Irving, TX

Did you know Irving, TX, was more than likely actually named for Washington Irving?   I spent the night at our company yard in Irving. It's off 482 over near the old Cowboys stadium.   Yesterday, was mostly spent finding the next rest room. It wasn't a fructose issue though, just something I ate. One time I couldn't make it to a rest room and had to stop at a picnic area to make use of a garbage bag. Definitely not something I don't want to do everyday.   I have been working on Chapter 18.

It's been a while...

I've been neglecting GA really badly. Makes me a little sad, but it's because I'm just so busy all the time with all of this insanity that is collegiate life. Really, though, I have an extremely important announcement to make.     I got my hips pierced. HAHAHAHA, YES! Microdermals!!! It's like a tiny plate thingy they slide under the skin after punching a hole with a needle. I want six total, three on each side, but I got these first to see how they'll end up looking and feeling so I

What should I write about for my first blog?

Seriously, there are a million things racing through my head.   Should I be compelled to warn people again and again to a future that I have predicted in far too scary formation and accuracy? Then these blog entries are psychic readings and maybe I should charge rates higher than Ms. Cleo with her crystal ball.   I predicted a split of the Republican Party with elements re-aligning in favor of Democrats 6 months ago. I predicted that black voters will most likely not help and possibly hurt

To all the people that wrote to me...

... because I am a resident of California, this is for you.   For the record, I voted NO on Prop 8... as if that needed to be cleared up. Furthermore, I'm REALLY f**kING DISAPPOINTED that a little over half of the people that live in this state still find it acceptable to take, that's right, I said TAKE away the rights of another human being.   Discrimination... bigotry... selfishness... arrogance... ignorance... naivety... hate...   You know, I am so against these things that my brain

Reasons to be Happy

I woke up this morning, late, after watching election news until 3am. It's like the political Superbowl. But I woke up in a happy mood, excited that after 8 dreary years of Bush bullshit we might actually be able to restore America, economically and internationally, into the respected pillar that it once was. I love my country. I think a new day is dawning, a day where we actually try to solve our problems with new approaches. I feel the same way I felt after I voted for Reagan in 1980, my

Win some (big time) and lose some

I'm way overdue in making an entry, but I just had to say something on this history-making day - the day after America elected Barak Obama to be the 44th President of the United States. My wife and I were Obama supporters from the beginning. I usually don't go around making a big deal of my politics, but I strongly believe in the basic premise that government has an obligation to ensure a level playing field for humanity. That doesn't mean there needs to be a huge bureaucracy, but the lack of

6 Shots of Courage for the Darkness Within.

Thats all it takes... or maybe seven the details become sketchy when dealing with Patron and Jose Cuervo...   I skipped out on class last night. I had to gather the laptop delete some FTP accounts so no unauthorized access happened. Plus I just deleted all the files and pictures I had on the drive. Better that way, who needs nosy techs snooping through a persons stuff? So yeah as I was about to box it up, having whispered sweet nothings, windows decided it was high time to install vista servic

Broken dreams (Yes, I too am uninspired)

We often dare to dream. Someone, or something, comes along that you want more than anything. The problem comes when you realize what is probably lost to you forever. It's the ultimate in not being inspired. It's problematic to say the least, but who knows what will happen? It just makes me wish I could crawl under a rock, but I can't do that. I'm much better than I was a few months ago, but now that I am more "normal", it actually makes things more difficult to deal with. It may be a while, but

Conley, GA

Oh, piddles!   I tried to do an entry earlier, but when I clicked on Preview, nothing happened until IE informed me it couldn't display the request page. It had some really great stuff in it, too, but now it's gone to wherever lost blog entries go when IE can't get its act together.   Such is life.

Front yard pic and update

Here is a picture I just took of Dan in the front yard - we put up the Obama/Biden sign up last Wed and just got the "No on 8" sign this morning and put it up.     Also - just got back from my weekly check-up with Dr. Spears - again, very happy with my blood numbers and progress. My white blood count is actually LOW right now (this is the one that was originally close to 400 where normal is a range of 4.1-10.9). During last week's treatments, it went under 100 and was happy with last Mond

Gosh such a great brotherly talk (ugghhh)

Gosh my mom had me talk with my #2 brother about my NO JOB situation.   I have to say talking with any of my brothers on this subject is like you might as well just take me out to the shooting range and pull the trigger or the other saying "Reopen an old wound and pour salt on it"   Gosh, why is it ever easier to talk with people that's not your family than with. I don't expect them to change since my family is not much to hugging nor giving love nor helping out another brother beyond wor

I Don't Like Mondays.

