Austin is such an aberration

...but shit, I'd live there.

These two people:


And these two people, the other being Lindsey, an old pal from high/middle school. Note that the alcohol is starting to take its effect on me here.


Some crazy Lewis and Clark type hilarity.


Stay tuned for some hot Houston photos next week. That is, if I even bother taking my camera along. It's probably not worth it.

Random Ten Speed shit

GARY FISHER TOUCHED THIS BIKE AND WROTE SHIT ON IT:



Jonnadon Forslund, you're a fucking trendsetter you sonofabitch

Shameless Evangelism Wins!

Ok, most of you that know me are well aware of my hatred for Napoleon Dynamite. Enough said.

I was at a nearby mall in San Antonio a couple of hours ago. One of the many kiosks of stupid shit had a bunch of Jesus-esqe t-shirts, including...



(I found a picture of it via google).

Now, I'm sure there are fans of the film out there that will take great offense at this.

And that pleases me.

That's right, I'm a hypocrite. Come on, who wants a piece of me

From Del Rio to Laredo

Think driving on I-80 in central Nebraska is monotonous? Shit, try southwest Texas.



I don't think I saw another Caucasian person in Laredo. I kind of liked the city though.



I sampled some of the native cuisine, too.... oh wait



Back in San Antonio now; meeting up with Justin and Alesha tomorrow evening. We intend to check out the clusterfuck that is 6th Street (AS SEEN ON 'THE REAL WORLD: AUSTIN')

This building was used in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. I don't know if it has any other historical significance.

And look who I found...



(Don't worry, Justin is doing much better than he looks here)

Paradise Now was pretty good.

Go see it. I'm going to San Antonio. Be right back

Taking advantage of my job

(Well, aside from the fact I'm typing this from work)

So I have to go down to San Antonio in two weeks. Heck, I also get to see Laredo and Del Rio. Here's hoping I don't get eaten by coyotes or that cupacabracuchmunga-thing that they claim sucks the blood out of goats down there.

But on Friday after I get done working, I'm meeting up with Justin and will be in Austin that weekend. I'll be able to see first-hand if it's all it's hyped up to be.

Random thoughts from Louisiana/Texas

-Bayou Country is one of the coolest places I've seen. I'll probably change my mind come June or July though
-There are still dry counties in the US. At least in Texas.
-I met some incredibly kind people down there
-There are acres and acres of trees near Beaumont, TX that will have to be destroyed. A guy I talked to said that the wood isn't even suitable for pulping.
-Houston sucks. It's like Omaha x 10.

Number of Waffle House restaurants I came across between 1981 and January 1, 2006: Maybe 3 or 4

Number of Waffle House restaurants I have come across since 6:30 pm on Januaray 2, 2006: About 50

I'm not certain if I'll be able to use the internet much this week, so I had to post my prediction now.

I really shouldn't root against Texas though, because if they lose I'll have to talk to a bunch of disgruntled fans the next day

Took a girl geocaching, and...
