Must be Muslims out on another family picnic!

Islam & terror have become synonymous, and for good reason.  While there are renegade groups and individuals in every religion, but Islam has clearly master this art.  Perhaps no other religion has produced more breed of animals to cause maximize damage to the humanity.  With their baby production machine in full speed, the outlook for future appears grim indeed.

Muslim's hatred for India need no explanation.  Despite their fake masks pretending to be wanting peace, it is quite transparent that while they want to utilize what India has to offer, they will not hesitate harming India at the slightest opportunity and pray for PAK to destory India everyday.

Muslims are disgraced member of Indian family, our black sheep who have gone estrayed, and as long as they keep listening to their evil sermons, there can be no hope for a peaceful existance for human in India.  India is becoming just like Israel, contstantly under the threat of yet another bomb explosion in heart of busy sections of the town to ensure maximum causalties.  Only difference is that while great nations of Israel contains Muslims with brutal force, our political leader have sold their souls for sake of securing Muslim vote bank.  With leader like Lalu and Yadav, who need PAK's ISI anyway.  They alone are sufficient to bring India to its knees.

What exactly is being thought on those Friday evening prayers, after which men come out like raging bulls ready to commit violent acts without thoughts and considerations of follow Indians?

Here is what I speculate a typical Friday evening prayer session goes like:

===

It always intrigues me that Muslim bastard's riots and demonstrations always break out AFTER FRIDAY PRAYER Meetings, which makes me wonder what exactly is being taught or preached there?

One goes to the temple, church and synagaue to find God and peace.  Normal people feel tranquil, their souls at peace and blessed after praying to their God.

But look at these Muslim bastards - Contrary to feeling peaceful and blessed, they come out of the gates behaving like race horses and acting like rodeo bulls.  Uncontrollable, full of raging energy and ready to destroy whose ever has the misfortune it is to come in their way.

Right after their praying sessions, they spew hate and violence on the street, throwing stones, burning properties.  Published pictures of them exhibit evil so transparent on their face and eyes full of popping blood veins would scare even hearty people.

Contempt for India is well entrenched in these Muslim bastard's minds and deep into their hearts.  Despite the fact they have full freedom, enjoy much higher standard of living then PAK, their love for PAK overwhelms anything.  The fact that whole world looks at PAK like a pirah failed state living on handouts from USA and Europe doesn't bother them. The fact that there is no freedom of religion or speech suits perfectly to their intolerant mentality.

They would complain about the anti beard policy in IAF or any of the pity issues, but are willing to blow people for sake of Islam and PAK without second thought.  In fact, they feel previleged to be granted an oppotunity to blow people and no doubt are celebrating behind closed door with each innocent death.

They have perfect puppet in spineless congress, which will bend backwards to please them, even at the risk of majority's right or national security.  Government had no backbone to take any action, and whatever objections they have is nutralized by hefty bribes from ISI.

Anyway, I have been thinking about what the typical Friday masque session would be like.

From their animalistic, violent and anti India, pro PAK behavior, I have speculated following agenda.

3.7 Help from Scripture

David draws people

To conclude this chapter, perhaps a reference from Old & New testaments might help us. First of all, do you remember that time in David's history when he was on the run from Saul and he ends up at the Cave of Adullam (1 Sam 22). There we read (v.2) the following:

All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader.

What a bunch – distressed, in debt, or discontented! Why did they go to David? Partly because they didn't like life under Saul, but partly because they knew that David would take them in. And what did David do? Turn them into a mighty army! Have you every realized why so many in the church 'have problems'? It's because all the nice people in the world are self-sufficient and think they can get along without God! The people with problems know they can't.

Of course, as we come to understand the Gospel we realize that actually EVERYBODY has problems, everyone needs Jesus to save them, but “nice” people think they're all right.

Jesus Draws People

Let's look into the New Testament for something similar.

