Slow the hell down

Last night I was on my way home from school…talking to my dad on the cell. Bad I know, but I needed to vent about school and such. Any how I was along a stretch of road that was quite frequently patrolled when I first moved here and now I haven’t seen a [...]

I might actually finish school on plan!

So I finally got my ass in gear and started looking at what credits I actually needed to be done with school this fall. I had my plan, but I’ve wondered what the schools plan said. Well long story short I found out that my plan is what the school has planned. Imagine [...]

Getting old

First it was Nirvana being played on the oldies station and now it’s the Dave Matthews Band being played on the oldies station. In addition I’ve started feeling aches and pains that I haven’t felt before.
The last couple of nights I’ve woken up at about 4 AM with middle of my back [...]

Best Sports Movies

This weekend I think TNT played every football movie that you can imagine. We watched a little bit of The Replacements with Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman. It’s not bad. But it got me thinking about what are the best sports movies out there?
Here’s my list:
1 – Hoosiers
2 – Remember The Titans
3 – [...]

Happy Easter!

I was hoping to post up a picture of the ribs that we are BBQing, but the weather out here has been one of great differences today. Started out really nice and then sprinkled. And then it got nice again and now it’s storming…as in monsoon weather. Damn Iowa!
This weekend consisted of…a whole lot [...]

I’m not sure when this happened but somewhere along the line my parents opened the store on Saturdays. Perhaps they were open on Saturdays when they bought the store. Any how every Saturday morning we would trek on down to [...]

It’s been a busy week so far so I haven’t had time to post. Just wanted to let the few readers that I have know this. I plan on kicking off a post tonight, but I’m not 100% sure. I’ve been moving a forum on my other site and it’s going to [...]

Employees of the store

This is a continuation of the story I started a few days back. You can read part 1 here.
Along with purchasing the store, my parents aquired a couple of employees. Don and Pam were the 2 original employees that I remember.
Pam (At least that’s what I think here name was) [...]

Happy Birthday Raul!

So I’m not 100% when his birthday is, but if I’ve done my math correctly it’s sometime this weekend. So a big happy birthday!! Have a few drinks see a movie (or two) and enjoy yourself. Your another year closer to 30…at least that’s what my wife keeps telling me!

May 1st, 1987

I was a whole 10 years old when this event happened. My mom and dad decided that it was time to stop working for the man and start being the man. In other words they bought their own business. In this case they bought a small restaraunt in my home town. [...]
