the rambleshack

hey here i am again, did you ever know that life is full of strange shit? here i found myself writing a paper last night about the reasons why the bible has been a source of moral strength for the western world since whenever, adn how democracy seems to be a slight hindrance of sorts to human happiness.

this entry is almost a week old, so sorry about that but check out the new happy fun times...... FMJ is a great movie.

i wonder sometimes what it'll be like to be back home, with no more comfort zone like here- back doing real shit. i'll be the first to say it was tiring, demanding and stressful. but hey, i figure my path here is crossing with people who would never have met a foreign national navy dude, ever. nice thought, eh? i actually think i'm glad to be given this opportunity from time ot time, bt when the monotony of shorebound training life hits me, i wonder if it was all worth it or no. maybe death will tell me, maybe time will tell or change me, but i dont think for a second i'll be unhappy doing whatever, to make up for this uniqueness. hahaha could you picture me as a teacher in some school somewhere messing with people's minds? young kids minds. tearing paradigms away. nice.

so i hope you all have had a good week tune in soon for more shit.

all right dedicated listeners, welcome back to another instalment of midday macroeconomic mayhem as i start blabbing shit here in the economics lab in Sampson Hall, which is in the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD USA, approx 38 N, 76 W, which is a long ways from home, but i dont care anymore. so whatr can i do when you feel that terrible lonliness, godliness, cleanliness, etc etc. dammit, SP was the shit, was it not, i wish i could be a happy camper but i have too much to think about but too little to motivate im tired oh whining too i think action must be the way to go! action action!

spectacular spectacular, hahahahaha i need to go shine some boots and shoes and get with the shit for swimming, for ethics and then my midterm western civ thingimajig i fear it may become a large part of my grade which i want to be good, but wanting is nothing, i shall will it so.

dammit listeners, this isnt good at all, look at the consistency here, not too good, eh? i think this might be indicative of a deeper failing in time management and associated policy. be not too quick to either obey or disobey rules and shit, for they go either way.....
carry on my wayward son!

hope this is good

so hows the shit going, folks? i guess since the bombings in bali and the impending shit about to hit this week are bad things, some good will come of all this, like a ferragamo shirt, or a pair of oakleys or something. i figure there wont be too much in the way of the pursuit of excellence here, but i think some amount of pain will be an absolute requirement here like the not-training enough for the MCM or the ATM in the next two weeks, or the aikido seminar by saotome sensei's wife right on the MCM weekend. this shoudl be interestiong, we'll see how chief hysler does his thing.

running out of money i think that might be an issue i should really cut down on some expenses yes? perhaps hahah perhaps not! it is that time of the year when we're all hunkering down for fear of the cold. crikey mein laddie! ja, ja. shjit. good good have fun kant vs utility, vs existentialism. i dont know i think i will be much wiser if i practiced more and asked less. this question of miss lam i dont quite know how to deal with in my little mind.

so i listen to the band he said that it could be the two of us

dearest shipmates and anyone else who tunes in, my warm greetings.

ever wondered if there's a limit to personal possessions where one man can find only negligible utility for his last dollar? well i just got this letter asking if i might be interested in a golf tournament in Puerto Rico this december. wow, how fricking frivolous is that? five days of golf and cigars, expensive dinners and shit. the total cost including lodging excepting airfare is $5000. thats a lot of fucking money for five days, just to hang out with rich, fat, old, successful at accumulating wealth types.

geez. anyways......i was just about to say that we should be doing things for the purpose of perfection/excellence, perhaps? get home after work to east coast, hit up some evening drives, walk down the beach with significant other, dinner, then walk back home. nice, huh? hmmm. i wonder how my parents are. okay so. very well carry on.

hallo hallo. long time no see, eh? ja.

okay so now it's thursday night! just got my ass whupped at aikido by doug sensei, i think i feel very well massaged by my numerous landings on the mat on various parts and at various speeds by various people. very fun. fatboy slim on the stereo tonight i need the mindless adrenaline to plow through homework or i will just collapse and die. strange- its like 78 degrees outside tonight on an OCTOBER night why the hell is it so hot?

do stuff and carry on with life is what i say; i think the romantics and the Gothic in particular are still relevant in a limited, fluffy way, though. what we need is a balance.... a via media! then we will be cool......... singaporeans shouldnt complain- we came into the market pretty late so we have a system which pretty much has taken care of many of the flaws faced by systems in the past: like buying the latest PDA; we're top of the line if we dont get complacent.

okay heres the quote of the day: "here, have a beer!"-Maj Tony Heideman, USMC

if i could have one thing for christmas, i hope its your sister.

what a comforting thought. by the way, hows everybody doing out there tonight? good? great! you've come all this way for the comedy club and i trust you will not be disappointed.........

"Tan is too proud to learn the laws and definitions and procedures of solving problems that are the heart of physics. He prefers to live superficially using his intelligence to give answers rather than analyze and deduce. I have challenged him to submit to the processes of science and give up the glory of being right without thinking. I hope he is not too proud to accept the challenge."

okay so have a good laugh with me and i'll show you the way. be true to your fundamentals of physics, ja?