Lk 15:1,2 Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

How do you know a tax collector or sinner? They just look like it! You know these characters are crooks! Just look at them, it's obvious! So speaks the Pharisee. But Jesus didn't have a problem with them. To the contrary, he knew that he had come for them, so delighted in them when they came looking for him.

Whatever else we do, we must not write off people because of their social class or their appearance. Jesus loves all of us!

As a 14E i have for responsibilities. Table VIII comes from field artillery. They call it gunnery tables. Four times a year Patriot air defense units must be able to prove that they can move from the motor pool to the field. Once at the field we must be able to fire missiles. Since the actual missile cost several million American dollars a piece, most of the time we just simulate missile launch with dummy missile canisters and computer simulations.

The 14T PATRIOT Launching Station Enhanced Operator/Maintainer (we call'em tangos) have it easy. Missile canisters go on launchers, from there they are raised into position to be fired. During training, most of the "cans" are empty dummies. A missile can looks like this:
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="200" caption="Patriot missile cannisters"][/caption]
Those are PAC-3 cans. They have four missiles per canister.
The can get loaded by crane:
[caption id="attachment_291" align="alignnone" width="68" caption="Crane loading missiles"][/caption]

After the missile are loaded, the 14 Tangos drive the launchers out to a launch site. it's a remote site because the blast radius of the missile means we have to be far away. Through a fiber optic or VHF data link, we can fire the missiles remotely.

While the 14 Tangos go to their launch site, the main crew is setting up the rest of the equipment, "the Big 4":

1. The AN/MPQ-53 and AN/MPQ-65 Radar Set
2. The AN/MSQ-104 Engagement Control Station (aka "the Van")
3. The OE-349 Antenna Mast Group
4. The EPP-III Electric Power Plant

Each piece of equipment has cables that must be connected. The EPP is a big truck with two massive generators : "two 150-kilowatt, 400-hertz diesel engines which are interconnected through the power distribution unit. These generators are mounted on a modified M977 HEMTT. Each EPP contains two interconnected 283.9-liter (75-gallon) fuel tanks, and a fuel distribution assembly with grounding equipment. Each diesel engine can operate more than eight hours with a full fuel tank. The EPP delivers its power to the Radar and ECS through massive cables stored in reels alongside the generators."

The radar the ECS van get connected to each other and to the EPP, the AMG is a pair of big antennas that provide communications (both unencrypted and encrypted). Before you had digital cable and fiber optics routed to your home to watch teh pr0n, the U.S. Army had digital radio and fiber optic modems (but do on demand pr0n).

Maintenance is very important. That soldier in the photo with the open hood is checking the coolant levels on a HMMWV. Just like you car, generators and army vehicles need their fluids checked. Bolts must be tightned, cables inspected and other equipment checked. The battery maintenance officer (typically a Warrant Officer) must report to the commander and exercise evaluators that we are good to go. ALL vehicles and generators must be in good working order.

There is other equipment too. The battery maintenance officer and his enlisted lackeys get a truck so that they can fix our stuff. The commander gets his HMMWV and a command post tent. The medics and cooks have their tents. They have nothing to do while we train they usually watch DVD's. No joke, most of what does go on is classifed and these folks have no clearance. After we hook up the power and data cables the fun begins.

The ECS has computers that fire the missiles. they can also simulate firing missiles, diagnose problems, recommend fixes and run canned training missions. evaluators score us on how well we do on training missions. If we are a go the first time we are "Q1" and can wait another three months. If we have problems but make it after a restart we are Q2. We stay out in the field UNTIL WE PASS THE EXERCISE. Yes. That is because the air defense mission is so important. Units have stayed out so long that commanders have ordered extra rations to feed the unit. We must pass, failure can kill.

Now once a year we fire live missiles. Nothing beats a live fire. It's like a giant bottle rocket (only you feel the sound in your kidneys). Here is an account of 5-7 ADA's live fire in Crete (they are stationed in Europe).

