To Whom It May Concern

All Around My Brain

Oh, how lovely it is when the Yankees, with their eleventy billion dollar payroll, fall to pieces in the post season, proving once again that they are indeed what is wrong with all professional sports, and also proving that all the money in the world isn’t going to buy you a championship. Having the stupidest fans in the world is also a liability, that is for sure. Now I see that Steinbrenner is going to fire Joe Torre, haha, that’s awesome, and shows just how stupid George truly is. The Yankees have won the AL East 9 times in the last 11 years and I believe 4 World Series championships, that’s pretty damn retarded but Torre will move on to a better team and show he’s a good manager, and the Yankees will end up with Lou Pinella and if not next year, then the year after, they will fail to make the post season.

As for me, being an Oakland fan has been satisfying for the last 15 years, even if it’s been fairly futile in the post season. No team since 2000 has had a better record in the second half of every season than the A’s have, that’s fun to watch. And being a small market team, the A’s don’t saturate the sport’s page, ESPN, etc, with a bunch of crap like the Yankees, like the Red Sox, to name the two idiotic teams that are always being talked about, constantly. So here’s hoping the A’s have what it takes to beat the Detroit Tigers, and extend their run further into the postseason.

I enjoy having a blog. It’s nice to be able to express yourself, and to know that people read up on what you are doing, be they your current friends, acquaintances online, people who just happen to come across your blog by chance, or people you were once friends with who you now may not talk to for whatever reason. I don’t for a moment confuse people’s concern or interest in my life with an obsession about me. Hell, if you want to have an obsession, go right on ahead, just don’t let it lead to emails, phone calls, and naked visits to my front door in the middle of the night, mmkay?

My blog is public, I could make it private if I wanted to, but that would be quite juvenile indeed. I mean, honestly, if I were to be so immature as to grouse and gripe about who reads my site, then I should probably make it private or just get rid of it altogether.
I am flattered that anyone would want to read about what I’m up to. I don’t need anyone to read my thoughts, it just reaffirms my genius, of which I’m already aware, haha. I wonder if I should get a stat counter and start obsessing over who visits my website? Then again, I have no reason to convince myself that I’m any happier or less happy than anyone else, based on something so silly as hits on my online journal. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if everyone felt the same way?

Let’s see, in other news, I’ve got about 4 days left to go here in Iraq before I fly out to Kuwait as part of the advanced party. We have a lot of work to do here though before we head out, finishing paperwork for our connex containers, paperwork for the turnover of assets to the new unit, making calls to the camp in Kuwait to get ammunition and a vehicle for the time we will be there, getting housing set up for the rest of the unit there, etc. It’s going to be a busy time to finish up the time I’ve already spent in this freaking sand box. I just can’t wait to get back.

Oh, and of course, the most important topic of the day, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST WONDERFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD!! If I were there I’d toss in spankings and cake, probably not together, hmm, but then the imagery seems quite nice, so maybe I will find a way to integrate the two upon my return. Nothing says love like icing in your ass crack, right?

Current Lyrical Ramblings

Hey, I'm feeling tired.
My time, is gone today.
You flew with suicide.
Sometimes, that's ok.
Hear what others say.
I'm here, standing hollow.
Falling away from me.
Falling away from me.
