A Week From Finals and I’m Not too Stressed Out.
Apr 29th
Finals are coming up next week, I cant wait! I’m seriously feeling great about it, nothings freaking me out, sure accounting is a pain in the ass for me, but the rest is just going great.
I’ve had tons and tons of stuff to do including a nice video project that went horribly from time to time but I’m managing to tie together as I type this. (Thank god for Fireworks and Sony Vegas)
The vid is part of my business and professional speaking class… which I really have enjoyed. I called myself an “ass” on day two and got some stares and I cant help but mention that…. But at this point in the semester I’m around allot of great people who keep me entertained and a professor who jumps from one point to another and keeps me from being bored. Last week we went from a news article to where she used to live to “Cedar Point Amusement Park, The Roller Coaster Capital of the World!” in less than 2 minutes, WHILE taking a test. Mr. A.D.D. here couldn’t have enjoyed it more.
I’ll be taking summer courses and things will be hectic for quite some time. I guess the Luis that posted half a dozen times in a single session is dead for now. College and my side projects are ruining not only my blog but my life… I’m oh so boring.

Whataburger TOTALLY Kicks Ass!
Feb 25th
Take a trip outside of the WONDERFUL state of Texas and you’ll notice a key difference, the lack of Whataburger! Yes I know Whataburger is in 11 states but it is truly around every corner down here in Texas.
Whataburger has been serving up great burgers since 1950 (way before I was born), but ever since I’ve been alive I’ve had a Whataburger location a tasty 5 minutes from me. In fact, I’m sure it’s partially the reason why I’m constantly dieting to keep my weight steady. Tasty burgers are so damn tempting!
I constantly work Whataburger jokes into random-ass conversations –having a dry sense of humor helps folks understand them. Hell, I just can’t help but be a dork sometimes.
I’m sure you are wondering if this rant will have a point by now… the answer is NO, it will NOT. But ok, here I go again.
Whataburger in the Rio Grande Valley is particularly good. Every single restaurant is always in tiptop shape; totally clean and of course, welcoming. Hell, ever visit Whataburger on E. Jackson in McAllen? You’ll get a “Welcome to Whataburger!” within the first 2 seconds of your visit. Oh yeah, touching on the cleanliness; Whataburger locations in The Valley are often featured in Action4 News’ Food 4 Thought segment as a “Top Performer”.
I could go on and on with this rant but I’ll end it with two lists and some facts.
Favorite Whataburger locations in the Rio Grande Valley:
1419 S 10th St – McAllen
1412 E Jackson Ave – McAllen
7101 N 10th St – McAllen
201 E Griffin Pkwy – Mission
450 Highway 83 – La Joya
613 Ed Carey Dr. – Harlingen
Random Luis Loves Whataburger weirdness:
Luis wrote a song about Whataburger, the title: “Whataburger I love you” (It was a joke at the time)
Luis orders a Whataburger (#1) with only mustard and pickles, occasional cheese, ALWAYS with toasted buns, an occasional cup of gravy.
Luis also is quite fond of their chicken strips (#6) –total hotness.
Facts, junk, and stuff:
King of the Hill sometimes features Whataburger in episodes.
Sales total more than $1 billion annually
Whataburger’s breakfast menu is served from 11:00 p.m. through 11:00 AM 7 days a week. (Instead of the typical few hours at other places)
Their slogan is “Just like you like it.”
You can visit their site at www.whataburger.com
For the geek in you, the data center that hosts its sites and information is located in Austin.

Well, I made it. I’m 95% better and can get back to being a bum. 
I’ve also come out of it with a few projects which will let me play with a few new things, so… woot! [yes, I realize that was childish]
But yeah, 2 sites with matching blogs, digging a bit deeper into Google Checkout APIs and Google Base crap… I’ll also be playing with AdWords, something I personally never cared about until now.
Also on the list, 3 books.. urm novels. Gary Jennings – Aztec, Mary Higgins Clark – While My Pretty One Sleeps, and Sidney Sheldon – Rage of Angels.
Yep, thats about it.
