Students earns media awards

A student has turned two lunch periods worth of work into an animation project that earned him second place in the Texas Media Awards competition.

You Can Read My Content on Valley Central and Contempo

I haven't mentioned that I've been picked up as a contributor to both ValleyCentral.com as their Tech writer and Contempo Magazine as a general writer. It never occurred to me that I might be considered a writer; but everything I have done has led up to this. I hope I don't run out of things to say. Continue

Reunions No Longer Necessary?

I read an article, don't remember where, that asserted that modern generations no longer have to have class reunions because of Facebook, MySpace, and other social media. You can catch up with people you like without having to get together in person. You can also avoid the people you don't like. In my opinion, it's bullshit. The reason why I think this is because I'm pretty active in social media. I keep up with a lot of people on a lot of different sites. This includes people I've never met. Ev… Continue

Mission Junior High School Fall Festival 2008

I just want to briefly mention that I went to the Mission Junior High Fall Festival with my family last night. My daughter is enrolled there. Overall, we had fun. Our son bounced around in a moonjump. We had some stuff to eat. I was entertained by the karaoke performances on a portable stage. It's always fun to have family outings. Was anybody here able to go?

How is your family after Hurricane Dolly?

Hey everybody. I just want to let everybody know that we did OK during Hurricane Dolly. There was no damage to the house. There were some fallen branches and a couple trees in the neighborhood. We were lucky that the nasty part of the storm veered off to the North of Edinburg. It took FM 490 West instead of US 83. We spent most of the storm without power. Even now, I'm at Jitterz posting. Thankfully, nothing eventful happened during this storm. How are all of you doing? Continue

Uphill BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, There was no way in hell I was going to lay A bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it And how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm… Continue

Birthdays

I cannot tell you HOW many people asked me, "So does it BOTHER you that this is your LAST birthday in your 30's" UGH! NO! Actually, it really didnt bother me. (maybe a little) I wasn't going to let it get me down (so i thought). And then the DAY before my birthday? I spent the WHOLE day crying. (off and on) Don't ask me why.... i have NO idea. Maybe it was hormones....Maybe my blood sugar was off.... that MUST be it.... because crying over turning 39 is really ridiculous.… Continue

Great for a laugh...

For the last 5 years, Mission Paving has been sending boxes to soldiers fighting the war on terror. Sometimes we pack the boxes ourselves, or sometimes we just pay the postage for a soldiers family. To date we have sent over 500 boxes.... i get LOTS of military related email and soldier stories... here's a funny one :) Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat. If you aren't la… Continue

So it may not be worth 2 cents but.....

Hi All.... My first blog entry... what to do... what to do.. Should I say something witty? Should I complain about gas prices? I know.... the upcoming election! Uh... no. I'll just ramble a bit about the activity that's been taking up the last three months of my life. LOL. Just finished up coordinating the 5th Annual Mission Classic Car Show. It was held Saturday, March 8th, at The Mission Sports Park at Sharyland Plantation. We had over 250 muscle cars, hot rods, street rods, and classic cars… Continue

Help Me Pass Out MissionEagles.org Cards

I recently had some cards made for MissionEagles.org to try to bring in more members. As I go to different places in town, I'll hand them out to people. If you would like some cards to help me find more members, let me know. We can meet up somewhere and I can give you some.

My goal is to add more people from different classes or even more members from our own class. Obviously, there are thousands of people who have graduated from MHS; so why not bring them all together?
