Smashing Pumpkins, Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, or family pumpkin carving outings, pumpkins are sure to reveal a smelly interior, as you scoop out the guts, you vow never to eat pumpkin pie. This year, it was the bat and the spider web, as I nearly barf at the smell. Jeannie and the Kman [...]
I’ve never been much for Halloween, like many say, its an excuse for chicks to wear slutty outfits. Mike D and I venture out to Natedoggs party only to find we are the only people at the party without an outfit. I guess I could say, I’m standard Robert Bruns, plain ol’ street trash. Low [...]
She Rocks, what makes Austin kinda cool, what other city this size can come up with 12 AWESOME bada$$ rock chicks and make a calendar out of it, and on top of that, donate profits to a non-profit. Jane Bond, man I used to have a crush on her, but alas, she’s cool, I’m not. [...]
Tonight was my first ‘shopping’ trip since April. I have been travelling with one pair of pants, worn last Thursday, Friday, Sat (while in the rain at the renfest), and today at work (yes, by then the pants were a bit musty and ripe). Still not having touched home base and heading to New Braunfels [...]
Ahhh, The Texas Renaissance Festival, I’ve been waiting to go back for 14 years, When I was a young, I suppose a JR in high school I went to this with sis, and it was spectacular. Don’t ask me what went on in the last 14 years, but it’s turned into political correctness and ‘good [...]
Killer cars is right, last night on the way home, as I35 goes from three lanes to two, the Astro Van in front slams on the breaks, I therefore slam on the breaks, barely missing a collision, but the Altima behind me, BAM, slams into the back of the VDub, and the momentum pushes me [...]
Ahhh, the musings at despair.com, we all get a kick out of it, especially if you are in that sorta demotivating environment, the stuff either gets you going or gets the best of you. The book I continue to make progress on is amazing. It’s slow progress, because it’s challenging, every concept of it, a [...]
Sometimes I don’t think my hometown deserves a festival like this, and sometimes I think this festival deserves my town. First of all, getting a lineup of sissies, a bunch of alt-rock has-beens, a Hodge podge of country artists, for the performers, a proper lashing out / and vice versa from the religious zealots of [...]
Today we made a fast trip out to brother Derwin’s house for some family bonding. We checked out his fully restored 72 Corvette Stingray, his latest project car, a 69 Camero, and to tour one of his 5 oil rigs he works for as a consultant. Derwin says whenever he has a bad day, he [...]
Skype, the new old hotness since Rolando and Olando haven’t embraced Google Talk yet became the venue for a geek out / bad music session tonight. Rolando, Olando, Mike D, Mike P and myself all hopped on the conference and talked ummmm, shit the majority of the evening. Some recordings also came out of the [...]
