California was like Peeing into the wind

2006-06-27T22:53:00.000-05:00

California was like peeing into the wind.
California was a suckfest, nothing went right. I hope some good comes out of the experience, Im sure it will though.
Entertainment in the high desert of Cali
1.Bible
2. Dust Devils, tornado's of dust
3. Cell phone, thank God...that was the only thing going for me.
4. Met an Iraqi Christian....really awsome guy. Gotta call him soon, he lives in Teas for a few months near me. That was worth the whole trip...pain and all, was meeting him.
5. One of the guys I work with is pretty much my best friend, he is polish...goin through a shitty situation really does make people tight or make them hate each other. Both situations happened between me and other people.
6 Growing the best darn mustache on FOB Seattle, yes that was me.
7. Finding out I really like a girl through it....wierd situation...ask if you want to...
and the possibility of being a chaplain assistant, better job then I got right now. See what happens though.
As for those seven things, nothing went right. It was suck city alright.
I went 2 and a half weeks without a shower, after getting back and having my first hot meal, I stunk so bad I couldnt smell the food... The first week aint so bad...after that it goes down hill. I wore the same uniform for 3 weeks. I threw my socks away, instead of keeping them to wash again...when you reach that point...you know you are beyond the point of having an "issue", you have a problem.
Post script....
I am back in Texas now, I went to a quincenerra Saturday and had a blast. I was talking to a girl I met there, and obviously her grandma thought I wanted to do more then dance cause ole grandma cock blocked me. The girl got up to go to the bathroom and grandma got up a few second later, then came back and sat where that girl was sitting. I had no intentions of skrewing..or getting a phone number for that matter...but Grandma thought otherwise I guess. After this happened it took me a couple seconds for the news to sink in....I just looked down at my beer...shook my head and started laughing. I tapped out..and walked away with my tail between my legs....I should have started talking to the grandma...hahahhaha
I have joined an elite club finally, the.."I got cock blocked by a Grandma club".

San Antonio Current mood: cheerful
So my weekend sucked....as in major suck.... Tried to get a hold of alot of people, no calls back...nothing. Weekends like this make me want to delete half my phone list and not think twice. Plus people I try to keep in touch with, I call them but they never call me, makes me wonder sometimes....So in this suckfest of a weekend, I had Monday off. Monday was the highlight (how can this be you ask?) This is where the bitching ends and it gets interesting..
Well, let Cowboy Curt, the baddest bullriding, tobacco chewing son of a gun explain, I woke up at 9, only got 4 hours of sleep, hopped in the shower and knew it would be a good day, it had to be....if not, things would get violent fast. The shower screamed at me to wake up... then got into my sexy tight wranglers and strapped into the cockpit of my ghetto cruiser...and out of Killeen I went. It took 2 and a half hours to get to San Antonio from Killeen. Very enjoyable ride, plus I was still half concious. it took a while to find The University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) cause directions on the website were not good enough for a country boy in a ghetto car. The place is amazing, I really like the campus. 27,000 people there. VERY SWEET. Bigger then Bemidji.
I left there and proceeded north and stopped in San Marcos and saw Mirna, really cool girl and a great friend. I Know what its like to be a PASCS. (Pronounced as pa-sck-us.) Shorthand for *Poor As Shit College Student* So I bought her dinner and we went down to the river and hung out and caught up on whats been goin on. She went back home to do homework so I did what any guy would do in hot weather, I took a swim.Farther up the highway I stopped at a rodeo arena where there was a party going on, when the bag of weed was shown to me that was my cue to leave.

What the heck

2006-04-28T02:52:00.000-05:00

Yall that know me well enough, its like pulling teeth for me to go to church, let alone wake up early (4 hours of sleep also) and still go to church...this was a miracle. Dont count on too many of these I told myself. This cute broad that was in the choir was checking out my butt (God bless tight wranglers) when I was drinking out of the water fountain, worth a good laugh. Church was ok, good sermon but after it they had communion, thats too much for me man....
I went out and saw Tania's parents last night, I hope Tania doesnt read this, she is on my friends list and all but I doubt she reads this, her mom still wants us back together I think, or at least be friends. Do I want this...at the moment no, Id rather just talk once in a while, but here is where it gets complicated, I helped lead her to Christ. So I guess I am pretty much forced to talk to her....suck it up and just do it I guess. Im sick of being hurt and downright rejected.....thats the thing.
Anyways I am going bullriding in a couple hours in Belton, should be fun
We ride never worry about the fall, I guess thats just the cowboy in us all.

Update: we are friends I guess....go figure

Hey yall

2006-04-12T10:53:00.000-05:00

Been out in the field so posts have been far and few, I am doing well, miss talking to yall.
Shai, havnt heard from you in a while are you still alive?

In the past few weeks I have been on 7 bulls, got 8 seconds on two of them. I still have hoof imprints on my legs, very sexy.

I joined the dark side

2006-03-24T16:48:00.001-06:00

Dear readers,
I feel like I have joined the dark side of the force, and it is good.
I have a myspace account finally. AND I LIKE IT. I feel like such an ignorant american by joining the crowd.

Oh yeah, for you bible readin types.

Spring Break

2006-03-15T00:28:00.000-06:00

So I am sitting here on a Tuesday night and figured Id give all my loyal readers an update, especially you Jon since you are heading out for England. Have fun by the way.

Its been a while but I have been out on a few dates as of late, nothing serious of course, real cool girl. Names Tina, I have been warned countless times about the women around here and all but she is fairly cool so we will see what happens. I still have my guard up of course. If you dont know me all that well dont ask for details, cause I wont give you them.

Been on 3 bulls in the past 2 days, made 8 seconds tonight, fairly easy bull, I needed it for confidence sake, its been 4 months since riding, so to get on one, even an easier bull and make 8 is respectable, my form is getting better and hope in a few months I can get on harder ones and do just as well.

Been going to a new dancehall named "Starlight", there is a crew I hang out with and the girls are good dancers so I enjoy the company.

Girls I have turned down in the past month is now up to 4, good stuff.

The Army sucks.

Killeen sucks.

Curt is awsome. haha

Talked to the old ex tonight. I can see why things didnt work out. I asked how she was doin and all, got to talk to her a couple times in the past weeks and off the top of my head, she has only asked how I was doing once. That was the only question I have heard from her. Im glad things didnt work out. The circumstances of it werent good but Im glad I didnt waste any more time with her.
Money talks...in the words of ACDC and I spent too much time goin and seeing her, it was a waste but I learned a few lessons out of the deal. So it wasnt too bad I guess if I learned something.

1. Mexican girls are hot.

2. Dont date any, I repeat, Do not date ,any girls in the following ages, 20 to 18. No exceptions to this rule. At this point go for your age or above.

3. Dont date a girl who hasnt had her heart broken at least twice, if this hasnt happened she doesnt know how good she has it when you treat her good. NO CLUE.

4.This corresponds to number 2, girls at this age have no Idea what they want, Im not sure girls know what they want period, that is why it is up to us guys to make that up for them at times. I know Im gonna get a brow beating for this comment.

5. After we broke up her mom told her that she liked me, go figure. She didnt while we were together.

6.Superficial girls suck, gotta cut through the small talk fast. I like girls that dont like small talk, that part was reinforced. Not too many girls out there like that but there is a few. Very desireable. I HATE SMALL TALK. Tania absolutly survived on small talk it seemed, what things appear on the outside. This sort of dumbing down I noticed later on with her. I blame it on the school system. She was too dumbed down to notice it.

I want a rebel like me, cause chances are a girl is rebeling by hanging out with me. I believe what I believe and all, but I cant stand walking into a church. I still go but its like going to the dentist. Me and Tonya (different girl) split 2 dollars to put in the offering plate each time. Its pretty funny. We both laugh each time.

Hope yall are having a awsome week. Cause I am.

The Minor Leage Weekend

2006-03-09T22:47:00.000-06:00

I was in a local resturante, saw this waitress and she was very cute and looked roughly 19.
Curt "so are you in college."
Hazel (learned her name from the tab) "No, Im in high school."
Oh Crap.
Curt "How old are you?"
Hazel "Im 16".
Curt "get out of here, your lying".
Hazel "no Im not".
Oh Crap ( feeling stupid at this point)

20 minutes later I am in Wal Mart (the devils five and dime for those of you new to the blog)
This girl is walkin toward me with her friend and she is checking me out.
She is cute and I look back at her. They pass me and her friend looks at me, then looks at her and nods back at her.
Green light.
Either I can wimp out and stay in line or I can see what she is doing tonight.
Me being the gutsy man of steel that I am, what do I have to loose, by this point I have lost my pride, dignity, and any sense of sensibility at all so what the heck.
Curt "hey what are yall doing tonight?"
Girl "nothing, why?"
Curt "was wondering if you wanted to go out to the dancehall with me tonight?"
Girl " I cant"
Curt "why not?"
Girl "Im 17"
son of a gun.
0 for 2 today, and both were minors, something is wrong with the equation.

The Most Romantic Valentines Day A Single Guy Could Have

2006-02-17T12:32:00.000-06:00

Most time a man will tell you his bad intention if you listen, let yourself hear it.

Kevin Costner in "Open Range"

I like this quote cause its true, more people need to learn this lesson. Buddy went to a strip club, place he shouldnt have been in the first place and he said he had a bad feeling about it that night. Well, a fight happened and he wasnt in it but none the less. Ignore your gut and stuff is gonna go down, and hopefully you make it out alive. Just heard about this today so had to comment.

Anyways, had a very romantic Valentines day for being single, only thing I was missing was the flowers and candles. I stood on the hill and watched a couple of tank battles in the valley below me. I was so busy I forgot it was Valentines Day until someone texted me. This Valentines day was better then the last, the last one I wanted to make sure a girl back in Bemidji didnt see her next Valentines Day.

Romance for a single guy= Weapons of War.
Weather this be the history channel or the military channel, or watching the stuff live. This is by far the most heart warming stuff for a single guy.

I only ate one MRE (meals ready to eat) this week, I had plenty of better food to eat and wasnt all that hungry this week. MRE's plug a guy up, he cant take a poop for 3 days after eating them for the first couple days. If I was a high school cooking teacher and one of my students had come up with this good way to keep food preserved till God knows when. I would have told him," you know, thats an awsome idea, but you still get and 'F".

How do you two step Hans??
Find an older girl roughly 40 years old in Austin Texas. Drive down there and have her teach you. After you learn you might forget something, thats where this key ingrient comes into hand. Alcohol.
The next time you go out and your still learning, grab a girl after 3 drinks and tell her you just learned a week ago. The alcohol will help loosen you up just enough to relax and do your thing. After a while you wont even need the alcohol and can walk on a stage with zero alcohol in the system and dance like a champ.

Tank Battle on a Tuesday

2006-02-12T19:23:00.000-06:00

Life is not tried it its mearly survived it, if your standing outside the fire
Garth Brooks

So far these past two weeks, the following scores are
Girls - 0
Curt- 2
Two girls have been denied access to the wedding tackle in the past two weeks. Good stuff...when the wedding ring comes, that will change of course. Then she will get the winnin score. hehe

Last week was able to hit the urban terain fighting stuff, very cool and scary at the same time, urban fights are fast and bloody in real life.
Then went to Wild Country with some co-workers. One lady tries to make out with me after I talked to her after 5 minutes. Denied hunny, I aint that easy. I go to dance, thats it. Tough beans baby.
This past week was able to watch M1 Abrams tanks fight all week, very cool. Take a nap after the fight and a few hours later they do it again. Thursday night we had a barbecue and built a fire and cooked some steak and mashed potatoes. This was a treat to put it mildly.
We normally eat MRE's (meals ready to eat) which are packed with enough preservatives in them, that if I were to die right now my body wouldnt start decomposing for months. Though the meals arent that bad. (It could always be worse).

This past weekend I went to a rodeo and met my platoon sgt there. I joined him and drank beer and watched the bullriding. I wanted to ride but they had no slack that night. He is a funny dude so it was alright. I swear I check out more girls at a rodeo then at the dancehall, so me and him were comparing tastes, I like mexican and brunette girls, he is a sucker for blondes. He might be older then I am, but I learned one thing that night.

I have more game then my platoon sgt.

After the rodeo went two stepping, had a blast. Always do.
Then Denny's for breakfast. This is where I score again.
Older chick walks up to me and talks to me. I already know she is wanting something tonight, and tonight she is going home to a cold bed alone.
I let her think that she is coming home dwith me for a while, I didnt encourage this thinking, just let her think that.
Until I drop the bomb. "I am going home alone like I normally do." was my finishing move. And what a finishing move it was. The look on her face was priceless.

I learned something this weekend. Add this onto the "what I want in a wife " list
A girl that can keep her word. She says shes gonna do something she does it or tries her best.
HAHAHAHA. Good Luck, havnt seen that in years.
Somehow latly I have developed an attitude of..." I just dont care, nothing on this planet is stopping me" attitude.
Call it cynicism, call it what you want, but people blow smoke (lies) so much, and Im so used to it and expect it.
I think its a defense mechanism to getting hurt, and it works alot.
In a way I like this attitude, Im untouchable or try to be, Im a child of the King of Kings and thats all that matters. Keep reading my bible and stay on the offensive.
Got to whitness to a guy last weekend, that was awsome.

Nothing Special

2006-01-29T21:15:00.000-06:00

Thursday and Friday we are out in the field, and this coming week, should be interesting and full of its own challenges. I like going to the field, I stay busy for the most part. Hard to stay awake at times though, its not the warmest out in a tent on a Texas night so, sleep comes in fits. I get chances for naps during the day though so thats not bad.
This weekend I went to a latin club and natually Im the only white guy there.
I figured I wouldnt make it out of there alive. Well Im writing about it so obviously I did.
Things have been pretty good on the job stuff though, I have alot of fun and things are fairly laid back, plus we come in on the weekends. Deffinatly cant complain.
We have gotten some new gear so thats been interesting to try it out, its alot more comfortable and easier to move around in. The ruck is bigger and thats nice cause the old rucksacks just didnt cut the snuff at all in my opinion. Lots more pockets.
I love the driving stuff though, Hummers are pretty darn cool if you ask me spendy buggers too, maybe get a pic of my vehicle on here someday.

Reading a Newspaper at Night

2006-01-23T11:49:00.000-06:00

Last week was magnifacent, I was driving for some officers. Stuff is finally starting to click around work and things have gotten easier when it comes to work related stuff.
I was driving at night and we pulled over to see how Bravo Company is doing. I brought a newspaper out with me that night, I dont know why. I put my night vision gogles on and proceeded to catch up on the news from northern Minnesota in the pitch black of night. I thought that was kind of funny after it was all said and done with. Reading a newspaper at night with NVG's on. The wierd things a soldier will do to keep himself occupied.

Cards and watching movies are pretty popular, its funny though, war movies arent the most popular here, I guess can understand this thinking, we are around machines of war alot and thinking about it deep down and all so all of us crave for our own escapes when it comes to movies. Comedy is probably the most popular, I cant say the same with myself, I like a good western or a war movie, I have no problem with it. Open Range is one of my favorite recent western movies. Seeing good guys kick ass is cool.

That night in the Humvee I called up the boss to see if anything had changed, I got told that since I was workin my butt off that I had friday off, best news I had heard in a couple weeks. Something clicked in me, road trip. I ended up getting back to base at 3 in the morning. It was a late night, I had pulled a 22 hour day, I like driving alot here so it didnt really feel like a long day. It took me another hour and a half to get to sleep, gotta love the second wind. That night I did some quick talking and figured Id go out to Odessa.I had some country to see and someone to visit.

This is where the story goes downhill. I go out there wanting to do something and that doesnt happen, plus a couple other things happened and I was ticked, and really dissapointed.
It was an expensive lesson learned but another lesson learned that will help me down the road. Give everything to God, even your dissapointments, talk to some friends and keep pushing on. Sitting and stewing over stuff that is out of your control wont do you any good, for those of you that know Jesus, his priorities come first and the offensive is here and now, life is too short. Get healed over hurts and pain as fast and thorough as possible, life is too short and in the long run the dissapointments that hurt bad at the time will be small in the bigger picture, it doesnt mean that they arent important, but the question I ask now is not, "why did you let this happen to me?" but, "what are you trying to teach me?" I think I have made a big step in the bigger picture. Its nice. I was a bit angry still today but after talkin to a couple guys that just listened, the forgiveness started yesterday and is just about complete today. Its been quick, fast and thorough. Thank God for good friends that can listen.
If God can forgive me for my skrew ups, and still have patience with me. I can at least try my best to do that with others. Im a child of the King, Im gonna do my damnest to conduct myself as such.

Today I met one of the guys in the Battallion who just got married, I met his wife out at the dancehall one night and have known the couple for a few months now. He told me he appreciated that I treated his wife really well when I met her and asked me how I was doing, I told him about what happened last weekend and he replied, "your a good man, keep it up, whoever nabs you will be lucky." Ive heard the same thing from a few others but wasnt expecting that from him. Im starting to believe it.
I hope the best for them.

This is a song Ive been listening to latly, its pretty good.

Michael W. Smith "Healing Rain"

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...

