Cycling

I just started riding a bike in conjunction with running and working out. Here was my first real type exercise ride.

I'm officially a Vidorian... crap

Let's start off with a recap. Vidor has a horrible stereotype of being and terrible, white trash, racist, KKK member town (FYI, stereotype are stereotypes for a reason no matter what the subject). Six and a half years ago I started dating Britney who lived in the vicinity of Vidor. Two and a half years ago I married Britney who lived in the vicinity of Vidor. Around the same time I started going to church in Vidor. One year ago I moved to Vidor... right down the road from the High School where Vidorians graduate and take up residence in Vidor. 3 weeks ago I started working for Vidor I.S.D. right across from the High School where Vidorians graduate and then take up residence in Vidor.

Today, sadly, I've made the commitment to Vidorization. You see today, as you see in the picture above, I drove around Vidor delivering mail and packages to all the different campuses in Vidor and this is the vehicle that I drove around in. On a side note, while it does say "8 yrs Academically Recognizes by T.E.A 1995-2002" that doesn't mean a whole lot for the educational system itself. I can recognize a gap in someone elses teeth, but does that mean that it's necessarily a good thing? Of course not. And who cares about what the T.E.A. says? I don't even know what it stands for, but I can guarantee that T stands for Texas. I hope that this will be the culminating highlight of my Vidorian existance.

At least I don't live in Buna.

Another Loop in the Job Rollercoaster

I work for Vidor Independent School District now. Why are most of my posts about work? I'm tired of typing now.

Epiphany from the Throne

One day while I was in my new house I went to the bathroom to take care of some business.As I sat down the spine shivering coldness went all the way from the back of my legs, up to my man seat, progressed through my back and ended at my cerebral cortex. I thought to myself," Would I really like to put up with this freezing cold toilet seat my whole life?" And that's when I came to the conculsion (however sad and depressing it may be) that I would never ever be able to live up north or in a place of high altitude. I was upset, but then realized I won't always have to sit on my hands to warm up the throne.

10 is the number of a man

I had a thought around the end of 2007 while watching TV. All of the end of year programs were on such as the Funniest commercials of the year, biggest celebrity fallouts of the year, best sports moments of the year, etc. And I realized that the only ones that ever matter are the Top 10. I began to think about this further and recalled all the top 10 lists that I've seen in my life. I've even seen a Top 10 list about Top 10 lists. And the questions comes up "What would we do with out Top 10 lists?" and I was actually afraid to answer the question. How do men rank everything that is important in life? All the way from quarterbacks, to action movies, hidden Disney movie innuendos, or of course best looking women in any category. The Top 10 list is essential to everyday living for a man and I am thankful that I (as a man) have subscribed to this brilliant idea/philosophy.




To further prove my point that 10 is the number of a man. I would like to ask all men who read this post "How would you rank that girl across the room?" On a scale from 1-10, right? I just want to show how important the number 10 is to our daily lives and how a man goes about figuring out how to think about any given situation or person. I have no use now for the 1-10 scale since I no longer have to rank any womans appeal because I have found my 10, but even still the 1-10 scale has done much good for many men and I would like to pay tribute to the inventor of the greatest rating system ( even better than 2 thumbs up) ever. Rensis Likert was a man among men and gave us the best psychological test ever..... the Likert Scale. So let us now honor Rensis Likert as a man's man, an alpha male, and no doubt having the DNA of a Schrute.

I'm seriously not this Redneck

The only reason my in-laws live in a travel trailer parked next to my house is because they sold their house and they need a place to stay while they look for land to build on. So you can stop with the jokes Kevin. My family didn't come straight from Alabama or anything like that. It is just a temporary situation. I will have a pic up fairly soon so that all may see that it really isn't that bad.

The Evil Quagmire Resolved

It was a tough decision to not go with the evil empire known as Abercrombie & Fitch. I'm now with America's Most Reliable Network (i.e. Verizon Wireless). I haven't been able to post since they make us work 50 hours a week.... plus I've had other things to deal with in recent months (i.e. the blog above this one). Just to catch up for the last 5 months I've gotten a great job with a great company, I sucked royally in both my fantasy football leagues, the in-laws have moved in for the time being, I got awesome Christmas gifts including The Taylor Made Superquad 460 driver, and there is another recording of sparkler bomb history thanks to Toups. It will be posted shortly. And just for the time being just in case you haven't seen me in a while.
