What a week this has been

Thursday
Glad thanksgiving is over with. I worked all day Thursday and by all day I mean from 8:00 AM until 11:30 PM. It was ok though, Wal-Mart wont let us call the stores during these times due to them being very busy and all but we have to be here incase they call with problems. It turned out to be a pretty fun day until my powerbook died on me. wouldn’t you know that the apple care warranty is all used up so me and a co-worker figured we would go on ahead and work on it ourselves. Fun times for all there. It was pretty obvious that the hard drive went out by the squealing that sounds very much like the bearings on the hard drive. Let me say that apple builds there powerbooks very well as there wasn't even a centimeter of excess space. We got the hard drive out and I have a new one should be here in the morning. It wasn't as pricey as I thought it was either. Me and John made it over to my brother's place for some good vittles and family stuff. All in all, would have been a great day but for the lappy.

Friday
Since I worked 16 hours straight without much sleep, I stayed in bed until around noonish. The handy man didn't show up either to fix up the house prior to the sale. I waited for a while then made my way to John's parent’s house for the start of the game. LSU - Arkansas and it was a good one. I might even say great one (that might be stretching it a bit). Of course everybody there was in the hog gear and little ole me was all by myself in my purple and gold. I felt bad that Arkansas lost since they are having such a great season, but I only felt just a wee little bit bad. I was not really a big Les Miles fan when we hired him but I can't really say that now. He did a very smart thing in handing the defense over to Bo and has really let Russell do what he needs to do to win ball games. Can you believe that this is the first time LSU has had back-to-back 10 win seasons? Cool stuff. We finished off the day by doing a lot of decorating to John's parent’s house. Much better day....

Saturday
I spent most of the day back at John's parent’s house finishing up the decorating. We went out and played around a bit. I guess you could say that Saturday was pretty non-productive.

Sunday
Sunday started with a bang. The realtor called to say that she wanted to come by and show the house and all. Oops! I guess we should have spent Saturday cleaning up the house. We went into over drive getting the place ready and I think we pulled it off. I had to go to work after that and low and behold when I get there I check the web and LSU is now ranked 5th in the BSC. How you like them apples. Bam! It looks like CBS Sports line is projecting LSU to be in the Rose Bowl as well as ESPN. I kinda thought that we had a shot at maybe the Orange Bowl but I like the sound of LSU-Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Rock on.

By the way, I checked the status of my hard drive.........



So much for overnight shipping.

Much better times.....

Well, good news all. My pops is doing good. It looks like the docs jumped the gun on the tumor thing and the heart thing is not as bad as they thought. So that’s good news. My car, ended up with a bent Axel, but I got it replaced and Insane's back in business. The house hunt is just about over, we found the perfect place up in Rogers, only we made the closing wait until after the new year. Went and had me some turkey and fixings, yummy. What a difference a week makes.

By the way, I just finished watching the new bond movie, Casino Royal and it rocks ass. The new Bond is hot as hell and not a bad actor by the way. I like the more hard and serious Bond. Looking forward to the next one...

Later

Bad times today........

Well, this has been a real crazy week so far and there is still the weekend to go.... Things started off ok. House hunting and all and we are starting to close in on what we are looking for. Then yesterday, blam... I get into a bit of an accident involving a curb and myself. I'm ok, my car took the brunt of it. Not too bad though, the rear rim is all busted up, but it will be up and running by morning. Then the real bad news hits. My pops had went in to the VA Hospital to get some test done, he got the results back and it looks like a tumor in his lungs and an aneurism on a blood vessel leading to his heart. Bad times. Not sure when he will get it worked on, the stupid VA scheduled him for the 27th of the month. That’s like almost 2 weeks away. They said if need be we can bring him to the emergency room and they will admit him so were thinking about doing that now..... 2 weeks? Well, like I said, not a great week. I'll update once I know some more....

Peace out.

Did you vote today?