Chief Warrant Officer 5 Donald Hendricks from the brigade’s Headquarters Battery, the officer-in-charge of the mission, said the exercise was the culmination of more than four months of training by Soldiers of the 5-7th.

“All of the certification these guys go through ... this is the capstone to that, the icing on the cake,” Hendricks said.

Soldiers from the Hanau, Germany-based battalion began training for the live-fire exercise in October. Hendricks explained that the training was an intense and sometimes stressful process monitored by the battalion’s electronic missile maintenance officer.
...

and a missile fired for real in OIF

the sirens are real air raid sirens

For decades, the U.S. military has been accused of exposing service members and the public to chemical and biological warfare agents and simulants. Fears have been stoked by the Cold War's Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD) project, which, in the process of determining the characteristics of large-area CB agent delivery mechanisms, may have exposed troops to dangerous simulants and nerve agents. Then there's the the Bari incident, when soldiers and sailors were swimming in mustard agent when Germans bombed U.S. ships in that Italian harbor. And let's not forget the late-50's field testing of LSD and other hallucinogens like Agent BZ.

As well as selling plush toys Club Penguin will also be selling 2 inch figurines. These will have 3 body parts. Head, Body and Feet and they will be interchangeable.

However, this isn't the case for me.

My alternate I.D. is me.

Quite frankly, I couldn't imagine being anyone else other than myself. This is the reason I construct my internet pages to reflect my true interests and my true self. This is also the reason I construct my online "avatars," similar to the Nintendo Mii's, to look exactly or close to myself. I can't imagine being anyone else other than who I am in real life.

More importantly, my sense of self-realization leads me to create my story characters, specifically Commander A9, as being modeled exactly after myself. He looks like me, talks like me, acts like me, fights like me, leads like me. He is me, and I am him. Anything that my character, Commander A9, has ever done in my stories, I have usually accomplished. Being that these are military stories based on the Command & Conquer series, my character's participation in combat and his combat performance were taken from my actual performance during paintball, videogames, and actual military training. Additional content is also taken from videos I've seen or information I've read, especially with regards to the military. Therefore, my stories reflect an extreme degree of realism when it comes to my characters, especially my own character.

In effect, you could call my stories my own autobiography in story format. I'm not sure if this has ever been done before, but I'd like to think of this method of story-telling as being a unique format.

I can't imagine being anyone else other than myself. I am who I am, in my writing and in my own life.

You see, she is in the Army and will be deployed to Iraq in January of 2009 for a 12 month tour.  She will be trading a year of her life with her husband and a 15 month old baby for a foreign front, sand, guns and other soldiers.  I realize this happens every day all around the country, but it struck me interestingly hard today. 

Was it because it was the mother leaving for a year instead of the father?  Was it because I saw my Abe in her 12 month old son's face?  Was it because of the pain in her voice when she playfully told her son how much she would miss him?  Was it because I was reminded that even as we endure constant political banter and can feel an almost palpable anxiety about our economy, there are still mothers and fathers leaving American soil this very day to fight in a war?  Men and women with the noble cause of preserving one of our most precious and sometimes most underappreciated gifts, our freedom.

I pray for them and all of our military families today.  Never let me forget all that they are doing for me.  God bless them and God bless America.

'Starving men do not fart!'

Pakistan is a quite nation today, we are a starved nation, metaphorically and literally. Some are deprived of 2 proper meals a day, others are deprived of their right to justice, some (like our president) are deprived of common sense, others dont get laid enough(so they blog!) so on and so forth...

However, we're not here to talk about how our economy's constipated, or how our president wants to squeeze Sarah Palin's knockers, we're here to talk about absolutely nothing!

