She's back!!

I love Mike Polk.

Seriously, the end is the best part.

Cleveland...Sucks?

WOLVERINES!!!

OMG - I cannot wait for this remake! I've been waiting my whole life for the next Red Dawn!

(I like how they've changed the Russian/Cuban communists to Russian/Chinese communists.)

If life were a musical...

Some people want their life to be a musical... some demonstrate what it will look like:

God Bless Texas

I'm not sure where I can say this without fear of a.) being shunned, b.) being shot, or c.) being shunned, then shot...but I am going to put it out there anyway - I miss Texas.

I miss roadtrips that spanned 9 hours and still left you wandering within the state's borders. I miss pastures, mesas, deserts, and rolling green Hill Country. I miss the belt buckles, the dress "jeans", the Wranglers, and the cowboys in Wranglers. I miss Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth, the museums of Dallas, and baseball at Ranger's stadium. I miss the way Shiner tastes in a pitcher at Duddley's, stubbing my toe on bottlecaps in Bottlecap Alley, and corps guys that hold doors. I miss stopping at the Czech stop in West, TX, the Braum's in Decatur, and the drive through Denton. I miss watching thunderstorms as they roll in, wearing flip flops in November, and playing pool-side in October.

I love this city, but I would never trade the years spent in Texas for anything.

I've not yet found my "place" here. I have my closest friends here, a wonderful apt. and roommate, and a great job. Despite the wonderful opportunity I've been given, I'm still feeling displaced. I know it's simply a matter of time before it begins to feel like "home".

But where's that "Southern hospitality" when you need it?
