Blind Leading the Blind



Art

I just did something I’m not very proud of. I knew I was having a problem, but I had to fix it. I bought my first pair of reading glasses. The feeling I have right now is just a tad above, self loathing.
This just brings me one more step closer to my mortality. I know [...]

Heat Wave



Art

I have never been able to figure out why people live in the ungodly of places. Take for example, Arizona. It is consistently hotter then hell during the Summer months and frankly, I can’t stand the heat.

So when San Antonio weather crept to a record-breaking 103 yesterday and so far at least 4 days straight with 100+ degree weather, I added San Antonio to the list of placed I wouldn’t want to live. Unfortunately, I do live here and the heat is killing me.

Green Solidarity?



Art

There is something I have to get off my chest. I know somewhere along the line, I will offend a few people, but please think of my opinion and hopefully you will understand where I am coming from.

I am a born American. I have lived all my life with the exception of 2 years in America. I am proud to be the son of a Vietnam Veteran who served during the Ia Drang battle. Think of the movie We Were Soldiers. I lived a somewhat normal childhood, but I had some bad days with my dad. It was my dad who told me that I should join the military so that it would make a man out of me. I complied.

Butch Cassidy and the Pimple Poppin’ Kid



Art

I have seen some pretty off the wall things riding the bus. I’ve seen guys drink and smoke pot on the bus, little children ready to pounce an older lady because she looked at her wrong, and little old ladies with really bad attitudes. But I have to say, yesterday took the cake.

New Information



Art

Here is a little update to my quest to ride mass transit. If you don’t remember, I was planning to ride the bus for a year, mainly because my car is not running up to par. Things are going good so far, but I remember why I hate San Antonio. It gets so freaking hot during the summer. Today it was nearly 100 degrees and the rest of the week promises to be hotter. On my weather app on my iPhone, Thursday was suppose to get to 103. I can’t wait.
