So I'm here at the muster in Kansas City.... (Blog Post)
And the word is that a week ago, they wanted 3,000 Marines to deploy. When I got in this morning, they said that they only wanted Gunnery Sergeants - E7 and up. Then I heard from another guy (That was in my battallion while I was in) that the Commandant said two days ago that they wanted only 300 marines.
So, knowing the Marine Corps, I'm not going to believe anything. The way it works is this: Nothing is official until it actually happens. Not before it happens, until it's actually happening at that moment, and even then, it might change.
I'll update this as I know more. Supposedly if we're getting orders, we'll get them tomorrow.
[EDIT] To clarify: I don't know whether or not I'll be getting any orders at all. I'll find out tomorrow.
And I keep seeing guys that I was stationed with, too, so that's kind of funny.
[UPDATE]
This is horeshit. Those that don't volunteer to go will know within five months if they're going to be recalled. Those that volunteer will know within five months if they're going to be recalled.

Asshats better pay for my flight.
[UPDATE]
Well, the full story here is that I was already trying to get into the active reserves to do a 30-day assignment to Hawai'i. I have a brother who lives there, so it would be a sweet gig.
I talked with my prior service recruiter after I got the letter, and he told me that by "you will be screened for eligibility" it means "unless there's a valid reason you can't, you will."
And then he went on to tell me that since there's no reason I shouldn't be accepted for the assignment to Hawai'i, then that trumps the mobilization.
We'll see.
The government is like a computer, and it's about time. (Blog Post)
I was watching a great video just now (http://www.videosift.com/video/T-Shirt-lettering-spells-out-the-US-constitution-preamble), and it got me to thinking about how our current government just doesn't work like it used to.
And then I was reminded of a quote from Mr. Lincolon: "Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
That leads me to think of how a computer should be formatted every now and then, and a fresh Operating System installed - this insures that when things get corrupt or the system breaks down, we can start fresh with exatcly what we want and what we were supposed to have.
I think it's about time to say:
Format G:
"WARNING, ALL BULLSHIT ON NON-REMOVABLE GOVERNMENT G: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with format?"

Super powerful laptop with Pentium II - 266Mhz! 64 MB of RAM! (Blog Post)
So when I moved into my buddy's house last December, I had a furnished basement to myself. There was a bathroom down there and I found some old tattered Playboys from 1999 or earlier under the sink, graciously left by his old roommate. As I was flipping though them, I found gems like these -
Laptops for $6,000 with a 266 Mhz processor and a portable DVD player for $1,300 and a plasma tv that you would buy for $2,000 today, but back then was more expensive than a Ducati. Now you can watch any of the 1,500 movies available on DVD in style!

The question no one is asking McCain - and they should be. (Blog Post)
In response to criticism of his "Celebrity" ad, all the the McCain Campaign had to say is that it was "entertaining".
What people need to be asking McCain is this:
Americans are losing their very homes due to the economic crisis. Oil is at an all time high, and we have young men and women DYING in a war that the majority of the country does not want to be in, and all your campaign can do is crack jokes?
Edit
Also, I love how they say right in the commercial that he's the biggest celebrity in the world.
Think about that for a second.
The world hates America. We all know this. Yet they are all in favor of this man becoming America's president. The McCain campaign is eager to tell you the world loves him....
What a jackass.

2,867 miles? That's nothin. (Blog Post)
So yeah. Gotta make that trip by m'self August 9th. I'm moving to Tempe, AZ - and I'm sure as shit gonna be miserable as soon as that heat hits me.
Not really looking forward to making the trip, but I can't wait to get there for a few different reasons.
I'm kinda nervous about moving to an area that's completely new to me - I've never even been to Arizona before. And it's a huge city (metro area = 4.5 million) Whereas the biggest city I've lived in is about 60,000 people.
At least I have family in Maryland and Misouri to stop at so I won't have to get a hotel. I'm kinda screwed from there though. I've considered taking a cot and sleeping on the side of the road somewhere near/in Amarillo, TX so I don't have to fork out a ton of cash for a hotel. But it will probably be hot as hell.
I guess I'll see what happens then.

