Randumb Thoughts...

In case you're wondering that's Miss Alanah Rae's booty with our logo on that...

Funny things that I've realized...

Twitter has a CRAPLOAD of porn bots and apparently they all wanna follow me... Man a brotha wants to know what his favorite porn stars are doing and it has to be ruined by bots... LOL

In watching the original David Blaine special, I wonder sometimes why didn't someone scream "HOLY SHIT A WIIIIITCH!" and proceeded to light him on fire with a zippo... The reactions to his magikery is prettty freakin' priceless...

In playing Rock Band 2, I realize that my brother has a set of pipes on him... Gotta remember to put earplugs in like a real rock band... and soundproof my room...

Speaking of Rock Band, I'm waiting for Rock Band: John Mayer...

Oh and when are they coming out with a "real rock band" pack to download? You know... during career mode:

"Your drummer is now addicted to heroin and is now on Addiction with Dr. Drew... Lose $1,000,000 and a million fans"

In talking with my brother he now realizes why I say the goofy crap I say... What can I say my earliest memories of my dad is he'd have company over and porn would be on the TV... LOL

It's a beautiful day, don't let it get away!

Ok, Ok...

UH... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???

Apparently I'm not good enough to be a training specialist or a Assistant Bank Manager trainee in Lake Charles, LA.... LOL! Oh well, as with all things we go on and will continue to get my hustle on...

Sooo... Just got back from a marathon travel sesh... Kinda sucks having to come back to the residence but I did find out a lot of things on this trip...

So what did Alan find out? (In no particular order...)

1.) Driving 4 days in a rent-a-truck dragging your mother's SUV behind you on busy free/highways friggin' sucks...

2.) I still don't know where the hell Van Horn, TX is... But the Chevron truck stop had a BOMB ass Mexican restaurant with the BEST salsa I've had in awhile!!!

3.) Truck stop restaurants kick MAJOR ass...

4.) Monster Energy, Red Bull, and Rockstar Energy drinks ARE your best friends...

5.) Don't ever travel with a mother who says "It's up to you when you wanna stop..." Then proceeds to bitch about being hungry and tired 30 minutes later...

6.) Texas is a BIG ASS state!!!

7.) Dairy Queens must be VERY popular in Texas...

8.) Don't rent trucks from Budget Rentals in Reno... Son of a bitch sent us out on the road with 2 bald front tires on the truck and 3 bald tires on the trailer carrying my mom's truck... Good thing we stopped at that Shell in Wickenburg...

9.) If given a choice stay at a Holiday Inn Express... La Quinta Inn's are SKETCHY AS HELL!!!

10.) No matter where you go Denny's Grand Slam Burgers KICK ASS!!!

11.) I'm suddenly starting to realize that my mother complains about various afflictions that she may be a hypochondriac...

12.) Apparently if you have a Wal Mart you are considered in civilization... (Used to be McDonald's...)

13.) Driving the I-10 East in Houston on a Saturday night in a rent-a-truck dragging an SUV behind you is the scariest thing EVER!!!! I think that steering wheel still has indentations where my hands where...

14.) Lake Charles is humid!!!

15.) Ryan's in Lake Charles is the best buffet in that town and cheap too! (Ok, who are we kidding, anyplace that has fried porkchops, catfish, greens, mac and cheese, red beans and rice, is ALWAYS good to me...)

16.) I REALLY miss Arizona...

17.) I need to get myself a job... LOL

I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff but that's all I got mentally for now...

Have a good one!

On the Road Again...

The lovely Kagney Linn Karter.... Now you know... Need to get this girl on a DeauxBrahs board!

The incredibly adorable Alanah Rae unpacking

Well I figured I'd start with a vision of hotness since I'm heading out to Arizona, which is the first leg of a three day roadie moving my mom to Lake Charles, LA so she can start her new job! All I can say is yay!

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks since we flew out to Lake C so my mom could interview at the L'Augberg Du Lac Casino. The fact that she interviewed and got the job on the same day is so amazing! Maybe whirlwind isn't the best description for it perhaps it's been a hurricane couple of weeks... Nah that's not good either... Oh well I'll figure out a good metaphor before I end this... LOL

It's been insane trying to get my mom's apartment and school stuff squared away. Thankfully my usually dependent mom decided to do most of this stuff on her own. More sleep for me!

But I will have to say that I am incredibly proud of my mom. People fail to realize that my mom has lived in the town of Reno, NV for over 40 years! In a family that seems to never follow through on their intentions to move away my mom got a job and grew a pair and is leaving this hellhole that I also call Reno... Of course it helps when you get a job, but she was even talking about not taking the job if she didn't like the town... Lo and behold she LOVED the lil' town of Lake Charles, Louisiana! (I only know this due to the fact that she won't shut up about it now... lol) But it was funny going through the process with her from thinking of all the negatives to the positives... Thank God there were more positives than negatives!

Of course that means Grandma and Grandpa gotta follow so once I'm done getting the grandparent's business squared away and once mom is settled and cool I'll be escorting grandma and grandpa on a jet plane to Houston again to make the journey to Lake Charles where they'll settle with my mom...

