Childhood flashback

I’m sitting on the back porch of my new rental house. We just moved in on Thursday and have been going through all of our one hundred bins of packed shit to see what we can/need to bring into the house. This place is much smaller than the duplex we just moved into and then out of. The duplex was a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, kitchen, dining room, living room and small back patio/yard. This house is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, small kitchen, small breakfast nook, dining room, living room, two-car garage that can barely fit a car through the doors and a pretty nice sized back yard for the kids to play in. Which is what they are doing now and have been doing so since Friday.

This is what brought me to the flashback. I am sitting on the porch watching them play with a dodge ball-type ball. My oldest is repeatedly throwing the ball on top of the garage roof and letting it roll down. It reminded me of the two-car garage at my parents’ house. I would throw tennis balls, basket balls or any kind of ball, really, on top of the roof and try to catch it before it hit the ground.

Most days I would do it after getting home from elementary school and usually my dad wasn’t home. If he was, he’d be yelling through the kitchen window at me saying, “Hey boy, don’t be throwing the ball up on my roof! You are going to make it leak!”

I would always think to myself, especially when I got older, “How the hell am I going to make the roof leak with a freakin’ tennis ball or a rubber ball or even a basket ball?” If a tennis ball could trash our roof, what the hell would a big wind or thunder storm going to do to it?

Parents?!?! They are crazy some times. It's a good thing I'm one now to reset the status quo.

A couple of pictures for entertainment

I just moved for the 3rd time in as many months but I still have to unpack and sort my stuff with the wifey.

I don't have internet at the new place yet. It's not being hooked up until the 1st or 3rd. I moved in the new place a few days early which was a good thing. I'm at work getting free high-speed internet.

Anyway, after this, I'll probably be back in a few days if they get me hooked up on my DSL at home.

More stupid news updates

There is a vote a-brewing in these here parts of Texas.

A proposal has been submitted for voting to change the city of White Settlement, Texas to West Settlement, Texas.

Apparently the city was named such back in the old western days to separate the whites from the redskins...I mean Indians (pc).

Give me a freaking break! Granted it had a reason to the naming back then but nowadays it's just a city name!

The country of America is going to shit! All these races are bitching about centuries old historical biases. Don't we have more immediate problems, like AIDS, cancer, bird flu and bad drivers?

F-ing morons in the world!

Next thing you know we are renaming Red Bird Mall, Red River, White Plains, White Sands, Yellowstone, White Rock.

Why stop there? Let's change black-eyed pea, blackberry (the fruit and PDA), black tea.

You get the ridiculousness of it all, don't you?

A blast from the past

Oh, when things were so simplistic...

ScienTOMogy.com - an interesting web site

It's quite entertaining and informative in the sense that you can just see that Tom is losing it or something. Maybe it's part of being a Thetan Level 12 or whatever. He has to spread the word of Scientology like the Jehovah's Witnesses I see riding their bikes in the blistering heat or the freezing cold in their "men-in-black" suits. Poor guys!

I don't follow this but I see bits and pieces of the craziness. He seems to have an "I'm Tom, God of Hollywood and professor of Scientology, hear my bidding!"

In one of the interviews, he tells the reporter that he has stepped out of line. I'd say, "piss off, Tom, you big-nosed, horse-toothed monkey ass!" So, I'd lose the interview but then I would start a black-balling scheme to get every journalist to NOT interview Mr. Scientology! Let's see how well his movies would do then!

I don't watch the movies he is in to see him. I think the movies, if they are indeed good movies, would be viewable if they had any other good actor playing the starring role. Sean Connery makes a good Bond. Tom Cruise wouldn't. Matt Damon did a great Jason Bourne but could also match if not outdo Cruise's Ethan Hunt.

My opinion but I'm just sick of actors/actresses getting this "holier than thou" attitude because they are rich and influential. Tom says he loves everyone and truly, deeply cares about everyone -- (finger pointing) You, you and you! -- but does he adopt any needy child from a third world country or even within this country like Angelina Jolie? Has he truly helped any people like he claims to have "helped many get off drugs"? How come we haven't seen or heard from any of these mysteriously helped people? Did Tom go down to New Orleans and help pull people to safety like the better-than-thou-but-I'll-get-dirty-to-show-I-do-care Sean Penn?

Don't think so!

Oh well. Put a fork in me. I'm done!

What a moron!

I heard/read, can't remember which and don't care enough to find out, that Tom Cruise is a "traditional guy and doesn't want his child borne out of wedlock."

But it's okay to have pre-marital SEX.

I love traditionals!

MORON!

Holy freakin' canoli

I got my test paper back for exam II in my economics class. I was sure I made at least an 80 percent. I was sure of it even though I missed two classes because of sickness and then moving.

I go to the front of the class to get my paper from the prof and what did I get...

56

Can you believe that? I suck! I crossed a couple of formulas on one work problem but all in all I aced the work problems. It was the friggin', frackin' multiple choice that I sucked hard on. Out of 15 multiple choice questions, I got 8 wrong.

Fucking sucks! Pardon my French!

I guess it's time for a student-teacher conference to see how much I really do suck!

PISS!

Today I am  

Boogers

I wonder if they can get DNA from boogers?

I guess I'll have to call CSI.
