Burnning cars...

When I was still in my teens, we would go over to Louisiana and go to some great clubs. Having said that, I will now tell you a story.

I was 19 and in college, SFASU. I experimented with many drugs and stuff like that. One night in the dorm room, my roomie and I were pouring Everclear alcohol into a green 7-Up bottle and setting it on fire. the fumes would burn at the top of the bottle. it was neat. Anyway, I was in Louisiana at a club called Club Fizz. we were in the parking lot waiting for a friend to come out and get us. I happen to have a 7-Up bottle and some Everclear with me, so I started doing the fire thing. it was cool and pretty as I was frying. well, I set it down and talked to my friend in the back seat. I had sheepskin seat covers on the front seats and a lot of paper under the passenger seat. I drove a Plymouth Sundance (later called the Flamedance) red interior and white exterior. I picked up the bottle and lit it again, it shot flames out and scared the shit out of me!! I threw the bottle down and the burning liquid caught the seat cover on fire, it quickly started to burn up the interior and the bouncers pushed the car out into a grassy field as flames shot out of the window. The fire department came and doused the car with water!! I was scared of how I was going to explain this to my parents at 4am in the morning... Well, we drove the car home with a wire frame of a passenger seat home. The insurance people totaled the car out and we purchased it back for $5000 and had the interior redone. I drove the car without a passenger seat for about a month as we bought one and it was getting recovered with material that matched mine. I put a lawn chair on the place of it for a while!!! Very funny! I drove the car until the summer of 1992 when I bought my Acura Integra. Two years later, I saw a car burnning on West Loop 610 in Houston. It was a rainy night and very late. I did not see any cops there...

I got the Flamedance in 1989 as a graduation present from my grandparents. What hell I put them through...
I love the dearly and I am going t see them in about 2 days!!!
BOB has now left the building...

New Movies...

Well kiddies, I hope that in the New Year, 2007, we have some better movies than what we had this year. Only a few come to my mind that were funny and worth noting that I saw in the Commonwealth 20.

Funny:
1. Talladega Nights
2. Beer Fest
3. The Pink Panther (very good remake IMHO)
4. You, Me and Dupree

SCI-FI/Other:
1. Da Vinci Code
2. Failure To Launch
3. Last Holiday

I watched on DVD - The Benchwarmers, Iceage 2, Stick It, Good Night and Good Luck, Syrian, Jarhead, SAW1&2, ALL THE STAR WARS movies, The Island, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Family Stone, Cheaper By the Dozen 2, The Girl Next Door.
Several series that I watch include: Nip/Tuk, The Shield, Rescue Me, Big Love, Deadwood, and The Wire

I need and plan to watch X-Men III as I have it and several others including the Bevis& Buthead 3 DVD pack set!!! and Invader Zimm 3 DVD set, also Capote.


I plan to purchase "SAWIII" when it comes out as well as "A Scanner Darkly" and " The Woman in the Water" (I am a BIG M. Night Shyamalan fan) And lots of 1970s and 8os TV series have come out: Jason of Star Command, Jonna's Arc, D&D, Just to name a few.


I just hope that the Fantastic Four 2 with the Silver Surfer will be good as I thought the first movie was a good one. We need some franchise to fill the gap left by Star Wars and LOTR ending.

I will try to post over the next week, but my mother's internet connection is very s-l-o-w.
So it might be sporadic, but I will try. If not, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Christmas

I am at work and all i can think about is going to Texas for Christmas to see our family.  we leave on Christmas Day and will return on the 31st as i have to work on the 1st of January, 2007.  This year has just flown by me.  It is also nice, i might add, to have been able to stay in a house for a WHOLE year!!!   No moving for us this time around!!  Chelsea is 13 and we promised her that we will stay put until she graduates!!

 

In Texas, we have to see a lot of people in a short time!!  All of my Wife's family, all of my family, a few friends and several other people.  We are gonna pop fireworks in the night of the 29th as that is when we are having Christmas with my maternals.  I love me some fireworks!!!  Well i will try to post more before i go to Texas.

 

CAIO!!!!

Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood

over questions of reality and illusion.

I know this: if life is an illusion, then I

am no less an illusion, and being thus, the

illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I

love, I slay, and I am content.

(Robert E. Howard, Queen of the Black Coast, Weird Tales, May 1934)

 

This just sucks the big one!

5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their
Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused.

We are NOT going to grant them an extension.

However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are
going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support
monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our
teachers take 300 hours of ESL(English as a Second Language)
training at our expense, etc.

WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE......
OR WE MUST REALLY LOVE TACOS!!!

Don't forget to pay your taxes......
12 million illegal aliens are depending on you!

Give all of our secrets...

I have the internet at work and home much like 100 million other people. Now, why do we post pics of future designs of our Military equipment? We give CUT-A-WAY views of this stuff. People that want to destroy the USA have the same information available to them as we do if they want to LOOK hard enough. It is just like Discovery Channel, the like to report about "top secret" or new technology. WHY IS THIS?? To terrorist not watch TV or surf the internet? I got this headline off of FARK.com!! Why do they need spies? All the need to do is surf the internet!! It is a lot easier then having someone try to steal the blueprints. On the Cutouts, it shows where the engine rooms and other very important areas are located. Just the right spot to place a BOMB or a torpedo or some other device to cripple the ship. How stupid is that? In my opinion, this should be TOP SECRET, not public knowledge...
Just my opinion...

