I am always amazed at what humans will go through to communicate and reach out to other people. I started watching Jailbirds tonight and it kind of has me with my mouth open a bit saying "wow" at the extent to which people go to reach people of the opposite sex.
I remember watching Orange Is The New Black and the girls there would pass notes under the doors from one to the other until they got to the cell they needed to reach, or they would use the library system and highlight letters on pages and that would be some sort of morse code. I even remember roaches being trained to carry notes on their backs from one cell to another. All this I thought was pretty clever.
In this show, and I believe it is a documentary, so this is like real shit, ladies are the main people being interviewed, but the facility is like 90% men. The way they communicate from floor to floor is via toilet. The toilets being made of metal conduct the voice pretty clearly and the ladies talking say that although they are on the 8th floor, they can talk with people in the cells below them all the way down to the 4th floor. The one thing they say is that they have to remove the water to make the voices be clear.
If that isn't amazing enough, they then fashion rope out of their white shirts and by attaching spoons at the end, they ensure that the rope from above and below get tangled together. Once they are entangled, they can be pulled onto either of the floors and bags of contraband can be sent this way. One of the girls was talking about getting a bag of chips from some sweet suitor up above. All I can think of is "gross" as they showed a girl eating a bag of Doritos, and I am left thinking that went through the same pipes the poop travels on.
The guards are aware of this and they say that is the number 1 way people get weapons and drugs on isolated floors like the women's floor, so they try to put controls like they can only flush four times an hour, but it is still hard to keep up with people that have nothing but time on their hands. I thought all this was amazing and disgusting at the same time. Here we are, teaching our kids to cough into our elbows and using hand sanitizer when we shake hands and these peeps are eating food transferred through literal toilets.

5/20/19 I'm Not A Drinker?
Man, I paid for those few drinks the rest of the night on Saturday. As I had said, after the graduation, we had about an hour to sit and kill which my brother quickly filled with some drinks. I enjoyed sitting there with him talking shit and tasting different drinks, but the alcohol doesn't go away just because you stop drinking.
When they finally called us to go sit at the table, I was feeling good, as they say. I can understand why people end up fighting when they get drunk. As I was walking to the table I felt ten feet tall and lit up. I bumped into somebody and it may have been a little old lady but she bounced right off me like an oil droplet on a hot skillet "I thought yeah, that's what you get when you come at Big Mando, now sit yo ass before you hurt yourself." I found my peeps sitting in the wrong part of the table, I usually sit at the important section at the center of good conversation, but because I took too long at the bar, we were sat at the opposite end of the table, away from my folks and aunt. I only had my peeps to argue with and Javalina kept whispering at me saying I was being loud to which I kept yelling at him to stop fucking with me and talk in a normal tone and I won't yell. Wife kept shushing me and I kept telling her not to boss me around, she knows I am the Paterfamilias!
My brother had ordered some nachos at the bar and they were great with all that melted cheese and fajita meat on top, so I ordered a plate of those for lunch and they were kick ass. The only problem was that we were split by two waiters and I went with the side of my boys and Wife went with the other side of the table. We got our food and I pretty much finished eating everything before Wife got her plate. I was then expected to sit there quietly and act like a human, yet every two minutes a waittress was shoving me over trying to get through with a giant tray of food. I was just thinking "slide that ass along my back, it's all good." But ehh, life don't work that way. Eventually, I tried shutting down and going to sleep, but Wife wouldn't let me, so I got up and walked around like a shark trying to start conversation elsewhere. My uncle and brother were having a good laugh at me being a little drunk, so I stayed with them and ate cake.
The graduate seemed to like my gift, he was surprised to see on my note that although I was atheist, I still considered the bible to be a book of worthwhile value to society, not as a set of rules to live by, but as a literary source. We hugged it out, all was great, then we left. It was so awesome to sit in the car and get that A/C going. I was sort of pinching a groundhog (if you know what I mean after all that meat and cheese) and the traffic looked horrible on 1604. Magically, when you fall asleep you awaken at your destination and that is exactly what happened. I pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon in bed. I don't know that I was hungover, I didn't get a headache or even much cottonmouth, but I was tired and that could have just been from getting up at 7:30am, but heck, we showed up for family and that is always the right thing to do.

