As my brain melts and becomes one with reality, the affair of this journey of life becomes familiar with you and me.

The Poll to the Right
Another Splotchy Virus
I had been shuffling around the house for a few hours and already felt tired. The doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw a figure striding away from the house, quickly and purposefully. I looked down and saw a bulky envelope. I picked it up. The handwriting was smudged and cramped, and I could only make out a few words."(Splotchy)
Despite the throbbing pain in my knees and the dull ache in my lower back, I bent down slowly and picked up the envelope...
Oh no. It did not say this, did it?
Oh yes, it did. It did.
The handwriting was familiar in a way that inspired a cold sweat and a bout of nausea. It was the penmanship of my former husband. You know - the one that was presumed dead.
He disappeared in a suspicious blogging related accident a number of years ago and was never heard from again. I was devastated. I had hated the blog, loathed the thing. What began as a hobby that took but a few minutes a day had morphed into an addiction, the proportions of which could not be measured. It was pure evil.
The blog turned into a cruel and demanding mistress and her siren song was more than I could compete with. One day he left for an evening event, never to return again.
All fingers pointed to one blogger, but I could never get the charges to stick. That one is slick- slick, slick, slick. He can talk a good game and write like nobody's business. But there is something about him, it just is not right.
So my husband was gone, that other one kept blogging and I had to rebuild my life, which I did.
So I finally had the bastard declared dead.
And now this. (FranIam)
Suddenly the phone rang, and I felt like I was ten inches tall and eerie music was playing in the background. I went to pick up the phone and the music stopped.
"Hello?"
Dial tone, no one was there. I glanced back to the door, and there he was. He rushed me and rose his hand and...
Suddenly the phone rang and I just had that "black cat, Friday the 13th" kind of feeling. I looked out into the world. No one, no one was about. I closed and locked the door and went to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
Dial tone, no one was there. I glanced back at the door and it was locked.
I directed my attention to the envelope, abruptly, I heard a knock at the door.(Wyldth1ng)

Sticker Rant
Just because the sticker is blue, does not give that vehicle the right of way.
End of Story.

UPDATE- Officers have blue DoD stickers, Enlisted have red DoD stickers.

UPDATE- I wasn't on base.

The Slip Under the Door Meme
Ten Years Ago what was I doing?
The year of Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Eight, I was in the Marine Corps. Holy Shit! And I was here at MCAS New River, but was going to school. I was changing jobs from a jet electrician to a helo electrician. Yeah, I was pulling the wool over Uncle Sam's eyes that year.
Five Things on Today's "To Do" List
Go to Occupational therapy. Check
Go to post office. Check
Go to commissary. Check
Go to work. Check
Go to sleep and dream. Half check.
If I were a Billionaire
I believe I did a post about what I would do if I was a millionaire, so let's assume that what ever I was going to do for that piddly amount of money, I satisfied it.
I think the only rational thing to do after that, would be to attach lasers on dolphins and let them rule the world for a while.
Three Bad HabitsIf in a bar and there is a lot of smoke, I will subconsciously ask to a smoke a cigarette, thinking I am still a smoker( then later I will get sick from the smoke smell).
I basically can not remember any one's name longer than about thirty seconds, if I see you again and call you by your first name, odds are I imagined you naked in some sort sex-themed love park.
I drink copious amounts of alcohol to rid myself of the pain.
Five Places I've Lived
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
USS Nassau, USS Saipan, USS Guam, USS Wasp
Futenma, Okinawa, Japan
Millington, Tennessee
Yuma, Arizona
Five Jobs I've Had
This is by far is the hardest one. I have been in the Marines for more than a decade now, that alone should count as five jobs.1-Waiter/Maître d'
2-Bartender
3-Auto-Barrel Operator (Plating factory)
4-Post Hole Drilling & Fences (ha ha, not funny.)
5-Librarian - Aide Technician (I don't have a degree, so I think they added the technician part to make me feel special.)

Pet Peeve #23
There are several words in the English language that are already plural with the addition of certain words preceding it.
Every
Some
Any
There is no need to add a fucking "s" at the end of the word that is already plural.
So quit fucking doing it!
If you happen to be talking to me and I slap the back of your head for being a dumb ass, know now you have been forewarned.

Alpha Males Running Rampant
I was immediately pissed off at this point in time. Then the HM1 a the front desk said this schmuck would be part of my evaluation. I then promptly said fuck you, and my afternoon went way better after that.
Needless to say, they did some switching around and I did my evaluation with some other people. I have to call back tomorrow with my decision to do:
a) nothing.
b) see a counselor off the books. (Requires extra driving on my part.)
c) see a licensed clinical practitioner either:
i) on base, on the record. (Able to give Meds.)
ii) off base, on the record. (Able to give Meds.)
iii)off base, off the record. ( Kind of a big shoulder, but closer to home.)
Who knew I would have all these decisions to make?

Head Doctor
People, Places and Things
The house that I am in a contract for has at least two more weeks of repairs, which in turn means I have at least two weeks more with the rental situation.
The doctors have given me a prescription of Celebrex, does nothing for the pain, stops me from taking aspirin, and have AmbienCR which helps me sleep in four hour blocks.
The goods news is
I am seeing a head doctor tomorrow?
