College Football

I'M READY. I'M READY FOR THE SCHOOL SONGS, FOR THE RIVALRY GAMES, THE SHUT UP AND JUST PLAY STYLE OF FOOTBALL. I'M READY FOR THE TRADITIONS, THE UPSETS, THE LAST SECOND HEART BREAKERS, THE BIG MATCHES, THE PRE-GAME WITH EPSN, THE DANCING MASCOTS, THE WHO'S REALLY NUMBER ONE HYPE, THE PAINTED FACES, THE SHIRTLESS & CRAZY STUDENT SECTIONS, THE SWAMP, THE SEA OF RED, THE BIG HOUSE, JOE-PA, THE WARCHANT, THE U, THE RED RIVER CLASSIC, I'M READY FOR SOME COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE SEASON STARTS. I'M READY TO WATCH THE GAMES. I'M READY TO BEGIN A NEW SEASON WHERE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR IS OUT THE DOOR, AND WE ALL START OFF FROM SCRATCH! I'M CAN FEEL IT. THE ANTICIPATION IS GROWING INSIDE OF ME. I'M SO READY. I LOVE THIS GAME. COLLEGE FOOTBALL. PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITING SPORT EVER. EVER.

Astros Suck....

I JUST REALLY WANTED TO GET THAT OFF OF MY CHEST. IT REALLY ANNOYS ME TO KNOW THAT YOU DO HAVE THE TALENT, BUT THEY CAN'T PRODUCE. WE HAVE IT. WE HAVE TALENT. BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYTHING GOING. AND PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ROGER CLEMENS TO RETIRE OR GO TO ANOTHER TEAM. BECAUSE WE ARE RUINING HIS STATISTICS. AS AWESOME OF A PITCHER AS HE IS, WE CAN'T PRODUCE JACK CRAP FOR HIM. IT SEEMS THAT HE'S SO INTIMIDATING ON THE MOUND THAT HE EVEN INTIMIDATES OUR PLAYERS AS WELL, CAUSE WE CAN'T SCORE ANYTHING WITH HIM PITCHING. IT'S SO DISAPPOINTING TO SEE A TEAM THAT WEN TO THE WORLD SERIES THE PAST YEAR, PLAY SO HORRIBLE THE FOLLOWING YEAR. AND IT'S NOT LIKE WE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB IN THE WORLD SERIES. SWEPT. WOW, HOW EMBARASSING IS THAT. SHOULD WE EVEN HAVE GONE? SHOULD WE HAVE JUST LET THE CARDINALS PLAY INSTEAD? MAYBE THEY COULDN'T ACTUALLY PUT UP A GOOD GAME OR CHALLENGE TO THE WHITE SOX. IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF TEXAS TEAMS ARE DOING THE SAME. THE TEXANS. PRETTY GOOD TALENT TO ATLEAST BE AT .500, BUT NOTHING. WE'RE FLOPS. WE HAVE TO PRODUCE SOMETHING THIS YEAR. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT I HAVE ALWAYS HATED. THE UT FOOTBALL PROGRAM HAS ALMOST ALWAYS HAD A TEAM FULL OF TALENT. BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL LAST YEAR TILL THEY DECIDED TO PLAY TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. IT'S NOT THAT THESE TEAMS SUCK BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE TALENT. THEY DO. THEY HAVE A LOT OF TALENT. BUT LET'S PRODUCE SOMETHING WITH THAT. ANYWAY, I JUST HAD TO GET THAT OFF OF MY CHEST. OVER AND OUT.

I hate hospitals....

