Ok so this isn't a joyous post people. If you're looking for sunshine and rainbows, you're better off looking in toilet bowl after you drop one.
I had a retard customer today who was French, and possibly Muslim, but the Muslim part doesn't really play into this at all.....though he did keep trying to cover one of his female coworkers up head to toe the entire time we were having a conversation (racially sensative joke. get over it people. move on, I don't hate Muslim people, just the one's who try and blow shit/Americans/people up). The part I hate is arrogance and that is most commonly associated with the French.
Look, let's be honest, what have the French done lately? Not much. They had some good inventions in the way back machine, but otherwise, they've basically been latching onto America/Britian for the last 60 odd years. Remember WWII? (and possibly WWI) France was fucked! Churchill is the only reason the French aren't speaking german today (Personally I think we should have just let Hitler keep France and moved on with it).
Q: What's the motto of the US Marine Corps?
A: Semper Fi (Always Faithful)
Q: What's the motto of the French Army?
A: Stop, drop, and run!
Q: What do you call a French man killed defending his country?
A: I don't know either, its never happened!
"I just love the French. They taste like chicken!" ---- Hannibal Lecter
"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." ---Mark Twain
"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --- General George S. Patton
"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." --- P.J O'Rourke
I am back in PT form as of Saturday. 6 mile hump with 25lb pack (light but it still sucked cause of the weather), Sunday was a 3 mile run with ammo can lifts and a knowledge review of the M16A2 rifle, and today was a bit lighter with Push-Pull-Press-Abs and a 40 minute bike ride. The goal is 6 or 7 days a week cause that day off just kills me.
Classic Man of the Day:
George S. Patton
No picture, but the man was a fucking stud. See his quote above. He single handedly saved the world when Britain and France couldn't. Google it!

ok so apparently my last post was unsatisfactory
so I'll make this one:
A few thoughts I had today:
1)Is the biological mechanism that gives people headaches and women menstrual cramps the same?
2) I am ever more convinced that wealth isn't in terms of dollars, but in terms of souls touched. I think I figured this out when my grandma died. The wealth of a person is valued in the number of people who's lives you make a difference is. This is a sliding scale, mind you. If you can only make a difference in a few people's lives, but make a HUGE difference, it is equivilent to making a small difference in many people's lives. That give's me a real life motto: Whether billionaire or bum, you can learn something from every person you interact with.
3) Distance is relative. What it is relative to, is the amount of love in your heart for a person. If you love someone with your whole being (a daughter, boyfriend, husband, brother, etc.) a single mile can feel like a million miles. Really, distance works on an a scale of absolute values being that any distance is too far.
4) Sometimes, even if the situation isn't optimal, you gotta suck it up. It is going to hurt, you will be embarrassed, and you may not prove your total worth, but it has to be done.
5) Seeing is believing, but not everyone chooses to see and seeing isn't always done with your eyes.
I think that's about it. Now for Classic Man of the Day:
THE DUKE! CLASSIC AMERICAN MAN! Did a bunch of pro military films during WWII, made A LOT of donations to veteran's charities, also went on tour with the USO to entertain the troops. John Wayne never let being out numbered or out gunned get him down, he rose above it! The point I'm making is The Duke never said "I Can't" or "I don't want to," he just saw what needed to be done, tightened his belt, and got to work. I often wonder if maybe we lived in a less self serving society, we wouldn't be in all the trouble we are in now. If personal pride in one's work, home life, and societal perception mattered at all anymore, we wouldn't have to deal with all the bullshit "what's in it for me" assholes that we do now and the country might be better off. This and Jersey Shore, are also the reason I believe in sterilization during adulthood. If you look, act, talk, and fail to contribute to a society like a shithead, you don't get to repopulate (READ: re-poison) the earth with your seed. Also, on a separate note: Berkley,CA protesters and Code Pink motherfuckers (Google it if you are uninformed) should be able to be shot on site without any repercussions whatsoever. They are fucking morons.
That's all. Hate me if you so choose, everyone else does.

Food for thought.
"Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find
amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own;
sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push
through the obstruction."
--William James
"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few
be well tried before you give them your confidence; true
friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and
withstand the shocks and adversity before it is entitled to the
appellation."
--George Washington
"It behooves you, therefore, to think and act for yourself and
your people. The great principles of right and wrong are legible
to every reader; to pursue them requires not the aid of many
counselors. The whole art of government consists in the art of
being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give
you credit where you fail."
--Thomas Jefferson

YARG!
Not much to blog about-4.5 miles today. Feels good. Weather was warmer which was fantastic.
Ummmmmm what to say what to say?
I really don't have much to write about. Worked all day. Thought I lost my notebook for 45 minutes and was running around looking for it.
Someone give me ideas for shit to write about! This is getting harder to do everyday when I have just boring old days.
Just don't kill yourself tonight, please.

Hi!
That title has nothing to do with what this post is about I just felt like making that a title. Here is my question, since I have a wicked headache: When is the last time you reminded yourself to breathe?
I do this almost everyday. I'm not sure you know what a tissue culture lab smells like, but it isn't good. So the first thing I do everyday I step outside after work is take a depp breath. I love the smell outside. That breath reinvigorates my entire being. It reminds me of everything good. It releases my stress.
Do you do this? If not, try it. See if it doesn't help your day.

I just never learn
Not much of a post tonight. Just wanted to mention a small fact that I find fascinating:
Whoever designed grocery store orginization is FUCKED!
I have been grocery shopping for roughly 8 years and every time I go in there I spend at least an hour shopping cause I have no clue where anything is. APPARENTLY, my concept of what should go where and with what is not even close to what the person who runs Jewel Osco feels should be placed together.
I feel very grown up for 2 reasons:
1) I cleaned my room....again
2) I went grocery shopping and made lunch for the next two days.
That's about all.

the impotence of life
so a short post tonight since im drunk at home.
Tonight I went to best buy. I had roughly 100 bucks in gift cards for the store. I spent about an hour looking around for something to buy. I played with the idea of buying a netbook since my personal laptop is shit. I couldn't do it. I didn't want to get had for a piece of shit. Plus I was only willing to pay about 100 dollars of my own money. So after an hour what did I buy? A nose, ear, and eyebrow trimmer....for 16 dollars.
Next stop on my list was Binnys. First off, I was far more excited to be at the liquor store than best buy. Secondly, I spent 100 dollars at Binnys. 3oz of bourban and a few beers later I'm nice and buzzed. Thank God for my 40 dollar Binnys gift card!
So what does this mean to you?
It means think long and hard about presents. If the person you are purchasing the card for doesn't 1)Own a video game system 2) Doesn't buy CDs 3)Is just generally technologically impotent, DON'T BUY THEM A BEST BUY GIFT CARD! So at this point, I have 75 dollars that I can't use. I'm thinking about selling them for 60 bucks. Any takers?
