Drupal and it’s oddities
Well, I am going to try my hand at getting a replacement site going for the slightly aging look of the Lone Star Spirits site. I am going to try and use Drupal as it seems to be very versatile and yet clean and modular. I think I can get something whipped out in a …

Lack of posts
Well, I have been busy looking for a job and rebuilding the back fence. The former is because of getting laid off from First Community Bank which turned into Wells Fargo. The latter is because of Hurricane Rita. My father is helping me with the fence as I have no talent for anything related to …

Serenity where art thou
We went to see it today and it rocked. I enjoyed the movie a lot and it made me wish that the TV show would come back. I will not give any spoilers to it but will say it is worth the cost to see it. Lates

It was a Last work day of sorts…
Well, today was my last day as an employee for First Community Bank(FCB). They were purchased by Wells Fargo(WF) and WF had no IT job openings in or around Houston, TX for me to pick up on. It was not a bad run as I started my employment with banks starting with Community State Bank(CSB) …

I enjoy online Comics
When I see comic strips with panels like this in one, I find it hard not to laugh… I have found that PVPOnline has done well over the years and I enjoy reading the strip daily. Currently I have a link for Scott Kurtz’s site on the links area of this blog. In case you …

Giant Squid
Man, you should read about the giant squid at National Geographic. They got some pictures of it. The thing is about 25 feet or 8 meters. It was found in the North Pacific Ocean. Anyway, check it out.

Aftermath of Rita
Well, Rita was a bit of a dud as far as hurricanes go. I am still glad we got ready just in case it was no dud. I do not have much more to say on this subject except that going without A/C always sucks. Well, I gotta finish getting ready for work. Lates…

Hurricane Rita
Well, my wife and I live on the other side of Houston but that is no guarantee that we will be safe. I think we will plan for it to hit just in case it does. As of this writing it is a category 4 which is pretty harsh. I do remember going through Hurricane …

Ozzfest 2005
To be short, it was fun. My sister Sherie, my Nephew Charlie, and my Niece’s husband Richard went with me to Ozzfest yesterday. We got there a little after 10a or so even though it started at 9a. It was very hot so I was drinking water most of the day. I watched some of …

Broken toe and Ozzy
Well, my toe seems to be doing better. I also got some new shoes that might not cause pain like steel-toed ones do. From what my nephew Charlie said, we will be up there the entire day. All I know is that I am going there specifically to see Ozzy so I do not care …

Broken parts
You know, normally I am very sure footed on stairs, but this past Sunday night I fell down the last 4 or 5 steps at home. What really did not help matters is that I landed on both knees and my toes on my right foot. The knees are ok but my big toe on …

Return to Oz
I was poking through the Internet Movie Database recently and came across a movie I saw in the 80’s. It is as the above title suggests, Return to Oz. It came out in 1985. I remember being slightly spooked as it was not the same type of movie as the 1939 Wizard of Oz. With …

Been busy
We have been a bit busy these past couple of weeks working on seperating the Houston branches from the San Antonio ones. I think it came out ok even with a lot of little odds and ends to take care of.

Fantastic Four
A few weeks ago or so my wife and I went to see the movie Fantastic Four. While I know they deviated from certain specifics it was overall a decent movie. They made it look like it could happen and how the people reacted to them when they were found out was rather good. Anyway, …

Ozzy Concert
Next month I will be going to the Ozzy concert. It is on a Saturday which is cool. They will be coming to Houston during that time and it may be Ozzy’s last time as he is getting on in the years. You never know when it will be his last year of doing it.

Fourth of July
Man, the years go by quickly. Not much to say about this coming July 4th. I just plan to relax and eat some food. I get Monday off since I work for a bank so that’s all good. I may say more later.

A Very Moving song
I recently went to this web site: http://www.nickcannonmusic.com/ I usually do not like to listen to this type of music as it normally talks about shooting people and doing other messed up stuff but I found that the song “Can I Live?” by Nick Cannon to be a moving song, rap, or whatever. He does …

Always so busy
You know, I noticed something today. Time just goes by way too fast. I don’t know if it just seems that way or my mind is going more so I do not remember much of what happens. You never know, at least I don’t. 🙂 When it rains it pours is so very true, it …

Houston’s Mayor
I for one am a bit tired of some of the crap that this ass monkey is doing. Below is a link to his most recent scheme to ‘improve’ the city. http://www.bloghouston.net/item/1286 At first this guy seemed ok for the most part. Now with all the money wasting and attempts to “boost revenues” with some …
