Spending Money I Don't Have, On Shit I Don't Need.

Thanks E3. Here's what I'm anxious for. I heard you only need 1 kidney to function normally, is that right?

..and that doesn't include Batman Arcane Asylum, inFamous, Ghostbusters, NCAA Football 10, Tiger Woods 10, which were previously shown.

Or stuff from my backlog that I need to get too, like Street Fighter 4, Halo Wars, Killzone 2, Punch-Out or Resident Evil 5.

Found it!

Thank you to the worker at Gillihan Paint & Body, for finding it, holding on to it, and returning it back to it's owner. It would of been pretty easy to take it, sell it or do whatever, but he did the right thing. There are still good people out there.

And a kick in the junk goes to The Rooster, for apparently not checking his car thoroughly enough.

Shuttle Takeoff Pictures

(Not an actual launch)

A continuation from yesterday, as the shuttle continued it's trip back to Florida.






















Star Telegram's Article - Endeavour soars from Fort Worth runway

I'll mess with the order later

Pictures of the Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttle (riding on the back of a custom 747) made a pit stop here in Fort Worth today on it's way back to Kennedy Space Center. I was lucky enough to see it land and take a few pictures.

Enjoy!










Pretty cool that you can look outside your office window and see the freaking space shuttle.

By the way, those are the only pictures I'm "allowed to have" that don't have other planes in them.  But that's between you and me...

Star Telegram's Story

Stars Game

Monster seats from "Tickets Now" the 2nd hand site from Ticketmaster.

Row G.... 7 rows up from the glass, right by the face off spot.

Here are some shitty pics from the iPhone, also known as the 3rd fucking time I forgot my good camera. Why did I even buy the damn thing?

Closeup of a face off.  Great seats.

Zamboni....as fun to type as it is to say.

Hot fan in front of us.  She's a Avs fan.  I'm ok with that.

This was the game winning save.

Can't remember if the Stars scored or not.

The Ice Girls.  If you look closely, the ice is melting.  If you look closer, by brother's got his camera phone out too.  We missed getting a picture of the hot brunette.

Shootout

Roosters on Ice...

Another shot of the faceoff. 

Who is that sexy guy?

Here's the last know picture of me and my Aggie Ring. MIA 12/6/2008

Snuck into the locker room to sneak a pic.  at&t was kind enough to sponsor it.

Selling stuff on Ebay...

Exciting Stuff.

Here's a LINK to my first item I'm trying to sell on Ebay. 120 GB Hard Drive for the 360.

Started it last night at $.99 (not sure that was a good move as it was the default) and it's moving up pretty quickly.


Editors Note: Ended up selling for $145.50. Not too bad. Now I'm waiting for his "e-check" to clear before I send it.

Started my next auction...same item, soon after it ended. Going good soo far. Had some pretty dumb questions though. If I say I only ship to the US on the auction, why do you email me asking if I will ship to Brazil? I may do it, but outrageously overcharge him, just on principle. The "buy it now" price is pretty prominent on there, why do you email me asking how much it is? Bah....must be new to Ebay.

You People....Need to Stop It

People....it's pronounced TARGET. TAR-GET! Not "Tar-jay"

It's not high class. It's barely a step up from Wal*Mart. Cut that shit out.

That was cute maybe 5 years ago. I'll admit taht it was kinda funny. I laughed. Now it's old. Cut it the fuck out.

People who pronounce it TARJAY, need to be punched in the puss. Seriously. I'm willing to do my part.

Good Eats around TCU

Dutch's Hamburgers has a great burger and fries. I had the Blue Cheese burger, which can only be recommended if you really really really love Blue Cheese. I just really really like it, so it was too much for me. I hear the avocado burger is good, so that may be next on my plate.

On Monday, I had Fuzzy's Taco Shop, and they had some kick ass hot sauce that makes me want to go back today. Great tacos there. I think 3 are not enough though.

Buffalo Bros is also near Dutch's and I hear good things. That may be on tap for later this week.

I Think It's Finally Dead

Well, I think it finally bit the dust. Coming back from Dutch's Hamburgers (over by TCU...really good burger and great fries! I should probably make a post). I was listening to it while I was eating. I get into the car, and try to change it to a podcast, when it freezes on me. Next thing I know, it's the iPod sad face.

FFFFFFFF

I haven't taken it to the Apple Store yet, but based on my last visit, it probably won't go very well.

I've started pricing iPod Classics. I'd ask for one for Christmas, but that's just an exercise in futility and I would just end up disappointed. I never get shit I really want for Christmas. Found some refurbs on the Apple Store. Might have to go that route, unless they can revive mine.

Or, I might try this first.

Anybody ever do this before? Looks like some fun.

New Toy...

Booyakasha!

Goodbye Nextel. Thanks to my brothers for sticking with it. Yes sarcasm.

On Saturday,since I was well rested, I decided to get shit done. Plenty of sleep was had the night (and day) before.

Went to the dry cleaners....turns out Wed & Sat are 30% off discount days. Awesomeness.

Went to an AT&T store down the road in Arlington in the middle of the afternoon to take a chance and see if they had any iPhones left. They stopped just short of laughing at me. No biggie. Figured it would be crazy. Decided to take my chances anyway, and journey up to Southlake, cause...really, there was nothing better on TV to watch.

