Bag of Randomness

eohZwLa

  • Yesterday I discovered that my last eight or ten tweets haven’t been posting to my account because they all have been pictures that I was sending to the now defunct Twitpic.
  • I’ve never eaten at the famed Joe T. Garcia’s.
  • The Wonder Woman movie may actually be pretty legit now that Michelle MacLaren is set to direct and develop it.  If you aren’t familiar with her work, she executive produced and directed a lot of ‘Breaking Bad’  and ‘X-Files’ episodes and directed episodes of ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Game of Thrones’.
  • Off hand, I’m not thrilled with the choice of Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch starring in the next ‘True Detective’.
  • I recently watched the Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt movie Edge of Tomorrow and was pleasantly surprised, it’s a highly under-rated movie.  You can think of it as an action packed sci-fi Groundhog Day.
  • Barry over LiberallyLean.com will often make the point about how he doesn’t understand how any grown male over 40 cares about who wins a professional sports game.  Lucky for me, I have about nine-and-a-half months left.  My passion for all sports has declined over the years as my perspective of what’s really important has broadened, but for me, it reminds me of the bond I had with my late father.  We didn’t connect on a lot of things, but watching the Cowboys together is a feeling I never want to slip away, and I like the feeling I can be connected with a community and not have to have tuition dollars tied to it.
  • Funny thing, but even though I can see why people would root for a college team for the reasons I stated for a professional team and many more legitimate and sentimental reasons, I always get the feeling college fans are the kind of folks that can’t let go of their youth and refuse to think that the best time of anyone’s life is the college years.  Whenever I see someone’s house flying a flag from their college I just want to go all Elsa on them and yell “Let It Go!”.
  • And yes, I like the Longhorns and I never was a student (except for a business certification class), but to me, it’s more of a state pride thing that started when I learned how neighboring states would meet almost halfway on a neutral field to a game.  It may not make sense to you, and it’s not suppose to, but it does to me.  And the way college sports has changed over the last thirty years, you might as well call it professional.
  • I mentioned the best years of anyone’s life may be in college.  While an undergrad, I was a leadership minor and had the Dean of Life (or whatever his title was) for a class.  He was told us that if we thought college was the best years of our life, we might as well point a gun to our head and pull the trigger.  That moment had a profound effect on me as I went through a mental checklist of things I thought were important moments and achievements in life.
  • How Austin’s McGarrah Jessee advertising agency celebrated the hiring of their 100th employee (YouTube).
  • I haven’t informed or educated myself well enough about the whole Ferguson situation to form an opinion.  Sure, I have my initial thoughts and feelings on the matter, but it’s based on speculation and assumption.
  • Charles Manson gives hope for all single guys out there.
  • Chicago radio hosts find out they’re fired live on air
  • Probably one of the top four most awkward moments of the Clinton presidency – GIF or YouTube

    Frustrating to read your posts; grammer and punctuation errors detract from content. Of course, if I don't like it I can choose not to read. Sorry – but I wont be hanging out to get your updates.

      Man, you are absolutely right, especially regarding today's post. At first I thought you were harsh, but I took the time to go back and read it and it was horrible. Granted, most of it was written on on my phone, but I should have taken the time to at least give it a once over before actually publishing it. I don't expect to be perfect, but what was originally posted wasn't even near decent. I made a few quick updates to make it flow better.

      You do understand that you misspelled "grammar"? Or were you talking about your dad's mother interfering with your time on the computer?

    It's easy to find better food than what Joe T's offers, but you'll love sitting in the garden on a nice day. It's awesome and Joe T's is kid friendly. So pack up the family and come on over to Fort Worth. Go easy on the margaritas, they're strong! HA

    Taylor Kitsch is the kiss of death to a project. The only thing he was good in was Friday Night Lights. Problem is you can't play every role as Tim Riggins. He's Mark Wahlberg without the charisma and string of hits.

    Joe T's is seriously overrated. It's just a place to be seen.

    I never attended UT. But if you grew up here, you're either a Texas fan or an A&M fan. That's just the way it is. Do you really want to be known as an Aggy? I think not. Hook 'em!

    Joe T's, besides being overrated, doesn't take credit cards. That alone makes me avoid it unless my in-laws insist on going there for a special occasion.

    Just saw the comment about grammar. BagOfNothing: Don't apologize! I'll be by in five to pick you up and we are going to do some big time rioting over that comment at the local Super Target. Throw some oranges. Knock over an underwear display. Drink a coke without paying for it until later. You know, hood rat things.
