HAPPY B-DAY!!!

ST is now officially an old man... what makes this even funnier is that it is Apr 1st here. What a bad April fools joke.

Work was not too bad tonight. Got busy for about an hour and then just stayed consistent for a while. After that it got dreadfully slow and I almost fell asleep while watching the scope and Fox news.

No date with Elena tommorow. She said yesterday she would rather wait until the weekend. Cool with me though... kinda... She says she wants to see me, and then ditches on the plans. Oh well. Fuck it. Too add to that, when I talked to her tonight, she made it sound like she did want to go out tommorow, but now I have a tee time and just kinda blew her off.

Kind of an odd thing going on though... I don't think she believes that I am actually working the swing shift. I think she just thinks I am saying it. Then again, I could be wrong. I am not the greatest at reading women, especially if they are involved with me. Man, it would be great if I could just fuck a chick and have no remorse or attatchment to them what-so-ever. However, I am not that much of a dog. Who knows? Maybe after being here for a year will change that. Damn morals.

Aside from that minor mistrust issue, I think everything else is going fine.

MUNGO... How was this person so irresponsible? We have the time and the web space to go into it, so feel free to smoke a bowl and write it up.

Ya know, I think the other thing that may be part of the deal with the chick is that I have been working for the past 10 days straight without a day off with 2 more to go and I am just needing a break. I think the added irritation on my part may be causing my skepticism. Sorry for switching back to that subject, but I was too lazy to use the up arrows or the mouse to put it up a few lines.

Peace out my brethren and have a joyous ST day.

Thanks for the E-Card Eddie!

Dude, thanks a ton for the E-card. It was cool to come home after my overnight and see that in my email.

ST getting older by the minute.

PS. I am not going to let getting old get to me...My walker is gas powered and sitting in my garage ready to haul ass!

My Bare-Ass Day

On this day 31 years ago I was bare assed, balls out and crying my like a baby! Not too much different from the other night! Uh oh...

Damn, I am old.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

Fellas, I just got back from the worst 2-day TDY in history. Exept that I made about $250 on it. So that's kinda cool...but not really worth the BS I had to go through. Too long to go into. We'll just say I was escorting THE MOST IRRESPONSIBLE PERSON I'VE EVER MET IN THE AIR FORCE to a surgery at Keesler....and he didn't get his surgery. And I got a flat tire along the way.

Mungo...glad to be in Panama City...huh?

Song of the Day: Sigur Ros & Mogwai - "Test"

Long Long Week

So this week is becoming incredibly long. I have not had a day off since the 22d and will not get one until Saturday. This is because of the exercise and then the shift work rolled in after that. Not to mention, this leaves me no time to hang with the chicky. I think we are still planning on dragging our asses out of bed earlier on Thursday to go and have lunch somewhere, but that is about it.

Not a whole hell of a lot going on other than work though. Kind of a boring life right now. At least until this weekend anyway.

ST, have fun on your quadcache.

WHERE THE FUCK IS BUBBLES????

Quadcache

That's my name for a new kind of sport that I am playing. Well, I don't know if everyone would say that it is a sport but I get in a good amount of hiking while doing it! Beck, Ashlee and I have been doing this for a few days now and really like it. Good family time and cheap as well.

Okay, okay...what the hell am I talking about? Check here --> HERE

I thought that it would be stupid but once I got going with it I found that I like it. It gets us out and we see things that we don't normally see. I can't wait to get on the quads and go hunting. Yes, Quadcache came from me liking to ride and geocaching. Go check the site and you will see what I mean. You can also look up my finds by searching my username.

Later guys. I am overnight tomorrow so I will be on again in a couple of days.

Red stuff tonight,
Mungo

Rare Form

Mike, you were in rare form in your last postin's. Nice to see you still have some play in the tounge of your fingers. Good stuff, gads.

. sniff a laaks a mensiotious lackerins

Wine tonight,
Mungo

Today...

Beck and I went riding. Fun times. Fun. I got to play with my new GPS. That is a kick in the pants. It recorded everywhere we went and then when I got home I downloaded it all to my compy. Cool stuff.

I hope you feel better soon Mungonator. It's good to hear that you and Hillary smoothed things out and you put some smack down about the girlie games 'cause that just ain't cool!

Didn't Bubbles say that he was back online? Little slut. I hope he is looking into buying a ticket soon before they get uncheap. That is one reason that Eddwardo isn't coming. Ticket was $900 a few months ago and it's now something like $1100. Crazy.

It looks like tomorrow I will just have to go riding again! Man, the things that I have to do sometimes. I guess someone has to!

See you little peckers later.

ST

Tore a Picture

Today I wrote more in Highway 9 with the help of a Mocha Frappe (mofrappy) and a 20 oz hot Orange Spice Tea. That was good for me. I get excited by my story. More and more so the deeper into it I become. The more I write, the more my brain begins to fire. Brain activity has been very low lately and it is refreshing to get back into something I enjoy so very much.

The Blue Angels tore it up today. I might watch them from my private fishing peer tomorrow afternoon. They're cool. So cool.

Peace and Love,
Mungo

Second song of the day: Neutral Milk Hotel - "Song Against Sex"

Marble Eyes

Bogey Dope Upon Request: Stupid shit, mostly. Hillary got drunk and sent a fuzzed up e-mail to me. It pissed me off. I didn't call her for 5 days (long time for us) and I didn't answer my phone when she called. She sent a bunch of e-mails saying she was sorry and that she was being selfish. We talked two nights ago and straightened things out, but I was very blunt with her and I told her that she made me mad and I won't tolerate girlie games, not now, not ever. We're square now, things are better between Hillary and I now. After things were cool, she ambushed me with her mother! That was unexpected. It was the first time I talked to her, and I didn't know she was there. We talked for 30 minutes! That was strange at first, but then it was okay. Her mother is very cool.

