Beware of Skunk Bear

So this is why a wolverine doesn't run out on the field ahead of the Michigan players...





"My rule is Tom can't blink"

Funny Story...Martin's heard of Street Pizza too.

Sunshine... on a rainy day.

Jimmy must have read the posting where he was compared to the lead singer of SUM-41. Evidently, being compared to a So-Cal Punk Rock frontman didn't suit him, so he decided to try on So-Cal turned Southern Quarterback. I present to you, Exhibit "A"












The best part about his new do is that it is inherently conducive to throwing touchdown passes. Don't believe me? Just watch Remember the Titans a few more times. I just hope he hasn't taken his idolization of Sunshine so far as to be kissing Maurice Crum in the locker room.

In Case You Didn't Know About My Weekend


Answers and Weekend review in short:

-        Yes, I drove out with Greg, Jeff, and Tom on Friday.

-        Yes, my car was broken into Friday night after 2 am and before 8 am (its 4th break-in in South Bend) and Yes, the stereo and Greg’s and my ipods were taken just to name a few things.  Also stolen was a Pong-a-long folding beer pong table…damn thieves.

-        Yes, the St. Jo sheriff who showed up was a k9 unit with a cool dog, and he told me in not so many words to lie about having more in the car.

-        Yes the cop laughed with me as he told me the thieves probably needed a new kitchen table for their piece of shit apartment. (In reference to the pong-a-long)

-        Yes, we tailgated hard and long…my first Double jack and coke came shortly after I found my car broken.

-        Yes, it rained like hell, and victory tasted so sweet.  I’ve never stood in such a rain before for so long.  This was the type of rain you laugh at people through your window at work because they are stuck outside in it.

-        Yes, we got dinner at Rocco’s Friday and CJ’s Saturday (no better combination can be devised, period)

-        Yes, oyster bar is exactly the same except they actually got us a hookah this time.

-        Yes, Finnie’s is still oppressively hot and humid, but Red Bull and Vodka still flows like the Mighty Mississippi.  And Yes, I burned that dance floor down with my moves.

-        Yes, I learned that “Street Pizza” is the coolest guy you will ever meet, and that “Deeanna” is awesome ‘cause she dances while sober.

-        Yes the 10 hour drive home in silence yesterday on 3 hours of sleep was painful.

-        No I don’t have season tickets, but am a thug (and the son of a Monogram member)

-        Yes, I would do it all over again.

FREEZE CANDIDATE FREEZE!!!!

It's official gentlemen. Officer Candidate School will start for me on 9 November and then flight school beginning of next year where I will be doing my best impression of these guys...



And with this I will be concluding my time in 'the OC' and with my head-case roommate who I haven't even seen since I was given the 30-days notice to vacate [see: coward, spineless]. I will be moving out at the end of the month and working through the middle of October then heading homeward bound before trekking back east. And as much as I have enjoyed her company [sarc] I can't help but equate her to this lovely lady and her charm...


But one must move on...as much as it hurts...

Officer Candidate School:

12 weeks. of this.



and this. [it's okay to laugh, i did]




for eventually achieving this.




I won't elaborate or go into detail about what academically and physically it requires but I imagine that it will be the most demanding thing that I will have chosen to pursue up to this point in my life. Following commissioning, flight training will continue to be equally demanding physically but thankfully without the Drill Instructors. The information required to learn has been equated to drinking from a fire hose, so I got that going for me...

At the moment, as I have described before I will be going in as a Naval Flight Officer. Following flight school and after receiving my gold wings I will enter the fleet as either a weapon systems officer [WSO], an electronic countermeasures officer [ECMO]... gotta love acronyms...

sort of like this


I still hope, and plan, on pursuing Naval Aviator and if given the chance I will try to redesignate. The chance is slim, but it exists, I will have to prove how much of a BAMF I am and not drown on the mile swims. That's at least part of it. But it's not all seriousness and beatings. Aviators have fun too.



I'll leave it there for now...keep it loose you know...we can talk principle, reason, and convictions another time.

I'm going into the Navy. Wow.
