Off Topic / Book++?

« on: June 30, 2005, 12:11:23 AM »

Im currently reading Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King.
Its the fifth book in his dark tower series, his fantasy series. Its okay.

Outside of Joseph Heller, Douglas Adams and Isaac Asimov nothing ever seems to hold my interest long.

I dont do anything really. I havent got a job yet since getting back form Iraq but I have an interview with UPS on tuesday at freaking 4 in the morning.

I make pretty decent money from the government though, they pay my tuition and then the GI bill gives me 600ish a month spending cash. Plus they keep sending me to training which makes me money. I go to Airborne school in August.

Since I just turned 21 yesterday Ill probably spend most of my time drunk for a while, even though my friends and quite a few strangers almost killed me last night in downtown Denver with insane amounts of alcohol.

im an airsoft fanatic too, my friends and I are driving to Cali in a week or two to play in a big tourny out there.

Well, I am SOCOM so I dont do stupid work like cleaning latrines. In Iraq we had sargeants and specialists telling colonels and majors that we wouldnt do KP or cleaning. I also got a general mad at me for carrying a captured weapon and instead of giving in we just moved out of his area. SOCOM isnt the normal army, My job is an enlisted MOS with a lot of NCOs and a few officers.

Oh, and I make more money for school than a friend of mine in ROTC. We graduated highschool together, he went ROTC I went to basic, Ill be out of the army before him with vitually the same benefits.

General / Stuck keys help

« on: June 09, 2005, 10:08:13 PM »

I have disabled sticky keys, didnt help.

And yes, sometimes I can just press that key a few times and get it to stop but when you are a fade attacking upgraded marines, youve already lost your momentum and youre almost dead.

Im thinking Im just going to reformat the thing while Im gone in Utah for the Army and hope that fixes it.

Thanks though guys.

General / Stuck keys help

Okay, Ive finally had enough of this. It seems that most of the time that I die as a higher lifeform its because of some stuck keys setting that I cant find. I end up going up, down, left, or right into a wall and unable to get off of it while marines shoot me in the back.

Ive got Xp, its a presario laptop with all the original HP extras still on because I never bothered to reformat. Ive messed with the accessability options and the keyboard settings endlessly and I cant make it go away. My friend has virtually the same computer but he reformated when he got it and he doesnt have the problem.

I also dont have the problem with other games but most other games dont have me holding keys as long. I think it may have happened a few times in Doom 3 as well.

Any ideas? Pls help

for one, most officers jobs suck. All paperwork. I have only ever had to write annexes to op orders and I would hate having to write the whole thing all the time.

Secondly, since Ive been in the army I get along better with enlisted folk anyhow. They are more fun, and enlisted folk tend to have their heads up their arses a little less. Plus, with ROTC you have a big commitment after college ends, 4 to six years of ACTIVE duty. Thats every day. Im too insubordinate to take every day army.

« on: June 07, 2005, 09:03:21 PM »

Dont most people know who Mao is? Maybe im just being foolish here but he is one of the biggest names in the last hundred years. Oh, and some movie made in China about the time he was taking power gave me the greatest insult ever. The old man was yelling at the main character dude for being poor and he was all like" Get out of here, TURLE SPAWN!"

I have no idea what it means, but it rocks

So, I just finished driving all over Denver to get my GI bill activated so that they will pay me for school. Had to do a bunch of useless paperwork and what not. Very annoying. But that wasnt too bad because it means I get paid for nothing.

What got me was when I was driving home and my cell rang with some crazy out of state number. Its my unit saying "Are you ready to leave for PLDC on saturday?" and im all like "OMG WTF HAXORS@!!!" No one ever bothered to tell me.

Now Im going to be in some po dunk town god knows where for three weeks, Ill miss a lot of the lunixmonster tournament(sorry team disorganized), Ill spend my 21st birthday SOMEWHERE and ill have to do pushups on my bum wrist than barely works. and to top it off Ill have to be respectful and professional and listen to morons all while getting up insanely early.

Why did I ever join the army?

I had to make sure everyone knew swift:)

Seriously though, I was at a sausage fest of a party and needed to consume massive amounts of alcohol to make it fun. When I got home I couldnt play ns so I posted. Seemed like a great idea at the time.

I did get to see my jumbo shrimp pasta twice last night.

I figured you were older for some reason. Evil internet screwing with my head.

Happy birthday, even though 19 is the worst birthday ever. Youre still a teenager and get no new priveledges.
