The Masters is a very important tournament. You don't want to jeopardize your chances. The sponsors understand that.

My Child's Tournament of Chess
High preparations
Great apprehensions
Last minute advises
Hope for celebrations
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Reaching the venue on time
Dying to know the opponent's name
Waiting for the match to commence
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Win or lose?
Life gets stuck
No mood to stroll
Hauling the mind
out of the chess hall
That's my child's tournament of chess.
My child starts appearing vulnerable
The opponent appears unbeatable
Praying for the win of my race horse
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Makes me meet all my weak emotions
Fear, jealousy, worry and doubt
challenge my sense of spiritualization
My mind gives me premonitions
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Gifts me a chance to become strong
A chance to climb up the emotional ladder,
for what I so long
A chance to look at the opponent as my own child
Pray for both to play their best
That's my child's tournament of chess.
My child's tournament of chess
allows me to understand
the meaning of failure
Two faces of the same coin,
success is no different from failure
Both are the part of the same destination with no comparison
Who can tell which is more important the Moon or the Sun.
My love for my child shall remain the same
Performance is no benchmark for the same
Win or loss, loss or win,
I will always love him
Whatever be the result
of my child's tournament of chess.

I like the fact that we have all the teams in the tournament. When I first got here as an assistant, not everyone made the tournament and I think as a coach, you look at it from a job security standpoint, I think that hurt when you didn't have everybody in the tournament.

I would say you feel a lot more pressure at a national tournament than a state tournament. This is more of a fun weekend out with the guys. The national tournament is more business.

You have to risk failure to succeed. The important thing is not to make one single mistake that will jeopardize the future.
The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.

Chances Are
Chances are if we'd meet again,
You won't know who I am,
Though you might remember the smile
Or you might recall the walk,
But chances are, you will not.
And if we did meet on the road again,
Would you smile and call my name
Or would you forget who I was,
Because now, we are not the same.
Chances are, you would walk away,
And you would forget what you saw
Even though you knew me then,
But now my face, you couldn't recall.
And if we were in trouble in the sea of life,
Would you be there to toss me a line
I know I'd be there if but for you,
But alas, that was a different time.
And chances are, if we were alone
You would then smile and talk to me,
You would be my friend, and remember again,
But chances are; that will never be.
Chances are, that I will never change
And that I will stay the way I am,
And you will stay the way, that you must be,
But I don't care, in this world of man.
I will act the way that I want to act
And I will do the things that I must do,
And I am not ashamed of anything or anyone,
But chances are, the hypocrite is you.
And as life is full of chances of her own,
She has her own steps and stairs,
And could I see you on your way down,
Chances are, I will be there.

Permit Me To Say It
alright, we are short of the patience
to understand,
let us talk, let us remove the condition
of having to talk with sense,
that is not important anymore
we talk together, let there be no
objective of having to understand
what is this
or what is that
what do i mean and what do you mean
it is at this point when both of
us are angry
very angry indeed
let us scream and shout
let the neighbors hear that we are at war
they will not understand
neither will i understand this
let the pressure rise
and let that be released
that is what is important
we scream together
and if everything is gone
and done
let us talk again
this time, i will be patient
and this time you must
also try to listen.

040810j Tiger Is Still A Tiger
i was watching masters on tv
i'm impressed how gallery
welcome tiger on his first
tournament since november
there's a bit of change in there
he's acknowledging fans
on back nine; familiar scream
followed by flapping iron club
ball is pin high; hit the crowds
good lie; chip to green, bogey
recovered to eagle; four under
viewers increase; remarkable

The Trick Is...?
the trick is learning
what you personally
need to know
just because you
do not understand
does not mean
others do not understand
what you do
or do not know
is not important
what is important
is that you learn know
all that you need to know
the trick is understanding
your necessary data information

Eisenhower
We are all creatures of the age into
which we were born.
Eisenhower let millions of Russians
die fighting the Nazis in 1942 and 1943.
He ordered cats shot on the White House
grounds.
He for many years patronized the segregating
sands of the Augusta George country club
which hosts the golf masters' tournament.
And yet if he were born in the last 18 years,
he probably would be involved in no violence.

