I am now taking friendly-fire, I think I need to change.
here's an interesting quote I overheard today "...life sucks because you suck. Stop whining about it and change something!" - Larry Winget, speaker.
(www.larrywinget.com) turn down your speakers if you access this site, cause he's got a terrible greeting of "who let the dogs out" {he's the pitbull of public speakers, so he says}
which actually is really good for a lot of people, including myself. I whine (as I like to call it bitching) alot. So what are some things that I could change...hmmm. Don't think there's enough room on this page or time to address it now.

New Look
How do you like the new look? I was getting tired of the dark background. Need something brighter - anywho - more things to come, soon.
- Pics of Jennie's new (old) fiddle and our trip to Cali
- More stories of some sort, who knows
- A new job? we'll see.

Hot Daze
Well it's about a hunded freakin' degrees here today, and i'm nowhere near any kind of cool refreshing water. What's the problem with this picture? I need to remedy that situation.
I have been thinking lately about friends and family. I need to do a better job of keeping in touch with folks. So if you are one of those few who read this and you are one of my friends, which typically will go hand in hand because I don't really tell too many folks about this, then you need to respond and send me an email. Or, better yet, leave a comment here and let me know something, anything. But I will be calling you soon, cause I don't want to be one of those folks who gets married and falls of the face of the planet. It just isn't going to happen.
Can you tell i'm bored? Reaching for anything to jump out at me so I can write about it. I have not been a model employee lately. Yesterday, for example, I worked a total of about 30 minutes; yes that's for the whole day. I hope no one that I work with or for reads this. Maybe I had better at least take my picture off of the blog anyway.
Some of that time though, was devoted totally to work, and the problems/issues I have with it. Being in the corporate jungle is not the most inspiring or satisfying job. At least not for me. Here's an idea, someone come up with some good ideas of jobs for me, and leave them posted here and i'll check them out!! How about that? This is a great networking asset!!
I did apply for a new job yesterday, it's still in the corporate world, but it's a bit different than what i've been doing, so hopefully that will at least result in an interview or two. Who knows, I could be inspecting pipelines across the US before you know it! Also, I just interviewed for a job in the bio-tech/pharm. industry. Not my ideal candidate for a job, but, the pay is good and the people seemed nice. What more can you ask for to start with?
And if anyone knows of a quality instrument maker in the Austin or even central Texas area, please let me know. That is really what I am pinin' (no pun) to do.

why
Why is an interesting question. This sounds like it's going nowhere, but there are plenty of places to ask this question. For starters:
1. Why would you steal a TV in the middle of a natural disaster? You can't eat it, it doesn't contain water, and it will drown you if you try and carry it; more over, it won't even work when you get it home. For one, because it's gotten wet, and there is not going to be electric power for 2 months. Put the TV's down you retards!
2. Why would you shoot people during this horrendous time? I heard one story of a man who shot and killed his own sister; it said it was an argument over a bag of ice. Sad. Just plain Sad.
What is the world coming to? Even worse, there are reports of folks firing at helicopters that are coming to get these folks out of the area. Now that is wrong.
I do understand that some of these folks do not want to leave, or dont' want to be told they have to leave. But they need to understand also, that there is no way for them to live there. Surprisingly the authorities do seem to have plenty of knowledge in this case; and you gotta' go. There is no food, no water, much disease, and death. Do you wanna' die? If so, try and steal that last bag of doritos from your brother, he'll probably shoot you for it.
Now I know, I'm not there. I do not pretend to know the first thing about surviving in that type of an atmosphere. I've never had to do that. But I can 99.9% guarantee that I wouldn't be waving guns around stealing TV's and vacuum cleaners. I would be working to get my ass, and anyone else's asses that wanted out, the hell out of that place.
Take some food, water, clothes, a tent, a boat, what you need. Not what you "have never been able to have". I feel sorry for those who have no soul and can't seem to see where help is needed and that they are not helping but hurting others. They in the end only hurt themselves.
For those out there helping and aiding in the rescue, evacuation, and re-construction of lives and cities; I can only offer you this:
As the Dhali himself said to the Carl Spackler "There will be no exchange of money. oh-no. But on your death-bed, you will receive, total conscience-ness" ...so at least you've got that going for you.
Our thoughts are with the folks involved in the areas of the hurricane. Robin - if you are out there call us. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you or your family. We hope you are all safe.
