I applied and got assigned a new guy to support. Go to SOLDIER'S ANGELS and do this...it's for a great reason and it feels good doing it...even if the post office charges too much.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!

...certain things have been bothering me lately......

...why is it that on some of the blogs I've visited it's like some kind of special club, and even though you are able to post, no one seems to care. No one acknowledges you. I remember reading one guy's blog...he was very good, but after he actually posted about how once he sees mistakes in spelling or proper word etiquette, he won't read them anymore...

...I don't read him anymore.

...now I won't pretend my blog is something special, it's actually pretty boring. I have met some good people here. It's probably not proper word ettiquette to have those three dots (hey...I can call 'em that..it's my blog) before each paragraph, but that's what I do. My English teacher wouldn't approve, but I doubt he's reading this.

...with everything this country (and the rest of the world) has gone through, I just don't understand why there's still so much crap in the world.

...religions use God to hurt others, pushing their beliefs and rediculous bullshit about the way a person lives...in history there were the inquisitions, wiping out a significant number of the Native Americans (read about the Trail Of Tears and both incidences at Wounded Knee), burning people at the stake over witchcraft, slavery, gay bashing in the same sentences as "God loves everyone" and "love thy neighbor," and don't forget the one that says (we're told) that it's good to kill others, and get your kids to do it for you by strapping a bomb to their chest.

...hypocrisy should be considered a felony.

...I didn't care much for high school because of all the clics. I was never one of the popular ones, and I really didn't enjoy how certain ones made me feel bad about myself. Sometimes it seems like high school all over again.

...I enjoy reading different blogs. It makes the world around me a little bigger, and it's very interesting to read how others live, what they do in their lives. But I hate that feeling of being unwelcome. I hate the fact that some people use these diaries as a way to use others. I've been lucky that, as far as I can tell, no one like that has come here (no one at all lately), but then again, my friends are pretty cool.

...and if I mispelled anything, sorry...mi splck dont wok...

Commercials I like to watch...

...the Hall's cough drops where the three pigs are in the brick house (guys with make-up) and the bad wolf is outside with a cough. He takes a cough drop, crunches it with his teeth, then takes a deep breath and....you know the rest of the story.

...Target makes good ones, although they have an uncaring attitude when it comes to charities.

...the Boston and the Pug that have flea problems...too cute.

...the Chevy commercial where an empty tailer used to haul new vehicles is speeding down the highway, and all these new Chevys catch up to it and drive up the ramp as it's moving. The coolest thing was, the last vehicle (I don't remember which one) caught up, slid around and backed up onto the trailer while it was moving.

...the Sci Fi channel has some great ones...EXCEPT for the magician and the balloon dog...anyone who's seen that one...a bit too much.

...the two magpies that trick a guy into walking into his sliding glass door...I believe it's for Windex.

...Walmart has one with Garth Brooks...playing with the toys...and ends up trading hats with Santa.

...the cows from California (a cheese commercial) that wake to a rooster crowing, discuss getting up, and one tells the other to hit the snooze...next you see the rooster hitting a steel drum outside the barn.

Commercials that annoy me...

...the Burger King king...one of the scariest things I've ever seen...and to think he plays football...

...Radio Shack/Verizon, where people sit in a chair and tell someone the gifts they want...the girl who is obviously a spoiled bitch...with her whipped boyfriend in tow...telling her mom that she wants this phone and she should get her for her or else she will tell dad, cause she's daddy's little girl...

...Victoria's Secret, with all the models who weigh 90 pounds slinking around and pouting in their underwear (yeah, yeah...lingerie...I know)...how about some guys that weigh 200 pounds and built like just about every woman's dream lover, showing off their underwear (boxers look good, but there are also those that look like bvds, then have a partial thigh like boxers...hugging...everything)...strutting around and being all manly men. But of course, we can't have that, can we?

...Girls Gone Wild video/dvd collections...do you guys really buy that shit? It's like all women (oh, wait...I should rephrase that..these definately aren't women, unless you consider a bimbo who will flash anyone with a camera and make out with her college roommate a woman) are bimbos...which is no more true than all men are dicks...although they found a bunch of them in these, didn't they?

...any feminne product commercial...paricularly the deouche commercials...trust me...if we ain't feeling fresh, we know where to go. So how about a jock itch commercial? Some manly men discussing how they feel so scratchy down there...

...any commercial that is shown twice in a row...I assume to make it stand out...well, it worked...it stands out...as being a waste of my time. It makes me not want to buy anything from them...

...newscasters that announce news for later...like a teaser...especially when it's really bad news...that seems a bit too morbid for me...

...the announcements that tell of the Bradley basketball game being played "this Wednesday night at 7!!" which means no Law and Order...how about you guys go somewhere else, maybe on a night when nothing good is on...I'm tired of missing one of the few shows I get to watch...

PEOPLE ARE SUCH DICKS....

December 08, 2005•Insult to Injury First things first: The issue that's getting so much attention — and rightfully so — is the hate letter written to PFC Joshua Sparling.

In case you missed the show, Josh was wounded in Iraq on November 20, and by the time he arrived at Walter Reed Medical Center he was almost immediately carted in for surgery. With a down moment he opened up a card which — on the surface — seemed like a patriotic "get well soon" kids' note, only to open and see it said this verbatim:

Dear Soldier, Have a great time into he war and have a great time dieing in the war from Solider Miguel P.S. DIE.

This was the only card on his wall. As much pain as he is in he insisted on leaving the card up and in view. He, by the way, is proud of his service...misses his buddies and wants to go back and fight — as did everyone I met last Friday.

Please write him and his fellow wounded war fightersChristmas/holiday/get well cards to let them know that Green Day and this sadist does not represent the America public.

...so if anyone still reads here...go to Jack's blog and read the December 9th post about the guy who was shot on the plane (he was bi-polar) and how journalists are so responsible in their reporting. He makes some very good points, and I had a few of my own...go read it.

...once again a big corporation has made itself gobs of money at the expense of someone.

...seems Troy and his employees were notified last week that their last day will be tomorrow. Supposedly they bought another company (HV) but, this other company gets to stay open, and Troy's store closes.

...what is it about these big corporations that feel they need to screw over their own? My old company that I used to work for, Waldenbooks, did the same to theirs.

...first off, you rich dicks in the corner office need to get off your dead asses and actually work in the stores. I think this should be anywhere...whether it's retail, food service, or whatever. TRY to remember that if it wasn't for these employees, you would not be making any money. They do all the dirty work and you get all the credit...plus bonuses.

...try not to be such snobs...stop talking down to people...you ain't as great as you think. Do you even know how to run a store? Can you deal with people that aren't quite the way you expect? You assholes are so quick to bitch when something goes wrong, try saying something nice when something goes well.

...how about you get rid of the dead beats, the lazy asses (sort of like you maybe?)
that will not do as they were told they should do. It's hard enough trying to follow your stupid plans for displays and such, it doesn't help when you just don't see what's really going on.

...VERY IMPORTANT: STOP HIRING YOUR SONS/DAUGHTERS/EXES!!

1) your relatives don't work that hard

2) you pay them way too much...to do nothing. Your REAL employees are not stupid, so stop treating them like they are

3) if caught spying, something bad will happen

(it's good to be a peon...)

Do NOT go here...these a#&%$()*s just closed a store around here, gave their employees a WEEK'S notice, and will be keeping the tiny, no room, employees-are-rude store with a busy intersection out front. Just in time for Christmas.

...just in case someone is actually reading this (I feel like Burgess Meredith in the Twilight Zone...everyone is gone and all he has is books), go say hi to Lewis...let him know he's thought of today. He needs his friends.
