LOL So you just went out and bought a humidor? You rock.

Night Court , I used to love that show , We have been having Dukes of Hazard playing on one of the cable channels up here lately

I love Night Court! I'd so watch reruns if they were on.

Oh yeah, and today I had the dubias honor of replacing a dishwasher that had been hardwired into the wall (i.e. no plug). Then the fuse box was mislabeled, and I didn't bring my electronic's tool box, so I got to rewire the new dishwasher with a hot line. Yay! Very fun! Nothing like repeated hits from 110 volt current to invigorate your spirit.

Silly me. I found a bottle of cheap champagne ("sparkling wine" for the nit pickers) in the back of my fridge and decided to open it, since it's the cheap kind that doesn't hold well, and it's been a while. I drank it, decided to go get a burrito, decided against the burrito on the way to the place (am eating as much Texas-only food as I can until I move) so went to Wal-Mart and spent $150 on DVDs. Some highlights of my purchases: "Night Court: Season One" , "South Park" (don't remember which season), "M*A*S*H: Season 7" (fuck anyone who doesn't like M*A*S*H!), "Predator: Special Edition", and "Labyrinth". Bought some other stuff too, like unprocessed beef kidneys (do not ask! ) and ended up getting the very same burrito on the way home.

Think I'm going to watch South Park first - I need a good laugh.

oh, and I ate at McDonalds for the first time in three or four months yesterday. It really was not very good.

Uh , that McDonalds shit goes right through me cause of all the grease in it

So I find myself with an hour before I have to do anything, so I light one of my cigars and kick back and....get a call. Something told me to take the appointment so, very pissed off, I put the cigar out ( ) and jump in my truck and haul ASS fifty miles to find out that someone vandalized one of my units (no big deal - more money for me I suppose) and the locks are all fucked, so I can't get in. I show them another one, they like it, and rent it. Their credit sucked, but the owner had heard of them through someone else and as I'm meeting them he's telling me about these people he heard about and just called and left a message with and is waiting to hear back from and I'm shaking the guys hand. Talk about surreal!

So, I kind of ruined a damn fine cigar (I am smoking it now, but it's not the same the second time around) but made like $400. Then I got another appointment waaaay on the otherside of town, get an application from the guy, and it looks like he is using a fake SSN, cause his credit report is nonexistent. As in, he's not in the system. Yet he has a brand-new car in his name. Odd. I hope it works out, cause then I'll rent that house and I then just made another $300. I really need this cash with the move coming up.

Damn these cigars are fucking great!

If I rent that second house, I'm gonna go back and get a bigger box of them and some special catfish bait to try out in Seattle. Might even have enough money to do that guided catfish trip - right now, if I can't find a cheaper camper shell for my truck, it's not a very good idea to do the trip. Unless my Grandpa says yes to it, then I'll do the trip with him around April 16 or so, and when we're done, my father will be back in town and will be able to help me on the drive to Seattle. I don't need the help so much as I just want to get it done quicker, and two people driving gets everything done twice as fast, you know?

OK, it's time to eat some Quiznos ( ) and watch "The Ladykillers". I hope that movie is at least half decent.

They say my AV block is nothing to be concerned about and all my activity is apparently normal or at least ok...they have no answer for the dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pains, and total exhaust (from doing nothing) ..I go in tomorrow for another monitor...but I've already scheduled an appt with the neurologist..... because I feel shitty every day for most of the day...the window is getting better as far as time that I don't feel shitty. But I am meditating to help me condition my nody into believing I'm ok so I can get back to work at least and wait out the appts....with lots of tylenol.

So I just saw a commercial for the evening news, and they're talking about "Mexican police taking advantage of spring breakers; pay a bribe or go to jail!" like it's some kind of huge fucking secret that Mexican police are on the take!? What the fuck? Every idiot and their mother knows you can get out of just about anything in Mexican border/tourist towns for about $40 US. And then there's the whole, what the fuck are these kids expecting when they go south of the border, get so drunk that they cause trouble, and then get arrested? Do they expect preferential treatment just cause they're gringos? I sure as shit never did.

Am watching "2 Fast 2 Furious". Started to write everything that was wrong with it, technically, and 10,000 words later, and I'm still not half done. They didn't even TRY to make it realistic! I mean, an EVO that can outrun a SALEEN and a built Corvette on the highway, but can't outrun a Hemi powered "stock" Dodge (Brian's saying that it's a 425hp engine which is bullshit for two reasons - no idiot would race a stock hemi, cause it's worth too much money, and 2) any idiot who would race a hemi would go all out building it, and it'd be well in the neighborhood of 600hp)!?

In the first movie, there were only two real big inconsistencies. One, a ten second quarter mile does not take a minute and a half to film. I'm sorry, it just doesn't. And 2, a 9 second Supra would spank the living shit out of a stock Ferrari convertible, even without the nitrous oxide. Ferraris are not so insanely fast as people think - just think of a Corvette as an American Ferrari, cause, generally speaking, they are just as fast as each other. The Vette is America's competition for the Ferrari, just like the Cadillac is America's competition for the Mercedes Benz.

Which brings me to the fact that the Corvette is about to get the most powerful engine any Vette has ever gotten AND it's going to be gas friendly (i.e. no gas guzzler tax - the only super car in the world to get an EPA friendly rating! ). While the loss of the F-body (Camaro, Firebird, Firehawk, Trans-Am, et cetera) pisses me off to no end, I'm glad to see the Corvette running strong, and the Mustang too (even if it's more ugly now then the Mustang II ever was - if you want to build a retro Mustang, just build it to look EXACTLY like the old school Mustangs, only with today's technology - I guaran-fucking-tee that people will buy them! shit! I'd fucking buy one, and I hate Fords!).

So, when you move, are you going to keep the name TexaSGuy?

No way , he should change his name to George Washington

You will have to settle down into a long term career eventually

I hate Texas State Troopers as well - they are always trying to pull my boy over, even though he is the most conscientious and careful drive you would ever care to meet! (Sometimes I get frustrated because he won't speed).

Up here the state doughnut suckers have a chunk of pork hiding on the side of the road without a car using a laser gun and radio to alert the porkers up ahead on what cars to pull over , they also use planes to time cars between painted markers on the highway to trap speeders and have roaming unmarked cars pull the people over

*runs to dig out Kittie album*
thanks for reminding me - I used to love that band!
