    The Wire

  3. Crossing into R&B/Soul I think ... but damn this song kicks it up a notch at :37
  4. Siblings and I were talking about MJ and Jacksons. This song (above) came up.
  5. It is Giorgio! Yeah, I've always been a fan of the genre and ignore the haters. I do like EDM as well. I was listening to Chic Pandora today and was going to come back to post the Sister Sledge song you followed up with.
  6. Damn... So many good ones. I should have been born 10 years earlier. So many to choose from. But this is may favorite. As a want to be Bass player, this is it. Thank you Bernard Edwards.
  7. Oh. So all that training to lock the door AND move as much heavy shit behind the door is just to give us extra work while we move the kids to a corner. Your assumptions are horrible. The only thing that has been done with locks at most schools has been a request to keep them locked with doors ready to close.
  8. Using the Samsung soundbar/sub/rears, or headphones at night. The old JBL’s are only hooked up to the receiver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Thanks for the recommendations. Having fun with this setup. I had an old Copenhagen style recliner that we were about to get rid of but it works quite well with the stand. Thrustmaster T300 and GT Omega Apex stand. 7 year old is able to just reach the pedals with a pillow and the foot stand tilted up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Wire

    The Wire is my favorite show. I love Treme and probably spent more time researching New Orleans, Katrina, and the Indians then I did watching the show. I'm a big Steve Earle fan, and this became one of my favorites of his.
  11. WTF!!!! Damn it. I can't believe I completely missed that show.
  12. Not sure "upward failure" applies to Chad Morris. He did his thing.
  13. This week I learned from one of my high school students that I'm into Male Manipulator Music because of The Smiths and Radiohead. The kid has told me all year that he loves my taste in music. I told him whomever he heard that from was full of shit.
  14. As a teacher of High School Juniors and Seniors, I get plenty of random questions. I don't mind talking about out of course things with my students...it builds some relationships. Last week someone asked me what my favorite song was. I paused for a second, but then it came to me like it always does. "True Faith" by New Order. Although I have plenty of songs I love (Regret is a close 2nd) , "True Faith" is always my answer to that question. Perfect song at the perfect time in my life. Do you have a definitive favorite that you would mention every time that question is asked? Post here.
  15. After 50 years, TISCA Water Polo crowned their last champions a couple of weeks ago. St. Marks Boys and Flower Mound Girls. Now the sport is officially UIL and will pick back up on August 1st. When I played there were maybe 40 teams in Texas. St. Mark's was around back then, but not yet the power they are now. Unfortunately for them, they aren't UIL. Check out the Alignment now and the number of teams. Texas UIL Alignments.pdf
  16. HS teacher/coach. I don't usually get much of anything with monetary value. But every year, including this year, I get a couple of notes from students in my mailbox. It was probably some assignment, but some of them are obviously sincere. More often then not, the ones that thank me the most don't even mention the course work. It's always about my classroom environment, and how they look forward to being there. That is all I need in terms of appreciation. Meanwhile, my wife spends a week getting gift bags ready for our ALL of our boys elementary school teachers, coaches, specialists, librarians, etc. I think they are the ones that make a killing : )
  17. If I go with a wheel and pedals, should I get a stand or would a small table suffice? Worried about pedals sliding on the carpet. I'm not setup at a desk.
  18. Budget won't be a major issue. I'm ok with investing some since I really haven't done much, other than get bikini tops and such. But I don't need to go "highest" end. I don't mind approaching the higher end if it means I'll be very pleased with my decision. Some family members (two in the auto industry) suggested I just order all the parts I want, and then just find a good mechanic to do the work, rather than go to an off-road place. Thoughts on that? Seems to make sense.

    Austin FC

    Are there messicans in Austin anymore? I thought they all got pushed out towards Pflugerville, some outskirt, or something. When I was coaching soccer that was what was happening. Lonestar...big tall physical blonde kids with no soul. Pflugerville...fast little Hispanic kids who pissed me off but I cheered for. Georgetown, a combination of both. But just kidding..... a little. Bitter SA fan and all

    Austin FC

    La Murga? Los Verdes? Los Jefes? In Austin? lol.....Keep on trying. No one is buying this.
  21. First time playing a GT game. Lots of fun. I assumed I would need to get a wheel/pedal setup, but so far so good. Just working through the Music tracks and my 7 year old was having fun giving it a shot.
  22. This is my 99. I'm the original owner and I'm still under 130,000 miles. I'm never going to sell it, and I want my boys to learn to drive standard on it. This summer I'm finally going to do a lift. The only thing I ever did was go up to 31.5 tires. What lift and tire size would you all recommend? This is obviously not a daily driver and I won't be doing a whole lot of off-roading. I just want it to not look like a mail truck when I'm next to newer jeeps.