2 years 4 months to go

2006-01-09T21:09:00.000-06:00

Sitting here with a cold Lone Star beer and trying not to think. Sometimes I wonder if being down here is worth it all. Just by this statement you can probably read from this that I had a horrible day. Yes I did.
Certain co-workers I strive to avoid like the plague and somehow that doesnt happen. It makes my life stressful beyond belief. I am trying my best to deal with it but at the end of the day I am done, my brain screams for a getaway and a cold beer. So now I am drinking the cheapest beer in Texas. The stuff tastes like grain belt except a bit milder. My pangs for Minnesota premium have grown less and less. Thats a good thing.
God has blessed me in the past few days, got to see someone come to Christ, I was able to be the middle man in this. What a privelege. I believe that just this one reason I was to come down here, nice to have a bit of a ministry.
Its the end of the day and I feel retarded. I am tired of feeling this way to put it nice.
Im already counting down the time till I am out. 2 years 4 months. Its going by fast though I have to say.
Next target after army. Get nursing degree. I want to be able to think again.

Longhorns

2006-01-05T22:47:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I was out getting some work related stuff done, was planning on going bull riding but that went out the window...so after getting my rands done, I figured what the heck, Ive been hearing about the upcoming USC (University of Southern California) vs UT (University of Texas) game.
I couldnt think of anywhere close to go besides Hooters, I know a couple waitresses there who are real sweethearts and I hadnt seen them in a couple months so heck, Im gonna kill two birds with one stone, not knowing that in the process I would turn into a college football fan.
I walked out with my voice gone after yelling half the night. Texas won by three points for those of you that dont watch football, and if you didnt watch it you probably dont care anyways.

So today I go and pick up my uniforms from the dry cleaners and stop at Wal-Mart, (the Devils Five and Dime for you hill billies on crack) first thing I see when I walk in is Longhorn T-shirts.
Awww shoot, satan is tempting me to buy a T-shirt...so what do I do when tempted, especially by cool looking T-shirts, I give in. On my wall now hanging is an orange UT National Champions T-shirt. Curt Nelson, a college football fan...never saw this one coming.

Invasion Day

2005-12-24T10:41:00.000-06:00

Christmas 2006
I know I havnt updated in a while. I apologize.

Dear Readers
Happy Invasion Day
Many songs are spoken about that silent night, how holy and peaceful it was. As with most norms with society. This is another that bothers me to no end, and in effect, 90 percent of christmas music sucks.
This was no silent night.
This was the day that Jesus Christ snuck into this world disguised as a small child and the war over the fate of man was declared. This was no holy night. This was the day war was declared. This night was more important then D-Day on the beaches of Normandy.
What kind of Invasion was this? This world is ruled by powers and principalities of evil, Herod the King was one of these rulers that heard about the birth of the King and wanted him taken out before he was a threat, children 2 years and younger in the town of Bethlehem were killed, the young child had to be whisked away to Egypt where he would be safe until Herod was dead.
This was an invasion that had many risks and dangers, but would be the way that the enemy wouldnt see the threat coming till it was too late and defeat was eminent. And this was was in the body of a small child.

I hear constantly this Christmas season that Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. This is part of it, but not everything and in my opinion very decieving, It takes away from his true nature, he came to make war on Satan and free our hearts, in taking away the power of sin he then fulfilled what he came to do, not just to take away sin, but to free the hearts of men.

Happy Invasion Day

The Worst Movies Ever

2005-12-03T22:04:00.000-06:00

American Pie, American Pie 2, Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2...and 3 if they made one, never seen the scary movie series and dont want to.

These movies are bad, I just came back from a buddies house and he turned American Pie 2.
He commented that this movie was good, I arched my eybrows in doubt of this comment.
I have heard too much about these movies and I could hardly agree. And I have never seen them. But I in my ignorance decided to check it out for a bit. Wrong move

1. Nobody Dies
2 No Bloodshed

Just this classifies these movies as bad. Plus no girls are resued, just used. What is the perpose? To make me laugh, come on here, my life is as funny as it comes. They should make a movie about my life. I am famous world wide and movie producers havnt heard of me...
Something Is Wrong Here.

I tried to stomach it for 45 minutes, barely paying attention to it. Finally I had to back out. These movies are like mixing up the pop bottle and the chew spitter on a late night drive. I walked out and wanted to get rid of the contents of my stomach. Thank GOD I dont remember seeing anything of this bad movie. Only people who like this movie are of the following.
1. People who have never been to college.
2. High school students.
3. People who like wasting an hour and a half of their worthless lives on a worthless movie.
4. People who like watching the aimless adventures of a group of actors trying to be college students.

Whoever wrote, acted, directed...hell with it, played any part in these movies(even the parents of these worthless actors and actresses) are not worthy of calling themselves citizens of the United States of America and should be locked away in Guantanamo Bay. They should be compared to as terrorists.

Anyone who likes these movies, you are wrong, dumbed down (and stupid).

I would have liked if the American Pie series would have been about a bunch of college students had raunchy sex and contracted STD's then proceeded to pass them off to each other. Then found out in the end. Now that would have been funny to me.

Christmas

2005-11-29T17:42:00.000-06:00

"If you've ever known the love of God, you know it's nothing but reckless and it's nothing but raging. Sometimes it hurts to be loved, and if it doesn't hurt it's probably not love, may be infatuation. I think a lot of American people are infatuated with God, but we don't really love Him, and they don't really let Him love them. Being loved by God is one of the most painful things in the world, it's also the only thing that can bring us salvation and it's like everything else that is really wonderful, there's a little bit of pain in it, little bit of hurt."

"It's just that for so many people that I know, Christianity this matter of ... it has everything to do with morals. Christianity is a religion about morals. And they will even talk about Jesus. And they will say kids need to know about Jesus so they won't smoke, drink, or dance, or go with girls that do, and all that kind of thing. And I kinda go, 'That's not why people need to know about Jesus. The only reason—the only possible excuse for talking about Jesus is because we need a Savior.'"

Both of these are quotes from Rich Mullins. Since I have been chewed out by that Christian singles group leaders for things explained earlier in my posts I have quit going. I have no desire at all for fellowship with others that dont know me and judge my actions without knowing my intentions. This doesnt mean I have quit goin to church or reading my bible and praying, if anything it has made me rely on the strength of God that much more.

Latly the blatant disregard for Christmas and the birth of Christ and calling it the Holiday season has been interesting. This movement has been checked but I think it will continue in the process to make this country that much more secular. Remove anything involving Christ from this rich land. I see the offensive taking a new level and the church in this country has been for the most part silent.

A Christmas Story(thankfully not true)

2005-11-27T02:51:00.000-06:00

'Twas the night before Christmas--
Old Santa was pissed.He cussed out the elves and threw down his list.
Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks.I have a good mind to scrap the whole works!
I've busted my butt for damn near a year, Instead of "Thanks Santa"--what do I hear?
The old lady bitches cause I work late at night.
The elves want more money--The reindeer all fight.
Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.
Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.

Random Thoughts

2005-11-22T07:37:00.000-06:00

1. I work for a major, but being enlisted put its nice spin on things. I know there are cardinal rules when dealing with officers. I just dont know them or have been told them. i have tried to figure them out but still have yet to make any progress. Its like that algebra question you work on and work on and still have no idea on it. You spit and cuss and are inches close to throwing the book in the fire, and you still have no idea.

2. I dont care about Thursday (thanksgiving) Friday is gonna be so much better hopefully.

3. People that work at fast food places and cant get an order right, and in the process of swiping your atm card, scratch the black strip by stepping on it and twisting, (and are managers) should go to fast food hell (working at a Dairy Queen in Killeen Texas).

4. Internet trouble sucks, especially when HP technical service had no clue on the trouble. Thank you Tom for your help man, appreciated, much on the line getting this computer up and running, maybe someday I will be able to explain.

5.Companies that get their technical support from places like India....if you have dealt with this before, you understand, if you dont...English that is barely understandable in a ab-pu (simpsons character) accent except much worse.

6.Some guys think I am a pimp here just because they see me dancing with multiple pretty girls....I dont know where they got this idea but, in a few circles I am looked at as a legend and have been asked multiple times, How do I do it?
Answer:I have no interest in anything with them besides a dance, a conversation, and spread the gospel a bit.

7. I should have been at a quince~era on Saturday in Reynosa Mexico, all night saturday I kicked myself for this. If you get invited by a pretty Mexican girl to go accross the border. Do it fella's. I still feel like an idiot for this one.

Lord, help me.

2005-11-15T20:30:00.000-06:00

I have to post on this, it came to mind today.

I swear sometimes when it really matters, I put my foot in my mouth and stay stuff that pry shouldn't be said, or I come off too strong, its happened before and it happens again, I dont realize it after it happens, then after it does, ...I just cringe.
I pray to GOD that even though I make these stupid mistakes at times, that his will, whatever it happens to be will be accomplished. Either I make people mad or I scare them away and I dont mean to. I really dont like this flaw I have, but I think that GOD overlooks these small flaws in my character and his will, will end up carrying through no matter how much I skrew up sometimes. Moses was slow of speech and look at what GOD did with him. He has a plan for me and I have to remember this, and he takes my flaws into consideration. I have been having a bit of a hard time trusting GOD latly, until this thought came mind. My small difficulties in trusting GOD have been erased for the time being, and I have to keep reminding myself of this small fact that I have forgotten. May I never forget it.

Compared to alot of other guys, I would have to say I wear my emotions more, I show them more. Alot of guys hide there emotions, if something is funny they dont want to laugh because having a stern emotionless face shows that they are "tough". Or even showing sadness, they want to hide it and not show that they are affected by something else to show they are "tough".
I never have really understood this mentality.
I understand showing a poker face among people that shouldnt be trusted and can use my show of emotions against me. I do understand self control. But at times I believe among friends we can really show what is going on, yet we as guys dont. Its the "road warrior mentality" Go see the movie and you will understand it if you pay close attention to the main character. We can do it on our own. NO, No we cant.

GOD bless you all.

MSN MESSENGER is being retarded, waiting for them to make a patch to fix the program.

I hope yall are doing good.

I dont really have any interesting stories from the previous week so Ill just tell yall how it went.
Monday- was in class
Tuesday- put my name on my Vehicle. Very cool, she is finally mine.
Tuesday night- recieved phone call from first seargent, this isnt good.When an average Joe like me gets a call from the big boss its not going to be good, and I was correct. He proceeded to chew me out for stuff beyond my control or even had knowlege about. Great.
Wednesday-missed PT
Thursday- easy as ever
Friday-veterans day, drank with some of the vets in the shop. Wild Country was fun that night.
Saturday-sat tight, went to local mexican place and ate a damn good meal.
Talked to Tania, cool girl.

Halloween: Its Hard To Be A Chick

2005-11-06T20:31:00.000-06:00

Halloween 2005
Its the Devils holiday for fundamental baptists, a time to get candy for heathen kids, and for others, an excuse to cross dress.

Saturday I was in the mall, like usual by myself, minding my own damn buisness when I come accross a group of people I see at wild country alot.
I asked them what they were doing and they reply quite smartly,
"we are shopping for our halloween costumes."
"Oh Ok thats sweet " I said with a shrug
"U gotta join us, u hang out with us enough" one of the girls chips in.
"Ok sure...what are yall goin as.?"

One of the guys replies...."chicks"
the first thing that shoots out of my mouth is "HELL NO"

Im starting to get used to getting ganged up on...wether it be by fundamental Baptists, Evangelicals, ignorant co-workers, ditzy college girls with emotions driving their madness (by far the worst to fight off, only a shotgun or an STD will do it.)
But a group of people jaded by the riggors of military life, including myself...my defenses could only stand so long. After 20 minutes of fighting them off, it was doing no good and made them more determined to storm my weak defenses. After 20 minutes of this, I finally came to the conclusion. This weekend I will be an ignorant American and join the group.
"Ok fine Ill do it."
I didnt know how much these words would haunt me for the next two days.

We walked into DEB's and picked out our outfits, I was gonna be wearing green according to one of the girls. This was fine, green is my favorite color.

Next stop was the beauty store, one of the guys was getting his ears pierced. They asked if I wanted to do this.

This was going too far. I told them Id pass, thank you.

Next stop was the Devils five and dime, Wal Mart. Where we picked up some nair type stuff.
I thought nothing of this purchase in my blind ignorance. I thought one of the girls needed the stuff, she did grab it.

We proceeded to go to one of the girls houses we walk inside and I start walking for the bathroom. One of the girls says to me out of nowhere, "take your shirt off."
I reply, " I aint doin no funny buisness"
She laughs and says, "some hair needs to go"
"Ok fine."

We start with the chest and arms, some guys do their legs.
I havnt had this smoothe of skin since before puberty hit.

Sunday we meet up and I thought so this far how much it sucked to be a chick, I found out today it gets worse. I now appreciate all the time it takes for girls to get ready and I can understand why sometimes they are late because of this reason to look nice for us guys.

1.Makeup...20 minutes
2. Hair- it was a wig
3. Underwear- I wasnt wearing a thong or nothing, but they were sure skimpy and thin, not boxers thats for sure. They rode up my ass the whole night.
4. Bra- very uncomfortable, and the water balloons for boobs wasnt fun either. The only thing good about this is that I could stick my cigarettes and money in the space. Very convenient.
5. Money spent-roughly 60 dollars.

We head out to Wild Country and are met with stares from half the place.
One of the guys actually was mistaken for a girl a few times, he coulda fooled me too. If I would have been 20 yards from him and didnt hear his voice I would've been checking him out too if I didnt know the truth.

Tonight I was full of one liners, one for example- one of the waitresses I know there was dressed up and I asked her, joking of course. "Im a lesbian tonight, are you?" and laughed to make it obvious I was kidding. She roars with laughter.

Dressed up even, I still wanted to dance and got a few dances in. Lots of fun and I recieved some very funny looks, just guys that were jealous that a guy dressed up as a chick can get a girl on the floor even.

We go into the costume contest, the sexy category of course. And I figure out one thing.
STRIPPERS ARE MY WORST ENEMY.
All the girls that win the sexy contest are strippers by profession I learned.
If they wouldn't have been there we would have won.

We left after this dissapointment. It was a very fun night none the less.

Wild Country

2005-11-01T15:59:00.000-06:00

So I was at Wild Country enjoying myself, cold one in hand. Its the local dancehall-club. I like the place and hate it at the same time. I dont much care for the rap music but oh well.
Its 5 bucks to get in and beer is $1.75. In a night Ill spend roughly 10 bucks. Its cheaper then going to a movie and getting popcorn and pop.
I am sitting there minding my own buisness when I look over my shoulder and a girl is sittin there by herself. I walk up to her and say "lets go dance" she says "ok".
After talking to her for an hour Im like what the hell, might as well see if she wants to go to church with me on sunday. I ask her this and she replies, "sure."

The whole time Im thinking yeah right she is bullshitting me. I go her number and call her the next day, ask her if she remembered me. She was a bit drunk at the time. I ask her if she is still up fo church. Its a go. She comes with the next day.

I drop her off at home and go to the singles group. They ask me how I knew the girl that came with me today.
This is where I make a critical mistake. I told the truth.
I proceed to get attacked by two people at once, I feel like a deer that is in the final minutes of death here. Keep in mind here these are fundamental Baptists.
They ask me "why do I go there?" I told them "I like to go and dance."
why not try to get someone else in the cause while im there.
I dont pick up ass, ass does not come home with me. I dont get a phone number unless she is up for goin to church with me.
I see nothing wrong with this.
As long as I stick to what I know is right I see no trouble, if I see myself starting to stray Ill quit going.
They asked me, "would I bring Jesus to a place like that?" I shoot back "heck yeah I would"
The lady replies, "well I wouldnt". Then later on in the conversation tells me I need to whitness to more people.
At this moment the bullshit meter starts a climbing. Im starting to get defensive cause what I am hearing is pure unadultered bullshit. Im done with the conversation. "Im starting to smell a pharisee" comes into my mind.
These people will probably never look at me the same again but at this point I dont care.
(there is more dialoge that happened but this was the basic jist of it).

Raging Alcoholic

2005-10-19T20:53:00.000-05:00

I am taking some classes latly, what they are I cant say...military stuff thats all.
These classes are soo damn frustrating, if I had a month of these classes I would be a raging alcoholic by the end.
Talked to a girl the other night in my favorite resurante, Taqeria Mexico last night. She was real pretty, and an Israeli, was apart of the IDF (Israel Defense Force).
Went to Ft. Worth last weekend to see a cousin, nothing real special about the trip though, no good stories unfortunatly.

I wanted to post something bad tonight but....my mind is blank.
I read a quote today that pretty much explains why I still havnt had sex. Its not the best sounding but I told one of the guys it today and he laughed so here it goes.

"Having sex with a condom on is like porking a package of bacon, you know its wet and slippery inside, you just cant feel it. " so whats the point if you cant feel it.

I went to a single group last sunday, I walk over to the grill, didnt even walk inside the house and talk to the guy hosting the group. I look to the side and there is a girl checking me out already. Go figure. Singles groups are a quicksand pit Im learning. I have heard many stories about them. How gossip is status quo. I dont know what to think of this group yet, Im expecting the same but I may be surprised. Who Knows.

