How do I blog thee? Let me count the ways.
Wow, that was lame.
So then, onto todays happenings.
Tonight I will be experiencing the ultimate in traditions here in Houston. The event I'm speaking of is of course the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I know I know, it sounds about as podunk as humanly possible. But in actuality it's a huge multimillion dollar event. In fact the event is so big that the Houston Rodeo went in halvsies with the Houston Texans to get the brand new Reliant Stadium built. They're that important to the city. As a matter of fact the Houston Rodeo gives away something like 15 million dollars in scholarship money each year, so it's more than just watching grown men ride around on bulls and dodging horse and cow crap while walking around the livestock show.....but of course there's lots of that too. This year our concert of choice for the night we're going turned out to be Clay Walker, which isn't so bad as far as country acts go. I would have preferred ZZ Top but I had to work that night. Such is life. Interestingly enough, last year was the only year in my entire 28 years of life that I didn't go to the rodeo. FUN FACT: I appeared in the local newspaper, the Houston Chronicle in a picture in this ridiculous old west looking get up when I was about three years old at the rodeo. I guess I was just too adorable for their photographers to pass up so there I was, complete with story of my short little life. Figures that my one shining moment in the public eye and I looked like Roy Rogers, Jr.
Unfortunately this weekend I have to work, which at my job means a lot of staring at the walls and doing nothing while simultaneously being completely by myself. I might as well be working at a funeral parlor, it's that exciting. Oh well.
The Rockets finally deemed it necessary to win a game last night, pulling to within one game of the final playoff spot in the West. I read how despite there being an Asian community of around 400,000 in Toronto, they booed Yao Ming everytime he touched the ball. Sore losers I guess. Besides, it's Canada. They know not what they do. I'd be pissed too if my claim to fame was lumberjacks, hockey and crappy beer.
My main man Chad is coming down for my birthday and that's gonna rule like nothing has ruled before. It's been almost five years since I went to visit Chad up in Ohio. It doesn't seem like that long at all, but it was the same week I met my wife. Chad can tell you how I spent a little too much time on the phone with her up there. But it was a blast. We caught an ECW show live and hung out with the "other" Chad and I schooled his overgrown gimp-kneed butt in basketball. Ah, the memories. And who can forget making fun of people at the movie theater when we went to see Baseketball? And, as always...that herb don't hurt me. <----inside joke
Anyway, that's enough for now. I've got places to go and people to see....
Not really, but I ran out of things to say. In closing let me add...
Chad are you ok?
Are you ok?
Are you ok, Chad?
Chad, are you ok?
I said Chad are you ok?
Are you ok, Chad?
You've been hit by, you've been hit by a smooth criminal.