America is disgusting. (Blog Post)
Yes, yes. You guys already knew that.
I've recently begun making lengthy trips on my bike (30-40 miles, though 40 makes my ass hurt, so I'll stick to 30) as a way to get some exercise and stay in shape. Being that I don't feel like sweating my ass off, I don't bring any food. I've no place to put it without carrying a backpack, and since I already have 3 liters of water on my back, I don't feel much like carrying more. I'm already seating enough.
Anyway, I usually make it a point to stop at a convince store to pick up a granola bar and a powerade to replace lost sodium and electrolytes. (I know, not typically needed for training durations of less than five hours, but I think 4 hours is good enough.)
So when I walk into the store to find something relatively healthy, it's damn near impossible. Everything is seemingly made by Little Debbie, who can not possibly be little when you look at the caloric and fat content of her shit.
I'm in no way a health nut, but ever since I started eating better and exercising more, I've felt much better. It's just disgusting to know that my options for a quick snack are mostly limited to candy bars or nacho-flavored calories. Today I found some cereal bars, that were so ignored that they were dusty. Gross.
And besides that, there's the ridiculous vehicles that people are driving. Like the woman that I saw driving the Hummer solo. I hope she has fun at the pump. Watching my brother's submission of "Who killed the electric car?", I heard one person say something to the effect of "Americans don't want to be asked to live like Europeans!" - And I thought to myself - why not? Heaven forbid we use less than 80% of the world's energy. Heaven forbid we drive a vehicle that gets more than 11 miles to the gallon. Heaven forbid we turn the thermostat down 5 degrees and put on a sweater.
I think I'm gonna go live in Europe instead.

Funny or Die: most unintelligent video host on the net? (Blog Post)
On just about every page you see a little ad they have for "The landlord" that claims that 462,000,000 Americans still haven't seen it- which is odd, because according to the U.S. census, the population is hardly over 300,000,000.

Videosift user poll: are you a white or a blue collar? (Blog Post)

In the market for a new car (Blog Post)
Any ideas?
So far I've looked at the 2009 Corolla XRS - it's a nice car, but at $23,000 it's a bit spendy. The Scion tC is pretty sweet, but there's no trunk space and mileage isn't that good, especially from a car as small as that one. Hell, I drive a 3,500lb Volvo S60 right now, and I get 25/33 miles to the gallon - all the while I get 208 horse power and 250 ft-lbs of torque thanks to it's 5-cyl engine.
It sucks that the tC is so cheap, because it offers all kinds of cool shit for such a low price ($18k) - but no trunk space.
Suggestions anyone?

An open letter to other drivers (Blog Post)
Dear fellow driver,
I know that operating a motor vehicle can be difficult sometimes. And given that we now have the added distractions of your radio, cellphone, and your obnoxiously fat wife. I can understand if you didn't see me that one time you looked behind you before you backed out of your driveway. It's probably why you said that I wasn't there a minute ago, but all the sudden your bumper is nestled inside my quarterpanel.
So, I make only one humble request to you, and to all other drivers on the road:
The next time that you decide to look once before you back up, and not at all after that while backing up, please just go all out and total my car.
Please understand that it is nothing but an inconvenience to me when you damage my car, but nothing else. Because if you totaled it, I would be able to get a rental while I looked for a new vehicle, which I wouldn't mind having. But no, you ignorant driver. You insist on making me have to call the police, the company who's truck you were driving, the insurance company, the body shop and the rental shop so I can get my car fixed. And what do I get out of all that work? Nothing. I just get my car fixed.
THE STORY
I had just made the turn onto Miami avenue (green arrow) and was driving along at about 20-25 miles per hour. I see in front of me a Chevy 2500 backing out of the road with no regard to my presence in the established flow of traffic.
I brake, and honk my horn, yet he continues. I brake and honk, yet he continues. I attempt to cross into the other lane, and yet he persists. It was only a matter or time.
Way to go, asshole.
So then we get out and he says "Where did you come from?" as if to imply that I had my cloaking field engaged only until after the collision. I pointed to the road I turned from and said "Over there."
He then replied with a sentence that blew my fucking mind: "Well you weren't there a minute ago when I looked."
The only thing I could muster in my utter disbelief was "That's why you have to keep looking.
Yeah, he basically told me that he looked once, saw it was clear, and called it good enough. Had he been looking over his right shoulder like the rest of the driving population, he would have seen me approaching from his right.
Thanks, you piece of shit.

