help me. where is the religion quiz?

I have a love hate relationship with everything. it is my car that I am currently thinking of. I love it. it's the best car I've ever owned. but it's still a car. it still sucks fuel and it still sucks my wallet. and it still spits out unneeded fumes into to air. and it still makes noise. noise is the number form of pollution. but I do love this car. it's the best car I've ever owned. if I had a few more dollars I would go out and by a Honda insight. I think Toyota has a hybrid on the market now. but I've never been to fond of Toyotas. I owned one of those silly mini vans. the engine was located under the front seats. this may be a good design if you live in Alaska, but in Florida it would get a little too hot for comfort. currently I drive a Honda CRX. it's really good on gas. and incredible reliable. I miss living in Philly. I never needed a car when I lived in the city. that was certainly ideal.

I read a really great book. just finished it this morning. skepticism Inc. it's by bo fowler. it took me a long time to read the book. I had a lot going on. but it's written in such a way that it is easy to pick back up. if you have an afternoon to drink coffee and read you could easily finish it in a day. after I read a book I want to talk about it and go on an on, but I'll spare you all and just tell you to read it.

I think my blog is still experiencing minor difficulties. like it's not posting. hopefully everything will get to my page. I'm concerned but evidently I'm not to the point where I am going to do anything more than comment on it. I'm lazy.

people matter more than truth

well if my blog is broke than so am I.

I'll continue.

thanks Ned. objector.org is a very good resource for my situation. I didn't realize that I was a Trans-blogger till I read your post on November 6. I want everyone to know that I am a transblogger and not a transsexual. not that there is anything wrong with transsexuals. I found the objector site very helpful and I have pursued other leads that I have found from that site, including calling the volunteer organization for GI rights and getting in contact with a local representative. I am no longer assigned to a navy war ship and I have shore duty orders working at a navy recycling center on base here in mayport Florida. it's not a glamorous job but it's a job that I can feel good about.

is my blog broke? am i broke? some one help me!

morris day and the movie was jay and silent bob. I remembered that standing in the shower thinking. the water was so f*cking hot. I wish I could stop stealing lines from songs.

ben- glad you made it. now get to work. we need your blogs

jibber- why bad things happen. I thought for a second it was the beginning of a joke. three guys are on Larry King live; a priest, a rabbi and a Muslim........your point is well taken. it is the freedom of choice that makes us human. It allows us to choose to be good. Anthony Burgess, if he were alive, would say that it is a clock work orange. poor little Alex lost his humanity when he lost his freedom to chose to between good and evil. if there is a god, I hope he is as fat as the fat as sumo wrestler. I hope he is a sumo wrestler.

john- medseki martin and wood. carefree theater down town west palm beach. Nov 30. you should be there. tell every one. tell strangers. bring your dog. bring house plants. bring your toothbrush.

brad and Mitch- I could not read your blogs. is it me?

di Havana- it is me. I don't think I have ever met you. I'm really no one of consequence. just a poor sucker who buried himself into an insurmountable credit card debt situation and than sold his soul to the government for a second chance. so far so good. no soul and no debt. freedom is around the corner. I'm insane and the navy is considering giving me a discharge and sending me to college. I knew I was insane. catch 22. if you join the military your crazy if you realize that you don't want to be in the military you are not crazy. save the bombardier. I work for a navy recycling center now. it's the first good thing that I've done for this country in four long miserable years. sort paper. crush cans. freedom and democracy.

politics, we should not talk politics. oh well.
when is W and everyone else in this country going to stop singing about saving the American way of life. it's the greedy and corrupt American way that has oppressed so many 3rd world and developing countries that has put us into this awful mess. NO. don't call me names. hear me out. I'm not making excuses for the dirty taliban bastards. I am just trying to say that this war on terror(war of terror) is being waged to protect the entire world from terrorism and religious fanatics. the united states is not the only free country in the world. it's a good country but I wouldn't say it was without faults. I saw one of those inspirational success posters hanging on the wall at my shrinks office. it was a pretty photo of some majestic landscape with a message about overcoming the worst times and something about making the world a better place by learning from mistakes.....obviously this poster made a lasting impression on me. the point I am struggling to make is that the whole d*mn world needs to find a better way to live. we're killing ourselves.

i'm done.

what day is it? where does the time go? no, that is not a rhetorical question. I'd rally like to know where the time has gone. I know they appeared in a recent movie. what was the name of the movie? it was a comedy. and some one in the movie had an unnatural love for the singer. I can't remember the singers name anymore. I can't even think of a song by the time. I used to own the LP. I am definitely getting dumber. I don't know if I should lame my mindless job, or the amount of drugs and alcohol that I have been forced to abuse due to all the mindless jobs I've had..............the horror. all my whining and lamenting have upset my stomach. no I'm not ill. just hungry. I've been eating a lot micro-waved burritos. I am a total snob, I only eat gourmet vegetarian, non dairy Amy's brand micro-wavable burritos. yesterday I ate at burger king. who am I?

