Good Stuff tweeted from Texas

Just wanted to share a few tweets passed on by others that didn’t make the front page news but should have:

Tweet from the TXRollergirls -Austin's All Women's Flat Track Roller Derby League- Ranked #5 in the US :

• “ TXRollergirls : Austin Derby Brats made the Austin Chronicle's "Best of" list. Next scrimmage Oct. 8. http://is.gd/3szMp “  be sure and check out the link, the Austin Derby Brats are the “peewee league” in Austin’s roller derby world.

Two tweets from Texas Grand - www.Texas-Best.com All the best people, places and things in Texas :

• “TexasGrand : The new Cowboy Stadium opens today for its first regular season game. What records will be set? http://wp.me/pBOlN-2U ”
•  “TexasGrand : Make your own Prickly Pear Cactus Jelly. http://wp.me/pBOlN-2Q” Once you follow all the links you’ll find your self on one of my favorite blogs “ Screwed Up Texan” in the recipes section, but be sure and take a look at the rest of her blog, its good Texas reading.

And now for the non–tweet  portion of the post,  I’d like to share a few upcoming events in Texas that make me wish I had a tank full of gas and a pocket full of money.

• Texas State Fair : September 25-October 18 (highlights for me aren’t the rides, the cook offs or even the music, –yes I really said that- for me its the livestock) I love to see all the beautiful cattle, horses and whatever else they happen to be showing at any given time. My newest addition to my “animals I’d love to have a couple of “ list is the Miniature Zebu Cattle , if  you’re interested here's a link to a Texas farm that raises them.  Buffalo Hill Exotics 
• Now this one is where the music comes in : The Butthole Surfers (formed in San Antonio in 1981) are coming to Houston on September 24 at the House of Blues. If you’re interested in tickets here’s the link to Ticketmaster.  It’s a kick off show for their reunion tour this fall. All of them will be there, Gibby Haynes, Jeff Pinkus, King Coffey, Paul Leary and Teresa Taylor. Its a show I would give just about anything to go and see.  So lets take a look at what I’m gonna miss.

Wow … Where is my mind?

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trip and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

These are a few of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by the Pixies, and that’s exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve spent so much time doing a whole lot of nothing, that I feel like my head is going to collapse. Well I think I might be back, not a 100% sure just yet, but the cool morning air has me feeling a little more like my old normal self.  I’ve decided to shake all the cobwebs out of my head and off my ass and join the living again. So I’ll try and keep up with this blog a little better. For now take a minute and enjoy my favorite song by the Pixies while I go wash some dishes.  And never forget reality sucks worse when your hands are in dishwater but less when they’re holding someone else's.
