the alamo and me

I was thinking about it today for quite some time. I think it could be a good move. Would definitely be worth the money. I'd still get to stay in my field (somewhat) and attend swanky events.

What am I talking about?

Celebrity photo retoucher.

Seriously. They do wonders on Mariah, Fergie and Terri Hatcher. Hell, they can even make Brooke Hogan look semi-feminine every once in awhile.

You know these celebrities are bound to have personal photo retouchers who they pay lots and lots of money to.

Take the Fluid Effect. They do this all day long. Just look at the sampling of thier before/after gallery. Glenn Feron's portfolio has all sorts of goods. And Pascal Dangin gets paid mega bucks.

I need to find a connection quick.

I've been in a coma for the past two weeks. Obviously. Here's what I learned while I was away and what I learned when I got back to the land of internet.

Smokin' Aces was a bit disappointing. Okay but I was hoping for better. The only saving grace was Ryan Reynolds face - which was definitely worth the eight bucks.

Whoever created the Bell Biv DeVoe music profile on MySpace spelt "Poison" as "Posion" and it can now be seen on my page.

It is easy to trespass onto the rooftops of downtown San An on a cold Saturday night.

And this past weekend was a big big blur. Hooray for Vanessa visiting me. :)



And in the actual news world...

Hobbits are real... Or are they?

Robotic Parking. Wait, do people drive cars in Chinatown?

The man who brought us I Dream of Jeannie has killed over.

Convincing reasons why not to let my possible future children attend school in San Antonio.

The village to go with Stonehenge.

Woof woof. Obey your pyschologist. Otherwise you'll wear a collar.

And those icicles hanging from my car are attached to the ground beneath.

There is a tree on my car.

That's right, a tree. Apparently the ice has made it so heavy that it is now laying on my car. I can't move.

This weekend: January 19-21, 2007.

I'm bringing my new found tumor/knot/cyst/blood clot/swollen nerv/whatever with me as well. I developed some funky marble-sized knot right-smack in middle of my forearm. Inside of my left forearm to be exact. I noticed it late Thursday night. It hurts to pretty much do anything with my arm. Probably why it has taken me ten minutes to type just this little blurb out. It sits on top of a fairly large vein and it is raised above my actual arm plane making it seem like a tiny mountain. It is hard, tender and swollen. I think it could be a twin. Probably has teeth in it. I'll hopefully find out something when I go to the Doc on Wednesday.

And I though DFDub went crazy over these Arctic Blasts. South Texas doesn't know what the hell to do. Which is beneficial to me because so far tonight they've closed every possible bridge, over pass and highway above 3 feet that is in route to work. Thus making it virtually impossible for me to be able to go to work tomorrow *crosses fingers*.

It's been a long long long long week. Mentally and physically exhausted I am. But I'm seeking optimism.

If any of you know me whatsoever you know that I hate Pat Robertson with every ounce of my soul. Just the whisper of his name makes me livid.

Televangelist cannot be trusted in my book. Remember Jim Bakker, Marjoe Gortner, Peter Popoff, and Jimmy Swaggart? Exactly.

And how can I even possibly relate to a man (demon) who believes and preaches any of the following: 9/11 was caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People for the American Way." He has openly accused other Christian denominations of being spirits of the Antichrist. Which does not connect in my brain - aren't you in it for the same cause? He likes to take credit that his prayers kept natural disasters away, except of course when it is "God's will" to kill masses in order to destroy those that are completely sinful. In his opinion feminism is a "socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." Which makes me laugh a lot. So on and so forth.

Grrrr. I better get to my point before I become completely side tracked... Basically I think he's full of shit and it seems he is once again predicting the future.
