Life

It's been how long since I last blogged? Dang!! Sorry folks.

Life seems to take the strangest turns sometimes. I don't really want to go to Turkey, but part of me is really looking forward to it. People who have been there keep telling me that I will love it. Other people tell me that they wish they were going. My Mom called the other night and asked if I was going to be one of those guys that gets to Turkey and then goes to Afghanistan to teach them how to set up computers. She saw some 20/20 show about that. I told her that I didn't think so. Now she has me wondering. Hopefully I will get a sponsor soon so I can find out more about the job.

What has everyone else been up to? I need a lot of time to try and catch up with everyone's blog.

Make a nice day!

POODLE!!!@#$!$@#@

OK.

I have to go to Turkey for a year. I won't be coming back to the Space Coast after that. I am going to have to create a new blog for Turkey. I'll take all ideas for a name for the new Turkey blog. I have a few months before I have to go, so hopefully I can get my affairs in order. I have been advised to buy as many silk rugs as I can and ship them back. Evidently they cost around $1000 over there and can be resold back here in the states for anywhere between $7000 to $10000 each. Anyone know this for a fact? Anyone looking for a new silk rug? What should I look for? What should I avoid? I will be in Izmir, Turkey so if anyone has a friend there that they would trust to sell me rugs, give me a holler.

Make a nice day.

Who, what, where am I?

It has been 2 weeks since I posted last. A lot has happened. I was very busy. I went up and got Gorgeous and moved her down here with me. We got back here last Friday night. We have boxes all over the house still. My stereo got unplugged and her sound system got set up. So did her tv. They are nicer than mine. Yesterday morning after PT, I got a bad email. I got selected for an assignment. A remote assignment. To Turkey. I have to be there no later than 30 November. That sucks. I guess I screwed up when I made MSgt. I can't turn the assignment down for the same reason I couldn't turn MSgt down. I would be a civilian this December with no retirement from the AF after 19 years. So that means I am going to Turkey for a year. It puts our plans on hold for a while, but I am positive everything will work out. When it will work out I'm not sure. At least I will be able to buy more gold cheaply and it gives me a chance to get a silk rug that I have wanted!

Make a nice Independence Day!

Tired

I am so tired tonight. I finally managed to crawl into bed and talk to Gorgeous for a little while last night around 2245. About 30 seconds after I hung up with Gorgeous, my pager went off. I ended up having to go in to work to fix an emergency problem because the person who was supposed to make a change to their workstations last month didn't do it. I finally got home at 0115 and crawled back into bed. Then the alarm went off. It sure felt like when I was young and just came home from the club!

The day wasn't bad though. I had to go to a meeting that all the promotees had to go to at 1100 and they even fed us. Then I was back at work for an hour and 45 minutes, then I had to be at the Enlisted Club to get ready for the promotion party. The promotion party was scheduled to start at 1500 but we got started a little early. I drank cokes all afternoon, but there were two kegs of beer and a fully stocked bar. There was also a buffet of snack foods so that people wouldn't be drinking on an empty stomach. Around 1630 I was heading out the door to come home when one of the guys from the office showed up so I took him out to where the beer was and bs'd for a while then we went inside to the bar and found several people from work in there drinking and having a good time. I just sat and laughed and had a good time listening to everyone tell stories. I can finally say that I saw a woman in her 50's shoot beer out her nose unintentionally.

Gorgeous called me while the party was going on so I didn't get a chance to talk to her for more than a minute. I had several people yelling to her that I was being very bad and that I was totally wasted. I was the sober one though. Hehehe. I had a lot of fun laughing though.

I think I am going to go to bed early tonight. Like maybe right after I post this.

Tell your Pookie that you love them and Make a Nice Day!!

Made It!!!

I finally got my invitation to the Top-3 group. What does that mean? For all you non-military types it means that I finally made Master Sergeant, which is E-7 paygrade. I guess the fact that I finally quit worrying about making it let me actually make it. Now all I have to do is figure out what will happen because of this.

Make a nice day!!

500

The Band - Up On Cripple Creek



This is my 500th post! Never even thought I would post this much. I had to steal a video from MySpace.

Something I have learned through much trial and error, you can choose to passively have a nice day, or you can be active and MAKE A NICE DAY! I hope everyone chooses what is best for them.

I choose to Make a nice day!

Launch!

They launched the shuttle again tonight. Here is a picture from it. I could hear the roar of the engines for a long time after I couldn't see it anymore.

This is post 499 for me, so I have to think of something special for number 500.

Make a nice day!

Oh Really...

I found this over at Bekah's blog.

You Are An ISTJ

The Duty Fulfiller You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done. You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knitting. Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you. Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy. In love, you are loyal and honest. If you commit yourself to someone, then you're fully committed. For you, love is something that happens naturally. And you don't need romantic gestures to feel loved. At work, you remember details well and are happy to take on any responsibility. You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer. How you see yourself: Decisive, stable, and dependable When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, conservative, and egotistical

What's Your Personality Type?

