ground rules, and a little shameless viral marketing

OK. SO, I will blog on a more consistent basis, and I will find a good browser/blog program to make it as painless and efficient as possible. The problem for me is that if isn't super easy to do, and I'm at my computer, I'm more likely to spend hours playing Civilization III or some random demo or flash game. This is partly because my "day" job involve me driving around the greater Houston area selling and delivering wine.

Driving in Houston is stressful! I have an overwhelming need to unwind when I come home, in addition to the fatigue I already have from allergies (I'm allergic to dust and mold, and Houston is INCREDIBLY HUMID).

This blog will serve more as my foray into political discussion, and as such, won't focus too much on specific alcohol brands, even though I drink and am employed in the business of selling alcohol. This blog is personal, individual, and will serve to help me flesh out opinions and points of view on current issues, economics, globalization, corporation, and the great big world in general. Also, I'm trying to learn Spanish so I can read my soon to be cousin-in-law's awesome blog.

I do want to learn some coding, as well, and my posts will gradually show my budding knowledge. I hope.

I'm also a Mac User and MySpacer. What I find useful and almost necessary for my Mac is MacZOT! and what I like about the blog on MySpace is the tag at the end where the blogger can indicate what is being played, listened to, watched, etc. ... selected form a pre-designed list of corporate label "art" primed for promotion. In that spirit, I post the following, as part of the blogZOT, and in an effort to overcome my stress hangovers.

Two birdies, one plush stone.

MacZOT.com Fans want Pzizz because 'According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep deprivation and its effect on work performance may be costing U.S. employers some $18 billion each year in lost productivity. Another study pushes this cost to over $100 billion.' - link to full article

First Post

Well, this is the initial post. Just returned from another Trip to Houston, though not returned to Austin, returned to SA. For some reason, a link from Jesus' General took me to the "register for Blogger" page, and so I registered. Little did I know it was just broken link to a Hannidate. Damn, now I'm not procrastinating anymore, for the time being.

I HAVE A BLOG!

Originally I was going to wait until I could establish better communication with my soon-to-be cousin-in-law, who blogs at Desvarios y Demaz. I was going to provide a "white dude's view of the US" for all those who are trying to make a life for themselves in Mexico. Plus, and mainly, reviews on good beers and wines that simply aren't available in the Mexican economy. And possibly be paid with Indo in returnable bottles. Hopefully, also spark and economic revolustion of beer drinkers that bumps oof swill and brings on the chill. Work in progress...

I actually love the Mexican beer/soda distribution system. I'd love to buy a bottle and then be able to refill that bottle with any beverage of my choice for pennies. The model can be made to work in the US.

It can!

And since I'm moving to Houston, the idea of zero easements and no zoning (as propagated in Mexican cities) is something I need to get used to.

yea!
