1. i always sleep on the right side of the bed.

alright. enough with the football. we will all have a grand ol time on the fourth of january watching it, and we will all rejoice together in the fact that we just love college football... win or lose. so here is a little something to get your spirit flowin. I think we should all get together and have a party, and if so, i will cook a Poole family recipe for everyone...

per each two persons i will cook one pepper corn porkloin...

you grill it on an open flame until it is well cooked

next i will make my "rockin good time new potatoes"...

boil small red potatoes until fully cooked, then cut into smaller pieces. throw them in the frying pan with special spices (gotta keep some things a secret) and butter.

green been casserol...

self explanitory

and the best part... a black cherry wine sauce for the pork...

you take a jar of black cherry preserves and a cup of a black cherry based wine and combine in a pot with a few tablespoons of butter. then you add two tablespoons of diced garlic.

the spice of the pork with the sweet sauce is probably the best thing that i have ever consumed.

get ready folks... january fourth is going to be a gooooooooood day.

i really could care less about the UT football team, i was just pointing out a humorous error.. and there were doubters.. here ya go... the shirt goes for 20.99 and the hoodie for 39.99

Did you ever get a paper back in school because the teacher wouldn't accept it with grammatical errors? Me neither, because I am a genius... But those people down at CLC (college licensing company) weren't so lucky... Or was the error in the favor of the brilliant minds of the longhorns? You decide...

a rose bowl tee that is being sold has a few errors...
1. The rose bowl hasn't been decided yet... Remember the Cal people last year that got dicked over ? (although we all know it will be USC and Texas, but still, you understand)
2. And most important the shirt reads "every rose has it's 'horns'" .. You see, "it's" means "it is"... "Every rose has it is horns".. Sounds about right. When using "it" as the possessive.. There is no apostrophe. Not like using a proper noun such as "Cullen's blog rocks."
3. What were they thinking when they chose to use this saying anyways?? "every rose has its horns".. First of all, they have "thorns", big difference. And even if you liked the play on words, or "pun" if you will... The "thorns" are the worst part of the rose. No one buys the rose on valentine's day because it's thorny.. They are annoying...They buy it because its bud is pretty. Now, if they were to put "you can't grab THIS bull by its horns"... Or "beast beats man"... Or even something like "horns eat roses for breakfast"... Those are classy :) haha. But really, "every rose has it's horns" beat out the no. 2 "a rose by any other name, would still smell as sweet" from Romeo and Juliet in this weeks VH1 special, "top 100 sayings about a rose" that came on right after "top 100 worst moments on television that involved Paris Hilton".

moral of the English lesson... Rebel against those teachers that sent the papers back to you with red ink covering the paper like the blood pouring from the finger that you sliced on the bitch of thorn when you were trying to be nice and give your mother something beautiful for her birthday.. Take a stand and wear that shirt like you fuckin own it (because chances are, if you are wearing it, you do), and grab life buy its figurative "horns" and ride that bitch... You ride that steer all the way to Pasadena... Where a crowd of maroon and gold will be wearing shirts that don't look like a second graders book report, and you tell them "fuck ya'll, I'm from Texas... Where former governor and proud Texan, G W Bush, made the Texas public education system the schooling Mecca that it is today!"

so i used to think i was afraid of change... turns out, i am addicted to it. i started doing things differently to rebel against myself, and i guess now, i cant stop it. i am not just talking about the small things like what i order when i eat out, or what beer i like to drink... i am talking about the big things, too. and yes, folks, even the blog. so i changed the layout, which of course means new beginnings. so i have decided that this will be my creative outlet. i will tell you funny stories (fiction and non fiction, you can interpret them as you please), i will share age old family recipes that will knock socks off, i will even create discussions to get everyone involved... who knows, i might even drop some of my rap and techno tracks... watch out, because in the words of david bowie "changes, turn and face the strain... time may change me, but i cant trace time"
