GOD IS THE ULTIMATE TAG TEAM PARTNER IN

THERE ARE TIMES when I find myself wrestling with life and its tribulations. It can be pretty overwhelming.

I remind myself that I cannot go at it alone. My parents brought me up to pray to GOD.

GOD is the ultimate tag team partner.

If I ever forget that or swim in a sense of futility I quickly look to the corner and tag THE CREATOR in!

Being human I can find it too easy to drift to despair.

GOD: I have faith in YOU. Please be with me!

POE'S ANGRY JOHNNY: SONG OF THE DAY

It looks like a rough ride today! Buckle up! Listen to the song of the day: Poe's Angry Johnny.

Charge!

NADA SURF

NADA SURF'S song POPULAR sounds like a cross between Dear Abby for high school students and a tough as nails teen contemporary giving a teen gal advice on dating and break-ups.

Nice tune. It grew on me! (After 5 listens at different times of this year and December 2010!)

REM'S NEW SONG UBERLIN

Wow! What a great Monday! We heard REM's new song UBERLIN. Their new album will be released on March 4, 2011.

IT sounds pretty good. REM at its best!

GO PACKERS...GO JETS

THIS IS IT! CHICAGO BEARS VERSUS GREEN BAY PACKERS! NEW YORK JETS AGAINST THE PITTSBURG STEELERS!

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

I am not very fond of either the Cheeseheads or the Blowhards from Chi-town. I pretty much have a disdain for the Steelers.

Go PACKERS. GO JETS!

SUPER BOWL FEVER SEASON....

PUNKY KIDS ( SNOTTY BRATS)

WHERE DO PUNKY KIDS...READ snotty brats, disrespectful youngsters COME FROM?
MOSTLY they come from parents who lack the parenting skills to raise normal and decent youngsters! The short answer is this: Punky kids come from punky parents.

I have had the disgust and misfortune to meet some of these snot brats. Most often they are lazy and whiny little spawns of their adult versions.

What? Is it a surprise? Nope. A kid is given all the toys and luxuries and then expected to magically delicious morph into a stable, decent human being who becomes a member of society. It is not that easy.

How about teaching your offspring to respect others? How about instilling in them a lovely work ethic? How about spending valuable quality time with them? They don't need all the video games in the world. They need to know that their parents care for them and YES love them!

Don't seem so surprised if your kid turns out to be a lazy, negative spirit package who lives off of creature comforts and sports an uncaring vibe all through his existence!

Be a parent not a toy store free bee! Buzz that off! Be a parent!

THE HUISACHE BLOOMS

About 2 weeks ago I saw my first huisache "flower" on my favorite Rio Grande Valley thorny tree. YOU know what I am talking about don't you? The yellow round furry like ball bloom that transforms the H-Tree into a yellow lovely every Early Spring and Spring!

I try to keep a record of when I see my first Huisache bloom. Mostly, I keep horrible records!

Maybe I should get my own little notebook for that purpose?

PHANTOM FM 105.2 DUBLIN, IRELAND'S HOME OF ROCK

The cold front seems to be coming in and I find myself taking a break by listening to PHANTOM FM 105.2 DUBLIN, IRELAND'S HOME OF ROCK!

FANTASTIC MUSIC!

I also caught Michelle Doherty with her lunch time show this morning sometime in the 5ish 6 something in the AM! Great Show!

Why wander in Radio Dial Desert when you can rock with the Phantom via the world wide web?

Dublin is lucky to have this fine rock station!

FEA SANGRONA MALEDUCADA ON THE STREETS OF SPEED

DID YOU check out Streets of Speed (The Speed Zapper) with Ryan Wolf last night on Channel 4 KGBT? Mr. Wolf was in a school zone in San Juan, Texas. He encountered a woman who openly mocked him while he had a police officer with him! She pretty much dissed him by using his line mockingly Do you know how fast you were going?" I think that was the line.

THEN she closes her window to her vehicle high and makes the police officer reach up to give her the ticket for speeding.

I dub this jerk of a woman FEA SANGRONA MALEDUCADA!

wHAT A BLEEP-BLEEP SHE IS!

Shameless.

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE FINE FOLKS AT VITALIS MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICE IN MCALLEN!

SPLITTING SECONDS

Splitting seconds...
time has a vendetta against me
and a knife to my neck...
bleeding itself
thin metal
on the off switch.
lost in a dark ditch.
what a witch time can be with me!
cast a spell
hail a taxi
going into town with one eye on the future
and one on the past.
turn the key
unlock the possibilities of love...
spell check your memory!
exclamation points are on the scoreboard!
wandering in Portland
Maine
just to jog this conscience free!
Sin sucks
it's a nasty spiritual vampire!
come home with me
help me split the seconds!

