new addition to the family

We have a new addition to our little family..... a kitty named Jingles. It's little black and long haired. I was hoping that Brewski would eat it but that didn't happen.

Randy Castillo Day

Today is Randy Castillo day. It's official by the Mayor of Albuquerque, Martin Chavez.

Randy Castillo, what an awesome drummer and musician. I saw him once when he played with Ozzy Osbourne with a then time small opener Metallica in the spring of 1986 at Tingley Coliseum on Ozzy's Ultimate Sin Tour. My first show that I ever saw that I saw two awesome musicians that had their lives cut too short, Randy Castillo and Cliff Burton.

Thanksforgimme Day

I'm still here.

I have a lot of things I wish I could blog about but I feel that most of that shit I must keep to myself or blather about it on a later date.

This is all besides my Steelers, really. They suck ass and I love 'em, but that's beside the point.

Up until Thanksgiving day, I've been a wreck. I've been way thankful of what I have in my world. I've worked hard to get where I am but it seems people want to somehow leech from my being by asking for monetary help. By all means, I'm not a rich dude. I just provide for my family.

I've heard this argument....Help your family at any lengths, but I don't want to help the ones that think they deserve 'handout'. Navajo way says, help your family at all costs. What that means is provide help to those who are in dire need. I'm not here to pay your bills, fill your Hemi's tank. Geez.

Parts of me says, fuck it...other parts say give 'em what they want........some other parts say jump from the Wyoming bridge and see if they care. Well, I'm sayin' fuck it. I could be any other place but here but I want to be here. I've reached goals that I've sought since I was a kid. I'm me. I've got to take care of my own. If you can't prepare, shame on you. It's Thanksgiving time, not Thanksforgimme Day.

Thank you all for being a reader of my blog. I appreciate you all. Be good and God Bless.

purple finger

I voted. I'm glad that the campaigning is over and the negative adds on my tv have stopped. I wanted to blog about alot of stuff but I might sound like too much of a complainer than thinking positive about our nation. I know that we have it better than any country on this planet. Sometimes it sucks ass but I love it.

Now if the damned Steelers start playing like world champs, maybe I'll get back to normal.

Last Sunday, my wife and I went to see Carlos Mencia at the Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque. I was by far one of the best shows that I have ever witnessed.

At first, we had bought our ticket way back in the middle of the summer and got what I thought were the very last seats available for the show. Between then and the time of the show, they added another show that night at 9pm. I kept checking the net and found that there were seats way up front. Ahh shit!!! I could try to sell these but they were way in the back row, nobody would even think of buying theses nosebleed seats. Oh well, they were Carlos Mencia tickets, it'll still be good. I was right. Of course I would have loved to be seated in spitting distance, but I think my wife would have been kind of unconfortable considering the content of his shows. Hella show. She loved it.

I'm sure some of you have seen Carlos Mencia's stand up or his Comedy Central Mind of Mencia show, but I have found that he is one of the most honest persons I have ever seen in show business. He really understands Freedom of Speech and the awareness of our social differences and sums it up into a comedy routine that will make you piss your pants. I think I made a little pee too. Shit, he was was funny. For most people, who are uptight and abide by thorough political correctness will find 90 percent of show offending and will usually run off crying that he said, "black" instead of, "African American".

I, like Carlos Mencia, don't like stupid people and will make time to point out their stupidities. I don't try to be like Carlos, but we share alot of views and you'll find that some of my posts may be in your view insensitive and politically incorrect. I, as you do, have the freedom to say what ever we want to say. I just wish I had come up with the idea to make a living out of all the dumbasses around us.

Hey my good people, find time to laugh!!! It makes the world go around alot smoother. Rock on.

I am loyal

Yeah, some cheapshooting chingons came and gave me shit that my Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the San Diego Chargers yesterday. I know. They point the fingers and shit then I say, well what the fuck happened to your Tampa Bay and New England faggot jerseys? Huh? I'm a Steelers fan and I have been since I could pee standing up.

Well, for one thing, the season is still short, and another, if it all goes to shit, I'm still wearing the black and gold.
________________________________________

Well, yesterday went pretty good. I fired up my smoker and cooked the best brisket that I ever had. That dead cow came out juicy and crusty with a mouthspanking flavor of hickory and spicelove. Holy shit, I should go on the road with that. Oh well, I'm still working on fine tuning my brew. Time will tell.

I got a couple of gifts from my mom-in-law and my girls. I got a new spice rack, a pack of 15 golfballs (because I hit those fuckers all over the place), a new copy of Flyleaf's debut CD, and the best present ever (because all my little ladies made them), peanut butter cookies. I am one lucky mofo.

Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday, I played my best worst game of golf at the Sandia Pueblo golf course. I shot a 150+ . I got a couple of little gifts from my family. I am happy.

Thank you all.