“Whenever the wind stops howling over the mountains of Tora Bora, a deep, rich chuckle can presumably be heard echoing down the valleys. If he is still alive, nobody will be enjoying the plight of America more than Osama bin Laden. The anarchic carnage in the American financial and political system brings in sight a humiliating withdrawal and defeat in Afghanistan and Iraq. It even raises the possibility of the final collapse of the evil empire which Osama forecast.” British columnist Neil Lyndon

If you cant win em join em. Now that you have tried the rest, try the best—

—presenting The American Taliban. The US and UK have reviewed their strategies and plans and come up with a peace plan for Afghanistan. Only time will tell if the Americans will be smoking the peace pipe with the Taliban, but according to press reports the Saudis are playing a significant role in brining the Taliban and Karzai together.

Mr. Karzai has been a total failure. NATO and ISAF have failed to achieve its objectives. The economies of all Western countries are in a free fall. The Neocons sit discredited and maligned, seeking cover under new garb. Islampphobic Guiliani and Tancredo ware rejected by the electorate.

Before the American drones make space for Peace doves in Afghanistan, before the Olive Trees begin blossoming there is time to take stock of the crisis.

A few tactonic events have taken place in West Asia that has led to the new peace initiative:

1) Taking advantage of the confusion in the fledgling new coalition government in Pakistan, the US landed troops into FATA testing the resolve of the Pakistan Army. The Pakistan Army fired at the forces and apparently brought down one helicopter.

… Islamabad halted all fuel shipments to US forces in Afghanistan in the aftermath of a cross-border attack by US special forces in South Waziristan last month. “Any sustained interruption of supplies would seriously hamper our ability to operate in Afghanistan because 80% of the logistical support for the US military operating in Afghanistan flows through Pakistan,” it said, noting that Washington should explore alternative supply routes into Afghanistan in the event that ties with Islamabad worsen. ” Pakistan Policy Working Group” of the government-supported US Institute of Peace (USIP): The Next Chapter: The United States and Pakistan”.

2) A strong of RAW inspired suicide bombings, the rise of Indian agent, Bait Mehsud, and the bombing of the Islamabad Marriott by RAW agents of Indian agents disguised as Al-Qaeda brought the Americans to the clear understanding that things were getting out of control in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

3) The total ineffectively of the Karzai government to control any major chunk of Afghanistan or even Kabul.

4) The inability of NATO and ISAF to defeat and reverse the tide of the 39 insurgent groups that control a major section of Afghanistan.

5) The Financial and economic crisis that has forced Britain to withdraw from Iraq and cannot continue to transfer the forces from one theater of war (Iraq) to another (Afghanistan).

6) NATO and ISAF refused to be drawn into the Cambodiazation of the Afghan war–namely the incursion into Pakistan.

What are the implications of a Taliban ruling Afghanistan? The Removal of Musharraf was a pivotal in putting in place the new strategy.

The report argues that the advent of a civilian-led government in Islamabad during the past year and ultimately the resignation of former president General Pervez Musharraf, combined with the forthcoming change of administrations in the US, marks an important opportunity for Washington “to rethink its entire approach to Pakistan”. Pakistan Policy Working Group” of the government-supported US Institute of Peace (USIP): The Next Chapter: The United States and Pakistan”.

It all came tumbling down. For the past decade the US has attempted to create new realities in Afghanistan. It now thinks that it has sufficiently destroyed the old structures that were in place. It may be grossly mistaken about this. After all the US is only influential in cantonments and US bases. The policy makers may not understand the deep roots of affinity that run between the Pakhtuns. The Paktuns make up a significant part of the Pakistani Army and the Pakhtuns are very influential in the government. With Zardari in power, the US may feel that the tentacles of the ISI may not be as deep as they used to be. In its naivete, the US may feel that the ISI has been defanged. The status quo has been disrupted and now the Americans want a new breed of Taliban to take over Kabul. Afghanistan has now once again been declared an area of influence of Pakistan. It has taken the a decade to acknowledge the fact that the Taliban cannot be defeated.

