Guard Dog

2009-08-13T20:40:26Z

Giganto Pup is turning into a guard dog. He now barks when someone is at the door. He doesn't bark any other time. Even though he is a pup he has a big bark which will be nice for any potential robbers.

He is a really good addition to the family.

Many beloved television shows are no longer with us, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Six Feet Under, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. What defunct television show do you miss the most?

Firefly for sure.

It was a great western in space with very interesting characters. I am sad it wasn't given the chance it deserved.

I hate Wells Fargo.

2008-12-02T14:26:23Z

I hate Wells Fargo.

After all the hoops they made us jump through we are finally getting the check to pay the contractors.

Unless they have some hidden ones. I expect I will have to sell my soul, my contractor's soul and sacrifice a chicken before they actually hand me my money.

Sad when FEMA and the insurance beat them in response time.

Family and God and Faith

2008-11-12T03:21:12Z

My family is the most important thing in the world to me. I would die for my two boys in an instant for their well being.

Most people who know me don't know I have an equal faith in God. I thank my Mother and Grandmother.

These two things are my foundation in life. I don't care about money, fame or looks (God didn't bless me there so that is a good thing).

I care only for my family and God.

I try to always see the bright side of things even though I am an asshole. I know that sounds weird unless you really know me. I am a big asshole but I have faith.

Things happen to me but I don't really care because I have faith that it will all work out in the end.

People who love me think I am full of shite. I am a joker. They don't take me seriously. They don't understand why I do the stuff I do. They eventually do but at that time it is to late.

I don't understand God. God doesn't make sense half the time. I don't know if God is kidding or being serious. I have faith even when I think God is wrong. Who am I to go against God? It will all work itself out in the end.

Sometimes I think people need to have faith in other people and especially God.

Wonders what he should get Anye for her birthday?

Any ideas?

How you know you are addicted to something?

2008-10-06T20:52:49Z

How you know you are addicted to something?

You do something that you wouldn't normally do in other to fulfill a vice you have.

I am a normally a lazy person. Plus God didn't bless with skin that can be outside for long. That is probably why he made me a programmer.

So...

Today I walked outside to my car.
I took the stairs because the elevator was slow.
It is humid outside. My body registers 20 degrees hotter than most people.
Got to my car and started looking for change.
I went through every crevice and dark hole of my car.
I found 15 cents. I need 60 cents. Grrr.
The sad part is I was fairly certain I had picked my car clean the other day doing the same thing.

I still don't have my Coke. (Coca-cola not the powder.)

*Sigh*

New Music (or stuff I found recently that I like or not)

2008-09-29T19:13:07Z

Buckcherry (Black Butterfly)
- Not very good, one good song. I like their previous stuff.

Motley Crue (Saints of Los Angeles)
- Decent album. I like the title track.

Metallica
- Finally a return to form. It rocks!

Kings of Leon (Only by the night)
- Never heard of them but I like the group. Hard to describe. Kinda Southern rock. I like the track Cold Desert.

Miser (Miser)
- I like the cover of Zombie by the Cranberries. The rest of the album is good.

Serj Tankian (Lie Lie Live)
- Empty Walls remix rocks.

Slipknot (All hope is gone)
- I like the Snuff track.

Anye slapped me... many times.

2008-09-29T12:42:59Z

We were swimming yesterday and she started slapping me.

Mosquitoes... but she seemed to be enjoying it. I doubt I had that many on me.

Makes me wonder...

PETA is the dumbest organization on the planet... They make me want to eat beef.

2008-09-27T02:46:18Z

PETA suggests human-milk ice cream: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/bizarre/6023627.html

These people are nuts. They have Pam Anderson as a spokesperson so they are obviously not playing with a full deck.

Chinese food

2008-09-17T22:59:54Z

I love Chinese food. It is probably my favorite overall. Even though my Mom's Mexican food kicks ass.

BUT...

Chinese food is the worst freaking leftover ever. It never tastes good the 2nd day. Never. My favorite Chinese restaurant Lai Lai Dumpling House in Houston is the best. Take it home. Put it in the fridge. Take it out the next day and dump it. It taste like ass.

WHY?

Attention Deficit Disorder

2008-09-04T21:58:49Z

I don't believe I have this. I just think I am lazy. I am just not motivated to work or follow through with stuff.

Obviously, I do work because I have kids and they are more important than my laziness. I just have no motivation. I have great ideas but I don’t follow through.

I have a great person in my life, awesome kids, decent paycheck and a soon to be improved house.

