President Obama, yelling at Presidential Candidates after they do nothing to stop the booing of gay soldiers.
Obama better win otherwise it will all go to hell. GO OBAMA.
Hallelujah Obama. Social experimentation? What a very passive answer as a presidential hopeful.

I am astonished at the United States of America. On the news, specifically CNN, I watched the House walk off stage while one of the Democratic Whip Representatives ask about what they are going to do about all those people, approximately 50 million Americans, who won’t be having a Merry Christmas this year because the House (of Republicans) are already hi-jacking out for the holidays WITHOUT getting their work done. What the fucking fuck?! Joke is on us, as a fucking whole, for electing these fools to represent the United States of Fucking America. Mean time, seconds later CNN (as well as other news stations and media) reports approximately 8 or so US soldiers are in discussion about being the cause of a fellow soldier’s death, aka suicide. His name was Danny (i think) Chen. Asked him numerous times in a goat-like voice if he was Chinese. What the fuck soldiers?! We, as a nation, are getting over homosexuality in the military and now there is still racism in our midst?! You don’t deserve to carry the name of being a US citizen, nor protect-er of our home. Get the fuck out, you give us a horrible name.
My dad and brother are always on the golf channel as well as other sports channels. The only difference between the two is that if they aren’t watching sports my brother is watching police/gang/prison/etc. type shows while my dad is watching the military channel.
It is so interesting. It is like looking at the things they read. It gives me new insight on how they think and feel.
The military instructors and even a lot of military personnel outside of basic training are a contradiction of what they try to instruct and brain-wash the trainees. I am not going to lie and say the US Military is just a waste of space because they aren’t, but the things they try to jam-pack in your brain to train you is just odd. I could see many of my fellow flight-airman on my floor/dorm get so into the activities of basic training and they will probably use this place as a high-point in their lives, but then there were a select few who just went through the motions and some couldn’t handle it in general and left or was discharged for sucking at basic training.
Where-ever I was going with that I don’t know. Oh yes, the contradiction of the military that annoys me to the max. A lot of them always say “they dislike civilians” because they are rude and don’t know how to act. Sure, that maybe true to a certain point, but really the military is no different. A lot of co-workers I worked with, higher ranked included, were so grumpy, impatient and just rude in general. The recruiters were nice and helpful, but they probably wouldn’t be good if they had a shitty attitude so they fit the profile.
Of course, that is my personal experience and I even gave a comment about that in my exit-interview. “Co-workers, especially higher ranked officers, were grumpy, unhelpful and impatient.”
I remember in basic training that they didn’t want you to smile. I even got in trouble and given one of these paper things that document my “smile” and what-not. I sneezed. They thought it was a smile. That officer can go fuck himself. I remember when we took pictures for our graduation or something they told us not to smile in it. It wasn’t the group picture, but the individual ones. Everyone was like “I was dumb because I was going to be recycled.” I’m like “fuck you and fuck your ignorance. I’m paying for these pictures so I can do whatever I want to do in them.” I had a pretty good smile too. I knew better because I didn’t get recycled and graduated with my flight. Stupid dumb “trainee leaders” didn’t even get “honor graduate” or whatever that award is called. No wonder my flight sucked majorly, because we were lead by a bunch of ass-clowns that was high on fake power over fellow trainees.
Just something I was thinking about.
I know my sensuality/sexuality, I know my mental and physical capability and and a lot of human emotion. I am in my early 20s and I am still learning and feel extraordinary for it. I don’t question myself anymore. In confrontation, or battle, I know what side I’m on: I’m on my side. When someone does not make sense, I do not go for the kill or remain passive, I observe and report. I love. I cherish.
I guess I have changed by joining the military.
It seriously messed me up.
In a good way.
You don’t try to stop Alicia Florrick, because all you’re going to do is piss her off.
Hell hath no...
omg Korra. You are perfect.
I’m 2 minutes and 25 seconds in and I’m already in love with you.