India with dreams of super power status is the biggest loser in this peace deal. The 107 consulates should be packing their bags. One cannot imagine any circumstance where the current level of Indian influence has any staying power in Afghanistan. The 10,000 Indian soldiers ostensibly there to protect their construction workers will have to go back where they came from. The construction work will be slowed down and wound up. The Indian presence follow the same residence that allowed Lord Curzon to pursue a policy of On to the Oxus, but had to retreat after the defeats at Maiwand etc. The Indian delegation had to pack up its bags and leave Kabul after the Soviets left Afghanistan. A similar fate awaits India.

Pakistan will have to tread carefully. An overly aggressive policy in Afghanistan will rankle many of the powers to be. Slowly but surely, the Durand Line has to be erased, and the inevitable union between Afghanistan Pakistan will emerge.

The basic implication is that most of the NATO and ISAF forces will withdraw from Afghanistan. When the Soviets withdrew it took the Afghans a decade to purge Afghanistan of the remnants of a decade long Soviet Occupation. It may take the Afghans a bit longer. Mr. Karzai surely will either be hanging from the nearest tree or enjoying life on one of the islands that he has purchased for himself.

The long term interests of the US may or may not be secure in Kabul. For a decade it has tried itself and tried to use the Indians in controlling Kabul. Both policies have failed miserably. Now the US has not only acknowledged the role of Pakistan in Afghan affairs, it is now using the good offices of Pakistani politicians to broker a peace agreement between the warring factions. This is exactly the agreement that Pakistan has been espousing for more than a decade. This was the agreement to which the Taliban had agreed to in September 2001. However at the time “Imperial Hubris” did not allow the Neocon policy makers to listen to sanity. The American Tin ear did not listen to the sagacious advice given to Washington by Islamabad. Pakistani advice was ignored and Afghanistan and Iraq were bombed to smithereens. Sadly in doing so the US actually strengthened Anti-Americanism in the world.

Having learnt their lesson the Russians have tried to stay out of the conflict in West Asia. Now the Chinese and the Russians will vie for access to warm waters.

Various American and British newspapers are already reporting on the peace deal.

Against the backdrop of a string of suicide bombings in Pakistan, British, American, and United Nations officials are grappling with the idea of a negotiated settlement with the Taliban. Christian Science Monitor October 6th, 2008

Mr Karzai said his envoys had travelled to Saudi -Arabia and neighbouring Pakistan to try to kick-start negotiations that are increasingly seen as the only solution to the violent insurgency gripping Afghanistan. The Financial Times

The chorus about the defeat in Afghanistan is now plastered all over the media. Perception is reality. The reality has caught up with the perception of the war in Afghanistan.

The departing commander of British forces in Afghanistan says he believes the Taleban will never be defeated. Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith, the commander of 16 Air Assault Brigade… told The Times

that in his opinion, a military victory over the Taliban was “neither feasible nor supportable.”…He indicated that the only way forward was to find a political solution that would include the Taliban. The Sunday Times

The defeat in Afghanistan is complete. Only the announcement is left. Well now the announcement also just came in. The war in Afghanistan is over—Now there is a plethora of news stories endorsing the writings.

ISLAMABAD (AFP) — Former Pakistani premier Nawaz Sharif is willing to broker talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, his spokesman said Tuesday, amid reports that Sharif is already playing a key role.

The offer came after a Pakistani newspaper reported that Sharif, in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, is helping to seek a settlement between the hardline Taliban and the US-backed regime of President Hamid Karzai. AFP October 6th, 2008

The story of Afghanistan and colonialism begins a long time ago. British tried to take up White Man’s burden in Afghanistan.

NATO Lessons: 1880 UK defeat at Maiwand-Afghanistan

NATO Lessons: 1880 UK defeat at Maiwand-Afghanistan
Is NATO committing suicide in Afghanistan.
NATO lessons: UK defeat at Maiwind may shed some light on today’s situation.

