Good Day...HA HA!

I'm having a wonderful morning. I'm also enjoying a delicious Diet Dr. Pepper, which strangely enough does taste a lot like regular Dr. Pepper.

My morning is going well because, my heavily networked self is doing an amazing amount of outsourcing, so I'm not actually doing a lot of work, but I'm accomplishing a lot of work.

Here's my shameless plug for networking. Do it. It'll save you a lot of heartache, because it's not what you know, it's who you know. Every time. If you've ever been asked, "What do you bring to the table?" The answer is your network. Not Verizon. You're personal network of personal and professional contacts that are your little gateway into getting things done quickly and efficiently. Everyone you meet knows how to do something that you don't, that maybe one day you'll need to. Instead of taking the time to learn how to do it, just take down their number or email and call or write them when you need to get it done. Either they can do it for you or they can walk you through it.

Here's my dilemma, I need about 60 photos printed. 4x6 and 5x7. Instead of sitting in my office all day printing them out one at a time or paying to take them to walmart. I called my buddy who works at a graphics shop and he's going to print them out lickety-split and cut them. So, now i don't have to do anything, just drop them off and pick them up and my work is done....

Three cheers for networking, HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY!

Lot's of love, Piece.

Not Much But Kinda Neat...

So a week ago I got into a wreck. I've been drinking a lot of English Breakfast Tea and hardly ever for breakfast. I've gotten into the Sarah Silverman Program. I miss friends that I can't see everyday. And for those of you who didn't know. I'm an active duty Marine, who's just hit his 90-day mark and can't wait to get out and get back to school. Armed with this knowledge you can probably read some of my past posts and see how I've tried to adapt civilian work situation to describe what's going on in my Big Green Inconvenience.

My wreck was my fault. I rear-ended some guy who thought that turn signals were overrated, so he opted to not use one and I hit him in my 4Runner. So I filed my claim and am waiting for the Gecko to get back to me.

English Breakfast Tea is magic in a tiny glass or a large glass depending on how much Tea you feel, you need in your life right now. Or right then. But, EBT is a great, smooth Tea.

My 90-days is probably the greatest feeling I've ever had. After my deployment and 4 1/2 years of honorable service, it's time to start a new chapter. So, I'm college bound and ready to go back to being a regular dude. Not that the things that I've learned haven't made me a stronger person, because they have. I'm just anxious to re-enter the world I've been protecting for the last almost 5years. More on this to come...I need to go get my 4Runnner rebuilt.

A Question For My Bloggites....

I am adamant about no cursing or bad language on my Blog, but how do you feel about shared sexual escapades? I've got some good stories but I'm not going to do anything about it if you all don't want to hear it. Until then...Love, Piece, and Dildongs...

Flew Across The Country...For a Happy Birthday...

I'm writing this post from beautiful Fruita, Colorado, visiting Patrick McH and Co. for his son and my nephew's 2nd birthday.

Little kids are crazy especially if you've not seen them for almost a year and the job kept you from seeing their first birthday. I walked into their house and Haiden, toddled up to me and told me he wanted to show me his train set. I wasn't even sure if he rememberd me, but I was soon amazed at how mch growing he's done since I'd last seen him. He's walking, talking a mile a minute and is a wildman.

His birthday is a Sponge Bob Squarepants, extravaganza. I think we should be getting money for all of the advertising potential of Patrick's house right now.

Brittany, Patrick's more attractive half, though barely, bought so much SBSP that I'm sure that it's impossible for any other kids to have a SBSP birthday party until next year. Pinatas, table cloths, wrapping paper, cups, plates, napkins, you name it, we've got it. It's a SBSP explosion.

I'm gonna go eat breakfast, so I'll catch up with you all later...

The War, The Men, The Resolution...

The War. The War that's been going on for way too, long. I think that I might offend some people with what I'm about to suggest. But, I promise this isn't going to be a long post, but it will say what I think needs to be said.

I'm declaring Martial Law. I think this war is still going on because we haven't shown the Haj, that we are serious. I think we need to resort to barbaric, vulgar, obscene means of offense.

Including but not limited to purposely killing women and children. I think that when a man has nothing to fight for he will stop. If it's family he's fighting for we'll take his family.

I think we should demolish mosques and deface religious icons. Imprison Muslim clerics and completely remove any desire for them to continue in their backward ways. For if it's religion he's fighting for we'll take his religion.

Perhaps we should deliver total destruction to their lands and structures? Anything that is taller than the ground it's built on will be levelled. It will be an offensive led by bulldozers. For if it's land he fights for, we will take his lands.

I believe the time of calculated military advance is over, I strongly believe we must implement a purely, rage based offensive fueled by the blood of our fallen brethren. All that oppose will meet the wrath of fathers, sons, brothers, husbands, mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends who've been away from the country they love for too long. Brave men and women who are tired of sleeping in the dirt, who are tired of being afraid for their lives and the lives of their fellow countrymen. Men and women who out of a sense of duty volunteered for this noble service and who's service is being taken fore granted and who must needs be brought home into the loving arms of a grateful nation. A nation who because of their sacrifice will continue to thrive and embarrass other countries who've not accomplished a third of what we have, due to a lack of drive and motivation.

I love our country and I love our service members. I love that they are willing to do the impossible to keep our families and values, safe and secure.

Whenever I see a small child I think, that is why our military does, what it does. Our men and women fight our nation's enemies so that our children don't need to worry about anything. So that our kindergartners don't need to worry about roadside bombs, their only concern is what kind of cookies their mother's put in their lunch pail this morning. God Bless them.

I say kill their families to protect ours.

To all my friends and family, May God Bless and Keep You...For These Are Troubled Times In Which We Live...