I went to McDonalds tonight, had a girl screaming in my ear, I went with the roomate, and when that happened, all I could think is....i shoulda ate mexican again tonight. I dont think I can get sick of the food, its just that good and cheap. (10 bucks an average meal for one)
Deffinatly cant complain about that, plus the waitress is teaching me spainish.
And is really pretty. And a cutthroat.
I asked her to go dancing with me one night and she stood me up.
I saw her a couple days later and she apologized, I wasnt happy but at least she had the balls to apologize. Good enough.

Dont be weak americans.

ANOTHER Maddox Repost

2005-10-12T15:32:00.000-05:00

That's right asshole, bag my groceries!
I was in a grocery store the other day when I noticed a familiar face behind the cashier. I could barely recognize the lumbering ape from behind his apron, but sure enough he was one of the dumbass jocks I went to highschool with. I see all that football he played really paid off. Mr. Bigshot jock-boy is bagging MY groceries. All that time spent running laps in gym... who'd have thought that it doesn't mean shit in the real world? I guess his prospective employers weren't as impressed with his ability to make a basket from the three-point line as much as his anorexic ex-girlfriend. Who's king now, chump?
Paper or Plastic?
More and more, I'm running into dumbass jocks I went to highschool with bagging my groceries, cleaning my dirty dishes and renting out my videos. They're the ones stuck doing shit work after being out of highschool for 4 years. Oh sure, they ate coal and shit diamonds when they were in highschool, acting all high and mighty with their rented limos and cheap perfume, taking their dates out to school dances and bragging about the sub-par action they had the following day, but now it's a different story. They're no longer rewarded for screwing off in class because they're on the school football team. They're no longer let out early to go run laps and throw baseballs. They're no longer favored by coach fill-in-the-blank that's teaching math instead of a real teacher. Nobody gives a shit anymore jock-boy, now BAG MY GROCERIES.

Every year in highschool, I had to pay somewhere on the order of $73 for registration, not counting $15 for the parking decal that didn't guarantee us a parking spot. Most of this fee went towards a general "activity" fee that covered sporting events (oooh, highschool football is no longer a pastime, but it's an 'event'), assemblies (with production values well below an average B movie) and school dances. Every student, regardless of his or her participation in these "events," was required to pay this activity fee. I wouldn't even bitch so much if our highschool football team didn't suck as bad as they did. I remember one year when they were brainwashing us with school-spirit propaganda, they showed us a video highlighting the football scores throughout the year. In one of the many games they were slaughtered in, the score was 37-0. We didn't even score a single damn point. What pisses me off most is that the majority of our "activity fee" went towards buying these dipshits new football uniforms. Here's a hint: I don't think it's the uniforms, you morons!

I can't help but snicker every time I see another bald, fat and impotent (you can tell just by looking at them) highschool jock mopping the floors in a bathroom. They'll never better themselves because they're just too damn stupid. When given the choice of academics or athletics, they chose athletics. They have nobody to blame but themselves. It's never too late for these dumbasses to pick up the pieces and get going, but they won't. They just don't have the ambition and they're too damn stupid. I can't emphasize this enough. Just too stupid.
It pisses me off that in highschool, while the jocks were being excused early to go practice football, they wouldn't excuse me to go program or work on animation or something else that someone in the real world might give a shit about.

We were forced to use 8086 monochrome IBM pieces of shit running DOS 5.0 using a Pascal compiler. If they would have even used a fraction of the budget they allotted for football on new computers, not even nice computers (hell, I'd have been content with a 386), maybe our school could have had a programming department that wasn't pure shit. Then again, the typing/writing/algebra/english teacher that they had filling in every other class couldn't tell assembler from her asshole in the first place.

Physical education is the biggest crock of shit in the universe. It doesn't do any good to anyone. How much money is blown in maintaining expensive gym equipment every year? Showers, locker rooms, bathrooms, basketball courts, football stadiums, baseball helmets.. all for what? Where's the payoff? Little Tommy's parents coming to the football game to cheer him on? Please. Throw that shit away. Nobody needs it. Nobody cares. It's completely worthless to anyone and everything. Even if one out of every 100 dumbasses who hoped to become professional made it big, it still doesn't justify the cost of all this equipment. Sports have no place in public schools, period. I don't care about football, baseball or hockey. You want to play, play on your own time. Let the others that come to school to learn get something done so they can make something of themselves. The notion that sports is allowed in public schools is preposterous. Why not devote a class to playing video games? What the hell good does it do? No more or less than sports. BAH.
72,351 dumbass jocks came to my page but left frustrated after not being able to read any of the words.

The Fair

2005-10-08T02:40:00.000-05:00

I went to the "Heart Of Texas Fair and Rodeo"
It was nice to get out, and I learned a few things from the experience.

1. Lesbians go to rodeo's
2. Rodeo's are called family friendly events.
3. Seeing two girls kiss at a rodeo...(keep in mind here, family friendly event) can hardly be called a family friendly environment. It was funny and disturbing at the same time.
4. Girls like when a guy blows 15 bucks to get them a suffed animal. Why?? I have no flippin clue. (Maria is just a friend but still, gotta make a girl feel special).
5. Even though we are just friends, a girls presence is nice, and taken for granted.
6.Ive never seen so many good looking girls in one place, and 3/4 of them were under age, and the ones that looked older I suspected of being under age so I just enjoyed the view.
7. My black wool coat feels great even though its too warm for 50 degree weather.
8.Tap beer is stronger.
9.Dont spend 20 dollars on a wristband, when the rides suck.
10.Only spend 20 dollars on a wristband if you know the girl is going to be a girlfriend, and you can make out on the farris wheel. (shes just a friend, this scenario did not happen)
11. Texas fairs still are better then Minnesota fairs.

Learning To Dance

2005-10-04T00:16:00.000-05:00

I found a new hobby today.
Dancing.
I love to do it, there is a freedom once I loosen up.
Plus I dont see a ton of guys that can dance decent. Which means I wanna be able to grab a girl and just go dance. Maybe its a cure for some of the things that have been going on here. A bit of lonelyness I suppose. Its nice to go out and just dance.
Keep in mind here.
When it comes to my feet I am damn uncordinated, and thats putting it nicely. I learn by muscle memory. Which means I am no natural at this. It takes a few dozen times then I am ok. But when I get on the floor I have fun which is the only thing that matters.
A few guys from the unit came with me one night and I was the only one of the group that could dance. That was nice Ill admit. Maybe thats why I want to be better still

Dont be weak Americans.
Guys that read this, dont learn to dance, it gives me more women to dance with, I need the practice.

Slowly Learning

2005-10-02T15:06:00.000-05:00

I was out dancing the other night, and saw this girl wearing a see through shirt. I secretly thought, man this girl....shes deffinatly out on the hunt tonight. I got talking to the group, and all of them were out because one pair was getting married, and she was the only single one there. She is the third wheel and feels out of place I can tell this by her body language.
Im learning things as I go.
Dont ask the girl to dance.
Just say, "Lets go dance"
Gives the girl less time to think.
Thinking is not good.
Shows that I am confidant.
Well, I grab the girl to dance and she follows along like a puppy.
As I am dancing she says "yeah I just got out of a 3 year relationship."
Basically that rings in my ears is" I want to talk to you more I need a man to go on the rebound."
I dont dance with her anymore, I go sit a few tables away in my perefreal vision she glances over at me from time to time.
I join some buddies there and we leave and go to Stetsons.

Figured Id post Something

2005-10-01T15:52:00.000-05:00

I am sitting in my room, watching "Lost" with my roomate while i am typing this. Talking to Tania and thinking about a wide varying subjects.

This week was horrible I couldnt believe how bad it was, I was down and depressed to put it nice. Things were just not goin good and goin downhill until Wednesday.

One thing funny I saw on Wednesday was our Leutenant cringe when the major called him to his office. Then he did the catholic cross sign on his chest before he walked up to his office. He knew he was in deep cow shit. You know your in deep with you do that.

Thursday went out dancing, lots of fun. Spent too much money this time but it was still fun.

Friday, go dancing again. Got dancing with a girl she told me she is single now just got out of a relationship. I am starting to pick up on these subtle cues from girls. that they want to talk more. Pretty thing I gotta say. Do I take the subtle cues and go talk more, not really. Im here to dance, I dont even ask for numbers much anymore. She wants to give it...give it...aint gonna ask for it much anymore.
I dont care.

The LAST of the adventure

2005-09-27T20:54:00.000-05:00

Coins are given out by higher ranking officers to other people as a show of appreciation for a good job done. Now, when you get to be higher up in the ranks, to get a coin is like a shopping at a a meat market, kiss the butchers ass enough and you will get a coin, but for a lower enlisted guy to get a coin is doing good. NO I DIDNT KISS ASS TO GET THE COIN. (LAUGHS)

To finish the New Orleans stuff because you all probably want to hear what is awsome mind.
Day 10
I got to drive a particular officer around, he just about threw a fit when his original driver wasnt around so I got delegated to do the job last minute. (Today this particular officer got the cry baby bitch award.) Seeing an officer that is 50 years old practically throw a fit over something so small was humorous to say the least.
One group I got to hear about in our sector is a bunch of peaceful black panthers that smoke ALOT of weed. Im sure they had a ball when the looting goin strong. There is also a local mercenary-militia group that is in our sector doing patrols. Good for them, If i was a civilian at that time down there I would have been with them protecting my area too.

Day 11
PACK UP
In the evening a C-130 flew over us real low spraying agent orange, I mean bug spray.
I heard some higher up say the stuff is safe. Yeah and I believe Micheal Jackson didnt molest kids. If I dont have kids later in life its because of this incident. or else walking outside when it was 60 below in my boxers.
If I grow an extra eye like blinky the fish on the Simpsons its this reason. If I grow a third nut that would be better though.More packing and more punch.

Later that night I went to chapel, then walked outside and walked up to a bunch of guys who I thought were enlisted. (By this time my contacts were fogged beyond belief) i go real close and look on the guys beret and it was a major. By this time it is too late and I say hello, some small talk for a minute and let the big dogs talk and smoke their cigars. I walk away to make a phone call and hear a voice yell to me
"Hey soldier, want a cigar?"
(HELL YEAH I WANT A CIGAR)
I reply "sure"
I didnt realize it was our Brigade Command Seargent Major Offering me this. I didnt even recognize him at first cause of my contacts.
So I go and sit down with the Division Seargent Major, our Brigade Commander and a couple of majors. They asked me a bunch of questions then proceeded to talk buisness I shouldnt have been hearing. Then got to talk to one of their drivers.

On our way back I rode with a Leutenant from 612 country, Minneapolis St Paul, got to talk hockey with him. Lots of fun, he likes 80's music so we listened to alot of it.

"how gay is this, 5 guys in a van singing along to Madonna?" That was the quote of the trip.

Part 4

2005-09-26T20:42:00.000-05:00

Day 8
Lindsey called, much needed. I appreciated her words of support. This city is very depressing as you can imagine, poverty everywhere, destruction everywhere, and the worst of all law enforcement everywhere. Today I woke up and bayou was gone. Master sgt said the dog had to go. Last night I took him out for a walk and tried to pick up army girls with a cute dog. Not many good looking army girls to be found so the search was ended but it was nice to go out and walk a dog in the middle of this. I enjoyed it while it lasted. Then after that I got the chills and a fever. Dehydration. Great...had to get an IV put in me.
Today Master Sgt Welch grabbed me and I accompanied them to the air craft carrier Iwo Jima, got to see Marine One, the presidents helicopter. News today I heard was a marine sniper killed a guy that was posing a threat to people. I saw two Carnival cruise ships today, the help came too little too late. Most everyone is gone that needs to be evacuated.
Driving through the French Quarter now, the cleanup has proceeded and alot of the trash is gone but the smell is still around.
Stopped at the superdome also, Waterline is evident, down the road a few blocks standing water can be seen though.
Heard that a K9 unit looking for bodies was being transported on boats and obviously drank a little bit of water cause both of the dogs were dead in 2 hours. Thats how toxic the water is.
Also heard on the radio that the FEMA director resigned, that was of no surprise.

Day 9
By far the best day of this deployment. Was able to get away from base and help pass out food water and ice. media is covering mostly the downtown section, not covering the rest of the city, I am hardly surprised. Recieved a brigade coin for helping pass food and water out. Got to talk to the commander of our brigade for a little while, very interesting. I was happy just to be able to get out and help though. Spirits are very high. met one Christian lady and was able to talk to her for a half an hour, its nice to meet family in the middle of chaos. I hear we might be heading out soon, I dont think we should go yet but I guess I dont wear the eagle on my beret.

There was a Japanese news crew covering not the hurricane stuff but the Mardi Gras celebration preparations, I'd day they were out of the loop a little bit. This is normal Im learning for the media to be clueless fools but this goes well beyond anything Ive ever seen.

Overflights by the helicopters have slown down immensely, obviously they are finding fewer and fewer people among the flood waters.

Part 3

2005-09-22T17:50:00.000-05:00

Day 4
I drove for the Colonel. (The commander of our Battallion)
Very interestin to see everything in our sector. Roughly we are covering a 2 by 2 mile area. Fisher Projects have given us plenty of trouble. A police LT was shot at and the ATF was called in and did a sweep of the place.
The night before scouts in an OP whitnessed a drug deal going down. Police called and hit the wrong house. Way to go idiots. (Talked to a local lady later about this subject and found out this is common occurance in this area, the cops either dont want to deal with the dealers, or else scenario 2, drug money is someway finding its way into the pockets of cops to keep the heat off of the dealers. )

Day 5
Stayed around base and did normal duties, anything from running messages to going out of wire to bring soldiers back to their perspective forward operating bases. Took a shower today. Morale today is very poor, very discouraged, guys talked about ther wives and got me thinking about all that.

Day 6
In the Tactical Operations Command it seems like at times what you are doing isnt important. Morale today is going downhill faster. This has to end. Found out today 5 guys from 82nd Airborne in a boat in flood zone tipped over, going too fast probably. They are in quarinetine. The water is very toxic accross the river in the flood zone. Unkown what is in the water, that is the scary part. No flooding in our side though. We still have water pressure and power is present in 25 percent of our sector. People have been offering our patrols beer and ice. I would take it.
Went to church later in the evening, that was much needed. Tried calling Matt, he said he would call back, that never happened, go figure.
(IF YOU SAY YOUR GOING TO CALL BACK ,DO IT) DONT BE A FUCKING JACKASS LIKE ALOT OF AMERICANS. I almost took matts number off my phone.

Day 7
Sgt Cook found a dog so I delegated myself to take care of it. Black chow mixed with something else. Nice dog, I took him for a walk, named him Bayou since we were in bayou country. Its amazing what a dog can do to lift spirits.
Two bodies have been found in our sector, one mugging reported also. One body is a person the police shot and left as an example. Ironically the police have done some looting themselves. One of our guys told me that he was offered tobbacco and anything else that he wanted. Wierd to see pure chaos for myself.

Part 2

2005-09-19T20:16:00.000-05:00

Drove with a Peterbuilt (18 wheeler) into hammond LA that night after we fixed the HMMMV
Our fuel state prevented us from driving there and to New Orleans. At one truck stop we saw a girl standing alone, my seargent told me I should go pick up the "lot lizzard." I told him I will...and I walked up to her and the rest of the guys were behind me watching....I walked up to her and talked to her for a bit and walked back...and acted like I tried to pick her up the whole time...it was funny, pulled a good act on them.

The next day...This was my first time driving a HMMMV. I was pretty nervous I gotta admit, driving on a 4 lane highway and heading into New Orleans.Hammond Air Force Base where much of the staging was going on to enter New Orleans is a mess, I could tell that FEMA was skrewing the pooch on this one before the news reports had came out. I havnt heard much for news but I can tell that the government is up a creek.

Entering New Orleans
The destruction was pretty bad, I didnt get to see much of the flooding but from the winds and stuff it still was bad. Traffic was horrible too. We had to drop off a couple guys in the french quarter (where Bourbon Street is located). This is where it gets messy, the streets were full of garbage and the smell of sweage and the sweeter smells of death were intertwined.
I didnt see any bodies though. The wickedness of the place was overwhelming.
Our sector on the west bank of New Orleans, a place called Algiers Point is in fairly decent shape, the levee's held up and there is no flooding. Lots of power poles are tipped to the side and many lines are down, a few areas still have power though farther to the west.
We have taken the west bank, directly opposite from the french quarter. We are staged at a Naval Reserve Base. As I was driving in I saw the Marine carrier "Iwo Jima".
And another naval ship is docked right by us. The helicopter flights going over us are insane at this point, I can see 2 to 3 helicopters over us at any moment.

Big Easy (New Orleans) Wasnt Easy

2005-09-18T13:08:00.000-05:00

The First 6 days of this log are events written from memory. Lack of sleep, pure busyness, and a slight case of insanity on my part blured the recount. This log will be in a few parts though, not in one posting.

My experience in New Orleans wasnt as bad as others, I did not get to see any bodies, I did not get shot at, though I did hear a few gunshot. Much order had been restored by the time we had gotten there. But to see the efects of pure chaos in a country where law and order had been the standard seen to me until this point was a look into the future of this country I am afraid and I didnt like what I saw. I do think our country needs to go through someting like this on a larger scale, yes people would die, and if i was one of them I would welcome it with open arms knowing that it would bring this great land to its knees and back to God and back to the glory. This experience made me start reading my Bible more, for the fear of gods wrath, which I believe I saw this past two weeks. This may sound extreme, and it is but I believe its the truth. The wickedness of this city brought this disaster upon itself. Bourbon Street.

