Sad News
Looks like it has been almost a month since I last posted here. I found out this week that a friend of mine died. My mom called me Wednesday morning to tell me she had been informed that our friend Gene died of a heart attack at the age of 65. I had known Gene [...]
I’m married now.
I haven’t posted here in a while (like usual). Busy with married life. Been married two weeks now. And I really did not feel like going to work last Monday. Wedding went great. But we were tired afterwards. Again, thanks to everyone who participated, attended, or got us a gift. Pictures can be viewed here: [...]
8 days
8 Days left until the wedding. Time is flying by. BTW, we registered at [url=http://www.target.com/gp/registry/registry.html/ref=cm_cw_sr_1/601-5651500-5873752?%5Fencoding=UTF8&type=wedding&id=7E16H4IOAHVD&jsebd=1]Target[/url]. We just got a gift in the mail today and I haven’t opened it yet (I want to wait until Robin is here) so I don’t know who it is from, but we didn’t tell too many people we reg’d [...]

18 Days. Damn. Here is something on a more serious note. About a month or so ago, one of my friend’s nephew shot himself in the head. After about a week or so in the hospital with no improvement, he died. He was health and had nothing to be depressed over. But he was on [...]
One of those days
Yes, today was “one of those days”. First off, a funny story from yesterday (Wednesday). I was on the Highway 11 Bridge crossing Lake Pounchatrain on my way to work. Well traffic is slow and on the curve of the bridge I could see a white car holding up traffic. When I finally get in [...]
I meant to do this earlier
I really did mean to do this one last week. Thursday, almost two weeks ago, my brother got into a car wreck. He is ok, but his car, which was only 6 weeks old at the time, got heavily damaged. We finally got Zarqawi. He is evil and deserves what he got. Now if we [...]
Less than 7 weeks
As of Sunday May 28, 6 weeks, 6 days. Things are coming together well. Looks like we have our apartment. Rep. William Jefferson (Democrat – La. – CD – 2) is involved in a scandal. Some of the Republicans are attacking the way the investigation has taken place because the FBI is part of the [...]
Small Bits and Pieces
Maybe I’ll stick with shorter, more frequent entries. Britney Spears was in the news twice this week. Why is this even on the news? No one cares. NSA phone tracking: I am a little uneasy about this, but if the government was only tracking who was communicating with terrorists and nothing more, I don’t have [...]
Network Outage & Immigration
Keeping this one short again. But a short post is better than no post. Cable went out Friday night around 8:00 or so. Television and Internet both. Furtuneately I didn’t have anything for work. I spent most of the weekend with Robin. Sunday night cable television was back on but still no internet. So I [...]
Keeping it Short
Two things: Contact your Senator and tell them you support Senator David Vitter’s Title X Amendment. Title X uses federal funding (tax dollars) for family planning, which is mainly abortion. Vitter’s Amendment would eliminate Title X funding being used for abortion. Minuteman Project Founder Jim Gilchrist is considering running for President in 2008. Of all [...]
