HATS OFF TO SAN ANTONE!!

2007-12-21T08:35:00.000-06:00

I know Austin is supposed to be the live music capitol and I love my city and all, but i have yet to see a show in Austin with half the energy that was displayed last night at the White Rabbit in San Antonio. The band definitely thrived off of it and the show was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be. Good Hard! The crowd stayed movin,singing, jumping and moshing from the first song to the last. I have to say that I was a little suprised to see so many chicks singing Tyler at the top of their lungs, as if they didn't know the song is about stalking and rape, but I think they did.

I THINK I'M DUMB.........

2007-12-15T01:13:00.000-06:00

I'm absolutely retarded with delight about going to see the Toadies in San Antonio next week. I'll holla and let you know how Groovy it was.

PURE TALENT!

Saw Nickel Creek @ Stubbs last night and it was stellar! They busted out some Jackson 5 as well as Brittney Spear's Toxic. Unbelievable! The first time I heard them was on A Prarie Home Companion radio show about 8 years ago. I was sittiing in a 5'x9' in Huntsville listening on a twelve dollar clock radio...and I was amazed then. How awesome it was to be standing outside in the beautiful evening in the middle of Austin seeing them live.

DECISIONS

2007-11-09T08:48:00.000-06:00

The hardest decision I've had to make in the last six months, or maybe even more, was wether to go see Mutemath @ LaZonaRosa or Deke Dickerson & Crazy Joe @ The Continental last night. I came very close to choosing Deke & Joe since I've seen the Mutemath show twice already, but not for a second ,as I stood there in LaZonaRosa so full of energy my head almost exploded, did I question my decision. I'm sure the other show was Great as well, I'm just glad Mutemath left me with absolutely no reason to even ponder if possibly another show could have been better. They were at the top of their game last night and have now added three screens behind them as they play.( as if they needed something to enhance their performance). I would go see that show for breakfast this morning if I could.

ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME!?!?

2007-10-04T20:29:00.000-06:00

Kenny freakin Lofton, Man!!! This old dude kicked the Yankees ass tonight! Anybody who was playing baseball when I was in High School should be retired now! Heck, Anybody who was playing baseball before I went to prison in 92' should be thinking about retiring!

NERDABILLY!

2007-09-28T07:01:00.000-06:00

Much thanks to Jesse & Danielle Saunders for turning me on to Deke Dickerson and "Crazy Joe" at the Continental last Saturday.
It was definitely an EXPERIENCE, and those are always the best kind of shows. If you love some guitar shredding, you must check this Cat out!!!

LISTEN UP!!

2007-08-14T21:02:00.001-06:00

OK Folks, Listen up!! Go to nugs.net (I don't know how to put the dealio in there to shoot you straight to the link so just do it yourself). Click on FREE STASH in the uper right hand corner and then click on the Grateful Dead. Go to 10/18/1978 at the Winterland Arena in San Fran California. Either listen or down load it. The first set is AWESOME!! The second set is even better!! you may have to push yourself through a few songs since you're probably not on three hits of acid but it is SO well worth it. "drums"may be hard for some of you squares to get through, but get through it and listen to the last 4 songs of the second set. SOME OF THE BEST LIVE MUSIC EVER RECORDED!!!!
Seriously, if you don't listen to it I'm gonna smash your face...especially Kyle and Jesse........and Aaron...and Kayla..and Casey.

See!

That stuff is real, Dawg. I haven't posted in over a month in order to let things get smooth with the Baseball gods.
Let's just be clear, I'm totally not talking smack, just stating how thankful I am that we are only a few games out of
the Wild-Card.

BASEBALL MOJO

2007-06-27T06:26:00.000-06:00

If you haven't believed in Baseball mojo/karma before, you may now go ahead and believe. The Yankees have won only one game since my post about them still being in the hunt. It's totally my fault, along with everyone else who started talking smack too early.

