Blog, I

A few weeks ago I was perusing such things as Tijuana Donkey Shows and other interesting facts you come across on Wikipedia, los cabos vacations packages not mentioned but glad I found it later.

I always thought these were actual ‘hmm hmming’ on stage, similiar to tales other veterans have told of naughty shows in the Orient such as a woman picking up things with no hands.

The more I researched, the more I realized it’d be safer to simply fly into a Metropolitan area, pay for a decent hotel, and give up the money rather than rely on going on ‘the cheap’.

I have talked to people that’ve lived for months off of coastlines and subsisting on fresh produce. Then again there weren’t as many pirates running around on the open seas that might come to land for fresh grown vittles for their stores.

Just sayin’. Be safe, no matter where be matey!

Every once in a while I get requests to join this community or that community, in developing ‘in links’ from companies giving out their juice. Some are genuine directories of services, in hierarchical forms with logical flow charts that allow bloggers to be featured.

I got a request to consider http://onewaytextlink.com, and I haven’t had the chance of getting deeper than their first page.

I’m curious…what are some of the online communities others use in the new facing changes of Bing, Yahoo, and Google with upcoming mergers of front ends to back ends.

Not in a brokeback mountainous way either before you ask.

Last Thursday the Emergency Services & Homeless Coalition had it’s General Membership meeting. I had the chance of sitting down and speaking with Felecia, the Managing attorney at a local law firm…made it clear she was too young and too attractive to be a managing attorney at a firm.

Yeah, hate me…I can pull that kind of stuff off and still get women to smile at me.

It made me think back to the days when I was more of a risk taker, riding my KZ-400 state to state, not a care in the world for a motorcycle accident attorney. It’s the last thing you think of when that beautiful scenery’s whizzing by at 130 miles per hour.

Could be the last too if people aren’t careful.

Nuff said.

True words! We’ve been having continous rain that’s cause the shingles at the top of the roof to blow up, causing water to come in and fall on my ceiling in the living room. Before in the past it wasn’t bad…not, it looks like a big ‘pee’ spot about 3 feet across.

It wasn’t me, really.

Later today I’ll contact the landlord, there’s an issue anyways with water needing attention at the kitchen faucet. I’ve been tired of trucking dish pans to the commode.

It’s not that I’m ingrateful…I just want to get what I pay for.

Tee Hee!

I like to think of myself as a master of nothing. While I collect and scavenge computer parts and peripherals from varied sources; dumpsters, roadside junk, a computer I overclock causing it to spark blue arcs; and manage to make something out of nothing…that’s my limit.

I can change a tire or oil on a vehicle, and I could even reverse engineer a home appliance requiring a 115334 vacuum motor being replaced, but do I have my limits.

Knowing that makes me happier each time I look at my life as a single parent. It’s easier to solve problems.

Not all Veterans are created equally.

Many who’ve served honorably cannot receive membership to the majority of Veteran’s organizations.

While many chartered organizations ‘do’ do good things, they don’t speak for all Veterans.

Today shouldn’t be for remembering just the ones seen on mounts. It should include the many more that will never be.

For every service member that is noted ‘out there’, there were many more who supported each one. Cooks, admin, medical, transportation, mechanics,etc.

This month’s tragedy in Fort Hood is an example of how every person who wears a uniform faces risk daily. Not only should the victims and their family be remembered, but the accused as well when people are ready to face what they fear.

Becoming the enemy.
