Under-Pacid

There is an under-pass in San Antonio that is unbelievable. This Ghostland-themed passageway just doesn't seem to make sense to me. Isn't this distracting to drivers? It distracted me from 100 yards away, and kept me in a trance as I tried to navigate through it ON FOOT! Is this a joke? Downtown, where all the drunks are???

Wait, maybe it's a trap. These light DO look an awful lot like police lights, and honestly had me thinking I was getting arrested (much later in the night). Maybe the cops have created this psychedelic-trance-trap in order to catch drunk drivers? Red and Blue in the rear view = hurry, turn left, get the hell out of here. The cops must wait near by, and look for suspicious activity. No?

Maybe it's just an artsy expression with lights in an under-pass. Well that's ridiculous! It amazes me that the city would allow something like this, but hey, it is San Antonio.

Team Spirit

Soooo, there has been TONS of drama about Texas Tech firing Mike Leach. Of course, I am upset about it, but I am beginning to think that some fans are taking it a little too far.

Leach is an offensive genius. He led the Red Raiders through TEN CONSECUTIVE winning seasons, FIVE Bowl wins, ended up 53-11 home at the Jones, recruited balls, and coached the biggest comeback in NCAA Division1 bowl game history!!! Many people have gone as far as to say that he is one of the best College football coaches in the nation. Though said to be a quacky drunk, he has proven that his atypical coaching tactics seem to work. His whole pirate/angry thing is different, and fun, but that's all Mike Leach.... NOT Texas Tech.

I don't wanna paint the wrong picture here, I was PISSED at first too. I made death threats on Adam James, left Gerald Myers an ass-roasting voicemail, and I even went as far as to say I was embarrassed of my Alma Mater. I also think I drunkenly yelled that I wasn't going to watch the Alamo Bowl because I was so fired up about it, but I didn't mean it.

I went to San Antonio, I saw the T-shirts, the posters, heard the Leach-chants, and it honestly saddened me a little bit. People began to forget that there are about 150 other people who ALSO bust their asses, dedicate hours of time, and work every day in an attempt to push Texas Tech towards kicking ass. The players, most importantly, need support more than ever. Their worlds are in chaos, and they are well aware that all anyone cares about is Leach leaving, and the future of the program. Everyone made damn sure of that. How about a million posters about leach in the stands, but not one about any sort of TEAM SPIRIT! ESPN stalked Adam James on the sidelines like nobody's business, and it was all you heard about the whole weekend. Bottom line is... fans everywhere supported a man, NOT a football team. Sad.

What our administration did was crappy, but it's done. It is what it is. We are going to have a new coach, but that doesn't change anything else about Texas Tech Football. Sure, depending on the dude, we might lose some recruiting umph, and have a rough time getting started back up..... but that's all the more reason that they need their FANS!!! That's what you are... a F'ing Texas Tech Football Fan! Act like it!

mexican-whore-pigeon

You would believe my jaw-dropping astonishment as I walked outside to find my car COVERED in bird shit. I have touched this hot stove before, and I should have thought before I parked under a ginormous tree. BUT!!! This was not your every day, bread-crumb-eating, here n' there, white-ish, dried and terd-like bird shit. This was oily-tar, drip n' smeared, party butt, greenish-black, mexican-whore-pigeon bird shit. I can't get this taken care of in a drive thru. When I pay someone to clean this, they are not really going to be too giggity about scrubbing it off. WTF!?!

I would have loved to use the term "Shit Storm" in this one, but that was coined by my refreshingly wonderful former roomie :)

Welcome to the Future! Part II

I got the new version of Monopoly for Christmas, and was saddened to see that they changed the game pieces! No more top hat, iron, or thimble.... it's the future now! There's a freakin' handbag with a well dressed shnorki-doodle in it! What is this world coming to!?! Don't get it twisted, I LOVE Segways, spaceships and flat-screens, but it's still weird. Just another one of those things that makes you think, "wow, this is the future!!!"

Finger Nose Eye

Holy Hotdogs!!! I was researching for a piece about doing "the-one-eye", and I found this.... HAD to share it! Sick!

Today in History: January 4

1885: The 1st successful appendectomy was performed.... couldn't find much cool stuff about today, so get out there and make somthing happen people!!!!

Guitar Hero

I think Guitar Hero is cool and all, but shouldn't be taken to the extreme. I went through a GH phase, and it was pretty serious. I played for hours, all day and night, until my brain hurt. (Consequently, I was a freakin' Bad Ass) I tried all of the songs, but had a few choice picks that I rocked on repeat in the quest for perfection. After a couple weeks, Guitar Hero got old, and I honestly don't think I've picked up a guitar since. Bringing me to my point, I was sitting in traffic today, and one of my championship tracks came on! Killer Queen, by Queen. I have always LOVED that song! But nowwwwwww, I can NEVER enjoy it because of Guitar Hero!!! How can I sing the lyrics while my brain is chanting, "GreenGreenBlue RedRed Blue YellowGreen, Blue RedRed"???? SO FRUSTRATING! It's crazy how after probably... 3 years... that I still have that in my head. Especially, because it's like I memorized the way that the colors correlate with the notes of the song, when I have NO musical knowledge. Hmmmmmm, weird.
