Summer Time!!

Time to shed the layers and get ready for the POOL!!! O my am I so pumped up to go swimming today. Moreover, I am pumped to go to Wakarusa for the second year in a row. This year I am going with my little brother Henri, who came to Bonnaroo with me as well in 2008. There is just something about going to festivals that is magical. Recently my friend Jenna went to her first, New Orleans Jazz fest, she got to see MMJ and Better than Ezra. When she came back to reality, aka Dallas, she just couldnt keep it in about how much fun she had, how nice the people were, and the pure joy that everyone is experiencing.

On top of all the amazing people that will attend Wakarusa some of the best bands out there will be jamming out. Disco Biscuits, STS9, EOTO, Umphrey's McGee, Widespread Panic, etc etc. The list goes on forever. What you can count on is that nothing is strange. People wear costumes, shave heads, dye hair, paint themselves, walk around half naked, on and on.

My favorite of all though is the dancing. People are just dancing all over the place, in their own way, however the music is moving them. Me personally I stomp around, people move the hell out of the way, and vaboom! I have my own area to kick it without all the elbows and little kids asking me to hookem up.

To all those going to Wakarusa, see you soon! To all those that have never been to a festival, start with ACL, SXSW or Jazz Fest. That way you dont have to deal with camping, and all the 'weirdos' walking around.

be happy!

Punk Ass Bitches

Everyday I log on and check the Dallas Morning News as well as CNN FoxNews and the likes. Everyday I am just as surprised as the last.

Kids just throwing their life away for a quick score. Last year 2 teens in the are killed a man leaving his Christian recording studio and made $2. Not a typo, they killed a man over $2. You can panhandle and make more money in an hour. Recently a bunch of punk kids, who happen to be latino, killed a gas station attendant when he left to deposit money in the bank. 4 kids 21, 18, 17 and a juvenile have just thrown their life away.

How long did these kids think about this for? Did they really think they could get away? I mean they got caught because it was an inside job, did the idiot not realize there are cameras in his place of work? what an IDIOT!

These are the people that need to just be shot! I'm dead serious there are too many dickheads, douche bags, punks that think they are entitled to having the best life and living like Jay-Z or Snoop Dogg.

What is most annoying is that they dont even try to work hard to make money so that one day they might be the next Gangster Rapper, or movie producer, or whatever they idolize. They see this crap on MTV or whatever shitty station this douchbags watch these days and tell them selves 'see man with a piece we can do anything.' Well if that do anything means go to jail like an idiot, cool that is just fine by me.

Keep the world a better place, for us all. I have no intention in bringing a kid up in this fucked up place where people murder for money instead of work, you dont even have to work hard. Go to MacD's or better yet Whataburger ( i go there quite a bit, so ull be in business for sure).

Change

Simply all there is to it. I need some change. Not sure what it is exactly, but my life has become way too stagnant for me. Probably has something to do with working for a company that employs too many people, making any kind of raise or promotion improbable unless there is some spike in sales. Fat chance of that happening with the economy the way it is.

I thought I was going to be able to pull some strings and shabam a job would fall out of the sky, but no luck so far. Have talked to a lot of good people and been pushed/nudged in the right direction; however, the more I think about it, the more I realize I need adventure, I need different, I need new. Was able to get in touch with an old friend of mine (thank you Facebook!) that works in the mountains of Colorado, and bam here we go!

For the next month or so that is going to be my concentration as living in Colorado would be o so beautiful, and would at least quench my thirst for another year or so.

PS: living on the mountains and close to Red Rocks for a year would make my life!

WOAH!!!!!

So ive taken a nice leave of absence, and im back now due to some RIDICULOUS events that transpired over the weekend. A little background: Derek and I had a falling out and have not seen each other since... time frame has to be somewhere in the many moons category. So after leaving the super weak dunk contest at the ASG this year friends and I went to a bar to meet up with more friends and continue the evenings festivities.
Who do I run into but Derek at this bar... of course, he is hanging out with all the friends I introduced him to way back when. That in itself is kind of funny, at least to me. Any who, after hanging outside with everyone for a bit I had to go inside to relieve myself. What happens as I open the door to go inside you ask yourself? BAM!!! Beer bottle misses my head by inches and just breaks everywhere right as the bar tender was walking outside. So not only is the bartender upset, but i want to know what the hell that was all about!! When confronted, Derek responds with "if I wanted to hit you with the beer bottle I would have!!" Ha, what to do, but just laugh at that. So i told him if he wanted to hit me so bad, he could just punch me in the face like a man instead of throwing something at me while I have my back turned.
Not sure why, but we all had to leave the bar. Thankfully my friend Bobby lives 2min walking from the bar, so after calming down and closing out we head there to just hang out. Of course who is there causing problems, Derek. In the little while it took me to close out and get over there Bobby's mom had been pushed/shoved to some degree, and a girl got hit in the face, not too hard... but still its the point, all by Derek.
So as everyone begins to ask this guy what the hell gives that he is pushing a 50yo woman with MS and striking a girl in the face accidental or not he seems me pull up and again challenges me to a fight of some sort. At this point I still had my cool and I simply told him there is nothing for me at least to fight about, so with the advice of my friends I go inside to hangout and just keep the peace.
After deciding this was just a ridiculous way to spend a saturday night I went back outside to see what was going on, and this guy hasnt calmed down a bit. After some verbal sparing and him taking a swing at me that breaks my glasses a couple of us decide to leave.... this is where it gets good.
After Bobby, who's father is dead, helped keep the peace this whole time, Derek decides to insult him in this classy way: "Your father would rather be with the Devil than with your whore mother." At this point Bobby and Derek get into fisticuffs, with a couple window panes breaking, a couple fence boards getting broken. More importantly though Derek runs away like a little girl rocking the cyclops look because his eye was so swollen shut from Bobby beating his.
