To continue... so we are sitting here listening to the reports of flooding everywhere... most of the other floors got let go way earlier, but out floor decided to stay. There is almost no exit at 5pm the freeway is slammed the feeder flooded, the intersections flooded, the surrounding streets flooded... no where to go. Might as well stay and work... 6pm I've put in an extra hour, and start my blog entry, it has not been raining for 2 hours maybe the water has gone down enough to pass. Attention this is Aramco Security, at this time we are advising everyone with a car in the main lot to move your car to higher ground as water continues to rise in the area... yada yada yada ... WTF? It's not raining how high can it be? I walk over and look out the window... HOLY crap! where is the parking lot! Water has covered the entire lot to just shy of knee deep! Roll up the pants lose the shoes and get to wading... A bunch of decide to go next door to higher ground and the Outback Steakhouse! 2 hours go by Water has not gone down at all! ... I call home and get Angie to look up the traffic map online. It turns out that the Bayou right next to the office is out of its banks, but if I can get across to the south loop somehow it'll be smooth sailing ... left right through there around that barricade, duck in there through that parking lot over that curb avoid almost all of the water and bam I make it! Stella Link and 610! Smooth on to the 225 then it starts to rain, then the wind starts to blow then the emrgency broadcast system comes on and says there is a super cell right over Deer Park and is "likely" to produce tornados! As they are saying this I glance through the driving rain to my right and pass the sign that says "Welcome to Deer Park" nice... should I pull over ... nah press on at 10 MPH can't see anything eventualy I come out the other side and make it the rest of the way without incident. Maybe not as harrowing as some other's stories, but there you have it.

Another weekend in the books... did you know Baytown has a kick ass go cart track! Damn that was fun... we went out ther on friday night for a quick race and what a hoot! Anyway went to dinner on Saturday at Star Pizza with G,J,S,A and T! Other than a huge traffic jam getting there it was pretty damn good!
Work continues on the house... it's raining like crazy mad today and no leaks right now so that is pretty good. I have a few more speaker wires to run and I'll be ready for some sheet rock.
In the WTF is that category... this site let's you type in a phrase and popular artists will sing it back to you. Give it a whirl... how fun!
Here comes the end of another week and 3-4 day project... my ass. This weekend will mark 3 weeks! Jeez! played cards last night... damn that was fun ... went to P.F.Changs for my anniversary too. Kick ass night!
Yet another Color Matcher... this one is the best I've seen though.
Today is our anniversary ... 9 years today. Going to P.F.Changs tonight. Once again I'm really pressed for time. The power in the building went out and all our servers crapped out ... half of the IT force was somewhere else and while I didn't help much I still was in there booting machine and stuff.
Things I blogged about a long time ago are getting to be mainstream news ... like this!... chould ahve just read it here eons ago!
Another weekend and still no roof... but it's getting closer and closer! We have rafters as of today! Yea!
This weekend went screaming past... I started another web project and did some work on the room. I also took Angie out to see Revolutions again... with a little help from my friend E and some reading and research on the internet I have decided that there are 3 differenet ways to watch Revolutions. 1. Eat your popcorn and watch some kung fu! 2. Watch it with religion in mind either Christianity or Buddism they both apply there is some greek mythology thrown in as well. (this is the most rich version in my eyes) and 3. Watch it with phisophical slant ... choice vs. causality vs. significance
All 3 movies are very good and it is incredible the amount symbolism you can when start to look... how deep is the rabbit hole...
It sucks when your package is leaking ... really sucks if it contains body parts!
My head a swimming Matrix mess today! Why does it haunt me... going to see it again on Saturday... I have so many "things" floating around in my head I find it hard to think! I need to free my mind!
We all heard about the monster solor flares last week... well they rate those on an X scale last weeks big one was an X8 or an X10 well whoa momma now they are saying there is one going off right now that over an X20! HOLY Crap! Is the sun going out!
Just a real quicky link I found that I do not want to get by... look back a few days for the beanie baby ebay auction... remember how funny... well it just got un-funny... I side with the seller. Sam
Finally some time... I took time today... I couldn't resist. I HAD to go see Revolutions. I left with my head spinning. It was action packed and told the end of the story well. To those us looking for the deeper meaning the question abound. To compound the matter there is no next part to look forward to with promises of answers... I will have to see this alot more to figure it all out.
No time to blog today. It's unreal the way things have been going lately... I swear I'm amazed I have any hair left on my head! If I have time I'll throw in a bloggy later about the latest events and what not... screamin'samu
The day after ... there is so much to tell. First the build on my house is not going well. They have left us with no gas one night(no hot water) they delayed the framers for 2 solid days, they steped through my roof in my kitchen, and when they turned on the water they left a faucet running in Dade's upstairs bathroom overflowing the sink filling the floor and finally leaking though to the bottom bathroom. at this point we have not had gas in the kitchen for 3 days. some of this I expected, most has been a nightmare!
Speaking of Nightmares! Halloween was a huge success! Wow wow wow! The Haunted House was bigger than ever my fmaily all worked it and had a blast... we did not get a good head count this year but we had groups of 4 going every 30 seconds for about 2 hours straight. I'm guessing a minimum of 500 but probably more like 800-1000 people went through. I know we handed out 400 glow braclets. I know that most of the parents did not take one.
The house was very spooky this year, tons and tons of screams, more than a couple of cryers, I think 3 pee-talities as well. More than a few people commented on the quality of the props and build year and how this was the best we'd ever done. It wouldbe good to go out on top, I'm not sure I'm going to do it next year, this year really took it out of me. I'm exhausted! I have to thank my family for all of the help, my mom, sis, sis's bo, dad and T all helped a ton and I would not have made it without them. As soon as I get the pics from E I'll post a link to them, with any luck I'll even get some video this year.
Well color me exhausted, I'm shuting down for a few hours, then it's back to work on other things... bostly this damn box.
