adventure

Well, there I was clamoring for adventure in a recent post, and now's my chance. Someone who is running the U.S. Hang Gliding Championships in Big Spring (West Texas) offered me a glide if I came out there August 7-13. It's because we had the dates wrong on the events calendar page of our website. He called me to fix it because I am the lowest guy at work right now, being the n00b, the scrub, etc. Anyway, he said he remembers what it's like to be the bottom rung, and told me they'd launch me 1,000 feet in the air if I wanted to. So, anyone want to head out to West Texas on Aug. 12-13 and go hang gliding??

life tip

Scallops are not a meal

stream of consciousness

When did Academy change from "The right stuff, the right price" to "the right stuff the LOW price?"

Life tip: If you wait until 11pm to eat dinner, you can have Whataburger taquitos.

You also won't miss any of prime time.

I haven't had anything for dessert in this apartment for several days. My sweet tooth is acting up.

Many of my thoughts are food related. I'm a hedonist at heart, especially considering what the REST of my thoughts are about.

Like I'm really going to buy Q-tips to NOT insert them into the ear canal. Nice try, box label, but I don't need your rules.

Adventure? Adventure? sigh...

new for its own sake

Simply trying to keep the content coming, even if it is a slow day in my life. Slow week. I've got the first wedding of the summer coming up Saturday, to be followed by a couple more later. 4 weddings before the year is out....maybe 5. And 3 of the couples went to A&M. What is it about Aggies and gettin' hitched?

I know everyone goes through it, but I'm at the age where my friends are getting married. It's pretty strange. Really strange. I don't know what I think about the whole institution. Is it realistic? Outdated? Meaningless? Vital to society? Vital to families? All these questions, and I don't expect to have much perspective on them until I'm in a position where marriage is a possibility.

Anyway, no one knows what the future holds, but my friends have all found great people to wed. I hope they last and enrich each other's lives.

Shit I still have to get a gift. i know what marriage is. It's a scam.

body wars

Anyone ever see that DisneyWorld ride film? I don't remember it being very good. Anyway, I am at war with my body, trying to get adjusted to the 9-5 schedule of a working man. It still hasn't happened. I don't fall asleep until 12 or 1, and get up around 7. It leaves me a little more tired every day. Today I had to take the show tape to Ft. Worth, and that was a struggle to stay awake. I ended up calling Chewy for the last 10 minutes of the drive to keep from dying. Thanks. I don't know what it is about me. I'm not tired enough at bedtime, but then I can't even keep my head up at 4pm. And of course waking up in the morning is tough, but come on, who ever wants to wake up in the mornings? If I knew what alcohol was, and I had a tattoo, I'd be a bartender.

cheerios

I spilled Frosted Cheerios on the carpet. Don't worry, I was able to get most of them up before the 10 second rule expired. Not much of a disaster, really. No milk, since it was a little fun pack. Everything is a-ok now.

In case you are wondering, I work 5 or 6 days a week. Then I play videogames. Then I go to bed. Then I repeat. And, until further notice, the job is going the same as it always has been. If I ever get to do anything real, or learn anything new about TV production, I'll let ya know.

A blanket invite to all of my friends - You'll always have a place to stay in Dallas.