Representing All of Life
Stereotypes no longer thrive,
As realities for them anymore.
There are too many avenues,
Where truth is revealed and oozes.
However,
There is an escape attempted now and then...
By those still proposing their point of view.
And ridiculous this becomes for the ones,
Who have committed to listen...
Since they have a self respect left that's valued.
Although to announce they are trapped amongst fools,
Would jeopardize their employment.
As well as lower their chances to get that ten cent raise!
It seems today that those 'lowlifes'...
Are representing all of life.
And folks are not so quick to admit,
They wish they were born of a different color!
Some just wish they knew more thieves and crooks!
And had lifetime 'careers' in religion and politics.
Where few are bothered to pay taxes.

Hows Chances?
When I want to see the boys
I know where to find the boys
I dont go through a club or two
I just find you and there are the boys
To get you alone I strive
You ask me to tea at five
I find you then with other men
And wonder when my chance will arrive
Hows chances, say, how are the chances
Of making you love me the way I love you
How many young men must I fight with
To be in right with
In right with you
Hows chances for one of those glances
A glimpse of the heaven Im longing to see
Hows chances to end all your romances
And start taking your chances with me
[alternate bridge:]
My castle will need some restoring
Ceiling and flooring
Furniture, too

And it's difficult for the average American to understand why something like that could be so important and why a little small place like Taiwan would be so important to the PRC.

He had served eighty masters. They'd have said
He had served eighty masters. They'd have said
He 'worked for these employers' to earn bread.
And they, if they had heard him, would have sneered
To brand him inefficient whom they feared.
For to know eighty masters is to know
What sort of thing men who are masters grow.

Never was You
There never was you
There's only me, I'm alone
Nothing compares to
Being stuck at home
It's important
That you pretend you're alone
Cuz, after all you
Never knew me at all
Gave you second chances
Let you beg on your knees
Let you do all these things for me
Tried to let you leave
Forgiveness
Comes as easy as happiness
It never comes at all!
And I know this for sure
I've heard this all before
Nothing matters, it's not the same
It's just the fact that
You never came!
There never was you
There was only me, I'm alone
Nothing compares to
Being stuck at home
It's important
That you pretend you're alone
Cuz, after all you
Never knew me at all
Oh you were never there
You never did care!
Always trapped alone
Even though you assured me on the phone
That everything was good and well
Yeah right, that line'll never sell!
There never was you
There's only me; I'm alone
Nothing compares to
Being stuck at home
It's important
That you pretend you're alone
Cuz, after all, you
Never knew me at all!

I think in both of those situations, it's important as an actor to learn, despite the success I had as a kid, that it's important to understand what it means to be a small fish in a big pond.

I am concerned about the attitude of a candidate or his sponsors with respect to the rights of American citizens to assemble peaceably and to express publicly their views and opinions on important social and economic issues. There can be no constitutional democracy in any community which denies to the individual his freedom to speak and worship as he wishes. The American people will not be deceived by anyone who attempts to suppress individual liberty under the pretense of patriotism.

The Rhinos
They are more important: understand
They watch over the plains from which we sprang
The plains we glimpse in monochrome at dawn
Not realizing what our eyes feast on
Protected by a camera or a glove
From that which we have learned to fear or love
They are more important: understand
They occupy edenic promised land
No title and no good deed left undone
It is their own, their holy site and stake
Where they are pacified and burned
By subterfuge and cruel recoil
Of tranquiliser dart and gun
Now in this casual struggle to the last
Who will outlive the other, who can tell
The pachyderm, the homo sapiens
Distilling shame from all magnificence
The quicksands of commercial commonsense:
The plains are emptier than when we came
They who are more important, almost tamed.
