I’m a big fan of documentaries, and channels like the History Channel. However, recent offerings have made me want to scream, “Enough with Hitler and ancient Rome already!” Some alien culture, getting only our documentary channels, would think nothing of note happened on our planet between Caligula and WWII. And worse, that no ONE of note lived between Caligula and WWII.In that spirit, I offer up a suggestion: enough of Alexander the Great. Julius Caesar? Been there, done that.

Why hello all my faithful readers, My, my, how close to the end we are. So as I mentioned at the very end of my last installment I went to Morocco. Morocco is the first truly different place I’ve traveled to. It’s considered a developing country. It’s not westernized. Religion and the state are not separate. The King has the power to dissolve Parliament. 99.9% of the population is Muslim. Geographically it’s the closest I’ve been to the States, culturally, it’s the furthest.

Stars & Stripes are the only official military papers) for the misleading headline "2008 Military Times poll: Wary about Obama".

The end of the year is always a time for introspecition and retrospection. When I was a teenager growing up, I would read through all of my previous diaries and remind myself of events that had come and gone. I would also sit and look through photo albums. I don't do that anymore, mainly because it would take days to go through 42 years of memories like that. And because my life always seems so full, I would rather be looking forward than backward.

Hi there. Last week was a busy week with the holidays and such. And by “such,” I mostly mean drinking. This has sent up some red flags with my mind and my liver to LAY THE FUCK OFF. Especially after coming home on Friday night at 2am and deciding it was a good idea to go back out. Barely anything good happens after 1am, but nothing good happens after 2am. Speaking of being out late, it appears that nobody is working this week except me. I make this judgment based on the number of drunk people Illinois Blues News

And a running back is not going to pout over not getting the ball. Or one team isn’t splitting apart because a nut job thinks the quarterback is conspiring against him.” . . .
