About Me

Hello and welcome to my space! I'm a Native Houstonian, however had the intense pleasure of growing up in Wimberley, TX.. Outside of Austin....

Television:

Reruns of "Friends", ...I like Paris Hilton on the "Simple Life"...Hilarious! It's so stupid!! The Dog Whisperer! He's fantastic! Watching Austin City Limits! Watching Free Views of Musicians. Really don't have alot of time to watch the tube..

Books:

My favorite book besides the Bible would have to be "Follow The River"......Written by James Alexander Thom.(This book really proves that History repeats itself!!!Amazing!) Also, "Listen To The Warm" by Rod McKuen"....(maybe mis-spelled!, The Rubiyat, by Omar Kyam..probably mispelled as well...

Heroes:

My Father! My father is my "Rock"! My father is a World War II Veteran, and I must say our Government doesn't care about them or the Vietnam Veterans...........there are so many verterans that are out there. I say PULL our brothers, sisters, Mothers, Fathers, Uncles, Aunts, Nieces, Nephews, Sons,and Daughters out of Iraq, Iran and Afganastan!!!! It's totally pointless! Those people will NEVER change! Pull our troops out of Bagdad as well....Secure all the borders, not just half or three quarters, come on now let's get real! We have the technology to have constant survalence on our airspace! Well, who'll do all this? We have homeless Veterans on the streets everywhere....I say take care of the U.S.(our Veterans!!!) Our "True Citizens", then take care of other business elsewhere. This is so similar to Vietnam, but only a different culture and different location..This has become a"Political Battle" , and for what???? We the Americans of the U.S. are kept from the real news of ALL The Deaths by "Friendly Fire", Oooppps, shit, let's burn their clothes, elminate all evidence, then we'll contact their family.... Draft is very possible almost inevitable, and I only pray that this matter is Resolved in the NEAR future...Start pulling out our troops soon or else, (well, we already look STUPID) we'll be the laughing stock of all the other countries! Someone needs to take charge of this mess!!! By-the-way, why is it that the illegal aliens can get medicaid, food stamps, Wic, not pay taxes, get Any and All Medical Care from any and all Hospitals, while we can't.not to mention that they take the "Blue Collar Jobs, (without Certification of any kind!) and the white man, black man, we're the ones that are the TRUE MINORITY!!!! Amen Brothers and Sisters!!! I'm sounding off!!!! This is my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!
