Idle thoughts, I at
one point had something specific to write about and now I don't
Where to begin?
There's always this
weekend.
Ah, it all comes back
to me now. So Friday would have been great if my Spirit SGT wasn't the
socially retarded twit and screwed up the auction. I do partially regret
going to my teachers party, but its too late to care. Now my solution
is to retreat to my usual level of indifference, though it kinda pains
me to do so. Of course this was after I freaked out on him with exclaiming
"If you ever disobey my orders .... " and "you're out of
the loop." I don't get upset easily so I don't know how to cope when
I do. It usually ends up with me crying or doing something childish.
So there's that
And then there is the
parade and bbq and football game on Saturday. Used my connections to cut
in line, get a personalized burger, and then chill in a comfy chair. Then
I got out of the whole marching onto the field or whatever happened by
helping clean up the mess. By the time I got up to the stadium it was
about 2nd quarter. Wandered with Yolanda for a while before searching
for A3. I'm not a particularly hyper, jump around kinda person but I liked
being in their company, even though Peter pushed me off the stands during
rock the black gold. It was pretty funny, he cleared about a 10 foot radius
around him.
Ok, I'm tired of recapping
... one last comment .. I finally have me car back up here ... yay!
(you know, I'm missing
my favorite sandals)
With Military History
and now branch selection I've been thinking about the army and war in
general. It's odd the class is nicknamed Mil Art, while the admitted nature
of the army is destructive. I guess the military does create, it creates
means to be more destructive. It creates a means to perpetuate itself.
It is necessary for it to exist because it exists. I think it is a creation
of men. The whole premise of the army is based on the nature of men. And
I would have never thought about it had I not come here. Because it's
existed so long it has all this outside conceptions and traditions etc
built around it. But when it comes down to the bottom of it, its just
the same as it is with all other male creatures, the males fight, we just
have made our reasoning seem more complex and noble ....