So that part is covered.... but I'm stuck... I'm still in this, well, funk. I don't really understand it. Mostly I don't care about my life here, I think and worry about my life THERE, in the future. I can think of nothing else most of the time. My friends! I have been thinking about you guys and my family and Sara Jean a lot lately. Very much a lot. It makes me sad that we've been unable to spend more than a few days with each other over the last .... well, 3 years. I will be in Iowa this August for a few weeks and I would have to be locked up in jail to not make it to Dubuque to see Sara Jean, and to Osage for the Kershners, and to Milaca to see the Johnsons. But you fellers know as well as I do that it won't be for more than a few days. With only two weeks to spend in in that neck of the woods, is doesn't leave me a lot of time to see my whole family and friends. If I separate from the Air Force this fall (which I'm leaning towards) I'll be moving to AlAskA in September after a visit in Vegas. It will be a long time before I'm going to be financially stable enough to make it back down to the lower 48. Maybe a very long time. I've been wishing there were a way we could work it out between us to spend more time together.

Sometimes I become very unhappy with the direction my life has gone in the last few years. Especially the last year. Sometimes I am so unhappy that I can no longer think about anything else...and it takes a long time to shake it. This is one of those times. I miss you guys, it would be nice to have you around for all this. Talking over coffee or beers.

Last night was a great night though. My Only Floridian Friend, Tim, and I watched some live music (Don's Dixieland Band) at the Java Cafe (Eddie, it's been TOTALLY re-vamped). We drank coffee and listened to 70 year old men get down on pianos, sax's, base, drums, clarinets, and trombones as if they were 20 years old. They had so much energy, so much vigor.... then Tim and I walked around downtown Panama City (the Harrison Blocks) and just talked about this and that.

This morning, Saturday, I had a 09:30 mission. I teched a 2v2 that turned into two 2v2's and the agency that was supposed to release the A/S to me wasn't manned at all today. So there was A TON of jumping through ATC asses today. One guy at Jacksonville Missions (JAX) said to me, "Hydra, I need an answer NOW, I'm going down the crapper!" So, very exciting. I'm home now, just a few minutes after 11 a.m. I don't have any money, and I don't have any plans. Maybe I'll go out to Books - A - Million for a coffee. I can work on my book some more today.

Thank you, my brothers, for your concern. I'm mostly stressed out about the future, I have fear when I look there. That is what I'm dealing with.

Glug, Guzzle and Sip,
Mungo


Song of the Day: The Beatsteaks - "We Have To Figure It Out Tonight"

Better day

Even though I was working on a Saturday, today was definately a better day. Hectic at times, but much better.

Work went fine... I checked in a shitload of A/C into the AOR and it was pretty steady for about 4 hours.

I came home and took a nap. Kevin called and woke me up. No biggy.. We sorted the shit out from last night, and figured it to be just bad communication between us. We hung out later and shot pool for about 2 hours.

Talked to my girl too. She actually called me last night too to see if I was doing alright. She woke me up. She basically was asking what the fuck happened. I talked for a few minutes and then went back to bed. When I talked to her today I told her what happened. I later found out from Kev that she just glared at him for a bit after I left and was pissed at him all night. Ah well, the life in the Big K. In answer to your question though, we are doing fine. Kinda bummed because she may be leaving soon. Don't know exactly when but it could be as soon as mid to end April. She will let me know before she takes off though. Hopefully she will still be here for my B-Day because I am taking a couple days off for that time. Dudes, this chick is cool as hell. Has a temper from hell sometimes, but hey, I couldn't be with a chick that is nice all the time. It is just not my style. Have you ever been cussed out in Russian? I think I have. I say I think because she rattled some stuff off real fast one time and kinda gave me a mean look. That was a while ago though. At the same time it was a little arousing. he he he...

The shit with the no drinking is because we are in the middle of an exercise and they don't want people hammered coming to work like they usually do over here. I am suprised there are not more incidents here with bad A/C. The part with the buddy system is so that we can keep watch out for eachother and not be stuck by ourselves in a place we didn't intend to get to.

Mungo... Still waiting on the Bogey Dope. If it is too personnal to post here, send us an e-mail. Either that or have Ned send us an E-mail. We are genuinely concerned.

Bubbles... Where the hell are you again? We have lost you. I will be mean and say it is probably because of your wife. Doesn't really matter though, she hates us anyway (with probably the exception of Mungo, because he can get along with more people than ST and I can.)

ST... Why go? You are not staying in and they can not take away a stripe or anything so it will not be bad in the long run. I sure know that I have blown shit off in the past that I have been "Highly encouraged" to go. The post office probably does not have dining outs anyway, so you won't have to deal with that in a couple years. Or you could just suck it up and go and try to have a good time. I have yet to have a bad time at the gatherings for a squadron, but I will usually just get fucked up and do what ever the fuck I want to do or say... This in turn makes it fun for me, and a comedy show for onlookers. However, you have better morals now, so you would probably not do that.

Well y'all, I dont really have much more to add right now.

Later you bunch of honkeys

Friday, March 26, 2004

Poopy day for Eddie.

Dude, sorry about your crappy ass day. I hate days like that but the one good thing about it is that hopfully the next day will be a little better.

