One year of bloggulating spew

Women Want Me, Fish Fear Me

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.

Have you ever got to the register and you find that you don't have your wallet?

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)

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:
