Hey guys! I know, I know, it's been a while since I posted anything. I've been so busy and get out and shedding some more of my flabbage. Hey, 50 lbs so far...I've been a walking and golfing fool! So far this summer, I've broken 90 about 3 times with a all time good score of 83 at UNM North Golf Course! Right now, I'm nursing a sore left wrist. A couple of weeks ago, I played in the WR Scouts Volleyball Benefit Golf Tournament in Grants and I dinged my wrist while pitching to the 18th green. I hit the shot fat and bang, my wrist has been a little sore. Next week I'll be playing in the UNM North Golf Club championship. I'm hoping I can place in this tournament because I know I can do it. Right now, my handicap is 17.4 so that'll help if I score close to 80. Anyway, I hope you all are doing well. I'll post some stuff real soon. Be good my people!

2010-04-26T09:55:00.001-06:00

I'm still here. Trying to figure out the comments stuff. I hope you are all doing well. -43lbs! Yay!

2010-01-19T13:25:00.002-07:00

Ok, Curley update. Now that the STEELERS aren't in the playoffs and their season is over, I can spit out a couple of lines for ya. Well, I cut 6 holes in my belt and I've filled 5 of them. I'm still walking the courses and actually shot an 88 back in October or November, I forget but I managed a couple of birdies and dang near aced a par 3 at Santa Ana GC. My knee is doing ok. I run and then later it aches after sitting too long so every now and then I have to get up and stretch. I'm also back in the gym.

Well, that's what's going on. I hope you guys are all doing well. Rock on my good people!

...up on blocks...at least for a little while.

2009-10-19T12:22:00.002-06:00

Well, I finished the 5k. Yay! Last week, I ran 3 miles so I knew I could do it. But last week, I didn't have the knee discomfort that I do now. I've never had knee problems, even though I was a catcher, wrestler, and running back in high school. I want to run a few more races...trying to get used to running long distances, I'm used to sprinting. I've got to take it easy and probably go back to walking for a bit.

rock on

I'm still alive. It's been a long hot summer and I got out and did as much as I could. Dang, I had to cut two more holes in my belt! Dropped 20 lbs since the end of June and have been the walking golf courses. I play much better too, haven't been above 100 but one time (yesterday). Getting a stroller for my clubs makes a lot of difference. I really don't miss the cart.

I hope you guys all had a good summer. I'll be posting more since it's getting cooler and football season is near! Go STEELERS!

P.S. I don't usually have the volume up when I post of visit my blog and I apologize for the music...I need to try to remember my password to that application site.

Anyway, well, I got rid of the monkey so everything is back to normal.

I played 18 holes on Sunday and walked the whole way. I've done this several times since I last blogged. The first time sucked ass way bad, I fell asleep while soaking my doggies. The last couple of times I really enjoyed it but I my golf game suffered alot because I was carrying my bag and was burnt during the back nine. So,this is what I did....I got a push-cart by Clicgear and it made a world of difference. I scored two birdies and a couple of pars and posted my best score ever.

95

I beat my average by about 15 strokes. I never thought I'd break a hundred this summer. I'm way happy.

Rock on my good people! Curley signing off.

I went golfing yesterday. Weatherman said that it was going to be pleasant and calm....when I got to the Twin Warriors Golf Club, it was chilly and was beyond breezy. I played anyway. I had a free pass so I wouldn't have played there because the green fees are way beyond the capacity of my wallet. I normally play at public courses where prices are a bit more affordable. TW is a resort golf course but is open to the public. The difference between a public course and a resort course is that at a resort course, the people come out and carry your bags for you, provide tees, markers, bottles of water,bag of warm-up balls, and you can play at your convenience and with whomever you want (they'll fit you in), tidy green course, beer is cheaper too, attendents clean your clubs and give you a ride your vehicle. At public courses, you have to haul all your shit with you to and from the parking lot, pack your own bag on the cart, pay for warm-up balls, and bribe the starter for a more desirable tee off time for twilight, stick you a arrogant or stinky play partner, pay inflated beer prices or smuggle in your own and try not to get caught.

Dang, I need to get rich soon. I do like resort courses.

This morning, I was getting ready for work. Went looking for my wallet and found it in the cargo shorts I wore yesterday for golf. I also found a big long rip from waste down to the bottom of left leg cuff. Could I have........?

I'm glad I didn't go into the casino.

Ever been needed? Ever been wanted? It's a question that has come up in my mind lately. I don't to be in a place where I'm not wanted nor do I want to be in a place that I'm needed.

I don't want to go to sleep because I feel that I could do so much more in the day if I didn't need to sleep. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning but I need to go to work.

I love golf because I want to play. If I needed to play golf, I'd probably hate it.

I want my friends to come over for the Superbowl. I wouldn't want to feel like I need them there.

My body needs oxygen, without it, my body dies.

I want mustard on my hotdog. I want onions on it sometimes. I don't need hotdogs.

I want you to want me in your life. I don't want you to feel like you need me.

Want and need. Two different definitions that are sometimes mistaken to be the same thing.

We had a good weekend. We went to the 6th Annual Pork 'N Brew Championships. I'm not sure why they call it the Pork 'N Brew because there was plenty of pork but no sign of Brew, well, except for the beer garden which served plain ol' Bud and such...no real fun in that. Well, anyway, we made our rounds taking the bbq samples as went along. Before we knew it we were full. Geez, we still had a bunch of bbq bucks to burn so we walked and walked and people watched. We went and sat for a beer and checked out the pig races before we went back in for the final round of barbeque. We tried all that we could but we were too dang full to go any further. We had a couple of bbq bucks left so luckily we found a stand with natives in there making fried bread with pulled pork. What a combo! After that, we went home and too a post bbq nap. Don'cha hate it when you get the bbq burps later? lol

Sunday was cool too and made me a little sad. Well, it was movie day. We packed up the kids and jumped into the truck. It still had the aroma of burned fire wood and dust. Just so happens, that the radio was dialed in to KTNN from Window Rock. Having all these senses filled made pull up some memories of my Nali's. My Nali's home always smelled of burned firewood and was kinda dusty. Tracked in mud always turned to dust. The radio tuned to the Navajo stations really made me remember both of them... as my Nali' Aszdaan would be weaving while listening to the Navajo Church ladies sing slightly off key and nasally on KNDN. I remember on my visits to her that she would cook up what ever she had with coffee and fresh tortillas... Man, I miss those tortillas. Even if it was Coronado Bologna thick sliced and pan fried with a green chile (or cayenne pepper)(commodity cheese would make it heavenly) on a fresh tortilla it was the best meal ever.

I think the only English word that my Nali' Hosteen knew was "shit". He was a character... and a good rancher. We used to go feed the cows during the winter time and my truck reminded me of those drives down to Two Grey Hills where we'd go to get a piece of peanut patty, y'know that big pink patty with peanuts in it, a six pack of Shasta Cola, and a piece of mutton for when we get back to the house. The drive down in the valley was always nice, we'd turn off and take a bumpy dirt road to where the cows hung out. My Nali' would honk the horn and then we'd bust up the bales of hay and then watched the cows come from miles around. Our brand was a backward C and pink ear tag. I'd try to chase off the others but a few managed to get a little.

I miss my Nali's.

What a good weekend. I spent it with my family.

Happy Randy Castillo Day.... well, a couple of days ago.

Well this February has been good I think I'm off to a good start for the year. First of all, the champs of champs are champions once again. Way to go Pittsburgh Steelers. Anyway, these couple of weeks since the Superbowl have been quite busy. I logged on close to 90 hours for the last two weeks. We had to work on a tight deadline. We almost got it done and again this morning I got handed a couple of design changes. More work is better than no work.

I took off on Friday and spent it with the Boogah. We had a Daddy and daughter day but later on we collected the Punkin and went to the McDonalds and then the park. I was beat. On Saturday, we went to the movies to watch "Bolt". What a good show. Man, I haven't been to the movies but three times since highschool. The first time was Jurassic Park III while my wife was pregnant with the Boogah. Geez, she was kicking hard during the exciting scenes. Maybe that's why she likes the Jurassic Park series so much. The movies. I remember going to the Window Rock Cinema every Friday and Saturday when I was a kid and at times when we can find a few bucks between us, I'd walk my little brother and sister to the movies on Sunday afternoon. Dang, the good old days when walking 3 miles without worrying about the undersirable weirdos that lurk around Window Rock now.

Well, on Sunday, we just straightened up the house and watched the Daytona 500. Geez, no football so what else is there? I don't even like basketball. Oh well, it was loud and my surround sound was rockin. I cooked an awesome seafood pasta dish....Lobster, shrimp, scallops, and mussels on fetuccini pasta with a tomato wine sauce. mmmmmm wish you were here...lol

rock on my good people!

New job, two new holes in my belt, improved golf game..... I welcome this upcoming year. A clean slate, shaking the Etcha-Sketch, reloading the operating system, flipping the pillow over to the cooler side....I've got to make some changes and I have to do things a little bit better. I hope you all are going to better your selves too. Rock on my good people.

I recently went to the doctor a couple of months ago for a physical exam because I hadn't had one in a while. I've always thought that I was in ok shape except for the last couple of years being at my new career and not being as physically mobile as I used to. In doing so, I knew I was a bit over weight. Dang, I payed a copay to have the doc to tell me what I already knew. Well, that's besides the actual point. I was a new patient so I had to fill out the entry questionaire and sign all the necessary papers. You know....."do you smoke?", "do you have heart diseases in your family history?", and "are you depressed?"....etc. I answered all of them as I felt they were true for my 37 year 100,000 mile check up. I said "yes" to depressed. Then I thought about it......yeah, I feel sad sometimes. Especially about stuff that happens back at home on the rez like my still recovering brother, long-lost daughter, high fuel prices, my absence of being close to home, and not knowing about city life. I guess to a physician this has an entirely different meaning. I don't think I'm that fucked up! Geez, I'm not still here because I hate the taste of gun metal. I like my life. Despite having a mortage, longer belt size, more grey hairs, and longing to wet a line at Morgan Lake, I'm having a good time and hopefully live long enough to see my great great grand kids.

Well, I said I was depressed a bit one time at an appointment. She said she would prescribe me a drug that will calm me down and be a little more level headed when I felt down and at the end of my rope. Ok, I said. Shouldn't have said that but I did. Well this drug is one that Ozzy's on. Maybe it'll make me a rock star! Hoping to feel better, nothing changed....so up went the dose after a month of treatment........................................................................................ I was a a complete mess. I felt like Ozzy. Jittery, spaced out, feeling disconnected, spazzy, feeling like I needed to be somewhere, thinking, "did I leave the clothes iron on?", sleepy, and sometimes pissy............................................................................................. and this shit is prescribed for depressed people?

I didn't realize that I had to dose down to come off of this shit too. So, I'm off of it now. Now I know I didn't need it because I feel just fine, except for one thing. When I dream, it's like a whole movie playing in my head like I was the playing the main role. Some are good, some aren't. Most feel too real. I dream like I TIVO'd it because when I become awake sometimes....it resumes where I left off when I go back to sleep. Freaky to me, really. I think that my prescription dislodged something in my brain.

Or am I really going nuts?

Oh yeah, GO STEELERS!!! GO SCOUTS!!!

On Oct 23, METALLICA rolled through town. What a show. Not one of their best shows but considering the venue, Tingley Coliseum, it was better than I expected them.

Just as my buddy Jonny said, they played through all their songs and played well. It was refreshing to hear the new stuff. I think of all albums, Death Magnetic is a close 3rd in my ranking of Metallica. First is still being Master of Puppets and then ....And Justice for All. Of the new stuff, I'm glad that they played all of my favorites.

My wife went with me and this is her second Metallica show. I think she's becoming a fan. Her kids thought it was cool that Mrs. Curley went to see Metallica.

Chalk up another year.

Oh My God........football is back. Black and Gold baby. They look good so far even with Roethlisberger ailing separated shoulder. The O-line looks awesome and Willie is free. This weekend is Philly. Geez, I wish that Dallas game was tie. I hate that gang of criminals.

Last weekend, I played 18 at Santa Ana Tamaya and Cheena links and I seemed to have sprained a ligment in my left elbow. I've rested a couple of days and haven't gone to the driving range. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to swing at a couple of balls because this weekend my brother may come up from White Sands. I really want to take advantage of this mild weather we've been having here.

My drives were killer. My shortgame still sucks.

Anyway.....this is what's going on.....

2008-09-05T15:16:00.002-06:00

I haven't been on lately because I reformatted my computer and reinstalled all the software because my machine was systematically getting slower and unstable. When I got it all done, I couldn't find the stupid code to get it back on the wireless network. What a pain.

I played Isleta golf course with my good neighbor last Saturday. I scored 100+ again but we had a good time. I struck the ball real good this time but my short game sucked ass. Well, like fishing, a bad day of golf is still way better than a good day at work.

The rest of the weekend was awesome too. I took the girls out to the Santo Domingo Pueblo Indian Market to get some soul back in our lives. We checked out the sites and goods but we really went for some good food. I got a roasted mutton sandwich which surprisingly came with a wedge of avocado, slice of watermelon, green onion, and a jalapeno, all on a puffy fried bread. mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmm. Karen got a Navajo Taco and the girls shared a fried bread. It was good to mingle with the natives a bit.

Metallica is coming back to town!!! Woo hoo!!! Lastnight I listened to the whole album online. Man, I think it sounds good. I got my tickets already and I have to work on my moshing skills. Rock on my good people.

Deck saga........part BLEH...

2008-08-18T12:58:00.004-06:00

Ok, so I got back on task with my deck. I finished the deck part of the deck but it's still essentially just a big wooden table aside of my pool. Next thing to do is to build the steps to lead up to the heavens of deckus maximus. I went down to the local Home Depot and got some 2"x12" to build stringers and some red wood 2"x6" for the steps. All was good until I started cutting the pressure treated lumber...dammit... my circular saw started to bind and wander thus f'ing up my 18 dollar stringer. Geez, I then dug out my old 10 inch circular saw.....same damned thing. Then I realized that the wood was saturated with the pressure treatment chemicals that when I started to cut the wood it would start to swell and clinch down on my blades. So, I had my old trusty hand saw... did the trick but my arms, back, and chest are hurting like a mofo today. I guess I had to start up my work out routine sometime. haha.

As for my doc appointment, I guess for my size I'm actually pretty healthy. BP is good, dang supermarket bp machines started to freak me out cuz I was getting outragous bp readings. I guess my guns that I developed last summer were too big for the machines. Haha. Blood sugar is normal. Cholesterol is elevated. Too many dead cows eaten this summer. The doc told me to eat vegetables and eat fruits..... man, that seems to be all I do eat. I loves me a good salad and steamed veggies. I don't even salt things or shlather them in sauces and goop. Docs never believe you though. All in all, it just seems that I should get off my ass more often. More juice and fewer brewskis. Bleh. Well, the girls are back in school, I can get back into a regular routine soon. We'll see.

the saga of my deck......

2008-08-15T11:05:00.002-06:00

Well, I got the deck part of the deck completed. I still have to attach a set of steps and the hand rails. One thing that I've found that I can peak in to other folks' yards and stuff easily. Reminds me of that King of Queens episode. What I think I'll be doing is tacking some outdoor shade material around the railing to add some privacy for my neighbors and also cut the wind. Sometimes it will be hot as hell but the wind keeps us inside so this wind break will hopefully add some more swimming days. I'll post some pics soon.

METALLICA at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM, October 23, 2008. I don't know about you but this venue takes me back to the Ozzy Osbourne/ Metallica Ultimate Sin Concert Tour of May 16, 1986. It rocked then and it should rock again now. I remember getting the beer cup from Cliff Burton. Styrofoam as it was, it went up on my shelf of fame in my bedroom. Then came the day my mom cleaned my room. Moms...they'll never understand.

2008-08-07T15:23:00.003-06:00

Somebody asked me, "why did you buy clubs that were so expensive?" Then followed by, "you aren't even that good."

My response was.... because I can.

I know I'm not that good at golf. Besides, having good equipment is important. You would never want to buy shitty tools to build a house. You'll always question the tools and not your skills. If you have good tools and the house don't have have one square angle on it, you're just a shitty golfer.

Isleta golf

2008-08-05T11:00:00.006-06:00

This past Saturday I played 18 holes at Isleta GC with my brother. Damn it was hot. I shot a 100+, won't discuss it, but it was a awesome course. I've never played there before and I think I'll be more of a regular because it is such a good facility. For 55 bucks it is a good deal. I'll probably try to get out there and try it again. Hopefully it'll be a little cooler and the beer cart girl is on task.

My new clubs did well. I got a new Callaway '06 460X 9deg Driver, 3W and 5W X fairway woods, 2H X Hybrid ( I might dump my 3i for good),and an Odyssey 2 ball putter. I should have taken my old putter before taking my new one because I just couldn't get good control of it. I just have to work on my strokes and stop thinking about golf and just play.

Dooda necessary evils...........

.....at the new Fire Rock Casino. Restricted booze and no smoking in a casino. Makes no sense. Really, who is the target demographic for this money making facility? Traditional Navajos, God-fearin folks, goody-two-shoes, average Joe, Boy Scouts? My money is on the endless army of blue-hairs sippin gin & tonics with the Marlboro calluses and oxygen tank. Geez, why get into this business if we're only going to filter out all the gambling mass? We're better off building a Chuck E. Cheese!

"As My Deck Turns....."

2008-07-21T22:11:00.003-06:00

Yep, I got the deck portion done. It took us a good hot friggin day to get it up. I chased my little girls out that day to pick up trash and scrap before they could play. Man, what a day. We really cleaned up our back yard.

As you can see, by the end of the day, the monsoon clouds rolled in. We got a few nourishing drops but it went away as quickly as it came.

In case you're wondering........

2008-07-14T21:13:00.007-06:00

I HAVEN'T DONE SHIT ON MY DECK! Part of it is laziness and part of it was that when it came time to work it was so friggin hot I'd rather jump in the pool than dork around it. Then came the monsoons.........during the week but not on the weekends so, I couldn't take a day off! Geez, I look tooo healthy today to take a sick day tomorrow. Dammit. Plus some other things have come up that have taken up my weekend hours...like the tri-tip exploration that has been happening in my backyard and the coucheth thateth hath calleth thy nameth. When the lord talketh....I listen. If lovin' the lord is wrong, I don't want to be right!!

What ever you do to a tri-tip, just cook it to 140 deg and it will slather your tastebuds with naughty beef love.

My deck will happen. I need to cannibalize another part of my yard for materials. Plus, lately, it's been real cool out so it'll be nice out to cut wood and drive screws. Stay tuned.

4th of July peeve.....

2008-07-04T23:56:00.003-06:00

While I was looking at condiments in the condiments aisle of the local Wal-Mart to put on my hotdog I hear this...."grab a jar of MANnaise"....dammit, there's a friggin "Y" in mayonnaise! Say, MAYOnnaise. After me, mayo-nnaise. Geez, speak right you moron. And you dumbasses that say, "aks" when you are ASKing a question, you are in the moron group too. If you ask me, "fer reeell", yep, you are a cranially simple.

2008-07-01T12:26:00.002-06:00

I see red. d3cksedotua better get their shit together before I go postal. Bleh. Oh well, I'm cool. Just a glitch in my personal matrix. Overall, I'm glad I'm a live and being able to do the evil things I do. haha.

Well, my deck is coming along ok. Since it's going to be high up, 50", I have to brace the posts under it so it won't be wobbly while we're on it. So, what that means is more material to purchase. It's going to be awesome when I get it all finished. We also got a new set of steps where it attaches to the deck so it'll be easier to get in and out of the pool. It's also a nice place to sit if you just want to gradually submerge. Wow, this summer is going by quickly. I want to get as much swimming with the girls as we can but the monsoons will be coming soon. I love the rain but when I want to take a dip it kinda dampens the whole event. Pun intended.

Fourth of July is Friday... geez, it came early. I'm going to try to cook something new this weekend. A tri-tip cut of beef. From what I've heard from my brother and research that it's a tasty piece of meat. Dang, I wish my back yard was finished, I wanted to invite a few folks over for a bbq and suds.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna make your team their bitch! Bring it Clown Browns, Kittycat Bengals, and Lame-ass Ravens! AFC North Champs again...

...........................or SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!! Bring it on BITCHES.

2008-06-25T14:04:00.002-06:00

Adjusted the deck so it is level on all four sides. It looks way better now. I'm sure when I replace the boards that I took off they won't line up.

2008-06-24T10:57:00.005-06:00

Well, I got my deck moved but not reassembled. It should take me a couple of days of work. Here a few pics of what was accomplished.

Started dismantling the 8X8 portion of the deck by the back slider door.

The Boogah inspecting the operation and not liking what she sees. We don't need no stinking permits!!

Dismantled the other 8X8 portion of the deck. Lizards scrambling everywhere!

Putting up first 8X8.

Checking for level....damned thing still leans. It never fails for me. I measure twice and cut once but it never comes out right. Haha.

I'd like to add a wooden fence around it for added protection and also the blue color is way gaudy. On the far end we are going to add a solar heater and make it useful earlier and later.

Yeah, my backyard is starting to take shape. We still have a lot to do like add a patio where the deck used to be and plant some trees. We're at odds about what to cover the rest of the yard. Karen wants grass and I wanted a synthetic putting green. I'm bigger than her, I can win this. Haha.

I was supposed to play in a golf tournament this weekend in Angel Fire but that idea fizzled when we had to buy a new motor for down stairs swamp coolers. Karen is relieved that I'm not playing this weekend and she thinks she's putting me to work...haha. Geez, I can't wait until this weekend... I actually get to break out my power tools and make noise. Yaay.

Glory Days Moment......I remember as a kid during the summer we would be in some summer recreation program at Window Rock Elementary School and we would take trips to the pool in Navajo, NM. I used to be able to swim under water from end to end. Those were some fun times.

2008-06-17T13:52:00.001-06:00

I went and visited my dad this past weekend. We had a good time and it was good to be back on the ranch. My dad asked me when was the last time I was there and I had no idea. It was just too long.

Here are a couple of pictures I took of the landscape around my home. Times have indeed changed but the landscape will be the same long after I'm gone. I remember looking at these features with my young eyes and it still looks the same now as it did then.

It took a lot of time and questions to be answered but he is here and I couldn't ask for anything more. Life is too short for me to be angry and especially for him to be reminded of his absence. He's here now. He loves his grandkids and he tries his best to spoil them as best as he can.

He's my dad.

I'm going home to visit my dad and grill up some t-bones for him. Funny thing, a couple of years ago he came to our home for Father's Day and I plated him up with a chubby t-bone and he told me he had never had that kind of steak before. All those years of ranching and all he's had was round steak. Haha. I got him a new radio, a new flashlight, gloves, deck of cards, and and a roll of Skoal. Of course we loaded up his pantry with some tasty vittles and several cases of sodas. We'll probably do the same this weekend with a little extra...he's easily pleased. The girls are going to get a kick out of visiting him and the farm.

Have a Happy Father's Day my good people! Be safe.

P.S. Do something special for the old man..... a tie and the big piece of chicken just don't cut it. Maybe a new NFL Licensed Pittsburgh Steelers Odyssey 2 ball putter. :p

Yay, my stupid, pain in the ass, hill billy neighbors moved away! Geez, it's been great since they left. No more of the late night parties and police visits!

Believe me, good riddence. Don't get me wrong, It takes a lot to piss me off. Those folks were a red rash for all the folks in the neighborhood. The mister was cool at times but he had a temper and when he got hammered he run his motorcycles up and down the street in the middle of the friggin night. His wife was a work of art Marlboro huffing skank that would walk over you if you were bleeding on the sidewalk just to get her mail.

The word in the hood is that the house might be cursed because the last three owners were all tweaked in the head. #1. Wife left man for another woman. #2. 30yr old dude with a 50+ yr old wife that would have regular drive deliveries, wink wink. #3. The formentioned gang of dumbasses.Bleh.

I hope some cool ass people move in. Sane ones. Kind folks. Somebody you can borrow a cup of sugar from. I just hope it's a single family. I hope the mister golfs. Wouldn't that be cool.

Pork Ribs, Rubber Jerky, and Rock'N'Roll

2008-06-04T10:43:00.005-06:00

I went home to Two Grey Hills last week for Memorial Day. It was good to see the family and it was way good to see my ma'sani. Geez, it's been so long since I've laid eyes on the eastern Chuska range. The trees are green in the patches of aspen groves and oak thickets. I miss the days of herding sheep up the mountain and spending the summer months with my grand parents at the cabin. Mmmm...I remember tooling around while the sheep were grazing, sharing my lunch of Vienna sausages and crackers with the sheep dogs, and sipping a warm Shasta.

I grilled some baby backs with a spicy/sweet dry rub. (Emeril's Essense with some brown sugar). Man, my step dad had a field day ... I think he went through about 12 ribs. My aunt showed me up with some very juicy ribs but I had to point out that she cheated because she cooked hers in the oven. No flames, there's something wrong about that. I had a couple of ribs and a helping of potato salad and ducked out for some zzzz's. I needed it too because I went to see Iron Maiden the night before. Man, what a show. I've never seen them before and that is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Rock n Roll baby.

After we hung out with the family we had to leave. I was still tired a little but we had to start out our trek back to Rio Rancho. Geez, I hate being so far away from home. When we lived in Shiprock, it was only about a 45 min drive. Now, it's turned into a long 4 hour drive. But you have to live where the work is. So, we started out and after a painful fill up at the Newcomb Mustang we started south towards Gallup. I was cruising at the usually ludicrous speed of about 70 on old US 666, south by all means too, when I reached behind Karen's seat to fetch me a cool Gatorade in the cooler when BOOM....... Dang, my rear clinched and the steering wheel started to wiggle back and forth, good thing that I had a good grip on the wheel with my left. My right hand hit the back of the seat and I flung it around to gain control at the required 10 and 2 o'clock driving position. It's a good thing that I'm a ninja. Anyway, the left rear tire was instantly in shreds of rubber jerky and was almost ready to lose the bead and running on the rim. I pulled over and luckily it was on a good shoulder. Thank God it was still light out. The girls in the back seat, watching Dora and Boots, never felt a thing. :) I got out and changed the tire with the spare which had low tire pressure. Check your stuff people!! Everybody was safe. I said a prayer and moved onto Rio Rancho with out incident. It could have been worse.

It was still an awesome day out. It was worth the adventure.

Rez Golf

2008-05-14T12:30:00.008-06:00

Well, we did ok at the golf tournament. My brother was supposed to play with us but he couldn't make it so we were a little handicapped but we managed to sport a 62 for the day. Man, what a fun day. The golf tournament was for the Cochiti Braves baseball team. There were mostly natives playing which made it interesting when a couple of beers have been consumed. I think it made the white dudes kind of neverous to hear the 'yips'! and 'aye aye's!' calls when a team sunk a putt. Some of them were loud. Dang it was great.

That course is beautiful is nested in hills near Cochiti Pueblo. It was windy but it was fun to play. My putting was way on. I putted a 25 footer and we got and eagle but snubbed that with a lame-assed 5 foot bogey at the 18th. If we had made that hole, we would have tied for first. After the round, we had lunch and had a raffle. Boy, I wanted to win a Hooters calendar but with my luck I got nothing.

Alot of the Pueblos out here have a golf courses and the are all well staffed and get good business. Man, they have their shit together. With all that land out in Dinetah, I wish we could have one course where a sheepherder can play on a day off. Canyon De Chelly golf course? Window Rock Golf Resort? Navajo Links and Country Club? Geez, we are way behind in the biz of tourism. Oh well, we can just depend on Monument Vally horseback tours and Jeep trails in Canyon De Chelly I guess. Dang, no beer though.......forget it.

Whoa, I had every thing right...I was good all week, I made my bed, I kept my room clean, I was nice to my little brother and sister...Hell yeah, the Force was definately with me. Mom's going to take me and Alex to the show...Alex had better taken a wiz before we get seated, I'll be pissed if I miss anything good.

The movie was great, more than I expected. Too bad that Luke lost his hand and C3PO got blown up...and Han Solo...getting shrinkwrapped in carbonite like a damned T.V. dinner...coulda been worse.

As we walked out side of the Allen Theater, the sun was blinding and it was getting friggin' hot. Well, crap....Mom is runnin' late. We'll just stand here and mind our own business......mind my own business, Alex is starting to do dumb things and ask stupid questions and of course he's the only one on Main Street making light saber sound effects. Dangit, where is she?

My aunt, Verbena, picked us up. Hey, there's my baby sister. Ok, Ok, row row row yer boat.......All the way home.......

We took the turn off but what's with all these cars? Well, damn.......get moving you friggin' rubber neckers.........Hey Auntie, watch out for all that broken glass.....

There it was...Mom's car. Mangled and smashed beyond belief... groceries just scattered every where.....The car looked like a metal beast with all it's guts strewn about the cut slope. She was less than a mile from home.

MOM!!!!

I remember my big brother, Chuck, waving us forward...."get 'em out of here", he yelled... Auntie drove us home.

I cried for days.

That was 28 years ago. Mom is OK, and she has recovered from the injuries. She still has the scars where the Trans Am struck her door. Funny thing though, she has actually tatooed by the black colored fiber glass. Damned drunk driver.

Mom had my aunt pick us up from the movies because she knew we wouldn't like to go grocery shopping. We wouldn't have minded because we wanted to go get some Star Wars action figures. Something in her mind told her to leave us there at the movies. The Force? I'll never know. To this day, she still says that if it weren't for Star Wars we would have been killed in that crash. Well, in those days, seat belts were never used; we probably would have. The Empire Strikes Back is still my favorite and I think my mom is a Jedi. I wonder, if I ask, if she'll get me some Star Wars linens for Christmas.

I remember you..........

2008-05-02T12:37:00.006-06:00

I have to write something. Seems like everytime I go to my blog my brain stops working and I stare at this blank screen. I've got a lot of stuff stored up there that I should blog about but you know sometimes your fingers aren't in the mood to tickle the QWERTY board. This spring has been more than eventfull....

My new job has been cool. I do alot of grunt work that I should have been doing at my other job. I'm up to taking the P.E. (Professional Engineer)exam but I feel that I need to exercise my surviving brain cells before I take that test. I'm learning alot and I really like that. I'm actually doing some engineering instead of drafting all the time.

Getting back into a more humanly shape is still a daunting task. I'm still chugging along though. I was hoping to thud through the Shiprock Marathon relay but I think I'll have to bench that thought for a while. I'm planning on doing one of the runs during the Duke City Marathon events. There's always something going on here in the Rio Grande Valley. Oh well, we'll see.

My brother is back at home and seems to be doing a lot better. He still has some more healing to do before he can get back work.

My eldest daughter is graduating from high school this month. Geez, I haven't seen her in 15 years but we're trying to rekindle our relationship. It's difficult because we have to sort out the missing years. Her mom has a been really cool about it all and it's great that we managed to make up. We just wished we did it sooner. Better late than never I guess. Life is way to short to hold grudges and anger. Only time will tell.

I haven't been back home in about a year. These gas prices really suck ass. Hopefully I'll be able to get out to the rez for some of my grandma's homecooking. I miss seeing the stars and hearing the silence.

I've got a golf tournament next week. I haven't swung my clubs since the beginning of March. It's going to be fun though.

I went to Megadeth a couple of weeks ago and it was a great show. Watching Dave Mustaine throw guitars around on stage was awesome. There are a bunch of other shows that I want to catch this summer.

I'm alive. Sure beats trying to cross the border.

2008-03-03T13:03:00.002-07:00

I played golf on Saturday for the first time this year. I think I did very well but the sun went down before I could fill my card with 18 holes. On the front nine I finished with a 41 before I went in for a wiz and soda. I hope I can play more since I have a little more time this year.

There has been alot of things that are going through my brain lately. Mostly family stuff and then there is my personal well being. I'm trying to sort it out. I'm not sure if I'm ready to blog about it.

Oh well, I'll just keep on trucking.

.........Spring is close. Baseball season is almost upon us. Hockey season is underway. Basketball is basketballing as we speak. Actually, who really gives a shit. There is no football for the next 6 months. I can't believe it sometimes. I should take up a hobby...like writing.

You folks watch the Superbowl? What a lovely game that Superbowl XLII. Lovely indeed. Cheaters never win. Poetic justice is always sweet. I'm all about a team going on a perfect run but they were doing in all the wrong ways. Oh well. They'll get theirs.

Update

2008-02-03T07:31:00.000-07:00

My brother is coming home in the next couple of days. He's beat up a bit but he is doing fine. His work here on Earth is not done.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.

2008-01-29T21:39:00.000-07:00

Thank you all for your prayers and nice words. My brother is awake and seems to be recovering fine. Still not out of the woods yet though. Thank you again. It's good to know there are good people out there.

As I write this, my older brother is in intensive care in Denver because of this condition that is very avoidable. Please read.

Alcohol Acetaminophen Syndrome

Please pass it along. I love my brother very much and I don't want anybody to go through what my family and I are going through right now. For those that know my brother, Chuck, we appreciate all your thoughts and prayers and he can use every one of them. As for my brother's condition, his liver has suffered a great deal of damage and now we can only wait. God only knows.

Hug and tell your family that you love them.....every day.

CODE 7

2008-01-16T12:17:00.000-07:00

I just got done with lunch. Leftover top sirloin on whole wheat bread. Yeah, I'm a maniac like that. Dang, I wish I could shread it and put it on a hoagie roll and melt some cheese on it and then chase it with a nice warm Coke. Shasta or RC would suffice too. Dangit, I got some meat stuck in my teeth. I'll just try to pick it out with one of my business cards since I don't have any floss here at my office. Note to self: get floss for office.

In case you're wondering, I had to start over. I got lazy after I got canned back in November and plus Icouldn't really leave a 3 year old running around the house by herself because my equipment is in the garage. I know, excuses...excuses. I did manage to only win back a couple of the pounds that I shedded. Damned football sundays. Turkey day. Jesus made me do it too. My new clothes still fit...that's a good sign. It's back to push and pulling iron but I going to do alot more cardio than lifting this first part of the year because I really want to shed some pudge before I get back in the pool because the fatty chasers down the street are starting to be a menace, Karen's having to beat them off with a stick.... and also I'd really like to run in an organized event early in the summer. I was hoping for the Shiprock marathon relay but I think I have to take smaller baby steps before taking that event on. We'll see.

Oh well, lunch is over. Protein drink in 1 hour. Treadmill and chest this evening. Chicken breast dinner and cottage cheese. Asleep by 9 and do it all over again tomorrow.

Did somebody say Lotaburger? I'll buy if you fly!

Christmas cheer, the hard way

2008-01-08T12:10:00.001-07:00

The Friday before Christmas I drove to my girl's daycare in a blizzard for gifts which is kind of out of the way because I had to drive all the way into Albuquerque from Bernalillo and then back to Rio Rancho. The things you do for your kids huh. I got out of there quick before the snow really started to stick and before I could really say that it was a bad idea. After learning that I had been laid off from my job, the daycare "adopted" us even as I protested that we weren't that far into the gutter but they did anyway. They are awesome, geez, these people went way overboard but they felt that my girls were worth it. I don't know how to ever thank them enough.

As I drove home the sky started opening up over Rio Rancho and I forgot one of the laws of thermodynamics as there was no conservation of heat by the clouds so the ambient temperature began to drop as heat escaped into space, but I continued home without fail and backed into my drive way. I opened the door and put my weight down my left foot on the concrete which had a blanket of ice beads strewn about. I couldn't stop my self. My left foot went immediately under the driver door and under the truck. My left hand slid down the door and my right hand just gripped the bottom of the steering wheel. What to do. What a site. All I could do was allow my self to drop and, y'know, get up and dust off the embarrassment but no, it was way slick and after thudding on the cold concrete I continued to slide under the truck. All I could do was wedge my left knee under the front tire while I figure out how to get up. I layed there for a while and admired how dark blue the sky was and then noticed that the neighbors Christmas lights had just popped on. All those reindeer looking at me. I could only imagine what a spectacle I thought I was. Ha ha. Big brown dude stuck under his truck, in his drive way. Reminded me of my firefighting days in Window Rock where we'd have to check up on glaaniis sleeping under peoples vehicles. I thought...God, is this a sign? Should I stop being mean to stupid people? Should I invest? Is this what flounders see? Should I carpet the driveway? I hope the truck doesn't slide. That pigeon is eyeballing me. Ha ha. I dug for the only thing that could rescue me, my cell phone. I dialed. "Where are you, you're late," she said! "Karen!", gritting my teeth, "I need some help....", I said as she hung up the phone. She came out and looked in the truck and called for me. I said, "I'm under the truck...I've fallen and I can't get up!" All she could do was laugh. I couldn't stop for a while neither. So she literally had to drag me to a dry area that was a couple of feet away from the drivers side door. We unpacked and went inside. Moral of story, keep your cellphone on you and wear clean skivvies. You never know.

Did you save me a place?

2008-01-07T12:28:00.001-07:00

I'm back. Back when I said I was back, I wasn't back. But now, I am back. And pissed. Damned Steelers. My brother and I both sobbed uncontrollably for a moment and then we watched Ratatouille with the our girls. Yes, as has I, he's been blessed with girls. Karen and I are cut off from the baby making bizz so there won't be any Friday night lights like I hoped but I guess I'll get used to volleyball, ballet, basketball or something they may take up. They're getting bigger so I hope to get them into some kind of sport this summer. I can't wait to fill the pool again, this summer is going to be awesome. With my new job and all it's going to be easier to do things in the evenings with my babies while they are still babies.

Well, I've been back at work for 3 weeks and it is awesome. I'm actually doing some engineering and designing from inside out. I miss designing highways but I'll be doing stuff that is more along my career goal environmental engineering and some civil work. The people here are cool and I actually have more than one mentor that I can brain-pick at. For the next few months I'll be doing alot more studying because I'll be preparing for my professional engineer's license (P.E.). I can't wait to get that out of the way. Plus, it may mean more beso.

The last time I posted was way back in November and we've been ok since my lay off. I got to take a vacation and reflect and watch midday tv while sitting with Emie. We had a good time but it does get boring and I'm glad that I was able to get back to work. A man can only take so many tea parties. Sorry Emie, monsters did not steal the tea party set.

I wasn't able to get home like I wanted to for the holidays but it was nice to see people come out to see us. I smoked the hell out of a turkey for Thankgiving... dang, ya'll should have come by. I made a brine and let the bird soak for a day and I shlathered it with some homemade poultry seasoning and smoked it for about 6 hours. I've never had a more juicy tazhii in my hole life. I might do it again for the Super Bowl but we'll see, my brother wants to cook up something too but we're not sure. Maybe mutton. We might have too much food but for those that know me and those of you in the neighborhood, please let me know that you're around. You have a friend in Rio Rancho!

Shake it off

2007-11-25T21:09:00.000-07:00

I'm here. Still here. Fortunately for you, I will not go away easily. Ha ha. For those that don't know, my company had to cut my position. Yeah, just like that.... the feasibility of my position at the company has expired. My ass.

But new things have come to light... I was offered a new position! One of the best things about it is that I don't have to drive 80 miles a day!!

Thank you Veterans

2007-11-12T09:24:00.000-07:00

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you......... and Thank you.

It's here........ I think

2007-11-11T11:11:00.000-07:00

Wow, crazy things happen on this day...... could it be the end? Or, just the beginning? Or is it like pressing pause and the friggin movie resumes. I don't know. I haven't felt this way in a long time and this day of all days reminds me of what was before I am now. Yes, that was a time in my life that is dark.

Maybe I should don the blue jogging suit and drink the cool-aid and hop on that mothership that is hovering over my humble home..... or just be. I think I'll be. Rock on.

I didn't want to miss my next subsription of The Navajo Times anyway.

Oh dang, it was only a channel 4 helicopter.

In game 2 of the World Series, Jacoby Ellsbury was the first in the series to steal a base. As a promotion by Taco Bell, 90ft. To Free Tacos for America, everybody gets a free taco at Taco Bell between the hours of 2-5pm on 10/30/2007. I wish it was a Navajo Taco but I'll take it.

Not only that he takes care of his peeps back here in Dinetah, he's feeding every man, woman, and child in the U.S.A. Now that's classy.

Support your Native Bro.....cousin bro....or just cousin...or dat guy...#46...he's still your bro

Woo hoo. Jacoby Ellsbury is in the line up replacing Co Co Crisp for the Red Sox in the 2007 World Series. This is awesome. I wonder if he'll call a HR by pointing with his lips over the Green Monster. It's good to see raza make it big!!!

Some thoughts that make a SNC, in no particular order

2007-10-21T21:23:00.000-06:00

I like to eat parts of dead animals. People need to lighten up. Rapp is not music and Rock N Roll will never die. The Superbowl is another holiday. Mustard, relish, and onions makes a perfect hotdog. NAC is not Navajo Way but a Navajo's way can be NAC, not both. Carseats work, use them you dumbass. Bandwagon fans suck. I love the Steelers, even when they sucked. I hate needles. Fry Bread is prison food, really, know your history. You should take a drug test before you ask for welfare. If you want to be a person of color, from black, brown, red, yellow, to white, get born that way, don't be something you aren't. Not everybody should get good grades because somebody has to dig ditches. God loves us all....not just you. Leave Bigfoot alone! Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If you're gay, that's ok, just don't keep reminding me. There is no such thing as absolute free speech, well, unless you are totally anonymous. If you were arrested for something, you probably did it. Dead cows, dead chickens, dead pigs, and dead fish are delicious when they are prepared fresh. Breastfeeding, why is it an issue? There is no such thing as reverse discrimination, it's still descrimination. Spam, potatoes, green chili, huevos, and tortillas is a kick ass breakfast burrito. Designated Hitters ruin the game. I like fishing. A sports bra is not lingerie. Coke tastes better than Pepsi to me. Men live for women. Hate is learned. Love makes the world go around. This list may grow.

Today I became 36. I'm officially in the late mid thirties. I....I'm ok with it. Really... I'm a little late in my original scheme of LIFE but I am still going forward. I've got all my limbs....my sight...most of my hearing....I can still catch flies with my bare hands. I'm still good. 36? 26? 16?......it's all the same...what's a couple of prefix numbers... geez.

I haven't posted in a while. It's been a couple of stressful weeks. I got oriented with my new boss and my kickass neighbors moved away last week back to Ohio. We miss you Doug and Toni! Oh well, the Curleyworld rotates on and on.

The Steelers are doing good. 4-1 at this point and going in the bye week. It's all going good.

I took a couple of weeks off from lifting. No, I didn't quit. I was starting to get those little pains in the elbow tendons. It was a good two weeks of healing.

21 years without Cliff is a damned shame

2007-09-27T18:46:00.000-06:00

Missing the big picture here....geez

2007-09-19T11:07:00.000-06:00

Hey folks, I'm proud to be Dine' and proud to a be a native brother to the other tribes. Man, I posted something about Jacoby Ellsbury but I do get a lot of negative shit that he is playing for the Boston Redsox. So fucking what! Geez, your missing the big picture here. It's not like he showed up and asked to play for them. It's not a choice, he is playing in the big leagues along with other greats. He is Dine' and I hope that people would be more supportive in that. Hell, if I was asked to kick a football for the gay-assed Cowboys...I would. Not many of us have that chance or ability and Jacoby is up there and I think he as well as other players such as Joba Chamberlain, (Winnebago, NY Yankees),deserve our support. Dang, this keeps us alive because many ignorant dumbasses think we were all wiped out back in the 1880's.

I'm tired of Natives dumping on other Natives. Dammit, we're here for each other....haven't you learned anything in the last couple of weeks?

If you're wondering...I haven't posted anything in the last couple of weeks is because I have been brought up on charges of sheep fighting and the torturing and eating of sub-performing sheep. It's been stated that I even ate their internal organs and made sausage with their blood. I have found Jesus though, so everything is all better.

I'll blog later on my progession of my flab to fab pursuit. I just got to figure out where to place football and barbeque within my workout schedule. Rock on and lighten up my people.

Major Dine'......#46

2007-08-29T21:13:00.000-06:00

I love baseball. Now I love it more. I've always loved in a way that I never had a favorite baseball team in the majors. Now I kinda do...especially if the Boston Red Sox have a Navajo playing in the outfield for them!!!

Here's his bio in the Red Sox website.

God, you have to love to see a Navajo make it big. But you know what I've heard... we all know that there are some awesome athletes that we've seen play ball at our highschool that you knew that if they kept it up, they would make it big. That's not always the case because we as natives really don't have a great track record of staying in school. There was a Gallup HS grad that was in the Miami Heat that was interviewed and talked alot about that. We have to change this. SO, YOU YOUNG IVERSON WANNABEE'S.....BE.......AND STAY IN SCHOOL. And lift some weights!!!

Sorry Keyeew........GO SCOUTS!!!

It's been a couple of stressful weeks. My 5 year old baby girl spent her first week in kindergarten and my wife got a new job here in Rio Rancho. I thought I'd be all teary-eyed but she was a big girl so I didn't, well I did a little but...gosh they grow up so fast. Man, I can remember a couple of events when I was a beginner-tso at Toadlena Boarding School. My masani was a dorm aid at the school and she took care of my brother and me while my mom finished up at UNM. I remember getting the most outstanding student award at the end of the year.

My workouts have been drawn out and haven't been regular over these last two weeks but I have made the effort to keep it going. We're just trying to feel out the new morning routine and hopefully soon I will get back into the thick of things. I really want to keep it going especially with football season starting in a couple of weeks. Chips & salsa, chicken wings, and beer on a fall Sunday must be burned effectively and efficiently. I am in charge of this machine.

I went running a couple of days last week but I was experiencing some pain in my knees and shins. In highschool I played football as a runningback and baseball as a catcher and I took alot of hits to my legs and squatted for pitches but never experienced any injuries from these sports. I did one time sprained my knee falling down the steps of a lecture hall...that really didn't hurt until I put it up when I got back to my room. The crap of it all with that episode in my life was a Navajo girl just laughed at me and stepped over me while I layed there in pain. Well, that is another story...geez, I've never been so angered at such a display of disrespect from another Navajo.