What is up with the no drinking stuff and having to be with 2 people when you go out? I don't know about all this Air Force crap so you have to fill me in.

How are you and your girl doing? Good I hope, but not too good! You deserve to relax and have some fun.


Mungo. Dude, how are you doing? We have been a little worried about you. What was the dust up between you and Hillary? Give us the dope.


Me? Well, Me is doing pretty good. Still riding alot. I took Yesterday and today off so I can just chill the hell out. Not too shabby. Ashlee and Beck are doing fine so there isn't any news to report on them. I have been "HIGHLY ENCOURAGED" to go the dining in that we are having at work. That will suck to begin with but it won't help matters that it is on Wed, 14Apr. This will cause me to do two over nights in a row. Leave Mon morning and come home on Thur morning. Blows nuts big time.

Okay, I am done bitching and just generally complaining. See ya.

ST out and about.

No more Story...

So I see that the story board was taken down... No biggy... we kinda let that go to the shitter anyway. Too much odd shit.

Yes 1/3 is great... 1/2 will be better... 31/32 will be better than that and 1 will be the best. The chin is up for the most part and the willy stays covered.

I had a bad day today. First of all, I had a completely shitty mission that got all fucked up. It felt like I was back in tech school and I could not concentrate on what I wanted to say. Then the rest of the day I am pissed off. The 1st Sgt then told me what a great career field I was in. So I told him he didn't know shit about our career field. Yes, I did actually tell him he didn't know shit about it. Then he said they are worse jobs... I said "What? SP's? Name one more." He said EOD. I told him bullshit, they have to volunteer to do that. He comes back with "You have to volunteer for your job too." Yup, he now got me even more spun up with that one. He added "Didn't you volunteer to be a WD?" I said "I didn't say I hated being a WD, and no you don't have to volunteer to do it either. I love controlling A/C, what I said was I hated this career field." He was like "It's not that bad." Once again, Eddie no tact statements... "You don't know a damn thing of what we do and you dont know anything about this career field." He just stood there and shook his head yes. By the way, the shirt is a nice guy, but he ain't no real 1st Sgt. I would not trust him as far as I could throw him. He is a fucking pig. Completely degrades women and think they are just another toy at Wal-mart. I can't stand those fuckers.

So then... I go out with Kev, because he asked me to. We are still in Gen Order 1. No drinking. No biggy really. I tell him that I will go out with him but I am want to go home at 2200. He agrees, so we go out. 2200 rolls around, I look at my watch, and he says "Well, take off if you don't want to stay then." this pissed me off... 2 reasons... We are only supposed to be going out with a minnimum of 2 people... that leaves me waling by myself... 2d reason, he agreed to 2200. So now I am pissed off and just get up, grab my jacket, kiss my girl goodbye, and take the fuck off. I think I kinda upset Elena by this but it was better than staying there and being pissed off. She was sitting there looking at me with the "What the fuck just happened?" look while I was walking out the door.

Fuck this day... I am going to bed

Stalker Extrodanaire

I am a professional Mungo stalker. I will be writing a book about it soon so watch for me pushing it on shows like Opera, The O'reilly Factor, Ellen and even the Arsenio Show! Yes, I will sign copies for all my friends (only $50 per signing).

Stalking the elusive Mungo is not an easy task! Just when you think you have him figured out he throws a curve and crazy shit happes. Stuff like Asian in the woods... Money being born... shit like that man. Crazy, no sense making mo fo. I have learned much during my time of stalking but no one will ever find the REAL Mungo. No one!

Asian in the woods sounds like some messed up chinese food menu item! Just a random thought.

ST

Ummm....

Asian in the woods without bug repellent? Yeah.

got nuthin ta say

So, about this funk Mungo's in. That's me, by the way. Mungo.

I guess I could beat it by embracing it, going on wild hedonistic binges. Perhaps do an interpretive dance in the dark for the next four years...you know the kind people do when they feel guilty about the choices they make, right? The kind of dances with impossible music playing in the corners of their ears. And I see me there, drowning in cold basement corners, feeling the kind of guilt that will only creep back with interest on a monthly bill. Indeed, seeking the answers, listening out for the false ending: seems to be an infinite endevor.

Official Year of Stalking EMK (Mungo)

Greetings, one and everyone,

As part of the Official Year of Stalking Erik Matthew Kershner, we here at The Hereafter are pleased to bring you the latest in our attempts to get closer closer closer to that velvet and off-the-hook genius affectionately known as Mungo. Various Hereafter staffers have positioned themselves at a number of Mungo's events since the beginning of '99, only to have their attempts thwarted by overly zealous bodyguards (ST, Eddie, and Double O). Our buddy and occasional contributor Ricerick is a little more subtle in his pursuit of that piece of cake: he decided to write a letter to the Solid Mud Forum, where Mungo is the contributing editor. Now, as Ricerick likes to say, "only a thin sheet of 40# white recycled gloss stock separates me from Erik Matthew Kershner"... an obtuse reference, we think. We're still waiting for EMK's response.

For now, The Hereafter is closed, thanks for listening.
Skate Hard, Retards,
Ned

not winning numbers

slim and trim, keep up the pace, gotta break 4:40

I broke open an egg with $10. That's what is left inside Mungo's little VISA check card. Dunno how all that money gets in there, but with only $10, there must be more room. I kinda like this $10. I've had him around since 2002. Kinda like a little puppy that I see almost every day. I gave away all his little friends, but hopefully more will be born in a week or so.

