This is my intro to my personal blog. I have another blog about my hot dog business, but it seems that I was posting way too much personal info on there...not that it really mattered, but that blog is supposed to be about the business and not about me. I need something to get things off my chest and writing a blog seems to help. So here is the new personal blog that I have started.....hope you enjoy!
First post:
I have completely screwed up my sleeping pattern again. Having to work on my business at night since it has been a little hot these past few weeks. Don't want to run the AC and have to give the city our hard earned money. I am now staying up all night and sleeping all day. Will have to fix this in the next few days or I will be screwed once my business is opened. The room we are working in is solid concrete and it doesn't breathe very well....needless to say that I sweat a lot!
Found out that my Dad is retiring at the end of the year...or at least he wants to. They are going to move back to the DFW area, after it took us a couple of years to talk them into moving down here. I like having them closer, but we have been so busy since April that we haven't had time to go see them. I think they will be happy living in Arlington again, but I couldn't ever imagine myself living there again. Maybe if something happened with expanding my business and I needed to be there, then I might be convinced to live there....but the wife would have to want to live there also...and I don't think that is going to happen! We both have family in that area, but I get panic attacks just thinking about being there.
I just had to have an iPod Touch for Christmas and the wife was upset because I hardly use it. I had insisted on getting one and we spent 1 whole day trying to find one. She has every right to be upset considering what we went thru to get it. Well, I started using it about 4 months ago and there is hardly a day go by that I don't use it. Funny thing is that I very rarely listen to music on it, unless it is Pandora or Live365. I mostly use it to surf, check email, and play games. I have 3 video game systems and 2 laptops, but the iPod is what I use to play games. Go figure.
I live in a small town in Texas. A very small town. I grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and this town is like the size of my old neighborhood. Still unsure about how I feel about this town. It has its good points and bad points. I will discuss some of these issues from time to time. Not having too many issues right now, but the year isn't over yet.
I have very long hair now, but it is starting to get tangled all the time. I kinda want to cut it, but really like having long hair. I've been growing it for nearly 5 years and figure that I do it now before I go bald and don't have any hair. Will try to get the wife to trim it today.
Been finding tons of friends on Facebook. Found people I haven't spoken to in 10 years. Not sure why I fell out of touch with those people, but it happens. I've always been better having a small core group of friends that I spend time with. Right now that group is all up in the DFW area and I am stuck here in the Austin area. I have some friends from my old jobs in Austin, but never really seemed to make a really great connection with anyone. If I tried to spend time with all my friends in DFW area, then I would need to be there about a month. Hopefully we will be going up there soon and will try to see everyone that I can.
I feel like my brother in law is becoming someone that I could consider a "best" friend. We get along great and always have a good time together. We went to Dallas a couple weeks ago to pick up some bar equipment and was able to talk to each other about our lives and issues we face. I really miss having my best friends around and feel like Josh is beginning to fall into that spot. My other 2 best friends live far away from me, but we still stay in contact....just wished they also lived here and that we could spend time together.
Want to go see Kiss when they come to Austin. Will try to get some tickets. Some people say they suck in concert, but I disagree. I really like them and always have...even though my mom wouldn't let me listen to them when I was a kid...thought they were devil worshipers. Funny how people thought that back in the 70's but failed to realize that all their songs were about women and having parties. She did let us listen to the Village People. Guess that no one realized that some of the group was gay. That probably wouldn't have gone over very well in the Bible belt. I listen to Kiss anyway...the neighbor's kid had the albums.
Wonder what ever happened to that kid? Had lots of fun times with him! We once went swimming in a metal cattle tank during a lightning storm. Damn we were stupid. We put boards over the top of it so that lightning wouldn't strike it. Damn we were stupid. Guess that happens when a 7 year old me and a 9 year old him puts our minds together.
