Good Times!!!

Hey Guys,

Sorry for beinging a bad blogger, in fact this blog will be up for about a week before anyone comments because everyone has given up on checking to see if I am alive. Couple of things...

I went to the Troop camp out on Saturday night. Donnie would like to know if the boys have kept the Secret Troop Handshake a Secret. Especially since we got into this blogging thing.
It has been awhile since i have been on a campout and in fact I still havent been because I just stayed for part of the night, but none the less it was a great time to talk to about the good times with the Old Goats. But I think I represented the Billy (or Billie, cant remember how to spell it sorry) Goats. None the less it was great time, I got to go collect something that i had been missing for awhile (Thanks Mr. Noble). Even though I was out there for 5 hours, it was the best 5 hours i have spent in a long time. There is nothing like sitting around and talking around a campfire. I know you guys know what I mean.

Hey everyone,

Sorry about the lapse in my blogging. No real good excuses other than I lazy. Well the past few weeks have been interesting. First off on August 24th, I turned 25. I am officially a quarter of a century old. Best news, car insurance went down, which means I can save more a month and buy my motorcycle.

I also went to the Bass Hall and watched the Casa Manana production of South Pacific. I have never seen that musical before and it was pretty good, definitely not my favorite. FYI, that was my present to my Mother for her birthday, so don't think I just randomly went to the Bass Hall.

Yesterday I drove 10 hours to see Armand & Jelaine's new house. Which by the way is very cool. They are still trying to get me to move up here, but I am holding out for Justin's sake. So he can say he has one of The Boys near by, jk.

Well that is it for now, J10 I will call you when I get back to the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS!!!!

It Is Official..........

2006-08-10T23:21:00.000-07:00

It is Official... I Hate Terrorist. Ok I have worked at the airport for 2 1/2 years, and I have never had to take off my shoes ( I'm not required to take off my shoes because I am a badged employee), but not anymore. On top of that our company receives a phone call at 9:00pm from the Airport and states that we might have to remove all bottles from our shops before the morning, and they would be calling us back at 11:00pm after they talk to TSA. WTF Mate, you want me to remove over a thousand bottles of Pepsi and water in 5 hours? They responded no, we want you to remove a thousand bottles of Pepsi and water and all your lids to fountain drink cups and toothpaste, deodorant, cough syrup, chapstick, shampoo, colonge, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, and anything else that is a liquid or gel type of substance. And I repeat WTF Mate!!!!
So now I am going, okay I have 27 locations that have at least some of these products in these stores and I only have 5 people at Warehouse.

At 11:00pm the airport calls back and says okay you must remove all toothpaste, deodorant, cough syrup, shampoo, and chapstick by the morning. For now you do not have to remove your bottled drinks but there will be another meeting with TSA in the morning to see if that is going to change. As for the sauces, we can still sell them but they have to be mailed to the person's home, it cannot be taken on the airplane. To give you a better picture of how bad things where going to get, TSA was talking about get rid of condiments at fast food restaurants, WOW!

Best part was the Rubbermade tubs that were at the checkpoints, where people were having to throw liquids and gel type items into because they could not bring them in. I saw 5 ten gallon Rubbermade totes full of makeup, wine, chapstick, expensive colonge/ perfume, lotion, hand sanatizer, contact solution, deodorant, snowglobes ( I feel sorry for the kids), and anything else you can imagine. I tell you what some lucky TSA agent is going to get a lot of free wine, and get to take his wife some nice perfume.

So to sum it up I HATE TERRORIST, and do not bring liquids in your carry on items.

Blogs That Change Subjects

2006-08-08T18:22:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

I find it rather amusing that you you can ask a friend to go eat and then the conversation ends talking about Polka Dancing! I mean seriously how can you go from FOOD to Polka Dancing? But for anyone that wants to visit me down in THE GREAT STATE of TEXAS, I would be more than honored to hangout and grab a bite to eat. So catch a 3 hour plane ride, start aGerman Club and start Polka Lesssons. Armand can provide Recon at 30,000 ft and Jelaine can make sure his airplane still has good oil. Oh and Andy can you do a supply drop of Turkish Food (of course only if it is good food, if not go through the drive thru at the McDonalds there in Turkey).

Need your Help

Hey Guys,

My sister is trying to make a scrapbook for me of all my Scouting adventures, however I was never a big fan of taking pictures and it has now come back to haunt me. If any of you have any pictures of Scouting things that I can borrow and scan them into my computer it would be greatly appreciated.