Get there, park and as I'm walking (note to self, there's alot of scattered ass walking around the Town Square...must return) into the store, I see a sign hanging on the easel saying they are sold out. I think to myself...oh well, at least I'll get to play with one of the display models and decide if I wanted the white or the black one. As I'm walking in, the greeter at the door asks me if I'm here for the iPhone. I say yes, but I just saw the sign by the door. He says that they just got another shipment in, so they're in stock. I'm first in line for the next batch, which fills up really freaking quickly. 30 minutes later, he's got my $324 (yes it's the 16 gb) and I've got a new phone number (fcuk!). I'm going to have to visit the AT&T store and get my number ported over, cause they couldn't do it at the apple store, and the lady on the phone at AT&T described a really lengthy process that had me contemplating just keeping the new number.

Some great applications have already been downloaded. My favorites so far...
Remote - Control your iTunes from your phone (as long as you're on a network). Works seamlessly. I'm loving it.

Shazam - amazing song recognition program ... Hold up to music get the artist and title info within 30 seconds . It's really freakin awesome. I say "Shazam!" every time it works. (obvious joke avoided on purpose)

Flickr - post your pics from your phone directly to your blog. You can browse your flickr photos as well.

Cube Runner - fun little free 3d game where you try to navigate the longest around an increasing number of blocks. Uses the motion control of the iphone.

AOL Radio - free online radio from around the country. Even has local radio station 105.3 on there. Fantastic.

Pandora - same as the website. Give it a artist you like and it plays more like it.

Lightsaber - you pick the color of your lightsaber, then as you move the phone, it makes lightsaber noises. Pretty awesome....if you're a bit nerdy.

Aurora Feint - amazing "columns" style game. Rotate the phone, the blocks rotate. It's free too. Game this good, you would expect it to cost.

Urban Spoon - a "slot machine" type program that picks where you go eat. Perfect for the people I run around with.

Now I'm looking for a good case for it. Any suggestions? ipodlounge has dick up right now. The one I bought at Best Buy doesn't fit the new 3G models. Gotta return it on Tuesday (NCAA 2009 Day!). I'm leaning towards (editor's note: and ending up buying) the Griffin hard shell leather case. Seems to work pretty well. Even has a plastic screen that covers the regular screen. You would think it wouldn't be as responsive, but it works great.

And that's another reason why I'm better than you.

P.S. I saw that they're building a 5 Guys Burgers and Fries joint up there. I hear good things about that place from some NYC people I talk to. We'll (you know who you are) have to check that place out.

P.P.S. I just learned there's one in the Galleria. F' that. Southlake is closer.

New Toy

Excellent

Of course the first thing any sane person does is take a picture of themselves. I decide to take a picture of my balls.

In an effort to keep the blog semi safe for work, I just made a link to the photo. Click the link.

For you enthusiasts, here's another angle.

Big aren't they? You wouldn't be wrong if you referred to them as "grandiose". Should I be worried about the difference in color? I dunno. One's a little smoother than the other, but that's because it gets more attention than the other. Yes, there is a bit of jealously involved, but they'll get over it.

Look for me to add more random ass picture to the blog soon.

Props to the State Department

10 day (that includes a Sunday...so it's more like 9 days) turnaround from me sending off for my passport, to me receiving it in the mail is really impressive....until you consider I paying for a piece of flimsy ass paper that I'm betting I'll only use a handful of times. Now it looks like a screw job. "Da gubment didn't just tak r jowbs....dey tuuk mah mahne".

Downtown Dallas...Jetsons Style

3/11/08 The entire metroplex was under heavy fog. The division president just sent these out. I thought they were pretty cool. Looks like something out fo the Jetsons...hence the title.

Another Case of the White Man Holding the Brown Man Down!

1. Dirty Garza

While doing a girl doggy style the man's free hands are stealing money out of her purse.
When I lost my wallet on vacation I had to give this chick a Dirty Garza just to pay for my drinks for the rest of the week.

Sonuvabitch! That's all I really have to say.

Thanks to my krakas ass friend Steven for pointing this one out. Bet you laughed your ass off when you first read this, didn't you?!?

Yeah for Mom!

Got my first forwards from my mom. (I'm not counting the refinery explosion email) this morning. These are sweet. It makes me happy to see that she now has a work email address...and is getting forwards from people. Glad my mom has finally entered the 90's. The next few years should be very exciting for her. For those that live in the now, please don't spoil it for her as she likes to be surprised.(still love you mom!)

Thomas Goes to the Bathroom....Hilarity Ensues

Soo let me get this straight. A "meskin" abortion clinic is a Honky buffet?
I had not seen this one until recently. I laughed. I'm actually a little creeped out by this one...
Well this should save me the 8 hour drive.
I wonder if they card.
This one's hilarious to me...and it's also how I refer to rough toilet paper ever since.

This one's only funny if you know our Superintendent Jorge. Apparently the field thinks he's some sort of ninja turtle.

This post reminds me...I really should put up some completed photos of the hotel. Stay tuned!