5/19/19 ToThe Bar?
Saturday was a blur, thanks very much to my brother. By the time we got to the graduation ceremony and found my family in the mezzanine section, my brother already had a tall beer and was looking for more. It took me a second to realize my brother was looking for a drinking buddy and I was going to have to rally. First off, I tried being the good little husband and sitting next to Wife, but my ass was too wide for their shitty excuse of a seat. Both ass cheeks were hitting either hand rest on both sides. My brother was standing in the last row and I figured he had the same problem as me fitting in the seats. We were paying attention to the graduating ceremony, but barely. Eventually, my brother wanted a beer, so we stepped out to the hallways and went back downstairs, bringing my dad along.
My dad was complaining about the seats and the handful of stairs he had to climb as we took the elevator down to the 2nd floor. We then came back up and never really got back into the viewing area. My brother and I decided we've seen enough graduations that we know what happens. We hung out in the backside where people walk and we were talking about what's been going on. He is planning a nice trip to New York for summer vacation, catching baseball games along the way. While we were trying to chill, a nosey worker kept coming up and being a pain in the ass. She did not want us sitting at the little guard checkpoint because we would confuse the other patrons who might ask us questions. Then she didn't want us in the hallway, so we went towards the inside where the people sat, but stayed at the very top and the bitch called a cop on us who came and told us to sit down because we were creating a fire hazard by blocking the escape area. At this we walked out and remembered the nosey bitch had mentioned a handicap area and as we walked we found an open area with sofas and a TV to see the ceremony, that was the best thing ever. We sat there like fat kings, my dad and Javalina joined us and we were comfortable for about an hour. Eventually, Boy came out with his GF and then Wife made it out. We then went outside to greet the graduates and then we headed off to eat. We got real lucky with parking finding a spot only about hundred yards from the door.
We got to Chili's way too early, by like an hour and my brother came in and opened a tab. He asked everyone if they wanted a drink and none of us really drink, well my sister didn't go, but I said I'd go sit at the bar with him. Wife yelled order a fruity drink, don't be trying to fool yourself ordering beer, just being an ass as we left her behind. I did order a frozen strawberry margarita drink that was good, then a scotch (cause that looks like what men drink), and just as I finished that, the barkeep gave us a small glass of pina colada, which was so yummy, I wanted a second glass of it, but by then I was getting cloudy. I went through the meal as they finally called us to sit down drunk I guess. Javalina kept saying I was yelling, but I think he was fucking with me by whispering so softly. I just ordered nachos for lunch as my brother had ordered some at the bar and they were so good. I was kind of uncomfortable in that chair, Wife wouldn't let me fall asleep in my chair, so I eventually got up and chatted with my uncle and other family members. Oh yeah, my cousin liked the idea of the Bible and thanked me for the words of encouragement I added. Overall, the day was very good, we were back home by 5:30pm or so, but I was a drunk mess and mostly slept the afternoon away.

5/18/19 Upon Your Graduation, Cousin?
Today is a good day. Today is a day to sit back and reflect on what you have accomplished in such a short time. You are on your way to what I believe will be an interesting and unique life. Don't think for a minute that just because you are degreed that you are now special or above the law or entitled to anything more than the next person. What you have is hopefully a little more knowledge in something you find fascinating or at least interesting. This in turn can possibly help move you forward towards a life that can make you happy because you chose this path.
To help you in your path, we give you the Holy Bible. It is not meant as the solution for all of life's problems. Honestly, I am atheist as you probably already know, but I still think it is an important literary source. There are many interesting stories to reflect from and just think about. I think it can be appreciated as a good set of stories from the eyes of a scholar, which I take you to be, specially with your degree. At worst, if you claim to hate it, and you are already a true atheist, read into it. We should never hate something without having knowledge of it. There is no worse crime than ignorance on this planet. Too many people are easily influenced one way or another because they insist on being void of knowledge and that to me is a sad position to fight from. Your best version will always be the one that loads up on as much learning as you can from as many sources as you can, then what comes from you can only be the truth as you see it. On the other hand, if you are a believer, well this is a beautiful version, wrapped in leather and small enough to take anywhere.
I heard you were thinking or wanting to teach as a professor. That is a noble and very reachable goal. Right now that you are young, stay in school, one day you will realize these are the greatest days you ever lived. I always thought it was a magical time being in my early 20's, living away from home. I never even thought about the fact that I was always broke, it wasn't as important as being in that community of like minded people sharing ideas and growing together into adults.
I can't think of anything else to say other than as a representative of your family in Austin, I want to say we are all proud of you and we love you. We went ahead and added a $50 Mastercard gift card in case the Bible is too much sermon, not enough fun at this stage of your life. Keep the bible though, it is a nice one wrapped in leather and meant for a young man, according to the cover. It somehow explores thoughts and ideas men have and answers them through scripture.

5/17/19 Another Graduate In The Family?
I usually don't talk about the extended family, shoot, my family doesn't always like me talking about them, to which I say don't do idiot things if you don't want to be known for doing idiot things. But I digress, a cousin of mine is graduating and I think that is pretty cool. We are not your typical large Hispanic family. My mom has four kids, that aunt with the graduating kid has two, my mom's older sister has three kids, my other aunt never had kids, neither did my older uncle and the younger uncle has one.
I grew up close to my older aunt's kids but then she moved after a divorce and it was never really the same after. My younger aunt with the two kids had them later. I was already in Austin and thus have never really been close to them. I see them about once a year which makes it that much harder to have a relationship with them, but what are you going to do? This kid graduating is from my aunt who is the youngest of my mom's siblings, but then he is younger than Boy by a year, I think. Boy just loves college so much, he is taking longer than normal. I kid, but he is taking a while now, oh well, he should finish in the fall.
My cousin is getting a degree in English and I guess that has proven to be a versatile degree. I put my foot in my mouth a couple years ago by saying an English degree or any liberal arts degree like that has nothing on a natural sciences degrees, trying to start a fun little discussion but my sister has an english degree so my mom attacked like I had stepped on a bee hive. I maintain that it is harder to get a science degree as it might be harder to get an engineering degree, which Boy is doing, but an English degree can be turned into a couple of things more than a teacher. My sister is now a principal, and that is pretty cool. My cousin has mentioned he is going to continue to study so he can teach at University level, which sounds like he may need a Master's degree and possibly a PhD. I don't think he has a life sucking girlfriend, so he should be able to do much yet to improve himself.
You never know where you will end up, my brother got a boring ass History degree which he then turned into a law degree, so the important thing is to just keep plugging away. I knew nothing about chemistry (it wasn't even taught in high school in my day) and only focused on it because I thought it would be good to be strong in this field for a career in medicine but since I hate condoms, I didn't get that far. It has been a good fit for me.

