Wow, this certainly was not intentional

Day one of the new year has had a familiar start for me as it has for the past few years. I’m not sure why it has become a couples holiday or event. Because the year changes over just the same for all of us single people too.

Yet, every party or event is couples only or it’s a family event and if you aren’t with your family that particular day there you are alone in a sea of people. That is a strange feeling.

My intention was not to write something blah, but I just sat down and this is what flowed from the stream. I’m also not sure why it is that the auto correct is telling me that the new and year together need to be capitalized. It is correct the way it is without the capital letters. Yeah we need to do more things by computer. They are only as smart as we want them to be and they are only as efficient as the programmers.

One of the programs we use at work requires 8 different page openings before you can do anything that is of course after you go through the 6 step process to get to that page. It goes down a lot too, not as much as oh lets say trashy girls but a lot.

While we are on the subject of trashy girls, I’m not sure what it is about them that is so darn appealing. Le sigh. I also know to stay away from them too. One because they will steal your stuff, two they usually have an ex who is currently incarcerated and soon to be released or has just recently been released from incarceration. Three, in addition to the property crimes things, they do tend to be a wee bit violent, with that they prefer knives. Think a gun helps a person with a knife can close a 30 foot distance before you can draw a pistol. Where in your house will you be more than 30 feet from this person when they snap in to deranged mode. Four, related to the latter snap is the high percentage for mental health issues. Five, related to mental health issue is usually some form of substance abuse in an attempt to self medicate.

But when you see them walking around in the tattered jeans and the wife beater… well everyone has their Achilles heel, it’s better to know than not know so you can avoid the pit falls of this sort of thing. Think this is not a good look, ladies pop in the movie The Town or just ask your man what he thought of Blake Lively in that movie and you will know if your man is attracted to trashy girls or not. While her part isn’t very big in that movie she nailed that role.

In other news

I know you are so glad that the ode to the trashy girl is over. We have a new captain for the ship and the hammer is about to fall. Not sure what exactly is going to happen but things will happen. Anytime, there is a change of captains there are always new orders or a new priority on how things get done. The private sector doesn’t like change and I’m as guilty of disliking change as much as the next person but I grumble when I can but do it the new way. Not because it’s easier it’s just the way I was trained.

The military does that to you or for you. Change can happen very quickly in the military and you’ll be taking orders from a new somebody in the blink of an eye which is why they change your commanders frequently enough so you get used to change but not so frequently as to make thing chaotic. If they can’t change the commanders they change the mission and if they can’t change the mission they exercise you. Change happens, change is necessary to remain productive, viable and effective. In the military you change and if you don’t like it bitch about it on your own time. Which technically is when your enlistment is over but there is off duty time when you are free to gripe bitch and or complain in a respectful fashion. You just don’t blindly follow orders, if the orders are wrong you don’t follow them and the UCMJ allows you to do this without repercussion. The private sector doesn’t really prepare people to same way. The new captain hasn’t done anything for several months but lay low and see what is going on. Which is worse in some cases than the person who comes in and on day one has a new game plan and says this is what I want and you will conform.

So we have a meeting and the general pulse of things is that heads will roll. Happy New Year, see computer it is appropriate here you dumb firetrucking machine. I probably won’t be letting you all know the content of said meeting because the trend lately here I the good ol’ US of A is to squash your free speech and fire anyone who says disparaging things about their place of employment and in an economy which has taken up residency at the south pole it’s not a good idea to rock the boat or fly above radar.

In other, other news.

The USAS automatic shotgun RAWKS … hells yeah and stuff. However, freaking kill count whores who want to rush through the co-op missions are fucking annoying the crap out of me. The job of a sniper is to be silent and accurate … one shot one muther fucking kill you stupid noob… Sorry it is just very frustrating to me that these people are the very definition of insanity … doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result over and over and over again. If it didn’t work the way you did it, it means the programming doesn’t like your solution…ie you fail. Be smarter than the firetrucking machine.


Oh and if you are new what starts with F and ends in UCK, that’s right Firetruck.

Happy New Year, hope you don’t have a hang over and if you do well probably best to avoid the sun for a bit, drink lots of water and take some meds you’ll live, you may not wish you had right now but you’ll be happy about it later, unless you hooked up with a trashy girl in which case you may be missing some thing and or suffering from some injuries. In which case, sorry I’m your year will get better because starting off on such a low point where else is there to go but up. See the silver lining but don’t say that to the trashy girl because she’ll beat you for the silver.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Not a creature was stirring, I am not a creature

This one will be rather short as I don’t know how much time I have before the house wakes up. I’m sure I have at least an hour or more.

The dynamic duo are both teens now, one in her last months as a teen and the other a frosh. Sleep is the most important thing to a teen once they start doing it. There lies the rub, getting them to sleep, but once their down it’s hard to get them back up.