And so, Mungo mashed play on an extremely expensive jam-box with high-speed dubbing and everyone put thier weight on it. Song of the day: Butthole Surfers - "Ah Ha"

Blogger Post in Your Eye (and one in your leg)

Dear (in no particular order) Mike, Eddie, and Double O-

Very tired Felix. I've been going to bed every night by 7 p.m. and sleeping until 5 or 6 a.m. It's a quarter after 8 p.m. and I feel like I'm up way past my bed time. Thanks for the reassurance, Eddie. I don't know how I'm going to solve my problems. Things are gnashing at me; at my neck. I feel like an Asian in the woods without bug repellent.

I don't care about much these days, and that feeling sucks...and thinking about it makes it worse and worse. It's like a spiral. This might sound weak, but I wish there was someone out there to make all my decisions for me sometimes. Then I could buck up and do what's been laid out for me and there would never be any regret because, hey, I was told to. But that wouldn't be good, Mungo would be driftwood.

I miss Hillary too. We've hit some bumpy road (to put it mildly) and even though she's called everyday for the last week, we've only spoken once. ON THE TELEPHONE! She wrote an e-mail too. I know she's struggling with the distance too, and I have been very good in the last eight months about being there for her, but sometimes I want to cut the line and let her go. BYE!

Self-righteous Buckaroo,
Mungo

ENDEX, ENDEX, ENDEX

Well, the ATSO (Ability To Survive and Operate, for those of us who don't know the real AF) portion has endexed, but the other part is still going on. No biggy... Thank God there is no more chem gear.

My internet connection has been down for the past couple days, so that has made it some long nights. It is back up though and good to go... for now...

Mungo, I hope everything is getting better for you. You always know you can count on any of us to lend an ear as a sounding board.

Well peeps... I need to finish getting ready for work...

I Wanna Change Everything

Still feeling kinda busted up. Thanks Mike, for trying to call. Hillary and I were "talking things out." Long story, the first real problems have cropped up between us and it's not a lot of fun. Sometimes it would be easier if I believed my future was already decided by fate, then I wouldn't have to worry about making the right or wrong choices.
Sometimes I get really sick of this life. I want to start over. Mostly I want to leave Florida, but I want to leave in such a way that I won't be digging my own grave. Sometimes I wish I was more "adulty" and I was better equipped to handle the big issues in my life.
I'm doing okay, better than last night, but keep me in your happy thoughts/prayers. Thanks, bros.

Never Been to North Dakota,
Mungo

PS: I learned how to play a new song today. It's Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea."
But that's not my song of the day.

Song of the day: Sunny Day Real Estate - "Every Shining Time You Arrive"

Packed house.

We have a bunch of family in town so getting on the computer has been a little harder than usual. Sorry about that you little pricks.

I mowed the lawn yesterday in the 93 degree heat. IT'S ONLY MARCH!!!! We had the neighbors over last night along with the family that is visiting. I grilled up some kabobs...man that was some good stuff. We had a grand ole time.

I tried to call Mungo but he didn't answer his el phono.

Eddie getting some commie Russian ass! Dude, I hope she isn't a spy!

Later foolios.

HUH???

What is the deallyo??

Doing the funky chicken

ST, In answer to your question.... yes.

I got ripped up last night. It all started at work during our "tactics talk." Beer light went on and I pulled out the bottle of Capt Morgans and some coke. Kinda funny that the AF looks down on drinking but encourages it at the same time.

I don't remember a whole lot of last night.

Thursday, March 18, 2004

One day left

until the weekend. I am okay with that.

Umm, Eddie, she IS a dancer. Isn't she?

007, if you have internet now why don't you email us your new address, fool. I wouldn't put it on here becasue you will start getting all kinds of spam but email us dude. Have you bought your ticket to Vegas yet? Just wondering.

Mungo, it was cool as hell talking to you last night. Thanks for calling! Sorry that I didn't chat with you more Eddie.

Later my home boys from the hood.

ST

We are all dying one day at a time

Russian girl eh? she's not a dancer at one of the bars downtown i hope. J/K

Well, i turn 26 this june and im beginning to feel old. My knees are starting to bug me on a daily basis and people are starting to call me "SIR" or "MISTER". OUCH!!!

I went to the peanut farm last night and everyone except me got carded. Oh well. life goes on

talk about depressing.

Double O

Old Age

So now I can remember that ST is just over 5 years older than me... that should make it easy to remember.

As far as the sadness goes... well, it may sound a bit heartless, but, it wasn't my bro and that is all I care about. They may be good people, but I don't know them so it is just another accident.

ST asked if I was going to continue to see the chick I went out with on Sunday. I think the answer is a definate yes. I like her, she has a good personality, and she is a hottie. To give an update, just incase anyone missed anything... Her name is Elena, she is Russian, has now got Strawberry hair (used to be blonde) anywhere between brown and gold eyes (mood depending) and is about 5'6" or so. Real sweet girl and I dig her.

No worries though bros... I am not planning on having another X-Mrs. Markin. Just a fun thing with a cool chick.

Later bro's

Wednesday, March 17, 2004

Old....yeah.

Hey, don't worry, I don't know how old any of you bastards are either...younger than me!

31

I did nothing today except work and be sad.

Sadness

Talk to you later.

ST

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles (and sometimes ATV's)

How did everyone's St. Pattrick's Day go? Mine was rather uneventful. Did laundry, went to work, then went out and had a few.

