All I Do is Win

           Well, tonight is an amazing and historic night. The Texas Rangers baseball team has clinched the ALCS title to go to the World Series. I am ecstatic, being a fan of any sports team from Texas, but especially from Dallas. I am so excited, the World Series, the last dance. Going to that old stadium as a kid and then going to the new one as an adult and being denied the chance to see one of the greatest series of American history. Finally, to get to see that happen, to see the excitement in the air and the fans that you don't even know coming up to you and saying, "The Rangers in the World Series, can you believe it?" Oh, yes I can. I knew it would take a dedicated man like Nolan Ryan to get the Rangers to a spot after the initial first round, but this is more than I imagined someone could pull off in one season. So, here is to the Rangers, my team. WE WILL WIN, WE WILL PREVAIL!

Let the Bodies Hit the Floor

OK, I am back! If anyone is under a rock out there, something big is happening, game 3 of the MLB Playoffs with Texas and New York was a SHUTOUT by the Rangers. 8-0 Rangers tore into the Yankees with 6 runs in the 9th inning. Awesome job guys, finally the Rangers name will mean something, not just that team that can't win. I have been a fan of all my local teams since I can remember. Will never go against the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, and Rangers.

So, I have been mainly playing on Modern Warfare 2, I love killing my pix-elated friends, it is fun. I can shoot them and stab them with no worries of jail time. I am all about sneaking and finding that one guy that I can just run up behind and kill. Ahhhh, satisfaction.

Well, getting tired, so this is good night.

The 2 O'Clock Shadow

Ahhhh, New fun!

OK, some things that are coming up and are fun and interesting. A few notes, some of these links or references are for adult audiences I have warned you. First off, I am a video gamer, one of the best games in its genre is releasing its third installment Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. This should be interesting and fun, it seems like they have expanded on the last installment and took it a step further. You now recruit for the Assassins, this looks fun. Also, if you are near a Gamestop you can preorder and if you do this before 9/27/10 and register online, you can be part of the beta. I know I am, multiplayer, even more interesting.

Secondly, one new sow that caught my eye is the new HBO series Boardwalk Empire. One of my favorite actors is in there Steve Buscemi. Always impressed by his performances. If you are not familiar with his name, he was in movies like Armageddon, The Big Lebowski, Reservoir Dogs as Mr. Pink, and Pulp Fiction. Anyway, if you like a little bit of gangster and historical, this is a good show. It is about the prohibition era, very interesting and a fictitious back story.

SO, I hope this will keep some of you interested and entertained for a little while. Will be back with more suggestions later. OH, and the beard has changed.

Have fun,

Apology to my Bartender

The prior post was a bit harsh, I would like to take this time and apologize to my bartender. Here goes, I know that I was a bit too open about my opinions the other night, I hope that you can forgive me and will not keep me from my beer.

There, but in all seriousness, the bartender in question is a good guy, I realize now that I, being the long time bar-goer, was the better option to deal with at that time. I was leaving anyways, and I respect them enough to stop myself and back down on their request. Any of you who tend to get a bit fussy at times need to learn this, you will be the better person by leaving and preventing a serious situation for those people, they have to deal with some dumb asses at times, adding to that does not help.

Hope everyone has a good time next time they go out, just remember this.

What Happened?????

So, I had an awesome weekend. I got to spend time with someone that cares for me. I enjoyed that immensely. I also got to spend time in her arms, which is better than anything in the world.

Yet tonight I had a woman actually confront me, which was interesting, she was a bit harsh and somewhat of a bitch. I advised her that she was possibly drunk and should just stop talking. Her date decided this would be the time to make his impressive move. What a dumb ass. I as a gentleman advised that I was going home, yet he still advanced. I was then led out by the bartender. I felt that I was unjustly led out, I had been a customer for a while and have NEVER had any issues, yet now, I was the one that was told to leave. This upsets me due to the fact that I had a relationship with the bar and now I was the one in the wrong, because of the fact that one woman decided that was the night she was being a bitch, telling me I was not a man and had no one that cared for me (in her words). So, I say, who is right? I was willing to just forgive and forget, yet she kept on.

Love Today

Well, here we are again, but, this time had to restrain myself and get someone to go home. I know, odd, but so wish I had the chance this week to spend more time with her. Now, on to the more important. I had the best night I have had in a LONG time, my good friend was there and my new friend. We had a blast, my new friend actually got up and sang karaoke for the first time, I was ecstatic that I was there and was able to be a part of it. It is a serious moment. If anyone out there has not done karaoke, you need to. It is the best stress relief ever. But I am glad that my new friend came, she was fun, had a great time. Now I am not expecting her to go all out, but, might be able to bribe her to get up and sing. Well, getting tired here, hope everyone has a good night or day depending on when you read this.

