Random Saturday

I've waited for two long years to finally leave this place...
And now that it's upon me I've realized that I've taken a liking to it here. I've acquired a wealth of friends that I'll soon be leaving, never to see most of them again. And I think that makes me hate this state all the more. However now it's not because I have to be here, it's because I can't stay.


I can admit to my follies. And I've recently discovered another. For a very long time I ranted about how Box-Briefs were stupid and how it was a horrible idea and blah blah this and blah blah that. Well friends, I type these words with a heavy heart, and a comfortable unit. Boxer briefs are all right by me. It all happened a couple weeks ago, I wasn't paying attention and I bought both socks that were too small and a five-pack of BB's that I thought were just boxers. Well, I was wrong about them being boxers, but I'm okay with that.

Word you your sandwich.

Mad Mondays

For todays MM I'm gonna talk about losers. Not losers because they're uncool. Losers because they don't try. Specifically this is really going to be about Amtgard. I HATE it when I come up against somebody and they say "Oh crap, it's Arthur". Don't get me wrong, I love what it does for my self esteem. But Jesus Fucking Christ (Wouldn't Jesus fucking Christ be insest?) I makes me mad. It's not that they're saying it, it's why they're saying it. I can understand if I'm running a flank and they say it, as they would if anybody else were running the flank. (Oh god, oh god, Santa is on our flank and he's crushing us with candy canes) But these bums are saying it with defeat on their mind. They're saying it as they're accepting the loss. How can you ever win if every time you come against a foe you prepare to be beaten? I suppose this expands into other areas of life as well. But I only really care about my foam sword game. I see and hear it so often out here that it really bums me out. You can't let people walk all over you in this game. You let somebody know that you're afraid of them and they will walk all over you. All it takes is a well timed foot stomp and I can make 3-4 people jump back from me. All they need do is work together and gank the piss out of me. Instead they Bruce Lee me and I get to kill them one at a time. Try harder motherfuckers, and don't let the fucking boogy man scare you. You look the fucking boogy man in the eye and you say "Hey! Fuck you boogy man! I'm not a-fucking-fraid of you!"


Okay, so that guy is actually kinda scary, but you get my point. Don't let yourself be beaten before the fight even begins.

Photo/Finally Fridays

Whoop! It's Friday!

Got my car registration renewed today, as well as a smog check.
"So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it."

For some silly ass reason the dmv only accepts cash, check, or debit. Apparently the 'red cards' (Navy Federal debit cards) don't seem to work, or so I was told. So what am I to do? I had $50 cash and owed $65. What a conundrum! So I was directed to cross the street and use the Circle K ATM. Oh but of course the ATM doesn't work for me. So I seek out another which happened to be much closer to the DMV. Well by golly it charged me $1.50 to take out money.
Fuck you DMV.

Whimsy Wednesdays

I just don't understand. In a system where all non-members are wrong, how should you react to another group with the same rules? If I'm a Christian I'm an infidel. If I'm not a Christian...I'm an infidel. The same rule applies to all faiths. Since one cannot simply be a practitioner of them all what is to come of us? For centuries civilization held many beliefs. Worshiped a plethora of gods. How could it be that all these people were wrong? Why can't their version of God(s) exist? What is it that makes one system, 'The Only System'? If there is to be a divinity in charge of all this commotion down here. He/She has to span multiple faiths. How can we blindly accept one, and carelessly cast the others away?

A couple years back I was visiting the Egypt Exibit at The Field Museum. There were all these displays talking about Egyptian spells. Book of spells this, spells for this ceremony that. It lead me to wonder. What is the difference between a spell of old, and a prayer of present?

From The Book of the Dead
"Praise be to thee, O thou ruler of Amenta, Unneferu, who presides in Abydos. I have come to thee with a pure heart, free from sin. I have told no falsehoods nor acted deceitfully. Give thou me in the tomb the food I need for the journey, so let me have a safe entrance to the underworld and a sure exit."

From The Bible
"Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. "

The idea of God is too big for one religion.

So I went running today

My gunny has decided that my workshift is gonna go running twice a week now. Today was the first run. Meh, the run wasn't a challenge. Out of the seven of us running only three of us are in decent shape. So what does that mean? It means the pace was slow and unchallenging. During the run I spotted a Bud lite box that I intended to wear as a hat to lighten the mood and of course, to showboat. To my surprise and joy there was a beer inside! So I donned the box and drank the beer. Ever have beer shoot up your nose? Unpleasant. I'm just happy it was a twist-off, otherwise this story wouldn't be near as cool.

Test

This is a test. I'm posting this to the blog from my phone to see how it works. I feel like I should say something me-ish....so here we go. Fuck you

Inner Peace Through Outer Violence

Three questions, three answers

1. What is this for?
2. Why now?
3. What is the capital of Norway

1. This will serve as a spot for me to vent, share, ramble, whatever.
2. I feel like it.
3. Oslo.

I'm gonna shoot from the hip and not give a fuck. Because I'm typing this for me, not for you. My language may sometimes be crass, rude, disgusting, omgwtf! I don't care. Take me as I am, or die in a fire. :-)
