Nyt Syts

I want to order one of these as I'd really love to be the first Home Boy in my hood to own one. I'm just wondering, can I get this with diamonds instead of the white dots, maybe 1 carat or more? I really would like to stand out from all my friends. Please let me know as soon as possible. My home boys and I are scheduled to hang this weekend. I'd love to be the cool one this time.

12:16 a.m. 1-1-2009 and I should lay off the champagne

Happy New Year everyone! I'm hoping my lovely Zune will magically fix itself like MS claims it will. I'm hoping I get to spend lots more time with my cool friends in 2009. I'm hoping I can add 5,000 miles (hopefully more) to my bike's odometer, that's motorcycle. And I hope I can add 40 miles a week to my bicycle's odometer as I start commuting to work. Lots of hopes and dreams for 2009. Stay safe!

2008 In Review

Early January was our group ride to the Forbidden Gardens in Katy Texas. That was great. Wish they would fix/upgrade/invest and make the place even more spectacular.

February was my 1 year mark at the new-to-me job.

March was (clearly not memorable at this point).

April marked 3 years of Jess and me being together + the last name change.

May we had a great Memorial day ride with Danny and his son-n-law through the hill country of west Texas. We stopped in Luckenbach Texas for the first time.

June was some summer riding with friends.

July was my big 3-uh-O. Had a blast in big-D go-carting.

August was the start of me being the recycling team lead at work.

September we took the gun class and was the gimongo hurricane Ike (please note that New Orleans did not offer to take our folks that were homeless from the storm nor did they offer to help rebuild Galveston - I'm totally bitter we're still dealing with all the crappy fallout of Katrina (GO BACK ALREADY HOUSTON USED TO BE AWESOME!!!)). We lost power for 14 days, though not nearly as long as our neighbors across the street and our friends up north of H-town.

October life was starting to return back to normal from the devastation and we made a trip up to big-D to see the bro & sis-n-law. Plus I got my shiny new gun based on the results of a bet (I aced the shooting test).

November I was assigned as a move coordinator for multiple floors of my building to a new location in h-town. OMG! Someone shoot me already! But we made it in early Dec and I am not in a padded cell. We had a crazy political turnout.

December is ChristmaKwanzaHanukkah. We had a great one of all the above. I had some phenomenal gifts this year. Thanks JESS!!! I hope 2009 is a great year.

January will mark major changes for the US of A. I hope all are good.

Good luck to everyone in the New Year.

Z2K9

So I am like all the other unlucky souls that have a Zune 30gb, mine is stuck in the boot sequence. And apparently there's not a thing that can be done about it, at least not today (coincidentally the 366th day of the year).

MS Zune support:

Maybe the QA at MS could do a "Lessons Learned". It would seem that the simpliest of programmers would realize leap year really does take special caution, cause it doesn't usually just fix itself in the programming world. Okay, stepping off my soapbox. I was just annoyed that I had no tunes today and I sit with a NOISY bunch of folks.

MS Zune, FIX THE PROBLEM PLEASE!!!

Better luck next year, right?

Leave In Conditioner

I am currently trying this conditioner. So far, I feel like I've used waaaay too much each time. My hair seems to be oily, or greasy. I have tried this product for 2 consecutive days. I do like that I don't have frizz, nor does my hair seem dry at all. I don't know if I prefer my hair to make people feel thirsty, or for my hair to make people feel like I'm a dirty ol' woman.

Women Should Be Pissed Off

If you think about it...

Slavery was outlawed with the ratifying of the 13th Amendment in 1865. Only 5 short years later, the 15th amendment secured the right to vote to not be based on color. Though, gender biases still kept women from having the right to vote. The 15th amendment that was ratified on February 3, 1870 provided a means for those that had been in slavery to be able to vote, 143 years ago. Now step forward 50 years to August 18, 1920 when women finally gained the right to vote in the 19th Amendment, 88 years ago.

Something seems a little outta whack!

I'm not a feminist. I'm not right winged, nor left winged. But I am tired of hearing how there are classes of people that have been so oppressed for so long. I'm tired of women being termed "domineering" when all they really want is equal rights like the rest of the American citizens. Women don't have the time to be out whining and complaining about oppression. We have way to much taking up our time, like working twice as hard as the men in corporate America for 2/3 to 1/2 the pay, bearing the children, raising the children, . . . And the list goes on. And yet, there were even Republicans that were so narrow minded that they didn't support their own vice presidential candidate because she was a woman. Really now? Are you still lost in the years pre-1920?

... it's time we see a woman president. Republican, Democratic, Independent I don't believe I care which, just need to see a woman in office to make sure everyone is truly equal.

In the Washing Machine

Aww! Man! I seemed to have lost my sense of humor. I think it was in my jeans pocket last week and got washed in the laundry. LOL! I haven't been posting anything fun in say....4EVER. WTF. . . over?

Well, hopefully I'll find my sense of humor stuck somewhere in the lint tray of the Dryer!