STILL SWINGIN'

2007-06-19T07:19:00.001-06:00

Don't count them Yankees out yet!! That's right all you Boston fans, go ahead and staart looking over your shoulder cause here we come.

NOT JUST HATS OFF...

2007-05-09T07:19:00.000-06:00

Not just HATS off, but everything off to Dr.Cox and the entire Labor and Delivery staff (especially Nurse Melanie Polk) at Seton Medical Center. These folks were on top of things on the morning of May 3rd and responded super quick when an unexpected emergency situation arose with our unborn at about 5:25am. Thanks to this Team at SETON our little girl was brought safely into this world at 5:33am. That's why I'm taking off more than just a hat and I would like for you to do the same. You don't have to get out of everything right this moment, but next time you're getting down to your birthday suit ( getting in the shower or whatever), just say, "here's to the Labor & Delivery Night Shift at SETON Central". Thanks for your participation.
And thanks to GOD too, who worked everything out so that we would actually be there in the Hospital when this emergency occurred.

CHIPOTLE or CHIPOLTE ??

2007-04-30T08:08:00.000-06:00

I've been a bit confused about this for some time. I know the name of the burrito joint owned by McDonalds is Chipotle, but I've seen menus at restaurants which spell it with the L before the T.Chipolte, and folks often say it that way. I've also seen recipes which have it spelled with the L first. Well, this morning I finally found out the corrrect way and I'm looking forward to correcting people on this when the opportunity comes along. If y'all will join me on this, hopefully within a few short years we can have this common mistake eradicated.

Etymology

The word chipotle, which was also sometimes spelled chilpoctle and chilpotle, comes to English originally from the Nahuatl word chilpoctli by way of Mexican Spanish. The Nahuatl word chilpoctli means "smoked chile", formed from chil (="chile pepper") + poctli (="smoke"). The original Nahuatl word was spelled "pochilli" and has apparently become reversed. Today it is commonly misspelled and mispronounced as chipolte, an error of metathesis. Other early spellings from Mexico are tzilpoctil, tzonchilli and texochilli. The most common pronunciation is chee-POHT-lay, although some of those who are aware of this word's Nahuatl roots prefer the more historical pronunciation chee-POHT-til. Some Mexicans refer to chipotles as chile poctle.

AND BY THE WAY....

LOVE WINS

2007-04-23T07:00:00.000-06:00

WOW, maybe love really does win! Last night we had the Saunders over to watch the Yanks and the Sox. Incase you didn't know, they are Red Sox fans and we are Yankee fans. I knew there was a good chance this could be a humbling expereience, since the Yankess already lost the first two games of the series and Dice-K was going for the Sox. Did I just invite a Red Sox fan over to watch the Yankees get swept?? Yes I did..and let me tell you, when the Yanks were up 3-0 and all of a sudden their young pitcher decides to start throwing batting practice, giving up 4 home runs IN A ROW....(Yes, that's Back to Back to Back to Back),
Good ol' Jesse showed me much mercy by refraining from jumping up and down in my living room.I wonder if I would have been as merciful.
I can still hear Joe Morgan telling John Miller..."I've never seen anything like that before, John...I've never seen four home runs in a row." Unfreakingbelievable!

STRANGE CONTRAST

2007-04-19T15:56:00.000-06:00

Just yesterday I could not turn on anything, my TV, radio or,computer without seeing or hearing about the VT shooting...

...And today I'm seeing and hearing about nothing else but this Sanjaya character. Even on ESPN radio for crying out loud.

OK, I know that no one has really forgotten, it was just a strange contrast from one day to the next. Seeing everyone so engulfed by what happened at VT and then hearing about all the people who were fighting back tears when Sanjaya was voted off American Idol last night. Maybe it's a good thing that we don't let tragedy keep us from enjoying the things we normally do? Maybe we should be ashamed? Who knows?
There's enough tragedy everyday that if we paused for it all the time we would just be stuck on pause I suppose.
