So, what's the latest to be going on in my rather boring life right now?As anybody who bothers to read my blog may have noticed, I haven't exactly been saying a whole lot on the blogging front recently. I keep up to date with current events by reading a few blogs just to keep me current, but for the most part, I've been chilling the last month. This includes rock climbing, snowboarding,

visited 45 states (90%)Create your own visited map of The United StatesYep, I've got my map pretty much red. One little section in the south left, and of course, Hawaii and Alaska. So five states to go. I think I can do it in three seperate trips. How do I rate the states? The last chunk I saw (Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota) were likely seen in the wrong time of year. But

Before I begin, I just want to make a point that this is not intended to be a diss on President Obama so to speak, although I have my disagreements with our President on different policies, most of them fiscally related, I try to refrain judgment on issues dealing with the military seeing as he is my Commander in Chief, though it hasn't stopped me at being borderline insubordinate with my chain

Better late then never, right?Every year I do New Years Resolutions. This year is no different. Funny thing, i usually post my resolutions on the web with my goals in mind and don't look at them again until the next year. So how was 2009 in the spirit of Resolution making, eh?Paint More - every year, I will add this resolution - I didn't paint at all. I don't know if I'll bother adding this

You notice how you get older, your thoughts change, your interests change, a lot of things seem to change. It's nice for things to change from time to time, but it's difficult to stay consistent. especially when you are like me and you get into something, REALLY get into it until you burn out on it, and then find something else.Alas, that is my curse. Meanwhile, this week I kind of took a

NOTE - I started writing this, and then put it away. Well, I'm posting it after the fact. Oh well, better late then never, it has been past dated from 1/14/2009Holidays are here, and you know what that means?If I'm not posting about anything else (which, well, let's face it, right now I'm not posting about anything else) I post all about my year.

Email making the rounds right now, potential to go viral if it hasn't already, I don't forward emails but thought I would blog it if you haven't seen it yet. This is brilliant, unfortunately the outcome is to be expected."Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up

I'm not an expert on Afghanistan, I have never been there and I don't know what it's like from a personal point of view (though I nearly deployed there in 2001, a week later my orders were revoked, figures). I know things aren't going to well, Afghanistan has been notorious for being a nearly impossible theater to fight in ever since the Soviets waged war during the 80's. Being in the military,

How about neither, I'm not a cola fan, never have, never will be.Meanwhile, most of my family tend to be pepsi drinkers, unless they drink Diet. Then it's Diet Coke. I go for root beer myself, Henry weinharts is the good stuff, A&W is also recommended. But lately, carbonated beverages and I don't mix. At least, not without food.

So, I brought it on myself. I asked people to give me a topic to write about and when I wasn't satisfied with the answers of 'ah, post whatever you want to post about', I was put up to the task. The topic? The pros and cons of Narcolepsy. Now, I don't have Narcolepsy, though granted I have suffered through similar symptoms in the past. Actually, if anything I suffer at times of Insomnia.

I finished Nanowrimo last night. You can see the thing in the sidebar now telling me that I had many days of absolute crap followed by a few days where I just wrote until my fingers were a mess. Actually, this is the best representation of how my writing went this month.Meanwhile, my story remains incomplete. Wow, you know, one of these days, I would like to plan something out that is

Have I commented on this before? This summer I read the novel 1984 for the first time. Some recent discoveries made me revisit it again, this time via Netflix (I tried to pick up the DVD but it is hard to find for any decent price!), as I watched the movie version. What can I say, this is a very faithful adaptation of the book. But mostly it got me thinking of current events.Granted, 1984

Black friday. Hmm. . .I was debating on going shopping today for some deals, there are some things I was thinking of getting, but fortunately, I was able to talk myself right out of it, and got caught playing Zynga games on Facebook instead. Those things are evil, and time wasters of the Nth degree. But overall today was really relaxed and ho hum.Tomorrow I'm cleaning. My place is a disaster.

Thanksgiving is the time to be grateful and give thanks for everything you have.You know, I think right now in my life I am perhaps the most content and satisfied I have ever been. Not to say that everything is perfect and gumdrops and lollypops, but things could be a whole lot worse then they are. I have a job where I make good money (though I need to have a back up plan in three months, but

I went out to the Hocking Hills yesterday, which is a four hour drive and somewhat of a spur of the moment thing for me.Mostly, I went because I wanted to go on the Zipline Tour. I had never heard of Hocking Hills really before this, but overall I'm glad I went, because Hocking Hills overall is a pretty cool place to visit. Um, I don't know why I look somewhat psychotic in this picture, but I

So I come home from an awesome day all pumped and ready to blog about it and then. . . my computer acts stupid and won't recognize either of my cameras so I can't download pictures.Furthermore, a thumbdrive I bought for the pictures of what I did today doesn't include all the pictures like I was told it would. Considering that I went ahead and paid as much as I did for it THINKING I was getting

So now I've been following up on Fort Hood and what happened there and am in a little more understanding of what happened and this is what I'm going to say.The Army, being the Army, needs to pull its head out of its ass and call this what it is. When Fort Hood, the location where this happened, is wrenching as to 'why' this happened when it is blatantly obvious that this is indeed, a lesson to

Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing TrucksAll my battle buddies are hyping up Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2 (yes, this is what we do when we don't have soldiers to train). Most of them have been to Iraq and are commenting on how intense it is. But boy I love the Onion.

Asking for my opinion on the Ft Hood shootings. To be honest, I don't know a whole lot about the circumstances, but then, I don't think anybody can really understand why this guy decided to commit this horrendous act, especially considering that he was a Psychiatrist. People are asking why this man who apparently snapped could be allowed to stay in after it turns out that there was a record of

Ok, I meant to post this on the fourth, or rather, maybe I should post it on January 20th after a little more research, because then it will really have been a year, but regardless, I tried to be open about an Obama presidency, which seemed more and more certain last year the closer we got to the election, and I wanted him to have a successful presidency, successful being that he didn't bring our

So there are about a dozen and one topics I want to blog about, pictures I need to post, my facebook I need to update, and I need to clean my house (and my truck) from my trip. Instead, I got caught up in the NaNoWriMo craze. Yep, November is National Novel Writer's Month and I am participating, though I got to a late start. I'm tracking pretty well so far, this time the story takes place in

So I made it back home, er, well, my home away from home at least. I left on the tenth and got back on the third, I still have until Saturday, but I think I'll just set in my house and relax for a few days and call this trip off a little early. Trying to blog it obviously came out as me posting two pointless and slightly incoherent blogs about my trip and then I just gave up because they

Chilling in DC, been having a pretty awesome time on leave so far, but I think tonight I'm going to just take it easy and plan out what I'm going to do tomorrow and go from there. And I guess catch up on the blog front.Where was I? the last couple of days, I was in New York City, like I was last year. today, I drove through Philadelphia. I wanted to stop, but then I learned that Philadelphia,

Currently I'm in NYC, and when you're in New York, you have to do the morning shows, right? THat's a given.They panned me and my cousin on the Today Show today, right before the fluff piece on the Pumpkins and interviewed Gordon Campbell from Canada. To bad they don't show that stuff online. They really should. I was looking for it but didn't see it.We also showed up on Fox and Friends.

If you are watching the Today Show tomorrow (Monday, October 19) keep an eye on the crowd, you might just see me. :PCurrently in NYC, maybe I'll update more of my blog in the next couple of days? But in the meantime, well, the Today show! Now we have to come up with a catchy slogan to write on our signs!