Video

TG said she liked this one. She even got the code for me since I can't seem to remember my YouTube password. I hope you enjoy it too.





Make a Nice Day!!

A week or so ago, Lil Bit posted 10 questions for her readers. I was lazy and got busy with life and time slipped by. I had told her that I would answer the questions though so here I am. I already made sure she had them privately since I was unsure of putting a few of these answers in the public domain. I figure why not, I have posted everything else out here. So why not? Remember these are questions that she asked of her readers, and my responses to her.

1. Why do you have a blog & what does blogging mean to you? (Is it diff from when you started? If so, how? Consider stopping anytime soon?)

I have a blog because when I started blogging I was looking for an outlet to vent my frustrations and get everything out in the open without talking to a shrink or a preacher. Now it gives me a way to talk to friends and let them know what is going on in my head and my life. I have thought about stopping, but I still need an outlet sometimes so I keep going. I have stopped blogging as much as I used to though.

2. Why do you read my blog? (If you've been a long-time reader, do you think mine has changed? - for better, worse, or neutral?)

I started reading it, because there was this hot chick that kept posting pictures of herself and then I started actually reading it and got hooked. I still read it, because while the format has changed some, it is still the same hot chick that posted pictures of herself.

3. Why do you think some people regularly read a blog but never leave a comment? Have you discovered a way to bring the lurkers outta hiding or do you care if they comment?

People read blogs but don’t want to comment. Sometimes I feel like I don’t know enough about a situation to leave a comment on it. No and No. :)

4. What percentage of your readers is female and what percentage is male (of those you're aware)?

Not positive, but I think the majority of my readers are female. There are 3 guys that I know of that read my blog.

5. Are there any kinds of posts you wish you saw here but rarely (or never) do?

Full on Nekkid? :)

6. Are you working in the profession you thought you would & are you happy with your job?

No. Yes I am!

7. Are you *completely* happy/content with your life overall right now? If not, why? What do you want to change?

Not completely. TG isn’t here with me yet, but she will be soon! If I could rig the lottery so that I would win and be rich, then Hell yeah! :)

8. What's your favorite color(s) and number(s)?

I like pink, and as Bill and Ted put it, “69 Dude!!”

9. Would you tell me something about yourself that I don't already know?

You already know everything about me!

10. Do you have a secret blog (or can ya tell me? lol)? And if I told you the addy of my erotic blog, how would it affect/change your opinion of me?

This IS my secret blog!! No it wouldn’t change my opinion of you. I would be busy reading for a while though!! :)

Questions

Everybody has questions that they think of after the fact. I want to know what some people wished they had thought to ask before they got married (or attached). TG asked this on her blog a month or so ago, and I figured I would do the same. I'm not talking about what religion, how many kids you have to have type of things. I am interested in finding out the little things that you would have liked to have known before hand. Like the fact that I prefer Irish Spring soap, while TG prefers Dove.

Tell me what kind of questions for little things you would have liked to asked.


Make a nice day!

Karma, why risk it?

I figured out why I haven't been sleeping well the past couple days. I keep tossing and turning and not really sleeping. Karma has been hanging over my head like a lead balloon. One of the things I detest about people is rudeness, and my rudeness towards my ex's new husband. So this morning after a rather energetic outing of Ultimate Frisbee I swung by their house and knocked on the door. When he answered the door I apologized for my rudeness. We talked for about 10 minutes. He is heading back to Iraq on Thursday. I hope he has enough life insurance coverage and put some of it in my ex's name.

So now I feel better about myself since I am not the type of person who likes to be rude. I know that he and I will never be drinking buddies or friends, but at least I know that I have made amends and I hope Karma forgives me.


Tell your Pookie that you love them and Make a nice day!!

Anger

I just got home. I had to go in to work for a few hours and Mud's mama actually kept her while I went in. I figured I would be there maybe an hour. Turned out I was at work for over 2 hours. When I finally got out of there and went to pick Mud up, I went to the door and knocked. The ex answered it and had the gall to ask me if I wanted to meet her new husband. I politely told her no and she said "Are you sure?" I told her that I was positive I didn't want to meet him. She calls Holly and while I was waiting he came to the door and stuck his hand out to shake and introduce himself. I turned my back on him and started to walk away. I just couldn't go without saying something. I turned back around and told him "I used to have a lot of respect for PJ's. Then you came along." He had a very strange look on his face, but then Mud came through the door and I walked away. Now I am still angry at him. It seems so very stupid of me. I have forgiven the ex for what she did, but I can't seem to forgive him. I must need to go to church more.

I was typing this and got sidetracked while putting Mud to bed. I had to remake her bed and the phone rang. It was the ex. Mud answered the phone and I told her to tell her I would call her back. I didn't. She just called again, it is 10:45 pm. She was mad that I was "Rude" to her husband. I told her that I may have forgiven her, but I had not forgiven him. Maybe in the future I will, but I wasn't there now. Now I am mad again. My hands are shaking. I think I need to talk to a shrink or something.

Why do I even care anymore?

Make a nice day. Somebody needs to.
