It’s that time of year

Well, Thanksgiving came and went with only my stomach aching along the way. Christmas will be along in no time and it may be a little slim this year, presents wise, but that is fine. As long as I have my family and friends I am good to go. Not much else is happening. Work …

Baby update

Well, I know our kiddo is not too far along yet but the ultrasound pictures are showing our child as developing well. I am hoping to have all of the pictures uploaded to pictures.smock.com soon and plan to try and keep it updated with new pictures as it gets closer to ‘go time’. I know …

Our Little Hurricane

Well, that is sort of what the kiddo looks like so far on the ultrasounds, at least according to my Father. Every day I tend to think about the fact that my wife is pregnant and how happy we will be to corrup…err, raise a kid.

Great news everyone

It seems that our attempts at conception did not go unrewarded thankfully. We have been trying for a while and I am glad it finally happened. I really do not care if our kid is a boy or girl. I cannot wait until I can corrup…err, teach our child in the ways of being a …

A few people I miss

I do not normally go much into topics of real personal value but I think I will for this post. I was looking at my Grandpa Smock’s tribute site because my father updated it by using a picture gallery software and I wanted to see how it was going. It did get me thinking of …

Whoa

It has been a little while since I have done any posting to the blog. When I have not been busy I have been tired of doing too much with computers. I know that sounds scary if you know me, but I am doing better now. I updated some of the software running houstonjuggalos.com. It …

Been a little while

It seems that I have been too busy with life to drop a post or two. Well, I will update on a few things that I have done in the time of this lack of posting. One thing that I have done is get a smaller computer case instead of the server case I was …

Not much to say…or too much

This seems to be the first post of the new year. It took me a little while to get something typed. Well, I have been busy working hard and finding time for spending time with the wife. My IPod is still chugging along. I do not even have 10 gig used yet of the 30 available. …

Web upgrades aplenty

Well, I finally got my Niece’s gallery upgraded to the newest version. She was using Gallery 1. She is now using Gallery 2. I also set up one of my nephews with a Gallery 2 set up of his own. For my Niece, Jessica, it is http://seeker.theuncle.com/ For my Nephew, Charlie, it is http://chucknasty.theuncle.com/ It …

Job hunting and fence building

Well, I have found a job. It is with Wells Fargo. I think it will be an interesting job and looks like a fun challenge. On a side note, the fence is done and looks nice. I am glad I had help from my father or it would never have been finished or even much …

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 …

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 …

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 …

No A/C and no beer make Jacob go something, something…

I am on a roll this week with my entries. Anyway, I think it was Tuesday night our A/C went out. I never remember the house getting as hot as it has gotten these past few days. Even with the windows open and almost everything that generates heat being turned off it still is horrible. …

Those Sonic punks

One thing I have noticed is that Sonic decided to get stingy with their cherries on their mixed cherry flavored drinks. The last few times that I have been there I have had to specifically request it or say something after they bring the drink out. I know it sounds petty but I get more …

Houston’s Metro scumbags

I have never been a fan of Metro for more than a few reasons. From what I have seen, they have sunk to a new low. Check out what it says on BlogHouston.net I think was really makes me mad is that they refuse to recant on their idiotic decision to not bring actual security …

1 Year Anniversary

On the 24th it will have been one year since my wife and I tied the knot. It has been an interesting year and I hope of many more. I love my wife very much and am glad she has tolerated my weird nature for as long as she has. Anyway, gotta go…

‘Aging’ by a 26 year old

You know you wonder where time goes when you think about how long ago you graduated high school. I happened to graduate in 1997. What kind of scares me is that I remember it like it was yesterday and I have trouble remember what I actually did yesterday. All kidding aside, I have never been …

Grandpa Smock…I miss him…

Oh yeah, when you get a chance check out the tribute site my father has been working on about his father. Some of his siblings have been submitting their own stories and I might put pen to the preverbal paper myself soon. Here is the link http://rip.smock.com/ Yes, there is a story behind the ‘Rip’ …