Mungo, at 80K there is nothing required for mx other than just your regular check up stuff, however at 90K you need to have Saturn do a lookover on it. Other than that, look at your owners manual. Oh, there is a thing by 85K that you need to have a proper bumper on your vehicle.

Not to much in the life of Eddie here in the Big K. Just the typical shit. We have an exercise starting next week with full chem gear and that should be fun.... not. We only have to play that shit for about 3 days though.

Well, 2 weeks from today ST will be celebrating his B-day... I think this is 30 for him, or it may be 31. I am such a good best friend since I don't fucking remember... I am more leaning towards the 31. Fuck it, he is old.

Peace my bro's....

PS

I hit 80,000 miles while driving home from the Panama City Public Library. What kind of maintenance things should I look at having accomplished soonly?

Peace,
Mungo

Song of the Day: The Magnetic Fields - "All the Umbrellas in London"

Sometimes...

...a stranger has clearer thoughts than those whom are close to you.

...an outsider knows the right words more than a friend.

But only sometimes. And I think this may have been one of those times. I just called to talk to Hillary and her new roommate answered. She is Julie. I ended up talking to Julie about my struggles with thoughts of reenlistment. We talked for over an hour and a half. That was strange. I had only spoken to her a few times before, never for more than two minutes. You might also find it strange then to hear me say that after talking to her, a stranger in my life, I have been left with such a solid good feeling about getting out of The Service.

I won't have much money, but I think I'll be okay. I think I'll be okay.

led in my sleep,

Wreckless Erik

I didn't get the job at Books-A-Million. They're actually not hiring part time, only full time. Oh darn. My life is about to get extremely boring. I'm going to have to revert to free-fun only. All my money, all of what's left over, will be going to my car. I have to drop at LEAST $1,100 PER MONTH to have it paid off by the time I'm out. Unless someone gives me a 6K loan or if I win the Florida Lottery, I'm stuck on free fun. That does include mountain biking. But I'm in Florida, so it'll be more like, bike riding. There aren't even good stair cases here. Bummers. I'm also about to embark in some pretty serious clean living again. I smoke on and off. I can't seem to make up my mind. Like Eddie and Bubbles, I enjoy smoking. I do. But I think to myself very often, "How can I smoke so wrecklessly when everyone KNOWS the harms." So, being poor, perhaps this would be a good time for me to quit. Smokes are cheap here, yes, but it's a lot of money over time. I've quit eating fast food (actually, I've quit eating out altogether) and I'm going to quit drinking wine (I drink a lot of wine, don't get so drunk off that) and I'm going to ride my bike to work and around the neighborhood. Cut down on gasohol. Wish me luck homies. Wish a brother luck.

I believe in a thing called LOOOOOOOOVE!
Mungo

Song of the day: The Darkness - "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" <--hillarious song from 2004

PG-13??? I don't think so.

Mine would probably be pushing NC-17 for foul language, drinking and other not so good things.... but hey, at least I don't do drugs.

Went on a date yesterday. Good times. Went to lunch, hung out, went shot some pool and hung out some more. Not a whole lot to do around here but hang out. Either way, it was a good time.

Also did the DJ thing last night. I was dead frickin tired by the end of the night too. I worked Saturday night from 2330-0530, went to sleep around 0600 and woke up around 1200. I don't think I had enough sleep to go and hang all day, then go and DJ. Still overall, even though I was tired, it was a good day. I have not had many of those while I have been here. Most of them just suck ass.

It is good to see that ST has now gotten back on the blogger since his escapades with his new toys have kept him away for a bit. Welcome back Cotter.

Outie... Eddie

I'm only PG-13

Well, at one time my life would have been rated NC-17. Now, I think I am a solid PG-13. Hmmm....

So there you have it.

When Will it End??

we need to write these so called "EXPERTS" and explain to them that it doesn't matter how many new regulations, taxes, or warning lables; WE LOVE TO SMOKE!!! It's not movies, music, or tv that get people to smoke, its individuals just deciding that they TOO wanna be as cool as we are.

On another note, EDDIE ROCKS!!

I too was a "TDY" DJ. I spun a few tunes down in Turkey when i was there. I really sucked, but it was all a drunk'n blur.

Chris Klatt will be in vegas when we are there?? that would be cool to get him to drive up to AK too. And I haven't had a chance to call Hill's yet mungo, but she did call on thrusday. I will be sure to call her tomorrow and assist her in the repairs of her vehicle.

OH and a funny thing happened today on the way up stairs at my home. As i began to climb the steps to my up stairs bathroom, i noticed a small child had fallen asleep on the 2nd from the bottom step. yes, my kid has inherited my ability to fall asleep anywhere her body comes to rest. I got the pictures to prove it.

talk to you boys later, gotta work in the morning.

Double O

Dumbass Tree huggers

So what would it take to get an "X" rating??? A fat ass mo fo smoking?

That is just plain fucking dumb. First of all, I did not start smoking because I saw it in the movies and thought it was cool. I saw my brother do it and tried it myself. That is the real influence, your family and friends. Now this is a generalized statement and I realize that, but for the most part, it is true. Think about it this way from our history. ST doesn't smoke now but occasionally did (cig's... weed and payote does not count right now) when he was around me. Mungo did not smoke until he hung around me. So we all smoked because of my brother I think. he he he...

Anyway, the music I generally tend to play is rock and throw in some hip-hop depending on the mood of the crowd. Goes over pretty well for the most part. This was funny though... A dude requested Erasure... so I played it... the whole crowd (except for this dude) screamed "GAY!!!" and looked at me after they said it. I quickly pointed out the dude that asked for it and you could here the word "quier" said a few times... I found this funny. By the way, the song was "A Little Respect."

