Over the last few days, I've grown tired of seeing comments like this float up like the fecal matter they are, over and over again, by people desperately looking for a scapegoat to hang the blame on. "That was a BS post, US help was so slow, so slow to act compaired to the actions that where taken for the victums of the tsunami over sea's. " HELLO! Aid is coming, and has been arriving as much as is possible for an impossible situation. But there's not a rescue or aid worker in the world...
There's a scene I like in Rushmore. The kid playing Max has just met Bill Murray's character, and they're siiting, facing forward. Max turns to Bill with this completely out of place question, and says "You were in Vietnam?" "Yeah" "Were you in the shit?" Bill Murray turns his head, with that deadpan look that says I hate myself and the entire world, then faces forward and says "Yeah, I was in the shit." Guess where I'm going......maybe. I talked to my parents on the phone today, and a cou...
"All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation." -Samuel Gompers, founder of the AFL- Welcome to another long weekend. You sit there at home, and completely fail to remember the true meaning of this holiday, those who.....oh wait, this holiday's for you.

Hadn't blogged in a few, just don't feel up to it lately. Usually the holiday season's one my favorite times of year. But this year it just doesn't feel right. Been tired, cranky, depressed, angry. Bleh. Got my lights up, and brought a tree home, but it's been three days, and I still haven't finished decorating it, just kind of picked at it. Just don't feel like it. Hell, I've still got a few things out from halloween. I'll keep watching, but I may not write much for a little while, just w...
Looked outside tonight? No? Go fast!!!! Look up!! The moon is the most amazing shade of red from the eclipse we're having, RIGHT NOW!!!! Don't miss it, there's not another one that can be seen from the states for 3 years. It's a great glowing orange red globule floating in the sky. The color comes from the light leaking around the edges of the earth at a tangent to the atmosphere's (where the sunsets and sunrises are happening. It just peaked maybe 9:30/9:35ish central time, so if you look...
Enter my rant. This is not a nice article. This is not a funny, cute article about zombie deer, or squirrels with enormous nuts. This is an down and out, set your flamethrower to kill, kiss my ass 'til my hat falls off rant. Be warned. I am weary, weary of soldiers being portrayed in the media as the poor pathetic victims of an oppresive, money grubbing, oil loving government, headed by a pyschopathic commander in chief, hell bent on a religious war of destruction. I am also sick to dea...
This is a quick blog in remembrance of 9/11. Tommorow is the third year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Regardless of how you feel about the politics that followed, our society, our world was changed, with the murders of thousands of people in a short space of time. As a soldier, I have been affected personally by the results that followed, and I think that there are very few in this country, that if they do not know someone who was personally affect...
