Head East Young Man

Once about every other month, I have to go out to our office in East Texas to apply the latest patches and just make sure their small network is running smooth. It's about an hour and a half drive from Dallas. I don't particularly look forward to these jaunts but it actually can break up the monotony. This trip, my boss decided to go with me, which is good, because he drives. It usually takes less time when he drives, because his BMW is a tad faster than my rice burner. On a particularly long open, empty stretch of highway, I mentioned that the fastest that I have ever gone in a car was 110 miles per hour. He promptly jumped on the accelerator and we were and 120 mph in two or three seconds. Quite exhilarating, that's for sure. It had plenty left under the hood too, but IM glad he backed down to ninety. As I said, these little trips sometimes break up the monotony.

"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself." Jessamyn West I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come...

The Cowboys Need a Miracle (Local team broadcaster)

I present to you, the greatest moments in D/FW history during my lifetime. I plan to flesh out the descriptions as time permits, so if it's skimpy now, check back later it might be even better than the first time you read it.... ★ 1975 NFL Divisional Championship Game ★ Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings Metropolitan Stadium, Minneapolis Minnesota December 28th, 1975 Here's the grim, hopeless setup. Dallas Cowboys at the frozen ass Minnesota Metropolitan Stadium (hey I have a great Idea, let's put an outdoor stadium that will be used in the heart of the Minnesota weather in Minneapolis). They have unbelievably just converted a 4th and 26. (This brings up one of the most insane NFL incidents of all time, and it is NEVER talked about. I of course speak of the 'Rib Kicking' Minnesota Security Guard/Policeman. In completing the above-mentioned 4th and 26, Drew Pearson used some Toe Drag Swag to make an unbelievable catch with both feet in bounds, falling...

The One Where The Heart Is Torn Into Tiny Itsy Bitsy Pieces

By local crushed blogger . This is nothing new. 26 years of marriage to the one. And I had to go screw it up. Am I sorry. I only regret it every other day of the year. So yeah. After that happened, I told myself that I'm not going to put myself out there. Too old to play that game if you know what I mean. Funny what 4 years of living in a tiny one room studio apartment can do to you. Being alone sucks worse than being scared to play the game again. The game went surprisingly well. You could maybe say it went spectacularly. Before you know it, I find myself in a Relationship. She was younger than me and that brought a totally different dynamic. If the two of you agree it's not a problem, then who cares what others think right? We watched movies she had never seen. I listened to music I would have never given the time of day to. It went on despite the age difference. We were totally compatible. We talked all the time. I totally opened up to her. As the relationship progressed...