20 long years

Cliff Burton (Feb. 10, 1962- Sept. 27, 1986)

I remember that I had just seen Metallica with Ozzy Osbourne at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque on May 13, 1986. I was one of the most memorable times in my life. That evening I was on the left stage in front of Cliff Burton when he handed me a cup of beer, no shit, and it slashed everywhere because the fuckers that were around me were scraping at the cup as well. That styrofoam cup from an awesome musician I was able to hold on to until a time later when my mom cleaned my room. She thought it was a piece of trash on my shelf.


Rock on.

I need 3 friends!!!

What happened to summer?

Rain clouds over the Toadlena mesa

Geez, what a summer. It lasted like one month for me, well actually just the hot summer weather did. When it all started it was hot as hell and forests were burning all over the place you'd think that Satan cut a fart on New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest. Then the rains started and still today dropping all over the place. I think it's my fault though, I bought a pool and then the rains started. Ha ha, I can only laugh because everybody has been praying and hoping for rain but I'm pissed that my kids and I can't prune-out in my brand new well deserved swimming pool. But we needed the rain, the necessity of all life. Please don't get me wrong, I so way wanted the rain but dammit, I just wanted to soak as much I wanted... just a little bit more.

I did get some new irons this summer and my game has improved. I got Callaway's x-16 3-PW and a new Taylor Made R5 driver. I broke a hundred again and hope fully I'll get better. I would like to try to enter some individual tournaments next year. Thanks honey!!!

I went to see OzzFest 2006 and the Family Values Tour at the Journal Pavilion this year. I still have my personal advisor, Carlos Mencia, to go to. Korn was a killer show.

Oh well, it's September and the World Champion PITTSBURGH STEELERS are on my TV and I'm loving every minute. Thank God for football.

I'm bummed...a world without Steve Irwin, how can it be?

This dumbass just needed a ride home, however, he should be taken out in the back woods and have some real justice for all the other shit he has done.

I went to an Isotopes game last weekend with my best good buddy Jonny and after a while I started to day dream ......

I'm chewing on this plump hotdog with mustard, relish, and onion followed by a sip of sudsy Isotopes amber ale when a dude looking like me running towards the crowd behind homeplate screaming something pertaining to Allah and cablooey.... the fucker blew us up.....

Why was I thinking this? Well, I guess, Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, visited my reservation with open arms from our Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley.

What the Fuck? Are you out of your frickin' gord? Didn't he tell us what we already knew?

I'm trying to enjoy a game here, but I'm bothered by this thought that there may be some dude named Jimmie Yazzie Muhammed in the making .... some where in the back woods of Dinetah. It's bad enough that there is racial tension between the Dine and the border towns so why have a freaky Islamic radical step upon the only land we have left? Why turn the target of United States Homeland Security upon us?

I'm all about changing society by getting rid of racism. We can't keep building these walls of bigotry between the folks of the bordertowns and the rest of the country because of a few people's assumptions that EVERY white person hates the Navajos. Geez, we should be beyond this.

Well some of you might be thinking that I'm just going ape-shit here because Louis Farrakhan is a muslim .... well ... every person that is wielding an RPG, AK-47, IED, or flying jets into buildings to kill my fellow Americans here and abroad seems to be a muslim. I know that there are quite a few peaceful mulsims out there but they aren't raising there voice to stop their mulsim brothers from beheading Westerners. I'm not sayin'...... I'm just sayin'. If it quacks like a duck, it must be a fucking duck. I'm just stating the obvious.

I want to know that I don't have to look over my shoulder in fear and that I can watch a game of baseball safely without these thoughts.

GO 'TOPES!!!

Research that makes a difference

You know, I've been trying to convince people all around the world about this research that I was doing. Now some other dork is getting all the fame and glory. 17 beers a day is all it takes....is that all? I wish it would prevent the whole (pun) examination altogether.

Today is June 6, 2006....are you scared? Did you sleep with your bible? Did you sacrifice a black cat? Or, did you just wake up, showered, drank a cup of coffee, and drove to work?

Dammit, I wish I had some records to play backward!

Borders, Foreign and Domestic, cross it dammit!!!

There are a lot of U.S. Border Patrol cruising around here in the Albuquerque area. They've been around rounding up illegal aliens from Mexico who have been making there way up to northern states and Texas. A couple of months back, a SUV packed with 14 Mexicans wrecked and killed the a bunch of them while driving north on I-25 in the early morning hours. Police figured that they were driving all night from the southern end of the state. Before that, they were running for their lives to just get into this country. They got to the promise land and died from the result of exhaustion. What a waste of life.

Before recent times, I really hated knowing that folks in Mexico were running across the border into this great country of ours and taking jobs our good ol'boys should have. Now, I realize why they come here. That is exactly what they are doing.