I Did!!!!
I'm registered in the small community of Little Flock, Arkansas...... When I say small, it is small. But I must say that at 2:00 PM this afternoon there were quite a few peeps there doing there duty and casting there ballot. I did notice something kinda strange though... I was the only voter under the age of lets say 45-ish... I though, "Well, I'm out in the country, might not be many young people" and I felt good. Then I got to work and mentioned voting and 1 person said they either did vote or intended to and he was in his 50's. Now I'm a bit worried because I work with about 40 is or so people my age or younger. And I'm only 33.

What is wrong with my generation? Nobody cares about there community anymore. These same people turned out in droves for the 2004 presidential elections. Am I crazy or do the local politicians actually affect each of our lives more that the president does. Yeah, he makes the big decisions like War and spying and those things, but who makes decisions like which roads get fixed, or other more important issues that effect your daily lives? The local officials do. How can we change the world if we don't change our back yard?

Just a thought...

Whats been going on with me lately?

Not a whole lot over here... Were still looking at houses... Fun times. I think were maybe getting a bit more serious, John is actually going to that bank in tomorrow and see what’s up and all. We really like these new row houses out by us. Who knows? My sis closes on her new House Friday so were all real happy for her. Were gonna go back to Dallas in a couple more weeks, fun times. lol. John's all excited about Game-day coming to Fayetteville and I guess I can't really blame him. Boy, that UA-LSU game in Little Rock is shaping up to be kinda special. Nothing else to report. I know, were not super exciting.

Another one bites the dust....

I have come to the realization that there are NO good people left out there.... OK, that might be a bit harsh.... But you have to admit it is getting harder and harder to tell what is what out there. I mean this Haggard guy; he was the president of a group of over 30 million Christians. Being a Christian my self, I know that people are after all human and prone to a laps in judgment every now and again. There is a big difference in making mistakes and doing what this bozo was doing.

iNSANE's Rant.....

This group that this guy headed, they are staunch supporters of banning gay marriage. Cool, you have your opinions and that’s ok. They say how us gays are sinners and they
actively try to make legislation to do this and that. They put it out there that we are bad and they are good people and all that stuff. Guess what? I'm in a relationship of 2 years, we are doing everything by the book. We have our moments like everybody else and maybe we could be much better peeps. However we are not out there condemning what ever vices that we ourselves take part in. You have never seen myself tell anybody that drinking is bad for you and that you shouldn't do it. Nope. Never have. That is why crap like this really pisses me off. I'm gonna go all Bill Maher on you now but how is this?

NEW RULE:
Don't condemn Gays and Lesbians unless you are not in a 3 yearlong relation ship with a male prostitute.........

Cool, now that that’s off my chest...... How bout them tigers?

Peace

The best time of the year ever.....

I must say that I love this time of the year. The change of season is in full swing, leaves are turning, and there is a chill in the air. Football feels like football. Basketball is starting up. Baseball is finally over. The only bad thing would be Hockey.... :-( .... We get to wear all our new winter cloths. It is just fun right now.

Lets start with some football, how do you like yours? Pro or College? Pro, hey we are just about to the midway point, we got a couple of undefeated teams (Blah), and my Saints are 5-2. Kick ass, We got us a real QB and two pretty good running backs.... Life could be alot worse for my Saints. College you say? How bout them Tigers? Yeah, I know they dropped 2 road games. That sucks but you have to admit, they got the hardest road schedule in the league. The on game that I thought would be a sure thing is far from that. Arkansas has been on a tear since there loss to USC. We got us a big one this weekend with Tennessee up there. You go boys....

How bout your Basketball? Pro, I can't really say what team I root for. I root more for the players and the man Mr. Thomas from LSU is now a Bull so I guess I'll be a bull’s fan. College tickles your fancy? Let us talk about my LSU Tigers on both sides of the gender wall. I give mad props to the boys and do look forward to seeing you guys when you come up here to Fayetteville, but I love my girls..... This is gonna be your year...

Ok, its not that I dislike baseball, its just that there season last so damn long. Glad its over, and yes I hate me some Hockey so blah.

I love this time of the year....
