Welcome to the My Monkey Cage

3-8-2013
So I missed a rodeo performance and soccer match.  Not the end of the world.

Anyway, like I said in a previous blog post, this is a personal website and I'd like to post more personal stuff besides my sports and political writings.  Hey, this place is a do what I want with site....

Anyway, I spent last week at Lake Livingston Sate Park with my best friend.  The fishing wasn't great but time out there was relaxing.

Again I've been super busy at work but I took a little vacation to Lake Livingston last week.  I'm back in the rat race this week. 

For some reason, my dumbass decided to work graveyard shift.  I don't work the night shift and I'm officially a straight day worker.  My boss needed a hand on nights and I said yes.  I picked the wrong week.  I missed the Houston Rodeo appearance of Styx and the Houston Dynamo home leg of the CCL quarter finals.

I did make the Dynamo home opener on Saturday and I'll have my little write up later today.

For my personal enjoyment, here are highlights to both Dynamo wins.

Dynamo vs Santos in the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinal home leg.

The home opening 2-0 win vs. DC United.

I updated the Monkey Cage blog with my thoughts on North Korean's latest nuclear test.

Also updated are pictures from Carnival New Orleans 2013 and Krewe of Pygmalion Parade 2013.

I give a brief take on John O'Korn - Crown Jewel of UH 2013 recruiting class.

Sigh, the Houston Cougars were terrible this year.  After last year's high of so many highs, I'm left this off season with hopeful positives for the future.

Tonight I start off with, new UH recruit kicker Ty Cummings in my new series of Houston Cougar 2013 Recruits.

Wow...have I fallen off with updates or what?  Again, I have no one to blame but myself.  I had plenty to write about the Dynamo run to the MLS Cup, the magical Texans season thus far and the dismal failure of my Houston Cougars.

On the non-sports world, I had thoughts on Sandy Hook and gun control. 

So instead of anything thought provoking for my first post in a long time, I give you my Day of Relaxing and Fishing.
