August 23, Copperas Cove, Texas. Confessions of a Crosstitch junkie. Yes, I admit it, I can take it no more. The whole world must know, that I am a man. And..... I crosstitch GASP!!!!!!! I love it. I know needlepoint, crossstitch, daisy chain, satin stitch, the works. I've been addicted now for over two years, and it's kept me sane on many a night of cq or staff duty (various guard duties.) Bizarre, but true. Yet I am still a man. My wrists are no limper than the next guy. When I pick u...

A few more pics, no asshats.....unless you count me of course...... Here's me. Link Here's me in a tux. Link Here's me and a badass 73 Mustang. Link Here's the badass mustang by itself.....man, I love that car. Link Here's me singing to a horse in Tahoe. Link Here's not me singing to a horse in Tahoe, but my cat, possessed by the dark side. Link Any questions? P.S. Special thanks to Nancy Reagan and her it worked for the fascists style antidrug campaign as inspir...

Was just watching this Link and this, Link and thought of SSG Geezer, how could I not....LMAO, enjoy......

At the wednesday night edition of the Republican Convention, there was a small surprise,(at least to me) a speech by democrat senator Zell Miller. While at least claiming to still be very much a democrat, as far as the war in Iraq and John Kerry's voting record were concerned, he seemed very republican, or at least anti-Kerry. Cool. This however is incidental and, and if it turns into another Kerry vs. Bush debate, by all that is holy I swear I'll pull the article. The indirect connection ...

Went to work and we all did PT, Did pushups til we all got nosebleeds, And the thing that will suck, (cause we're shit out of luck) is we'll soon have to get up at three. I know that I am just depressed, 'cause its six days to original ETS, and I love the stop loss, can't talk back to the boss, or I could find myself under arrest. (well pushups or an article 15 anyway) Yes, 15 more years and I could retire, Climb to E-8 or maybe even higher, I think I could be, a decent 2nd...

Ah hah!!!! yes I have a minivan.....(hangs head in shame.) I bartered it for a beat up piano I had so I could have something to drive while I do the body work on my mustang. So it has 200,000 miles on it (the van, not the mustang), there's nothing functionally wrong with it except it eventually needs another engine (not as bad as it sounds, I can pick up something decent here at the junkyard for about $300.) Aesthetically speaking, it could use work.....like replacing the dinged up hood,...

Here's one for all of you junkies, Who like old movies with big names and monkeys, Car chases and fights, And Dom Deloise in tights, Plus bimbos who're picked up as flunkies. Ole Clint did not fight in this flick, And Sally Fields did not play the chick, Farrah Fawcett was cool, Jamie Farr played the fool, And Roger Moore as always was slick. But I was most surprised by the man, A racer that came from "Japan", His car was well scorned, (Though he could watch porn) My God!!!...

I've finally had enough. I'm breaking one of my cardinal rules for the army, and for the second time in over 5 years, I'm going to sick call tommorow. I toughed it out for 3 days now, but I'm thinking maybe plantar fascitis, maybe stress fracture. I'm thinking about fetching a hacksaw every time I wear my combat boots for more than a couple of hours. This unit is pretty good about getting sick or injured, so I don't have to face the usual stigma against getting sick in the army. Most place...

This is a post that many won't understand, it is different, but it is something near and dear to my heart. This is possibly one of the single most important parts of army life outside of pointing guns at people and that whole minor protecting the freedom of the nation thing. It's about my boots. Boots are contraversial in the army. Basic issue? Jump boots? Tanker boots? Corframs? Desert? Cold weather, intermediate cold weather? Deserts? Jungle boots? If jungle boots, green or black? I say ...

Couldn't run today, Biked two hours in the rain and, Armadillo bits.

I don't know what else to say, so..... Link

Hello, my name is ben, and I have a problem..........I'm a cook. (no, not for the army, I'm a linguist, silly........or a silly linguist.......) I got started eight years back, after my wife and I got hitched, and were slowly losing weight on a regular diet of mac and cheese, and the occasional burnt pork steaks. After a little while of this, my sister got me Cooking for Dummies as a gag. Muhahaha!!!! I shall take this seriously, thunk I, and the joke was on her! Eight years later, I'm p...

Here's one of the funniest and strangest links I think I have ever found whilst google whacking. I was minding my own business, simply looking for pictures of psychotic killer squirrells for a blog idea, when I ran across this....squirrel fishing.....weird......but funny! Link