Ahhh, another day in paradise.   So it's Sunday night, 9pm. I should be sleeping because there's a Grand Prix at 3.45am, but I can't be bothered. That's right, I'd get up at 3.45am for motor racing. A man's gotta have priorities. But there's gonna be one nasty side-effect... 7.30am start at the office tomorrow. 7.30am start every day of the week, in fact. Why do I torture myself like this, seriously? 7.30am starts are the devil. I've never been a morning person and I never will be a morning pe

Feeling FANTASTIC!

I got out of the hospital late Monday night (Oct 27) - as Dan puts it, my last chemo treatment ended about 10:25PM and at 10:28PM. I was on the phone calling Dan to pick me up (I had been packed for 3 hours at that point).   Tuesday was ok (still recovering and tired), but from Wed morning til now, I have been feeling great. I still get tired and can't just go, go, go - but have been accomplishing things around the house and just overall... um... feel great (have I said that before)!   Two

All Hallows Eve

So Halloween was interesting this year... There was class, which was moved into a lecture hall instead of the normal classroom it is held in. It was moved on account of potential noise due to a "Haunted Valley" Thing the student council was throwing on campus last night. It looked interesting from what I saw of it. Kind of an alternative for families as a safe alternative to trick-r-treating. More on the safe part in a moment....   There where a number of booths setup for the kids in full rega

Smith's Grove, KY

Disconnected thoughts ...   I drove through Wilkinson, IN, today and was struck by its overwhelming quaintness. There were pumpkins everywhere. There were children playing in the park. There were people out talking to their neighbors (it must have been half-time). I imagined last night with a lot of trick-or-treaters going door to door without fear of being shot or poisoned. Other than the enormous Church of Christ at the edge of town, it was my kind of town. Pity that.   I got into some hig

Back to SK

Well, I just started playing the new round of Star Kingdoms. last night. This is awesome. So far, I know of 4 other GA members who are playing. 2 of them, Demetz and W.L., are in my sector, which is really cool. I also know that Lissa and Mattie are playing as well. This is going to be f**king awesome! I think I'm getting a much better start this time, and I think I can do quite well. It's a fun game, and if you're interested, start quickly, because the round is already in full swing. Being any

Annapolis, MD

Honestly, there are some places big trucks are not meant to go. Yet, to get a Common Carrier Alcohol Permit I had to go to 80 Calvert Street, Annapolis, MD.   Luckily, I had the foresight to leave my trailer at the customer's locaton. I can see driving a truck and trailer into Annapolis, but I can't see getting the silly thing turned around to get it back out.   Quaint and big trucks do not go together. It took me forever to find a parking place for the truck.   I came in on Rowe, turned r

Late night Bolero time

I sometimes have a hard time going to sleep. Thus, I am listening to Bolero, one of my favorite musical pieces. It has a variety of beautiful instruments playing the chorus, and it blends so well It even gives me goosebumps. There is nothing wrong with a love of classical music. It reminds us of the days of yore when life was simpler. By simpler, I mean that the world was not modernized. If you wanted to hear a song like this, you had to go to where it was being performed live. While that is sti

Harbinger of Doom

I just saw an advertisement for "Captain Dan and his Scurvy Crew," who provide the world with "Authentic Pirate Hip-Hop."     I'm still trying to assimilate that one. I'm making an effort to be rational, and not to view it as a sign of a coming apocalypse, but I think it won't hurt to hit a confessional over the next couple days and take communion this weekend.

Losing Ctrl

Sunday afternoon as I was getting Tiff squard away in her new Hosted Status, and generally annoying anyone I could get ahold of on MSN the left hand ctrl button on my laptop popped off. I was annoyed to say the least. Missing buttons look ugly and ghetto. To say the least... Really I was more concerned with the asthetic more than I was any function.   Then I got to realizing how much I use that damn key for cut and paste...   Anyhow I did some quick research... this is how you replace said b