Well, anyway, my knees feel ok since I haven't run. I really want to run. The fact is I'm still to heavy and I'm sure the impact on my knees are far more than what my knees can handle. I do have an elipse machine and I think I'll use that. I will need to chunk down before I really get out there and jog out a couple of miles. Right now I'm down -12 lbs and have added an inch to my biceps. I know that's why I haven't lost any significant weight because I've been adding some more muscle mass because of my heavy lifting. That doesn't discourage me though because my belt loops are really the guage to my loss in inches around my girth. I'm way psyched to start seeing significant results as my body consumes itself of its stored jiggly mush. I hope sooner than later because that Speedo won't wear itself...:)

Low and slow

2007-08-08T21:19:00.000-06:00

I have to relate my body to a nice big chubby cut of beef brisket. Oh yeah, that's me. A good peace of tough meat with a big chunk of fat attached to it. Or you can look at this way.....a big block of marble with a Navajo "David" on the inside. Haha. Anyway, my anectdote is about meat so back to the meat. When you get that cut of meat with almost an equal amount of fat stuck to it...how do you make it into a nice beautiful slice of tasty edible din din? You cook it low and slow. If you cook it fast, it gets burnt and it remains inedible. If you cook it slow, if comes out of the smoker as the best tasty morsel of goodness that you ever had. A masterpiece for all the scenses.

The reason why I think of it that way? I used to smoke a brisket every other weekend or so but this summer.....Nay nay. Grilled chicken breasts were a big part of my diet. I don't mind it though, but a medium rare New York strip steak will make me tell the truth anytime. So, since I can't get me a chunk of delicious cow every weekend, I have to morph my toungue lust in to a positive drive to my rejuvinated exercise regiment. In other words, I'm re-channeling my drive......from flab to dammit, i can't eat well marbled cuts of delicious bovine tasty bits!

Oh yeah, it's difficult. But at the end, it's all going to pay off. If not, I'll just barbeque myself.

What I'm really saying is in response to the ladies that have been commenting.....a marathon? And when you said, "whole enchilada", I relapsed. Ha ha. Low and slow baby. I'm built for comfort right now, not speed. Let me cook for a while. Three miles is a more attainable goal than 26 miles. Maybe in a next year, or even a couple of years...I may try. Low and slow. Let me get there.

Hey, thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate the encouragement. Rock on.

2007-08-06T22:00:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I had one of the best workouts ever. I went for a jog then worked on my chest and triceps. Whoa, what a pump. Today, I am sore as hell but I did manage to work my back and biceps. That was a hard thing to do because I was way not in the mood. Really, I went out to my garage where the bench is and almost fell asleep, then I just got up...like a miracle......pounded out my exercises.

I do want to start concentrating on running. Got to get the pudge off at a better rate because walking can only do som much. I want to be ready for the 5k at the Shiprock Marathon thingy in the spring. It's just going to take a while. I packed alot of life survival storage on since I graduated from college in 2003. You see, when you've lived a life of chicken wings and beer and then get a desk job and somewhat keep the same diet, a body tends to change shape. Oh well, I've come this far, it'll change back.

Thank you, the gods of football....

2007-08-05T20:49:00.000-06:00

There is a tear in my eye.... FOOTBALL IS BACK ON MY TV!!! The Steelers are looking good against the Saints. Geez, this feels good. I think I made a little pee.......oh well, the newbies are playing.....but it still it warms my heart. 5 rings.....is the first 6th championship possible? Oh yeah. We were the first for everything.......first back to back championship and first to have 2 back to back championships...first to win 4 Superbowls.

Steelers win against the Saints in the Hall of Fame Game 20- 7.

Oh what a feeling. I'm going to go frolic through the streets of Rio Rancho!

I'm foot loose

2007-07-23T21:47:00.000-06:00

Hah! Dang it felt alright. I ran. I ran like a rhino on a bed of pillows. I ran for quite a ways in my standards. Well, it's the first time in about a year that I ran and it was better than I expected. I used to run for about 200 yards and peter out due to stains in my legs and a wuss mentality. Geez, I used to hike mountains, run footballs for the FIGHTING SCOUTS, squat behind the plate for the FIGHTING SCOUTS, and carry heavy hoses into fires. This time it was almost a whole mile but I thought I could keep going but my dog kept wanting to smell the "roses". I felt, I'll do better next time and I'm pretty psyched that I will.

I've been working my legs in my weight training routine and stretching them out as I go. Having kick ass new shoes helps too. These new NB's I just got are pretty cool even though they look like moon boots. I have a general goal to someday run a marathon and I'm sure it's going to be a couple of years before I attempt such a feat and even though, where is my weight training going to take me from here. I'm just going to truck on as far as my determination will take me.

Rock on.

-10 lbs

2007-07-11T11:21:00.000-06:00

It's finally coming off. Even though I pigged out on some Cincinnati chili dogs and a fair share of beer and margaritas over the 4th of July weekend, I managed to burn a few pounds off. I've even gone up a couple of notches on my belt. Funny thing about my belt, I've had this belt since since the early ninties and it has holes that I had to put in because it was too big when I got it (it was gift). I remember putting them in and the looked well used and now I've got the holes at the other end doing the task of keeping my britches up.

I know it hasn't been going as fast as I thought it would be but I am an older dude now the caveman instincts of the human body is trying to hoard all the fat it can to stay alive while the younger cavemen go out and hunt down a mammoth. Damned evolution. I have set some goals and hopefully I can reach them on a timebasis that I have set for myself. Baby steps.

Mutton sandwiches and sneakers

2007-06-27T21:32:00.000-06:00

The last couple of weeks I took time off from lifting. I've been out doing some site visits and have been able to go back into the rez. Way back into the rez. Geez, I went way out to Pinon for a couple of days... when we were growing up, Pinon was one of those places that you would go only if you had family out there or you got lost. I've been out there once before and that was to visit the school when I was an insurance agent. I remember eating lunch at a gas station. At this past visit, my coworker and I ate at a road side mutton stand to get our fix. Man, that was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Not only was it tender, it had lettuce, tomatoe, and red onions. They don't do that out in the eastern agencies, really, it was a treat. There was a gal that was sitting in front of me that was from I guess the Philipines and she had a full bowl of steamed corn stew and big old fried bread. She was slurping it up just like the rest of us. mmmm...good food.

Today I had to go out to Dilkon for another site visit but this time I went alone. No road side stands that I could see, so I had to settle for a 3 piecer in Gallup. It's been along time since I've been IN Gallup. I remember going there to do some shopping with my folks, movies with my girlfriends, and pizzas with friends, but this time, it was all foreign to me. I'm kind of glad though, some of those memories weren't all good. Some times it's good to forget.

I saw the San Francisco peaks from Dilkon. That reminds me of some good times back at NAU. Geez, I miss hangin my buds there and listening to the forest breeze while I did my homework. I almost made a dash, but I would have to explain why there was an extra 200 miles on the company truck and the bill from the Beaver Street Brewery, haha. I love that meatloaf sandwich there.

Yesterday morning I did my chest and triceps...I didn't feel like I skipped a beat in my routine. One thing that I'm going to start is running. I knew I had to get some new shoes but I fealt that I had to get some good ones this time because the others that I have have broken down too quickly. I went to the New Balance store and for the first time ever, my shoes fit and have relieved some soreness in my left foot. I hope these work out because this is the first time I ever spent over a hundred bucks for shoes. Geez.

Rock on.

I still gots me Musckles......lil peoples...eat your spinach!

2007-05-23T21:48:00.000-06:00

Thats me with Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler. He is one big dude. Dang I look goofy with my old man sweater. It looks like my bodyless head is floating.

Last week was that.........weak. I worked out one day on my chest and triceps. The other days got mixed up with assorted distractions. Oh well, I'm not training for any event. Y'know, I don't want to make this work, it's more like a chore...if you floor is all sticky, you mop. If you got soft man-boobs, lift weights and make them perky hard striated man-boobs. Ha ha.

Today is rest day. Monday's and yesterday's workout was awesome, I got pretty pumped and I am almost back to the slugs that I left off at a few years back. Isn't that weird? I haven't lifted heavy for alot of years but it seems that since I kept up my calorie intake that my prior muscle mass didn't all soften up into a chunk of body cheese wizz. Sometimes, chicken wings and a few beers can do a body good...:)

The only problems I have is that I don't have a means of doing squats. I can do squats but if I have to bail doing the last reps.....it's all coming down on my shoulders, back, neck, and head. A couple of years back, I used to have a Smith Machine and it worked well during heavy lifting exercises when I have to bail. I lift alone and there is nobody around to spot me, that's why I had this kind of machine. I sold it when I had to move out to Albuquerque. I'm going to try step-ups and see what that does.

