “all of our juices are manufactured by us in Oklahoma CIty.  I think a lot of the issues are happening when people buy black market Juices.”

“Juices” are the actual substances people are inhaling.  (I just found that out, lol)

So yes, there is a black market for vape juice.  Not everyone who’s vaping or using electronic cigarettes are doing so as intended.  Some people are experimenting and using their own substances, which adds a completely different dimension to this in terms of related illnesses and side effects.

Alright everyone, be smart, and be careful.  Don’t vape weed, crack, or whatever the hell else you’re inhaling.

Have a wonderful day.

Kentucky Blows It In Final Seconds

You could actually say the wind blew it because the winning kick sailed wide right with like :43 left on the game clock.

Good Morning NJ, PA, and the rest of the world.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day to today with it being Sunday and all.  Some people work today, some don’t, but what’s important is that we’re doing whatever it is we would like.

I don’t know how many people actually watched the Florida Gators play Kentucky last night, but it was a fabulous game as expected.  I said Kentucky would show up at night, at home, and win this game, but they ended up loosing 29-21.  If you took Kentucky with the 8 points then at least you didn’t lose any money.

I know some people got the spread at 9.5 so congratulations to all of you.

I was a 22-21 ball game with just under a minute left to play.  Kentucky drove the ball down the field in dramatic fashion, and on fourth down, special teams came on the field to kick the potential game winning field goal.  The Wildcats missed the kick and turned the ball over on downs.  Then Florida put the nail in the coffin with another touchdown run that went for 76 yards, and the extra point was good.

When the final quarter bagan, Kentucky was winning this game 21-10, but the Wildcats didn’t score any points in the fourth quarter.  In fact, they were leading the Gators 21-16 all the way up until…

Florida intercepted a pass at the six minute mark, and on their possession, the backup QB, Trask, ran it into the endzone for six.  Florida went for two but failed to convert, and the score was 22-21, which is where it stayed until the  final minute.

Florida is now 3-0 and ranked first in the SEC East, while Kentucky fell to 2-1.  They’re ranked fifth in the same division.

Wait, what?  Hawaii?  I don’t know.

Noozbuffet.com is now 1-1 with Feature Game Picks.

 

Happy Friday….the 13th!😈👽💜🌕

Hello.

I said to myself I was going to take the next day or two off from writing and posting, but with today being Friday the 13th and all I said, what the hell.

Astrology-

I just wanted to share some things I found, and few opinions concerning the practice.  I would say it was around 2009 or 2010, when I first started having an interest in Astrology.  I guess it started from reading my horoscope every once in a blue moon, I don’t really know, but suddenly it became a subject I enjoyed researching and reading about.

These periods of research come and go, and I think it’s because they’re really intense and time consuming.  So over the last ten or so years I’ll study, learn a little, let it go, and then get back after it.

There’s a lot of information relating to astrology on the internet, and when you add books, and magazines to the mix, there can be a ton of material to look at, and if you’re the type of person that has a real interest or passion for it, then you know just how distracted from everything else in your life you can become.

What I wanted to share with you was the uniqueness in astrology I found, and this is seriously, what I’ve come to appreciate.

There’s are so many astrologers on the internet.  There are so many people reading tarot cards, and birth charts, and for an aspiring astrologer or someone who wants to do tarot readings for people, it can be intimidating and frustrating.

But, it’s the uniqueness of astrology that ultimately grants you a seat at the table.  I’m not a professional of astrology, and I know there are many many people who know just as much as I do and usually more, but that’s okay.

I’m not trying to become the smartest astrologer. I realized that a vast portion of symbolism and signs are still buried in the subsconscious, and that’s for a very very specific reason.

As much as I research and study astrological material, a lot of it still hasn’t come to the surface yet, for me.

We can all go on the computer and everyone can visit the same websites and read about astrological signs, houses, alignments, and aspects.  This is the basic understanding of what’s out there.  It information that people already discovered and eventually shared.

Over time, the more you live your real day to day life, more of what’s hidden will come to the surface for you, if of course, that’s what you want, and that’s what I look forward to.

Astrology is very personal.  Fun? Kind of, yes, but personal.  I look forward to my personal interpretation of signs and symbols to surface and develop because that’s what separates astrologers.  You give a reading using a system that billions of people can use and have access to, but your interpretation and understanding is completely different.  At that point, astrology has come to life in you.

Social Media

What’s going on Y’all?

I wanted to take a moment to weigh in on social media.  As you know, I’m the owner of noozbuffet.com, and I also have a Facebook page, and a Twitter account.  I communicate through all three outlets.  I’m not nor do I ever plan on hiding behind my screen.  I’m a writer at heart, but I have a passion for seeking facts, truth, and researching.

I’m here to help, and the best way I can do that is by sharing my personal experiences.  I post my real pictures, and my real name and information because I’m not hiding from anyone, and I’m not doing anything wrong.

Now, if you want to be stupid on Twitter or Facebook and send ignorant comments, pointless insults, and threats behind an account with no picture and a name like G232475648375, well, I’m just going to fucking block you.

In addition, all you really do is fire me up and motivate me to write more.  So in a way, I’d like to thank you before I block you.  Nooz Buffet has been up for just about a year and I have 50,000 words published.  Keep it coming.

Moving forward, you should not even be allowed to have a Twitter account or any other social media account without providing real legitimate information about yourself.  There would without a doubt, be a lot less scumbags and cowards on stage.

Thank you.

Alright Everyone Have A Good Evening

 

 

A Letter From Table Seven and NoozBuffet.com

Dear Readers:

And so here we are, the 26th day of August in 2019, and I said at some point, Nooz Buffet would eventually get a little more organized and specific in terms of content, which, right now, the timing couldn’t get any better.

I know the postings on here are random, we jump from one topic to the next because I’m covering what comes to mind, and what I encounter in conversations and outdoors living my life.

As we prepare for another year of blogging, news sharing, and content, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for following and reading along.

We always encourage dialogue and feedback.  Your thoughts and comments are important to us, and eventually, you the readers will have an important part in the direction we decide to go in.

Thank You.
