Born A to Z

I was born on December 14, 1989, a couple of miles from where I currently live, in Houston, TX.

Cool things that happened on that day. I couldn't find many cool things that happened on the day that I was born, but I did find this! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Day) Monkey Day! Which started on December 14, 2000, very cool! I'm going to start celebrating it every December 14!

    That is an interesting fact! Your birthday is certainly enough reason to celebrate, but monkeys are fun, too!

    That's a pretty picture of the skyline of Houston, Joseph! That's neat too that you still live in the city where you were born! lYou're the same age as my son; he just turned 25 back in March. I think it is wonderful you want to celebrate Monkey Day; could be a start of a new family tradition!

    You are going to be a quarter of a century old this coming December... wow! :-) Of course I am more than half a century old, so I wish I was 25 again! A monkey day? Who knew! I have a blog friend who goes by The Ranting Monkey, I will have to send him this link so he can celebrate it too! :-)

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

Surprise Sleet Showers in East Texas!

Image
(Sorry there might not be sound, the video quality is not to great.) Houston and most of east Texas, got some surprising sleet and snow showers today. It wasn't that surprising since the weather forecasters have been talking about it all week, but they weren't sure if any precipitation was going to form, or not and if the precipitation did occur, if it would fall down as snow, or sleet, so it was a surprise. The sleet pellets were really big too! At around 6:20 am, when the first sleet shower started to pass through my house, I thought that the sleet might have been freezing rain, or maybe ice pellets, but when I ran outside I saw that it was sleet that was falling. The sleet was as hard as ice, but as bright as snow. The sleet drops looked bigger than I remember, back when Houston got a sleet storm back in December, 2004. Which made me wonder at first if it was sleet, or just ice pellets, but it was sleet! I'm glad that it was sleet. I've bee...

Shoes!

Image
Going to join a new meme today called Two Shoes Tuesday from Josie Two Shoes! How it works is each week Josie writes a one word prompt where you can then share a short story, poem, essay, thought, or, photo relating to that word. We'll since today's topic is about shoes...... These are my current ones! They are just regular tennis shoes that my dad got me last Christmas! As far as shoes go I usually like to get running shoes, like the ones pictured below..... These are my old shoes. I've had them since late 2007. I still use them, just not as often. Only when I have to get into the mud or, dirt. Or, when I feel like running, since they are running shoes! The only thing that I don't like about running shoes is that I slip easily when I walk on wet tiles. My new ones pictured above have a flat surface so, I don't slip as easily.... I like my new shoes better but, I sometimes miss my old running shoes! I like to run so, running shoes have always been my choice...
