Trippin

Goin out with my amigo Beau (yes that's his name) to get a couple drinks and some BBQ at a local joint he claims is the best in Austin. Beau's wife is back in India with his daughter so he's pretty stoked to have some time for himself. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna hit the road up to Dallas and bunk up at the hostel for the weekend to catch the weekend Cubs Rangers series! I plan on going to Billy Bob's up in Fort Worth since I didn't check it out when I was up there last.
Then on Monday I'm going to trek over to Arkansas and show up at the door of a few companies that ought to hire me. We'll see how it all pans out!

Bowling league started yesterday and let's just say that was an experience. Since I don't have a team I got tossed on Debi and Matthew's team. Matthew is a scrawny 19 year old true southern boy with lots of tats, a welder and a rodeo jockey. He rides bulls and has scars to prove it, he even comes with his authentic junior rodeo championship belt buckle. Debi....yeah. She's Matthew's aunt and it's obvious to anyone with any common sense that she does way too many drugs. She's middle aged and looks like someone you'd see at any of America's finest shopping establishments, WalMart, at about 2:30 in the morning. Just picture it, yeah that's her. Her daughter was there sittin around and told me she had just got married that day to some guy and that she just got out of jail for assaulting a police officer. So the team is a top-notch crew of committed US citizens. Recap of people:

1.) Unemployed college graduate
2.) Rodeo welder
3.) Trashy former drug dealer lady
4.) Jailbird newlywed

Ahhh America, the formerly greatest country in the world.

I can't make this stuff up, I wish my mind was that creative but here you have it folks, the most rag tag bowling team in the greater Austin area. I could go into more detail about how insane this experience was but I'll keep the "R" rated stuff out of the blog. I'm so grateful I get to be on their team, and by grateful I mean not grateful at all. And by the way, the rest of the bowlers in the league are great. Met some very cool people.

Anyways, this time tomorrow I'll be watching Derrek Lee taking batting practice with a cold one in hand. I'll see if I can't drag some noobs from the hostel to a game or two with me. Show the Dutch or French or whoever is there how we do it in the states.