Rated "R"

Several anti-smoking groups in America are petitioning the ratings bureau to place an R rating on any movie that depicts a character smoking!

According to these groups, smoking in the movies encourages kids to smoke; 52% of new smoking among adolescents is due to smoking in the movies, and that children who see large amounts of smoking in movies are three times more likely to smoke than kids who see movies with little smoking.

Ok, so there you have it. Ive briefly read over their evidence and proposals. It all seems to be thin at times, vague at others. 51 movies were selected for the "Rated R" list because they featured popular arts among adolescents who were smoking. How were these stars selected? Its always dangerous for adults to think they know what, or who, adolescents like. I don't necessarily agree with their methods or conclusions, but that's not my point.

Let me note another side of their campiagn...this one is the kicker.

This week, the FDA issued notice that obesity is quickly becoming the #1 preventable killer in the USA. It already outranks alchohol abuse and drug abuse, and at current rates of growth, will out-shine tobacco use in a few short years. The anti-tobacco groups have listed in their perposed bill that all leading causes of death should warrent an R rating. To include obesity. That being said, let's suppose these people are right, and smoking in the movies does in fact increase the likelihood of an adolescent eventually smoking, and this fact alone should merit an R rating (usually reserved for sexuality, language and violence). Fine. Great in fact, I'm not saying it shouldn't be a factor.

But let's take every other serious health danger and imagine the world they're asking for...alchohol in the movie? R rating. Subject matter of suicide? R rating. Fast Food, candy, potato chips? Are these all causes of an R rating? Of course not. Does an over-weight actor have to fear not being casted because they might inspire some teenager to eat themselves into obesity Ridiculous isn't it?

If the bill is accepted by the national ratings committee, here is a SHORT list of movies that will garner an R rating:

101 Dalmations
Alice in Wonderland
An American Tail
The Great Mouse Detective
Peter Pan
Pirates of the Caribbean
Snow Dogs
Bed Knobs and Broomsticks
Gone With The Wind
Frosty the Snowman
102 Dalmations
Inspector Gadget
Galaxy Quest

The list goes on and on and on...

This really doesn't have much of an effect on my life, but I think some people are a little too ate-up. Thought guys would be interested in this.

1 lb, 4 oz Yellow Box of Cheerios & 2 quarts of Great Value Grape Drink

Tomorrow I'm in charge of CC's punishment of an A1C who has violated his "No Drinking" policy....for the fifth time. You might ask, "How does a guy who is in trouble for domestic violence get caught drinking off duty?" Oh....a DUI should do it...but also: showing up at bars frequented by several squadron members, random visits by the Flight CC....drinking at the ENLISTED CLUB! Big dumby.

Anyway. Eddie- sucks you won't be able to attend our get together. Sucks the left one. The sweaty one. Ah well, hopefully there will be another time. I don't plan on leaving AlAskA for a long time. I have good intentions of getting into some Nat'l Forest Service work up there. Veterans are always sho-ins.

You guys (Mike and Eddie) need to think about a week or two trip to AK. That'd be badass. I would love nothing more than one night around the camp fire with the four of us pulsating each other until we can hardly speak.

Chris Klatt will be at Zion in Utah when I'm in Vegas this September. SWEET! I might be able to get a chance to see him. I'm excited about that.

Eddie, what kind of music do you play?
Mike, do you have any action pictures of riding yet? When will we see you on the X-Games jumping through hoops of liquid fire?
Bubbles, Has Hillary called you about fixing her headlight? Will you read this soon enough to read my question for you?

Crazy friggin' poem of the day: Allen Ginsberg - "Howl"

Song of the day: Phantom Planet - "By the Bed"

BUBBLES!!!!

Good to see the other bro join in once in a while. It is also good to hear that your getting your shit straight. Question for ya though... Does the wife have a job?

I have talked this over with ST, and I probably will not be taking the mid tour. Here are the reasons why...
1. It is an extreme expense with going to Vegas then driving to Idaho and then back to Vegas, not to mention the time I am in ID I am going to be spending money on doing things with the wee one.
2. well, there really is no #2 because #1 is pretty major.

I may, however, get a chance to go TDY to Nellis and if I do that I will take leave in conjunction and the AF pays for my plane ticket.

I started doing something new tonight. Well it actually started last night, but they asked me to come back. I am now a DJ at a local club. I don't get paid because that would be illegal for US forces in Korea to have a job off base. They do however, occasionally bring me drinks.

Here is how this started...

I went to the club with Kevin and I was just sitting there bored off my ass so I went to the DJ booth and started talking to the DJ. He asked if I wanted to take over for a while and I did. Well, the manager loved it with the music selection and asked me to come in when the other DJ isn't there at the start of the night. I said "OK." She said she would pay me but I explained the situation.

So tonight I go in to fill in for him before he gets there. No biggy, just doing the thing to kill some time and watch chicks dance on a stage. ALL GOOD... So a little after I get there they tell me that the other DJ was fired or quit... couldn't figure out which one because they were confusing the shit out of me. So I was the DJ all night and it went pretty well. Another thing that I found out was that the owner of the club was there last night and he liked what I was playing and came up to me tonight and said "Good job last night, I like music you play."

This will not interfere with work so no biggies there. I told the manager that I work different shifts and she said just come in when I can. They have a bartender that will DJ when I am not there.

