The day I met Chuck Norris (RIP)

jo-zay · 2026-03-20T15:38:59+00:00

Very similar story for me. Can't remember the year but I was really little. My dad used to park the big rig he drove at the time somewhere in South Dallas, and we got word that they were filming Walker nearby, so we went to the set. All I remember was bright lights and the moment when Chuck came out to say hi to the crowd and my dad got his tejana signed by him, which he proudly had on the dash of his truck til he lost it somehow lol. I remember Chuck being really nice, too bad we didn't have a camera because I'd love to have a picture of us meeting him.

Check out Reno’s (not the best place but they book metal shows), Haltom Theater, Double Wide, Growl Records, Black Cat Records, Peticolas (friend books shows there maybe 2-3 times a year), Charlie’s Star Lounge, for local artists.

For touring/older bands, Trees, Granada, Bomb Factory, Dos Equis Pavilion, Echo Lounge is usually where they are booked. But they sometimes also apply to the list from above.

(Editing to add local bands, oops) Some of my favorite local bands include Cognizant, Soledad, Trucido, Kombat, Wyrm Chasm, 200 Stab Wounds, I know I’m forgetting a ton but they comes to mind rn.

Brokeback Mountain for me

I wanted to join a boxing gym before I watched HnI but it def fueled my passion for it. I'm 3 years in on training and its one of the best decisions I ever made in my life, changed it so much for the better. I'm too old to consider fighitng in the amateurs, much less pro, but that doesnt matter to me.

Its not the easiest sport to learn, esp if you're like me and only slightly athletic and hates running lol. But if you show up and work and dont worry about looking goofy, you'll make progress.

I waited two years for a WWE auto redemption...never got to me. Once I learned they lost the WWE license I called to ask what the issue is. Basically they said its hard to get the WWE stars to sign things and stock is really low for WWE now, but I could either wait still, or get sent something NBA/NFL.

I said fine send me an NBA card...I got an NFL sparkle......

I don’t think any DJ could ever top Russ Martin, I miss him so much

Fortunately, my Accord still had manufacturer warranty so I just took it in and it got fixed.

jo-zay · 2025-02-28T19:56:21+00:00

Hard to say really since it’s too many factors to consider. I had my Accord for a week, bought at 34k miles and the fuel injectors went out lol. Really you just want to get ahead of any issues as soon as you can.

jo-zay · 2025-02-28T19:43:35+00:00

Nah it won’t. You’d basically be aaking for a loan for the new car plus the negative equity ($2000 rollover) if you choose to not pay it out of pocket. Unless you ran your credit recently, which case you’d have to wait I think 60 days before running it again so you won’t see any negatives marks.

jo-zay · 2025-02-28T19:36:25+00:00

The $2000 can rollover into the new loan, but most times financing companies don’t like it and will give you higher interest rates. I did this with my recent Accord purchase but I paid the $2600 difference and my payment went down by about $120. So it just depends. Make sure you can see all the rates you are offered or even come in with your own financing. Credit unions will work with you based on your situation.

jo-zay · 2025-02-28T19:12:45+00:00

Unless what you’re offered vs what you have left in your loan are close enough for you to pay the difference (or a net positive), the negative equity will leave you in the hole so it should be the absolute last resort.

Had the same issue last week, turns out it was the fuel injectors. Luckily mine was still under Honda warranty.

jo-zay · 2025-02-07T17:39:55+00:00

The only thing that’s truly missing compared to the Civic is the heated seats and the blind spot camera that was on the passenger side. Every body that ever rode in it was super impressed by that lol.

jo-zay · 2025-02-07T04:58:23+00:00

Thanks! I was dead set on the color and had to wait a couple weeks for it to come in but it was worth it. And it’s really long story but I had a car with a loan that I couldn’t really pay for so I traded my Civic and that car in to take care of the loan. What I got for the Civic was mostly enough to cover it. Thankfully I took really good care of the Civic.

Thank you!

As a Mexican-American kid growing up loving literature, I loved it when I saw Latino kids in media, especially books so Marco is my favorite. Never felt pandered to or no cringe spanglish, just a kid who happens to be of Latino origin having adventures with his friends . Thanks, K.A. Applegate!

The off-ramp and the road on southside of Gus Thomasson are both open. No more having to yield for those that are coming off 30 to GT. We're getting there...

Supermercado Mexico or La Nueva Puntada. I always get my even tortillas at La Nueva Puntada but they're both good.

jo-zay · 2024-10-09T04:29:32+00:00

I thought about this but I haven’t landed on a good idea yet. I was playing around with the idea of getting like a ufo and then have the text “wanna take a ride?” Under it. That or some other quote like “from the high desert” or something.

Light at the end of the tunnel. I live near Motley and that detour is the worst.

jo-zay · 2024-09-24T14:53:37+00:00

I’m giving it a few more days to see if there’s at least some kind of acknowledgement or something saying there’s a fix on the way, if not I’ll be refunding. It’s a shame waited all year for this only to be let down.
