Today went by really quickly, much to my surprise. Elise is in Austin (again) cleaning the old apartment. I really appreciate her doing that for us. I think I’ll take her on a date this weekend.
My friend and coworker, Luciana has been going through the same thing as me. Her and her husband moved to [...]

I just made a killer, artery clogging shrimp po-boy. I took some really cheap, small cooked shrimp, seasoned and battered them.

Fried them in vegetable oil. Served them up on toasted French bread.
Sauce: 1 part ketchup, 1 part mayo, dash worcestershire.
I think [...]

115-102 Dallas. The Mavs lead the series against Minnesota 3-0. Yeah!
El and I are finally moved in in Temple. We had movers move us yesterday. That’s made life so much easier. It took them 2 hours to load our stuff. It would have taken El and I at least 2 days. I have Scott & [...]

Mom and Dad called me tonight - It’s good to hear from them every once in a while and get a voice of reason. Sometimes I start thinking and get some preconceived notion in my head, then my parents call and put things into perspective. It’s those little, simple words of advice that make things [...]

Woohoo… Go Mavericks. 2-0! I was kind of upset because the Mavs didn’t go further last year. Looks like they might have a chance this go-around. Sorry, the b-ball in me will start rearing its head now - tis that time of year. Of course, I’ll always be wearing my purple and yellow (Lakers). I [...]

Today was the longest, most miserable day of my life. Don’t ask me why - it just went on and on and on and on. Plus, work just sucked.
I forgot to mention… Last Thursday, El and I drove down to San Antonio to hear Dave Ramsey speak. I’ve already read two of his books, so [...]

A good day, a bad day. Let me start on a good note. My friend Johnny sent me this link today - I think we can all relate in some form or fashion. If you don’t feel like clicking through, it’s about a guy named Carlos who has a rich redneck neighbor who’s really into [...]

Just got in from Austin. It was kind of sad leaving. This past weekend was my ‘last’ weekend in Austin - next weekend we’re moving El up here.
I got in around 7 on Friday. El came home from work, Victor came over, we went and ate at the Hula Hut. On Saturday I washed and [...]

I was lucky enough this past week to have MTV come over to my place and film an exclusive episode of Cribs. They wanted the public to be able to see what a man of my caliber lives like. It was stressful having all of those camera people in my place, but I [...]

Hope everyone got their taxes done!
Today I had roadrunner installed - I’m happy now. El and I will no longer be using our austin.rr email accounts any longer.
You know what bugs the hell out of me? Fear Factor. It’s the only reality TV show that I’ll watch only because I like the stunts that are [...]