You know, I'm glad that these folks are coming over and doing the jobs that what are believed to be beneath the average US citizens standard of employment. Somebody has to do these jobs. I guess we "Americans" (although, we are all Americans....really, get out you geography book, even Canadiacs are too stupid to know that too) are better than being fruit and vegetable pickers, carpenters, roofers, landscapers, and general laborers. I've done all of these jobs and so have many of my family, fellow Dine', and other native brothers and sisters. What gets me is that I don't see any uproar about Mexican Nationals taking up these jobs that healthy and very able native peoples are entitled to. All I hear about is the high unemployment rate on the Indian reservations, especially mine, the largest of them all, the Navajo Nation which has about 80% unemployment.

I guess you have to live in a situation where one would have to leave his own country to live or die by starvation. I haven't heard of a native dying from starvation since the late 1800's...maybe because they were munching on government cheese.

I may offend some of people and I really don't care, it's the truth. There are 19 pueblos and one big and two little Navajo reservations with very able bodied natives but not one of them hammered one nail in my house or mows my lawn. A shit job it is but it's a job nonetheless. You see, these folks left their country and their families to come here to provide for their dependents, and at times, at an ultimate cost of losing their lives in the desert. My native brothers live in this country but won't leave the rez because they don't have a ride. That just does not make sense. It should be easier for us than for them.

If you're one of those who think that it's about border security, think about it, how the hell do you think a terrorist would get through? Really! If a freaky-assed Arab terrorist got through and blew some shit up here in the US, the government would try to build a wall to separate the two countries....shit, that's like killing a cash cow!!! I feel that Mexicans are our best defense because they would beat a camel jockey to a bloody pulp and bury his stupid stinky ass in the Sonoran Desert with out any penalty. Think about it. I think that they are looking at the wrong border.

Recall where the Arab Islamic terrorist came into this country to carry out the 9/11 attacks.

1/2 tbls dry rosemary
1 tbls chopped garlic
2 tbls cayenne pepper
1 tbls dry sage
2 tbls paprika

Directions:
Mix it all together.
Use on ribs or chicken.

Cook in same manner as Soutwestern recipe

Number Of Servings:Enough for 2 rib racks or 2 chickens on a rotisserie.

Preparation Time:10 min

Dead Pigs are delicious too

Title: Western-Style spareribs

Description:
Makes you slobber! Don't worry, this is not as hot as it looks.

Ingredients:
5-6 lbs. spareribs (babybacks baby)

Rub:
3 tbls. chili powder
2 tbls. ground black pepper (crack 'em yourself)
2 tbls. paprika
2 tsp. crushed red pepper (chile caribe)
1 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic, minced


Directions:
Trim ribs and remove membrane. Rub both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, work it into the meat. Set aside for about 30 min at room temp. or refrigerate overnite. Make sure you cover it.

Cooking techniques:
Grilling
Smoking (best)
Oven (city folks do it this way)

Use mesquite, hickory, or other fruit wood for smoking.

grill - if you can, push the coals over to one side for indirect cooking. Use a metal container to hold water. This will keep the meat juicy, any size will work. Make sure you have enough room for the ribs.
Put the ribs on the side where there are no coals. Cook until the 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until meat easily pulls from the bone. This really depends on the temp. Temp should be 250F to 300Fdegrees to get things done quicker. Some times, it may take longer. I usually smoke ribs and brisket for about 4 hours minimum at 225F. This is best. Believe me. Make sure you have plenty of ice tea or suds! If you have a pool at your sheepcamp, get in. Sheepdogs are welcome, they deserve it.


Number Of Servings:6 servings

Preparation Time:1.5 + hours.....4hrs at 225F is best. GOOD BARBEQUE SHOULD NEVER BE RUSHED, PLEASE PLAN AHEAD. Rock on.

Title: Steak with Mushroom Wine Sauce or just plain grilled steak

Description:
Red wine sauce with mushrooms over steak. Be flamboyant (not gay)....toss stuff around and make flames when you pour the wine......(Please have a fire extinguisher at hand before you attempt)......look like you know what you are doing. Chicks dig it. And if you are a chick.....you showed up, that's good enough.

Ingredients:
Your choice of steak. Please, don't even bother if you are going to use a round steak. Shame on you, go back to the store you dumbass. Get something with good marbling. T-Bone is a pretty good bovine morsel. Salt and pepper both sides. Yeah, that's all. If you are grilling, please stop here and go to the grill and disregard the rest of this post*.

2 pats Butter/margarine
2 cloves garlic chopped
small package of fresh mushrooms cut in quarters
salt (kosher is best) and pepper (fresh ground) to taste
half cup of red wine (no skrew top, no rose', and no, Garden Deluxe is not a wine) Burgundy is excellent
2 tablespoons flour


Directions:
Let's say we have two t-bones.

