Naw...I'm not jelly at all. It's all you, Black.
thats my boy!
tell me some interesting laker facts so I can drop em on sourcandy and she be all like u smart!
I think just saying the Lakers are your Team B would pique her interest...
Or, if she is old enough...you can say, "Man, that Chick Hearn! He once missed out on calling a game in Las Vegas to announce a college game in Fayetteville, AR and then proceeded to never miss another game for 36 years!" That'll probably get her to bite the bottom lip...for sure.

Austin is a metastasized California. To use a west coast analogy, great set, ty cast and crew.
Texas has some fun parts (Austin for sure), and Dallas is alright...not crazy about the rest, tbh.
Just not a fan of a state where half its residents are inuslin-dependent by their 30's.

You've clearly not spent much time in California.
Put it to you this way. When I was an exchange student to Germany, and I went out to a bar, once word got out about where I was from I got free beer the rest of the night. None of the other American exchange students got such treatment. In fact the only other person who had drinks bought for him was the Aussie, and then only when he brought his boomerang (yes he carried it almost everywhere).
The point is: even foreigners recognize.
The funny thing is Texas BEGGED America to take us in ASAP, but they refused because they did not want to get caught up in the drama. Andrew Jackson threw his old friend Houston a bone on his way out.
Hawaii was its own sovereign kingdom,and Utah was an actual state for a short period as well, Texas is the one every realizes as independent when asked though.
I cant speak for any other Texan, but I can speak for my family as to why Im so proud.

PONTON, ANDREW (1804–1850). Andrew Ponton, pioneer farmer, stockman, politician, and judge, was born in 1804 in Nelson, Amherst County, Virginia, one of four children of William and Isabell (Moreland) Ponton. With his father and brother-in-law, James Blair Patrick, he arrived in Texas on December 17, 1829. He received his land le on June 18, 1832, and was married on July 8, 1841, to Mary H. Berry in Gonzales County, Republic of Texas. Of the couple's four sons, Andrew S. was killed in the battle of Atlanta, and Thomas Jefferson was an attorney in Gonzales County.
Ponton was the last alcalde of Gonzales, elected to that position in 1835. In May 1835 he was a member of the Gonzales Committee of Safety (see COMMITTEES OF SAFETY AND CORRESPONDENCE). In September 1835, when Domingo de Ugartechea demanded that the Gonzales "come and take it" cannon be surrendered to Mexican soldiers or that Ponton be brought to San Antonio as a hostage, Ponton put off the Mexicans with excuses; he sent calls for help to the settlements and was a defender in the battle of Gonzales on October 2, 1835 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gonzales). On February 23, 1836, William B. Travis sent Ponton an appeal asking for men and provisions for the relief of the Alamo, and men from Gonzales answered his request.
Ponton was the first judge of the Municipality of Gonzales and a member from Gonzales County of the Second Congress of the republic in 1837–38. He was the first chief justice of Lavaca County, elected on July 13, 1846. Ponton was a Mason. He died on July 4, 1850, and is buried in the Old Gonzales Masonic Cemetery, where the Texas Centennial Commission erected a marker on his grave in 1936.

Andrew Ponton was my great, great, great grandfather and I am proud of my family history. To know that my family was an integral part of keeping the mexican army at bay at that point in time...... Its crazy to think about...
The Alamo represents and resonates alot more to me than most people who visit it.... It's actually part of my heritage, and thats special to me. I have never, and will never, put up with someone badmothing my States legacy.
If it wasnt for the battle of the Alamo, alot of you would be Mexican citizens right now. It would do you well to remember that .

Much much much respect to your family heritage. That's awesome. A big part of it though was that Santa Ana turned into a humongous bag and pissed off many Mexicans who in returned helped Anglo Texans get the ball rolling. Most Anglo Texans were cool with just being a Mexican state but having a respectable voice in Mexico's delegation.
