Random thoughts....

Okay nothing in particular to write about today so just some random stuff:

1) Ben Roethlisburger, the QB for the Steelers was injured in a motocycle accident in which he wasn't wearing a helmet. PA law says you don't have to wear one. Was he legal? Sure. Was he stupid? You betcha. Not to mention that's my favorite football team and now the bum might miss part of the season.

2) I really fucking hate songs where the children sing. Here at work we have music all day over the PA which is quite enjoyable. However, this morning the Tina Turner song came on about ,"...we don't need another hero..." And then "...all the children sing, we don't need another hero..." GOD I hate that! They always sound like an unorganized cluster with no rythmical sense at all. Same thing in Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Any song with children singing always makes me cringe.

3) Along the same lines I hate these awards shows and concerts with varying artists where they all come out on stage at the end for the "finale" and sing together. Hey, shut the fuck up you all sound like a giant bag of ass. Nobody finds it touching or symbolic or any other emotion you want them to find in it....it just sounds like shit.

4) The storm in Florida was a wash. As much as you could tell the media wanted it to turn into a destructive megastorm it didn't. 2 days ago every meteorologist under the sun was positive it would turn into a hurricane. Sorry fellas but will power doesn't work with that whore mother nature. Looks like the global warming problem is going away. Did you know that 2 days ago former President William Clinton spoke at a conference and said that Bush administration policies were partially to blame for global warming? Yep, he sure did. For a Rhodes Scholar that guy isn't too bright.

5) I have my new furniture being delivered tomorrow. I am pretty fired up about that. My couch and love seat have seen better days. By the end of the weekend my front yard will be just about complete too. It's gonna look like a totally different place when my girls get home.

6) World Cup soccer. Now I am no soccer fan but I watch the world cup. Especially since everyone is saying the US has a good team this year. Well, it sure didn't seem that way when they got trounced 3-0 by the Czechs. When I was over in Germany I bought an authentic Team Germany soccer jersey. It is awesome, I love it. I guess I will just pull for the Germans since they actually have a real team and I have their jersey.

7) I am supposed to golf today after work. Well we leave work early to golf so it's not technically after work. However, the remnants of that damn tropical storm are bearing down on us and we're supposed to have thunderstorms. Figures, the one day I want to golf is the one day all this week we're supposed to get shitty weather.

8) When I send people e mails I have my signature block on there that says FAAD C2. I always get, "what's that mean"? Well it stands for Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control. That's the program I run here. It consists of a myriad of different air defense systems which track threats, categorize them, send notifications, and feed data to counter-battery units to basically shoot down these threats. They also track friendly air traffic and allow maneuver commanders a real time picture of a battlefield's air space. That's nothing you can't find out from a google search on FAAD C2. As far as details, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

9) Game 5 of the stanley cup tonight. GO CAROLINA....beat them Canadian bastards!!!!
