Christmas ...Austin style

Managed to swing a few hours of family time with The Battalion for a little Christmas light viewing a family tradition which is gaining momentum! As you may or may not know Austin prides it's self on being weird, I don't know about all that, I've been here along time so whats weird to some isn't to others, if you catch my drift! Anyway here are some pics, phone pics of the holiday season Austin style!

Hook em!



Recycling actually KICKS Ass sometimes!



Nothing says Christmas like a 20 foot aluminum dragon!


"O Christmas Skull, o Christmas Skull"


Trippy Madonna n child boarding on the macabre...Bravo!



My kids are in the blue haze somewhere!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pearl Harbor

I began this blog over a year ago and much has changed in that short time and ironically time is what has changed most. Time to surf the web,time just thinking and observing the world...I have very little time to devote to ESG and even less to myself but such is the path I've chosen. I'm a busy father and husband and wouldn't change a thing in my life except to have more time!

Still much remains the same including the way I see history...Dec . 7, 1941 is slowing becoming just another date in history class, trivial, distant, the start of a war fought by other people...yet it was not that long ago.
My parent's generation is alive and well, still very lucid and aware, they remember clear as a bell what transpired that day, what damage hate and politics can concoct when left to over boil, let us not forget lest we suffer the same fate and lose a generation of young men and women to the savagery of war.

Here is last years post...

Rollin Dirty

Somewhere along the way the young bred of jock have become enamored with old iron.Kick Ass! So I guess all the rappers ...ummm , err raping about their old Chevies made an semi-positive impression, which is totally awesome with me but has this young breed ever rolled a car on stock rims!?!
NO!


YES!


Ndamukong Suh is football playa he's a badass 6'4" and weighing in at 310!

Homeboys arms are bigger than my legs, man!


How young blood fits into a 70 Chevelle is a question for physics and ergo engineers! It cannot be easy I've driven a couple of gen 2 Chevelles and they are tight even for normal size peeps!
Proof!


Anyway so N-kong is cooling his massive heels while he serves a two game suspension for stepping on some other big dude during a game..."bad Suh, bad!"


Take that whitey!
So since he had time to kill he went out west to kill, no strike that he ain't like that. He's a stand up dude he reserves his violent outburst for on the field and his killing,he hires out!

Anyways so he's out trolling fo hos or dudes or god knows what and lost control of his Chebby!


FAIL!

I can state for a fact that if Mr. Suh was on the 15 x 7 he probably would have had better control of his 70 SS Chevelle!
No!


Yes!


Them Dubs may look tight in the magazines or gangsta leaning 'round da hood but when you wanna Smoke Em in front of the throngs of gawking civilians it's fat, wide and low to the ground that'll get you home not da chrome baby!
Let me analogize a lil'....
Do you pick up a hot chick and immediately take her to the nearest plastic surgery to inflate her rack? No. She is specifically engineered to perform a specific way, to handle as the engineer in the sky has dictated don't trivial with it!
High end models!



Ok gratuitus yes but a stiring example no?

The equally brainy dudes in Detroit did the same with your classic Chevy do not trivial wit it either!

Live and learn young uns and do us all a favor quit screwing up old kickass cars they don't make them anymore!

Tank "unsolicited advisor to the over payed and trend hypnotized star athlete"...OUT!