Day One:
Woke up at 3 in the morning, Hanna a private was being a noisy bastard outside my room, told him to shut up so I could get to sleep cause I had to wake up early. he mouthed off to me and I pushed him and told him. "Your on my deck, my rules" Proceeded to mouth off so I went inside to get dressed and get cq to escort him off my deck. Hard time getting to sleep after that fray though.
Woke up at three and met seargent Johnson and went to the Hmmmv.
7 am. 2 star general walks up to me, I saluted him and he started talking to me. He asked me "where are you from?"
I replied "Northern Minnesota sir"
he replied, "do you like the sports up there?"
I replied "Hell no sir, I cant pray enough to make the Vikings win and the owner of the Twins is a cheap ass, I like hockey though you cant find any other sport where you can use your hip and check someone into a wall"
2 star general left laughing his ass off.
One of my co-workers said," wow ive never talked to a 2 star before."
I replied, "I have"
There was more that happened in the conversation, my lack of sleep had blurred my memory of these events some.

Convoy takes off.

Starter problems at first stop. This is not good and it only get worse.

2nd stop
I notice oil leaking on right weel of HMMV. Deadline leak, we cant go any farther.We proceed to get left at the truck stop and for the next 3 days our company, brigade and diision goes nuts trying to look for us. They have no idea where we are after this point.
It was sunday today so I read my bible for a little bit, this was my church for the day.
We got picked up and dropped off at a national guard armory.
That day went to a mall and there was nothing but latina girls.
I WAS IN HEAVEN.
I was in uniform and got checked out like a piece of new york strip.

Next day fixed the HMMMV. Thank God for Mr. Dahle and Mr. Krueth for shop class in high school. Some complicated stuff me and a master seargent figured out.

Prisoner of War

2005-09-17T22:51:00.000-05:00

SCHELL, RICHARD JOHN
Name: Richard John SchellRank/Branch: O3/US ArmyUnit: HHC, 4th Infantry Division
Date of Birth: 26 July 1944 (Wabasha MN)
Home City of Record: Minneiska MN
Date of Loss: 24 August 1967Country of Loss: South Vietnam
Loss Coordinates: 141813N 1075140E (ZA087831)
Status (in 1973): Missing In ActionCategory: 4Acft/Vehicle/Ground: UH1HRefno: 0811 Source: Compiled from one or more of the following: raw data from U.S.Government agency sources, correspondence with POW/MIA families,published sources, interviews. Updated by the P.O.W. NETWORK in 1998. Other Personnel in Incident: Richard M. Allard; Kenneth B. Goff; Ronald L.Holtzman (all missing); Dayton Witherall; Richard N. Morrison; John R. Ulp;Cynthia Colburn (all rescued); Sterling A. Wall (killed, body recovered)

REMARKS: SYNOPSIS: On August 24, 1967, WO Dayton Witherall, pilot; WO Richard N.Morrison, aircraft commander; SP4 Richard L. Holtzman, gunner; SP4 RichardM. Allard, crewchief; 2Lt. Kenneth B. Goff, 2Lt. Richard J. Schell, Sgt.Major John R. Ulp, 1Lt. Sterling A. Wall, and Miss Cynthia Colburn,passengers; were aboard a UH1C helicopter (serial #66-12526) which departedPolei Kleng, South Vietnam to Plei Krong, South Vietnam on a combat supportliaison mission. The 4th Infantry, with the assistance of the 25th Infantry Division and 1stCavalry (Airmobile), was at that time conducting an operation called PaulRevere IV, a continuing effort near the Cambodian border of Pleiku Province.

The UH1H flying over Pleiku Province that day in August 1966 was flying outof Pleiku, where its crew and passengers were stationed. (NOTE: While the U.S. Army and describes the flight mission ascombat-related, it also acknowledges that Ms. Colburn was on the aircraft, asituation which was "illegal", as women serving in Vietnam were not supposedto be placed in combat situations. It is not clear in public record why shewas on the aircraft, although Phyllis Allard, Richard Allard's mother, hassaid that the aircraft was carrying passengers enroute from a hospital andthat Colburn was a Red Cross worker.) During the flight, the pilot elected to fly low-level along the Dak BlaRiver.

While attempting a 180 degree turn, the aircraft failed to recoverand was caught in a severe downdraft and crashed into the Krong Bo Lah Riverin about 10 feet of water at a point where the current was swift and thewater was deep. (NOTE: loss coordinates place the site of lossunquestionably on the Se San River about 15 miles southwest of the city ofKontum, and about 28 miles due south of the city of Dak To. Just south ofDak To is the juncture of the Se San and another river.

Whether at thisjuncture the two rivers have other names cannot be determined with materialson hand at the time of this writing. Information provided by family membersstates that the aircraft landed in the "bottomless, rapid Boc River calledDak Bla".) Rescue helicopters arrived 10 - 45 minutes after the crash and rescued WOMorrison, WO Witherall, Ms Colburn and Sgt. Major Ulp, after their havingbeen swept several hundred feet downstream. 2Lt. Goff, SP4 Allard and 2Lt.Schell were not seen by any of the survivors after the crash. SP4 Holtzmanwas seen by WO Morrison, who stated that Holtzman was wearing a flightjacket, armor plate, and a flak jacket, and called out to Morrison that hecould not swim. WO Morrison stated that Holtzman drifted away in the swiftcurrent before he could help him. Later searches of the area revealed several pieces of debris, but theaircraft itself was not found. In September, Lt. Wall's body was retrievedfrom the river. Searches were conducted through December 26, but neither theaircraft nor the four missing men aboard it were found. Richard Allard's mother received a collect call from Cambodia a few daysafter the crash by someone she believed was Richard. She subsequently hadthe call checked by Illinois Bell and states that the results "producedevidence that they [the crew] were in the hands of the enemy". In 1970 shesaw a prisoner on television in a Viet Cong film which she believed wasRichard. The Army was elusive in its conclusions on both events, so Mrs.Allard borrowed money from friends to go to Cambodia in January of 1972. Through a series of events which belong in a spy novel, Mrs. Allard saidthat she found herself in a cave where she was blindfolded and led into abare room. An official and a soldier came in with her son. In the moments hewas allowed to stay, he said,

"Shame on you for coming." He apparently wasafraid for his mother's safety. The Army later said they couldn't believeMrs. Allard's account unless the Communists corroborated it in writing. Mrs.Allard has worked continually for 22 years for information about her son. In 1969, a communist defector was shown a number of photographs of missingmen. One of the photos he identified positively as being a prisoner of warwas Richard Schell. The U.S. could not determine why the photo was selected. Clearly, all the evidence is not in on the events of August 24, 1967.Whether Mrs. Allard's story is true is unknown. Whether Allard and Schellwere truly prisoners can only be known by the communists, and of course,Allard and Schell themselves. The Vietnamese deny any knowledge of any of the four missing.

What is a Cowboy?

2005-08-30T14:55:00.000-05:00

Here is my personal opinion on a Cowboy.
It isnt a matter of what he dresses in, or what he looks like, red or yellow black or white they are precious in his sight..Jesus loves the little children of the world....
Anyways, back to subject matter.
Here is a Cowboy, anyone who goes against the norms of society.
Does most of society know how to ride bulls? ride horses or rope steers? NO Then you are a Cowboy.
Do most people before sports event bow their heads in prayer..or get on one knee?...NO, NASCAR YOU DONT COUNT.

Can most American people track a deer for more then a half a mile....NO.

I dont wear a belt buckle yet, (havnt found one I have liked) Do most people wear a belt buckle?NO. If they do, do they wear one the diameter is big enough to place a four course meal on it and have leftovers after? NO

Does your mainline population have the ability to fit a pair of huge balls, like mine, and many other Cowboys into a tight pair of jeans? NO

These things set Cowboys apart, but to really be a Cowboy in my opinion, its a thing of the heart.
We often get poked fun at for our hat, its our honor, that we can shake off the dust and keep goin even when hurt, its a symbolism of stubbornness and grit....to keep goin when the times get tough. Not everyone wears a hat like that so we stick out, on the outside and on the inside. It just shows we have an independant spirit, a restless spirit. One that doesnt want to be fenced up in an office, or put out to pasture. Thats why we will put up a fight if someone takes our hat, its like messing with us personally.

As with anything there are good Cowboys and bad ones, but you know a good one when you see him. he usually likes kids. He is a bit restless even when resting, wants to be on the go all the time. When he goes to work he wants to be working and doing something productive.
He is fiercely independant and has a rough side to him, which has to be overlooked at times.
But most of all he is a Christian under that hat. He is fiercly loyal and wont give up on ones he considers friends, even when they have given up on him. he is probably a bit of a loner and distant at times, because of rejection. But still has a good heart under that hat. Ive met many Christian Cowboys, and most of them carry alot of these characteristics.

My dad aint a Cowboy in the sense that he wears the hat and all that, but In his heart, he is a Cowboy. Grandpa was the same way.

Monday Night

2005-08-29T23:04:00.000-05:00

Saying up late talking to Jeannabelle...(I know she will read this)
Very awsome girl.
And the anticipation of rodeo, and getting my ass stomped into the texas clay tommorrow.
The smell of the brahma bull feel leather in his hand,
its the ropes and the reigns , the joy and the pain they call the thing rodeo.

Hmmn, dont have a whole lot on my mind tonight
Except the job I will be doing, driving
I am responsible for 3 mens lives, thousands of dollars worth of vehicle and equipment.
What a challenge.
I will be praying tonight.
Dont Be Weak Americans

Tuesday Night Lights

2005-08-24T21:12:00.000-05:00

Jarrell Texas, The town that a few years ago got decimated by a huge tornado is home to one of the coolest rodeo arena's ever. And I get to ride there.

Got on two last night, didnt get 8 seconds but I came darn close. And darn close to getting decimated too. The count of ulls I have been on is 6 this summer so far. It would be interesting if I could get on 20 or 30 by the time we go to Iraq. Last night was quite interesting, I did a couple things different, it was totally new so I wasnt too comfortable with it, but on the second time I really liked the style that I was just begining to develop. Give me a couple months and I should turn into a fine rider.

Today at work I found out what job I am doing, I am driving Hmmvee for our second in command of our Battallion. Should be interesting and hopefully it will be good experience all around. I have to go talk to our XO (executive officer) the one I am driving for on Friday, find out what he is all about, what he likes and doesnt like, being we will be in a vehicle alot Im sure it will be a unique experience. Not without its challenges though.

Another One (matt came up with this one)

2005-08-22T23:11:00.000-05:00

Lies girls have told the Cowboy and Matt Herberg

"you're too nice of a guy for me"

Lie...
translation: i'm gonna go find some bad guy who is no "badder" then you but he's got a nice car and has nice clothes. If Im so nice then why dont you go for it.

"I just wanna be friends"

Lie....this comment is pure unadultered bullshit
They just want a guy that treats them like the pieces of shit they are...u just never realized that they were pieces of shit until after the fact. Then a month later after they ignore you, they come crying to you cause after you asked them out they went out with a total jackass and got treated like horse shit...and expect you to listen to ther problems, you give them a solution, drop the bastard like your dropping a deer at a hundred yards. They ignore your advice totally and proceed to listen to their feelings and go back to the fella......"she loves him"....whatever...I think they like getting treated bad sometimes...its an addiction or something.
Ive had this example happen to me a few times.....

"he is so immature"

Lie. ..ok partial truth.....your also immature too so you stay with him and put up with it, yet you do the majority of the bitching in the relationship cause you think your the mature one. When in reality he is only going out wth you cause your "hot" and only wants you as a trophy to show off to his buddies.he never notices your immaturity. Ths relationship will go down like the Titanic.

More Lies Girls Have Told Me (Got It From Maddox)

2005-08-22T17:27:00.000-05:00

MORE Lies Girls Have Told Me

"I don't go out on many dates..."
Lie. This one immediately sets off my bullshit detector. Why the hell do girls say this all the time? What do they want, my sympathy? I recently had the misfortune of talking to a girl that claimed she rarely went on dates.. yet every night of the week she goes dancing and hangs out with dipshits at the club. Hmm... going out, hangin around with guys.. sounds like the equivalent of a date to me, jackass.

These new pants are giving me a rash between my legs..."
Lie. No, your inability to keep your legs closed for five minutes is giving you a rash between your legs. There's a girl I talked to that told me this; she said that she couldn't go dancing because she had a rash between her legs:
GROSS!
It just so happens that she's a super-bitch too. I'll just call her Crotch-Rash for short (to conceal her identity--not that it matters, anyone can follow the trail of nasty-nast she leaves behind to find out who she is). Maybe if Crotch-Rash didn't jump on everything that moved, she wouldn't be in the situation that she's in. Silly Crotch-Rash, pull your head out of your ass.

(This one is the truth)
"I think you're really cool, let's hang out some time..."
Lie. This one translates to "I have no intention of calling you or hanging out with you, but I'm too much of a coward to tell you the truth, so I'll lead you on for a couple of weeks while you put your life on hold for me in case I actually stop being the indecisive bitch that I am and I give you a straight answer." Like I don't have anything better to do than to sit around and wait for your dumbass to call me. I'm so sick of inconsiderate hags that act like they're doing me a favor by gracing me with their BORING-ASS conversations on the phone. Tell you what super-bitch, just forget it.

"All I want is a nice guy that will make me feel special, that will listen to me and love me forever..."
Lie. She left off the part about "and a guy that will have plenty of raunchy sex with me because that's all most girls are really looking for, but we're too shallow to admit that to you because we want to keep this 'virgin-girl' image we have going on and we don't want to sound too slutty, so we're going to pretend that all the nice guys we've met so far haven't fit the bill when in reality, they've treated us infinitely better than any guy we could ever hope to meet at a club downtown." I've said this before and I'll say it again:GIRLS DON'T WANT NICE GUYS. END OF STORY.
I know there are SOME out there that do.. the ratio of honest girls that want nice guys to sleazy girls that are in it for money and sex is very small, if not non-existant. However, I won't consider this possibility at this time.

Almost every guy that goes to a club goes there for one reason: ass. More often than not, they get it. Way to go champ, you got laid, now wipe off the disease and try your luck again. That's all they want and girls aren't so stupid as to not realize this, but they want to make it sound like they're perpetual victims that can't find the elusive "nice guy." Why don't you actually TRY LOOKING for one, you moron? That's like a guy trying to find a "nice girl" by cruising the streets downtown. You tread the grounds of prostitutes, so don't complain that all you have to show for it is a yield of whores. I'm so sick and tired of girls giving the false impression that they want a nice guy; this is only true for women in their 30's that have already spent a decade getting their brains screwed out and now they're finally pulling their heads out of their ass and they're looking for a decent guy to settle down with. It's not going to happen moron, you blew your chance. I see girls fall for bad guys every day. I see girls abused, cheated on and insulted in public ALL THE TIME. What the hell is wrong with them? They think that there's something wild and untamable about bad guys that's attractive? WAKE UP. WAKE UP. You're getting abused, hurt, murdered and taken advantage of. Holy shit, how can people be so stupid?

Is there no end to the barrel of stupid they drink?

"I'm not really seeing anyone..."
Lie. "...except for Jack, but he's just a friend.. and then there's Charlie, but it's nothing more than sex. I'm kind of seeing Rupert on the side, but he has two kids and I don't know if I want to be tied down by kids right now.. then there's Eddie, but he's a mechanic.. oh he's so hot, but I can't settle down with someone like him because he has no future and I need commitment .. John .. Jacob .. Mark .. blah blah blah blah blah" SOMEBODY TURN HER OFF. You want to find a guy, yet all you do is talk about other guys. Great move dipshit. No wonder you can't find anyone. Here's a hint: quit sleeping around. Maybe someone will eventually respect you enough to treat you more than just a sex object

Sorry I didn't call, my uncle was sick and there wasn't a phone in the hospital and I thought that maybe your pager battery died so I didn't bother paging you to tell you to not wait for me all day..."
Lie. Translation: I went drinking with my girlfriend and my mom. Oh, you didn't know I had a girlfriend? Oh yeah, well I'm bi and we've been seeing each other on and off (in more ways then one) True Story

Maddox, you rule if you ever see this blog...
and yeah, Ive had a couple of those lies said to me a few times, thats why I like this fella.

Almost Punched an LT

2005-08-22T13:15:00.000-05:00

I had an interesting weekend to say the least.
I was out dancing at the local dancehall-bar, one of my leutenants walks up behind me and grabs my hat (didnt take it let me clarify) but he was messing with it, I whip around and identify the target before I throw the punch and recognize him. It was a close one, almost cold cocked him.

I go over to a buddys house, drink beer and eat mexican food,mmm..good.

Go back home, I see some guys sitting in the tailgate of the truck, go over there and grab a beer, there was one girl with them..Proceed to walk about 30 yards away and take a piss that took forever. Girl runs over there and sees what I am doing,(wanting to see my gear) I whip my pecker in my pants, zip them up and walk away. She wanted to do some funny buisness, could tell by the look on her face. ACCESS DENIED
BDUBS arent cool. (BW'S) Barracks whores.

I walk in my room and my roomate is throwing a mini party, I proceed to drink, didnt want to but had to do some male bonding.....hour later and drunk.....I puke and go to bed. I dont like getting drunk at all but this was an exception. No girls were around so that was fine with me, i dont drink a whole lot when girls are around, the protector in me comes out.

