Turning Point to Turnaround

Posted on February 08, 2011
37-21 Well, fuck. I follow the Horns year round - recruiting, arrests, what have you. I highly anticipate the season, go to a couple of games, including OU. I buy some more burnt orange gear. I cart a boom box...

2010 Texas Longhorns Football Preview

Posted on September 02, 2010
Save for a nerve in Colt McCoy's right shoulder being compressed from a hit by Alabama's Marcell Dareus, we'd be talking about a post-championship year in 2010. This season would have been much like '06 where expectations were extremely low...

Emerging Adulthood

Posted on August 18, 2010
Stumbled across this article in the NY Times today. It's a subject I've thought a lot about and discussed with a lot of people, mainly because I personally went through it and have watched others do the same. It appears...

I Am A Magnetic for Ineptitude and Deceipt

Posted on July 26, 2010
My glasses broke on Friday night. They were 3 years old and a frameless style that had no hinges on the limbs. The frames were made from titanium and were flexible. One of the limbs of the frame is actually...

I Have A Problem With Daniel Johnston

Posted on March 02, 2010
I intend to write a post about traveling to Vancouver and going to the Winter Olympics, but I just watched all but the first ten minutes of The Devil and Daniel Johnston and I want to write about that first....

Ojo's Lesson in Humility

Posted on February 18, 2010
Like the hundreds of millions (billions?) of people that have come before me, I am seeing the signs of aging in my body. Nowhere has it been more obvious than my skin. It's still subtle, but I notice the sun...

Redeye Returns

Posted on February 16, 2010
Okay, so where was I...oh, yeah. Winter Olympics Audra and I are going to the Vancouver Olympics. We're leaving Saturday the 20th and staying for a week. We've got tickets to men's curling on Monday and 4-man bobsled on Friday....

Ojo Rojo's National Championship Breakdown

Posted on January 07, 2010
Here we are again four years later. How sweet it is to be a Longhorn fan right now. So many storylines in this one. Not the least are the similarities to the 2005 campaign. Our opponent is ranked #1 and...

Happy New Year

Posted on January 01, 2010
On the eve of the end of the 2009 college football season I have to weigh in on several topics. First - Mike Leach. Let's just get something straight right way. A player, albeit the son of a former NFL...

Redeye Consumer Reports

Posted on December 22, 2009
This is the text of an actual message I sent to an online seller in response to the question, "Did you receive your order?" "No. Velocity Express totally sucks. Someone's Christmas is ruined because of their ineptitude. LAST ORDER EVER....

The Heisman, Gameday and the 'Horns

Posted on December 13, 2009
So Mark Ingram won the Heisman. I'm a bit disappointed that Colt didn't win it, but not surprised. The regional aspect of the voting has really eroded the credibility of the award, in my opinion. Now it's just like any...

Ojo Rojo's Brilliance, and Other Lies

Posted on December 04, 2009
I'm hugely in favor of a college football playoff. The main reason isn't because I hate the current system so much. Don't get me wrong, the current system is ridiculous - voters, polls, computer rankings, blah, blah, blah. Almost every...

A Sooner is a Cheater

Posted on October 16, 2009
So it's that time of year again when I have to update all my shots because of the close physical proximity I'm going to be in to people who regularly have sex with farm animals and have poor hygiene. That's...

Redeye Repulsive

Posted on September 22, 2009
This is the grossest story I've ever told here. Sunday afternoon I was walking around in my front yard when I saw a pile of dogshit. This is nothing new or remarkable; assholes are always letting their mutts shit in...

2009 Texas Longhorns Football Preview

Posted on September 03, 2009
One play. One play prevented us from playing in the Big XII Championship Game and the BCS National Championship last year. We were that close. Don't get me wrong - I'm not dissatisfied with the season. 11-1 and Fiesta Bowl...

Redeye Rant

Posted on August 13, 2009
We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you this Redeye Rant. Generalist Ignorance I'm going to coin a new phrase. The phrase is "generalist ignorance." Generalist ignorance occurs when someone knows nothing, or very little, of a subject yet...

Ojo Rojo is Married Part II: Ojo Gets Engaged

Posted on August 02, 2009
Probably the most common advice that comes to anyone considering whether to pop the question is "When you know, you know." That's either brilliant or really unhelpful. For me, there was no "moment" when I just knew. When I look...

Ojo Rojo is Married Part I: Ojo Meets His Future Wife

Posted on July 23, 2009
I regret that I did not make this blog more a part of the goings-on of the wedding, especially since the blog itself played a rather large role in getting me together with my now wife. (Wife...wife...how long does it...

Ojo's Bachelor Party

Posted on June 30, 2009
***I started writing a bunch of posts and left them in draft status either because I was too distracted to make them right or because I was too busy to finish them. I'm going to touch a few of them...

I Finally Had My Abraham Lincoln Dream

Posted on March 27, 2009
Isn't it written somewhere that every real American has to have an Abraham Lincoln dream before they die? Well, last night I had mine. I normally think that people talking about their dreams is hokey drivel and people always want...

The Decline of American Business and Culture - and - The Extended List of Ojo's Million-Dollar Ideas

Posted on March 20, 2009
These two things actually happened: I recently bought a mountain bike off of Craigslist. It's a 2002 Trek 8000, which is a really, really good bike. It retailed for $1,100 brand new. The owner listed it for $475. When I...

Living in the World

Posted on March 14, 2009
I don't post about my job very often; that's by design. I also don't post about my relationship with my future wife very much either. Both for a lot of the same reasons. Probably the biggest is that it could...

It's a Fucked Year

No Marissa Miller in this year's SISE.

The Garage Sale Story

Posted on February 09, 2009
Sometime before Christmas, Audra and I decided to have a garage sale. There were a few reasons. One, the pain from our move over a year and a half ago was still fresh in my mind. I can't tell you...

The Ill-Advised Social Filterless Post

Posted on February 06, 2009
I like crass humor, what can I say? I recently thought that it would be really funny in a breakup letter to an ex-girlfriend to say, "So long, and thanks for all the pussy." (The basis of the quote is...

Redeye Update: 2/2/2009

Posted on February 03, 2009
Some people are going to take this as a sexist comment, but it's really not: I'm sorry, but Pat Summit is just about the most unattractive person I have ever seen. (The first is probably this female child I saw...

And at the End There is an Iron Fist

Posted on January 16, 2009
One thing that I really enjoy is taking the mysteries out of life. Reducing unknowns. Learning. See, ignorance leads to fear and fear leads to unhappiness. So the more you know, the happier you can be. Plus, knowledge is empowering....
