Freak Out

This morning at work, my lieutenant (who has returned to the office) was freaking out about some stupid bullshit.
Basically, I worked my ass off on a media visit, getting the proper waivers, informing the chain-of-command, etc. It took about three full days of chaos. I was really doing her job. This morning (today the media comes) she got an email from the commanding officer saying we "dropped the ball" on the whole project, blah blah. So she freaks out and says "why does everyone have to get thier panties in a bunch over this?!?" Okay, ma'am, in fact, you are the only female involved in this project, and coincidentally the only one getting her panties in a bunch. It was wierd and I felt quite uncomfortable. Of course, all I said was everything was going to be okay and we did everything we were supposed to. I wonder if she realizes the fact that I have experience in this sort of thing, and she doesn't.
On CNN right now, they're showing footage of George Michael smoking reefer and talking about why he likes it. Marijuana ... sweet leaf of the ages! I don't really listen to any of George Michaels work, but now I know it's all drugged up and I want to hear it!!
I spoke with Joe last night. We talked briefly about blogs, mail, pottery and weapons. Although Ihaven't been in "close" contact with Joe for about five years now, I still feel a strong connection with him. He's living my dream, teaching ceramics to kids, and I'm super jealous. Joe, if you're reading this, let's trade places, k?
Life in the Marine Corps has it's ups and downs. I feel fortunate to have money, a place to live, insurance, vehicles and all the grown up stuff, but I hope when I'm done with this gig, I can digress a little and have to struggle a bit. I'm looking forward to working construction or something. Hard labor to harden the mind.
My boss just called and she's getting some McDonald's. yes! I asked for a breakfast number one with coffee. Hard nourishment to harden the stomach.
Happy Halloween!!

First

This being my first "official" piece of meaningless frippery, let me bring you up to speed.

Work is going well. I have been somewhat busy lately. Currently I am constructing a photo slide-show for the Marine Corps Ball. I am also coordinating a visit from Fox 11 in Los Angeles. They are producing a 30-minute feature about our training cycle. As well, I am dealing with the daily goings-on of the unit. Currently, my bosses are 1) in Mexico participating in a minor Humanitarian Assistance project and 2) participating in the "Rapid Response Planning Procedures (R2P2) exercise in San Diego.

Physical being:

a. I have found "Redline Fat Incinerator" an effective brand of over-the-counter speed. It is distributed in small blue bottles. You can find it in service stations, GNC, etc. By direction, I only drink half the bottle. I truly fear heart failure, and am working myself up to a double dose slowly. For now, my heart pounds graciously.
b. Getting into fighting shape is difficult. I try and not eat breakfast. Surfing and skating are my primary means of exercise currently, although the unit does mixed martial arts twice per week. I feel that prior to the next deployment (in Aprilish time) I need be ready for battle.

Mental state:
a. I have found myself in a relaxed state of conciousness recently. I am very well aware that time passes. There is a steady rhythm to my life and the lives of those around me I have noticed. Good luck to us! Good fortune this morrow.

Weaponry:
a. Currently in my personal armory, I maintain 1) Rambo: First Blood Part II collectible fighting knife and 1) set, nunchucks (homemade).
Throwing stars would be a great addition.

Media:
a. Bands I dig: Wolfmother, the Raconteurs, The libertines, Manowar.

Family:
a. Missy is doing well. She is robustly pregnant and glowing. Her demeanor is swift and precious. Soon, our baby will join our adventures, and for that I am stoked.
The thing I most look forward to after the child is born: putting her in a little carrying thing and going somewhere like the beach and showing off.

Bye!

This is a kick in the ass for those of you new to my blog. My blog is new, yes ... but the content is nothing new. I do not intend to mask my persona or create a fictional perspective on my life by recording it on the web, where you can read it.
Read my blog.
I'll try my best to keep it up to date, up to speed and up to par. Enjoy! Criticize!
