To The Reader,

     If things went the way they were supposed to, you are viewing an American flag and a patriotic American Youtube video playlist.  You might be wondering if I am a patriotic American.  Yes, I am.  In fact, I am a veteran of the US Army and the Texas National Guard.  I got out with an honorable discharge, a Specialist rank, and a five rows of ribbons, if that means anything to you.  I thank Uncle Sam for taking me to South Korea and to Iraq on his tab.  I love my country, warts, dimples, and all.

     I was born and bred in Texas but you can crawl on back to the hole you slithered from if you think I'm a good ole Southern boy.  You can keep your redneck rebel Confederate flag at your house, not mine.  My dad was born here and mom in Mexico.  You can say I am a proud American with deep roots in both Mexico and Texas.  I have family in Mexico and America, but most of us live in Texas.  This should come as little surprise since Mexico spanned Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, part of Wyoming, and part of Colorado before the end of the Mexican-American war.  Despite my roots, I am proud to be American, especially with the current state of Mexican affairs.

     I'll write more later, when I feel like posting something to Blogger.com.  If you want to study me, check out what's left of my music choice on Myspace at lxdgr8, my boards on Pinterest  at alexmartinezjr, or my page on Facebook, also under lxdgr8.  Anyway, may the God of the Jews and Christians save and bless you.

Quite sincerely,

Alex

Yeah!!! I have a job!!!

In the Judeo-Christian Bible, there is an account of a good, faithful man who struggled through loss and pain. His name was Job. He lost his children, his possessions, even his health. After much time, which probably seemed eternal, Job was vindicated and blessed beyond his past state.

I feel I am like Job in that when I returned from Iraq in August 2010, I had no job. I was depressed and downhearted, but not without a sliver of hope. My family and friends helped me and prayed for me to have a job, again. Finally, after almost six whole months, God has blessed me with a job. I am happy as Job was at the end of his story! Thank you Jesus!!! Halleluiah!!

SEPTEMBER HAS ARRIVED

I missed the run in Sherman; but, at least, Omar did and he placed 8th in his age category with a time of approximately 28 minutes for the 5K. Yeah.

I want to run in San Antonio's Rock and Roll Marathon. Maybe, with lots of training, I'll be shirtless; but, only if I look studly.

Besides running a lot, I'll have to focus on arms, chest, abs, back, and diet. Waaaahh. I like eating delicious food like pizza, burgers, and tacos.

This photo was taken in Baghdad, Iraq. This was the first 5K I ran there on Camp Cropper and I placed 2nd with a 19 minute time. I've only beat that time once and that was my goal for the last run there in Cropper. I like achieving my goals. It gives me the warm fuzzies.
