Need i say more

My Boys win agian

Man ok first things first, the Cowboys win!! Yea they scared me a bit but we did pull it out. Now here is the funny thing. I was looking on ebay for cowboy swag and what i found struck me as really odd. Cowboys Kleenex boxes you get 6 boxes per order for about $20. 6 boxes of tissue for $20 because it says cowboys, now i think that is going just a bit too far. But then agian is anything really too much for a die hard fan? I plan on getting a cowboys tattoo and some would say thats too far. I guess to each his own. Night

The Show

Well you know we went to the Black Crowes show and like OZ said they played for about2 hours of blues jams before you even heard a hit song. Well there is no smoking in Nokia so I was outside smoking a ciggarette and hanging out then when the Crowes took an intermission the smoking section was packed well you know me so I also sparked a joint, right as im taking a hit i hear "Big Colin", I look around and it was Ashley and her husband. Ashley was the model that was in our waterfall calendar shoot last year. Well after we finished the joint and heard them start playing agian Ashley took me with her to the front row. So i got to see most of the show from the front row. Good times. I got some good pics with my phone i will try ot upload them to my blog later on. Thanks agian Chris for the tickets it was a good time. Can't wait for tommorow. We are playing in Denton whci is always a party.

Car Problems

Ok here's my story. Thursday is payday, i got off work about 5 and went to the bank to deposit my check. There were two ladies there in the parking lot trying to jump the other ones car because her battery was dead. As I was walking in the bank I asked them if they need help. They said they thought they had it and I said i would check on them when i was finished. As I'm leaving I ask agian if they needed help and they say it wasnt chargin it. After about 20 min and using my jumper cables and car I got them off and running. 5 min after leaving to head to the store i looked down at my tempeture gauge. I watch my gauges like a hawk. lol Well my car was running hella hot so i turned on the heater and it didnt help so i pulled into a neighborhood and gave it some time to cool off so i could attempt to see what the problem was. My radiator was almost empty. That's not cool but it had been awhile since i checked it. I had a gallon of antifreeze in my car and put that in. Wasn't enough to fill it so i took the empty bottle and knocked on the door of the Plano house i was in front of and asked if they minded if i used the water hose outside to fill up my bottle. Very nice lady answered the door and said your more than wlecome to all you need. She even came outside to check on me and offer me an ice cold bottle of ozarka. What a very nice lady. From here i had to rush to Chris's house to help him record the new theme song for Kidd Krackick that he wrote. Its about a 15 min drive down 190 for me. Then after that i drove the 20 min back home the whole time my car was doing fine. Ok now it's friday morning and i get up to goto the insurance office and run errands. Well about 5 min into my trip the car is running hella hot agian. Well my best half educated guess was the themastat. So I went to auto zone bought a therastat and gasket and antifreeze and drove straight home. After replacing the thermastat we realized that the radiator had a hole in it. So I had to go back to Auto zone, out 160 bucks this time. Replaced the radiator and that problem was solved. Then found out i had a vaccum leak and had to re-run some vaccum lines. Still wasnt running right. The timing was off. Redid the timing and now it runs like a dream. So my whole Friday has been knee deep in grease. But you know what i had a good time today, a bit frustrating at times but an all round good day. Thanks to Storey who helped me. Tommorow i got to go see my lady friend:) Ok enough babbling for me night

The Boys

My Cowboys played a good game today and the best part, WE WON. I have been a cowboy fan since I was a kid. I'm really exited about our team this year with the free agents we picked up as well as our rookies. Mark my words now we WILL be in the playoffs this year as long as our key players stay healthy. It has been a great weekend of football. Texas beat Ohio State Saturday, my Cowboys win today. Life is good. Go Cowboys.

Rock show

Ok im just getting home from seeing John Mellencamp and John Fogerty(CCR) at Starplex(I know its smirnoff but it'll always be Starplex to me). It was a great show. See here's the deal. I'm jealous of most of you guys and gals. When you guys goto a concert you get to enjoy the music, the partying, the show. I don't get to do that hardly at all. When I goto a concert it is like homework. I study the players and the crowd. I watch the players to see if they do something cool so I can incorporate it into my show and also to give Chris and Oz suggestions. I watch the crowd to see how they respond to certain things to see if they think it was cool or if it was just me. Why do you goto a concert? Do you go to forget about life for awhile, have a great time with your friends drinking and dancing and partying? I used to and wish I still could. So I am very jealous of you guys that get to enjoy the show. Now don't get me wrong I had a good time and there were moments for me when I could let myself go and enjoy the show but it comes in short bursts. That is why when you come to our shows we try to give you that. Give you the escape from reality. Like Chris's song "Life" says sometimes life's good sometimes it's not, but when you come to a show you can let it all go enjoy the music, party like you have no cares in the world. So if you read these blogs email me monkeyshynebigc@aol.com and tell me why you goto a show. What do you get out of one of our shows? Let me just say for the record that the show tonight was awesome, and I really did enjoy myself.

ebay rocks my world

I dont know about anybody else but i'm hooked. I am now an official ebayer. Im in the process of building a new computer and alot of the parts i found killer deals on ebay. I mean where else can you buy a bong, bible, and grilled cheese that looks like bob hope? If your ever bored goto the obsure ebay postings. There are people selling the right to name them legally. Others offer up their body for a walking billboard though tattoos of company names for a price. The sad thing is I honestly considered it. Letting a company pay me a couple thousand dollars to tattoo their name on my body. Ebay is a cool place and im hooked. So if your bored and surfing check it out and u might become and ebayer too. Or you can go to Chris's favorite website, buttholeharmonica.com or Oz's favorite howtogetgirlstolikeyou.com. Well thats enough out of me peace.
