Impending Doom

Ok sorry I havent posted a blog on this thing in a while. I forgot my password when it changed from the old blogger to the new one. A lot has happened since my last post 3 years ago, and its more than I wanna type to fill you in. Heres the skinny, I am still living in Italy and still working labor and delivery. I went and ran a marathon in Prague (26.2 miles) and I finished well ahead of what I expected. I get my braces off come tomorrow and right now I am sitting alone in my bare room waiting for the movers to come and haul my things away.

Ive lived overseas for 2 years in a very relaxed country and I am a little concerned about go back to the States and especially going to the Naval Academy of all places. Currently I wear my uniform once a month for about 15 minutes, I am far from being in the real military. Here on this base we play military, and at times that can be more annoying than the real military. I guess what I am trying to say is I dont feel ready to come home yet. I am a little worried about the whole going to school thing, its something I really really want, but is it something that I can do is the question. Lets pray so. It feels like impending doom!

Disturbing

I just dont understand how anybody could be so motivated by hate that it consumes them. What I dont understand more is why would somebody try to mask this hate by religion (i.e Muslim extremist and the West Boro Baptist Church "W.B.C."). This "Church" preaches nothing but hate plain and simple. It picks through the Bible and focuses in on a few stern mostly old testament verses, and makes God out to be this vengeful, hateful God that loves few and hates many. I was raised Baptist, and the fact that this "Church" calls itself Baptist is an insult to the Baptist community. They have no real ties to the Baptist community and it's just a name these people gave themself, no Baptist association supports them, infact they denounce them. It would be like Osama Bin Laden calling himself a Presbyterian. They believe Homosexuals are the cause of all Americas problems, and the Military is at fault for supporting them (when did the military start supporting gays?) by fighting to protect for freedom of all Americans. The thing that just tops the cake is that whenever one of our troops is killed in combat, these people show up at the members funeral to protest. They hold up offensive signs feet from the ceremony that insult this persons service and sacrifice, and hurt this family terribly. They did it as recent as last week when a 21 year old female Marine Corporal was being laid to rest. The good news is a group of mostly veterans that call themselves the Patriot Guard Freedom Riders were there to shield this hate from the family with their benevolent deeds. They block the WBC from the families view by an overwhelming presence and flags. They are non-violent, and they dont instigate hate or anything. They are there to supprt the military member who sacrificed everything, nothing more. Im tired of hearing about these WBC members, I think they are just attention whores and are completely insane. They hate America so much and hate everything it stands for, they just need to get out!

Lil bit confused

So I turn on the boob tube like at 4 in the morning and my choices are sports, the News (does Fox news really count?) and lastly Seasame Street. To me, four o'clock in the morning isn't a good time for sports,no time is a good time unless your playing, so me not watching sports was a given. I'm still confused why Seasame Street comes on so flippin early in the morning. Seriously what kids are up that early?! So I settled in watching the news, and it just frusterated the crap out of me.

So Hussein was hung, now every wing-nut with an opinion wants to get on the news and share their's. How about lets not. What makes it worse is that when they get on it becomes a debate, and not just a debate, but a heated one. This isn't news by the way, it's a bad episode of Ally McBeal. They start talking over each other and then making crude comments toward each other. Do they not know its 4am and they aren't going mto make a difference. Arguing and bitching on the airwaves gets you no where and gets nothing accomplished. Obviously hanging people gets things accomplished and moving, this last hanging (Saddam's)is the talk of the town. Hats off to the new Iraq government, they managed to do something in less than a couple of months that takes the United States 30 years to do. With all the red tape and appeals you cant get anything done, all that ends up happening is you have people get on the news arguing about it.

Not only that, but on New Years I saw a whole bunch of reporters in time square with a little table set up with champagne and crap on it. They opened it and were about to take a drink when one of the news anchors said " whoa now, you cant drink that on air, its not allowed". WTF!!!! America is too soft, quit worrying about offending someone and pissing people off. Seriously America, grow some balls!

If this continues Christmas and New Years will not be what they once were. Were not really suppose to call it Christmas now-a-days, you might pull a Mel Gibson and offend the Jews. Its now called Holidays, for example instead of Merry Christmas, which use to be a blanket statement, its now Happy Holidays. When you use to say Merry Christmas and you said it to a Jew, they knew what you meant, they just took Christmas and applied it to their Holiday. Santa is going to go skinny, because having a fat Santa promotes obesity in children, and we shoulnt leave him cookies anymore, instead we should leave him soy products with carrot juice to wash it down with. Nativity Scenes will undergo a change, animal right's activist prob will make America get rid of all the animals, its wrong to leave animals out in the cold (yes even plastic ones). Baby Jesus is going to go away based on the fact of child neglect on count of he didnt recieve proper medical treatment when he was born, and his parents are making him sleep outside in straw. So that means Mary and Joseph will have to be locked away when Baby Jesus is with CPS. Ok not really but you see where I'm going with this. America is too soft a country, and you better shape up before I come back, or Im going to be offending a lot of people.
