Today is... Today

Today, I bought myself some new boots.  They are very comfortable.  They are tan leather with Nomex canvas uppers.  They have a wonderfuly fabulous liner in them that helps to regulater temperature, eliminate odor through the use of antimicrobial fibers and they help to eliminate static, and to top it all off, the Nomex is flame resistant so my feet will not burn off in the event of an aircraft or vehicle fire.

 

My feet have been hurting at work lately and my steel toe boots, while awesome in the shop just arent cutting it any longer.  So I figure if I can't be very happy today, at least my feet, knees, hips and back can be happy today and for a good while after today as well.

 

I'm also writing my comments on the OER I just recently recieved.  Thats fun.  If you are going to tell me that I am a duschebag who cant do my job, or not doing my job, fucking counsel me on it so I know where you want me to tighten up my shot group.  Jackass...

 

I'd also like to take a minute to give a shout out to MD's finest.  The Maryland State Highway Patrol.  You stupid fuck nut. You were so busy being up that Lancer's ass trying to pull him over, that you nearly took my front end off while trying to stay behind that guy as he did his own lane change death dance in the middle of heavy traffic.  I got two words for you pal: Target Fixation.  It kills pilots all the time, and its the cause of many weapons carrying helicopters getting fucked up.  Wake up shit for brains.

 

So yeah.  Today is today. 

 

 

This One Should Cause a Stir... Just Relax, Seriously

I was thinking about it the other day, while I was at a personal low
point, the fact that I guess that no matter what anyone says, I am
sure that everyone out there at one point of another has actually
entertained the idea of taking themselves out of the proverbeal food
chain. The thought came to me while I was filling out an intake
questionaire at the doctors office. The form asked me if I was
contemplating or had contemplated suicide within the past 6 months or
something to that effect.. It got me thinking. Y'know what? I have
contemplated suicide. I've thought about it before, the various ways
I could do it, thought about things like what kind of reaction the
people I know and love would have, though about if they would have any
at all. Though I have never come anywhere near actually attempting.
Fuck that. No, when life starts sucking, whether it be feeling
completely useless or incompetent at work, or the occaisional times I
feel like I am a dead beatdad, or relationship problems, I've never
thought of it so far as to actually seriously consider it.

So that begs the question, do normal non mentally unstable people
think about suicide as an option, even if its promptly dismissed. Is
it a sign of deeper inner emotional troubles if suicide even pops up
on a list of alternatives and or solutions even if it would never
truly be considered?

Now don't go all crazy on me, thinking that I'm sitting here at the
keyboard with a loaded walker colt on the desk or something. I'm just
genuinely curious about that.
And whie we're at it, what about those hospital intake sheets. When
they are set up in that way where its 1: Mostly Agree 2: Somewhat
Agree etc etc or 0: Never 1: Almost Never etc etc when you put an
answer like "almost never" does the medical staff automatically
consider you a risk for suicide? Or do they maybe just look at it
like, "eh, he's normal, hell when I saw what my gas bill was last
month I though about making out with a shotgun barrel..."

That should generate some interesting food for thought...

Bonus question: If a bullet traveling through a person's skull
entering in teh mouth and exiting the back of the skull at
approximately 1500fps, at what velocity do the teeth travel behind the
bullet?

If you come up with an actual answer to that, you truly are demented
or disturbed, and you really should seek some help, seriously...

Hell Yeah

Its 3:24 in the morning and I am still wide awake! I got Pauley
Shore' In The Army Now on the 40 inch and snippets of teh colbert
report on my computer and I'm working on my second bowl of dry cereal.
Life is Good....

Why is it that my gears wont stop turning without you?

Why is it that I cant sleep if you're not near?

The Bitter Sweet Disappointment of Victory