Sunday I go out to eat and try to recover from being dehydrated, no hangover though.

2005-08-16T21:00:00.000-05:00

This is your soldier

join the army, your wit will suffer

2005-08-14T15:22:00.000-05:00

I finally got a computer so you will see a little more of me on here hopefully.

Dear blggers, though serving your country is noble, and will get you free drinks, which to some would be worth the trouble. Though has its consequences.

HEALTH WARNING:If you plan on keeping your wit, dont join the army. You are in a high stress environment at times, your wit will suffer damage that may or may not return.

I feel like a dull bastard latly, trying to bring that back though.
Since I was messing with the computer yesterday, I was pretty busy but made a trip to the local Mcdonalds to get a bite to eat and watch the locals hang out, eat, make drug deals...ect.
The local Killeen Mcdonalds is good for doing that. Its pretty entertaining, watch one little baggy get passed to someone, and money go to the other person. Naturally, they try to be half sneaky by this. Doesnt work.
Most of the people who work there are minorities of some sort, so naturlly me, wearing the cowboy hat, tight jeans, I am now in the minority. I now know what it feels like to be outnumbered. So all racist comments have to be down to a minimum and said in a low wisper for the fear of getting beat like rodney king.
When a black man wants to fight it aint one on one, Ive found. You have to be outnumbered 4 to 1 at least. Then he and his homies will proceed to kick your ass cause chances are in his favor. It really isnt right.
Mcdonalds bothers me for some reason, its like they pander to the minorities because of the threat for not being sensitive enough, you dont see a single white man or white girl picture in the damn place. Plus on the cups they dont know how to speak proper english, I'm lovin it.
Properly said its Im loving it. Sounds real hip and cool.
We saw a couple girls all dressed up, they met this one fella on a blind date it looked like cause the look on ther faces was a one of..."what the hell have we done."
Priceless

Planned Parenthood superhero terminates Christian protestersCharacter also drowns promoter of abstinence in animated video pushing 'safe is sexy' message
Posted: August 8, 20054:08 p.m. Eastern
By Ron Strom© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

An online animated video sponsored by Planned Parenthood's San Francisco-area branch features a superhero character drowning an abstinence promoter in a trash can and blasting into oblivion several pro-life picketers protesting in front of one of the organization's facilities.

The eight-minute "A Superhero for Choice," posted on the Planned Parenthood Golden Gate website, has a bespectacled black woman in San Francisco morphing into a red-suited flying enforcer, bent on making the world safe for the organization's values.
Viewers see three teenagers talking with an ugly green-faced man sporting a top hat and bow tie who tries to tell the kids abstinence is the only sure way to protect against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. The teen girl rebuts the man, naming several birth-control methods.
Retorts the little green man: "Those are instruments from the devil's toolbox!"

The superhero arrives in time to fill a trash can with water and dump the pro-abstinence character into it, slamming the cover down. After the man's muffled voice eventually dies off, the superhero tosses the teens a "safe sex kit," reminding the kids: "Safe is sexy!"
The "Superhero for Choice," dubbed Dianisis, next confronts a group of protesters in front of a Planned Parenthood facility. They, too, are ugly and have green faces, carrying signs that say, "Pray for thy sins."

The superhero character uses a "condom gun" that catches each protester in a prophylactic bubble, which subsequently explodes. Though she admits the protesters have a First Amendment right to picket, she glories in the fact that people can now visit the Planned Parenthood facility unimpeded.
The flying superhero then travels to Washington, D.C., where she puts a giant condom on the Washington Monument and confronts a Southern senator who is stricken with "misinformed conservatism."
The woman's final stop is a village in Africa, where she talks to a doctor working to stem HIV/AIDS and to make sure "every child is a wanted child." The superhero remarks before leaving: "I have an appointment with the Rev. Jerry Falwell – that schmuck."
Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League's STOPP International, decried the Planned Parenthood animated piece.
"With its latest marketing gimmick … Planned Parenthood is glamorizing violence against people of faith," Sedlak said in a statement. "The hatred and religious bigotry demonstrated by Planned Parenthood in this video are shocking and offensive."
Sedlak says the video could encourage people to act out the violence shown.
"In this post-9/11 era of terrorism, Planned Parenthood has recklessly crossed the line by promoting violence against people who do not share the organization's radical beliefs," said Sedlak. "Planned Parenthood's actions are reprehensible, because there is no guarantee that someone viewing this video might not act on its suggestions and instigate violence against people of faith."
Commented blogger Dawn Eden: "Now, I ask you, if the American Life League's website featured a cartoon depicting an ALL superhero blowing up nonviolent Planned Parenthood activists, would Planned Parenthood just shrug it off?
"I think we all know what would happen. There would be an uproar."

"This video is absolutely outrageous," said Douglas R. Scott, president of Life Decisions International, in a statement. "Pro-life men and women are depicted as evil and stupid. It sends a message to teenagers that it is acceptable to eliminate those who disagree. It is also riddled with misinformation about birth control, abortion, and sexual activity."
American Life League wants heads to roll over the video.
Said Sedlak: "American Life League demands that Planned Parenthood publicly reveal the names of all persons involved in the development and posting of this outrageous material and immediately dismiss all individuals involved from their positions as employees or volunteers. We also demand that Planned Parenthood issue a public apology without delay to pro-life Christians everywhere for inciting violence against them."
While Planned Parenthood refers countless women for abortions across the nation, the word "abortion" is not mentioned in the film.
Planned Parenthood Golden Gate is a consortium of eight clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. Repeated calls to the organization's administrative offices were not returned by press time.

Two stepping in Texas

2005-08-01T18:31:00.000-05:00

Last weekend was fairly interesting, the last rodeo I was at I was on the road for 10 hours that weekend, being by myself for that long kinda sent me downhill mentally for a couple weeks. A man shouldnt be alone on the road that much. This weekend changed that and the ole Cowboy is back to normal, took a good talking to by Dad to help me out though.

Last Friday I went two stepping in in Austin, wow I had so much fun, I hadnt done that since I learned at a Chris LeDoux concert a year ago, God Bless Chris LeDoux.
A older lady (35 years old) I had met on a previous scouting of Austin invited me to this hole in the wall place, cool lady, glad I met her.
A few more times that I get to go do it and I will be good enough to go two stepping at that abominable place called wild country in killeen here, they try to come off as a country bar but they play half rap. If it was my choice that place should be zeroed in on the artillery and blown to bits. Shot Over!

Then I went to austin Saturday night and went to the clubs, see a girl glance at you a couple times then I usually scoot over there , put the cowboy hat on her and 9 times 10 of you can dance with her. Lots of fun.
Ive seen the captain of our S-3 shop twice while I was clubbing, scares the shit out of me every time, I look behind me and he is dancing. Guess he is trying to learn a little charm from me. hahahah.
Also ate at a Mexican resturant, little hole in the wall, food is cheap and good. One Waitress doesnt speak english all that well and I dont know spainish so it was awkward, got her phone number, hoping she can teach me some spainish if anything, not expecting anything to come of it.

Was pretty sore after last Tuesday so this weekend I didnt bullride, oh well. I needed to heal up. If i would have rode I would have ripped up the groin muscle, didnt want that. I got the picture in the mail of the Taylor Texas ride and it was a good one. That made my day getting it.

By the way on a very short note, I swear you guys are prophetic, me and the girl didnt work out, she sent the Cowboy to pasture. It was for the better though I think. That happened on Saturday night and after I kinda got word I went and celebrated with some dancing, didnt feel too bad about it. It was coming. Just like you guys said.
Soon I should be getting a computer so some of you all that post comments on here Id love to add you to messenger of some sort.

Dont be weak Americans.

About me

2005-07-27T17:39:00.000-05:00

Rode a couple practice bulls yesterday, lots of fun. Didnt get too hurt and only cost me 20 bucks.

I was thinking about this the other day how I grew up, figured Id write it down.
I got saved when I was 9, Grandma told me about Jesus and what he did, I was thinking about it one night and figured I might as well start believing the same stuff, if my grandma believed it it had to be true you know? Felt like my chest had gotten ripped open and something came inside, I didnt know it was the holy spirit at the time but I do nowI knew I was different from then on.Heck I cried cause it felt good, didnt know what it was but it was good.Funny stuff.

That first year college of school I was in full rebellion, that rebellion had started in 11th grade. 2001 came the troubles, mentor moved away, that hurt real hard, me and him were real tight. A week later me and Dad got into one nasty fight I tell you and I was pissed. Thats when I read "wild at heart" the first time and i knew why my dad blew up on me,after that fight I didnt talk to my Dad for 4 months. that book saved my faith at the time but I was hanging on threads, If I wouldnt have had my best friend over that day that he blew up I would have ran away. Me being the excelent woodsman could have survived a month, woulda been sweet and I kinda wish I woulda done it just to see if I could have.
then I got kicked out of youth group for very minor reasons, I basically disagreed with some of their teachings and I told them that.
The rebellion and bitterness by then was in full swing and there was no stopping it.

Started smoking and chewing right after I got kicked out of the youth group. My own way of telling everyone to fuck off. Mom would take away my cans of dip, Id go buy more until she gave up, it was a game of tug of war that I would win. By the time I was a senior I didnt want to have anything to do with being a Christian, matter of a fact I knew I was still one and at times I wish I wasnt cause my concience would bother me so much at times. I didnt want to have a thing to do with Christians after all the backstabbing I had seen, I still am wary of them to be honest.

At college I went to church maybe twice that whole school year, I was pissed and bitter, felt abandoned and I had to make myself go there. To put it nicely I was a scoundrel that year, full swing rebellion. I pused the limits farther then I like to admit, not proud of it cause I hurt a couple people. Had a girlfriend for a short time and I was a total jerk,basically used her, not proud of it and I learned my lesson thank God. I vowed to never pull anything stupid like what I did again after that.
After that first year of college I started coming around some, read the whole new testament when I was in basic training, I saw a couple miracles happen, didnt have any friends at basic training but the good lord had my back. That was one miracle in itself, I did more praying then I did talking to the other guys, just didnt like them or trust them. It was a training time for my soul, reading the bible, when I was at basic training.
After I got back from basic training I was bored stiff, and I wondered why I didnt go active duty for some reason, I missed being busy alot. well, Im active duty now and yeah Im pretty busy alot, I dont mind it though. Its a love hate thing I suppose. The guys are great that I work with for the most part. Thats the best part about it.

now, I go to church some, I still have to make myself go, I just dont feel alive sitting and listening to a sermon, and Im not the most trusting of christians so I tend to be pretty quiet in church. If Last week I was in austin and I was talking to a guy and he wasnt doing so hot, I got to know him for a bit then told him about the bible and all that stuff. That is a church service to me, thats how I worship him is by spreading the word, not praising him by singing, the new music doesnt really come from my heart so I dont sing alot, give me an old hymn and that stuff comes from the heart to me so Im thrilled to sing a hymn in church, They call the music praise and worship, When I get the opportunity to tell some stranger about him. That will make my day. To me thats how I get to praise and worship the Lord. I know I still have alot of bitterness inside, me and my Dad had a talk about it and it took him many years to get over his bitterness.I took the same road as him in many respects.And experiences too.

Me and him are so much alike, I was telling him alot of this stuff and he had been there and done that also, first person I knew that truly felt like I did kinda freaky but Im so much like him I wasnt to surprised. I am just trying not to make the same mistakes he made. I am proud of him, you dont hear me talk about my mom alot, there are other reasons for that. But I do talk about my dad alot, he is cool. Moms great but, Dad is way cooler, I can talk to him much easier.

Thats a small part of my story.

Christian Girls

2005-07-21T18:54:00.000-05:00

I dont like to complain a whole lot, but this subject has been bothering me for some time.
Ok...a really friggin long time, ok.
Here is the jist of it. I have been a Christian for gosh....12 years now. Cant believe its been that long. Ive counciled at a bible camp , been kicked out of a youth group. Lots of stories over the years. But there is one subject that I dont like to bring up on here but its been bothering me for a very long time. Christian girls.
Right now I am in a long distance relationship with a girl in California. Is she a Christian, no.
I know the Bible says do not be equally yoked. Ive heard this one for years.
But there is one thing that has gotten me so pissed off when I get talking about this subject.

From what I have whitnessed...from my perspective. A Christian girl basically wants a guy that is a perfect Christian, which basically means he minds his manners and is really nice, really nice basically means doesnt put up a fight against something that isnt right, doesnt rock the boat.
Or she gets this kind of guy.
This guy is a prick who shouldnt be living in this county but instead be in a jail in Guantonamo Bay Cuba for the crimes he hasn't committed yet, but will commit against this girl and she lets him get away with it (because she loves him...whatever that means.) until someone smart enough practially whoops her ass chewing her out to wake the fuck up and see what this guy is about.Ive seen it time and time again. Yes you can see my cynicism leaching out of the computer screen. (now you can see why I was wondering if I should bring this subject up...I rock the boat now and then when needed, and I needed to hear someone elses opinions too.)

I dont mean to brag up myself or anything. I needed to vent.

Some of my best Christian buddies including myself that are neither of the two scenarios above have been passed up time and time again by women that go for either one of the two scenario's above. It makes a man wonder sometimes If any Christian girl wants a guy that isnt one of the two scenarios anymore. Thats why I am dating the girl I am now even though she isnt a christian.
She accepts me just the way I am, I like to chew a bit of tobacco, have a beer now and then and I enjoy a good bible study when I can. I love to rodeo and getting dirty and sore, and wearing the uniform of my country. I havnt been to a strip club yet and I never will go to one, they are disgusting and just a show of how morally corrupt our country has become and I will have nothing to do with it. I try to take a stand on stuff like that and Im proud of the way I have been raised to make an effort to be honest and have integrity. And telling someone they are doing the wrong thing and accepting the criticism if I am not doing right.
Christian girl sees I like to chew a bit and have a beer now and then and will right off the bat make assumptions about me.
Many times if I am talking to a christian girl I cant let her know about some of the stuff because she will make assumptions right off the bat so I have to hold back until she knows me, even then this always doesnt work. I dont think your Church goin girl wants a guy with a bit of a rough side anymore along with his faith.
He has to be a good boy, if he is a musician it will up his chances by multiples.(honest to God truth here, I went to a Christian camp for how many years and whitnessed this time and time again, many an hour of discusion on just this topic alone with the other guys. The girls just wooed over these guys.)
Thats why I am seeing a non christian girl, cause she accepts me just as I am and doesnt try to change me. Ive had more luck with non-christian girls all around then christian girls. Go figure.
Ive dated a few christian girls over the years, just go out and have a bit of fun, but nothing serious came of it.

I used to not be this way until I read "wild at heart" by John Elderedge. The book saved my life and my heart I read it every 3 to 6 months, keeps me real inside. I used to be the nice guy until 11th grade. That changed and I havnt looked back, I love the way I am. I have a good heart.

I wanna hear alot of opinions on this one.

A Cowboy's Got To Ride

2005-07-20T19:03:00.000-05:00

What a weekend, I got to ride on saturday night, not a girl unfortunatly.
Better then that, got back on the bulls finally. And what happened to me, I got fucked up thats for sure, could have been worse of course.
I should have had stitches in my jaw. took a horn in the jaw, it was a deep cut but not really all that bloody. it was a glancing blow so nothing was broke. Of course he couldnt have ended it there and had to put his hoof into my gut.
It skrewed up something in my intestines cause I couldnt take a solid shit for 2 days.
When that happens your screaming for something to cool down the old backdoor.
The question is, was getting a horn in the jaw, a hoof in the gut,(which missed the bits and pieces by mere inches) runny shits for 2 days afterwards and being sore for 3 days worth it?
HELL YEAH
It was nice to get a good rush again, makes me feel alive.
Call me crazy, call me sick. Both those statements are true.

2005-07-11T19:25:00.000-05:00

Since I am a new guy here the last week things were pretty rough at work. I kinda told a certain person what I thought of him and what kind of job he is doing and caught hell for it. Do I regret it...not really. He is my boss and was playing some mind games with me and I didnt appreciate it. So now I am on a couple higher ups shit lists so Ive been doing a good job of laying low.
Otherwise today being a monday it was alright. Got to go out and shoot the gun on a range a little bit. Its a wonder how the old training kicked in even though I havnt shot a M-16 in a while.

Here is the real good news though. Last Friday I turned 21. Bout damn time. The guys including my boss who I am on good terms with now took me out and had some brews. I drank more then I should have but by the end of the night I wasnt drunk. I dont know a lot of 21 year olds that can say that even. Most of them get drunk out of their minds. Nope not me and Im proud of it. Self control is nice to have. Then the next night I went down to Austin and had me a good time.
I went down by myself but ended up meeting with a girl I had met down there before and we went out danced. I gotta say I love the clubs. Just go out and have a good time...not lookin to knock boots or nothing but its still fun and harmless if kept in the limits. Self control once again.

And she is a damn good dancer. She was grinding against me and the last week we had Pt in the mornings that were a little tougher on the legs then usual . Add in a mix of dancing and when she was goin low on one of the dances my muscles locked up in pain. I didnt let her know and I dont think she noticed but I did.I wasnt much into asian girls but she is real talkative and cheery. Nice girl.