Allo!!

2006-08-04T21:26:00.001-07:00

Hey Everybody,

I know I am on the hate list/ no one wants to but me on their friends list, but maybe after awhile I will be able to redeem myself. First to catch you all up from, let see from the beginning of May. Of course this will be the abbreviated version. I got a new boss in May, which is good considering I have not had one in over a year and half. My General Manager is a procrastinator to say the least, but maybe that's where I learned to procrastinate. So all of May and June I was officially in Charge of Inventory at the DFW Airport. I had to coordinate 27 store and 5 warehouse to be completely inventoried with a total of 15 million dollars in retail items in 72 hours with only 30 people. I had a mass headache after that one, but I glad to report I only needed a total of 29 hours to complete the task.

After that I went to Oregon to visit my Sister and two nephews, which are 4 and 2 now and they are absolutely hilarious. While I was there I got to ride ATVs on the Sand Dunes which was a blast, but a word of advice if you plan on doing it. DON'T GET STUCK!! You will break your back trying to get the ATV unstuck. Other than that I spent to much money but I had a blast. After being in Oregon for 18 days I returned back to Texas and unfortunately my job ( I didn't win the lottery while I was gone, but it would of helped if I actually played, minor detail). On the return trip to Texas I brought my Sister and 2 nephews, which are cute ( That is not a Bias opinion , it is prove fact, by a leading research company =). My sister and 2 nephews were in Texas for 3 weeks and we got to do some cool stuff while they were in town. We went to the National Scouting Museum in Irving, which was cool, especially the Norman Rockwell paintings they have displayed. You can also race pinewood derby cars too. It made me want to pull my pinewood derby car out of retirement, LOL. I am also proud to say the first knot I taught my nephew how to tie was a bowline, man he is smart.

Now my sister has left to go back to Oregon, and now I am free to write again. I know I will not be taken off the banned list yet, but hopefully I can soon enough.

ALIVE

Hey Guys, sorry I have been AWOL. I didn't realize I had so many people dying to read my next blog. Well this will be short considering I am extremely tired.

Well like Jelaine said I have something to blog about. So Armand moved up to Nebraska and guess who came to see me... That's right Jelaine, sorry bro. I told her not to come but she absolutely insisted. She made hang out with her and even go eat dinner. Bro you need to keep your woman on a shorter leash. Do not worry I kept her in line and civilized. You should have seen her she was singing out loud in public and dancing. Oh well, I guess you got your hands full.

President's Challenge

2006-04-11T20:53:00.000-07:00

This blog is a follow up to Armand's blog. Plus it ask a few questions.

First of all I signed up to the President's Challenge website, and started looking around and unfortunately I have to report TYPING is not an exercise. So not only can I not log my gaming hours but I also cannot log my blogging minutes. That is ridiculous!

Now for my first question it says scuba diving is an exercise, does anyone see a problem with scuba diving in a bath tub? Does that count, it does say anything about moving?

Good News for Scott, they count bowling as an exercise but you have to use more than a 5 pound ball. So I guess that is bad news for you!

However I started Cycling this week and have been 3 out of 4 days for 30 minutes. Tonight I even took the training wheels off, so I think I am improving.

Now for my last question, when yall sign up do yall see everyone else exercising activities because I don't. If you don't know what I am talking about sign up and find out.

People Watching

2006-04-02T22:42:00.000-07:00

Ok before I start this blog I did not realize how long it has been since I posted, I swore I wrote that blog last week. Oh well, moving on.

Well everyone knows I work at the airport, but some might not know what kinda of work I actually do. Well I do not do any work. I people watch! Now you can say well he is in loss prevention, he is suppose to watch people and make sure they do not steal. Well if your thinking that, you are totally wrong.

I people watch, I just sit in the terminal and watch people for the fun of it. On a good day you might see a 80 year woman with purple hair. On a really good day, well lets put it this way, it is good to be a bachelor and I LOVE HOT WEATHER!

Now the best part is after awhile you develop the art of figuring out where people have come from. For instance... If you see a woman wearing all black, that looks like she is headed to a funeral, she probably is, just kidding she is from the New York area. See business men from the west coast usually wear more vibrant ties and shirts than the business men from the east coast. But the best part about people watching the laughs you get to have. Like the other day there was lady that was wear leopard print dress, and instead of an orangish color it was bright red. Well I guess you would have to be there to understand how funny it was.

