Sunday afternoon, I’m watching ‘The Resurrection‘ a movie filmed IN SHINER, and starring my grandma in select parts. 5 stars on Amazon, but only available on VHS tape? What’s up with that? Long story short, its about a woman who has the power to heal, without any divine ties, hence society alienates her, go figure. [...]
I am going for my Six Sigma Blackbelt, and I can’t decide if the service I dropped a grand on is worth it, or is it one of those ‘for $69.99, we’ll send you a masters degree.’ I have to figure out a project for the sigma certification30-40 pages of stuff I plan to put [...]
The theme for the weekend, visiting great buds (Mike D, Manuelabor and Lacinator) and food that’s bad for you, two trips to McDonalds, an excessive portion of sloppy Mexican food, and the clincher, FRIED GUACAMOLE at the state fair. Somewhere in there we saw St Vincent at a posh museum in Ft Worth. Austin and [...]
I got asked a question today, if your life was a book, how would it read? I am going to try to answer that, but more in context of the soundtrack of my life. But first, who would have thought the boys back home would ever see me in an army vest, well here it [...]
Typing from a brand spankin’ new computer for my brother, with some altec lansing 80 dollar bling speakers from the amazon marketplace. When Jr saw the new computer, heard the music, looked at the screen, there was a smile on this man’s face, and family, you know how hard it is to put a smile [...]
A good dose of German-Texas heritage and Two Gallants were on tap today, one can’t appreciate the intensity of this two piece outfit from the Barbary Coast without seeing them live. At the Mohawk, Austin’s coolest newest hippest bar. The saying goes while talking to the barkeep, that, the place kept going out of business [...]
Counting Crows, August and Everything After, an album I have fond memories of, bought it in Atlanta GA and listened to it all the way to Texas on a Greyhound. It’s foggy and heavy, so its appropriate for the moment. Something in the album brings a great peace. As I’m sitting here with Collin and [...]
Boy do I need a dog — You know the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac stayed up all night trying to figure out weather or not there was a dog. In a land of tacos and chorizo, I’ve found the best german food I’ve ever ate. Only bad thing it comes at a LUNCH COST of 12.95 [...]
Holla from an empty Ruta Maya downtown San Antonio, looks like Austin’s attempt at exporting culture isn’t working too well in this location. I could elaborate, but I would just get sad, so hence, just gonna sit here and NOT chill.—————————————What do I have on my mind, well I have heroes and influential people on [...]
Strollin’ into Best Buy the other day, I snap of picture of something that gives me hope, an ENTIRE ROW of Ben Folds cd’s. How did that get there? Could have been an error, or Ben just could have made it to the masses. The CD sections of stores are thinning worse than my hair [...]
