Houston Heart Beat

Share Okay, so the love life of your friendly, neighborhood blogger has been quite eventful in the past couple of days. No, I didn’t find the love of my life or have a salacious tale of passion. Nope, all I have is a guide on what drinks not to order when you are on a [...]

The Great Experiment

Share So I am trying something a little different with cutting up my Thoughts, and just discussing with relevant topics as they become available. I kinda like it, it’s got more of a shoot from the hip, and makes the blog a little more timely. I still like the idea of a weekly digest, but [...]

Wire-less in Houston

Share Houston, do you feel richer today? You should because Earthlink just paid our fair city $5 million non-refundable today because they did not start their network of citywide wireless in the timeline they had given. I am not sure if we should be worried at this point. I mean, this announcement comes at a [...]

Um, yeah. I'm a doofus!

Share So, I just looked down, and realized that I totally missed my blog’s birthday, hmm, maybe two weeks ago? Jeez, I hope it’ll forgive me. I would like to thank those of you who have become readers in this past year. It’s still a work in progress, and I hope to continue to have [...]

Buffalo Bayou Gets a Coffee Break

Share Buffalo Bayou is one of my favorite places in Houston, and one of its best kept secrets. I know it’s an easy target given is brown hue, but I do not enjoy the Bayou as a aquatic attraction, rather as a nice place to relax in town. I have always found the Tapley Tributary [...]

Thoughts of an Urban Houstonian

Share I was unable to put together a Thoughts this week because of a pretty hectic week. Actually, I took work home with me this week, and it took away my blogging time this week. I will add this week’s topics to next week’s Thoughts. In the meantime, you can see me at the Theater [...]

Houston Heart Beat

Share Okay, so you’re getting lucky with another Heart Beat! Yeah, when you get lucky, it means I am very unlucky. So, that message I was waiting for a response on? Well, I got a response, but it was a “Not Interested.” Now, maybe I deserve this for my recent “No, thanks,” but that seems [...]

Houston Heart Beat

Share I felt that Heartbreak Houston was a little too self defeating, so I came up with a new name for my ongoing coverage of my journey to find love in Houston. I hope you like it. Let me start out by giving you a little update on what has been going on. I have [...]

Thoughts of an Urban Houstonian

Share Poof, Be GONE!Well, so much for the smoking ban. As reported in the Chronicle, the City of Houston has announced that the ban, which is supposed to take effect in September, is going to be largely self enforced. In other words, it’s up to the owners and customers to stop smoking in the bars. [...]

Boycotting a Boycott

Share So, the City gave the River Oaks Shopping Center historical landmark status, and it’s set for demolition very soon. Understandably, there are many people who are not happy with this situation ,myself included. There is simply no reason for Weingarten to have allowed this to happen. As has been reported by my friend over [...]
