I came across this cool game the other day and thought I would share it with everyone.

I like beer, and I really like Coors, so this was a fun game for me.

Give it a try and post your score when your done. We’ll see who gets the highest score after a couple of days.

Good luck!

Times A Changing

When your dealing with a job that is based in technology you can always expect it to change every day. A programming job has a life of it’s own and sometimes I don’t agree with it. I love programming and networking but I hate the constant changing of minds on what really needs to be done to get the task at hand complete. Sometimes the end of the day is eons different than the start of the day.

I have been working on a program that would deliver online classes to registered students, a Learning Management System (LMS). I have gotten around 60% done with it when I get the word that we are going to change directions…aaaahahhhh….that means that everything that I have wrote up to this point will probably never be used. I have not figured out how to deal with this very well yet. Working for industry this would be a major NO NO…wasted time and energy equals wasted money to the company. But, working for the State of Texas this is just something that happens, sometimes daily. I am having trouble getting used to this. I guess that I just need to shut up and go with the flow. There are some of you that can relate, I bet. Casey should really know what I’m talking about being that he works for the federal government.

Nothing is ever perfect…especially a job.

Today’s Prayer for All

If you read this prayer please leave a comment so that we can all see how many people actually took the time to do so.

Dear Lord,! I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I’m blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.. I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness You offer.

And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus’ example — to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It’s the best response when I’m pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can’t pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can’t find their way. I pray for
those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don’t know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those who don’t believe. But I thank you that I believe.

I believe that You change people and You change things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly..

This is my prayer.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Fight Club

I had another cool dream the other night and this is one that I had to just tell all.

It was a cold Winter night in Roscoe and I had everybody over for our weekly OT fight night. The OT fight night was a club that James and I started in my basement…funny enough, my basement was in Midland but my house was in Roscoe…go figure, it was a dream. Anyway, it was the usual participants, James, Maabster, Easter egg man, Corey, Andy, Scott, Tim, and Casey. We all know that Casey lives out of state so you would think that it would be hard for him to be there. Nope, he had a special elevator that would bring him straight over on OT fight nights. The rules were, there were no rules and nobody talks about OT fight night. We never fought each other we always had a guest that we all beat the crap out of. It just so happened that this night we had invited the Wangster over for some fun, ;).

Now it gets good. I went first and I did moderate damage over all. The Wangster had a hard time breathing through his nose when I got done. Andy couldn’t wait so as I landed my last punch to the Wangster’s nose Andy punched him in the gut. This was not an ordinary gut punch, Andy’s hand came out of the Wangsters ass. That’s right, straight into the gut and right out the ass…wow, what a punch. James and Tim were upset because they thought it was all over at that point. But hell no, the man made in Taiwan was not going down that easily. James took over and caved in his face. Tim broke one of the Wangster’s legs and bit off one of his ears, Mike Tyson style, it was pretty graphical in my dream, very nice, I enjoyed it. Corey kept running up to him and then around him, up to him and then around him, he said that he was going to get the Wangster dizzy so he would hurl some Chinese food. Casey kept crying on Andy’s tits while Easter egg made fun of him, then Andy would slap Easter egg and tell him to stop.

While all this was going on Scott went to town on the Wangster. First, Scott had the biggest damn mullet you could have ever seen, funny. Scott pulled out this switch blade comb…flicked it open…ran it through his gigantic mullet…then went to cutting on the Wangster. He cut off the other ear, both arms, the good leg, and left a big S on the Wangsters chest, like Zaro, but Scott didn’t have a mask on. Now I know that it was a comb but somehow it was damn sharp comb. The Maabster didn’t participate, he was more interested in overhauling his car.

I don’t remember much after that other than Casey crying on Andy’s tits some more.

Enjoy.

What a Day!!!!!

Man, what a day, I feel like a toliet and somebody took a big ole nasty crap on me…and didn’t flush. It just gets worse as the day goes along.

So I thought I would take a break and blog some to get my mind off of work for now. Buster has started a cool thing, he has added an Easter egg to his website. Well, really, he added an Easter egg to his site so that we could have an Easter egg hunt. Goto Jame’s Website for an explanation of what an Easter egg is for programmers.

I have officially given up on finding the damn Easter egg. Congrats goes out to Buster for hiding the thing. As far as I know he could have put the thing somewhere on google’s website, haha. I know that it is there on Busters site, James cheated and gave me a link to it with login name and password. I will be selling that information on EBay soon…check it out, :)

Anyhow, I think that I might have to join in and plant an Easter egg somewhere on my blog someday.
