I know it's been a while since I've posted much of anything and I had a few minutes so I figured I'd hop on with a brief update, a few thoughts, etc.
First off, I hope everyone had a spectacular holiday season (and no, me saying "holiday season" is not an attack on Christmas, it's just a lot easier than writing out every winter holiday various persons celebrate) & a safe and happy start to your New Year.
I'm sure many of you made New Year resolutions, and I hope you're sticking with them! I couldn't decide if I wanted to quit smoking, get in shape or any of the other usual suspects, so I went the unconventional route once again and rolled them all into one big resolution... This year, I'm going to try to be just a little bit more like Hulk Hogan. That said, I've quit smoking (minus a couple little slips here and there), started exercising, taking my vitamins, & saying my prayers (actually got a good book from mom this year which they call "The Good Book". It must be pretty good I figure since it's been on the best seller list for so long... so I'm giving that a read lately). Oh, and I lost the beard... and traded it in for a comically over sized horseshoe mustache.
This is not your run of the mill upper lip honor badge however. This is a multipurpose mustache! Sure it helps me achieve my resolution to "be more like Hulk Hogan", but it's also my secret weapon in the political arena since I am now officially on the ballot for Texas State Senate!
Didn't see that one comin' didja?
Right now everything is in it's infancy, but I'm working on some issues I'd like to address that nobody else seems interested in touching (like trimming back the size of the TABC for example). Preliminary discussions with folks in the local alcohol industry seem interested in this idea, so hopefully we can get them behind me to help throw a "Stache Bash" fundraiser for me and my mustache. I'm fairly certain it pays a ridiculously high salary, so I think I want to take a page from Dr. Paul and offer to take a pay cut if elected, & just bring it down to the average annual household income instead. I'm sure there will be plenty to look at and mill over and discuss and everything as this progresses though. Either way though, I think it's time we return to politicians sporting robust facial hair styles... remember Ambrose Burnside?
Other than that, school is getting ready to start again, which I'm actually fairly excited about. I figure the Texas Government class is probably coming just in time given the circumstances, and the professor is a truly delightful person. I had her for an American Government class and was pretty impressed... despite her being a "moderate Democrat" (hey, we all make mistakes right?)
Well that's it for the time being! I'll be back with more soon! As always, thank you for reading, sharing, commenting and subscribing!
TRIM THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT! NOT THE SIZE OF MUSTACHES!
Happy Trails!
Here's the fellow I'll be running against... check out the total lack of mustache on this guy. Who does he think he is?!?!
