Hahahaha!

I love Walmart!

I'm one step closer to being able to order a wife at Walmart! Yes!!

Personally, I like the American Patriot casket. Basic with just enough fanciness.

Caskets at walmart.com

I has some more HAHA's for you...

Hahaha

From the interwebs...

This is Jack. Jack O'Lantern...

And yeah... he (well, Alycia) stuffs his, um, you know...

Are you serious?

So I came home from the Whole Enchilada parade and sat
down to read the LC Sun News. This is what I saw...

Courthouse closes early for TWEF

LAS CRUCES - Friday's kickoff of The Whole Enchilada Fiesta wasn't until 6 p.m., but more than 100 public employees got to start celebrating early.

State District Court on Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces closed at noon Friday for the three-day fiesta; trials, hearings and other court activity originally scheduled for Friday will be rescheduled. The district attorney's office closed even earlier - 11 a.m. "in observance of The Whole Enchilada Fiesta," according to a note on the door.

It's unclear if those offices' employees will be paid for a full day Friday. Deputy District Court Administrator Mark Perea and District Attorney Susana Martinez were unavailable for comment Friday.

The 29th annual fiesta, which takes place at the Meerscheidt Sports Complex on Hadley Avenue, includes music and a carnival and culminates with Sunday's three-hour preparation of the world's largest enchilada. Admission is $3 and between 40,000 to 45,000 people attended in 2008, organizers estimated.

Other area government offices did not close early for TWEF, according to spokesmen for the city and county.

The Sun-News was able to reach state District Judge Fernando Macias of Las Cruces, who said he didn't think the closure for TWEF was new this year.

But that doesn't mean everything stops for the fun, said Macias, who didn't plan to attend due to a heavy caseload next week.

"I have too much work to do," he said.

Glad to see my tax dollars going to good use.

Test

Ok, so this is a test (I'm testing a new blogging program).

I know, I haven't blogged in months but I promise to start doing it again. Not to come up with excuses, but I got one... I've been busy! That, and I'm lazy.

I take a lot of pictures and I wanna post them in places. So, I'm gonna post pics here. Yeah, I send them to my Facebook and Myspace page (simply cause it's so easy) but I'll allow you to peep into my boring little life right here on the Magic 105 site. If you've ever thought that being a DJ on da radio would be all parties and rockstars, you're about to be quite disapointed.

So bear with me and I'll have fresh postings real soon. I promise!

This past weekend was a busy one around Las Cruces and El Paso. Friday night, Look Who’s Dancing was at the Pan Am Center. On Saturday, One Night of Queen was there. Also on Saturday, you had a choice between George Lopez or Slipknot in El Paso. Technically, if you waited till Saturday to get your tickets, you woulda been outta luck on either one of those shows… they both sold out. Me and Lyndsey headed out to the Slipknot show, and Money and his girl Tara drove out as well.

The day started off OK. Woke up, grabbed lunch, stressed about work, and then drove out to the show. Little did we know that once we got there, we’d end up having to park on the other side of El Paso!

OK, so I’m exaggerating a bit. We only had to park about 3 blocks away from the venue. It’s still a long way to walk when you don’t even like walking down the hall, ok? And it was cold, too. Pablo ended up in the same boat, different parking lot.

So we head on in, not expecting to be packed in like sardines. And rubbing up against sweaty guys who just got out of the mosh pit is not my idea of a good time. Anyway, we find a safe place to hang out with some other Bravo Mic peeps and get ready for the show to begin.

Due to the fact that we couldn’t find parking and we’re delayed in getting into the venue, we missed Trivium but we got to see some of Coheed and Cambria, and got to see all of Slipknot (check out my pics here). And I gotta say, Slipknot put on one heck of a show. Kinda loud, but I think it’s simply because I’m turning into an old fart. Haha

So we’re all pumped up after the show, but ready to head back to Cruces. Pablo heads out first while Lyndsey and I hang out for a bit. And this is where it all goes downhill…

My cellular telephone rings… it’s Pablo. Bad news… his car got towed.

Now I’m worried and hoping that my car is still parked where I left it. So me and LG head out to the car and find out it’s right where we left it.Whew. In the car and off we are to pick up Pablo and Tara so that we can make our way to the tow place.

Easier said than done.

We stop and pick up Pablo and Tara, then embark on our journey only to discover that the directions that we received from the tow place are completely wrong. Make a left here, turn right there, stop and stick your finger... um, you get the idea. Even the GPS on Lyndsey's phone was freakin' confused! After driving around in circles for about an hour, we thought we were on the right track... and so was the longest train ever. We waited for this super train to pass only to find oud that it wasn't going to. The dang thing stopped. Right in front of us. Right when we we're hot on the trail of finding this god forsaken tow place.