I WAS REMINDED TODAY OF HOW MUCH I HATE HOSPITALS. JUST THE FEELING BEING THERE IS ENOUGH FOR ME. I DIDN'T EVEN GO INTO THE ROOMS, JUST THE LOBBY. I JUST GET A WEIRD FEELING THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT STEMS BACK TO WHEN I SAW MY GRANDFATHER IN THE HOSPITAL. I JUST KNOW THAT I DON'T LIKE THEM. I SAT IN THE WAITING AREA FOR ABOUT THREE AND A HALF HOURS. IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE VISIT HOSPITALS EVERYDAY. LOTS. LOTS AND LOTS. AND THAT WAS JUST THE SMALL AREA I WAS IN. IT WAS NOT THE EMERGENCY OR INTENSIVE CARE SECTION. I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE, AND THAT PLACE GETS BAD. MOST OF THE TIME, EVERYONE KEEPS TO THEMSELVES IN THE LOBBY. A FEW STARES AT ONE ANOTHER BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S JUST QUIET. THEN, LIKE TODAY, YOU HAVE SOME REALLY ROWDY PEOPLE. MAN, THESE FOLKS WERE LOUD. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT NONE OF THE STAFF WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE GETTING ANNOYED BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO READ OR HEAR THE VERY LOW TELEVISION, OR EVEN SLEEP. IT'S ALSO REALLY SAD THAT, THOSE ARE THE TIMES WHEN YOU SEE A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS THAT YOU HADN'T SEEN IN AGES. NEVER HAVE TIME TO SEE ONE ANOTHER, BUT THERE YOU ARE. AND YOU CAN'T REALLY BE HAPPY TO SEE THEM, CAUSE LOOK WHAT BROUGHT YOU THERE. SOMEONE'S PROBABLY DYING OR NEAR DEATH AT THAT VERY MOMENT. IF AND WHEN I END UP IN A HOSPITAL, I PRAY THAT IT'S NOT LONG TERM. AND IF IT IS, DON'T BE SUPRISED IF YOU SEEN A MAN WITH HIS BEHIND UNCOVERED ESCAPING THROUGH A HOSPITAL WINDOW USING THE BILLIONS OF LATEX GLOVES THE HOSPITALS SEEM TO HAVE IN EACH ROOM TO CLIMB DOWN. YUP, THAT'LL BE ME.

Drummer for life...

WENT TO DCI COMPETITION TONIGHT. IT BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES. IT WAS MY WIFE'S FIRST TIME. I THINK SHE ENJOYED IT A LITTLE. SHE WAS IN COLOR GUARD AS WELL. IT REMINDED ME OF MY DAYS AS A DRUMMER BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL. EVENTS LIKE THOSE ALWAYS DO. I MISS IT A LOT. A WHOLE LOT. IT WAS THE BEST PART OF MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. ALL THE TRIPS, THE FOOTBALL GAMES, IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. AT LEAST, I'LL ALWAYS HAVE THOSE MEMORIES.

How good is he?

BY HE, I MEAN GOD. AND IT'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION I'M ASKING, IT'S MORE OF A STATEMENT. IT'S AMAZING; HIS LOVE, AND YET HIS POWER. HOW HE CAN BE SO MIGHTY, BUT YES SO PASSIONATE AND LOVING. WHAT BOGGLES ME THE MOST IS HIS FORGIVENESS. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I HAVE A LINE THAT PEOPLE CROSS WHEN IT COMES TO FORGIVENESS. YOU CROSS ME OR DO ME WRONG MORE THAT TWICE, AND YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH OUTSIDE MY INNER CIRCLE. AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME, IF EVEN POSSIBLE, TO GET THAT TRUST BACK. BUT HIM, IT'S DIFFERENT. NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU THINK YOU COULD BE, OR ARE, OR EVEN NOT REALIZE, HE STILL FORGIVES. HE STILL LOVES YOU THE SAME. TELL ME ONE PERSON THAT YOU KNOW THAT CAN DO THAT. WHO CAN NOT ONLY FORGIVE YOU FOR ANYTHING BAD THAT YOU MAY HAVE DONE, BUT TO JUST FORGET IT. WASHED AWAY, AS IF IT NEVER EXISTED. THERE ISN'T ANYONE OUT THERE. BECAUSE EVEN IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE SOMEONE, WE NEVER FORGET. WE ALWAYS HAVE THAT THERE. WHETHER IT BE BECAUSE YOU NEVER TRULY LET GO OF THE SITUATION OR PROBLEM, OR BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO BE WISER NEXT TIME AROUND, AND NOT FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP. BUT WE STILL HAVE IT THERE. NOT HIM. NOT MY SAVIOR. I KNOW I DON'T DESERVE WHAT HE PROVIDES ME, OR WHAT HE CREATES FOR ME. I DON'T DESERVE A LOVE SO AMAZING LIKE HIS. BUT I'M GLAD THAT HE FEELS DIFFERENT. NO MATTER HOW BAD ANYONE CAN BE, OR HOW DISGUSTED WE CAN BE WITH OUR ACTIONS OR WORD, HE STILL LOVES US. THAT IS TRULY AMAZING GRACE. GOD BLESS US ALL.