There is a guy here, me and him are pretty good friends already. Ngyuen is his name. He is Vietnameese. Kewl guy, he doesnt go round acting like he is God or anything, is on the humble side of the spectrum and keeps his cool. He is 20 and already married. wow. We went on a road trip on sunday and checked out some of the local backwoods routes. Fun trip.

And I finally found my rodeo here in Texas, sounds like on wednesday night I might be riding, we will see. If I do should have some stories to tell.

It was 99 today. heat index at 107. and a few sprinkles of rain this evening. nothing heavy.
And thats the new home news from here.
Cowboy

Who are your strawberry- shortcake?? Welcome to the blog.

1st Cavalry Division.

2005-06-21T17:35:00.000-05:00

My fellow americans, I am in one of the most historic units in the united states military.
1st Cav, from the sounds of it we are heading to Iraq in a year and a half or so. I am in the S-3(operations) shop so I get to hear alot of what is going down so that makes things really interesting.
I thought I would be going with the 4Th Infantry division to Iraq this fall but Im not, pleasant surprise.

What I have learned here so far.

1. Most, not all, but most Army girls are bi or lezbian. So this thins out the crowd of dating prospects alot.
Plus many of them are on the easy side of the spectrum, the ones I have met so far anyways.

2. There is a term called "super specialist". I work with a "super Private First Class." (thank god I dont live with him. They think that anyone and everyone that isnt a specialist should bow down and worship them, and take everything they say with the utmost of seriousness. When in all reality they are full of bullshit.
He also thinks he is the most squared away mother out there. When in all reality his miarrage is falling apart and today he lost his truck keys. (now my sarg is bitching him out, and I have a shit grin on my face while writing this.) Squared away huh??
They also believe that respect should be given on the basic merit of rank alone. But for Heaven sakes there are some shitless people out there that only deserve to be respected to the minimal level and after that they are pieces of shit that pose a danger to the rest.
If you are one of theses persons that believes what my super PFC thinks, get out of here now.
Besides this gripe about a co-worker, I really have no gripes about the Army. I knew what I was getting into,

3. Army base chow here is delicious. I eat better here then I did at Bemidji State and I was paying for the food.
1st Cav chow hall sucks so I go to the 4th Infantry division for chow.

4. Texas women are hot, and for the most part nicer then Minnesota girls. Minnesota girls have ALOT to improve on. Just on the merit of girls here I wouldnt go back to Minnesota if I had the choice. That may or may not change.

5. I have a place I can call home for the first time. I love it. I can truly say I belong here.

6. I dont understand why there arent more Chrisitans. Its so hot down here, its a small taste of hell. The heat alone would scare me enough to repent for the fears of the real thing.

7.Texas is a country unto itself, they should have not joined the united states. The people are different here in many respects. Not just the accent.

8.If a trucker stares at you he wants butt sex.

9. Latina girls are hot. Ive gotten to talk to a couple and there is cultural differences to them that I am trying to figure out and get used to. Hard to do that on an army base but I try to get off post here 3 or 4 times a week.

10. 6th street in Austin is fun. Just dont drink too much.

11. PT (Physical Training) is alot of fun. I enjoy it. I thought I would be waking up at 5 in the morning every morning but I was wrong on that one, My company wakes up at 6 to do PT, That extra hour of sleep is a lifesaver.

12. In the past week I have taken more naps then a senior citizen. Naps are great. Eat when you can, Sleep when you can.

Anyway, I felt guilty about not updating the blog so I ran to the awsome library here and did it.
Enjoy, and dont be weak Americans.

The Ride (Promised Land Part 2)

2005-06-06T20:22:00.000-05:00

Oklahoma City-Car is going really slow in front of me...Almost Hit it, had to pull in front of a trucker. He sees this incident coming and gives me leeway. Thank God, Close call. He is watching my back. Must be in his will for me to get here safe. Meet a trucker in southern Oklahoma and I talk to him all the way to Denton Texas. I give Angela a call and talk to her till 4 in the morning. Awsome girl.Get coffee at the Truck stop there and crash in my car. I wake up drenched in sweat. Welcome to Texas you stupid Yankee.

Fort Worth- Stop at Billy Bob's, awsome place. Gotta go there sometime if you stop in town. They have a arena for bull riding in it.

South of Dallas- Stop for a map at a rest stop and thats when a guy wants some young ass. My young ass. I walk into the bathroom thinking there might be a map of Texas in there, as I walk up I notice a guy staring at me like I'm a piece of New York Strip Steak with legs. I get a really bad feeling about this place, Like I walked into a trap. I give the inside quick look then walk out. He walks towards me as I walk out. This is getting worse. He looks me over real quick to make sure I am what he wants.
Trucker- Hi
Me- Hi
(Trucker gets to the point real fast)
Trucker- you goin back in there?
Me- No
Trucker-Why not?
Me- Goin to Fort Hood.
Trucker proceeds to look me over again then brings his hand up and rubs his chin in wonder what he should say next, or frustration. I think frustration.
I proceed to turn away and walk in a 50 inch pace away from him. I glance back and he is looking at me still.
I laugh really loud 10 yards away.
As I get into my car I swear this guy ran into his truck and got out of there really quick in frustration over being shot down by a strait guy. DENIED.
He passes me up a mile later, probably going to the next rest stop for his search. He was shifting up the gears real fast thats all I know.
I understand why they call them wayside rests "pickle parks" now.

Temple Texas- Stop at Mcdonalds for the first meal of the day. My stomach doesnt like the fact of eating Mcdonalds for its first meal but Im cheap. Stomach is gonna have to make due with what it has available. I walk in and there is a really gool looking latina girl working drive through. Didnt get the chance to talk to her. Ill go back there just to see if she is around some time when I am passing through town.

Austin- Hit 6th street for the Biker rally, talk to a guy with a hole in his forehead, says he got it in Vietnam. I proceed to wonder how the hell he survived this. The hole is the size of Two thumbs. He cant walk real well so is in a wheel chair. I talk to him and he gives me the low down on where to avoid in the area. Tells me to avoid the east part where the homeless hang out, and 4th street. Gay club haven. I thank him for the tips on town.
I walk into this poolhall there and get talkin to this group of college students. They find out I am in the Army and proceed to buy me the best beer in Texas. Shiner Bock. The girls with them are real nice too. Welcome to Texas. 3 beers later and a nice warm buzz. A few games of shuuffle board, the more beer I have the better I am at the game.I thank the guys for the brew and walk the street.

I go into this Japanese place and talk to the waitress, good lookin chinese gal. She talks me into ordering smoked salmon sushi. My stomach doesnt like this Idea of raw fish but she was good looking. I am a sucker. I eat the fish and it is delicious. I offer to bring the waitress home if she walks around with me. I push the issue and she gives in. I got her laughing alot too which helped.

She asks me 4 times that night where I am staying that night.
I know she is hinting at me coming over.
I tell her I am staying in my car.
Every time she replies "are you sure?'
Yeah.
She is getting desperate every time I turn her down.
I didnt end up at her house.
I figured she would come out and ask finally. That didnt happen.

I sleep in my car, some people would call me nuts, some people would call me awsome.
My car is comfortable when the sun gets down.

Cowboy In me

2005-06-04T15:34:00.000-05:00

Cowboy In Me
I dont know why I act the way I do
Like I aint got a single thing to loose
Sometimes Im my own worst enemy
I guess thats just the cowboy In me
I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I just wake up fighting mad
Sometimes Im my own worst enemy
I guess thats just the cowboy In me

Chorus The urge to run the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things Ive done for foolish pride
To me thats never satisfied
The face thats in the mirror when I dont like what I see
I guess thats just the Cowboy in me

Girl theres times you must have thought
There aint a line youve drawn I havnt crossed
But youve set you sight to see this love on through
I guess thats just the Cowboy in you

We ride never worry about the fall
I guess thats just the cowboy in us all.

I love this song, pretty much describes me in a nutshell.

Promised Land Part 1

2005-06-03T22:44:00.000-05:00

This was my log of my trip to the promised land. First Part anyways.

Fargo-Instead of leaving at 8 in the moning like I was hoping, that was one damn pipe dream, I left at 12 in the afternoon.

Souix City- Stopped for a piss and coffee. Talked to a waitress and found out speed traps up the highway. Talked to a trucker that had a white mullet. Funny shit. Coffee was very good.

Omaha- been here before, pretty town. Talked to a Marine recon 2 tours in Vietnam vet. Tried calling. Tried calling Lindsay, stupid bitch put me on hold, then told me to call her 20 minutes later. skrew that. I wont call her for a couple weeks. Feeling a bit lonely but excited to see new country. Embers truck stop south of Council Bluffs, coffee is bad...wont even do the job keeping me up. Conversation was good. Should make Kansas City in 31/2 hours. Raining real hard now.
I learned a new line today. "I got more ass then a toilet seat"

Kansas City- bought a cb antenna and stopped to sleep. next morning skipped breakfast and had BBQ. It was really good.

Whitchita- Gas Stop. Dont like the town. Eastern Kansas is pretty country.
Kansas Turnpike can be compared to eating a pube sandwich, if I knew what that tasted like.

Oklahoma-Stopped at a rest station wearing a Minnesota Vikings shirt and hat. talked to him and he said he knew Niner from the Bemidji National Guard Unit. What a small world. The rain has my knee real sore. Next stop might get Coffee, and call people. Got talkin to a trucker on the cb after rest stop. cool guy, got supper with him and felt like resting and all for a few hours so I hung out with him. Awsome guy.
Thought about stopping at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. I didnt though, it was too late at night. I should be in it I tell you.

2005-05-30T00:31:00.000-05:00

Ill write stuff down as I drive, stop and nap and write as I am going down.
Put it on the blog later
If your Texas bound let me warn you its a long hard ride.

For Those About To Rock(We Salute You)

2005-05-24T23:45:00.000-05:00

The CC is back to normal. I took a bit of a break from the ole blog, wondered if I should start a new blog because I recieved criticisms from previous posts from some people, not anyone who actually posts comments here. But I said skrew it, I just say them in anger, dont really mean it, helps me vent you know.

If they dont like what I say then they shouldn't read it, its not like they are forced at gunpoint to read it. Its what is going on in my mind so...take a sled, a bunch of dogs and go to Siberia.
I agree some of the stuff I say on here is not good. This my parental advisory sticker I guess.
I basically got told my blog was one step under pornography. I get the XX instead of the XXX, You cant always get what you want, you get what you need. (I laughed as I was typing this by the way).

So I was mowing my Grandpa's lawn today, and the mower quit like 50 times cause the grass was so thick. I could only think of one solution for this slightly annoying problem.
Agent Orange or Napalm. Pick your poison.

Napalm you just burn the grass and every other living creature on the face of your lawn, and nothing will grow back for the next 3 years. You get to see neighbors cats go up in flames(very cool)

Agent Orange, you spray that shit on your lawn,it chemically burns the grass to nothing except in this case every living creature will develop cancers and wierd diseases in 10 years,including that annoying neighborhood kid that sneaks accross your yard at night.
Pick your choice Grandpa....good choice on the Agent Orange, I dont like the neighbor kid either.
Anyhoo.
I had to go to Bemidji yesterday for one piece of paper, recruiter calls me telling this, all I could think is..."are you shitting me". I thought it was gonna suck balls but I really enjoyed the drive even though Ive done it so many times. Woulda been better with a GOOD girl to talk to.
That isnt a nessesity though, just a luxury. Got to see Fuzz so it was worth it in the end.

For the title of the post today, I heard ACDC song today and had to have it as the title for some reason, dont ask me.

(The Other) B-Town

2005-05-14T16:37:00.000-05:00

Well I am sitting here at the desk in the other B-Town (Babbitt). Where the parents live, I am only here for 2 more weeks exactly so thats pretty sweet I have to say. The grandparents stopped by, they are doing fine.
I tried to stop by Jon's twice yesterday before I left but he was gone, felt kinda bad about that but when I go through town again to get to Fargo Ill stop by. Jon, I'm really sorry dude.
Ill see you in 2 weeks.
I just tried to hit up some of the guys blogs and found out that I cant because of one small fact. My mom downloaded a filter on the computer. Arrrrg!!
Hell, I have a program on this computer that will go around the filter if I wanted porn that bad, filters dont stop programs like winmx or soulseek. Yet clueless moms dont know that, nor should they ever in my opinion. It is a teen's duty to outsmart his or her parents or at least keep them in the dark as much as possible. And if they can't outsmart their parents they will never get by in this world.
( I just tried to type the word F^&K on the blog and the filter deleted it, but it wouldnt delete "shit" or "damn")...what kind of filter is this?? By the end of the week Im going to be ready to have my way with the computer with the ole .357.....oh well, wouldnt accomplish anything anyways.

Otherwise it is 50 degrees here and overcast, rain brother wants to go fishing and my dad wants me to help him put in grandpa's dock tommorrow that I wont use this summer because Im gonna be gone, and the water is going to be cold as hell. Id rather just go to the woods and dissapear the whole day but Im pry gonna end up going to church and put on a nice face that everything is going just great... even though Im nervous as hell about the move. Im in no mood to talk to anyone around here honestly, just wanna keep to myself. The Babbitt syndrome is kicking in. I can feel it. Hard to keep a positive attitude at all , gonna try to keep in mind Im leaving, that will do the trick.

I had a really F**ked up dream last night. I was in combat and I had to shoot a couple people. There was three people in my dream and one guy walked up to us then proceeded to blow himself up. The next one a young teen used his sis as a decoy the walked around a corner and as he was pulling up the ak we filled him full of lead, not a good dream at all, I woke up shaking.

Mothers Day accident in B-Town

2005-05-08T03:01:00.000-05:00

Some mother will be crying her eyes out tonight when her son calls from jail. Happy Mothers Day Mom!!
I was minding my own buisness lookin at some stuff (naked midgets) on the internet when all of a sudden...screech...pow! I ran outside and booked it down the street where some son of a bitch had smoked a tree harder then a chick taking it in the throat. Obviously there was nothing going on in B-Town tonight because ALL of the cops showed up at the scene in the next 45 seconds. So many cherries lighted up I swore it was morning.
As I show up the cops all come in, they grab the guy, put cuffs on him, bring him to the local jail where the inmates got some fresh ass to pound so hard he will be shitting cum for a week after his rich parents bail him out. My advice for him: Dont drop the soap.

The guy was drunk when he hit the tree. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers.
If you cause an accident while drunk,and if you dont die in the accident, they should finish the accident with two to the head of you the drunk guy. Accident finished. Then me being the taxpayer will only have to pay for the two bullets used on you, instead of the 9 months in jail. Problem solved.

One of the girls standing there heard me say that I had no sympathy for the tree smoker.Then proceeded to tell me that I should...I have hit a drunk driver in 11th grade...should have died. And the kick to the colon, it was his third time he had caused an accident that should have had me eating windshield. The cop then put the frosting on the cake by telling me that the guy probably would only get 9 months in jail...

I wanted to give her a size ten cowboy kick to the throat that instant. Then she wouldn't tell me or anyone else for the rest of her life to have sympathy for people that dont deserve it.
Stupid Bitch. She is the type that will have kids someday, buy them happy meals all the time, will grow to be just as big of pussys as her and her husband, and the cycle goes on.When does it end is the question?

The other night I was hanging out with the guys at a cabin north of town, guns were drawn. My .357 lever action is the shit. Got some good pictures from it. I wish I knew how to post pictures on this thing, I am so computer retarded it isnt funny. Your lucky I'm smart enough to know how to post on a blog so you can read my awsome tales.

I went to a pow wow today, it was awsome. I got invited to dance in one of them, the veterans dance, I was honored. Even got some pictures of it, dont know if they will turn out though.
I was sitting by one of the guys I know from school, Harlan Johnson, kewl guy. His daughter was dancing, such a cute bugger, big smile on her. Makes me want to have a daughter so when she is little I can comb her hair and give her piggy back rides. Then when she is older tell guys that want to date her that.."I have no problem going back to jail if you mess with her."
I dont think she will be that dumb to pick scoundrel guys like that if she is my kid.
But the point is I want a daughter, and that takes a mother too, hope I find one that wants to be Mom.
Happy Mothers Day...Moms, you rule and dont turn you kids into weak Americans.

The other night the subject of a threesome came up. And would I do a threesome if the chance came up?
Probably not. When I was 5 years old I didnt share my tonka trucks, why would I share my woman. I dont give a shit if its with another women. I'm a selfish bastard. I dont share. Its my girl, not yours too, so go eat some other girls carpet, not my girls.Thats for me.

It kinda corresponds to modesty too, any girl I get I would like her to be modest. Those looks are for me to see, not you. I dont share. The less I see on a girl the more Im turned on, imagination is a really stimulating thing, once I actually see it in public I'm a little less turned on cause every other guy is seeing it too.

Otherwise my sleep schedule is so fucked up, pulling 2 all nighters in a week will do that to a man. I could do 2 days strait but once I get food in me I wanna crash hard.

I want to get the hell out of here more and more and get on my way to texas where I should be, and my mentality has been really going down hill, I looked in the mirror and just didnt like what I see. I really wish I knew what is gonna happen in the next years if I happen to live that long. I have felt so dead latly, I just dont like what Im doing, It doesnt require anything from me deep down.
I played paintball on saturday and all I could think was that my choice of going regular army might be one of the best choices Ive ever made in my life. When I think about that things start to look up. Adventure, what a young man needs. To get away from the homeland and go see some country on his own. I honestly dont know how any man can stay in his hometown for his whole life. What a sad life in my opinion.