I am so excited. I haven't been this excited since I saw the replacements play at the tower theater in Philly. I remember just about every song they played that night. the band was wasted. the fans screamed. Paul forgot the words to here comes the regular but no one cared. well, I cared. that song was and still is one of the mats best........back to my point. I am excited. on monday I'm going to drive over to Gainesville to check out string cheese incident. I've heard so many good things about their shows. it gets better. next Friday at the same venue in Gainesville, oysterhead is playing. I've down loaded three songs off the new CD and it is everything that I could have hoped. Stu Copeland resurrected and jamming with trey Anastasia and les claypool. and it gets even better. I am a long time medeski, martin and wood fan. the bands got two dates in Florida and if the first show is as good as I expect it to be than I'll be at the second show. I feel like a kid again. I believe that we are entering into another golden age of music concerts. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I believe that it want be long till the radio, MTV and the record labels ruin the sceene. (forever DAMN THE MAN, I'll never change)

help. if you can. who, what, and where is the time..........somebody "day" fuck it

I’ve been gone since September 11. I climbed onboard the floating, rusty dumpster named after the battle of Hue and set sail for a 40 day tour of nothing and nowhere. Cooter, the biggest redneck that ever lived, told me that we were going to war. His freakish small hands grabbed a hold of his jiggling belly flab long enough for me to learn that terrorist crashed a plane into the world trade center. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that it happened. I couldn’t believe anything that Cooter said, he’s a dumb redneck who has no grasp of reality. I couldn’t believe that if it did happen that this quadro inbred fuck face was grinning ear to ear. I never felt so much rage and contempt for anyone or anything. I remember thinking, “Cooter is an ass” Sure enough it all happened and it’s all true. Cooter is an ass and religion has caused more death and destruction.

40 days out to sea. The navy gave us very selective information. Friends sent emails. It was hard to discern between fact and fiction.

I come home to fare weather fans. All the sudden everyone loves America. I see flags flying everywhere. United we stand. God bless America. What god? The creator god? David Humes infinite spider God. The Cabbage? The God we pray to on Sundays or the God that wants us to pray 5 times a day? The God that forbids us from killing cows? Is it the God that wanted the Europeans to slaughter all the natives of the Americas? Is it the God that fears knowledge? I believe that I’m sick to my stomach. Either god is lazy or he doesn’t care. Maybe God is less powerful than we think. Or perhaps he has a twisted sense of humor or follows some ridiculously twisted alien moral system which we can not comprehend. Anyway, God bless us all.
No one, and I do mean no one, cared a damn about the armed forces before all this shit went down. United? Who is united? Send in the troops. Drop the bombs. Fire the tomahawks. Ground troops. Ground troops. Kill kill kill. United we stand. Hey, America! Welcome to the world. Shit has been rubbed raw for centuries. We’ve just had our heads so far up our asses we refused to see how the rest of the world has been suffering. united we stand, yep. you buy the flags and the kids who signed up for the montgomery GI bill will do all the shooting, killing and dying.
It has crossed my mind that I should keep my opinions to my self. But, I can’t stand it anymore. I know my views may not be popular. I guess I’m not concerned with being popular. i realize that I may have some trust issues. most likely some control issues that are compounded by a lack of respect for authority.

I know that not all the oil in the world comes from the middle east. And I know that not all the money that is spent on oil in the Middle East is used to support terrorist organizations. I would like to know where Bin Laden got all his money. I’d also like to know how a person can fly the American flag from their car. Like I said, not all oil comes from the Middle East but if the driver cares enough to fly the flag than maybe the driver should care enough to wonder where the money that is spent to fill the tank of the precious vehicle is being sent and spent. Maybe the driver/flag waver should walk or take a bus. Is it just a coincidence that George W has a lot of us oil interests? Is it a coincidence that now that George junior is in office he is having similar issues trying to deal with the Middle East? What is really going on in the world? I won’t let myself blindly trust this country. I’ve read too many history books. I’ve served for over three years in the United States navy. I am lied to everyday. I’m sick of it. Do what you want. Get in your car and drive to the mall and purchase something super nice. Fly the flag off of everything you own. Use red white and blue condoms. Blow it all out your ass. Ask questions. You may find that we are living in a world of persecution that is burning in it’s greed.

Well, I’m jumping ship. I’m getting out. I won’t be part of the governments little game. I know that there are ways that I can help. The first step is getting out of the navy. sitting in the middle of the ocean waiting to launch over the horizon missiles at people who want to die is not my idea of helping. Don't believe the HYPE.