So getting up Christmas mourn is not the priority that it once was, like the girl in the hallmark commercials doodle would have been announcing the days until with great joy for all around. 8 days, 5 hours, 17 minutes

Now it is 8 hours, 24 minutes 29 seconds in and not a creature is stirring well except me and the animal farm.

We’ve enjoyed breakfast already and are working on the morning routine.

But the beta unit’s phone just blasted some dance tune download so it is proof that somewhere in the rest of the world is moving around too.

There is a pile of gifts under the tree to be opened once the teens rouse from their slumber so I’m thinking 10ish perhaps but I could be proven wrong

Doodle came over last night to eat with stunt boy and I and their grandmother (beta unit). Everyone was really polite about my less than stellar stuffed shells. Even I’ll admit that they were not grand at all but they were edible. More than edible really just not spiced enough, so they were a little lacking in the tasty area. So no taste explosion more of a taste fizzle.

Then we watched our favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually. Well I’m not sure that is stuntboys favorite because he kept playing minecraft throughout but Doodle, Beta and myself were quoting favorite sections.

Doodle and I both did the OOOO…would we call her chubby line. Followed by the Yes Sir there is a pretty sizable ass there line.

Jinx you owe me a coke.

Anyway, it is a fabulous movie and the machine needs to stop trying to copy it with every other freaking holiday out there, because they have all been fails. I’m not even going to see the New Years Eve on because I know it’s going to suck more than a noob in a shooter game

Merry Happy Whatever Days, hope everyone is enjoying themselves and is having a wonderful time.


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Christmas eve day

It is Christmas Eve, early as in still day light and it will probably still be about 24 hours before the slashing into paper fury begins. The oohs and awes and OMG thanks that is just want I wanted are heard. Well that’s what you want to hear anyway, so hopefully it will be … or heads will roll. Just kidding putting heads of people on spikes is more a Valentines day tradition than it is a Christmas sport.

Doodle did that one year, but not on Christmas and not real people just several of her Barbie dolls were decapitated and their heads put on spikes in the front yard, you know so as to ward off barbarians.

Stuntboy hasn’t ever decapitated anything that I know of at least and is a very good child. Not that doodle is not a good child, but good would be the word most people think of when they think of stuntboy. That said he has had more run ins with the police asking him what he is up to than any other kid that I can think of. Doodle never had any, well that she told me about.

That will be for Christmases in the future, when stunt boy is 18 and the statue of limitations for punishments is over for everyone. Oh hey dad did you know that we did that or this thing when were 15. Some of it you do know about and then some of it you don’t.

I know this is coming because we played that game with the alpha and beta unit once we were all beyond the 18 year old barrier. I don’t think they knew everything we told them we had done.

I think they knew about the other one stabbing me in the leg, but I’m not certain. There was no hiding the machete wound to the other ones face he got they other time we were fighting with real machetes, yes that implies more than once. Although there wasn’t much that the other one and I ever got away with. The peacemaker however got away with all sorts of stuff and even if we told on him, I know how un brotherly he still got away with it. The units would say it does not compute the peacemaker wouldn’t do that and he would look at us and be like “fug u enz guys” which without the southern accent is fuck you guys, which he seemed to pick up and the other one and I did not. Go figure?

An example of the peacemaker getting over on the units was this, they believed he was allergic to grass, but he could mow anyone’s yard around ours for money and no effect if he tried to mow ours his eyes by a miracle would swell shut. How did this miracle occur? He would rub handfuls of grass in his eyes, yup. Then of course they would swell shut and tear up and the units would be you boy will have to do all of his yard work. WTF??? He would be like I don’t work for free but you fuckers can. He likes to use the work fuck too, not poetic license he says it more than a military unit and that is a lot. He dropped that information bomb on them years after the other one and I were saying he isn’t allergic to grass only the kind that you rub in his eyes.

However Stunt boy is just a pup still and it will be a few more Christmases before the enlightenment bombs start falling in the invisible fortress but I don’t think there are as many as my brothers and I dropped on our parents.

In other news

Doodle goes away to go away college soon and there will be much sadness in the land.

Stunt boy has suggested that December 23 be a new holiday Christmas Eve, Eve. I think most of the working world and school children would agree that such a thing should be a holiday. So, President Obama if you are reading my blog, what I really want for Christmas is for you to make my son’s idea a reality and declare December 23 as Christmas Eve, Eve and that it is a national holiday. (fingers crossed)

Hey the OE.gov has been to my blog before, the office of the executive that’s the big B so you never know. Although it was during W’s time in office and there was a bikini issue that day so it might have been for other reasons.

Merry Happy Whatever Days to all of you and to all a good day or good night that you celebrate.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely, but probably not as it will be Christmas day and the beta unit will be here and that is time for visiting. So Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Merry Happy Whatever Day

The holiday season is upon us and I’m having a hard time getting into the holiday season. I think part of it is that around this time of year there really are not any traditions that go along with the holiday. Well I did have one tradition and I am going to carry on with it which is the writing of letters to Santa from me to my kids. However they are both now at an age where they no longer believe and it has removed part of what I loved in doing that for them.