1) There are news items that Iran has been helping some of the insurgent anti-American groups in Afghanistan–most specifically there are reports that Iran has been supporting Gulbadin Hikmatyar.

2) The US has been pressuring NATO and ISAF to help the US in a Iraq-like surge in Afghanistan? The UK has made it clear that it is in no position to support the war in Iraq and is withdrawing its troops from Iraq next year. The redeployment of those forces to Afghanistan is no longer economically feasible for the United Kingdom.

3) In response to the growing pressure, various American, UN and British commanders have publicly announced that “the war in Afghanistan is not winnable.

4) The Saudis were pressured by the US to assist in brining Mr. Karzai and the Taliban to the “peace table”.

5) Mr. Nawaz Sharif the ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Opposition Leader was the bridge between Mr. Karzai and the representatives of Mullah Omar

6) Apparently the US has agreed to the Taliban coming back to power on the condition that they sever the links with Al-Qaeda

7) The Taliban have demanded that they will only participate in a government if the NATO, ISAF, and US occupation forces are withdrawn from the Hindu Kush

Nawaz mediating between Taliban, Karzai

ISLAMABAD: PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif is playing a key role in conjunction with Saudi Arabia in bringing about a negotiated settlement between the Taliban and the Karzai regime to pave the way for withdrawal of the US and Nato forces from Afghanistan.
“It was for this precise reason that the PML-N chief has put off his departure from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan for another two days,” an informed source told The News. According to his new programme, the PML-N chief will return home on Tuesday.

“Nawaz Sharif was invited by Saudi King Abdullah and he undertook the present visit to stay in Saudi Arabia for nearly two weeks to talk about the nitty-gritty of the peace process,” the source said.

The day the PML-N chief landed in Saudi Arabia, he had a 90-minute meeting with the Saudi monarch, the source said, adding different national and regional issues, particularly the ongoing wave of terrorist attacks in Pakistan and bloodshed in Afghanistan, were discussed in detail.

According to a US media report on Monday, secret peace talks have been held between the Afghan government and the Taliban in the Saudi Kingdom. Both sides agreed to resolve the Afghan issue through dialogue, it said.

While PML-N leaders, closely working with Nawaz Sharif, were aware of Nawaz Sharif’s objective behind his extended stay in Saudi Arabia, sources close to President Asif Zardari were oblivious of the PML-N chief’s “role” and “efforts” in bringing the warring sides on the negotiating table.

“Nawaz Sharif is serving as a bridge,” one political source said and added the PML-N chief is an “old hand” on Afghanistan. During his two stints as prime minister, Nawaz Sharif had developed good working relations with almost all the Afghan Mujahideen leaders, who were now largely irrelevant because of the fighting strength of the Taliban.

The source referred to the March 1993 Islamabad accord, which eight Afghan Mujahideen leaders had signed because of Nawaz Sharif’s efforts.Nawaz Sharif stayed just a few days in Pakistan after his return from Britain and then flew into Saudi Arabia. In London, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband had a meeting with him in which Nato forces’ operations in Afghanistan and constant failures to control the situation figured prominently.

Sources believed that the Saudi initiative in which Nawaz Sharif had his own role has the backing of Washington and London.A British general has been quoted as saying that the war in Afghanistan can’t be won. Additionally, there have been reports of willingness of Washington and London for holding talks with the Taliban, especially after the incapacitation of the Karzai regime.

NATO needs 400,000 soldiers in Afghanistan. According to British and American General, even that would not be enough to defeat the Taliban. No country or group of countries have that amount of manpower to spare. The financial crisis in America and Europe makes it virtually impossible for the UK to send in an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. The Europeans and NATO is unable and unwilling to continue the war in Afghanistan.

There is not military solution to the Afghan quagmire. We have been advocating a more comprehensive solution for a decade. Replacing Mr. Karzai with Zalmay Khalilzad is like moving the deck chairs on the Titanic. The whole game is over. The US and European media too busy with the US elections has still not caught up with the reality of the fiasco in Kabul. The end is near.

