Memories from My Life. I believe in the freedom of our founders. I believe in The United States of America. I AM AN AMERICAN!!!!

I hate myself

Yes, I hate Windows 7. I was in love with the Operating System that Microsoft had advertised as the cure to Vista but it has come to be as expensive, if not more, that the Piece of Shit (POS) Vista.

I was going to buy it, the whole thing... but when I saw the price, I saw the Monopoly that Microsoft has on the market.

Do you remember when the Silicon breast implants were exploding and making women sick? Then the industry came with saline implants and the doctors were charging even more to take out the defective ones to replace them.

Yeap, Vista was a solid POS that could have been a great Operating System. The reason that it became a solid POS was because the first computers that were sold with Vista came with the minimum amount of memory. The computers took so long to boot and once loaded with applications they became super slow.
I am starting to use Linux. Ubuntu and Sabayon are my favorites.

I have three computers at home running Linux. Windows can kiss my hot Hispanic and waxed ass!!!!

Another beautiful day in the south

Another long week, working hard and feeling that I am wasting my life.
It has been almost 4 years since I heard a shot fired on the battle field and I MISS IT. Remember that when I was in Iraq, I was complaining about it, now I miss it so much that I am considering applying for a job in Colombia as a trainer for their army.
It started as a beautiful day, cool and sunny, then it went to clouds and rain. I love the rain and I love to drink coffee while watching the rain.

Just wanted to say hello today. Here are some pictures from the websites I visit.

Why do Republicans hate America?

by Goldy

The proud citizens of Brazil weren’t the only ones celebrating Rio’s selection as the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics; American conservatives apparently held an impromptu Carnival of their own:

When the International Olympic Committee voted against Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics this morning — after the President and First Lady flew to Copenhagen to push for it in person — the Weekly Standard newsroom burst into applause.

“Cheers erupt at Weekly Standard world headquarters,” wrote editor John McCormack in a post titled “Chicago Loses! Chicago Loses!” … McCormack’s fellow conservatives joined in the celebration…

“Chicago and Tokyo eliminated. No Obamalypics,” Michelle The ugly Malkin tweeted, following up with, “Game over on Obamalympics. Next up, Obamacare.”

“Please, please let me break this news to you. It’s so sweet,” said The Rapist and murderer Glenn Beck on his radio show.

“Hahahahaha,” wrote Red State’s Erick Erickson. … The Drudge Report announced the news like so: “WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND. THE EGO HAS LANDED.”

“For those of you … who are upset that I sound gleeful, I am. I don’t deny it. I’m happy,” The drug addict and draft dodger Limbaugh said. “Anything that gets in the way of Barack Obama accomplishing his domestic agenda is fine with me.”

“ChicagP\/\/n3D!” tweeted Newsmax, of recent fame for running, then pulling, a column about an impending military coup against Obama.

Yup, conservative Republicans really do hate America. Or perhaps, as TPM’s Josh Marshall astutely quipped, right-wingers just don’t consider Chicago to be part of America?

For those contemplating retirement, some useful info...

While there no perfect place, there is something for everyone.... I can validate the Midwest portion. You can meet famous people, but you have to go somewhere else to do it. Of course, you can also buy an expansive demesne nearly the size of Central Park for what half a duplex will cost you in California.
Where to Live After Retirement
You can live in Phoenix, Arizona where.....
1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade.
2. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
3. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town.
4. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.
5. You know that "dry heat" is comparable to what hits you in the face when you open your oven door.
6. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

You can Live in California where...
1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
3. You know how to eat an artichoke.
4. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
5. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.
6. The 4 seasons are: Fire, Flood, Mud, and Drought.

You can Live in New York City where...
1. You say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan.
2. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map.
3. You think Central Park is "nature,"
4. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.
5. You've worn out a car horn.
6. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.

You can Live in Maine where...
1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.
3. You have more than one recipe for moose.
4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.
5. The four seasons are: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

You can Live in the Deep South where...
1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2. "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.
3. "He needed killin'" is a valid defense.
4. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, MARY BETH, etc.

You can live in Colorado where...
1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.
2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and he stops at the day care center.
3. A pass does not involve a football or dating.
4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

You can live in the Midwest where...
1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"
5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say, "It was different!"

OR, You can live in Florida where..
1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon.
2.. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even houses and cars.
3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.
4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.
5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.


