It’s 63 degrees here in Fort Worth right now. Thats a bit ridiculous, dammit. I miss hot weather. One winter here will be enough for me. My brother keeps telling me about AWESOME ice storms, and AWESOME icicles on the tree branches, and cars sliding around the roads, which is also AWESOME.

I mean, I like to live life on the edge, right? Who doesn’t? But more so when I’m in control of the stupid things that happen and keep you on your toes.

So, if Texas and Tampa were in a football game, or any such game where points are tallied, this is where it stands right now:

Texas

1. Long green arrows
2. Hills (they’re hills, to me, goddamnit. Florida is at sea level. If I go up and then down, and can see houses a mile away, thats a fucking hill)
3. Awesome lightning (spider lightning, pink clouds, silent storms and sharp cracks of occasional thunder)
4. Mexican restaurants up the ying-yang
5. Better suburban traffic (3 lane roads through the towns)
6. Awesome vegan diner downtown
7. Cheap gas ($2.22 for 87)

Tampa

1. The ability to take your beer outside when you have a cigarette
2. Road signs that are correct and make sense
3. Separately, when you go I-75 N, you head north. Here you go north on I-35 W. Huh?
4. Rush hour traffic is manageable compared to Texas. In Texas, you just sit it one spot for an hour. And rush hour starts at like THREE.
5. Beach.
6. Moes
7. Einsteins

Oh, looks like we’re about even. Hmm. I’ll have to work on that.

And, this song rocks my sock. It’s from the Twilight soundtrack, which is actually quite enjoyable.
