“You can’t be christian and be pro-abortion”

Filed under: old blog — Mark @ 1:43 pm

Yesterday on a car i saw a bumpersticker that read a little like this:
“You can’t be christian and be pro-abortion” riiiggght…..wrong.
First off, i think they meant “pro-choice” which does not correlate to
being pro- abortion. Pro-abortion doesn’t mean: “bahhh, let’s kill all
fetuses!”.  Secondly, who says that you can’t be both christian and
pro-choice, and i know people that are.  This stuff pisses me off too
much, I just blew my rant..so much for that.

Binary tattoo

Filed under: old blog — Mark @ 1:39 pm

Dr. Radle’s test wasn’t really hard at all.

I had to go get Justine to bring her to helping hands, and we passed
her dad as we were leaving…damn. Feels like im using lots of gas
this week :(

Work was good tonight. I did moderately ok, I suppose great for a
thursday.  First off, I had Rob Perillo from the KATC weather team,
and his family. They tipped me pretty much ok.  Secondly, I had one of
the important Red Cross guys at one of my tables.  Third, Tom, Conan,
and GK came and ate tonight. They have this bright idea to a) get a
tattoo and b) get it of their name in binary. Heh, i don’t like
tattoos in the first place, and second, i wouldn’t want that shit on
me for the rest of my life. Nice try. Tom definately didn’t wanna do
it, but conan said he is…and gk says he isn’t kidding, that he is
doing it too. Right.

Parish officials expect to annouce re-entry plan to evacuees sometime
Thursday, September 29 and is meeting tomorrow morning to devise a
plan. Sulphur water is safe to drink and Lake Charles has water
service, but the water is still not safe to drink. Mayor Randy Roach
says the boil water order still applies to Lake Charles. Officials
also urge citizens to not get on the waterways of Lake Charles.
——————————————————————————–
Lower parts of the Calcasieu Parish still had severe flooding Sunday,
and it may experience additional flooding later as water from
Hurricane Rita in areas north of Lake Charles head south.  Parts of
Lake Charles where water was up to 6 feet deep Saturday were down to 2
or 3 feet.  Based upon early estimates, the parish office of emergency
preparedness says at least 20 to 25 percent of the parish’s homes, or
roughly 65,000, will have serious damage from floodwater or rain in
homes with wind damage.
——————————————————————————–
The evacuation before Rita was much more successful than it was in
Mississippi and Louisiana as Katrina approached _ in large part
because citizens seemed to take the danger more seriously after seeing
so many people stranded in flooded New Orleans.  “The fact is, we’ve
never had an evacuation this size before: 2.7 million people,” said
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.  About 85 percent will have some damage,
they say, and at least 5 percent have been totally destroyed

Running from Rita

Filed under: old blog — Mark @ 1:34 pm

Well, we ran away on thursday, fled up to arkansas with some family.
It was nice there, but after a few days, we started to get stur crazy.
Saturday we drove through the storm a little..went down to Ruston.
When we got to Ruston, there was no power, so we just went straight to
Natchitoches.  When we got to Natchitoches, I busted my tire :( We
visited Prudhomme and Prem and his wife. They fed us and it was fun.
Then we went to visit Mrs. Sanjeetha and her family, they were out of
power, so we sat in candlelight, it was neat. After that, John Shore
let us stay the night at prudhomme in the sick room. That was very
nice of him.  Sunday we went and got the tire fixed at walmart, where
all the frozen/cold food had to be thrown out…it was sad.  Then we
headed back to lafayette bc i had to be at work at night.  Last night
was busier than i’ve ever seen it for a sunday night at casa ole.  It
very well could have been a friday night, except it was compacted into
two fewer hours, and we were running out of chips, guacamole, ground
beef, etc.  I made $99 which for a sunday night, is crazy. Normally i
make about $20 tops on a sunday night.

state of mind.” -Conan

Baskin Robbins $1 scoops

Filed under: old blog — Mark @ 12:52 pm

Well, it has been a while. A lot has happened.  I got kinda bogged
down for a little while…and didn’t update.  Hey, what can i say,
stuff happens.  On a good note: $1 ice cream scoops at baskin robbins
rock some face.  The baby is starting to crawl, and she can sit up for
a long time, in addition to eat our homework and lots of other “neat”
stuff.  David Venable’s speech was …annoying Cordelia is finally
growing some hair.

Pay before you pump

Filed under: old blog — Mark @ 12:45 pm

Work this morning. Didn’t make a lot of money, but it was ok.  All the
gas stations are making you pay before you pump, and they give you a
weird receipt with debit/credit cards.  Can’t wait to go get Josephine
and Cordelia tonight :)
