Monday Thoughts

  • We are moved now. My favorite motto is: 'A place for everything and everything in it's place.'
  • Its so nice to be close to everything.
  • Traffic sucks but I have found a way around the traffic.
  • I sent off for a 'rocket firing' Boba Fett figure from the New Star Wars line. Everything that was old is new again (except the customers who now have cash to spend on this stuff).
  • Decatur seems 'sleepy' compared to Fort Worth now.
  • I can now see whats playing on Public Access TV in Fort Worth opposite of my show...
  • I REALLY need new stuff out there. I need to fill in those time slots!
  • Television is 80% reality show now... Oh man that SUCKS!
  • I cringe when I see a reality show on. How low has our society sunk?
  • NPR is annoying with their 'better than you' liberal mentality.
  • WBAP is annoying with their weekend 'thinly veiled commercial-shows' and CONSTANT commercials.
  • Both of those stations are better than all the other stations combined though.

Friday Thoughts

  • When you look at all the old Star Wars figures (from the 70's - 80's) you will notice that they (many times) don't look anything like their counterparts on screen. It looks like all they were concerned about is the head, everything else was up to the sculptor.
  • I am 9+ hours behind on sleep for the week. I can feel it creeping up on me. Time for a weekend four hour nap and a sleep in on Sunday.
  • Since our house is 80+ years old I am curious if anyone has ever died there (from natural causes or whatever). I wonder if there is a website where you could find that info.
  • I am scared to know.
  • Ignorance is bliss (unless you are voting for a liberal).

Wednesday Thoughts

  • I have been moving for the last couple of days so the blog has taken a back seat.
  • My new house is pre 1950's and it shows.
  • I am still in the 'this house is creepy' phase so I am not sleeping too well.
  • I'll get over it after everything is moved in and in its place.
  • The bathroom need some real work and with the florecent bulb it looks JUST LIKE the set of SAW 1 in there.
  • I kid you not.
  • Showering in a clawfoot bath tub SUCKS!
  • Nice neighboorhood.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • I have no idea if anyone ever reads my blog but thanks (if you do).
  • I have the pool deck torn apart (I am rebuilding it and making it smaller). Many of the old boards are warping too much.
  • I got the new large size AT-AT walker. This thing is massive!
  • Moving Monday.
  • Still haven't sold the house. We do have an 'interested' prospect who has decent credit... we will see.
  • I'm not holding my breath.
  • The Wendy's in Decatur has the outer frame up.
  • There is a CVS coming to town next year.
  • Decatur is 'sploding!
  • I am mapping the hospital's fiber connections (about 500 of them). TEDIOUS.
  • I have the paperwork and I will be applying for The University of Phoenix in the next few weeks. I have to get my Bachelor's degree.

Friday Thoughts

  • I didn't mention it eariler but I got the VW Beetle inspected! She is road legal now!
  • We are moving week after next. We are going to be smack dab in the middle of Arlington Heights.
  • For some reason I feel the need to move when it's the HOTTEST time of the year... never fails.
  • The sales guys didn't bite from the Ford dealerships. I have decided to keep the truck until it gives up the ghost.
  • I got all new tires day before yesterday.
  • The pool is like a warm bath again = not fun.

Tuesday Thoughts

  • When did the flip flop become the national shoe?
  • Why does civilization revolve around alchahol? I don't need it why does everyone else?
  • I bet Obama would hate shopping at Target at Montgomery Plaza, too many middle class white people with their hard earned money.
  • When I helped open the Target in Burleson they said it wasn't a Super Target becasue there was a HEB going up across the street in the future.
  • The HEB is almost finished (6 years later) and now I see signs saying that Target will be carrying food soon...
  • The Walmart in Burleson got a complete makeover recently as well.
  • I BET both stores are reacting to the forthcoming HEB.
  • Competition is great. The consumer wins!
  • Bush senior's crap line was 'no new taxes' Obama's is 'it's fully paid for'.
  • He loves throwing that one around.

Tuesday Thoughts

  • I couldn't play the Wolfman Blu-ray I got from Netflix. My player is TOO OLD! I had to update the firmware... don't you love new technology?
  • I am going to have to invest in some Lemax Spookytown stuff this year.
  • I had 3 (no-syrup) diet Dr. Peppers at work in one week. I am going to have to stop getting them from the cafe for a few months.
  • I have been 'negotiating' with the Internet sales people at Bankston Ford for a week now about a new Ranger. We will see if they bite today.
  • I am going to donate my current truck instead of trade it in. It has issues but it still runs fine.
  • We stayed at mom's lake place in Mexia. It's kinda run down but she just loves it.
  • I have started reading Project Superpowers. It is somewhat reminiscent of Watchmen.
  • I am going to contact the University of Phoenix today or tomorrow once I finally decide what to take. MUST ADD TO MY WALL OF PAPER!
