As mundane as I think baseball is to watch, I find myself at the ballpark more often than I’d like. I sat near some idiot savants who could rattle off mission stats and still blow the annoying air horn. The San Antonio Missions, lead by their mascot ‘Ballapeno’ beat the team from Midland in a [...]
I once lived with a gal named Queen Bee, one of the most strong willed females I know. Well, once I thought about it in my head, what would happen if I said to her, ‘bring me a beer b*tch’, and then shortly after that the thoughts to me pulling shards of glass out of [...]
More pictures of San Antonio. Maybe the scariest road I’ve ever travelled down. Alamo street under a convergence of roads. Feels a bit international here, with the soccer. I like it. An old Lone Star facility, I wish they’d all go out of business. I’ve learned to stick a lime in em’ if i have [...]
The Internet to me has always been a strange and wondrous land. Lots of money has been made by just pure hype, and it is often hard to decipher what is over-inflated and what is the real deal.

There is a phrase in the computer geek world called ‘the impedance mismatch.’ Tight meaning means something like when you take ‘relational databases’ and ‘object oriented business logic’ and make them work and play together. It’s a big time challenge to organize and integrate these two areas of programming, and in my days of programming, [...]
My long time great friend Marty and his lovely wife Julie are set to have a baby, and tis’ the time for baby showers. Marty is person I grew up with, a person I was a wide receiver with in football, a guy I spent numerous evenings with in college watching Bevis and Butthead, and [...]
Me and the Major, a song by Belle and Sebastian describes the status of my emotions these days, I’m living in a world where I don’t fit in, but like what any survivor does, they survive (wow, did that last sentence sounds like GW Bush or what?) Every night I come home while I live [...]
Lots of crazy antics today, and even more pictures. JR, Today the birthday boy, 47 candles on that cake, looks like it’s gonna set the house in flames, boy we had to light those suckas quick! Here’s all the hoodlums that showed up, great times, check out that expression on Gavin’s face. Only one not [...]
Always epic nights at the Shimek residence, Casey, Mr Marty Shimkek, and Dustin.
The more I push San Antonio, the more it pulls away. I had a great morning I intend to blog about soon, I met some local color, and was humbled in a lot of ways. However, entertainment value thus far has been covers of Metallicock, Seven Mary Three, STP, Three Doors Down and other alt-rock [...]