Heat a non non-stick skillet (sorry Carmen) on High and add about 2 tablespoons of veg. oil to coat the bottom of pan (it will smoke a little) then add the steaks and do not touch them for at least one minute and sear the other side the same way. Cover, reduce to medium heat, and heat to desired doneness. 140F med rare but no more than that. Pink, Ohhhhh yeeeaaaahh.
Remove steaks and let rest under some foil.
Your pan should have some cooked on debris. That's good. Add some butter and add the mushrooms and toss around occasionally for about a minute and a half. Add the garlic and cook for about another minute and then add the red wine and bring to a simmer and reduce to about 2/3 and all the alcohol is cooked out. Don't be bummed there's still more in the bottle. Add a little of the flour to thicken. Add water to thin if you need to. Use a wisk to get out the lumps and remove from the heat. It's essentially a wine gravy with mushrooms in it. Pour over or next to the steak.

I like to serve this with saute'ed asparagas spears sprinkled with a little parmasean cheese.

Try this for Valentine's Day or anyday.

Number Of Servings:2

Preparation Time:20 min

*Grill to 140F, turn only ONCE at about 4min per side.

Disclaimer: I am not a gourmet, I just blog that way. Hey, turn around and check the steak!!!

PLEASE HAVE A SAFE AND FUN MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! PLEASE, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

Here's another movie

I'm watching The Good, The Bad and The Ugly right now. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. Even Hollywood goes to Espana!

Y'know, Metallica picked a kick ass intro theme with the Ecstacy of Gold. God I love this song, it's cool with Tuco running through the grave yard at the end. It couldn't end any better.

Rock on my good people.

The Da Vinci Code is only a MOVIE!!!

It's only a movie, you dumbasses. Geez. I'm not targeting my non-dumbass readers, just the dumbass ones.

Does it change the way you feel about Jesus? Does it make you feel like you should follow Brigham Young, Muhammed, Dave Koresh, or Ron L. Hubbard? Should you buy a purple sweat suit and drink some Jesus Juice and wait for the Mother Ship in the next comet? Huh? IT'S A FUCKIN' MOVIE!!! It's shown in the same fuckin' place that I saw The Terminator!!! Sheesh, check your faith you stupid dumbasses.......really, it's a filling of truth wrapped in a tortilla of bullshit just like a good burrito!!! What would Jesus do? He would get a big bucket of popcorn and a bigass Coca-Cola, got comfy and watched an everyday film from Hollywood.

Lighten up folks. Remember the bible was written, not by divine hand, but by men who may have only want to tell you what they want to convey to you. Be it truth or not.

Rock on my good people and GOD BLESS!!!

Sometimes neighbors suck ass

I have no idea what the deal is but I cannot figure it out. My neighbors across the street have some problem with everybody that lives around them. It's been a couple of months since they moved in and they are the third owners of this house. Normally, if I lived in an apartment I wouldn't really give a shit but these folks LIVE, NOT STAY across the street. And, no, it's not a white vs. Indian thing, I can't play that game anymore. As you've figured, I've been asked that alot. Well, anyway...lately, it's been getting worse.

At first, when they first moved in, I said hello as much as I could and I thought that they just didn't hear me. But, one evening I said 'Hello!' loudly when the gal was out having a smoke in her garage. Nothing...she dowsed the smoke and vanished. I thought, "do I oh fend?" Nope, it seems that the other neighbors share my feelings. When they come out, taking out the trash or whatever, the wifey chick gathers her flock and crushes her coals and scurries into her burrow.

Now, the dude of said burrow seems to be ok, but I get a reluctant neighborly wave. What was weird about him was one morning while I was tooling around in my garage, I felt a nudge at the back of my knees and found that their Rot puppy came over to me to cure his curiosity and get some attention. What a cool dog but he's one of those breeds that is so inbred that hip diplasia is inevitable. Indeed he was narrow hipped and thick headed. Well, anyway, his kid came across the street and hid behind my truck.....yeah, hid behind my truck......I said, "I'm on the other side" and then I saw the dude come over. He approached me and I said, "hey, cool dog", and he said, "sorry, sorry man". I was cool with everything, no harm done. I introduced myself and he told me his name and he too scrurried away as if I was going to scream bloody murder. You could have imagined my look as I saw them disappear into the house and the garage immediate shut.

Wow.

Between then and now, my family and I hang out in the front yard because we have planted flowers and some herbs (oh yeah, they're growing fine), playing on the grass, drawing on the driveway, riding bikes, and reading on the porch bench...if they're out there, they run and hide or only she comes out to the garage and closes it half way so she cannot see us while she chokes on another cancer stick.

What gets me is when my Boogah calls out at the top of her lungs, "HI!", she get's no answer but a quickly closed door. That bugs me because I taught her to be friendly to your neighbors because they shouldn't be strangers. They're neighbors. People who you can go to for help and a friendly smile as neighbors should.

Well, not from these folks.