I look forward to Thursday and Friday. Legs and shoulders are all I have left before the Memorial Day weekend. I think I can manage to workout on Monday since this gig has become more of a habit.

Mom's day

2007-05-15T21:27:00.000-06:00

As much as I tried, we could not go back to the rez to visit my mom and numerous grandmas and aunties. I really wish I had but then again, we did have a good time right here at home. Besides, gas prices is a so fucking high...geez, I would almost have to pawn 100 VCR's just to make to the rez! It was almost impossible. There will be more chances to get home this summer. I called my mom, don't worry. I took care of her.

Since we stayed home, we got a lot of stuff done our backyard. First, we moved the playground towards the middle of the yard and moved almost half of the wood chips that was around the playground originally. Geez, I'm glad that is still quite light. Hopefully, this weekend, we'll move the pool towards the house so it will easier to get into and not have to trot across the country to get into the pool. Hopefully it's going to be a long hot summer. I will need to take a dip.

I hope you all had a nice weekend with your mother and if you are a mother, I hope you had the best day of the year.

I need a habit....

2007-05-09T22:03:00.000-06:00

I have to bite my tongue. Monday, I missed my workout but I did make it up yesterday afternoon and had a kick ass session. I feel great and feeling pretty buff under all of this giggly stuff. Ha ha. Today though, I did my back, biceps, and calves and focused as best as I could.....my guns felt the burn. It's coming along quite well, just wish me the best. Hopefully, my lost in inches will coincide with my gains...or be greater. I do want to lose weight but I don't want to be discouraged with minimal lost of weight ratio to muscle gains. I'm trying to figure that out so I haven't stepped on the scale but mainly judging with by my waistline.

So far...still quite tight but not as tight as it used to be.......I'm sure in a couple of weeks I'll be able to go up a couple of notches on my belt to try not scare folks with my vertical smile.

I feel that I'm almost over the hump of starting an exerise program. I think I'm about 3/4 of the way to where it becomes 50%work/50%habit. (It's a bell curve). It will take a little more time where it's a part of my life like taking a wiz. Don't be disgusted, everybody wizzes, and dumps. There's even a book written about it.

Other than that, I did get a few toys for the summer. Power tools!!! I can't wait to cut something up or nail something to something else. It's going to be a great summer.

Well, I hope you all have a happy Thursday. May the Force, be with you.

So far, so good......

2007-05-07T12:20:00.000-06:00

So far, so good. Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I've been lifting. I'm feeling good about it and I haven't slacked off like missing work outs. I once did but I made it up the next morning, I just wanted to spend time with my girls at the Cottonwood mall, they haven't had a good time out in a while.

I'm not far from where I last put down the weights but I do have a lot of inches to burn off my girth. I have an eliptical machine but that thing is a bitch to keep happy so as I get lighter I will probably climb back on it. Cardio sucks ass but it's the only way to get rid of the chunk, y'know. I haven't lost much weight but I do feel a little more room in my jeans.

I've also started hitting the bag and sparing at the Spanish Conquistador chiidiis that may be in my garage. Dang, I don't remember when I last was in a good fight. I think it was during against a dude named....shit, I can't remember but it was at the trees in front of the St. Michael's church when I was a sophomore in high school. I know he was bigger than me but I was quick and wiry. Ha ha. I once took a big blow to the side of my head after I snatched a football from a dude named Darren during a field day football game, man he was pissed probably because I made him look bad or something. After I got tackled he came over after everybody was getting up and he sucker punched me while I was down. What a puss. Damn, he ruined the whole game for everybody because the teachers saw what happened shut the whole game down. It was a cool game because half the teams were girls and didn't mind being tackled. ha ha. Nah, I'm not looking for a fight, but I remember the rush. Besides, nobody fights fairly anymore.

Today: Chest and Triceps/ calves/gut

Justice.......

2007-05-04T23:24:00.000-06:00

I want to give this California judge a hug....hell, I'll even give him a back rub and buy him a club sandwich and beer of his choice at Kelly's Brew pub.

Paris Hilton is a human...she is no better than us

Ah, the planets aren't aligned.....but still, it feels like the world is right...

Every judge in the world must see and embrace real justice. It makes the world right.

Please, send the judge your love with contributions to charity in his name...If not, shake his hand and buy him a dog if you ever run into him in the future. People who make a difference like this deserve recognition and respect for their knowledge of the law.

Inspiration

2007-04-23T12:57:00.000-06:00

Have you ever had that feeling that you just don't care about anything. I don't know what it is I'm going through but for the last couple of months, I really just didn't care about anything. Well, I kept up the usual routines such as going to work, paying the bills and etc. but I feel like I haven't proven myself. I don't know what it is. Right now, I'd rather go to sleep.

I got me a new camera a couple of months ago and I've been tinkering with it alot. Man, cameras have come a long ways since I was in Farkas' photography class at WRHS. I remember running around campus taking pictures of junior high life. The fun part was messin' with the chemicals in the lab. Anyway, there are a few new pics up in my flickr that you can check out and makes some comments on.

Hey, a couple of weeks ago, I met the new Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler. Man, that dude is huge and was one person that I admired when I was lifting weights about ten years ago. Dang, what if I hadn't stopped.... geez, college degree, big muscles, college degree, big muscles..... well, at least I weigh about as much as he does but in the other direction. Haha. Well, I got inspired again and have been lifting again. It's way harder this time to get going but it sure feels good to feel the pain and gain. Here's what my routine will be for a while:

Monday: Chest/ triceps/ abs
Tuesday: Back/ biceps/ forearms
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: Legs/ abs
Friday: Shoulders/
Weekend: OFF

I haven't lost much muscle fortunately because my calorie intake has been high so I hope I can start to lift heavy again soon. My goal is to not be a wasting sack of shit at age 40.

Yes I am

2007-02-12T08:28:00.000-07:00

I have an announcement to make. I am the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter.

y'know what else?

2007-01-23T20:53:00.000-07:00

My wife can solve a Rubik's Cube in a couple of minutes. Really. Seriously, I think she's a ninja or a Jedi. Sometimes I'm afraid for my life she's so awesome.

All Indian Woman

2007-01-15T22:49:00.000-07:00

There are a couple of exams to become a civil engineer; the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE, EIT)and the Professional Engineer exam (P.E.). I passed the FE and after the fourth year in internship, I will be eligible to take the P.E. exam and in passing it I will become a full CIVIL ENGINEER.

If there was ever an exam on becoming a Navajo, my wife has passed it with assorted flying colors. Besides being a loving spouse, she makes an impressive mutton stew and chili beans with Navajo tortillas and Fried Bread respectively (all by her self).

Ever since I first laid my chizhi eyes on her, I have never labeled her as my white lady but only as my Karen. Really, this is beyond her holding the leg during the sheep butchering or the cleaning of the a'chii....she is most qualified and may well be entrusted with the title of saanii in charge (S.I.C.) even more than most that are were born for the job. She is Dine'.

I think I'm all better now

2007-01-12T16:48:00.000-07:00

Last night I watch a rerun of the SuperBowl XL. I felt like I was grinning and I was, I think I'm all better now. Now comes the blogging days of spring!!! woo hoo!!! I'm looking forward to long hot summer, hopefully so I can spend more time in my pool. Last year I think I only jumped in 5 times. That's some sad summer fun. This fall I dumped the water and we're going to move it towards the corner of my back yard so I can establish a place to have a lawn. OOOhh this should be fun. Rock on my people, hope you all had a good Christmas season.

new addition to the family

2006-12-19T09:21:00.000-07:00

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

2006-12-18T20:47:00.000-07:00

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

2006-11-26T23:01:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

Carlos Mencia
Originally uploaded by jae cee.

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.

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.
