Needs Something
Houston METRO Light Rail from NC3D.com on Vimeo.
Here’s a whizzy reel showing what the new Metro trains and stations on 4 upcoming light-rail lines are supposed to look like. Dowling St. in the Third Ward, the Edloe Station in Greenway Plaza, the Moody Park Station on the North Line, MacGregor Park Station on the Southeast Line, and Lockwood Station on the East End Line each get about 30 seconds of CGI treatment, from a low-flying camera buzzing some extremely lifelike — though torpid — pedestrians. (Swamplot.com)
Hmmm, it looks real, but there is something missing…Ah yes…the crazy people. If you have ever taken the downtown train you KNOW what I’m talking about. That homeless person not only just asking for money, but pissing on the seats as well. Everyone loves that new homeless piss smell. You can’t buy that scent at Bed Bath and Beyond. What about that other guy, you the the one that loves to socialize with others…that he only sees himself. Talking all that crazy mess when no one is there except you. Yes, I can’t wait till the East End line to be completed. The fun that will yet be here.

It's Matt's Month
April is National Autism Awareness Month.
Meet my cousin Matt.
Matt has Autism. Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a "spectrum disorder" that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families today.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a report stating that 560,000 children in the county have some form of autism. For researching autism spectrum disorders (ASD) the Johnson County Library offers many useful resources. Information provided to you by the Johnson County Library’s Consumer Health Team.

The Lizard King: A Tribute to Jim Morrison
Lizards or to be more presise, the Green Anoles also known as the Carolina anole is my new favorite animal. They're everywhere. And you know it's Spring time when you are out on the porch and one runs across you way. For the past days I've been looking in the garden to get some shoots. They seem to keep to the fence, I guess cause of the conduction of the sun's heat. They are cold blooded so it seems to make sense. When I was a kid I used to love catching them! And I learned a trick that you can do with them. They make fashionably good ear rings. Yes when you catch one or two, put them at the end of your ear lobe and they will bite and dangle off your ear. It doesn't hurt really. Another thing you can do is when you catch them gently rub the area between the eyes and they will fall asleep. Yep. Anyways here are just some of the pics I got to take.

Pandra: more than a box.
I have been using Pandora Radio for about 6 months now. It's cool. Almost like Launch but better in my view. Of course there is the limited amount of songs you can skip, but just hit F5. So far I have the following stations: Led-Zeppelin, Classic Rock, Retro, British Invasion, Smart Music (Classical), Ja-mahn and Coffee and Donuts. When you first start you can create a station of your own. Type in a song or artist and from there the radio will play music based on you selection. You can click thumbs up or down to save or never play again. From this, the radio will analyze your music choices.
"Sleepy Tigers" by Her Space Holiday. It's a new fave of mine. You might of heard it on t.v. "Well I like you so very much, so much in fact I gotta wake you up." They remind me of The Cure, but more of a back woods casual style.
Astros game this Sat with a free blanket.
Correction....."When America sneezes the rest of the world catches the cold"...but I like mine better. That phrase was expressed after the stock market crash...but how about this for originality; When America farts, the rest of the world chokes.
Had my first carbonated beverage this past Sunday, my first Dr Pepper Monday since the first day of Lent. I really did good. I notice some behavior changes. I was getting better sleep. Now I've wrecked it, as you can tell it is 2300 hrs. Bugger.

Hell-O
They say the only way to Heaven is to go through some Hell. But what if you are destine to just stay in Hell. Life is not getting any simpler here. What to do, what to do. I find myself recently back up by endless amounts of unfinished paper work. The only thing that makes my happy now is my camera. I don't know where I am going, just random talk. Going to the first 'Stros game this Saturday, should be a blasty blast...we are starting off bad, not since the year I was born we started off this bad. Damn you Tessa and your Cardinals. I hope things get better, not just for me, but out there too. They say that every empire must come to an end. The Romans, the Greeks, the Mongolians, the British. I think it just be our turn. Cause when America sneezes, the world gets the flu.
