Buckle your chastity belts folks…I’m about to penetrate the born-again virginity of randomness like no other before. Here I am, a few days away from finishing another 3 week stint out in the Middle Easy. Prior to this visit, I had been back in the States 2 weeks following a previous 3 week stint out [...]
So, my reward for my 3 week servitude out in the Middle Easy is this. Is it worth it? Maybe. I’ve been out here on the coast for 4 days and this is the first chance I’ve gotten at actually sitting on the beach and relaxing. Every night this week, I’ve been getting home past [...]
From the Middle Easy, I raise my hand and salute you “Salaam”. Due to the nature of my profession, I can’t exactly make you cool cats keen to where exactly I’m currently at. Let’s just say that I’m in the Middle East. In the desert. Vague enough for you? Don’t worry, I ain’t no Top [...]
Clark Howard’s blabbering away on the telly (imploring folks to refrain from giving out their social security number) while a toddler’s irrepressible cadence of cries resonate in the background of Gate 29 at the William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, TX. I am headed back to the A after spending another week in the Boondocks [...]
Here I am, 10,000+ miles in the air on the way to the Left Coast (‘Frisco) and I’m listening to the Phillies vs. Yankees World Series game and blogging. I know Wi-Fi on airplanes ain’t nothing new, but the fact that I’m surfing the ‘net AND getting my sports fix on has popped my top. [...]
The title speaks for itself, no? Well well well, my uniformed readers, I am here to enlighten you on various (bootleg) ways to financially survive the recession. Now, here’s the thing: this isn’t some kind of recycled, inapplicable guide that you’d find on Yahoo.com or whatever other website you use to inundate your mind with [...]
Once a month has been my M.O., so why rock the boat? Here I am punching my timesheet for the month of August. I cut it close, no? No different than last month I suppose (when I posted on July 30). Maybe it’s better to refrain from inundating the masses (all 3 of you) with [...]
I’m tempted to extract my eyeballs out of their sockets and rinse them in anti-bacterial soap. All I’ve done all week (and pretty much every week I’m out here in Texas) is stare at a computer screen for 12+ hours a day. I’m gonna absolve myself of apathetic responsibility and point my finger at that [...]
While my cool cats twittered away the evening from the rooftop of lofts overlooking the A, I turned my stag on in College Station, TX. Jason’s Deli and Star Trek. It’s what I do. So, Star Trek was definitely as dope as expected. But, that is an inexpensive, albeit savory, appetizer in comparison to the [...]
Another day gone by, another week spent in the quaint town of Franklin, TX. I might as well take out a 2nd mortgage for my (ostensibly) 2nd home here. Although, there is a faint, meagerly discernible splinter of daylight fracturing through the ominous stratus clouds. My time here will progressively (hopefully?) diminish with each coming [...]
