Occasionally I stick my head out there to see what’s going on in the political arena, and America the Book was a good way to get my good ol shot of politics in there. Being a satire on American Politics written by the people at Comedy Central, it speaks in generalities and cliches that captivate [...]
Babyshambles have invaded Shiner, in the CD player in my car at least. O how would the blokes from the England be proud of the representation. Perhaps the only dude spinning that within a 100 mile radius of Moulton. Talk about a serious wet dream, if the band themselves would play the Ole Moulton Bank. [...]
Ahhh, Thanksgiving in rural Texas, a time when all your big city friends congregate in the small town and go to some crummy bar. It was a pleasure seeing John, my cousin who recently moved to Amarillo. Supposedly it gets as cold there as it does in North Dakota. So we loaded up the car [...]
Proud Parent of a U.S. Marine, some underground sh*t I snagged at Amoebia, is a mildly disturbing collection of beats and propaganda that compelled me to go see the movie Jarhead. The movie was as I expected, seeing some gung ho dudes trained to kill get all pissed because the airforce was getting all the [...]
*) — Outdoor Activities — The family tradition of football and geeking continues, this year with an ‘official NFL’ football, a city backdrop, and the same clothes Robert wore on the town the night before. This round’s wrestling match goes to my brother in law, as he has found a vulnerable spot where I’m extremely [...]
The pilgrims and the Indians made peace, the Indians taught the white man to plant fish next to corn and corn would grow better! Nevermind that whole blasting the hell out of them into virtual oblivion then honoring them on the dollar coin that didn’t take off, ‘Americanizing them’, and creating alcoholics. Tis the time [...]
My My My, there’s nothing better for the soul than a loving handful of Ben Folds for the weekend. For people who are in tune with him, we share an amazing bond. With that being said, The city where I call home is in tune with this musical brilliance. It’s amazing the difference a city [...]
Since I’m going to see Ben tomorrow in Austin, I’ll save all the sentimental jargon for the post tomorrow. Tonight the stage is set, the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie. Grand Prairie, where the hell is that? This place, from what I understand, replaces the ‘Bronco Bowl’, a place in which I have fond memories, [...]
Glory Days, yea, they’ll pass you by, as you are left with bittersweet memories, albeit more bitter than sweet. Tonight we watched the Shiner Comanches, defending State Champions beat the hell out of The Charlotte Trojans (hell of a mascot I think). The final score was 20-7, as the Comanches advance to the next round [...]
If you think The Texas Chili Parlor has some badass chili, we’ll you haven’t had Ronster’s blend. My ‘Yankee’ friends scoff at the idea of chili with Frito’s, saying they like chili and they like Frito’s, but not together. Opinions are like assholes, everyone’s got one, and I love eating Frito pie, especially when it [...]