Rupee News for several years has proposed that the Pakhtun areas of Afghanistan should be handed over to the Pakistani military and NATO and ISAF should leave Pakistan. Now this is affirmed by some American Thinktanks. Saving the Pashtuns of Afghania from Afghanistan. Eradicating the Pashtun plight and ending occupation.

Moscow - The global perception of the Russia-Georgia war this summer is that an armored juggernaut of old Soviet military proportions rolled over its puny rival after a five-day conflict.

But the view from Moscow is different. Many Russian military experts are still shaking their heads in dismay over a catalog of delays and mistakes that plagued the Russian Army's thrust into South Ossetia.

"The war made it clear that we have all kinds of shortcomings in equipment, training, battlefield coordination, and intelligence," says Alexei Arbatov, a military expert with the Carnegie Center in Moscow.

The Russian Army's questionable performance has prompted urgent debate here over Russia's need for a modern, mobile, professional army capable of rapidly responding to challenges that might erupt along Russia's long borders with its unstable post-Soviet neighbors. In fact, the August conflict is giving fresh impetus for a 30 percent jump in defense spending, and a military modernization plan.

My June Cleaver dress never came. It will probably come today, with my luck. However, I DID get second place in the cookie baking contest! I won a couple 1/509th wine glasses, and a gift card to the worst salon in Leesville. OF COURSE the prize for the cookie baking contest was a gift card to a salon. Hopefully this time when I leave the place I won't need to go buy a hat.

I am off to Baton Rouge, for a day or so of screwing around and taking pictures and laughing with my husband, before he leaves until December. *mwah*

But there was this girl from Bray Park (shit.hole) who thought she was all that. She reminded me of a "rich" kid the way she spoke and told her incredibly funny jokes. I hate her, she called my school a hole and myself a shithead. I'm thinking what bitch, seriously, is she kidding, Bray Park is like a shit hole, everyone knows it and it's full of sluts. Seriously, Bray Park! WTF!

Anyway...now I have to do a participation task that is due in 4 weeks for a competition, which if I win, I get to go to Canberra for some Youth Challenge day. Apparently everyone has a reallllllly good chance of winning, because there was only about 200 people at the Brisbane one (theres one in every major capital city). So hopefully my video turns out to be kickass. Should be, considering there's an Australian war hero living next door to me.

It was funny how they kept pushing the day as a non recruitment thing but "subtly" they put in little advertisements. Like we had showbags, which had stickers, magnets, tatoos, hats and all kinds of stuff that all had "13 19 01" on it. So it was a big thing full of RECRUIT NOW RECRUIT NOW! They even had a USB in there that had a label that said 256MB. I was like alright, sweet a USB. But nooo, I put it in ready to put some crap on it and my screen suddenly turns back, only to then come up with a movie thing about the ADF, and then all these links to find out what I can do and how I can join. And I looked at the size of the USB and it was only 50MB!! It was such a jip! There were also ADF personnell there who answered questions, and then at lunch time would come up and talk to you about the ADF and about how cool it is. Non recruitment my ass.

The food was also really gross, morning tea was a gingerbread man and a popper (because we're 5 years old) and then lunch was a shitload of shit. First was tiny triangle cut sandwiches, and then was disgusting pies (which were cold), they were basically potato bake in cold pie form. Then they brought out chicken chippies and spring rolls, the chicken was nice but the spring rolls were gross. When I first saw them I made a comment to a chick who was also looking upon them in dismay and she said I sounded a little American. That's insulting! I do not sound American!

So that my exciting day at the Defence 2020 thing at the museum..

I haven't been on the internet all week until today, so terrible. I'm behind on everything now...Stuipd school.

