What the hell happened? I went from well ripped to well rumped. Bleah. Time to do something about it. I got off my running schedule back in March with the pneumonia and have been putting it off. Well, my waistband is saying hello, and my scale is saying I gained 2 lbs a month since then. So I hereby make myself publicly accountable on wahines diet blog site. My long term goal is twenty pounds down and reassess from there. Short term? Five in november. As to my waist size, ain't saying. ...

Okay, spring forward, fall over, right? Something like that. Don't forget to change your clocks this Sunday. Otherwise, you'll boss will be happy with you come Monday, but you'll be having a sucky halloween 'cause you went to work an hour early. You get an extra hour back, so when you go to bed, if it's 10, set the clock for 9. Or whatever, but set your clocks one hour earlier than it already is. Now you'll be able to get up and go to church on time. Heck, you could even sleep in a bit, an...

Today is the mother of all days. I finally interviewed for the elementary music position in Killeen. The principal was nice. She has cats. I have cats. Cool. Meow. I don't know. My interview this time was a little more rambling than the last, and I had some questions that I honestly had to plead ignorance or inexperience to. "So what do you think of the pedagogical methods like Kodaly and Orff?" Oh shit. I think I haven't looked at them for six years. I babble nonesense that shows I know w...

So being the points person of negotiable affection that I am, I just checked the top blog sites.........WHAT!!!!!!???? I'm being beat out by a f--king bot. Damned freaking Casino advertisement is keeping me off the first page at #21. That's right, an advertisement for casinos is more popular than I am. Sigh...............now I know how Bob Dole feels.

Just picked up a copy of My War today. I got turned onto Colby Buzzell by psuedosoldier about idunno, six months ago? He's a skater out of the san fran area that joined up after 9/11, and ended up in "the shit" in Mosul, as part of a Stryker brigade. He posted amazing blogs, filling you in as everything happened. I followed him for maybe a month, and then he started erasing everything. His cadre found out and starting pissing about and looking over his shoulder in the name of OPSEC, so he ...

Oy. This is what I get for being too happy earlier. So I go to pick up my tranny jack today. Hmmm. I go to the parts house, whoops missed my turn, u-turn, go back.....shit, the road's blocked off. I do some fancy maneuvering, and..........closed for lunch. Huh? At 2:00 in the afternoon? No to be deterred, so I hop back into the wife's neon......hmmm I'm hearing grinding when I brake. Not good, I'm gonna have to do the brakes later. Hope she didn't grind the rotor's too bad. I go to cash...

One thing the army taught me, that I always try to live by, is "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is." And today, I'm living the vida loco, boyo. Okay, so I'm fixing something that is broke, but maybe I'll break the good one too. I haven't driven my mustang in about three months, because it has a burnt out band in the transmission. I hope. For those of you that don't speak grease monkey, burnt out band = pretty damned bad. If it's not that, it's something that won't even let me rebuild...

Another enlightening experience with the local phone service. Here in the Killeen area the area code is 254. No problem, except everything from Waco, (1.5 hours to the northeast) to damned near Round Rock (1 hour southeast) is the same code. Some is long distance, some local. So today I dial a number, not knowing it's local. "We're sorry, but you do not have to dial 254 when dialing this number. Please hang up the phone and try again." WTF? Obviously it's already being processed by the com...

Okay, you're here, so listen up, all you primitive screwheads. I've got a little game for you. How many of Bruce Campbell's films/tv appearances/credits of whatever can you remember off the top of your head? Feel free to look it up, but please have some pride. No posts if you imdb or google whack him. If you look it up, you're done. Thank you, and remember.....shop smart, shop s-mart.