I'm hopefully gonna get a job there too so I can settle in as well (Mom reserved a 3 bedroom apartment... So I guess I better get my butt over there to occupy a room... lol)

For now though gonna chill in the RNO (unfortunately...) and see if I can find some gainful employment here...

I guess I'm excited and sooo happy for my mom but I'm also sad that she won't be here... I wonder if that's how she felt when her oldest baby left the nest for Arizona 10 years ago... (probably not, I'm sure she wanted my ass outta the house by that point... we were working each other's last good nerve... lol!). Now the 3 day roadie? That's a WHOLE different story... I hate driving long distances so this is gonna blow BIG TIME! LOL

Anyway, thanks for reading about my tsunami last couple of weeks... Ahh crap that don't work either... Ok, guess we'll just call it whirlwind... Jeez soooo cliche!!!

Good Things are a Startin'...

Checkin' in from Louisiana, I figure since everyone is sleepin' might as well... So good things have been happenin' in my clan since the last entry... Lil' bro got a full time job at the station he works at! Total Captain Morgan moment there! But another cool thing is my mom who's been out of a job since February FINALLY got a job in an industry she knows which is the casino industry... AND got a payraise in the process!

Makes a brotha wonder what in the world is going on when you gotta go out of state to get a job anymore... Soo... What does that mean for our lil' troupe? I'll probably be relocating to Lake Charles, Louisana that's what... But it won't be too bad, if worse comes to worse I always got Houston, TX... Albeit my preference was to go back to Arizona, buuuut ya gotta go where the cash is flowing... Go figure it's here in Louisiana... LOL

So anyways, here's to good times thank god for some of the good stuff he's been givin' my fam lately!

OH NO... WE SUCK AGAIN!!!!

I can live without my PS3??? I dunno Rob Schneider...

Yeah... So my PS3 just straight up crapped out on me... So Al needs to send his precious to friggin Sony so they can fix the fan that apparently now doesn't work... Lame... On the bright side I'm going to be out of town for the next week so that should ease the pain a lil' bit... Not much but a lil' bit...

Anyway enough babbling I just wanted to get that off my chest...

Life is Just a Fantasy...

Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory - MTV Shows - Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory - MTV Shows - Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory (Season 1) - MTV Shows

Duuude... A lil' commercial break... Check out Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory Season 2 on MTV (boy remember the days when they actually played videos???? But then again that was when the cable box had a row of buttons to select the 20 some odd channels... Damn I'm gettin' old...)

I've been out awhile but I've been workin' like a dog... literally... But that has all changed my friends I'm now a free agent again! Basically that means a brotha got fired... LOL But thankfully I've got a bright spot in that my mother is getting an interview for a job... In Louisiana.... So future broadcasts may come from the LA (and I don't mean the city of Angels... Which by the way when I mentioned that via my twitter I got some LA blog bot that started following me... LOL).

I strangely feel ecstatic that I lost my job... I went to work everyday and came home mean mugging... Which in turn took a toll on my health. I will miss my co-workers because the folks I met were some good people, and as the saying goes you should always surround yourself with good people. Unfortunately the good people at work don't translate to good customers on the phone, and it definitely DOESN'T translate to a company that fails in it's overall organization... That's all I'll say in regards to that but I was done and looking anyway...

So the new adventure... Perhaps if my mother gets the job in Louisiana I may be relocating to the dirty dirty souf... I also applied for some positions out there so hopefully I can roll and do work in another profession... Or another scenario is my mother looking for a spot for a restaurant where basically I end up as a one of the head chefs! I enjoy cooking and chefin' so I guess that I could take my talents in another direction!

Anyway enough of the babbling... Unless you forgot your Unisom, then keep reading...

Bottom line I'll probably be blogging more again and hopefully working on getting my company off the ground! Oh and do I see the return of the podcast??? Whoa there turbo... Let's just concentrate on trying to get some funny ass stuff on this blog again...

Later folks!

Deauxin' the Deaux

The logo you'll need to remember!

One of our concept shirts based on one of our boards

DeauxBrahs - Grungy

DeauxBrahs - Flarey

And the DeauxBrahs - Boldly Go (Wonder where that one came from...)

Wow... Another long layoff... For those who are some reason still following this blog (If you are, I'm assuming the beer and liquor hasn't run out yet...) I've been working horrible hours and I've been working on a side project that me and my brother came up with when I was out of a job.

We've started our own skateboard company! I'm sure many of you are wondering "WHAT?" That's why you haven't been writing??? LOL, no but it's been a labor of love getting shirt samples and board samples tested. It's something that I truly enjoy! Anyway, I would be remiss if I didn't mention a good friend who's been on this dream train with me and my brother. My homeboy Paco Montoya, who is one of the proprietors of E&P Designs made our logo for us, so a HUGE thank you goes out to him for helping us realize and finalize a dream!

So what's next you may ask for this DeauxBrahs brand? I dunno, I'm thinking we're just gonna try and get our buzz going here locally and keep selling the shirts and boards on the web and out the back of my trunk... LOL Who knows, maybe snowboards and other "action sports" apparel may follow, but whichever way it goes I'm ready to Deaux the Deaux!

The official website soon to follow!
