About Me

My Interests

UT Football, motorcycles, racing, pretty much anything involving adrenaline. Of course, I love the beach, but there is always a fat guy or three that does. ha ha ha. Update: Tattoos. I like tattoos. Yeah, that's it. LOL.

I'd like to meet:

Well, I really don't care about meeting any famous people. When I worked in racing, I met,talked to,or built products for many of my childhood heroes, so that was pretty doggone (what does that mean, anyway??) cool, but now.................I dunno. Whoever I would want to meet would probably put their pants on the same way I do, so..........*shrugs*.............Although, Angelina Jolie is HOTTTTTTTTTTTT.Ok, if I must be forced to choose...........Angelina........yeah baby!!!!!! hahahaha

Music:

Wow, this sure has changed from a year ago. I listen to some, and actually LIKE some, country music. Rascal Flatts and Emerson Drive are awesome. Sugarland, too. I like a wide variety, though, from hip hop to country.

Movies:

I still love CIA type movies, movies that exercise the ol' gray matter (*sings* "the old gray matter, she ain't what she used to be......"), comedies, romantic comedies. I tend to cry more at movies than ever before. *checks the pills for estrogen content* LOL

Television:

I rarely watch it.

Books:

Grisham, Barbara Parker, John Lescroart. Legal thrillers. UPDATE: Haven't read in months, not sure I ever will again, like I used too. Too much life out there!!!!!

Heroes:

Man, that is a tough one. Well, the obvious answer is Jesus Christ, because He died that I might have Life. On this earth? Well, I think every person has the potential for greatness, given the right catalyst, situation, and/or opportunity. I greatly admire the person who is able to rise above and beyond their situation, social, or economic limitations and achieve things beyond their wildest imagination. Hero? I don't know if it falls in that category, but I would say it is close in my book.

Death

Death.  What a word.  For a large majority of our lives, it has little impact.  Little bearing.  But, for a small minority of our lives, it has an impact that, strangely enough, is...

A top 10 finish............!!!

Dad did, in fact, get a ride in the race today. There was always the chance of something happening last minute, but it didn’t. Bobby said they tied him in the car during practice on Friday, but ...

Dads Final Ride..............

Many of  you know that Dad died on March 1.  Some of you know how I like racing, and those close to me know the role Dad played in that.  When I was a kid we would work on cars together...

Dad and The Electric Bed

In the midst of heartbreak and sorrow come unexpected moments of hilarity.  At the core, the reason for the events are not hilarious, but on the surface, they are and they are a welcome break fro...

Update on Dad

I thought I had posted a blog about this before, but apparently, I am senile. LOL. A few weeks ago they stopped Chemo treatments on Dad.  The Oncologist said the Chemo simply quit working and his...
