I guess there has to be a last for everything. This is (almost) word-for-word the last conversation I had in 2009. It kind of put an exclamation point on the whole year.

The last conversation of 2009
Thursday, December 31st, 2009Hey reality – stop being such a shit.
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009This last couple of weeks of humbug funk are now getting old. After typing that – humbug funk sounds like some sorta niche music like curmudgeon boogie and not nearly as dreary as things really are which is kinda nice. Being old and responsible has lost what little charm it had. My mustache demands justice.
Don’t Panic: my friends are still awesome.
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009I’m just not a fan of Christmas – this year more than the rest. And I’m generally not a huge fan of Christmas anyway. I did get treated to a few things this year that must be shared by photos, my captions, and what I’m hoping isn’t going to be a grumbling rant.
In which I find out that I’m neither safe nor clean.
Saturday, December 12th, 2009Guess what time of war it is? SAFETY INSPECTION TIME! And guess what makes that even more awesome than it was before? They just waltzed right into my room, while no-one was in here. I have never had a health & welfare inspection take place when no-one was present – I’ve never seen it done when I was on Active Duty, I should say. This is the National Guard – where all actual AR’s go right the fuck out the winder! (more…)
Dear Human Resources Command – Please stop looking so fucking dumb.
Saturday, December 12th, 2009So I get an email from the Snar today with a scan of some amended orders. Thankfully, the orders make absolutely no sense at all and appear to be written / coded in a language only decipherable by… I have no idea who. It’s not in any sort of anything I have ever seen before. I will now outline the garbage that’s incorrect and stupid in these orders. (more…)
Some not so awesome port-o-potty art.
Saturday, December 5th, 2009It sucks going outside to smoke. Not the act of going outside, but the temperature is shit. I wear my indoor-outdoors and a fleece just to stand out for a smoke. Helps me realize what a awesome habit I have, but doesn’t make me want to quit – nicotine is pretty fucking addictive. I guess that’s not accurate – I want to quit but I don’t want to give up my crutch. Let me tell you, it’s pretty frustrating to me – but I need a change. A change for the better would be nice going into the new year. (more…)
Sleeptalking.
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009I’m not throwing stones – due to my love of breaking my nose on things, I snore loudly. I also talk in my sleep when I’m having crazy vivid dreams. The Snar talks to me while I’m sleeping sometimes. I tell her secrets that don’t make any sense. (more…)
Teardown for the Belkin N+ Wireless router
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009I tried the google and was very underwhelmed. It seems that this thing is a big pain in the ass – but it has a feature that I desperately needed here – USB connection for a hard drive, a la wireless NAS. That’s nice. (more…)
