Thanksgiving Day 2025

 

You wanna know how my Turkey Day went refer to the picture above.

Just work and sitting at home nothing special, but not a bad day at all. 

Friday Night Lights

 It's that time of the year again. Yep you guessed it football season. The game where a bunch of dudes crash into a bunch of other dudes, and some where in there an egg shaped ball is tossed around. I know jack squat about the sport of football. You might call me a layman, others might say stinky weirdo but whatever. Here's a short list of the things I do know.

See I told you I don't know jack squat !

 

Basically from now until early November I'll be spending my Friday nights watching my hometown high school team compete against other high school teams. It's been tradition for as long as I can remember. Couldn't tell you the first game I ever went to but I doubt my presence brought about any good luck probably the opposite actually.

 

Don't even get me started on homecoming which is basically my hometown's very own holiday, with a parade, fireworks at halftime and all that jazz. However that's a post for another time. That is if my lazy rear end actually bothers to make it !

Meet Ezri !

Me and mom decided to get another cat, and after a couple of failed attempts we ended up with this cutie right here !

 

Ezri came from the local Humane Society and wasn't even our first choice. However once we got to meet her and they told us she was a lap cat we were sold. That's exactly what my mom wanted since our other cat Milo has nothing really to do with her.

 

She's six years old and very pretty. She's just starting to get used to her new environment, and "trying" to get used to Milo. She doesn't seem to be crazy about him but is slowly starting to tolerate him being around. He pretty often tries to get a little too up close and personal with her and she hisses back at him. I've even seen her slap him a couple of times lol.

 

 

She can be a real grump sometimes. Which as far as I can tell is thanks to Milo. Lets just say I've been swatted and hissed at a few times. We're overall very happy with her though and are glad that it worked out the way it did in getting her. We can really only thank God for that one !

 

 

Snow Day 2025

 Yes you read the title right. Despite living in Texas and how mild our last couple of winters have been we ended up with snow. It seems we had a bit of a polar vortex hit the US and along with it came harsh temperatures, sleet, and snow. From what I heard we had record breaking temperatures and snow here. I'd believe it, Wednesday morning it got down to nine degrees at one point ! I had never seen so much snow here in my life, around four to five inches.

To give proof and show I'm not a liar here's some pictures I took Tuesday morning during some of the heaviest snow fall.

Here's a view from my front porch.

Mom's car covered in snow.

Back of the house.

Part of what used to be a garden at my grandmothers house.

Front of the house from across the road.

Old wood holding shed, side of the house.

Former pen for my old dog Daisy.

I made a snow angel.

 

Also tried to make a snow man, looked more a like a snow mound than anything.

In reality I didn't even make it that far...

Thanks to all of it I didn't have to work for three whole days, a real blessing from The Lord right there ! Due to the rising and falling of temperatures of the next few days after the snow and icy slush from it didn't really fully melt until Saturday.

It was overall a really neat experience even if it was insanely cold.

Christmas 2024

 Well Christmas this year was much like last year low key. Nothing too crazy but not bad for me personally.

Here's our Christmas tree we had decorated sitting on our coffee table in the living room. Because I'm a nerd I had to put that Pac-Man and NES controller ornaments on there lol.
 

I got my mom a few presents. A big Hershey chocolate bar, a new watch, and that old movie Mask on DVD.

I got six NES games from mom. Apparently someone must've unloaded their NES collection to the game store and I pulled out six from the bunch and mom got them for me as a Christmas present.

All fairly solid titles if you ask me. Well except maybe Bayou Billy which is darn near impossible to get through, and Milon's Secret Castle is pretty cryptic, but hey I like em so leave me alone !

We did a secret santa at work and I ended up getting a nice little blanket, a bag of Doritos, a mini stocking with cat toys for my cat Milo, and a Domino's gift card.

Christmas dinner or rather lunch was some good ol' Church's Chicken. Purchased at the still fairly new Church's chicken at the Road Ranger truck stop off the freeway in town.

That's supposed to be a drawing of a chicken strip, hey I never claimed to be Picasso !

 

Not much else happened but overall it wasn't a bad day for me. Still can't get past that first boss in Milon's Secret Castle though...

Comic Con 2024

 Went to the Beaumont Comic Con again this year for the third time in a row, and once again for the third time in a row I had a great time there.

There was a lot of the same stuff that was there before but there was a few different things. The guy that sold me Croc last year was there again. The guy that runs a neat little comic book store in Beaumont I go too once in a blue moon was there again too.

There were a couple of booths offering a sort of shooting gallery game, one with Nerf guns the other with a sort of Nerf crossbow thing. Don't know how I managed it but I managed to be somewhat decent at the Nerf gun game. I'm not usually one to have skills with that sort of thing lol. Even got a picture with the girl running the booth.

Now whats the real reason I was there ? Well to buy old comic books based on ancient cartoons of course ! Got my hands on six different comic books this year

 A couple of Hanna-Barbera classics ! The Jetsons was a huge part of my childhood, watched quite a bit as a youngster. Funnily enough I had gotten the Top Cat blu-ray set just several days before I got that comic.

 Two cartoon classics. A Bob Clampett cartooooonnn, and good ol' Mighty Mouse !

Here's two other shows I definitely saw a lot as a kid but now in comic form ! Could you tell I grew up on a lot of reruns ?

Overall it was a pretty good day and I'm glad to have added a few more comics to my collection. 

They may be old fashioned but hey you would be too if you were based off a 60 plus year old cartoon.

Meet Milo The Cat !

 

So I got a cat. Yep, a co-worker of mine had this cat and didn't want him anymore. So she asked me and my mother about it and we accepted him into our family. It took a little while before we decided on a name but eventually we settled on Milo.

As of typing this he's about 4 months old so still a kitten. He is a good boy, most of the time... Well except for when he gets his claws into us lol. Like a normal cat he's not the biggest fan of water although I've caught him lying in the bathtub a couple of times. Speaking of the bathroom, I've seen him drink out of the toilet too.

He loves to sit with me when I'm at the computer, haven't quite gotten to getting him to stay off the table though lol. He sleeps with me too sometimes.

Here's a video of him playing with a toy because I don't know how to properly end this post.
