The Lame Texpatriot: One Fine Day
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2010/11/one-fine-day.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. I am having a good day. This morning I woke up early, and attended a presentation at the National Democracy Insititute. A major player in international political development/ democracy promotion. They were recapping the November 7 elections in authoritarian Burma, but more than that, they were demonstrating a new project/ platform. We were interrupted, briefly, by Ian Schuler. Capturing the gist of his article, an...

The Lame Texpatriot: October 2009
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Friday, October 23, 2009. You Might Have Won $0.00: Wedding Progress is a Zero-Sum Game. So wedding chat it is. As I mentioned quite some time ago. Shelley has already finished most of the wedding planning. In fact, she's been done for 2 months. I, on the other hand, have languished in my few responsibilities, sometimes for reasons of personal negligence, and other times through disastrous conditions beyond my full control. Stuffing station ...

The Lame Texpatriot: What's in a Name?
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2008/09/whats-in-name.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Thursday, September 18, 2008. What's in a Name? So here it is, after weeks of promises, and only 4 months after starting my first blog; the debut of my second. The reasons for this new blog are simple. 1) The premise of the old blog became obsolete. 2) I wanted to keep doing it. Grad schoolin' pays off already with these $30,000 words. So what the hell is a Lame Texpatriot? Thanks Pace). As to the first, I started thinking of myself, gru...

Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Beethoven Turkey Cinema: The Unlikely 2010 Thanksgiving of Ryan and Shelley. Dont mis-read; thanks to cable TV, the internet, etc. they are all very much members of the 21st century, and most no longer live and work on farms and ranches. But many grew up in those environs, and many more stayed close, or even returned to them, after time in San Antonio, Houston, or NYC. Example #1 - In Oklahoma, my father, an oil ...

The Lame Texpatriot: Sanity Rally pt 3 - Politics as Unusual
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2010/11/sanity-rally-pt-3-politics-as-unusual.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Thursday, November 4, 2010. Sanity Rally pt 3 - Politics as Unusual. In the lead up to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in Washington DC on October 30, it seems the major media talking points were:. What secret political message would Jon Stewart insert into his supposedly 'apolitical' event? What impact would he have on the upcoming Midterm elections? The special guest line up was not only balanced, it w...

The Lame Texpatriot: March 2010
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. So, how is Texas doing in the brackets this year? I really haven't kept up. All very cool, but a very busy start to March. For the 14th, Shelley and I neglected to make any good plans for "pi" day, and so after going to catch out friend Katie in an improve throw-down (she won! Class presentation is tomorrow, and after I get through that, hopefully I'll have a better idea of exactly where (else) I'm taking this....

The Lame Texpatriot: January 2010
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Sunday, January 31, 2010. You can's spell Normalcy without N-Y-C. Further afield, though not much further, is the looming presence of my M.A. thesis, and even more looming, though unfortunately not much further, is the daunting maw of job hunting/ applications. It's cold here, but then what's new? I have a wife now, and a Wii. Beyond that, I'm just going to keep on keepin' on until such time and incident as gives me chance to do otherwise.

The Lame Texpatriot: February 2010
http://lametexpatriot.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Musings of a wandering mind from the displaced Republic of One. Thursday, February 25, 2010. They're all tough sells once you actually travel there, and it is just this awakening that I had on our recent trip to Boston. After getting settled, we walked to the Boston Common, then kept walking just to look around while the sun was still up. We passed the state house, the Customs house and Faneiulle Hall, and suddenly we were at the Aquarium. Had no idea just how small downtown Boston was! Enough calories i...