5/16/19 The Transition To Crockett Starts?
It pains me but I am leaving the choice to Javalina. He is choosing to go to Crockett High School because that is where the bulk of his friends are going and he has been invited to continue the Einstein program over there. I was hoping he would go to Akins as it is almost across the street from our neighborhood and that is where Boy and his friends went.
I had to take him to the campus yesterday and it gave me a chance to look at it quickly from eye level, not just driving by. I am seeing a pattern, Bedichek is designed in the same way, with an open atrium inside the classrooms. I am guessing that in the 70s, this campus was very nice and maybe even beautiful with flowers and plants on the inside atrium area. I have nothing negative to say about either school. Javalina has been comfortable at Bedichek, probably because it is 90% beaners.
I took him to campus to take some sort of test for reading and writing. It was scheduled for 4:10pm, and he gets out of school at 3:45, so there was no time to screw around. I got up at 2:00pm, took a shower then texted Girlie to see if she wanted a ride. Her mom was going to pick her up, but I needed the company or I am sure I would have fallen asleep either at Dairy Queen, which is less than a block from campus or in the Excursion. He had two hours and I told him he better use the time, otherwise don't even bother taking the test. He actually stayed longer, but he missed the writing by one point. We can do it again next week, so yeaih! I am not sure if this gives him credit for the high school version of English or what, but he is being given a lot of chances to pass. At least he passed the reading portion, so hopefully he can get through the writing next week.
He said it was tough. We usually eat when I pick him up, so his stomach was growling and making loud noises, so he was a little embarrassed. It helped that another kid was also having the same problem. I think after school is a tough time to ask kids to focus and sit still for two hours, but I guess.
I hadn't had a burger from Dairy Queen in a while. It was alright, the fries were good. It was nice to sit and chat and not be on the run like I always seem to be during the week. After sitting there for an hour, we headed to the campus, but surprisingly, we had to wait another full hour. Sitting here at work almost at the end of my shift, I do notice that I went to sleep as soon as I came back from dropping him off in the morning and I was really not drowsy like I usually am. Maybe my BS is caused by me not going to bed when I should. I just hate feeling like I am sleeping my life away for work all the time.

5/15/19 Stomach Surgery Can Work?
I came in as usual lately, hoping for a distraction. I have not been enjoying work as much as I used to. While coming back from the bathroom, I ran into a lady who needed help with some bottles to bring some water samples from the fab. Knowing the little that I know, I told her I am not sure which would be the right bottles to give you, but I do know that normally the bottles we use for samples go through a ton of cleaning. We have to rinse them 10 times with ultra pure water, then fill them with 10%HNO3 acid to break anything down that might still have remained in the bottles. Then we rinse them an additional 10 times before using them for anything. I called my boss and he figured out some bottles we could spare that have been put away in the 10%HNO3 solution. I rinsed them for her and placed them in a plastic bag to keep them as clean as possible.
She was only in the lab with me for about ten minutes but she opened up rather quickly and started talking about getting surgery in her stomach and that she used to weigh almost 400 pounds. She had the surgery back in 2014 and has managed to keep the weight off. The thing that surprised me a bit was when she asked if I wanted to see the extra skin. She looks slim, but still has the extra skin of being a much bigger person on her stomach and her arms. I have heard and seen this on YouTube, so I wasn't surprised but I guess it is a small problem to deal with if it means you can walk around at a much smaller weight.
I think I will stick to doing it my way. We kind of started our Atkins dieting this week, there just happens to be too much crap at the house, currently. Wife bought some ready to heat pizzas from Little Caesar's and I hate to say it, but we need to plow through them before we can commit to a diet. There was also chicken which I finished Monday night from Chicken Express and a whole bunch of brisket that I am sorry, but it needs to go in some tortillas to get eaten, but after all that, yes, we will probably be doing another stretch of a month or so. I would love to lose another forty, even if I gain half of it back by eating the crap I shouldn't.
The lady said she was down under 200 pounds, I would be glad to get in the 250-300 weight area. I have always been big, but 400 has been a bit much. I feel it on the knees and other joints, and I don't see it getting better as I age, so I know what I have to do.