Posting on my BLOG

I welcome Comments to my BLOG. I LOVE for people to post and let me hear what other People think about things I say or situations around the world, but WHAT I cannot stand is the fact that SOME people who use the ANONYMOUS setting to post are pussies!! My name is on my BLOG and if you don't have the BALLS to say your name. Get out of the BLOGASPHERE and off the NET.

To quote"Anonymous said...
In today's mainstream society (primarily among the upper-class) we regularly perform painful, long-term, cranial modification for the sake of aesthetics, on children as young as 10 or 12; there's an entire industry built upon it, called orthidontistry. Now granted we say that it's harmless, and for the good of the child, but much of the time is truly unnecessary and causes great pain and suffering; and the child would live a perfectly normal, healthy, comfortable life otherwise (albeit with a culturally perceived "deformity"). This form of body modification is perfectly acceptable, and I ask what truly makes it any different? I cast no moral judgment on either culture, I merely find it an intriguing hypocrisy

WHAT AN ASS!!! He can enjoy his crooked teeth and butwipe, they get taken off after a Few years. Mine did!!

So, step up to the plate!!

Day Shift...

I started the day shift yesterday. I am not a big fan of it. More People, More Engineers, more stuff ingeneral. I have to train on it, so that is why I am here. IT felt like someone had beaten the shit out of me yesterday after lunch. I was soooo tired and ran down as I did not sleep much the night before(Sunday night). I get up around 4.50 or 5.00 am to get my day started. I am still on the same shift schedule, but just on days, not nights. I just work better on the night shift. I have to be out of the FAB by 9.00am to start my "Training"...
We will see what it is like, and I am also trying to secure my other interview this week before we go to Texas next week for Christmas! I cant wait to go. IT will be hard for me to post next week as I have no reliable interconnection where I am going. SO I will have to find enough stuff to keep the masses happy this week so we can coast through the next. :-)
L8ters..

Durham NC...

Well, I lift from work @ 7.15 am on Friday to drive to Durham to visit my Brother for the weekend. I got to his house around 10.30 am and we proceeded to go and eat and talk about lots of things. He drove me around the Duke campus and I was Totally BLOWN away!!! It looked like a campus from an Ivy League school instead of a southern university. I was very tired, but I did not fall asleep until 8.30 pm and I had been up since Thursday @ 3.30pm…What a stretch!! So I woke up the next morning at 7.20 am and we proceeded with our day!!! Cliff my brother is in Duke Divinity School to become a Methodist Preacher!! He is very wise and a very brilliant young man at 26 years old. I do so enjoy debating with him on cretin subjects!! We took a walking tour of Duke and IT was amazing. The main Cathedral was built in 1932 and it is in the old English Gothic style of Notre Dame!! I was so sad that I forgot my camera, but next time, I will have it and have pics of the stained glass!! There is over 1 million pieces of class in the cathedral. The campus is really interesting and I would have loved to have had the opportunity to have gone to Duke. After we walked around the main campus, we took a walk through Duke Gardens. We went home after the walk and got some food. At around 12.30pm, Cliff and I went on a bike ride for over 2 hours! WE got kicked off a gold course as we did not know that it was a private one!!! A munchkin as it was, was the greens keeper and this PAT came and asked us to leave the course with our bikes, we complied, and found another way around to get where we wanted to go. We then came home and watched movies and stuff like, just chilled out!! We got up this morning and we went to the church where Chill is a member and an assistant preacher. It was a very interesting service as it was multi lingual, Spanish ad English. IT was a good service and sermon, Cliff was the Liturgist and lead some prayers and stuff like that. After the service, we had a “Pot Luck” lunch in the fellowship hall. I left Durham having had a good weekend and a needed break from Midlothian and my job. I will have 3 pics to post with my camera phone, but I will do them l8ter.

iPods In Space...

As many of you know, I am not a BIG fan of the IPOD or any Apple products. This is really funny to me that it made news. I had 2 of them and they were both trash. I looked for online support and finally bought a Creative Zen Touch and I have had no problems with it.

It seams that even NASA is not immune to the IPOD craze… The people I have an IPOD velcored to a part of the shuttle. At least NASA did not have to inspect it for re-entry to the earth’s atmosphere. The caption said on www.Fark.com “What device was just spotted on this shuttle mission that has 400 times the CPU power and 80 times the memory of the avionics computers and can even survive a year date rollover?” A freaking IPOD!! WOW, I wonder if Apple got and endorsement for this one?? Perhaps we will get a revamp of the shuttles systems that only accepts firewire…no pun intended!! That is just SAD folks, a music player with more computing power than the shuttle?? I wonder if the astronauts would feel better flying an IPOD? “Now New and Improved IPOD shuttle by Apple and NASA. A joint operation that benefits all of mankind!!!

Here is the URL: IPOD “Editor's update: If you look at the left hand side of this image taken on Monday, 11 December, you will see an iPod and a Belkin external battery pack velcored to a panel next to the Discovery's toilet located in the Shuttle's middeck. The iPod is connected to a set of external speakers. It can also be seen in this image.” Well at least they did not use Duct Tape to put it on and being an Apple product, they knew where to place it…Near the crapper.


There is Even the have one on the Space station!! Apple must have paid lots for all this advertising!! I can see it now, International Space Station powered by IPOD!!!