ADDENDUM:

In Phoenix, instead of an umbrella for rain, you have to carry a pot holder to open your door.
Instead of running your car for 15 minutes with the heater on to warm it up, you have to run it for 15 minutes with the A/C running just so you can sit int he seat, touch the belt buckle or steering wheel.
and, don't touch the windows or lean against the car because you can get 2nd degree burns. (personal experience)


Or you can live in Southeast Alaska where:
1. Summer high temperatures above about 70 degrees absolutely require A/C.
2. Eleven straight days of half to an inch of rain daily is just eleven days.
3. You measure distances by ferry hours or Alaska Air mileage plans.
4. You don't mind sharing the streets of your small town (pop. 14,000) with 870,000 visitors off of cruise ships.
5. You can live in a real community, with real people, with all the problems, and still feel good about it.

Then there is the weather shifts.
70 degrees one day, then a blizzard, then back to 70s.
I celebrated a white Christmas in Denver while on leave after my first deployment. My leave started 15 May, yet I had 72 degrees for my birthday on the 21st...
In the neck of the woods my Arkansas relatives live in, Grim, "y'all" is multi-purpose, singular and plural, and "all y'all" is only plural.
Where I grew up in Texas, y'all is always plural, never singular. "All y'all" is bad grammar...
Well, John, that's because, despite being populated with rednecks, Arkansas is not deep-south. :-)
Heck, West Tennessee doesn't count in my book. When you order Tea and they don't just assume you mean Sweet Tea, you can no longer claim that you are a part of the South.
Now that was funny y'all. I've lived north-central, Midwest, south, Florida, Texas, CA, and I was raised in Philly and on the Jersey Coast. There is just so much truth there that it’s amazing...

But I would like to point out to Idon Wannano that to me, everywhere below Wilmington, DE is the South, and the 'deep' south is everything in a box roughly cornered by Kansas City, Beaumont, Jacksonville, and Alexandria. Everything left of Kansas City and North of D/FW is "The Blank Spot States" until one gets to "Out West," which starts at New Mexico and Ends at the CA Border (all of it). And of course, I live in what I consider the Texico Plains (San Antonio)....

P.S. One could also live on Oahu (done that, hated it),where your county is all the land there is and where if you drive more than 20 miles in a straight line, you need scuba gear (but they have THREE interstate highways and a loop!!); where directions are often given in terms of wind-direction; where flowered shirts, shorts, and the good flip-flops are semi-formal wear; where everyone is a brudda, even us haolis; where everything is imported, but there are NO snakes, just mongooses (it's an odd story); and where people eat this stuff called poi that makes first grade craft paste seem downright tasty by comparison.

Friday is here and two more working days until Monday

Thank God I have a job!!!!
I hope that everybody has a good weekend.
The week starts for me today, working about 100 hours but enjoying every minute of it.
Be safe and have a couple of beers for me.

Take care everybody.... and remember:
SAVE THE TA-TAS!!!!!!

I love them, I need them, I want them.
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THEM SAFE AND HEALTHY!!!!!

Michelle Bachman is a very Crazy and stupid retarded B_TCH!!!!

This week winner is:




Please click on the title and it will give you more information about this very dangerous and crazy totally stupid less than homo-sapiens scum!!!!

I don't like her.

Stupid is what stupid does!!!! When is the next Kristallnacht? I am asking my right winger friends...

I find it hard to believe that race has nothing to do with the rhetoric coming from the far, very far right against President Obama.
Starting with the Rapist Glenn Beck, this idiot has no sense of decency when, just like the other two minor clowns; Fat Rush and stupid Hannity, bring inaccurate and flat out lies to sell their show. All three idiots are screaming for a revolution against the elected government of this country.
John Perry (Stupid person #4) wrote last Tuesday on NewsMax (A radical right wing propaganda publication) that President Obama "is inviting" a military coup and that it might not be such a bad thing: "Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars." So is this fucking moron asking our military leaders to betray the US Constitution? John Perry, I guess, knows nothing about military structure. What senior officer does he think would start a bloodless take over? How many senior officers are black? How many senior officers actually respect their oath of office? In the USA it is impossible to have a military take over. Read the declaration of independence and the constitution of this great nation. It says that the president is the commander in chief of the Armed Forces. When “too stupid to talk” GWB sent me to war, I didn’t refuse because I swore to uphold the constitution of the United States and obey the orders of my officers. My officers swore to obey the orders of the president of the United States. You see the point I am trying to make?

Another stupid Cro-Magnon non-evolved asshole radio host Jim Quinn (Stupid Person #5)telling our soldiers that Obama is "gonna get you killed." So with that logic, President Bush got my Lt. and my friend Mike killed in Iraq.
Do you remember the Birth lies these idiots were putting out there? Where did that go? There was a fat and ugly officer going through Ft. Benning challenging her orders to deploy overseas because Obama was not born in the USA. The judge threw the case out of court and insulted the lawyer that brought that worthless argument to the court. I saw her getting on the plane the following day. Yeap, she was fat and ugly. (On a different note, when was the last time this fat soldier pass a PT test?)

Just a bit of venting about our first amendment……
