Music is my outlet.  Always has been.  It's always bothered me just a bit that I've never had any musical talent.  But if I can't produce it, I can listen to it.  I can get lost in it.  It's a distraction at the gym, makes those long work days bearable and traffic less stressful.  More importantly, music's gotten me through many stressful situations in my life.  It's one of the most effective ways I can escape.  I can stop thinking.  I can be happy. Rock's my drug of choice but there's little I don't like.  Still, there's nothing like good, hard rock to exorcise those inner demons. 

After a long day like today, I love being able to relax to music, maybe watch some music videos on YouTube.  Sit back and relax as the stress fades away.  Not tonight though.  This music video will probably bring nightmares tonight.

2011 Texas Husi Meet? 

May? 

Austin? 

Discuss.

I'm not one to burn bridges.  My soon-to-be-ex is torching them. 

His two favorite things in one post, puppies and military gear. 

So a Czech artist just trolled Europe (with photos)

Ah, God bless the news media.   Ranking well below a bunch of inane emails from the media's favorite punching bag/martyr and text messages from the world's worst train engineer, but well above the damage and lives lost in recent hurricanes was this little gem. 

A conversation with my boss:

Boss:  We need to load the new software today.  Here's the updated proceedures to verify the software load.

Me:  Where's the software?

Boss:  S'posed to be on the data warehouse, dunno since our network is down. 

Me:  Well how do I get the software if we can't access it?

Boss:  Make magic happen! 

What is with the 40 year old women with the bodies of 20 year olds and the faces of 60 year olds?  Everywhere you turn?

Anyone know anything about real estate law?

...to make me a smear on the ceiling 60' above, and it occurs to me I didn't see that part in the job description.

Has it been that long?

You know what's below...

Nothing else to see here - move along.

I leave in an hour for the wedding rehersal.  Bought this time tomorrow I'll be married. 

8 days, 18 hours remain...

But who's counting?

Damn, the Cards scared me for a few days.  I have to give Houston a lot of credit for the season they had. It's sad to see such a spirited team end their season.  But Go Cards!!! 

The lady that sits behind me at work came from Houston.  She's been a bit obnoxious during this series.  I just saw a few coworkers stop by her desk and leave messages all over her desk and whiteboard with little jabs. 

No baseball inside.
