Yo Fools

Anyone read this anymore? Just curious.

Check out Twitter. I really like it a lot now. I'm following some Mavs stuff, plus some actors that are pretty funny actually. It makes for a good daily read, plus I get news and sports info when I check it. A convenient one-stop shop for everything when I'm in a hurry.

Soulpancake.com, the brainchild of actor Rainn Wilson (of Dwight Schrute/Office fame), offers up morsels of thought to chew on daily.

I plan on spending time on some of their questions on here. Expect more posts.

EDIT: I removed what I previously wrote for like an hour. Who wants to read through all that crap?

Interesting points of my life right now:
+ My d-bag SLPO is becoming a Chief tomorrow, and I cannot think of anyone less deserving. Our class is going to be there to watch/support him. He's going to be in San Diego for our graduation. Asshole.

+ Got my crows (Perched Eagle and one chevron) sewn on my dress uniforms. Next Friday, you can call me Petty Officer Parker. Too bad the pay raise doesn't go in effect until mid October.

+ I am on a remix downloading binge. I think my next step is to go out and buy a USB mixer for my computer and begin laying down tracks like I did back in high school and college. T-Track is going to be pretty boring.

+ Excited about Texas. October 30th-November 9th, now official as I have bought my plane tickets.

+ Baylor will crack the top 25 this season, you heard it here first.

+ I really wish I had all my movies here.

+ Comp is going to suck next week, then after that I'm worry free.

+ I think most dance clubs are really gay unless I have quite a bit to drink and feel like dancing. No girl you meet in a club/bar is going to be quality. No DJ is really that good (at least in South Carolina). No bartender really knows what they're doing (I'm still waiting for one that knows what a damn Cuba Libre is, even for how simple it is).

+ I miss the evenings where me and the boys would sit out back and smoke a cigar. Too bad no one here is down for that. Or ice cream/Monopoly parties (easily the best staying out of trouble but still having a good time idea we ever had).

+ Tagging along with that, I miss the good old days of random adventures with P-Dub, TK, B-Reg (Greg), Arminho, Mike, and whoever else would join.

Drink It Up:

3G (More fun than your iPhone)

2 oz of Gin
Filled to top with Ginger Ale
Stir
Splash Grenadine

Guess Who's Back?

Back to the blog world. I decided to check up on Ted, and I see that he has been continuing his blog with some regularity. I'll try to keep pace.

I've been in Charleston for near 3 months now. It's nice here. The "Low Country," as they call it, has a little bit of it all. The beach, the harbor, the food, the nightlife, the history. That's why it's a huge tourist destination. Sailors have a bad rep down here, just like we have a bad rep in foreign countries. Get enough young guys with a lot of money and the prospect of drinking a lot, then havoc will be wrecked.

I'm 21 now. It's nice to be able to have a drink with dinner or go out without having the shame of being underage. I don't think I like clubs. I mean, it's nice to be able to go out and hear some good tunes while dancing with the beautiful ladies of the southeast (still no comparison to the ladies of Texas). But a lot of times I really just feel like going into one of Charleston's many wine and cheese places like Social and having a relaxing evening down by the water. There is a place called the Charlestowne Tobacco & Wine, which if you know me, you know that it fits my style just nicely. What seems like a small cigar selection has more than meets the eye. Had a really good Rocky Patel the other night. The wine room, adjacent to the entrance, is wall to wall with wines. I'll have to inspect their collection, but I have few doubts that they have a good selection. Complete with couches and a small patio, smoking and sipping is not only allowed but encouraged. Now to find people to join me.

The Navy has been nice. I enjoy it. It's a tough lifestyle at times, but it's also nice to realize I made that sacrifice to serve my country. There are some assholes in the Navy, and some good people. Finding the ones to stick to is essential for private life. As far as work, ONE TEAM ONE FIGHT always comes to mind when you want to punch your boss.

Ted: I've been meaning to catch up with you, but our time differences make it difficult. That, and the fact that I am not authorized to have any electronics in the Rickover Center (where I spend about 85% of my time during the week). But if it's any consolation, I have downloaded almost every single song you put on your blog the past few weeks.

The best sports drink of all time:

THE LEBOMB JAMES

1. Pour splenda packets on your hands, as much as you think will do.
2. Pour a shot of crown and pour a can of redbull into a glass.
3. Drop the crown into the redbull.
4. Chug.
5. Throw the splenda into the air (like Lebron does in his pregame ritual) and clap your hands a few times.


Cheers.
