So I wish I could learn to use all the features of this blog better so I can track how many people view this, beacause it seems like nobody reads it and I am debating on stopping.....hmmmmm. They need like a blog tutorial session. I think I could make it a lot cooler if I could add some jams, some polls, some links maybe a video blog kind of like Kige Ramsey, my video blog idol.
Anyway, some of you need to start commenting because from what I hear, The Daily Rambler might become extinct.
So nothing to exciting went on yesterday. Normal routine.
-Work
-Spin
-Cooked Dinner
-Watched TV
Quality TV that was watched -- Gangland (bad ass), The Bachelor Season Finale (Funny) and The City -- A must watch on Monday, all shows mentioned above are quality forms of entertainment and probably a waste of time but they fufill me and thats all that matters, and if you make fun of me I will make fun of you right back. Except on MY blog.
Quality Television that I am missing tonight because I have little league practice after spin.
-Biggest Loser
-Homeland Security
-American Idol (actually dont really watch it, but provides for a commercial filler.)
Now some might say, that I waste a significant amount of time watching tv, but the facts are maybe 2 hours max a day. Which I don't think is too bad all things considered. Sure, I should probably read a book instead but hey, tv is a virtual book.
Which brings me to the next topic of conversation. I think I will be moving from the wonderful Memphis within 18 months. Things are well in Memphis, I have fun, enjoy my job and friends here. But like Barack Obama says, It's time for a change.
Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston are looking like my landing pads.
Cashville
Clean city, fun, vibrant, young. Smallest one of all the ones mentioned but its the Hollywood of the south people. Relatively close to Oxford, hilly terrain, you have a river there and it gets 4 seasons there. Downside would be the lack of Texmex, (SATCO is the only viable option) and no NBA, MLB team. Plenty of concerts and NFL and NHL are there. Not a hub for any airport, so chances are you will connect anywhere you go, but Southwest does fly there. Casinos aren't to far, and skiing is a days drive away. Plus it's in SEC country.
Odds of me moving there 30%
Hotlanta
Big city, lots of traffic, pollution, crowdedness. All things I enjoy. It has every major sports league, plenty to do. Buckhead provides plenty of bars and the young professional crowd an area to mingle. Plenty of growth as Coke, CNN, Weather Channel, Home Depot, Delta, Air Tran and other major companies are there. Hartsfield -Jackson is one of the the largest cluster f's of an airport in the US, and you can fly direct anywhere in the world pretty much, or close to it. Proximity to other southern towns/cities is good. SEC country. Downfall, texmex. Good overall culinary scene though.
Odds of me moving there 20%
Dallas
Major city in Texas, home to plenty of businesses. Uptown/McKinney area is good for the twenty somethings. Every major sport is covered. 2 airports, Americas team. Major Bowl Game, good mix of SEC & Big XII people. Drive to Oxford in a day. Clean areas, modern. Big highways, buildings, lots of traffic no matter what time of day and great food. Lake LBJ, hill country and golf all not far from the city center.
Odds of moving there 10%
Houston
Born and raised there. Know it well. Have plenty of friends from various colleges that are there. Home to many fortune 500 companies. Excellent Texmex, lunchbreak drive away from the beach. 2 airports. I-10 is 24 lanes (including feeders and HOV), major sports. House of blues. Good concerts. Downtown that is being revitalized, light rail that just got put in effect. Largest Medical center in the world. Always stuff to do. Casinos are less than 2 hours away. Things that would deter me are the trendy t-shirts, gel heads, douchebags, cars with giant muflers, euro lights, sideways hats, the lack of SEC people and the humidity.
Odds of moving there 40%
Now alot can change between now and then, but if I were to move today, I would say Houston, here I come. But a lot is dependent on work. We will see what happens. I will open the floor for discussion.

I think you should rename this blog the I Heart TexMex. It's mentioned in almost every blog entry, maybe all of them.
As far as living situations go if you must move from Memphrica, A-town or Music City USA. I'd give A-town the lead. All the major sports teams plus it's in a central location for all of OM athletics.