Last weekend they threw a party. They've had parties before but this one was way too crazy because it lasted into the almost 'waking' hours with loud rap music and 4 wheelers running up and down the street. I was pissed and I should have called the police. I should have. But I fuckin didn't. This kind of event shouldn't happen. Not in suburbia, but it did happen. If there is a next time, I won't allow it to go on. It's too late for, "howdy neighbor". I've tried. I've lived in worse neighborhoods of Shiprock and Window Rock and am ready for anything.

Believe me, I'm a kick ass neighbor. If you need a cup of sugar or help to move a couch or needing an answer to 16 across...I'm there baby. I'll even bring lemonade and beer. If you're wondering why I should care in any amount........it affects the attitude of the neighborhood and ultimately the value of our homes. I live there! Riff raff brings the good man down. Navajos know it. If you get bad vibes at a ceremony, it takes away from the necessary healing.

Bleh, so anyway, I've been the friendliest neighbor that they will ever get! Since it's been warm...I've been out side jammin' the tunes and being as visible as possible. My other neighbors are cool and found it to relieve the stress of the "shitty neighbor" ailment. "Fuck 'em" is my motto, but I have to "Fuck 'em" with a smile.

Rock on my good people. Be good.

More to come.

Hickie Prevention 101

This is to all of you partaking in the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow festivities. You know who you are. Beware the chile seed!
Mad Sci

-The scientific term for "hickeys" is ecchymosis from the Greek "ek" for out and "khumos" for juice, in other words to suck the juice out of your neck or more medically speaking to extravasate blood. Indeed a hickey is nothing else than a bruise! Bruises are caused by ruptures of capillary blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue. The extravasated blood pools into the surrounding tissues and cause the typical purple/red discoloration of the skin. The breaking of the blood vessels may be caused by a variety of physical abuses to the skin (bumping into an object, falling, strangling, etc...) but in the case of hickeys, the damage is created by the vacuum applied to the neck or other parts of the body by the lips and mouth of the hickey donor.
Note that hickeys are more likely to occur in areas where the skin is thin (and hence capillaries are closer to the surface) such as the neck or medial aspect of the arm or the abdomen. Areas such as the back or thighs benefit from a thicker epidermis and hence are much less susceptible to vacuum-caused ecchymoses.-

So, you woke up with silver dollar sized purple hickies that hurt like a bitch. You dumbass. He or she had better been worth it. Getting rid of them is a problem and you are trying to figure out how to remedy this badge of stupidity, especially if your significant other was not the one who gave it to you or if you are trying to hide them from your mom. If you like hickies, then this blog is not for you. You freak.

Dispite what you hear, there is no remedy to get rid of a hickie except for time. If there is one, the science community has not seen it.

Now, if you want to prevent a hickie, this blog can help you. Here is the *top 10 ways of preventing a hickie. Please, heed to every word...

1. Stay home.
2. Go to church.
3. Don't wash your neck for a week before your night out.
4. Don't look up, that's just inviting a hickie opportunist.
5. Pick your nose when making out.
6. Eat garlic before getting hot and heavy.
7. Fart during getting hot and heavy, that turns off everything.
8. Dowse your neck with Habanero pepper sauce.
9. Wear a spiked dog collar.
10. Wrap your neck with duct tape.

*For neck area only.
** May experience side effects such as being called "Stinky Neck", public embarrassment, no second date, pepper burns, chafing, and a hairless neck.

It's up to you to say Hickie No Mas.

Flash back

A few days ago I was asked to deliver a proposal for my firm to a school close to Ganado, AZ. At first, I thought I wasn't the best person to do this very lengthy but simple task because I'm sure there were some cheeper drones to skitter across the northeastern Arizona desert and do such a simple deed, but I'm glad I went.

To get to Ganado from Albuquerque, you would have to go on U.S. 264 through Window Rock, AZ, the place I called home from 1st grade to highschool graduation. It was like I never left the place, it felt like 12 years ago when I was last there. Oh yeah I've been back there since but not with such freedom to really check out the old stomping grounds. It was almost like time stood still for me to return. Weird, huh.

Except, where did the fuckin' Denny's come from? Where did Tullers go?

I got up later than usual but the coffee was still hot. Karen always made it just right for me before she left to work.
She taught 5th grade at Naschitti Elementary School, not far from where we lived. Yeah, I've all ready taken the long trek to Alfred Station, New York, and I learned how she had grown up with 4 sisters in the rolling hills of western New York. It was a three days tour to the state of New York by way of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where her eldest sister lived.
I turned on the television at about 8:30am and what I saw on was confusing at first because all I saw was something that look like a movie set. There was a lot of smoke and there was rubble and the people. The people were crying, shouting, and wondering. The anchor came on at that time and announced that there was an explosion of a bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Downtown Oklahoma City. All I could think about was that my sister-in-law lived there and pretty close to down town. The first thing that I thought about was to call my mother-in-law to see if she had received a call from Theresa. She hadn't. I ran to the school and told Karen. There was nothing we could do, but wait for her. The rest of the day just sucked. I was glued to the tv. I couldn't do anything. By this time, they start looking for bodies and survivors. Later on, we got a call from Mom that Theresa was OK. She was OK. She was a couple of miles away. Still it was too close.
I cried that night. How could anybody do such an act? How? Pure evil. Human nature. It's known that we'll end our existence. This was only a start.
I'm not sure this will end. There will always be war in one form or another as long as there are humans. What do you think?