Another interesting thing was that there were 2 lesbo's there tonight. Unfortunately they were not "lipstick lesbians." I think they road there Harley Fat Boys in. It was a rather disturbing sight and I could have sworn that was against military policy. I don't think I would have had as much of an issue with that if they were hotties, but what single guy really does?

I don't have to work the AF job tomorrow since I am working on Saturday from 1000-1300 and then again 2330 to 0530. Saturday is going to just suck. The first part of it is for a certifiers course for a new system and the second part is a regular mid-shift which I will be watching my newly purchased 1st season of "Smallville."

I am tired and am going to go veg out on my bed and watch TV and probably pass out.

Spinnin the 45's like there is no tommorow....Eddie

back in commission

HEY YOU GUYS!

im back online and looking to score. LOL

things are good here in the AK. I took a day off myself because im getting burnt out also. working almost everyday for the past few months just to get caught up with the bills is paying its price. but the good thing is that i am almost caught up with everything. i got about 1000 bucks left on my mortage to get caught up and life will be wonderful. Im hoping by the end of next month, i will be living the good life.

Im looking forward to the summer really badly. the snow is beginning to melt and there was alot of it this year. about 5 feet of it on a rough estimate.

hope everyone is doing well and all the little ones are too.

later bros

Can I get out too?

Please!

I took a day of leave today because I am burned out. Boy, the next two years is going to be VERY long if I am already burned out. Damn.

Oh well.

This Week

This week has already been hell and it is only Wednesday. We had training for my flight on the system that I have been programing since 2 weeks ago. That was just long and drawn out. I had a 4 hour CAS mission today that was utterly uneventful... which is probably a good thing.

Yup... it still sucks ass here

Smoked Gouda

Outside shooting the shitty shit with the neighbor. Wife informs me of smoke on the horizon and building fast. I think to myself,"Self, I didn't realize that there are still indians our here in Nevada using smoke signals! I thought they all went to cell phones by now!"

Since the smoke was more like a block away rather than on the horizon, Ashlee and I walked over with the neighbors to gawk. Flickity flick flick and off we went. Down the street and around the corner was an apartment on fire. And I forgot the marshmallows...dang it. It took awhile for the fire department to show up but when they did the fire was kaput pretty fast.

Two news heliochopters were buzzing around for quite awhile. The news people said there was about $80,000 in damages. Ding a ling lang my ding a long ling long....and the show was over.

On a side note...I didn't ride today. Tomorrow I am going up to base to buy a new service dress since my fat ass won't fit in mine....or I don't think it will (I don't want to try). While up north near the base I will pick up my new rack...I said rack...for the quads. Quad racks!

Slizo on the down low.

ST

Guess what.

What?

I talked to Heidi tonight for 35 minutes. I, of course, rushed the phone towards Hillary and spoke to her at length about how strange it was. I has been nearly four years since our last verbal dialoge. Yikes. I had to call for permission to include her in my book. That was a strange time for us and she was a fairly large part of my life then. So it was.

Hot, Sexy, Steamy

I am glad I wasn't around you if your hormones were flying! I may have had to ask you our or something crazy like that!

I slept the good sleep for 10 hours last night. That just makes me super happy and now I wan't to put brand new batteries in my pencil. Thanks for the reminder, Mungo, since my batteries are getting a little low anyway.

Ta ta foolios.

Cheesy Embrazed Cheeks Peeving the Smoked Gouda

A dry snack and wheat germ crackers. Washed down with Tolamas Merlot. A wonder set of late night snakens.

Just finished a brief 2 hour phone call with Hillary. We talked about her day of work and my day of sheer loafing. I dropped off an application at Books-A-Million and got hit on by two of the girls working there. I went to Applebee's with a book (Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song) and ate honey grilled salmon with almond rice pilaf and steamed veggies. I got hit on by the hostess and the server. Four girls in one day...not a one of them older than 19. This never happens. When I told Hillary about this she laughed. She said that all day at work people were asking her what she was so happy about. She didn't know why they would ask. But let me tell you, the conversation we had last night (warm, reassuring, and sexy) affected the both of us so much that we were both subconsciously showing it. Somehow, my hormones were flying all around me in atomic whirlwind action.

LOL

Dude I about died when I read the SSgt for sale bit on the side. That was fucking hillarious.

Mungo, do what you gotta do. You know above all else we got your back. I myself find "myself" looking at re-upping. My reasons are completely unselfish reasons though, with the exception of the bonus, which honestly does not mean that much to me. I look at it because I need the med bennifits. If I can get them near as good in the outside world I will definately take that option.

So, I was asked out this weekend for next Friday afternoon. I more than likely will not go because I will probably be working. Anyway, as ST knows, it is a Russian chick. Her name is Elena and she is 30. Blonde hair (which she said she is going to dye tonight), brown eyes and i am guessing around 5'5" to 5'6" (can't really tell, she always has high heals on.)No worries though, I do not plan on making her an American citizen. However, the chick is hot and could be a lot of fun while I am in the Big K.

I am eating chunky soup. It is good. It is bachelor food. This will not change for many years to come, because I do not want to give up my soup. he he he...

Mungo, I am also still trying to figure this pencil battry thing. WTFO?

Mungo, you are the man. I have total faith in you that you can pinch pennies and make things happen. Go for it. Money here in Vegas won't be a huge deal for you so don't stress too much...unless you want to do a lot of gambling and stuff.

I am excited for you....word up.

Later guys. I am off to ride...go figure.

Dash Deli's Hong-Wong Holes and the PHONEZILLLA

I spoke to Hillary last night for six hours. It's not record, but it's close. She's amazing!! The only reason we stopped is because my pencils battery died. Hers was beeping too. A few minutes after it went CHAPATTI! She called me back and we said Codington.

