Fair Winds, Following Seas

So in case you aren’t a pop culture fiend like I am let me catch you up to date. Kim Kardashian is basically famous for being famous. She has a reality tv show and perfumes named after her and probably some clothes and handbag lines. Yesterday she filed for divorce, which happens but not usually [...]

I’m not making fun of the disaster(s) but between Tornados, flooding, hurricanes and humidity it stuns me that people live in the south/central USA. People fear California because of earthquakes but they aren’t that bad or frequent. The pacific northwest is even better. I’ll take a lot of rain to not live in fear of [...]

Today at the DMV I wasn’t allowed to register the Prius because Clark wasn’t with me. I hate when I can’t get things done because Clark is considered the more important part of our union. We are married, we have joint banking and I have his best interests at heart. I’m not trying to steal [...]

Yesterday we went to Seattle for the day to hang out with Justin and Jane. We had a lot of fun but that isn’t the point of this post. The point of this post is a lesson learned: Never, ever, take the ferry right before a Seahawks game.
Why? How about traffic diversions which funnel you [...]

As some of you have seen the major news outlets have been covering the “scandle” and investigation of Navy Captain O.P. Honors, the (sadly) former CO of the USS Enterprise. I was going to rant about it but a friend of mine I know from the ship said it far better than I could on [...]

I’ve been meaning to rant about this for a while now but life, the holidays, my headaches, etc all got in the way. But now I’m all fired up and ready to rant!

Me fired up!
What am I upset about? I’m pissed about the renewal of the Bush tax taxes recently passed by congress. Many articles [...]

Last night: third crushing headache in as many days during a workout.
Today: casually explain this to Corpsman, who tells doctor, who orders me in a wheelchair and sent by ambulance to ER.
This evening: CAT scan and spinal tap determine no cerebral bleeding, aneurysm, or meningitis.
Diagnosis: The vague (but aptly named) “Exercise Induced Headaches” which can [...]

After over three years of trying to get the Navy to provide me laser corrective eye surgery I was shot down today. I’m pretty bummed. Since my vision isn’t horrible, my corneas are thinner than normal and my eyes don’t have the ideal shape they decided I wasn’t an ideal candidate and since the Navy [...]

It turns out the whole neighborhood was vandalized. After calling work letting them know I was…delayed to say the least (which pisses me off because I’ve never been late for duty/watch) I made a police report and began cleaning out the glass. As I spent the early morning hours vacuuming I had multiple people come [...]

Before I go on I need to mentioned that skydiving was unfortunately canceled yesterday due to high winds (darn safety requirements…). Two weeks from now we jump!
A Facebook friend and I recently enjoy a back and forth discussion regarding all kinds of good things, namely the US Constitution, Christianity, and the founding fathers. I thought [...]
