I had to watch the video twice to get the full understanding of it. Even then, the American "Christianity" is weird to me, especially when they get involved with politics.

Even growing up with my father being Baptist minister and being into a very religious family, I never really felt right with it and, it wasn't until college that I finally was able to somehow get away from it. I can tolerate it, yes, but when family and friends try to "preach" their faith to me...

I agree only because we finally got past the Auburn game. That matchup always makes me wary.

Thatโ€™s my sentiment if I ever decide to try it. I still nope out every time I pass it.

TIL about this, honestly. Maybe I didn't pay attention either, ha.

If that's the catalyst needed to get the Texas high speed rail project actually off the ground, I'll gladly share this post to the powers that be.

Right. In Texas, there is big three: God, Family, Football. In fact, a lot of my religious family members and friends whole basically say something like, โ€œheโ€™s a good guy. Oh, and a Christian.โ€ So that is the litmus test for them.

Itโ€™s like a breath of fresh air. I grew up in a Baptist house and Iโ€™ve seen too many different sides of Christianity that caused me to wash my hands off the whole thing when I became older. His kind is the one that actuallyโ€ฆnon-hypocritical. As a fellow Texan, he gives me hope.

An high school classmate of mine was an extra on the show and spoke highly of it. I should check it out.

I feel like I need some kind of guidance on how to effectively manage my time because it's 2:30 pm and I haven't really done any real work yet. My brain is just all over the place.

Older I get and look at Mac and Windows offerings, more likely I feel that I'll just go Linux based full-time.

Wired is excellent at journalism as well.

My A&M tenure was during Clinton administration. Decent but not as cool as Obama.

So clearly, I'm not going to get any work done. I may as well spend rest of the day watching tech videos while my brain recovers.

It seems it's one of those "take it easy" Friday afternoon after my migraine session is starting to finally let up. Twice this week now. Fun. Now I need a nap.

It's almost like you're starting to..*dons sunglasses*..grok it. I'll show myself out now.

And if youโ€™re in Houston, check out Rice Box. Great place to eat Chinese food and watch several sci-fi films on the tv screens in 80s retro future style.

I just flew in Seattle for the week from Texas. What happened?

Well..Iโ€™m a dad and my birthday is next month, soโ€ฆ

I did similar for 3 half-marathons. You would think I would have learned from the first oneโ€ฆ

Someone posted about a music video few days ago here. I thought I would share it to my work slack since the engineers have unique taste in music. Now I forget what it was. Ah...

Same. Only mine was for Wolfenstein 3D.

I proposed in front of Starbucks in a parking lot where bikers were hanging out. I was 99.999% sure she would say yes. I initially planned to do it in front of a waterwall where there would be less crowd but it was closed and I had to pivot.

I was wondering why my battery was draining so fast. Turns out it was due to sound recognition feature, which never works.

Oh no. Iโ€™m really sorry. Dogs truly are the best of us.
