My work allowed all employees to sign up for two free tickets for the Independence Bowl. I’m not normally into football, unless it’s LSU playing, but I figured it was free, and I’ve never actually been to a football game in real life. It was pretty fun. It was Alabama vs. Colorado. Apparently, I’m supposed…
Apparently LSUS doesn’t hate me. They’ve admitted me into their Masters of Business Administration degree program, not that the requirements are all that stringent. I’ve just been waiting forever to get something in the mail from them, so this is finally some good news. Unfortunately, I have to go listen to them drone on about…

I finally had my graduation ceremony Wednesday, December 19th. Some friends and family went with me to Buffalo Wild Wings afterward, and that was fun. I had a lot of leftover wings though, and against Bill’s advice, I ate them Saturday for lunch. I think I might have gotten food poisoning. Last night, I went…

Firestone has just made my shitlist. Tonight, after work, I drove all the way across town away from my house to get my hair cut. I wanted to look "presentable" for pictures tomorrow since I’m graduating tomorrow night. After I did that, I drove way back over to the Time-It Lube on Bert Kouns to…
I can’t believe it’s over. I had my last final tonight and I ended up not even having to take it! My teacher decided to let us drop our lowest grade, and I had an A in the class already, so I didn’t even take the final. That leaves me with 2 As and 2…

My stupid Motorola Q died, so I had to send it off to Motorola, since it’s still under warranty from them and I didn’t buy Sprint’s stupid warranty. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, and I wasn’t even that upset to pay them shipping. They said in the instructions to send no accessories…

It smells like rotting flesh in my house. It’s absolutely horrible. I’ve been through this before. Some animal has taken it upon itself to crawl up inside my attic and die. Then my house smells like death for a week. You’d think I’d have to do something about it, but I’ve ignored it in the…

I normally don’t post “Dear blag, here’s how my life is going” posts, but I haven’t posted in a while, so I suppose one of those is better than none at all. Last weekend was pretty busy, so here goes. On Friday (10/19/2007), I helped Jenny move a bunch of heavy stuff from her old…
Tonight was Joey ‘s birthday dinner. He and a friend, who I will mention later, were celebrating the same night at a Japanese restaurant named Kobe. After the food and tip, it cost me $30. Chris and Jen went with me. Jen has already written a blog post about the night. I knew it would…
Today, Chris Leon, Bill Porter, and I took Jenny Roe shooting. I think Bill put it well when he said that taking someone else shooting is one of the most fun things you can do in shooting. I took a bunch of pictures since it was Jenny’s first time and put them on facebook and myspace. The videos of her shooting a .45 and a 20 gauge shotgun are below.
This has been the best summer ever. Summer usually sucks because it’s so hot and walking outside makes me feel like I’m melting. However, last month (July 2007), it rained 18 out of the 31 days and all the other days it was cloudy. This has to be the coolest July I’ve ever experienced in…
I saw the new Harry Potter movie on Friday, and it was pretty disappointing. Keep in mind that my comments come from the perspective of someone who has never picked up a Harry Potter book, but this movie was just boring. I don’t know if it is true to the book of the same name…

I have had intermittent allergy problems since I was a child. I knew that I was allergic to cats, dust, and feathers, since that’s what my parents told me, and I knew from experience with cats. I’ve never had an adverse reaction to Chris Leon ‘s cat, however, and Darwin rubs all on me when…
I just got back from the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area on Sunday. I left Friday, May 18th and got back Sunday, May 27th and I stayed with my friend Mike in Grapevine, Texas. I had a lot of fun, which was mostly due to Six Flags Over Texas. I purchased a Season Pass here and Courtney, Mike, his girlfriend Heather, and I went there on various days. In total, I probably spent over 48 hours at the park.

I am writing this post because of Jen. She pointed out that I haven’t blogged in forever. I thought it was worth posting though, if for nothing else than to show up Chris’ blog ging abilities. I passed the Microsoft 70-536 and 70-528 tests. That means I’m MCTS certified on Web, Windows, and SQL Server…

My solution has now been included in a published book about ASP.NET for SQL Server This post is about programming and ASP.NET / Microsoft SQL Server 2005, so any of my friends who aren’t programmers won’t find this interesting. With that said… If you’re reading this post, it’s more than likely that you’ve encountered the…
