Willie Style

Today I performed my civic duty and voted. The line was about 100 people long but only took about 30 minutes to get out of there. No doubt you know how I voted. There was also a referendum for commuter rail here in Austin that is probably 50/50. I don't live on the proposed route, but imagine if I didn't have to contend with rush hour traffic and ride the train instead. Nah, I cherish my car too much to give that up. That's the American way.

I'm copying a link that Steves' Soapbox has up - http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20041026-121303-1337r.htm - from a story yesterday about Bush breaking with the GOP and saying civil unions are OK. Hmm, one week before the election, he decides his right-wingers aren't enough and is trying to reach for the middle and the left out of desperation. Whatever . . (i invite comments on this one)

If you haven't gotten off your lazy ass to the movie in a while, then by all means go see the totally un-PC Team America: World Police. Scott, I think you're the only other person I know that's seen it. But if you like to laugh at gruesome blood-letting, head decapitation, unecessarily long vomit scenes, you're in for a treat. And of course, one of the best sex scenes in any movie I've ever seen. I recommend going high or buzzed just to make you laugh harder and longer.

Ok, so i've not updated for a week, and the Blog isn't so much a Blog - yet. I will revisit my previous week's events in all the sordid details for all to read. I must say, I was a bad boy.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. My weekend in Brownwood for HPU Homecoming was not uneventful. While drunk on Bacardi O's in the parking lot of Gate 1 motel Saturday nite, a group of us got chased around by the hotel manager, driving her golf cart around in her white bathrobe, all because she heard a paddle break against the concrete (thus causing a noise disturbance...and yes, that kind of paddle) and then saw toilet paper strewn across the asphalt (from wrapping a frat brother in TP and lighting him on fire). Needless to say, I left with good memories haha.

Wanted to post a link to the Blog (http://stevesmarketanddeli.com/blogger.htm) that our fellas @ Steves' Market and Deli update almost every day with bits of history and current events reminding us Brownwood natives how backwards and corrupt it is. Despite having a Starbucks, Chili's and soon-to-be Home Depot and Lowe's, the town is not quite there yet. Perhaps I should run for Mayor in 2020?? God, slap me if I do.

A bitch fight is brewing between Jon Stewart (of The Daily Show) and Tucker Carlson (of CNN's Crossfire). Jon called Tucker a dick on live TV and said Crossfire blows. The truth hurts. LOL ;-)

I recycled today for the first time - ever.

I've seen those little green containers with that arrow symbol for 2 years now, but tonite I actually put something in them. I've been collecting our used plastic water bottles for 6 months, hoping to refill them, but never did. I decided enough was enough with bottles stashed in weird places, so I walked down to the recycle bins and dumped them in, including 10 issues of the Austin Chronicle that I was collecting for no good reason.

What a good feeling. I did my part for the environment. Take that, Dubya! -vote Kerry

Well, here goes nothing. My first post on my very first blog. I've been so into blogs this year (especially because of the election) that I couldn't pass up the chance to do my own. You may or may not be interested in anything or everything, but either way, it's a good outlet for one's self-expression. I end this blog with some basic advice this coming November - Just Vote. Please.
