Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so sad. :(

Onystone's background formula isn't working for me. It just doesn't pop up, I put my image address for the picture below in the URL spot, check the first box that says fixed positioning, I don't click the tile image, and put the length as 800, and then hit generate layout code + preview, and then hit post new blog..... and nothing happens. My blog could look at arcticy, but instead it looks all poopy, and amateurish. I am sorry everyone for disappointing your with my horrid looking blog, perfectly understandable if you want to delete me as a friend. Better to have people who know what they are doing. I'm just going to sit here in limbo, trying forever to figure this out.

I picked up a microphone the other day, was planning on making my first Audiobook recording (Aristotle's' Politics), but my stupid roommate refused to leave, and there was nowhere else I could go to. I can hear the bastard breathing on the other side of the room. Can't wait till I'm out of the military.

All my stuff is packed in tuff boxes. I rigged up my backpack to hold my kayaking paddles in a similar way we used to rig up the old snowshoes on our Alice Packs, cept mine are crisscrossed, reducing their height. I'm seriously thinking about Kayaking the length of the Ohio river here soon after I get out. Alaska isn't too bad for the time being, snows have melted. Dead grass everywhere. Moose and bear running amuck. Roommate refuses to go play with the bears. I encourage him often to do it. I need some peace and quiet, and hard core studying. With all the audiobooks I have on my Ipod, I think I can do both now.

On far more important news, my Gardenscape Project may be getting off the ground here soon. I got a few people interested in it. I need to drawl up some official plans for it. If fully implemented, should solve the food crisis within ten years, and end the warfare in places like Rwanda, where the genocide is fueled more from lack of sufficient arable land in relationship to population. I'm going to be really miffed if some freak accident happens and I find myself dying, and no one implemeting my ideas.

Got back from my vacation. Went to Pittsburg, Washington DC, New Your, Montreal, Pittsburg, Cincinatti, then San Diego, with a few smaller stops inbetween.

Back in Alaska. Getting out of the army real soon, can't wait. For everyone suddenly mailing about Art of War material... I have no clue what the sudden upsurge of intrest in this stuff has been in others, but if your looking, you've either already read Sun Tzu or Vegetius, and mabey a few others. By best advise if looking for new texts to study, read KISHIDO. It's one of the best sourse books around, and not a bad philosophy book at all. It's oriented to the martial arts, but doesn't teach any moves or techniques, ratherm it focuses on the western history of Strategy and Morality, among others. He's read a few texts I havn't even touched, so I highly recommend it.

Hey everyone. I was in the audience for the Late Night show with Conan O'Brian today. Gotta be honest, the show kinda sucked, but oh well, the Max Weinberg seven saved the experiance and made it lively for the audience, but it's gonna suck on the air.

Will be in the Today show crowd tommorrow.

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, CONAN, YOUR BEARD SUCKS!!!!!!

Been going through the manuscript section of the Library of Congress. Finally have seen what Bellifortis is all about. Gonna see Vegetius tomorrow, so excited. Also found a book by Sir John Smythe on military ordinances, hope to get it copied soon.

I'm in Washington, DC now. Just saw the Christopher Marlowe play Tamburlaine, just down the street from my uber expensive Hotel. The guy in the bookstore asked me what I thought of it afterwards... I said it was a big play, but the most important part I took away from it was that the same personality that could forge a empire in the face of hostility would be prone to destroy himself. I also said I didn't understand half the words being spoken, and didn't understand the importance of the captain's wife... seemed outta place. The Commander from Deep Space Nine played as Tamburlaine, was quite believeable in his role... might even call him pretty good. I'm planning on seeing Edward II tomorrow.

p.s. grew a beard.

Well, I can't change my photo, no matter how many times I load my new one... so I am in a perpertual loving embrace with my ex-girlfriend... for all to see.

Iraq was stupid, as I suppose most any campaign in history has been, but it was a personal kind of stupid, as in I got real up close and personnal with it, and am now quite willing to shrug the politics of it away. I was thinking about the American troops fighting up in the Atlas mountains during World War 2, killing Germans in North Africa. Was it needed... yes, but nothing seems more muffed up and retarted than spending that much time in the prone, dehydrating to shoot misplaced Germans. But it happened, and most willingly by the troops in the beginning, though I'm sure they suffered from the WTF shock of why such a silly situation exsists in the first place. I'm starting my own publishing company as soon as I get out. I want to make books. My knee is in pretty bad shape right now, so I'll be getting out soon. Spending this month of leave, starting yesterday and ending late january, traveling about North America doing research and looking for books. Just waiting for the plane to take off. Listened to Jefferson Starship's song Leavin about 40 times so far while waiting. Not coming fast enough. I'll be posting like in the old days soon enough, bye
all.

Something about the internet here in Iraq is preventing me from marking the sites I like, so here I go instead, doing it unoffically.

A site featuring the writtings of Ibn Khaldun, a great philosopher and intellectual from the Maghrib, 14th century.

Alright, I'm back in the saddle again. JRTC sucked, and Alaska seems colder than before.