Anyways. I spoke to Hillary last night about reenlisting and I decided not to. Before I talked to Hillary I talked to Double O. He asked me what I wanted to do with my life, and then he asked me which was more important, leave the Air Force a poor man and be with Hillary, or stay in the Air Force, maybe get two more assignments, and leave Hillary behind.....

Well. That's pretty decision making when you look at it like that. I'm just going to have to budget WICKEDLY to be out of debt by the time I get out.

I'm going to get dressed and clean and swine now. I'm headed out to Books-A-Million to submit my application. They have open positions on the floor and in the cafe. If I can get a part time job, that helps with the penny pinching scheme.

Yes yes.

I know that every post is about riding. Sorry about that. It is my obsession right now since they are new but I am sure that it will wear off...eventually. It is just soo much fun....you will see.

Not too much else going on right now. I just ordered a rack that will allow us to take both ATV's to different places to ride. I should get it on Tue. I will have to take some pics and send them.

Mungo, you will have to make your own decision about re-uping. That is a life altering decision that only you know the answer to. Some questions to ask....

-How much $ will you have to spend a month for bills? (Food, car, insurance, gas...)
-How much time will you not be working?
-How much cash will you spend on vacations and travel?
-If you stay in will Hillary move with you?
-What do you feel in your heart?

Keep us informed. Good luck.

BBQ EEL

I got a hankerin' for the above. But I can't afford it.

Big thing on my mind, so to speak. I have $300. Hype, three of the big ones. But that's all I have. Maybe more with spare change. And if I hope to conquer all my debt before I separate in September, well sirs... I won't have much more than that when I get out. I'm thinking MAX: $2,000 And that is if I'm disciplined. Now, being disciplined in a dire time isn't a problem for Mungo. Not at all. But the problem is this: can I afford to get out of the Air Force? Dunno, really. Hillary and Double O are in AK and will be there when I plan on moving there in September. They are both wonderful people who have guaranteed that I won't have to worry about a place to live or food to eat. And I'm an industrious person, I won't be w/o a job for too long. But I'll be poor as hell for a long time. Not that I have a problem with bein poor, I'm kinda poor now...but if I reenlist for 4 years I can pay off my car (and fix the bumper!!!!) and hide the rest of it away as a nest egg for the future. These are the things on my mind. Thoughts?

I have used many of those "ble" words in EPR's that I have written. ST will never know the feeling because he has not had a real AF job in a while and probably never will again. He may have to learn how to write a report on the retarded mail carrier though in the near future. Of course the only place where I have actually seen that was in AK at the PO by the dorms.

This week was hell. I hated this week. I was running around and around trying to find shit for a fucking database and couldn't find half the shit I was looking for. I ended up finding all but one. This one is apparently in a reg that nobody seems to have or know about. It is bad when you call HQ and they tell you that they don't have that reg on file. This leads me to believe that Korea is more fucked up than I thought it was. AHHH well.... FUCK IT!

Mungo... you just need to learn some shit on computers. I don't know a whole lot, but I know enough to get me by. ST is definately the sounding board for all computer questions for the most part. But, I also have Kev here who can fix shit too.

Well gents... I am tired and I need to take a dump.

COMPY 386

BOYS BOYS BOYS! How have you been, oh my brothers? Let me explain why I haven't been up wit da blogginz.... My computer is old. Yes? Yes. I am not good with computers. Yes? Yes. And when a problem happens, I don't know how to fix it. Yes? Yes. So I usually send Mike an e-mail and beg his guidance. Even when he tells me what to do he uses big fancy computer words that he must have learned in college. Words like "Install" and words like "version" and "Download." And he puts them into big sentences like "Reinstall Microsoft Word if it's not working," or sentences like, "Download the latest version of..." I don't know what he's talking about! Jeepers.

So, Internet Explorer crumped. I couldn't use it. When I tried, a screen opened up and told me something or other did this or that and it asked me if I wanted to "retry." Over and over this would happen. Then it started happening even when I wasn't trying to open Internet Explorer. I figured this was when pop-ups were trying to happen. So, at first I was happy that I no pop ups were screwing me over. But then I realized that I couldn't look at porn OR blog. (Sometimes those are one and the same...oh....Eddie....I love the way you talk dirty...."Fuck em'" indeed....

Anyway. Jordan Farrell came over to my apartment today and fixed stuff. He asked me questions I didn't understand and my jumbled incoherent answers somehow made sense to him and he has begun to heal my sick compy. I love Compy.

That is why I have not blogged in almost 6 days. It's not because I suck, it's because I let Compy start suckin'. I will try to be more responsible in the future.

There's word I don't like: Responsible. Or "Reliable"... or "Dependable" or "sensible"... and lots of other words that end in -ble

The weather here sucks. It is snowing right now and that blows the biggins. So how did the test go? This year is supposed to have a high promotion rate, but I still doubt I will make it. Personnally I don't give a damn either.

How about the name "Rumbler"?? That sounds like a good name to me. Or you could name it "Crack" since it is your new addiction.

I wanted to go ride my new toys! I could have had all freaking day to go riding up in the mountains but now I am stuck inside and all I can do is go out in to the garage every 30 minutes and pet them and kiss them and....okay, okay. Maybe I will wash them.

What should I name mine? Beck named her's Zulu. I have a bight yellow four wheeler and I need a name. Come on guys, get creative.

Talk to you guys later.