The other fun part about people watching, is actually call eaves dropping. Listening to people conversation, is hilarious at the airport. Now do not get me wrong I am not trying to pry into someone's conversation, but when you are yelling it over the phone, it becomes at open conversation to listen too.

Now the point, if you go anywhere just take a second to look around and I guarantee you will find something to laugh at.

OK now to clarify something I actually do work, at work, but I just tend to take a five minute break every now and then just to watch the crowd.

Ignorance is Bliss!!!

2006-03-18T00:13:00.000-08:00

So we have all heard the statement Ignorance is Bliss!!!

I was at work today, for those who don't know or forgot I work at the DFW Airport, and I was sitting in the office. All of a sudden I heard a police siren. Well the Curious George in me got up and took a look. Outside my office was 5 police cars and 2 fire trucks and the foam truck. The foam truck never comes out unless there is a major emergency.

So I was starting to think, man I feeling sick maybe I need to go home (joke). Back to the story, all the emergency vehicles are next to my office trying to get out of a security gate, but the gate is broken. Even in the future, nothing works!! Well a police officer gets out of his car and ask me to stand at the gate and make sure no cars enter once they leave. He says that he is having a guy come out to fix it. I said sure, then realized the gate was down why do I need to stand in front of it. Then I got my answer the police cruiser backed up and drove through and broke off the arm. Why do i always ask stupid questions?

Well, I sat around the gate for a few minutes and then I delegated my task down to someone below me, thanks Twin Arrows! Well, Curious George came out again and said lets go see what is happening. So I get in the company car and drive to the south entry gate and the police have the whole area blocked off around one car. Unfortunately I could not stop and see what was going on so I decided to go up to the terminals and make sure everything was going smooth over there.

I pull into one hour parking at Terminal C and I notice that customs officer and their K-9 counterparts were walking up and down the parking garage. This is were ignorance is bliss for the traveling public. Custom Officers don't check vehicles at the airport unless we are under Level Red alert. Poor traveling public they are walking around like any other day without a worry in the world.

I decided that was not the place to be so I went back to office. I got there and I relieved the guy I put in charge of sitting in front of the gate (great for payroll hours, he was real productive). So after a total of 2 hours after the police cruiser broke the gate the officer returned and said he would for the repair man. Again Curious George come out, man I got to but that monkey on a leash. So I asked what happened. He said TSA identified a guy on the terrorist watch list. When the Police Officers showed up he ran. He got in a car and drove to the south entry gate. They stopped his car at the gate and then the suspect said there was bomb in the car. This is where the foam truck came in. The foam truck sprayed down the car and everything around it, before the bomb squad checked it out. The customs officers, up at the terminal, were using their dogs to see if there were any bombs in the vehicles. Turns out there was no bomb and the guy was arrested, the Airport was returned to a Level Yellow.

Well since the incident took place away from the airplanes, air traffic was not disrupted, which means the traveling public had no idea what just happened, and again I repeat:

Ignorance is Bliss!!!!

Blogging

2006-03-18T00:07:00.000-08:00

Ok this is a short blog, to apologize to my faithful viewers. I know I have neglected you over the past few days and I will try to remedy this situation and try to update more often.

I am alive and more then likely I am playing Guild Wars, I truly need my computer to break so I can get out more often. It is pathetic, I know, but do not hate me.

Justin, I am sorry you didn't remember our President of the Purple Cows. He has not been very good at arranging meetings. Personally I think he is stealing from the Purple Cow trust fund. I believe we should select a new President, and I say Trey because he is currently the furthest away from the States.

Good Idea!!

2006-03-10T21:11:00.000-08:00

Ok guys, like the rest of you I was sucker into this by a friend that will remain nameless. Well here it is my infamous first Blog that will undoubtedly become an addiction, that will we all get tired of in three weeks and then we will start calling each other again.

Oh Wait a second, I don't call anyone! This might be a Good Idea!!. Way to go nameless for dragging us into this.

So I am the last of "The Boys" to do my blog. There is a good reason why I am the last, and it is because I procrastinated and the fact I was playing computer games. Not to mention, I wanted to see what everyone's Blog looked like before I started. Nameless, I think you should require the current President of the Purple Cows to join us in Blogging!