OK, not a big deal but it was at the time. What else could go wrong, right?

We back up and head back in the direction that we've already gone KNOWING that we were prolly feet from the impound lot before the train decided to stop for a potty break.

Stupid train --> <-- Stupid train.

To make a long story short (too late for that, I guess), we found our destination shortly thereafter. Pablo and Tara get their car and me and Lyndsey head off to find some Taco Cabana (after a much needed bathroom break).

Yeah... this is how us radio people spend our Saturday nights. Exciting, huh?

Oh, and to top it off... come to find out, someone hit my car in the parking lot at the show and cracked my tailight.

<-- (heart)broken tailight

Fun stuff, huh?

I Want My Blankie

I wanna go to sleep. I'm sitting here at work right now and I can barely keep my eyes open. I wish I had a cool story to tell you as to why I am so tired, but I don't. What it is that is making me so sleepy is the pill I took two hours ago.

I get headaches. Migraines. They can get pretty bad at times. So I went to see a doctor. My doc was outta the office so I had to see someone else and he prescribed me Topamax to prevent my headaches. The problem with Topamax is that it makes you stupid. That was one of the biggest reasons why I decided to stop taking it. I couldn't spell. The easiest words, I'd have trouble spelling. In additions to being stupid, other reported side effects were:

• Walking funny (yeah... walking funny)
• Blood clots
• Vision problems
• Hallucinations (although that seems kinda fun)
• Suicidal thinking
• Kidney stones
• Hemorrhoids (and that doesn't sound like a good time to me)
  

And a whole lot more...

So, I decided to head back and see my regular healthcare provider. She gave me a couple things to take... one is for when I get those migraines and the other was a pill to take everyday. Twice a day, in fact (I can't remember the name right now). The problem is that about an hour or two of taking it, I get sleepy. Whether I'm at work or at home on the couch watching TV, I get sleepy. And when I get sleepy, I wanna, well... sleep.


Now here's my problem... I'm at work. And the bosses don't like it too much when their employees sleep on the job. But I'm kinda curious to know what would happen if I did fall asleep here at work. Would someone wake me up? I bet Money would. He seems like the type of guy who would wake me up. Ya know, after taking a Sharpie to my face. And there's not a lot of places to run off to when a quick nap is all that's needed. There are a couple empty offices where one might be able to slip into but I don't think it'll be comfortable enough to sleep in. You'd have the constant worry that someone is gonna come pokin' around and find you sleeping peacefully under a desk.

So at this point, I think I'm screwed. I cant go home. I'm not sick so I can't exactly use that excuse. I just have to suck it up and stay awake. It's times like these that make me wish I worked for Google. Don't they have nap time or something??

Anyway... I need to get back to work. I'll blog about something a little more worth your time tomorrow.

Huh?

I actually saw this picture on the CNN website back in September when they we're reporting on Hurricane Ike...


I thought it was kinda funny (cause they were reporting on a hurricane and they had a picture of a dude pretending to be blown away... know what I mean?).

I know it's been a couple weeks since I last spit out a blog, so here comes a new one. Prolly nothin' to write home about, but whatever. I'm dying. I have a bad headache. But neither sleet or snow or wind or DUST is going to keep me from blogging today. The fact that I really have nothing to say isn't going to stop me either!

In my last blog, I mentioned my life long dream of having my pictures show up in Google Earth. Well, that dream is about to come true. A week ago, I found out that my pictures will be in Google Earth. Yippee. But they won't be up for a couple weeks. So, once they release the next update, while your cruisin' around Las Vegas, you'll be able to click on the little blue boxes and see some of my pictures.

Yeah, yeah, I know that's not exciting like winning the lottery but it's just kinda neat having your pictures out there where they can be seen by thousands of people. Know what I mean?

Aight, I gotta run... commercials need to be made. Me and the Money have vowed to blog at least once a week so make sure you check back often.

Peace...

I Have a Dream

And that dream is that someday, I get my pictures posted in Google Earth. It's a life long dream. So I opened a Panoramio account and uploaded some.

Oh, my other dream is that my upstairs neighbors stop playing football in their living room. And kitchen. And bedrooms (especially the one above mine).

BTW... I just realized that my headline sorta fits in with Monday being Martin Luther King day but I have to confess that it was simply a coincidence.

New Blog...

Money was ready for a new blog and he finally made the jump and set one up. I figured that I couldn't let him do it alone and I joined him. For me, however, it was more the fact that we haven't been able to upload pictures to our blogs in the past couple of months and I'm not smart enough to figure out what the problem is. So now, I have a new blog as well. And I'm damn excited to be able to post my picture of me as Lenka.

Enjoy the new blog. I promise to try and update it more often...
