A former co-worker and currently my best friend in the whole-wide-world by the name of Jonathan, told me that X-Box was looking for volunteers to test their new X-Box Live Gold idea.  From what I recall, I had an original X-Box and figured that there was no chance in hell I would be selected; so I threw my name in the hat.  To make a long story as long as my intro, I was SELECTED!  Once they gave me the good news, they told me to choose a Gamer Tag.  Since Houston had lost the Oilers and the name for the new team seemed like a good idea, I picked the name "Texan".  In November of 2015, I was laid-off during the Oil and Gas dip and had to go all of the way to the outskirts of Memphis, TN to find my next employer.  From crowded freeways, jogging trails and killings every night I ended up in a town of approximately 2,000 people that has no freeways (only highways), no joggers and killings are VERY rare.
