Some Day Somebody’s Gonna Ask You, A Question That You Should Say Yes To December 30, 2006 No Comments

Today was the wedding where Manuelabor and the Lacinator got married. Two very special people, a very special event, and I was felt honored to partake in the day. Let’s just call Manuelabor ‘the iceman,’ Mr. He wasn’t nervous at all. The Diz and I headed up Friday, and stayed thru Sunday at The LaSalle [...]

His Heart was Stronger Than a Heavy Metal Bullet, That’s Why I Dedicate This Song December 27, 2006 2 Comments

Time for top 10 of the year, random notes of things I learned about music this year, The Hollywood Bowl is the sh*t, SXSW is in a league of its own, and this was the first year I got to check it out in style, and the grassroots sh*t going on in Austin with music [...]

XMAS-06 December 24, 2006 No Comments

The site of this year’s Bruns Family Xmas celebration, the big suburban home of Debra and Shannon. While the other Houston fools were evacuating from Hurrican Rita, Shannon and Debra understood the logic in it all, and they stayed put. Gavin was clillin out this year, I got him an ‘ugly doll’ , I’m hoping [...]

Click My Heels Get the Devils In Line December 20, 2006 No Comments

On this day, I sneekily hopped into the Prometric Testing Center and passed my PM* Exam. Sis has been waiting for my ‘braggin blog post’ forever, so here goes. PMI has rigid standards on ‘Codes of Conduct,’ and don’t really mention blogs, so I don’t know what is ethical to post about or not. The [...]

25 Dead Bodies — Diehard and The Alamo Drafthouse December 16, 2006 No Comments

Talk about a strange drinking game, O God Why, that’s what you get when you mix a bucket of Stella, The Sinus Show, and Bruce Willis’s movie ‘Die Hard’ at your local bada$$ Alamo Drafthouse. To give it a Christmas feel, every time Bruce would knock off one of the terrorists, we’d have to sing [...]

I Sailed a Wild, Wild Sea, Climbed Up a Tall, Tall Mountain I Met and Old, Old Man Beneath A Weeping Willow Tree December 14, 2006 No Comments

You know what that old man told me?He said now if you got some questions, go and lay them at my feet, but my time here is brief, so you’ll have to pick just three.Here’s what I asked –What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart, and how can a man like [...]

When You Don’t Look Back I Guess the Feelings Start to Fade Away December 13, 2006 No Comments

Letting Go of God, man this is a smart woman, who I enjoy reading on a daily basis. ‘Letting Go,’ what a topic, weather its a spiritual being, a special person in your life, or just a bad habit. Spiritual – Julia explains it much better than me – Bad Habit – Mike P quit [...]

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Wie treu sind deine Blätter! December 12, 2006 No Comments

If you can’t tie a not, tie a lot….That’s what the Christmas Tree dude said to us as we tied the tree to the top of the minivan. He said they grow 4,000 feet up in the mountains of North Carolina. How’s that for some salesmanship. I have no idea why, but going to pick [...]

I Search for Comfort and I Find it Where I’ve Found it Many Times Before, Times Before Can Be Forgotten December 10, 2006 No Comments

This is the eating joint in my hometown, it looks like a Masonic or Elks Lodge. Dead Animals on the wall, crazy booths that don’t really seem to belong, and that time of the year, the dreaded Christmas lights. Eyes Wide Shut ruined me for Christmas lights, every time I see colored lights, it puts [...]

Here I Go Again on My Own, Goin’ Down the Only Road I’ve Ever Known December 9, 2006 No Comments

I always knew I was a little girly girl, or princess, or insert other panzified word here, but it takes the cake when ‘the gang’ set me up and bring an 8 foot long python into the picture. Just listen to the screams, how pathetic.