Women Want Me, Fish Fear Me
Originally uploaded by jaecee.

Wow, it's been a year. I started blogging to get over the hum-drum dog days of spring. In years before moving to the city, I would be fishing when ever I had the chance. Any chance. I used to work in Farmington when when we lived in Shiprock so hitting Morgan lake on the way to work or after work was a given. I'd be there trying to sweet talk a chubby big mouth into slurping up on of my juicy Zoom U-tales. I alway felt it was a calling that came at an inopportune time. Really, I felt like I could be ready to enter and win some bass fishing tournaments and eventually you would have seen me on ESPN 2 (the only brown guy in a bass boat). Well, I just didn't have the means of taking on that endeavor. I coulda been a contenda.

So I put together a blog. What a change, huh.

It's been fun. It's been a chore. I've pissed off a few people. I've made people laugh and cry. Some times I felt like I put out more than I should have and other times I felt like I should have typed until my pinkies bled. I appreciate all the output of my readers. Thank you all.

Well, since I'm on vacation....I should take a day out at Tingley Beach.

Rock on my good people.

Happy Birthday Mayia

My much missed little girl turns 16 today. I hope you are doin well and that you are happy. I love you.

Dad

When I was 16

I got my license to drive when I was 16. I flunked the written and driving test the first time around but later came back and passed it. I was legally allowed to take control of an internal combustion engine powered 1.7 ton motorized 4 wheeled vehicle on any street in this country and any other country of the world that recognizes it. Again, I was only 16 and a sophomore in highschool and still I watched Tom and Jerry whenever I had the chance. I still had Star Wars action figures and comic books. I rode my bike where ever I had to go even though I did have my license. I'd rather play football than talk on the phone. I'd play games with my friends until the sun went down. I'd oil my mitt as often as I could. When I was 16.

My eldest daughter is 16 on the 23rd.

I wonder how she is doing and I hope she is happy as I was when I was 16. I really do hope so. I hope she's working on getting her license and I hope she's keeping at least one foot in the sandbox. She's sixteen.

Ain't it a Glorious day? All was right in the world, birds singing, sky is blue, wind was blowing, I had a a good day at work and I was actually nice to old people and small animals until I went to Wal-Mart. Let me put you in my shoes for this adventure.
At first you are thinking about shopping for the stuff you need and the only place to get that stuff is Wal-Mart. It's generally cheap, you can probably find it cheaper but you also need a jug of milk, fishing line, Moosehead, a box of crayons for the kids, and a pack of scibbies and driving all over the city would be much to expensive and time consuming. Wal-Mart = Convenience = Bullshit. Do the math. Anyway, the parking sucks because it's all backed up because some lazy dumbass wants to wait for the dude whose putting his recently bought shit in his car which happens to be close to the store front. You bite the bullet take the long walk to the store and then you are encountered by the super-Christian that wants to pray with you in middle of the fuckin' parking lot because you look like a super-heathen or you look like you can spare a few bucks, whatever. Next you grab a cart, the only one left and the damned thing has a busted wheel and a used diaper in it. Finally you get one, and it looks clean but it shakes and pulls to the right. Screw it, it's going to have to do. You look over at the cashiers, all clear, this should not take long. You reach into your pocket for your list..................................you forgot the list. At this point, you're cussing out loud and you flip-off a little kid who seems to find you amusing. It takes you 2 full hours to find all the stuff you thought you needed so much...now all your cart contains just a 30 pack of cheap yellow beer and the pack of scibbies because after this experience, that's really all you need. You're almost done. You get up to the front of the store to check out along with everybody else....and you happened to be behind a big fat lady with all her screaming kids and she's wearing the old lady perfume, y'know the rose smellin' kind, and she wants to pay with a fuckin' check. A CHECK! Now you are out of the store. All you want to do is drive home and veg with the fam. But no, there is a big redneck truck parked 12 inches from your car door. There is no justice. So you put everything in and you just want to key the insensitive prick's glossy finish and the dude comes back before you can exact the justice you so deserve. He gets in his truck and he just sits there....talking on his cell phone. Ok, you have no choice, you then halfway climb over your gear shift and then the asshole now decides to leave. You get out and get to the driver's side door and the super-Christian is back. All you can do is sneer and tell him to fuck off or you'll send him to Jesus sooner than he wants to. You get in and then you find out that you are low on gas and there's gum on your shoes and your awsome day now sucks. Can you relate? There should be a counseling center for Wal-Mart customers or at least a bar and strip-club.

