WE made it!!!!

We got into Houston last night @ 8pm Central time. The flight was a bad one. it was a commuter flight with only 3 rows of seats. So we got to sit on the engines at the end of the plain. We had 4 hours of drone that made us deaf!! we stayed at our aunt's house and today, we are at the sisters-in-laws for Christmas. It has been cool weather and i am glad. I will try to post tomorrow about our farther travels...
Caio!

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!!!

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)