Great morale boosting message to the troops: "go out and get shot for us, and by the way, your on your own if you get injured (or worse). This is in addition to the substandard housing issued to their families back hom - cockroaches, that sort of thing - and of course the insulting fact that parking wardens are paid more. Lives are being lost because they don't have the right equipment, not enough helicopters, or medical staff. Can it get any worse? Watch Ross Kemp's programme if you want to see what it's like - it's harrowing.

This government is even more morally bankrupt than Watervole previously thought it was. Why, oh why, can't we sent the cabinet to the front line...

It has finally happened. The longest running boy band has temporarily called it quits because of the inevitable military service.

Eric of Shinhwa has finally left to fulfill his military duties at Choongnam Nonsan Military Center on October 9, 2008. He was sent off by 200 fans from both China and Japan.

His departure now signals the countdown for the rest of the 5 members. Dongwan is up next in November and Minwoo in May 2009. On the other hand, Junjin has postponed his start for February 2009 with his announcement on October 6, 2008, With Shin Hyesung exempted from service due to his physical condition, Andy will probably follow with an announcement of his own once his solo activities are also finished.

Although this is a sad time for many dedicated fans, it was probably a good thing. With the comebacks of what seems to be every "idol" group in Fall 2008, there would have been too much competition for them anyways...

Stock market is down again today.  It hasn't been this low in five years.  Probably not going to be any better tomorrow since the Asian markets opened lower.  Back in July, we decided to transfer our IRA funds into 6 month CD's.  We are not that financially savvy but we kept watching the balance go down and knew the presidential campaign would be contentious, and that Wall St. hates uncertainty.  We simply wanted to stop the bleeding for awhile.  Our advisor advised against it and warned that it could turn around at any time, then we would be sorry.  I told him that all it would take was one hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and it could tank again.  (Since then, we had 2 hurricanes in the gulf.)  I recently did the same with my 401K plan, after realizing that all of my contributions I had put in this year were gone.  I ended up changing my investments by putting everything into a very conservative plan.  They have an automatic system that supposedly recommends proper investments for your situation.  After analysing where I was, it determined that if I followed its recommendations, I could go from losing 13% a year to losing only 11.5% a year.  I decided to follow the not recommended scenario of making only 2% per year.  Again, simply to stop the bleeding. 

If I did have some extra money to invest right now, I would definetely buy some real estate.  It's a tremendous bargain right now and you know it will be up again in 5 to 10 years.

I heard an interesting story from a single woman who told me that she had been seeing a really nice guy for awhile, but it just didn't work out.  She discovered a certain habit that he had and she felt she had to end the relationship.  As she said, "You find a great guy, who gives you everything you need, and then he goes and wears your underwear."

Have a nice day.

I don't know what to do

Should I start with the dishes,

Or unpack the shoes?

Where to put that plasma TV?

Oh!  The puppy needs to go wee!!!!!

Tonight in our own beds

Without curtains or sheets

Is the back yard long enough

for our RV?

Yes, we closed on our house yesterday.  And today at 7:30 am the movers were here to unload all our stuff.  Along with all the fun of moving and buying, we had a plumber visit 3 times in the past 2 days, and our pilot light on our water heater would not light.  So, we had a guy out to fix that.

But all is well, at least all is calm right now.  There is that one cricket in the basement that was not eradicated by the bug bomb.  He seems to be very ecstatic tonight.

Axel (our big dog) is hiding because she hates moving boxes.  The puppy that was potty trained in our RV has not figured out where the bathroom in the new house is yet.  The kids, excited at seeing their stuff again, drug out every barbie and plastic toy they could find in the boxes and spread them on their bedroom floor.

Oh, but we are home.  We have a place to call home.  Praise the Lord, for he has been so faithful in providing every step of the way.  Our loan rate dropped a full 3/4 of a point, our payment is less that we planned, and everything has worked itself out.

Next comes the fun part of figuring out where to put things, and painting (as we stripped the hall and kitchen of it's distasteful wallpaper while we were waiting on the plumber).

YAWN, Goodnight.