That magic may exist, an innocence that no matter what anything in the world is possible that reindeer can fly and that a portly elf has a magic bag that can hold enough prizes for everyone in the world, and there is a legendary fortress existed where few dare to live where toys of every shape and size were made.

Awesome little thought, sadly we all let that thought go. The really sad part isn’t that kids put away the notion of the elf and the reindeer. Many also loose the part that anything in the world is possible. Now it may not be magic that makes it possible but why can’t that be true.

I suppose it is for some people the real true believers, not in myth and legend but the believers in themselves. I can do it. They usually have a few people around them that say you can do it too. Or they are fueled by the haters who are saying no you can’t, and do it to say YES I CAN.

I think the thing that is keeping me out of the holiday spirit is the money thing, if nothing else 2011 as a year has shown the MONEY is the true religion in this world especially in the US. Sorry to get up on a soap box here but really it has taken over every part of our lives.

Most of the bills I pay are payments to banks I’m sure most of your bills are to banks as well. And if you consider that mortgage lenders are banks that specifically deal with one type of banking the loaning of money for property then apart from utilities and groceries all my money goes to banks.

The whole thing just consumes my joy and I think part it is that this is the high holy holiday for the god of money

The holiday is further driven apart by intolerance, one group so focused that the day isn’t recognized for the prescribed meaning. Which it isn’t really what the true purpose of this holiday was made up to do. And in that line of thought perhaps how we celebrate it by bowing down to corporate greed we are doing exactly what was intended. Which is to submit to the will of those above us. In case you lost me in my lack of being clear. The Church, and that would be Christianity decided that that pagans, any non Christian were still holding on to too many celebrations involving the winter solstice.

So it is decided that the Christian calendar would celebrate the birth of Jesus at the same time taking away the need for the pagan holiday. Because the census mentioned in the birth of Jesus story happened in the summer so in all likelihood Jesus was born in late August or early September not December. Problem there is the autumnal equinox is not a big deal and people were too busy with the harvest to celebrate too much and it what they did was mainly drink a lot once the harvest was pulled from the fields and stored for the winter. Then there is the preparing of the foods so they will last the months to come so every one is still too busy until winter when if you don’t have it done by now well it is too late phuck it lets celebrate a good year and hope for a better one to come.

Work and a better year to come by doing better work and perhaps smarter work is the true meaning of the holiday not the birth of anyone.

On the other side of it the intolerance of those who aren’t in the one group being offended by the other groups holiday and the sayings. When in Rome do as the Romans do. The US is a predominately Christian nation. The Christians celebrate Christmas, hell there name is in the holiday, made up or not it is there way of celebrating. Let them and if someone says Merry Christmas and you don’t subscribe to that being a real holiday so what. Let them say it and then say Happy Chanukah back to them, or Happy Kwanza or happy holidays, Happy Festivus or have a Cool Yule or just say thanks.

Now Christian doesn’t get attitude when those who are different than you fire back their holiday sayings …it’s about Tolerance. Not everyone thinks the same and it is a good thing we are not Borg, I’m not really a Trekie but it fits with a single thinking race, one thought for all. The thing is when some one says happy holidays or some other saying which is not merry Christmas lots of people get all bent and are like WTF OMG what a load of crap they we can’t have it our way. Dontcha know this is about the birth of Geebus goddabbit. Firetruck and stuff.

Take a deep breath because one, it isn’t and second it’s ok if people are different. And if your political governing body has a holiday festival and to be all inclusive of all people regardless of their faith and doesn’t call it a Christmas Festival its because they are political and not religious. Let your church have its own Christmas thing and then you know what because it’s a church the political people and everyone else can’t say you can’t call it that. Because you can, and you can say merry Christmas until your lips fall off.

Point is that we have to be more tolerant of each other and the counter argument to this is that if your political body has a festival this time of year and calls it a Christmas Festival and you aren’t Christian, like me, you can one not go, two except that this is Rome and the Romans will do as they please, or three have your own holiday function even if that holiday function is to do nothing. Now you may want to vomit every time you walk out the door or turn on any mass media thing but hey it’s the holidays if nothing else you get a day or two off from work. But don’t be the same hater that you hate and for the same reason of intolerance.

In other super happy fun time news my stupid dog howls all wolf like when the fire engines play their sirens like the fire trucks are part of a pack that she needs to communicate with. Being that I live very near a fire station it happens a lot. I don’t mind that she does this because I know that wolves are not going to show up on my door step, I worry that my neighbors might because she bays really loudly. They haven’t yet but if they do, I might just say well she’s a wolf what do expect, she isn’t nearly big enough to be a wolf and looks a little special and by special I mean a bit slow in the thought processing area, but she is pretty.



Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