I am not complaining. I actually like my life. I just think I can do something to make it better.

Maybe I have it too easy. Maybe my life is too good. Maybe I am just a lazy ass.

I wonder if I temper my ideas because I am not good with extremes. I am evil when I am mad. I am an ass when I kid around. I am aggressive when I compete. I don’t want to be my extremes so I do nothing.

Coffee Part Deux

2008-08-28T19:06:50Z

IT HAPPENED! I FREAKING SPILLED IT ON ME AGAIN! AGAIN!

Damn it! I specifically walked slow. 2 feet from my desk. The coffee got up... and jumped on my arm.

GRRRRRRRRR!

Coffee 1001
Me 0

Coffee

2008-08-27T20:59:02Z

Why is it, I always spill my coffee? I don't spill any other drinks. Just coffee.

I though maybe it had to do with it being hot and karma is just getting its due but I never spill hot cocoa. Just coffee.

Same cup I use for all my drinks. Same way I carry it. Coffee is the only thing I spill.

Every freaking time.

Does coffee hate me? How could it? I don't drink alot of it.

I know cows hate me. They chase me. I assume they can tell that I have eaten my share of beef. But coffee?

I apologize to any coffee bean I have ever offended.

House Rebuilt

2008-08-25T17:03:41Z

Anye and I are getting the two bathrooms fixed up. New tile, paint, toilets and a shower fixture.

We are also getting the garage carpeted for our game room. Just need to get a portable AC unit for it. I can't wait for the gameroom to be finished.

We are still unboxing but we are about 80% complete.

House of Fun!

2008-08-11T17:34:52Z

Well we are moved in... lots of fun.

Things to do:
1. We got about 30 boxes left to unpack.
2. I need to get the downstairs AC fixed. Too dang hot.
3. Pool rocks!
4. Getting cable put in on Thursday.

Jason is excited.
Anye is overwhelmed.

Tire blowout

2008-08-07T14:37:18Z

I had a tire blowout on the tollway going home yesterday.

What sucked about it was there was no place to really pull over. I got off the tollway and on to the access road. Crap! There is no place to pull over there either to change the tire.

.5 miles later I find a small piece of pavement. Changed the tire. Took it to NTB to get a replacement.

Well...

My brakes are crap, alignment is jacked... Sigh. I already knew this but I wanted to finish moving into the house before I spent money on my car.

Oh well...

Moving

2008-08-06T18:27:54Z

I am moving back into my old house this weekend.

I am looking forward to it. The house itself is nothing special but at least there is more space.

It does need work. Some paint and the bathrooms need to be gutted. I also would like to carpet the converted garage since it will be the game room.

Fun times!

Addiction

2008-07-25T19:49:07Z

I am addicted to soft drinks, Coke, Dr. Pepper, etc.

These little bastards are the hardest thing I have ever tried to quit. They need to come out with a patch.

Where is my Coke? I need a fix.

Uh Huh

2008-07-22T20:53:55Z

My oldest son has a bad habit of saying Uh Huh to just about everything. It drives me nuts and I can never get him to stop outside of smacking him like a bad, bad donkey.

Until...

Last night we played Viva Topo which is a game about mice trying to get as much cheese for their family before the cat eats them.

Later that night my 5 year old wanted me to tell him a story. He wanted a story about cats and mice from the game we played earlier.

So I made up a story about two young mice trying to get lasagna from the refrigerator before Garfield gets them. They want lasagna because they are tired of eating cheese. It of course means sneaking out while Anye and I are sleeping.

Fast forward...

My oldest mouse son does nothing the whole story but say Uh Huh to everything the youngest says to him. My oldest was embarrassed and annoyed. WIN! Do I really sound like that... hell ya. You sound like an idiot.

Sometimes you have to hear yourself to understand.

I wonder what annoying things I say...

Cold

2008-07-22T13:55:10Z

I think I have a small cold. Stuffy with a headache. I hate being stuffy.

Update: I feel better!

Tastes like...

Bad Poetry 101

2008-07-15T16:32:19Z

There once was a lady I adored,
with shoes and socks that I abhorred.
Black was the sock of choice,
as if that was a choice to rejoice.
She bought new shoes to appease,
she fell down the stairs with ease.
All I have to remember her by is black shoes,
black socks and a time share lease.

Green Porn

2008-06-19T01:12:25Z

Not really porn... It is done by Isabella Rossellini.

Basically she dresses up as various insects and shows us how they have sex.

I recommend the bee, snail and praying mantis.
