The end of March Mustache Madness

Well, it’s finally over and its been one heck of a month. I’ve seen my fair share of horrendous mustaches but they were all grown for the cause. They spread a new sense of hope and understanding as more people across the world were aware of the plight of those afflicted by a mustache. [...]

Frustration

At the end of a deployment the will of the masses dwindles and more mistakes are made. I have been a scapegoat as of late so I am trying to stay out of everything. I’m sure that in a day or two I’ll be blamed for not being a scapegoat because somebody else did [...]

Numbers

Numbers can be used to describe and pretty measure everything. Today I’ve got a few numbers of note -

365 – Its been an entire year since I started dating Jessica and it’s been the best year that I can remember. We’ve had the luck of finding each other and it’s been an absolute [...]

Debt

I am not the only person that is supplementing their income with credit – it appears that America as a whole has done the same thing. We are no longer saving our income for larger purchases, we are relying on our credit to borrow as much as we can. [...]

Nationalize the oil industry?

Ok, I had some free time on my hands after watching the Drake Bulldogs getting beat at the buzzer – by a three pointer no less – so I let my imagination run wild for a few minutes. Eventually, I needed to call in reinforcements to reel it back in but I had traveled [...]

The Madness continues

Well, it’s near the end of the month and many have failed to partake in the madness. I am one of the few left and its probably the most hideous abomination of a mustache on earth. Its so grotesque that I feared breaking my camera. I know that some of you are screaming at [...]

Sometimes we go too far

Chuck Norris – the man – the myth – the guy that kills with a roundhouse kick to the face is quite popular among members of the armed services. A few years ago somebody came up with a bunch of Chuck Norris “facts” that turned out to be quite hilarious. They spread like a [...]

I’ll be fine

I went to the doc – something that I loathe doing – so that I could get on the road to recovery.

His assessment – wow, your muscles are really tight. If it’s still bad in a week come back and I’ll try to stretch it out. Take some anti inflammatory meds for the [...]

Boredom will do that

Boredom will force you cause you to make foolish decisions. My latest foolish decision was to go to the gym for the past 12 days without a break. If I was a normal, healthy individual this wouldn’t be that big of a deal but I’ve got problems that don’t respond well to repeated abuse.

Drive it till the doors fall off

Its rare that we see a new vehicle in my career field because we drive the heck out of them. While the mileage is never high, the vehicles have seen many hours of use.

When I was in Korea we had an ’85 Chevy truck with 140k miles. Black smoke poured from the exhaust, [...]