Since this is Obama central...(racist, bigoted content ahead) (Blog Post)
I could use some help.
Yes, I am a republican, and no, Obama is not my candidate. I'm still rootin' for Paul. But even I can sense bullshit when I read it.
This is an email that was forward to me, and I hate shit like this, so I could use a proper response, yet I just don't know how to write one.
(email start)
"God help us if this man is elected!! But it is all stated in the Bible and it will happen sooner or later. This is from Darlene Millican, wife of the pastor of Trinity Bapt. Church here in Sun City . I have felt for sometime now that Obama is the one person that 'Frightens Me'. I believe the Bible has warned us that 'A man will come from the East that will be charismatic in nature and have proposed solutions for all our problems and his rhetoric will attract many supporters!' When will our pathetic Nation quit turning their back on God and understand that this man is 'A Muslim'....First, Last and always....and we are AT WAR with the Muslim Nation, whether our bleeding-heart, secular, Liberal friends believe it or not. This man fits every description from the Bible of the 'Anti-Christ'! I'm just glad to know that there are others that are frightened by this man!
Who is Barack Obama?
Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice. If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it.

Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack
Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu ,
Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas.
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya . His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia . When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended nbsp;a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two
years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim . He is quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.'
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical. Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any
reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Do you want someone like this as your PRESIDENT? Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own! The Bible says 'He will come from among you!'
> Please forward to everyone you know.
> Would you want this man leading our country?
>
> NOT ME!!!
>
>
> WITHOUT GOD, WE ARE NOTHING!!!"
(email end)
Ok, that was copied verbatim, and the only editing I did was to get rid of all the ">" characters and to delete erroneous spaces in the middle of words.
So what the fuck? Even I know he's a Christian, and has been attending the same church for 20 years, so it's not like he converted right before announcing his candidacy.
ANd turning his back on the flag during the nation anthem/pledge of allegiance? I've never heard of that. And so fucking what if he doesn't wear the lapel pin. I like that he doesn't - that's the same thing as slapping a yellow ribbon on your SUV and calling it a day.
Could someone who knows a little more about Obama craft a response for me? I hate stupid morons that make other Christians/republicans/Christian republicans look bad like this.
Oh, and gotta love how they feel it necessary to point out his middle name every chance they get, eh? I mean, seriously - Obama was born almost two decades before Saddam got into office! Excuse the fuck out of him for having what is a VERY common name. (Farhad - care to lend any credibility to that claim?)
It would be like calling any German man with the name "Adolph" and evil bastard and a Nazi. But before Hitler did his thing, it was just another German name.
Shit, by that logic, our very own Lucky 760 is a Nazi. His name is Rommel, fer cris'sakes.

Fuck HP, and Fuck M$, but Fuck HP more (Blog Post)
This is gonna be simple, as I'm still pissed the fuck off.
1) I reformat hard drive
2) I reinstall windows
3) I go to activate Windows with the key that came with the laptop
4) It says the key is invalid.
5) I call M$ - they tell me that I need to talk to HP and get a new key
6) HP pretty much tells me to fuck off unless I want to pay them to talk to Tech Support.
7) I tell them I don't need Tech support, I need a damn key.
They say that TS is the ones that can give me one, so I need to talk to them, ergo I have to pay them money.
9) They tell me that they will take me through troubleshooting steps before they give me a key.
10) I say I don't need technical assistance, I just need a motherfucking key.
11) I said fine, you talk to them, tell them I need a key, and then give me the key. That way we can skip right by TS.
12) They say ain't gonna happen, and that I need to call and talk to the case manager on Monday.
13) You can bet your damn ass I will call them.
14) You can bet your sweet ass that I will not pay a motherfucking cent to get it.
15) They've pissed off MG. They should be glad their call center isn't within fresh temper distance, or there would be something on the news about me tomorrow.
16) It would most likely include words like "shooting," "massacre," "deadliest" and the phrase "every single employee."

10) I say I don't need technical assistance, I just need a motherfucking key.
11) I said fine, you talk to them, tell them I need a key, and then give me the key. That way we can skip right by TS.

13) You can bet your damn ass I will call them.
14) You can bet your sweet ass that I will not pay a motherfucking cent to get it.
15) They've pissed off MG. They should be glad their call center isn't within fresh temper distance, or there would be something on the news about me tomorrow.
