No longer zero...

Happy 1st Birthday to my Emi. I love you so much. Thanks for the head-butts this morning and the surprise in my shoe.

neglecting my readers because I'm ........ watching sports

I'm sitting here wanting to blog but I'm glued to the damned TV. Sorry. Since football has arrived and the Steelers are somewhat winning, I've been mush-brain. I can't even think of a good topic unless it related to Ben Roethlisberger or Hines Ward. Now the World Series is right around the corner. I can't help it. Please forgive me, I'm but a man with a remote,a bigscreen TV, my buddy, and a cooler full of juice boxes and beer.

Anybody out there know how the SCOUTS are doing?

GO SCOUTS!!!

I hope she uses her powers to do good

I think my wife can will things to happen. The other day, on our drive home, we were driving down Tramway towards the Sandia Casino and this dude in red car was hauling ass behind us. The dude just barely missed our left mirror and continued to move fast and pass other cars that were further down the road. As we were going, my wife said, "I always wonder if I'd ever see someone who drives like that wipe out down the road. Y'know, find his dead ass in a car wreck." I replied, "yeah, I know what you mean." Just as I said that we saw a cloud of dust splash up further ahead and we just kinda looked at each other and I said that he just crashed....she said in a weird tone, "what a dumbass....driving like that, you deserve to crash."

Well, we approached the scene and found his car on the other side of the buffalo fense. Some of you know where I am talking about. The Sandia Pueblo keep a small herd of bison behind a stout fence on the northern part of Albuquerque. But anyway, this dude tried to pass on the outside of a curve and ran off the road and did a Dukes of Hazzard jump over the fence. Good thing there weren't any buffalo around.

We passed and saw that he was ok. Some other motorist went to see if he was ok. We drove for a few more feet and I pulled over to call the Sandoval County Sherriffs Office to report the accident.

Then I looked at my wife. She may hold a gift of willing things to happen.... a Jedi?........... a Sith?............all I know is that I better not piss her off.

Fresh pack of skibbies...

Hey, I'm a year older today. Wow, I can remember my earlier years and gifts that I wanted but never got. Hmmmmm. At least I got some cool ass horizontal striped shirts...and a fresh pack of skibbies. I love my folks, they did what they could.

I love you MOM.

Well, I'm sitting here at work on a beautiful Saturday morning....on my birthday. I could bitch, gripe, and moan about it, but I won't. I can't. I'm doing a job that I certainly love and took me for frickin' ever to achieve. I do have kick ass birthday presents.....family, home, and work. Boy, I sure could use a cold one right about now....and a hotdog....or maybe a turkey leg down at the balloon fiesta park. Today is a long day, I'll get there.

For those that have wished me well, thank you very much.

Once Upon a time......bleh

Well, I've been prarie doggin' some kind of post for the last last week and I always manage to pinch it's little head off before it can emerge. Actually, I figured out that I'm a little stressed with a few little events at about this time of this year.....

1) Bunch of birthdays, including mine;

2) My mother-in-law is coming for a visit from NY;

3) Balloon Fiesta is coming, so a bunch of folks are going to want to crash on my couch;

4) Football is back on my T.V.!

Hopefully I'll get over this hump in my life.

Happy Birthday Boogah

Today, my little Kaitie is 4. Wow, 4 years old.......can you remember when you were 4? I think I can. I remember herding sheep with my big brother...and then sleeping with the sheep dogs. I miss those days.

This is what happens when you take two weeks off.....shit happens......loads of it!

Well, I took two weeks off. Y'know, alot of stuff happens when you turn your back....

First, I gain a brother-in-law, my grandma still loves me even if I have a hangover from a very special occasion (because I don't do it often and she still expects me to do what she tells me to do), winning at golf is sweet (even if it's by forfeit), I severed my hiatus from Wal-Mart without incident, I developed bronchitis (this shit sucks), my little Emileigh started walking (I am so a proud DAD!), Tom Brady is a pussy (true colors are shining through), and my Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-0 (fan since 1971). Man, I hope somebody misses me. Do you? I missed you guys...really.

Rest in peace, lil buddy.

Gilligan is dead. Can things get any worse?

If I were a dead Rehnquist, I'd say, "fuck it, SAVE THE FOLKS IN NEW ORLEANS!!!!!"

God Damn it. Do I need to say more? Aren't there more immediate problems more important than finding a replacement for the Chief Justice? Shit, there are people dying in thier own attics because some dumbass leader of their country didn't give a shit. Really, what would Rehnquist do? He'd say, "fuck it, save the folks in New Orleans!!!."

Prayers to New Orleans

I am stunned as to what's happening down in Louisianna. I can't even imagine what those folks are going through. It's been almost week and now just two days ago aid is finally coming, in the mean time, people are dying as I write.

I am so ashamed and angered at our government's response to this disaster. When other countries have needed our help, a statement from the president and a plan of response was at the ready. Shit, in this case, it is pitiful. Why the president took so long to even make a statement is beyond me. Damn him for draggin his ass.

Well damn, those terrorist fuckers are probably making plans right now and chuckling at our predicament. Federal response just shows them how how unprotected and seemingly unprepared we really are.

I am very happy to hear on the radio that so many people from the city of Albuquerque have contributed money and food for the hurricane relief. Headbangers are more than rebels, they care.

Here is a blog of a Navajo who lives in New Orleans. He has been blogging his experiences throughout the hurricane. Vernon, I hope you are safe and doing well brother.