On a more positive note, I talked to muggsy tonight. man Im gonna miss that bugger. When I get back over there I wanna split a case of beer with him. He is funny as hell, and funnier when drunk. You have to meet the guy, he is a legend in Embarrass Minnesota.

And I am a legend here, you will see a statue of me next to Paul and Babe in 20 years.

Staph Infections, A Pain In The Ass

2005-04-26T22:45:00.000-05:00

I have had 4 staph infections since September. Now presently I am battling another one. They are a pain in the ass, literallyand figurativly. Thank you georgia (thats where I got it from.).
I was talking to one of my friends from school today and told him about it, he said he had one in high school and almost died from it. I dont feel so alone in the pain anymore.

I was thinking about it and, you know, when you have something that is really painful, it makes things feel that much better and thankful when you dont have anything goin wrong.
It could be worse of course, it could be terminal cancer in my ass.

Another thought from the day, talked to a friend the other day that I live in the same town with and never talk to really. and she said that she wanted to hang out some time before I leave for Texas, and all I could think of is, if I werent leaving you wouldnt want to hang out and you would come up with some activity that you gotta do. So I dont think Im gonna ask her to hang out before I leave. Maybe Ill just stop by the day I take off and say goodbye if Im in the mood. I havnt been in a mood to really talk to the girls I know latly for good reason I guess and I dont think that will change before I leave. Sounds cynical and I guess it is, kinda turned into a prick latly.

Otherwise at the end of the day at mcdonalds I was talkin to Becca, she is bisexual, didnt get along with her dad at all, said he was a total ass to her and her family and I can understand why she is bi ( I think this is a classic case in why its a choice, not born with it.)and we got talkin about that. She finally met a decent guy she figures and I hope thats true. Its really too bad that Dads dont take their responsibility seriously. I seriously think if her dad would have been better then she wouldnt choose to be bi. But becca is a real great girl, I like her alot. Just seems like there is alot goin on in her head, real smart. Fuzzy stopped in too and added his points into the conversation. It was nice to see the old fuzz again. Good guy thats for sure. Ill miss him when I go.

10 things that piss me off

2005-04-24T21:47:00.000-05:00

1. Belly Shirts
Its spring time and Ive seen too many girls that dont have the body type that looks remotly close to that whore Britney Spears to be wearing these types of shirts, I personally dont likem period, makes a girl look like she should be on 5th and main instead of in a college. Makes me want to walk up to them with a zip-up pullover in my hand and tell them, "wear this, now, you look like a hooker". These same girls want to be respected even though they look that way...ok bitch, here is your 10 bucks, go back on the street. Thanks for the blow. Thats the type of respect you deserve.
class girls...class
2.Thongs 5 inches up
This basically coresponds with number one except my reaction is a bit different. I want to grab the thong and pull up. Thats nice that you wear underwear. You dont see my boxers, I dont want to see what your thong. Thats why they are called underwear, you shouldnt see'em in public. If i'm taking you to bed then I wanna see it. Then the turn on factor would be there, but since Ive seen how many other dozen thongs today, big deal if I see another one.

3.Jesus Bumper Stickers
I am a church goin man, and I dont have them nor do I want one. I dont know a person who has come to knowing Jesus Christ through these corny pieces of shit, and I dont think anyone ever has been compelled to change their ways because of a bumper sticker. The name of my Lord and Savior doesnt belong on my bumper, nor my t-shirt. A real christian should be advertising it with his or her actions, not with a bumper sticker.

4. Parents That Buy Happy Meals
I work at Mcdonalds and I hate happy meals. Why does a kid need a toy with his meal? Moms that buy these happy meals are just turning their kids into pussies. I remember once getting a happy meal, the toy was gay and I played with it for 3 minutes. This nation as a whole is turning into pussies..this is just a syntom of what we are turning into. All a kid needs is a hamburger and fries and a coke. If he wants a toy and throws a fit because he didnt get one, he should be smacked. Its called tough love. A real toy is a cap gun and some pine cones as gernades. I dont see boys playing war much anymore because moms dont like violence. Its a guys destiny to be a warrior, not a pussy.

5. Supersize A Meal And Get A Diet Coke
Think about it....

6.Hockey-Little League Parents
I hated these types that would show up at EVERY damn game and yell. Then proceed to drag the younger siblings to games when they would rather be doing something different instead of watching the little brother play hockey every weekend. That would fuck up anyones weekend.

7 .Cell Phones
I own one and I dont like it, but I need it. I almost got hit by some chick driving in the wrong lane towards me talkin on her cell phone and she didnt even notice until the last moment. Pull over and talk or set it down on speakerphone and watch the road. People like that sap recources that could be used for usefull people like me.

8. Lack Of Respect For Older People
This is one that the younger generation has failed to learn. Dont talk back to older people. They have a hell of alot more experiences then you do, I may not like them or agree, but I will respect them. They are the old dogs that I could learn from, so why piss them off.

9. The UN.
I love the United States, lots of good people here still and the United Nations is incompetant. We dont need them telling us what to do or not do.

10. Queer Eye For The Strait Guy-Metrosexual
We are a nation of ass pirates if we are learning style from these guys. Wanna look like your gay and not be one so girls will think your hot....pfft. Any girl that would go for one of these spit and polish kinda guys should just turn into a lesbian. Its one thing looking good...its another dressing like these rocky-horror picture show freaks. Guys are supposed to be have a rough side to them..just the way the good lord made us.

(girly tone added) so guys..you wanna go get a manicure?
......I see enough of this faggotry...go to canada.

Lies Girls Have Told Me

2005-04-20T16:24:00.000-05:00

This is republished from another blog but I liked it so much I stole it. Thank You Maddox

Girl says: "I didn't do anything over the weekend.."
LIE. This translates into "I got drunk and had lots of sex that I regret havin now that Im sober, but I'd rather not sound like a slut, so Ill give you the false impression that I live a modest life sitting at home and reading over my weekends, so youll have to find out what I really did from people talking behind my back." This is probably closer to the truth then most people think. And dont talk to me about some political rant saying "well not every girl is like that blah blah blah..." I know that not every girl is like that. Nobody cares.

Girl says: "Ive kissed one guy."
LIE No girl has kissed one guy. Any girl that says she has kissed only one guy is either too young to have kissed more, or a damned liar.

Girl says: "I think your cute."
LIE. No girl thinks Im cute. Im repulsive. Im hideous.

Girl says: "Looks dont matter to me"
LIE. Looks dont mater, MY ASS. Looks matter. Any girl that says "loods dont matter" is in denial. Proof? The good looking jerks that treat women like shit always get the women.

Girl says:" I want to find a guy thats sensitive.."
LIE. This one's a whopper. Girls dont want sensitive guys, nay, when it comes down to it all they really want is sex. Most of them are no better then the assholes they sleep with. Sure.. they want sensitivity..ass slapping, hair pulling sensitivity. What girl in their right mind would willingly sleep with with a total jerk? Are all these girls being raped? Or are they really just horny? They want sensitivity..or at least thats what theyll have you believing, with their warm smiles and good looks. Just once Id like to meet a good looking girl thats not in denial, and that wont put on an integrety show, and that will just come out and admit that shes been pounded more times then any nail in in the floor she stands on, like the whore that she is. At least then Id respect her for being honest. Its so transparent to me whats going on. They fritter their lives away having sex every day day of the week, and then go to church on sunday and think they're clean again. They're only fooling themselves. Its probably the only way they can live with their conscience (or lack therof).

Girl says" I just broke up with my boyfriend,so Im not going to date for a while."
LIE. I hear this one a lot. They say it to sound like they're not whores goind from one guy immediately to the next, but come the first good looking jerk with slick hair and a nice car and she'll be in bed with him faster then she can contract his STD's

Girl says: "I like to have fun"
LIE. Some girls ive talked to have been so shallow, that when asked what they like to do shell simply say, "I like to have fun.." No shit? I thought you liked being bored like the rest of us. What the hell kind of answer is "I like to have fun.." Whoe doesnt like to have fun? Upon further probing for what they like to do theyll say "well uhhh I like to swim and go hiking, and uh..I like to just hang out with friends...uuhhh I like to to see movies..Uhh." Okay she likes to see movies. Potential for a conversation. so Ill ask them what movies they like, and without fail they always say.."oh..uhh..I like all movies.." No dipshit, you dont like all moves. Nobody does. What movies do you like? "uhh.. I like romantic movies mostly." ( I dont really say dipshit..Im usually well mannered around women..not that it matters, since they only want a rich guy to skrew). My fault on that one, I should have known. Upon further interrogating (at least it seems like interrogation, since they have nothing to say about anything that matters outside of their microcosm of exsistence), they tell me they like music, of course. This is all torture to me. Why the hell should I waste my time with someone so damn boring?

Girl says: " like guys with a sense of humor"
LIE. I consider myself to have a sense of humor. Anyone that comes to this site and leaves without being offended has to have a sense of humor (or a really low attention span). Most of the girls that say this usually mean to say "Im a giddy little girl that laughs at everything regardless of how everything I laugh at is painfully not funny." The elusive "guys with a sense of humor " they talk about are jerks that treat them like shit so often, that they have no choice but to think that its funny so they can live with themeslves for dating them. Pathetic.

Gas Can Pulling

2005-04-19T23:10:00.000-05:00

Ever been gas can pulling? I have, basically its a sport in rural Minnesota.
You take a red gas can, tie a string to it, set it on the white line of the highway ..painting the string black of course so people dont see the string at night.
Then proceed to sit in the ditch in the woods or a cornfield. I did this last fall with my brother and my cousin and its a hoot.
we put our can on the white line and waited for 20 minutes then a lady pulled up, she saw the gas can and grabbed it. Usually we let people take three steps then yank the fucker out of their hands, instead we let her have bout 8 steps. The force of the yank, add how firm of a grip she had on the can, we bout yanked her arm off.She was driving a mini-van, Ive never heard a van burn rubber before until that night. Holy Shit.

She drove off and we knew that her husband would show up later. And we were right.
Thankfully a car had pulled over and they tried to cut our line and we stopped them and talked to them, then the husband showed up. He saw a group of us there and didnt do anything cause we had him outnumbered 5 to one. The odds werent looking good for him that night so he drove off. If it would have just been us Im sure something would have errupted.

Later on a truck pulled up , stopped for a second, then ran over our tank, then proceeded to shoot in a wide arc, desperate to hit us, with his paintball guns. We took off running, he drove into the field and we split up. I tried to stay close to the truck, within gernade range, and huck corn cobs at his truck. I hit his hood once, wish I could have hit his window, a hard enough huck would have taken out a window. After a while he gave up and drove away.

Its interesting some peoples reactions that night, some people were laughing telling us it was a good prank. Others got madly pissed off.
My brother a couple weeks later, ended up doing it to the town cop, scared the shit out of him.
Him and the town cop have been friends since.

Try gas can pulling some time, hell even my dad goes out with us now and then, he thinks its halareous.

The Theory

2005-04-17T18:38:00.000-05:00

I came up with a theory today while walking to Wally's, Bemidji State University is evil.
Not only does it steal your money, it has an alter in front of Tamarack. What is this alter you ask? Its the brick hill they call "the boob" I saw a look alike once ..a round hill with an alter on it where the pagans gathered.(I saw it in Mt Iron Minnesota...no shit)
Probably back in the long history of Bemidji State they sacrificed virgin heathen women ( heathen means unbaptised for you idiots that dont know what a heathen is..now you do) on it to please the gods. They just dont tell us the real story anymore to keep the past history secret.
Now they cant do the sacrifices anymore because...a female virgin let alone an unbaptised one is just about extinct, especially on a University.

Give Her Some Gas

2005-04-14T01:13:00.000-05:00

I went mudding today in my Buick LeSabre in the parking lot of Buenna Vista, what a blast.
I grabbed steve, my dark complected friend, and proceeded to go north to find mud and lots of it.
He had to push me out of the parking lot. The owner was real nice when he saw us tearing ass in his parking lot. I probably wont wash the car for a week

After that I went to a keg party, being the responsible even headed cowboy that listens to his gut, this party was totally going to get busted. Plus I was driving, I wish I could have drank a bit, would have loosened me up a bit to talk more. I did get talkin to some local girls but alcohol would have helped in the situation by loosening the tounge. I just didnt really know anyone at the party besides a couple guys but it was a fun party for only lasting an hour and a half.

Kick To The Nuts

2005-04-11T15:18:00.000-05:00

I just got compared to another guy the other day(and it wasnt good)...man did that set me into jackass mode.
anyone got any stories..I really would like to hear them.

Tax Time

2005-04-09T00:31:00.000-05:00

Tis the season for the IRS, the black suited mobsters, I meant government workers.
As the good book says it, give to Ceasar whats Ceasars'. Does this mean I have to give joyfully? I think not.
I was thinking about this the other day, and even being military, I cant participate in a Revolution..but I think one should be pulled off to bring this country back to the constitutional foundings because the government has strayed from them. This is our fault too because we have become lax as a country and let the government get away with things they shouldnt have. In retrospect, the founders created this country for the government to fear the people and do their bidding, instead most people fear the government. Especially during tax time. May I say "AUDIT". The thought makes me almost shit my pants cause I dont know where my recipts are,
nor do most other average americans.
A few years ago I was watching Fliecing of America on the news and saw that 8.2 million dollars went to a grasshopper study in Alaska.
To think that all the money that Dad worked hard for, then gave in taxes went to some bullshit porkbarrel prject for grasshoppers in Alaska.
That in itself is a reason to hop in our cars and go down to Washington.
Socialized health care is another reason that chaps my ass. People say that its their right to be taken care of by the government when it comes to the bottom line. Do you know how high taxes will be??
Socialism sucks ass period. Thank you Lefty's....move to fuckin Canada where you belong. Let America be the country of us right wingers if you hate it here so much, most lefty's deep down dont like America, they dont like the freedom we have...and we could have so much more...why not just give up in a fit of tears..pack your shit and go north, most lefty's dont have balls, so if you are a lefty, you dont have to worry about them freezing off.

I love the left wing Bemidji State Professor type (or the type who would listen to most of those bozo's)who tries to indoctrinate everyone else, some kids here lap it up like a cat licking anti-freeze, just makesm brain dead.
Im neither a Republican nor Democrat, but Democrats pose more of a threat then Pub's.
At a latter date I will rant on the Pub's. I personally agree with The repubs more though.

espirit de corps.

2005-04-04T16:01:00.000-05:00

This is a group thing yelled that Ive heard a few times at drill.
(chorus: chink cha chink cha chink)
How I love those little girls
Some with strait hair some with curls
13, 14 even younger
How they satisfy my hunger
Knock grannys dentures out
Stick my dick inside her mouth
Saw that grandpa wanted some
Now old gramps is shittin cum
Rusty hanger nice and slow
Abortion is the way to go
Sex drugs and rock and roll
For these we gladly trade our soul
And if to hell we all must go
We'll breach assault then take control
Satan crying on his knees
Come on guys dont kill me please
Well head north to higher goals
To reclaim our long lost souls
When the world is at our feet
Enslave the strong and kill the meek
Then we'll know that we have won
Our job as airborne rangers done
Thank you Maddog and Zeke for posting this on the net.
had to have it for my own, if I ever have kids they will know this chant...(chuckle)

Last Drill

2005-04-04T15:36:00.000-05:00

I didnt need to go to this drill but I went anyways because of the chance to drive the Bradley. I didnt get any good sleep at all at Ripley and I am paying for it now. If I totally jump subjects its because of this. I thought driving the Bradley was going to be harder then it was. Pretty easy but its pretty kewl to be driving a 30 ton vehicle. real smoothe riding.
Otherwise we stood around and shot the shit and kept an eye out for officers. Being enlisted, officers are people to be avoided at all cost. They will send you on some horseshit duty.

Went skating with the girl I took on a date yesterday, was so sleep deprived I really didnt have a whole lot to say. She kept asking me if I was haing fun. We did the whip on rollerblades, and I was holding her hand, keep in mind that this girl is skittish of guys, been protected way too much. When she gets nervous she breaks out in a rash. I was wondering if just grabbing her hand would get a rash going. I didnt see anything . Ill pry have to call up a friend that is friends with her too to do damage control for me. whatever. It feels like Im wasting my time with this, it aint gonna go anywhere since I am leaving soon. And if I wasnt leaving I dont think it would go anywhere anyways.

Today I was in the computer lab looking up some population maps. Looking for the ratio of guys to girls in different area's of Minnesota. I found out why I didnt have a girlfriend back where I grew up. St. Louis county had a really high ratio of guys to girls when I was in high school. We called it the sausage fest. And litterally looking at the map it was.
Then I decided to look at Texas, naturally the area around Fort Hood is a cock circus. But some nearby counties have a higher ratio of girls to guys. That knowledge will be put to good use.