OK I know some of you in my position, you work a strange schedule. I work 10 hour days and my weekend is in the middle of the week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Well, I finally have got to my weekend, I am so happy, hopefully get to see someone I have missed and hopefully more karaoke, with her it is fun. Anyway, Just a short one, but look on my links for places I go or hear about. I have new links. If you are familiar with DFW area in Texas, that is where some of these are. But if you are ever in the area you can go and have fun. Well, you will hear more rants and raves from me. Don't forget to follow my blog if you like it. If not, well, don't. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend they have, don't just hork it down. Hehe.

Food for the soul!!!

Well, new info on a great place in Addison, TX. If anyone is interested here is the link. Buttons Restaurant One of my friends is the manager there and will definitely make SURE you are having a good time. I have heard one of the menu items is Fried Chicken and Waffles, true soul food. I have never had this and their version sounds like heaven on a plate. I will report back here to let you know how everything is, so subscribe and you will find out. Anyone in the area needs to go. There is also a meatloaf plate that is second to mom's, if she makes meatloaf, so I have heard. So all you people out there need to go out, have fun and get some soul in you at this place.

Next, it has been raining for a while, finally stopped and has taken a break, anyone in the DFW area that was affected by the flooding and/or the tornadoes, hope all is ok. We had some fun here with the waterfalls at my apartment. The steps to my apartment become a beautiful waterfall when this happens, I will take pics next time.

The other big news is that the combat troops are coming home, to all of you expecting loved ones, congratulations and let them know that at least this blogger respects what they do. They follow their orders and does what needs to be done. Even with all the backlash, I know they had a job to do and sometimes might not be what they wanted, but had to do. Welcome home guys, have a beer on me... just don't send me the tab, :).

Finlay, I am happy to report that school is back and has been for a few weeks, I know my house is quieter, ahhhhh. Hope all you people who are in school do well, so good luck, but remember, sometimes what they teach you has the response time of a telegraph. Learn what they do, but think for yourself and go find out on your own.

Have fun always,
The 2 O'Clock Shadow

Wow, Serendipity

So, as you may or may not know, I have been looking for someone to just be with and make happy. Well, this past week, the reason I haven't been keeping up, I have met someone who shares my likes, dislikes, passions, and loves. She is someone that every man hopes they find. I have been on cloud nine for a week now, and there is no sign of landing. I hope everyone finds that someone, that person that "gets" them. Find that person and hold on for the ride, hopefully yours will be as eventful as mine. But, on to the other stuff.

For the first time in years I sat down with my son and watched WWE Wrestling. This is the best thing in the world, a male soap opera. I forgot how much bad acting and funny this was. I do remember in my acting class back in college a guy who said he was in the class to help his wrestling career, I almost burst out laughing, but couldn't help but ask, "Really, acting? that is why you are having a career stall?" He was a good guy, but couldn't help but laugh.

This week has been also when the idiots at work come out of the woodwork. I deal with car insurance (I know, everyone hates it, don't email me for just that though). I still wonder about the people who seem to not be able to pay their bill, yet have a 2010/2011 Sports car on their policy. I am having trouble paying, I an just saying, then don't get a new vehicle because it looked pretty on the lot, do your numbers and see about your situation before it happens. to help out, just understand simple basics, if you get a new car, it will go up.

So, this is the 2 O'clock Shadow, have fun.

The Day of Discovery

Well, I had a good day, did some chores around the house, cooked dinner, had some fun asking questions to someone I just met. I went out to karaoke, had more fun, this was just a day that wouldn't end, or at least I wish it didn't have to. So, to leave you I will give you a gift of the Dan Band, these guys are funny. Hope you enjoy it. It is a remake of Total Eclipse of the Heart. If you want to see it, look it up on you tube, I don't want to put it here due to the language, some little kid might find it and then I will have parents emailing me telling me I taught there kids bad language. So go there, you will like it, it is funny, but I warned you there is some language in it. So there is your warning, so don't blame me.

The 2 O'Clock Shadow

So, this blog is going to basically be a sounding board for me. I must admit the name was hard to come up with. But I did, my beard is one that competes with Homer Simpson, I can grow a new beard, after shaving, in a week. I might even post my pictures of different beard styles I do to entice you people to read. I will post everything from what I am thinking, to reviews, to my life that day. I need to do this just to vent at times, so read anyway, it might make you laugh or just think. So hopefully this will be fun, part of my first post as well is something my friend showed me.



Its just funny and you will find yourself just saying in an english accent all the sudden and just start laughing. I know I do.

And here is your first bearded post as well.
