So I watched my 2 year old (3 at the end of August) niece Joline today. We watched the Neverending Story II. Actually, I watched it and she napped in the Lazy Boy with me. Then I read some books to her, spun her around for what felt like an eternity on her Sit N [...]

It’s official! 27 years with no fatality!
Yesterday I celebrated my 27th birthday… well, I actually started celebrating last Friday… Open It or Expand It » It’s funny… I don’t really like making a big deal out of my birthday, but my wife sure does! Friday morning, since she can’t handle suspense, she gives me my birthday present (the one I didn’t [...]
Amnesty
Here’s a little lighter fare: I just found a program that “frees” your dashboard widgets! (Those of you on PCs are confused… just ignore this post. Open It or Expand It » So Amnesty is this program that lets you run your dashboard widgets on your desktop. It lets you adjust things like whether they’re [...]
Why don’t War Pigs fight the wars?
I like to think that I generally listen to a fairly wide spectrum of music. However, if I were completely honest I’d admit that my tastes run to the harder side of rock more often than other types of music. For instance, every once in a while I have to have a day of “Light [...]
Touched by Red
Well, it’s been a while since a sermon really cut me… but this weekend I got a triple shot of one that did just that. Open It or Expand It » I should probably set this up a little. It’s going to be kinda personal, so if you’re merely in this for quirkiness, read one [...]
Everyone Play Nice
Hey guys, I set Ann up with her own blog, she doesn’t have any posts yet, but she will soon. Just remember to play nice, she’s new to this whole thing. anndooley.com
You Like Me, You Really Like Me
So yesterday I had my 90 day review at Lake Pointe… Open It or Expand It » I happy to report that Lake Pointe Church has decided to retain my services. Turns out I’m a meet or exceeds requirements kinda guy. Of course I can’t share all the details of said meeting but in the [...]
30 Years of Wedded Bliss
Before Tiffany asks me how old I am again, no, not mine… I’ve got 25 more years to go before hitting that mark. My parents just celebrated their 30th anniversary on Monday. Well, they actually celebrated on the 8th, because that’s when all of their kids worked together to plan and pay for a great [...]
LOUD NOISES!
Our office is currently undergoing some renovations. We’re moving a wall to make our control room bigger, getting a nice new closet for our tape storage area, running new com, audio, and video cables… all kinds of stuff. Open It or Expand It » So today was one of those ubër-productive days, lemme tell ya. [...]
When it rains, it craps.
Today has just been one of those days. You know the kind… nothing seems to go right. So we (the wife and I) wake up a little late, enjoying sleeping in. Then we decide to go through all the stuff titling and registering our vehicles in Texas. So we hop in our cars and drive [...]
Secret Fears or Unresolved Issues?
So I got psycho-analytical on myself today… I was rollin’ down highway 30 on the way to work today and I was rockin’ out to Metallica’s cover of “Tuesday’s Gone” (for those of you who haven’t heard it, it’s not your normal Metallica… it’s pretty close to the original Skynard version). Back to my point. [...]
Everybody! Everybody!
After a month long, unexplained hiatus, Homestarrunner.com is back. If you’re not sure what Homestar Runner is, it’s a good wholesome internet cartoon webpage that I’ve been watching for a few years now. They’re best known for Strongbad’s Emails… Check it out, you won’t be disappointed…
Chicago 1, Dallas 0
So I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. In fact, I spent 2 months down here in the Dallas area without my wife (well except for the one weekend my new job flew her down to see me… THANK YOU WES AND CHRISTINA!), so I’ve had a good bit of time to myself. Add [...]
Morning People…
I would like to set the record straight. I am not a morning person… Sure, I’m up now (and have been for a little while), but that’s what years of having to get up and go to/find work do to you… You’re up, whether you want to be or not. This does not please me. [...]
Do Ya Really Wanna Know?
As with any fledgling blog, it is of course necessary to dispense some history, so the curious Googler doesn’t feel lost amidst the confused daily ramblings, so here goes.