Something about sushi...

WHAT IS IT WHEN I EAT SUSHI? IT SEEMS THAT EVERYTIME I EAT IT, I SEEM TO GET A SINGLE RICE STUCK IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT. THIS IS PROBABLY THE THIRD TIME I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME. I REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S THERE ANYMORE, BUT STILL IT WAS THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AM I NOT EATING IT RIGHT? IS THERE AN ART OF EATING SUSHI THAT I DID NOT STUDY? IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD BE MY IMAGINATION? IT COULDN'T BE, COULD IT? I COULDN'T MAKE MYSELF FEEL THAT EVERYTIME I EAT SUSHI? IS MY MIND PLAYING GAMES WITH ME. IT KNOWS HOW IT IRRITATE ME, SO IT DOES IT EVERYTIME NOW? ANYWAY, I JUST THOUGHT I'D MAKE THAT PUBLIC NOW. I SERIOUSLY THINK SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY GOOD BOOKS ON EATHING SUSHI THE RIGHT WAY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. OVER.

Day number one....

SOMETIMES, CERTAIN THINGS HAPPEN IN LIFE THAT WE CAN'T EXPLAIN. LITTLE THINGS, BIG THINGS. DOESN'T MATTER, WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCE SOME EVENT, SOME CHANGE THAT WE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT WOULD OR COULD HAPPEN. I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I COME IN. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD GOD PUT ME IN THE PICTURE? HERE. ON THIS GRAND STAGE WE CALL LIFE. ME. I DON'T KNOW. BUT THAT'S FOR HIM TO KNOW, AND ME TO FIND OUT.

MAYBE I SHOULD START OFF BY JUST GIVING A QUICK LITTLE PARAGRAPH ABOUT ME. I'M A HISPANIC MALE, AND AS I WRITE THIS, I'M 24 YEARS YOUNG. I WAS BORN AND RAISED, AND STILL LIVING IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. I HAVE TO WONDERFUL PARENTS, AND TWO GREAT SIBLINGS. I WAS ALSO BLESSED ENOUGH TO HAVE FOUR GREAT HALF SIBLINGS AS WELL. ONE BIG FAMILY RIGHT? RIGHT. I AM VERY, VERY HAPPILY MARRIED TO A STUNNING, YET SO CUTE, YOUNG LADY. SHE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BEST, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE WITHOUT HER, OR FOR THAT MATTER, ANY OF MY FAMILY. I AM A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, CONVERTED FROM THE CATHOLIC RELIGION. I AM BY THE WAY, THE ONLY ONE IN MY FAMILY LIKE THIS, BUT THAT WILL BE A WHOLE OTHER STORY. I FEAR GOD, BUT IN THAT SAME NOTE, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COUNT THE MIRACLES HE HAS DONE FOR ME. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY HIM BACK, BUT THE LEAST I CAN DO IS TRY TO LIVE IN HIS LIGHT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

I AM CURRENTLY A GRAPHIC DESIGNER FOR A SMALL MARKETING FIRM OUT IN SUGAR LAND, TEXAS. IT IS A PRETTY STRESSFUL JOB AT THE MOMENT, BUT AGAIN, THAT IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY. I DO A LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY ON THE SIDE AS WELL. I HAVE SO MANY HOBBIES, BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST IS GAMING. I LOVE VIDEO GAMES. I WON'T GET INTO THAT RIGHT NOW. JUST KNOW THAT I LOVE VIDEO GAMES. I ALSO LIKE TO WRITE. MY DREAM IS TO ONE DAY BECOME A WRITER/PRODUCER FOR THE BIG SCREEN. I ALSO WANT TO DO SOME 3D ANIMATION LIKE PIXAR OR DREAMWORKS. SOMEDAY.

HOPEFULLY, I WILL TRY MY BEST TO KEEP THIS BLOG UPDATED AND GOING. ALSO, WITH THAT IN MIND, I CAN MAYBE ENTERTAIN, OR EVEN INSPIRE PEOPLE OUT THERE, WHO MIGHT STOP BY AND READ MY BLOGS. HERE'S TO ME!
