Texas Sucks (Part 97)

Yet another reason why Texas should have a humongous wall built around it to contain the crazies that live there:

Texas crowd kills man after car hits kid

AUSTIN, Texas - A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child, police said Wednesday.
Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a Juneteenth celebration when the attack occurred Tuesday night. The man who was killed had been trying to stop the group from attacking the vehicle's driver when the crowd turned on him, authorities said.
The Austin Police Department identified the victim as David Rivas Morales, 40. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police spokeswoman Toni Chovonetz said she had no further information, including how many people were involved.
The driver was able to get away from the crowd and is cooperating with investigators, police said.
Juneteenth marks the day Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston in 1865 to share news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves two years earlier on Jan. 1, 1863.

So...I'm guessing they were pissed anyway about the whole Juneteenth concept, and they were looking for a riot waiting to happen. Texas really is 'like a whole 'nother country', just like they say on the commercials...

Ahhh, Lifehouse....

So I saw Lifehouse in March at the Tempe Music Festival, and it was just as amazing as I thought it would be. They are playing Dodge Theater tonite tho, and I won't be in attendance. Sad Sad Day in Jannaland :-(

....But their new album is coming out on Tuesday, so guess what I'll be doing at 11:59 Monday eve?!?!

Yep, You know it :-D

PS...INCUBUS will be here in September, and you betta believe I WILL be in attendance for that!

The Great Twiddling Dee!!!!

I REMOVED THIS PICTURE BECAUSE I'M NICE :-D

hmmm....

pumpkin chocolate chip cookies...dare I??? I am indeed a rebel ;-D

why, hellooooooooooooo there

Today I'm thinking about opportunities. I hate my job, ergo my life. No, I don't consider my job my life, HOWEVER, the job is what funds the life, so you see, they are intricately related. I have been applying for lots of other jobs, but nothing has really struck my fancy yet. I guess I don't really know what I want to do with myself, and until I figure that out, I might as well be making as much as possible wherever I can, since I won't be enjoying it anyway. Small condolences, eh?

My Aunt works for Farmer's Insurance, and she has given them my resume and says I will be getting a call in a couple weeks when they start interviewing. I don't know if I would love that job, but there are a number of benefits to me working there. First of all, it is closer to home than my current employer. Also, I would probably get a company car. And while it will in no way compare to the motoring experience I enjoy with the Mini (love you Bambi McBimbo!), this will save miles on her (and if they paid for gas that would be even better!). Finally, there is a mixed bag of good benefits, such as the usual health insurance stuff, plus an actual pension plan that allows employees to retire in 15 years if they wish, and my Aunt gets to work at home sometimes if she wants to.

Anyhoo, that is all for now. Rot in the clink, Paris Skanton :-D
