ITS CRAPTASTIC!
ok so im not perez hilton or anything... but its harder than you think comming up with this crap......
having said that: heres todays craptacular blog.
As a person who tries to be as environmentally freindly as possible i am always watching for others like myself... not complete kashi-luvin wierdos who only wear burlap underwear, but normal people who occaisonally feel bad about the disgusting amounts of trash that we (americans) produce and try to do better.
I am pleased to announce that my prius count is up to about 7, i think i double counted a dark blue one, but im sure there are a couple i missed, so its pretty close. I have the urge to waive at the prius drivers, but since I'm not one im sure they would think i was an idiot. So props to all you guys in A-town driving around in your prius's (prii?). i myself am holding out for the next generation of suv hybrids so i can be totally ridiculous about the whole thing. But I did change all my lightbulbs to those swirly ones, mainly because leonardo dicaprio told me too..... but whats done is done.. My next hope for abilene is maybe a Bio-Willy station....because lets face it a lot of us drive diesels or have one around and it would totally rock to be able to use some bio-diesel. So Willie if your reading this we need you in Abilene.

Neighbors
I was listening to npr today and heard a story about a lady who was in her bathroom as her plumbing started to go crazy and was arrested for cursing out her own plumbing. This struck me as odd. Her neighbor was a police officer who arrested her for disorderly conduct. I wondered if this could happen in abilene. I have had many neighbors here-and have liked most of them. I have lived near acu sub-t guys, ministers and a lot of great families, and Id like to think that if any of them ever overheard me cursing my toilet they would come over and ask what was up, not haul me into jail.
just a post script I encourage all to listen to NPR its the quickest way to sound smart (even if your not).....its on 87.9 kacu

hambriento en Abilene
One thing I have always liked about Abilene is the cool local somewhat funky places to eat. It all started for me circa 1991 when someone dared us to go eat at the juicy pig -(which was later torn down due to some drug related drama, if memory serves) we went in had a soda and a sandwich. since then i always love to eat at a local spot if possible. So I will admit i am not the Anthony Bourdain of Abilene but i do love some great food. so here are some of my favorite pics....
first and an no suprise -Harolds
second -la popular (the original)
third - bogies
fourth -Alfredos
now i have to mention that although i havent been at cypress st. in a while i had some duck there once that i still dream about so they have to get my vote.
and a shout out to little panda on rebecca not as much for the food but for the cool staff and way cute delivery guys.
im sure i missed tons of great places but lets not overlook our local joints.
on an unrelated note -dont be a stranger *comment

So Heres the thing
i am starting this blog because i dont think anyone ever has anything valid to say about life in Abilene.
o sure there is a lot said about life in abilene texas but a lot of it is from crazy people, and i think that abilene has a lot of cool undertones that are left un explored, so having said that here i go delving into the world of the blog.
I can only hope that a person or 2 will read this thing and that perhapse one of them finds me amusing. Im not holding my breath.
