Seek The Substantial

Some time ago (October 27th to be exact), myself, Justin F. and good friend Brandon traveled to Lubbock to watch our Red Raiders take on the Colorado Buffaloes. Sadly our Red Raiders were turned away with a loss, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have a good time. First off,…

Good Christmas and lots of fun with the family. I was coming down with a cold/flu and was feeling pretty bad on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. In fact, I’m still coughing, but I think I’ll make it. I only have pictures from Christmas Eve at my parents house, for…

Good times with Sweet Sweet and I watching basketball at the AAC. Essentially, I convinced / bribed her to go if we ate at El Fenix afterwards. Not a bad trade-off as far as I’m concerned. The game itself was a little disappointing, but it was still fun to see…

Two weeks in a row isn’t quite a trend, but it’s better than nothing. Sweet Sweet and I received some great news yesterday, her platelet level is now at 250,000, whereas before her surgery to remove her spleen her platelet level was hovering at around 35,000. As the doctor told…

Okay, seriously, it won’t happen again. Let me explain. I wasn’t really doing anything. Okay, that’s a lie, I was doing some stuff, but just not a lot of stuff. Case in point, I went to Lubbock for a few football games, by myself once and with some friends on…

My family has a number of summer birthdays and we had a family get-together at the house to celebrate everyone’s birthday. The scene. Thea. Marilea, Blake and Dad. Saralyn, Darius and Dad. Grace, Darius and Jensen (hiding behind the cup). Dad, Saralyn and Ryan. Blake, Thea and Mom. Jensen, Grace…

Last summer a fairly large tree died, chalk it up to the drought last year or the tree just being old, but about a month ago a large branch (diameter 8″ to 9″) fall on our neighbor’s fence. I rounded up a crew of Sweet Sweet’s father, brother, Stephen and…

I’m sure that we all have something that we hold onto for much longer than we should. I have a number of those things, consider this a character flaw if you wish, but for me it’s all about comfort. At some point during my high school career, I purchased a…

Good times ensued when Greggy, Chris, Justin F. and myself headed to San Antonio for a weekend of Cowboys’ training camp and golfing. First, I’d never taken 183 to San Antonio and couldn’t believe how beautiful the scenery was. Once again, I was hampered by low batteries upon arrival at…

A month ago I headed to Tulsa for a weekend of fellowship. I pulled into town around 10:30 p.m. and upon arrival we headed to the bar. These photographs are from our return from the bar. Duk. Big Time. Blucifer. Joey. Me. The next morning we played golf and it…
