A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Work(out)…

Well, it actually wasn’t that funny.  It was kind of frustrating to be honest.
I was on my way over to Bossier to my gym when I noticed I-20 was at a standstill.  I called the station and found out there was some sort of wreck stopping traffic on the bridge.  I can only assume it [...]

Home Is Where The Heat Is

 Â
I’ll never understand why all these prison escapees go straight back home once they break out.  Don’t they realize it’s one of the first places authorities look?  I guess if they were smart, they wouldn’t be in prison to begin with.   Â
I have to give props to Shreveport Polce, Bossier City Police, Louisiana State [...]

Dirty Laundry…

Â
 I would give anything for a washer and dryer!
It’s been six weeks since I’ve moved into my new place and I thought I’d be fine without them, but I’m quickly learning life is much easier with clean underwear.
Underwear is and always will be an issue for me.  It’s a chore to buy them. I only [...]

American Idol… Take a Midol

When I watched this video, I couldn’t believe what I heard.  The idiot judges on American Idol actually accused this guy of threatening them by saying, “be careful.”
I ALWAYS say “be careful” to people… it’s kind of my trademark.  When I tell my friends to “be careful”… I mean just that.  My mom used to [...]

The Path To Hell Is Paved With Text Messages

I don’t know how I did it, but I’ve somehow managed to piss off two people by not texting them.
Twice today, I’ve been berated for not returning messages in a timely fashion.  I just don’t get this whole texting thing.  I absolutely refuse to carry on a conversation with someone via text message.
I swear to [...]

Calling All Liberators!

Â
I just now did some unpacking from my trip home for Christmas.  Yeah, I know… it’s been nearly a month, but at least I finally did it. Â
I found this hat my dad gave me.  It’s a “Bolivar Liberators” cap.  That’s our school mascot. Â
Our town was named after Simon Bolivar.  He was a spanish [...]

All Rites Reserved

Okay, I admit it.  I did not watch one minute of today’s Inauguration.Â
I’ve never been one to enjoy ceremonial stuff.  Hell, I couldn’t even stand to sit through my own college graduation, but I did for my family’s sake.  It took forever!
When my brother graduated from the New York City Police academy, I went to the [...]

I’m No Quitter!

Â
Okay… after giving it a whole lot of thought and seeking the advice of my doctor, I’ve decided it’s best to get off the Chantix.
I have had the worst headaches and mood swings for the last week and a half.  Maybe “mood swings” isn’t the correct term… “Violent thoughts of rage” is more like it.Â
Today, [...]

Oh No He Didn’t!

Oh yes I did!  I have fallen from grace. I got so stressed out today, I smoked a cigarette. DAMN IT!
Here I was… doing so good. I hadn’t smoked since Monday morning and now I’ve blown it.  Actually, I inhaled it before blowing it. Oh hell… what’s it matter? I still screwed up.
I’m ashamed, but [...]

So Far So Good…

Â
 I woke up at 6:30 this morning and so far have not had one cigarette. Â
Sure, it’s only been three hours, but hey… I gotta start somewhere.  I’m feeling pretty optimistic about this. Â
It kind of helped “28 Days” was on yesterday.  Seeing a bunch of people trying to get over drug addiction, alcoholism and eating [...]