The Story

2005-03-31T01:13:00.000-06:00

I heard a story today and had to post it.
this guy was at his friends house, and they were drinking ruby red pop. His friend goes to bed and this was in the day when the internet just came out. So he decided to look up some porn and milk the snake since his friend was sleeping. After beating one off into his hand he had no where else to put it, so he rubs off his hand into the pop can and twists the pop tab around so its over the hole.
Unknowingly his friend always twists the tab around on his pop to tell the difference between the chaw spitter and the real pop.
So his friend wakes up and finds what he thinks is his pop and takes a drink.....his porn watching friend finally wakes up and the poor son of a bitch told him that his pop tasted wierd when he woke up.
He never told his friend what he did.

If I was in that predicament I wouldnt tell him either, and if I would have been the one to drink the pop I wouldnt have wanted to know.
worthy story worth telling

B- Town Happenings

2005-03-30T15:50:00.000-06:00

Well, the past few days have been interesting, Monday night I called 911, heard a chick scream a couple times and it was 3 in the morning, I woke up and thought..what the fuck...this aint right. So I decided to call it in. Cops showed up in a record 30 seconds. I didnt know cops could be that competant and show up that quick. HEHE.(no insult to you wicked) The scream didnt sound like an orgasm scream, I know what that sounds like. This sounded like someone coulda been in trouble. Plus it was 3 in the morning, the police in this town probably needed something to do anyways.

Tuesday I didnt do a damn thing besides the date, went fairly well, will pry go out again. nice girl, good heart, just wasnt too much of intelligent conversation goin on. Thats ok. She told me one piece of information that really shocked me though, she likes the tv show Macgyver....finding this out I knew that there was hope. I absolutly love that tv show since I was little, and finding out that she liked it too, common ground..gotta have that. A girl that likes Macgyver...wow..thats a rare find for sure. And she plays paintball once in a while....there is a God. This spring maybe ill make a run home for the gun so I can play a game with her..see what she can do.
I played a game with a couple once..and the guy was protecting the girl jealously. I thought it was really cool. Now thats what I call chivalry on the battlefield. I learned that lesson the hard way when I attacked their bunker and aimed the gun at the girl cause I got too close to shoot them so I told them to surender. Guy puts his gun up without looking and shoots me in the jaw. I didnt get pissed, I actually respected the guy for showing some guts and doin what he needed to do.
I would have done the same thing, it was a close shot but shit happens.
Always protect the girl.

THIS IS FOR WOMEN

2005-03-28T00:45:00.000-06:00

WOMEN!!...announcement for you
if you like a guy...and he shows a bit of interest....FUCKING SHOW IT BACK .
Just talked to a girl that I had a thing for a while back...and she asked me if I had liked anyone here.
I told her yes, she said who...and i said...you..a while back...she basically said yeah I did too a bit.
But she never showed it back. She asked me why I didnt ask her if she wanted to go out...because it makes things fuckin awkward to beat all hell...ill just show a bit of interest..and wait for a response. Never got it from her so I pulled stakes and got out of dodge.
Girls....if a guy shows interest..show it back for God sakes, see what happens.

Alcohol And A Movie

2005-03-27T01:33:00.000-06:00

I am sitting here for some reason, it is Easter weekend and I decided to stay at the dorm room.
I am sitting in Han's room watching the Patriot and drinking a cold beer(Coors) and some schnapps, mixed into it.
First thing, why the hell am I drinking by myself...(oh yeah Im only 20)
2.Its easter weekend and no one is around.
3. I dont like Minnesota women all that much.
4. I'm only 20.

I shouldnt be tired right now and its only 2 in the morning, I slept in today till 2 in the afternoon yesterday.
I went to a birthday party tonight, saw a couple friends, I wish the chick that I was talkin to was a hell of alot smarter then she is or else I would chase her in a hearbeat. But she isnt all that bright so that pretty much ruins that. Very good looking though. I kinda have a problem with goin after a girl just for her looks, just doesnt sit right with me.

I cruised around B-town today and saw a couple making out in a car full of other people...must have been highschoolers....only young ones are fuckin stupid as that to make out in a full car.
Then the thought came into my mind, I kinda miss the makeout in the car....maybe a bit more too. Oh well. That thought escaped as fast as anything when the car bottomed out going on to the lake. I didnt end up on the lake, its the 3rd week in March and the ice is receeding from the shore.

South Park

2005-03-24T14:19:00.000-06:00

I love South Park, with a passion, my favorite personality has to be the rednecks. Ned is a personal favorite, the guy with the voice machine cause he probably lost his voice from smoking or chewing.
Alot of people I know think the show is bad because of the content, I personally think thats a crock of shit. Why may you say?? Well, its a perfect satirical mixed in with lots of cynicism and stereotypical portrayals on how America is really like. Perfect for a social studies major like myself.
Mr. Maki and Mr Garrison remind me of all my high school teachers put together,...complete clueless dumbasses.
How do most teachers actually care about their kids that they are teaching, 20 percent at the most. Except for shop class and social studies teachers, i want impressed with the rest of them.
The show really shows how the adults in america are also very clueless on everything. The children in the movie..have more of an idea on what is going on then the adults.

The sex education episode is my favorite, the parents say that it isnt their responsibility to teach their kids about sex, so they delegate the responsibility to the school. Predictably, the schools are so incompetant that they fuck up on this job too. The only job they have not failed on is indoctrinating our kids. So Mr Garrison teaches the Kindergarteners about sex positions.
and Mr. Maki and Ms. Chokes on dick have to teach the third graders about sex and the importance on protection, of course they fuck up on this one and the girls are afraid of the boys cause the boys arent wearing protection when they go get lunch.
They scare the hell out of the kids, the boys go buy condoms and fund out later they dont need them.
Of course the parents realize the fuck up way too late and come up with the cunclusion to leave it to chef. Chef tells the kids they cant have sexual intercourse till they are 16....yes children..16.

Beer and Barbecue

2005-03-22T20:38:00.000-06:00

Just came back from jack's house ,hung out with him and steve and mike. Funny guys to be around thats for sure, havnt hung around them for a while. Jack is a guy who is obsessed with Bruce Springsteen. yeah the guy has good music i gotta say, but this goes beyond sense. And he loves the good old deer, John Deere to be exact, snowmobiles.

Steve, cant explain this guy...just plain goofy. Mike is borderline alcoholic I think, fun guy to be around. They all sat around trying to roll smokes with my tobbaco tonight and none of them could roll one at all, so they resorted to marb lights.

I got back to college on monday, spring break was alright, stayed at home. When I go back here I am having a hell of a time doing homework, its not the fact that I dont wanna do the homework its the fact that I hate being in my room period except to sleep. My room has nothing in it that I want to go in there and sit in there by myself. I really dont know why except that I just plain dont like being alone a whole lot anymore which takes all perpose out of homework i guess.

I had 3 micholobe lights tonight at their house, I dont mind the taste of the beer. I heard that Minnesota is the biggest consumer of Michelobe in the country. its a good beer but I personally am not too terribly crazy about it. Sometime soon I will rate the beer I have tasted, I havnt had a ton of brands before so this will seem a bit on the amateurish side. Oh well.
Michelobe is a light budwieser to me, but as the saying goes for college students. Beer is beer, drink it and dont bitch cause its beer. Except for Keystone...how the fuck can anyone in their right mind drink the shit is beyond me.

Grandparents

2005-03-20T01:24:00.000-06:00

I was talkin to my grandpa and grandma today...made me think some...like usual.
My Grandpa is awsome as anything, worked for George Stienbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankee's. Knew him personally since he was a captain on one of his ships.
When he isnt around my grandma he is pretty laid back, likes to tell alot of stories.
He is my step grandpa. but he is all I have known so I call him Grandpa.
He is pretty much how I want to be a Grandpa if that ever happens, real cool, laid back, able to tell stories and give advice. Give his grandson his first beer or chew.

My Grandma is great too, but there are a couple flaws that are quite obvious. She worries like hell, and is pretty uptight, her sense of humor was tossed overboard years ago. I got her to laugh today once, quite an accomplishment since I dont get to do that when I tried to other times. Mission accomplished. Bout Damn time. I hope im not like that when I get old. My mom shows some signs that she is gonna be like my Grandma, scares the hell out of me. Mom needs to settle down a bit and relax. I can hang out with grandpa a whole weekend and things are kewl. Grandma I can barely take for 2 hours before I need to get out of the house and take a break for a bit, sneak in a smoke or something. She is a grand lady and means well.

I came to this conclusion, Im gonna be fucking great if I get old.

Talking Texas

2005-03-18T22:28:00.000-06:00

I had the theory that my Dad was really cool when my Mom isnt near the area. Me and Dad were talking about Texas and he was telling me about meeting nice women down there. Especially the latina ones, Ill have to keep an eye open on that one. When my Mom is around my Dad doesnt say nearly the information that he could say, taking the risk that my Mom would get pissed over something small, never understood that I guess. If I ever get married, or a g/f any time soon, I hope I get one that lets me spill my guts and tell a story the way its meant to be said, with her in my presence, and her not getting pissed.

Being back in Babbitt makes me want out of here more and more. I have been here a week and its starting to rub on me, my temper is getting a bit shorter. I want out. Too many memories here that I want to forget. My chest gets a bit tight when I see the water towers of the town I grew up in, when i go back to Bemidji its like I am where i should be for the time being. Maybe someday Ill come back to Bemidji, I do like the town for the most part. Depends if I like Texas more.

I saw a really cute girl workin in the grocery store today, I used to work there and we had nothing that good looking when I was there. How come when I leave then they get a cute one here. I found out later that she is single and has a 2 year old. FUCK THAT!! Yes, I sound like a jerk saying that, but I dont wanna raise another man's kid. Maybe if Im older I would be more comfortable with that thought, and she would have to be friggin cool, not your average Kelly with a baby desperate for a Dad to help raise it. She shoulda thought twice before getting knocked up by some deadbeat that sweet talked her. yes, people change and Im not including that, that will be considered at a latter date and time. But right now I am 20 years old....I have the right to have this opinion I think.
anywho...that was the thoughts from the day

Duluth

2005-03-18T01:07:00.000-06:00

On wednesday I went to Duluth to see a couple friends from North Dakota, strange lot they are, they make us Minnesotans look normal. They think a 4 hour drive to get somewhere is no big deal. Never understood that, anything over 2 hours gets a bit on the long side to me.

One of my friends tried setting me up with a date with a girl, found out that morning as I was going down there that the girl finally got a b/f. Obviously settled for second best, sad..oh how sad. I was lookin a bit forward to a date with a girl who sounded nice( but sometimes dates set up on this timetable ..aka..shes a nice girl....can blow up in your face.) I havnt been out on a date really in a while so this cowboy was more then game.
I was telling my friend about some of the girls Ive met up with in the past, she said i basically had the wrong connections. Coming back from duluth at 2 in the morning I was thinking about this. Most of the girls i ended up spending much time with turned out to be psycho.....and she had a good point. I do have wrong connections. Maybe i should start working on my friends a bit more, they obviously have better taste then I do. This will have to be put into practice when I am in Texas. What do I have to loose.

I have had 3 energy drinks in my life, 2 were on that trip back home that night ater 20 minutes of drinking one they kick in. I got home at 3 in the morning and called a lady friend. Talked to her for an hour and a half cause Thank you to Mr Red Bull I couldnt get to sleep. Damn them things work good.
Thank God for lady friends on the west coast..when im up late its ealier there so it isnt as annoying calling out there when I cant sleep.
It was nice seeing Tuesday Mark and Josh though...good bunch.
That was Duluth in a nut shell

Rap Music

2005-03-16T19:15:00.000-06:00

This is a hard fact for me to come to realize. I like rap music. I used to hate it with a passion. Then slowly I started becoming an in the closet rap listener, notorious b.i.g was my favorite.
Then i finally came out of the closet...Im gay.......not that kinda closet dummy. the rap closet. I like rap music. I have listened to Country music for years and years. Chris ledoux is my favorite, and the infamous Tim Mcgraw of course. The whole rap culture isnt my thing , even though i have been around it some. It just aint my thing, but i like the music....nigga ....what the hell!!
Funny thing is untila couple weeks ago I used to trash the stuff..now I like it.

50 cent is my favorite..the guy is an ass that uses women.....but...the women let them be used ..so is it he is using them or are they using him is the debate. maybe he aint using them. all i know if he is using them, they look pretty damn good in the videos.

...girls talk to us..wanna do us... skrew us... who us ...yeah poppa and puff... just like startsky and hutch...

First Post

2005-03-14T23:45:00.000-06:00

this first post is gonna be a test run so have patience with me...
hmmmn....my name is Curt, I am goin to college at Bemidji State University in Northern Minnesota, I am in the Minnesota National Guard right now, gonna be active duty army in a matter of a couple months though. should be interesting and ill post on that more and more

Lots is goin through my mind right now though and it should be interesting what I write on here on that..
why am I goin active duty is a good question, I wanna get out of Minnesota would be part of the answer, the other is i like doin the soldier bit so why not do it for a while. Im gonna get out after my 3 year committment and go back to school though, even though i dont like college right now a ton at the moment. Im young(20) and itching for adventure. Sitting in a desk doesnt make me feel alive at all so why not do it.
Iraq some people would say, is a good reason not to do it. Thats Bullshit, that only people at college would say. In my opinion my day is picked to die weather I like it or not so I have no control over that one unless i decide to grab the .357 and stick it to my head.
Gotta love the Hippie college kids at the local U though, fun to debate at times but even this gets old hearing the same ole rhetoric. When this gets boring, I usually just kick back and keep my comments to myself with a mix of insults going through my head that i could call them.
sigh, it does get old though, the best part after the riggors of class is making a beeline for Han's room with a can of Coors in hand. (making sure the idiot of an RA doesnt see it).

Be Cool

2005-03-14T23:22:00.000-06:00

I just got scammed last night. Went out and saw "be cool" last night
John Travolta, Uma Thurman. It looked like a good gangster movie, boy was i wrong, dead wrong. I want my money back, the venom coming from my mouth was spewing, we should have taken the hint that it was bad because no one else was watching it besides me and him.

Chewing Tobacco

2005-03-14T22:07:00.000-06:00

I started dipping tobacco when i was 17, when i was in 11th grade in high school, Jake mcCarter gave me my first dip, grizzly wintergreen if i remember right. Wow what a buzz.
After that it was downhill from there. I started dipping skoal cherry for a while until i kinda got sick of it, then went to skoal wintergreen for a short time. when i was a senior i hit the rooster berry blend, good stuff. after that it was coppenhagen long cut. i finally have quit(it was hard as hell to do) but do able.

here are some opinions on the smokeless tobacco rated on 1 to 10(1 is a newbie chew, 10 is veteran)
skoal cherry- a newbie's chew..i give it a 2 personally, its still a good new newbie chew, caked full of fiber glass, you could flag down a plane. (its so shiny) if you tilt the full tin good enough you can blind the pilot your trying to get the attention of.

Red Man- rated a 1.this is the chew my brother does, he doesnt dip tobbacco much, and the name chew is really for this stuff...long and stringy, smells like raisins, good quitting tobacco.

Kodiak wintergreen- rated a 6, its a good regular chewers chew, if a highschooler has a job you will see him with this alot, if he is jobless at the time grizly will be the alternate. last resort is red seal

Kodiak Ice (the bear that bites back) this is a 6 also but it has the strongest mint smell i have ever smelled in my life. the only chew i will turn down is this kind, because it will make me puke, i have no reason why it does this, it just does. take your dip out if you puke.

Rooster Berry Blend (rated a 8) (you cant stop the rooster!!) i love this chaw...when i was in school i had enough money to buy decent chew while the rest were goin to grizly or red seal.
the best part of this chaw is they pack a tin and a half in a regular tin. more bang for the buck.
props to the makers.

Red Seal- rated a 3. this is desperation, i am poor as fuck snuff. only had this stuff once for good reason, half of the tin is pure stems, the only chew that literally poked holes in my gums, i bled for an hour after i took the dip out. Avoid this chew at all costs.

Kyak Apple -rated a 4, i bought it for a 1.50 and i wasnt expecting a whole lot from it, but it aint bad for the price that i bought it at. it stuck together in a nice tight wad so i was impresed. didnt fall apart. after i took it out i coulda cracked a window with it, that tight.

Skoal Apple, rated a 6, first time i had this i thought it would live up to the skoal label, it didnt, on the skoal edge of things its on the weak side of the chaw spectrum. muggsy swears by the stuff.

Coppenhagen long cut - rated a 9 (quality since 1822) my friend didnt get a buzz from the stuff, he hasnt chewed as long though so his gums arent ripped up from the likes of fiberglass loaded apple skoal as much. I swear by this snoose, its hard as hell to quit, and at first it tastes gross as shit but you get a taste for the stuff, like beer. hard to keep together unless you have a well developed pocket. even though its long cut. My brother doesnt chew because i gave him his first chew which was coppenhagen, he got real dizzy and puked. he hates the smell ever since. hehe
keep this shit moist with a bit of water, or wiskey cause it dries out fast.

Coppenhagen snuff-rated a 10. this is the veterans snoose, hard as hell to keep together unless you have a very developed pocket.i could barely do this stuff. you spit out half the chew the first time you do it.
coppenhagen black-9.5 even though it doesnt taste like bourbon much, aint a bad chew if your a cope fan and up for something new

I finally quit dipping, been a month now without buying a tin, still bum a dip now and then from a friend. i dont miss it a whole lot surprisingly
