And I haven’t posted in awhile (*cough*eatshitcole*cough*)

News? I work at Radio Shack now. Oh nos! Come buy cell phones from me.

Ok, so it’s been a while since ANYONE has posted here (*cough*fuckunoah*cough*) and I don’t have really anything coherent to say, so I’m just going to brain dump a couple things I”ve had on my mind lately.

• Moving to Iowa City was fun. Moving away from every resource I used to depend on in times of trouble, slightly less so. My jeep needs like 65468465167 things done and I have no where and few tools to get them done.
• I walked by the Fieldhouse where Obama gave his speech yesterday. I guy revved up his bike as he drove by, and I think it might have been the most intelligent noise made outside that building all day long.
• Is it sad that while I have hundreds of dollars of comics and manga, Probably tens of thousands in video games, and god knows how much in DVD’s, I’m spending most of my time on the Internet?
• Some of the best things happen from the worst decisions.
• It was probably a bad idea for me to try to continue my education and attend college. Not only is my ADD running rampant, Playboy rated Iowa one of their top ten sexiest campuses in the US, and it shows. Try concentrating when your teacher (who is your age, the opposite sex and attractive) is showing excess skin. I’m so screwed.
• There must be a position out there somewhere for a person who keeps up with the latest in the world of all that is geek. and when I find the guy filling that position, I”m replacing him.
• It’s hard to achieve your dreams when you have zero motivation. It gets harder by a power of infinity when your dreams are to be rich, successful and help solve the worlds problems.
• I’m sick of hearing that I have potential. Potential for what? No one ever explains that. Maybe I don’t want to know. I might be happier not knowing that I have the potential to become the next Hitler.
• I believe that everyone is a little crazy. Men are crazy? Women are crazy? How about, instead, if we agree that everyone is a little crazy, and leave it at that? I personally think that if I wasn’t a little crazy, I”d be in a nuthouse by now. Some of the crap that’s happened to me has been so bizarre and stressful that if I didn’t laugh at it, I’d cry. If that makes me crazy, so be it.
• One of these days, Gladys, one of these days I’ll get off my ass and go make a million dollars. Till then, how bout you go get me a beer?
• You know who I admire? Foamy the Squirrel. Know why? He’s opinionated. I can be so introverted and proper sometimes that I can’t even work up a judgment on how the beer is at a party. That little sucker has opinions about everything, and he’s freaking violent about expressing them. Wish I had some of that backbone.
• I’m too much of  a packrat. Granted, I was away from home for 4 years, but still owning clothes that I wore in High School? Even I’m ashamed of that, and I’m male for crying out loud.
• Speaking of which, how fashionable can I get without looking gay? I’m suspicious of the stuff I see in GQ (screaming homosexual) and Maxim (stuck up frat boy). This leaves Playboy or just wear black all the time. Though really, I think I could get used to black.
• If you think that you want to join the Army, Don’t. If you really think that you really want to be in the army, I highly suggest the Reserves. It’s perfect for me; I get a taste of the military life that I lived for years and sometimes miss, and yet I don’t have another person telling me that I need to clean up my room and making me workout for an hour a day. Perfect.

Ok enough out of me. Thoughts, Ideas, Questions?

Yeah, so I missed Friday.

Videos!

Well I had a moment for a post, no videos, nothing really too exciting.

Oh look at the cute rat thing…

Quick post today, just some interesting things.

Been awhile since I posted shit here eh?

So, as you know I’m serving our country in the Army.  And as a general rule, I try to avoid commenting on the social and political climate of our country, because I represent the Army when I do so, and that’s pretty much impossible for one man to do. But this… this has just driven me nuts. I don’t have cable in my room to watch the news, so I first heard about the “Tea Party” tax protests here.  Honestly? Speaking for myself only, I’m glad to see that people are actually exercising their voices in public for a change and letting the government know that they arn’t happy.  After how eerie it was not having any rallies or protests (for the most part) against Bush while he was in office, I was kind of worried that America had lost part of it’s roots and was just gonna let anything happen. But then I got to the following paragraph near the end of that article:

‘My piggy bank’
Other protesters also took direct aim at Obama. One sign in the crowd in Madison, Wis., compared him to the anti-Christ. At a rally in Montgomery, Ala., where Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” blared from loudspeakers, Jim Adams of Selma carried a sign that showed the president with Hitler-style hair and mustache and said, “Sieg Heil Herr Obama.”

Now that right there… again, speaking only for myself, I fought for people who are villinizing the president? Seriously? There MUST be a more constructive thought in the head of Mr. Adams of Selma than that.  I honestly feel bad for our president.  I mean, if you step back and look at the situation he stepped into, he’s got an uphill battle all the way around.  The world doesn’t like us, we’re in an economy slump, and we’ve got the biggest defecit in the history of our country.  I’m not even going to touch the battles we’re facing in the middle east right now, partly because I really can’t and partly because it’s all already been said.  And to top all that off, he’s the first non-Caucasian to hold the presidency, promising change.

Now, that’s not to say that I don’t have issues with the way things are currently.  I’m not really impressed with the bank bailout plan, but that’s got nothing to do with my feelings twords our president.  He’s just one man, trying to keep america the leader of the free world.  He’s just trying to pick the best options that are placed before him by the people who work for him.  I’m kind of scared that people are going to blame how well the country did on his skin color (which is racist as all hell) and we’ll be stuck with old white guys in the Oval Office forever.

So do the country, hell, the world a favor: Please, stick to constructive criticism when complaining to your government representatives.  I promise you, it’s gonna get more things changed than calling him or her a nazi.

So I haven’t really jumped the religion bandwagon yet, and a lot of people around me are pissy about it….ok mainly my mother.

According to her, I’m not going in the rapture. So, I present you with a few outlooks on the religion.

Christianity-

The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree… yeah, makes perfect sense.

And, the /b/ible.

In all reality, I’m not going to KNOCK the religion, but I’m not going to LIVE by it either. I’m just living my life to the fullest, I’ll deal with this crap later.

Happy New Years people. I’m officially back from the giant sand box known as Iraq. However, I still seem to be lacking a few things I thought I would just automatically recieve when I got back. Such as a life. Being without any gaming consoles, movies and even basic transportation, I’m pretty much stuck in my room, on the internet. But thank GOD for Cable Broadband. No one who hasn’t been deployed can know the pain of having an internet uplink that loads an average webpage in, oh I don’t know, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Another thing I missed out on: regular health care. So now I’m getting all kinds of poked, prodded, blood-drained and possibly drilled to ensure that I’m in good health. It’s not fun… on the flip side, however, I’ve not had a head cold since I joined the millitary. Either there’s something that’s actually good for me in the food here, or I’m really blessed. Well, probably the second one, considering I came home in one piece with no missing parts.

I’ll stop rambling now, but I’ve got an idea of my next post: reasons not to join the army. It’s probably gonna be an ongoing thing, as there are so many mechanisims in the organization that don’t work right that I can forget them untill the shortcoming smacks me in the face again.  But to kick it all off, don’t join the army reason 1: because then you don’t have to decide if you want to stay in the army.
