Don’t Worry About the Government January 30, 2007 1 Comment

Is anyone disgusted with all the mudslinging going on as it pertains to politics? Is anyone accused of being unpatriotic because you believe one way or another? Are you sick of generalities uttered by politicians about 5 subjects, and the mass populous ‘debating’ over stem cells, abortion, wars, and morality? Times change, politicians change, but [...]

A Diamond is a Diamond, A Stone a Stone, But a Man’s Not All Good nor All Bad, Call Them As You See Them January 29, 2007 2 Comments

Body, Mind and Heart That’s the theme of this posting, the catalyst is the my buddy looking inside, and my observations. This kinda stuff is what I like to read, often I think, is it good to ‘expose’ yourself in this manner, and my gut feeling is……The system is watching you as it is, you [...]

Tired Like The Beggar with the Cold Inside His Bones, Looking for the Pleasure that he Knew was so Far Gone January 27, 2007 No Comments

What a night, certainly can’t recap, but it was an evening with Mr. Sugarland Gillar, at the Mucky Duck in Houston checking out The South Austin Jug Band. An interesting night, considering the jug band was playing to a packed house who paid 12 bucks a pop to get in the door. I was jokingly [...]

This Gun’s For Hire, Even If We’re Just Dancin’ in the Dark January 26, 2007 1 Comment

First off, I LIKE this place, Mohawk Austin, it’s a proper place to chill have a beer, great indoors, great outdoors, great upstairs, great lighting, great prices, great entertainment, yea. Sarah B, my Austin friend displaced in NYC was in for a visit. As she tells me how to ‘make your small Brooklyn apartment comfortable, [...]

The Gossip’s Bearing Down on Me, The Kids are Pairing off in Front of Me, I Should’ve Stayed Home January 25, 2007 1 Comment

If I had a slogan to put on a bumper sticker, or one to articulate what I was thinking in the picture below, the tag line is what it would be. I’m sure that’s what I was thinking back then, just didn’t know how to explain it, in my 14 year old body. If I [...]

He’s A Bandit and a Heartbreaker, Oh But Jesus Was A Crossmaker January 24, 2007 3 Comments

Mom made us go to Sunday school, to the extent that my two sisters had 14 years of perfect attendance, and I had 13 years. I still remember the Sunday I missed, I was about 12. I was really caught up in a Lost in Space episode and I couldn’t be bothered to make the [...]

Ummmm, This Used to Be My Playground?? January 23, 2007 3 Comments

Diggin’ through an old shoe box full of pictures is always a surprise, more to come of old school pictures, for the purpose of archiving. This is in Shiner, Texas, the little league team ‘The Mints,’ circa, damn I can’t even remember. (‘Mints’ because we were sponsored by the First National Bank, Shiner….I think) Actually [...]

Career 2.0 January 18, 2007 1 Comment

Here’s what I want to be when I grow up, at least for the next ten years. Everyone hears about web 2.0, myspace, and all the other goodies out there to digest on the web today, but I think very few understand shortcoming of the digital era and what impedes its growth. For those of [...]

The Party is Jumpin’, With the Bass Kicked in and the Vegas are Pumpin’ January 16, 2007 2 Comments

Guess global warming is influencing the weather in South Texas. Once in 86 I built a snowman, there was enough snow, I’ve never made a snow angel, its on the ‘to do’ list. What I CAN do almost every year is set a pitcher of water on the porch, and to my excitement in the [...]

And When you Pray for Independence, Boy, You Better Stand Your Ground January 15, 2007 1 Comment

The weekly review — let’s see, the highlight of my week was Friday night, geeking out with some private stock, and listening to none other than Bon Jovi’s New Jersey. If I were a rock star from the 80′s it would have to be Bon Jovi. Why you ask? Well, if you look at the [...]