4 things about me

Some times I like getting tagged by these and I feel that I should elaborate a little more about it because it just seems like I'm filling out a junior highschool survey to be posted in a yearbook. So, I'm gonna give you a little of the "why"'s in my world.

4 jobs I've had in my life:
1 - When I was about 12 I used to deliver the Gallup Independent in my neighborhood. I was given plenty of cookies and Kool-Aid and was bitten by only one dog but chased by many. I wanted this job because I could buy my own music down at the Fed-Mart.
2 - Later in high school I worked at the Navajo Nation Inn where I met HER. My life was never boring after that. I hope she's doing well somewhere...else.
3 - After my first stint at NAU, I was a Navajo Nation Firefighter. I loved it but I had to leave because there were just too many people not buckling in their kids and just too many flying through windshields.
4 - Before returning to NAU, I was in retail sales at various stores Radio Shack, FootAction, and Sears were I bought all I could under the kick ass employee discount.

4 movies I can watch over and over again:
1 - Dumb and Dumber - because it's dumb
2 - The Big Lebowski - I want to be the Dude
3 - Super Troopers - If I were a cop, I'd want to be one of these guys
4 - There's Something about Mary - Franks and beans! This show was just funny as hell

4 places I have lived:
1 - Window Rock and Fort Defiance, AZ (k-12)
2 - Flagstaff, AZ (attending NAU)
3 - Shiprock (pronounced Shibrock), NM (my wife was a teacher there)
4 - Albuquerque/Rio Rancho, NM (got my degree and now living in suburbia)

4 TV shows I love to watch:
1 - All the frickin CSI shows (the babes)
2 - Iron Chef (I think I could be a contender)
3 - COPS in Albuquerque, NM (Albuquerque criminals are funny to watch)
4 - My Name is Earl (I've got a list too)

4 places I have been on vacation:
1 - Alfred Staion, NY (Where my wife is from)
2 - Cleveland, OH (Cleveland Indians vs. Detroit Tigers)
3 - Springfield, MO (Bass Pro Shops baby!)
4 - Durango, C0 (walking on Mainstreet eating at Steam Works!)

4 websites I visit daily:
1 - 94 Rock for daily nonesense
2 - My Family for my high school buddies
3 - KOBTV for the News
4 - Poll Star for the shows

4 favorite foods:
1 - Three River's Drunken Steak Sandwich
2 - Spam and potatoes with green chile on my Nali's tortilla
3 - all edible parts of a dead cow, especially the porterhouse cut steak. Dead cows are delicious
4 - California mix veggies

4 places I'd rather be right now:
1 - Fishing at Morgan Lake because I miss it
2 - Fishing at Table Rock because I never have
3 - Fishing at the San Juan quality waters because I rarely do
4 - Fishing with my father in law because I never can again

I have to add something of my or else this feels like homework

4 simple pleasures:
1 - a good workout
2 - cold ass beer on a hot ass day
3 - a wetline and a steady drag
4 - hotdogs at 'Topes stadium

4 people I'll tag with this list of questions meme:
1 - B
2 - Keyeew
3 - Kevin
4 - Bella

I've got to add another

5 - Commodity Cheese

Chia Blog

Ch-ch-ch-Chia! I just planted my Christmas present this past weekend. Oh yes, I got a Chia Herb Garden. The Boogah and I planted dill, basil, marjoram, and parsley in my kitchen. It's barrels of fun and excitement, let me tell you! Ah well, I'm going to have fun cooking with them. Between now and then I have to answer the questions of "where's the plants?", and, "when is it going to grow?", and, "can I put more water on it?", and, "is it dead?", and "Dad, I think you're doing it wrong".

I remember when I was a kid when those Chia Pet commercials in tandem with The Clapper ads would be playing on tv just before Christmas and I always wanted one. Ch-ch-ch-Chia! Now I have one and I'm kick ass on it.

Engineer's Week

Today I found out that it was National Engineer's Week. It's Friday and I missed the parade and carnival and presents. I must have not received the memo. :)

Can I claim a sheepdog as a dependent on my taxes?

Back to Normal?

Well my good people...football season is over. Sweet, sweet success this time after 26 years of waiting. The Pittsburgh Steelers are World Champions for the 5th time and truthfully. Chump-asses like Seahawks fans and Chad ("Chad"?) Johnson, and all the lame nay-sayers.....BLACK AND GOLD IS FOR REAL AND THEY BELONG THERE, YOU DON'T. My little Kaitie said it with confidence..."they'll win again." Seeing Franco Harris flinging the Terrible Towel...classic...priceless.