NUKIE HAS TO DANCE

NUKIE HAS TO DANCE.

THE TUCSON TRAGEDY

The Tucson Tragedy comes at a time when we were watching the dust settle in a heated and hateful election cycle. ARIZONA once again in the news.....

Nutjobs with sick minds and guns will always be out there in our fair and great nation.

Jared Loughner had no criminal record. Friends and strangers said he was an odd duck. Some were not even shocked that he went on that shooting spree that killed 6 at a supermarket meeting with constituents hosted by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Loughner had mental problems. A lone wolf with a gun. Could he been stopped? These types are hard to zero in on. At least some law enforcement officials say.

WE hope Ms. Giffords survives and pray for her and the families of the six victims of this sensless crime.

MEETING ROCKET ISMAIL

I am usually off on Saturdays. (Now and then I work on the day after Friday and it becomes quite an adventure most of the times...one day I will tell you all about it!)

WE headed into town at about 9:00 AM. We would make a payment, buy some milk, 2 three liter colas, and Chocolate Abuelita.

We went down Shary Road and then zipped west on the frontage road to catch Conway south. A nice little cruise on a Saturday morning from the 107 area. We stopped at the Mission HEB near the Border Theater.

After that we stopped at the HEB on 495 and Conway. Why? To purchase milk and 2 three liter sodas.

We then hit a dollar store. No Chocolate Abuelita there. At this point time had decided to sprint on us. Tempus Fugit. Time Flies.

We ended up at the Walmart on the 3 Mile Line. I went in through the McDonalds entrance. Yes, the hamburger joint is to the left as you enter Walmart. I saw a table and a chair and some Dallas Cowboys shirts. I went by there on a quick zip and then grabbed the Chocolate Abuelita and a Walmart brand bag of cheese curls. Crunchy at $1.49.

I stepped into line behind a Winter Texan that was having a hard time getting the correct cash back. The machine wanted him to take $100. HE wanted $40! The cashier took care of the matter for him. I glanced back at the spot where the TV was blaring old Dallas Cowboys highlights from the 1990's. That's when I saw 2 women standing to the side of the chair and table. I saw the sign that read: Rocket Ismail 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. The Notre Dame educated Dallas Cowboys wide reciever would be there signing autographs and chatting with fans! I paid for my items and walked on over to stand in line!

The Rocket was a very down-to-earth gentleman who was polite and happy to meet fans. I had my camoflauged Dallas Cowboys cap that I received as a Christmas gift at work signed and then a picture of Number 81 autographed made out to my brother!

I was very surprised to see and meet him!

Thank you Dollar Store for not carrying Chocolate Abuelita!

NO SURRENDER BY SISTER KILLCYCLE

SISTER KILLCYCLE HAS A BRAND NEW SONG CALLED NO SURRENDER. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME SONG. WE WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS A METALLIC LONG SONG WITH MOVIE THEME SONG CAPABILITIES.

We would cast Jennifer Aniston in a psycho-thriller suspense flick.

Excellent song by this group. Great guitar work that soars. Everything is in place on this tune!

Genre: Alternative, Gothic, Rock.

VERY NICELY DONE!
THIS BAND MUST SOUND GREAT LIVE!

Football pundits may view it as a meaningless win.

True Cowboys fans see it for what it really is: A VICTORY AGAINST THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES!

GO COWBOYS!

THE LITTLE OLD MAN WITH THE RED GAS CAN

WE had just stopped for a soft drink on the way home. We noticed a little old man walking towards the store. My brother was waiting for me in the truck as I made the beverage purchase. I fumbled with some loose change. I paid the clerk.

I encountered the little old man with his red gas can. He asked for a bit of change. I gave him about 29 cents. It clearly looked like he needed dough for his vehicle which I surmised he must have left to the east of the store.

I hopped on the truck and gave my brother the 7-UP he had requested and I opened my RC Cola can. I had had an urge for Royal Crown Cola. Being the RC Knight that I am.

My brother asked me if I had encountered the little old man and I said yes. I had given him 29 cents.

We had very little on us, but we gave.

A rule of thumb: carry loose change or small bills in your pockets so as not to "advertise" your huge bills in your purse or wallet. Use your head and your heart.

Sometimes we may run into folks that are not as benign.

GOD comes to us in many persons.

DRUNK PHONE CALLS

WE got a nasty phone call from a drunk woman from South Padre Island. Wow. She was really blitzed!

Party-Animal. I wonder if Spuds McKenzie was there with her?
