First, something copied from Cait's xanga...

Ground rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write a blog entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who ( Read more... )

As I had mentioned to Bonnie, here's a list of warning labels (reminiscent of medicine warning labels) that should be on every sign in the dating pool...

Aries:  Prone to frequent outbreaks of temper...may cause severe headaches.

Taurus:  May cause raiding of fridge and bovine territoriality of your couch.

Gemini:  Incapable of shutting up or ( Read more... )

Deep Ellum kicks ass. As locales go, it's got mad flavor...somewhere between Denton's Fry Street and Revolucion Ave. in Tijuana. It's larger than Fry, and not quite the cesspool of humanity that Tijuana is. I have reliable intelligence that Dallas' mayor would just as soon bulldoze the area and build another shopping mall. Isn't that just what ( Read more... )

Crunk sucks. Lil Jon, the Ying Yang Twins...they must all die. I don't hate all hip-hop, mind you. Hell, there's lots of rap I downright love. Gimme anything in the time between the Sugar Hill Gang and the Pharcyde any day of the week. Hell, I even developed a taste for some gangsta rap. But crunk has to go. It is a great big shit stain upon ( Read more... )

Well, after a week without work and a two one-day jobs through the temp agency, I finally have an assignment for a good three weeks, possibly longer. It's grungy industrial steel work, at a a place called Edco Fasteners on the I-35 service road a bit past Fouts Field. Being that most of the clothes I have here I actually like, I've resorted to ( Read more... )