Hopefully, things will get back to normal. I'm glad that I have some free time to blog some goofy babble...ha ha!!!

Hope you all had a kick ass SUPERBOWL !!!

Now, the long wait begins...really, I don't watch anything else......basketball? nah...baseball is lame on tv...WNBA? huh?...hockey? nope....Arena Football? hell no. This is the reason I started blogging.

Thanks to those that showed up for CURLEYBOWL VII, I hope you had a good time.

The President is here...of the U.S.A. ...down the street ... Really. I'm serious. I'm not Joshing.

Wow, this really puts Albuquerque and New Mexico on the map. The most powerful man on the earth, this planet, is here in the Albuquerque metro area to visit Intel in Rio Rancho. Well, anyway I thought that was a cool thing to blog about. I'm not sure where to go with that.

Well anyway, I heard that the prez was a closet STEELERS fan. It really doesn't make sense to me because of him being a Tejas resident. What...ever. Rock on my fellow Americans.

GO STEELERS!!!
GO SCOUTS!!!
GO JACKS!!!
GO FAT MAN WALKING!!!

Punxutawney Phil is a STEELERS fan!!!

Hello, My name is Jerome and I'm ...a...a...a Steelers Fan

I'm a couch pimple in these times of the year...especially when the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs. I'm just sitting there festering , all red and angry, waiting to explode with black and gold joy. I have always been this way and I guess it's part of my upbringing. Really, either you were a pussy Cowboys fan or you were a Steel Curtain fan......I chose the latter. That's all I know how to be.

I remember when I was a kid in Window Rock, my folks would get us all in the family Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and take the journey to my uncle's house in Fort Defiance to watch Sunday football. Yes, this day was fullfilled with the loudest cussing and drinking that the twin cities have ever seen. As I recall, my uncle's single wide trailer was kept at a balmy 85 degrees and filled with the aroma of hocks and beans with a splash of frybread crispyness...Bluebird Bah ala love, if you will, with a hint of Coors Light. Those were the days.

Well, the day ended with Black and Gold triumph in those days of Superbowl IX, X, XIII, and XIV...yes, a Steelers fan has been born and nurtured by the site of Jack Lambert and Franco Harris. In my later years playing at Window Rock High School, I wanted to wear the number 32 but some greedy dumdass nobody stole the jersey from the quanset hut at Judd Avey Memorial Field so I wore number 30...Stole my thunder.

You see my baby girls up there in the picture, although they'd rather be watching Dora the Explorer or drooling, deep inside, they are fans of the Black and Gold. Ha ha. It's always nice to hear my Boogah shout, "go Steelers!" Anyway, I hope to get back on the blog train as soon as I can. Between now and then, I'm a football freak.

GO SCOUTS!!!

GO STEELERS!!!!

Hey, who's your NFL team? Band wagon fans, please do not respond.

It always gets better

I hope things start to feel normal again. This Christmas season was very soul enriching but it was too very taxing on the emotions. Ah, it's always good to see my mom and my grandmother.....smelling and eating a pile of grandma's tortillas are always especially good. It makes me try to remember how my Nali's tortillas tasted...oh yeah, I remember. Ha ha. I recall one time at a Nakai Dine'e family reunion I had won the fried bread contest and I think it was that she was one of the judges. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Hee hee.

Well, it was good to see my dad and my brother. My dad seem to be in good health but seemed to be still rather lonely since I left to live and working in Albuquerque. Hopefully it a few years I will earn my Professional Engineer's license and move back to the Farmington area, I really miss being able to go home and for my dad to come and visit his granddaughters. I know he was at his happiest when he was able to do this. I've got a year and a half before I'm eligible for the P.E. exam so hopefully it will be sooner than later. I do wish we could stay here in the Albuquerque area but my folks are getting to that age where I should be around for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About a month ago I sold my little Toyota truck. I was kind of reluctant to part ways with it because it took me back and forth from Shiprock to Flagstaff while earning my degree at NAU. It was like a loyal horse. Oh well, I wasn't driving it at all, couldn't fit two carseats in it (two seater), and, plus, a stack of dead presidents made it kind of easy. An awesome Christmas morning was well worth it. Oh yeah, I'll be tripping over a buttload of My Little Ponies and Polly Pockets for a while. It all went pretty well and every body was happy with what they got and I was way happy I was able to give a little bit.



Oh yeah, I had to take care of my self too. Now my other truck goes VVRRRROOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!! Ha ha. Twice Pipes, Baby!!!

One of the best parts of the whole season was to see my mom's excitement to get new lighting in her home. For years, she lived with some shitty floresent lights in her kitchen. She saw what I had done in my own kitchen so I thought that would be a good gift for her on Christmas.




As a kind of a poor kid growing up, this Christmas was one of the better ones despite some underlying problems. Really, being able to give instead of receiving is way better. I hope you all had a kick ass Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
