I was about to declare that spirals don't exist in nature but within seconds I noticed a vine spiraling up a potted tree. Spirals do exist, but in the 3rd dimension. I was thinking of spirals in 2D. We see in 2D, which is annoying to me. None of this was what I was wanting to write originally, but it did help me remember.
I think in spirals, when I come back around I'm a little farther from where I started. Thought threads are fleeting though. I can't even remember what the particular spiral I had in mind was.
So, my current loops of bullshit;
1. I need to care again. (this covers lots of littler issues)
2. My Mother's death (oh my dollars is this a lot of issues)
3. My lack of house and transportation (FTN)
4. My morality (this is just too much)
Where I am: So I decide that once I learned enough about the Vikings, I no longer felt the guilt I've felt for years for not telling my 12th grade British Literature class all I knew about the Vikings when the teacher put me on the spot. It always pissed me off that I didn't talk about their conwquests of America, and Russia, and trade with Constantinople and their written language. Now that I have learned much more, I see that even then I was not too qualified to teach about them at any length. I figured the same logic would help me to regain my control on the General Vallejo situation. That being I have read conflicting sources siting both Vallejo, and John Sutter as having had an army that wore Russian uniforms and took orders in German. It pissed me off that I could know so much, and then be unsure of something so grand. So I thought I'd go to a library. Then I remembered that I wasted years of my youth at libraries instead of socializing. This made me feel guilty for even wanting to read more. So I thought about going to a gun store. Why now? I can't buy one yet, I should take care of important things first. This issue was dropped when the phone book revealed that gun stores aren't open on Sundays. Are Libraries open on Sundays?
I thought about going dowtown to drink and socialize, once again though it's Sunday. I didn't want to go back to the ship. I had nothing else to do, I felt shame for liking to read, so I thought about this spiraling search in my mind for something productive to do on this Sunday. This led me to want to write about spirals. As you may imagine, Fashion Valley Mall is devoid of blank paper. I saw a Hallmark store and checked it out. Cards are almost stationary, but in there I thought about the nature of Hallmark cards. There are in a sense; For those who can't write on their own. Hallmark hates creative people, because creative people don't need Hallmark. They would then logically despise blank paper, for it takes creativity to make that paper valuable.
I then went to Border's Book Store. No paper there. Not a bit. I was mad at this, but had to conclude; For the common man, there is no direct correlation between reading and writing.
Fashion Valley Mall isn't about thought. Fashion is anti-thought, if it's "fashionable" then you didn't choose it, you didn't make it, it isn't creative. I also noticed it's mostly girls there, but they came to shop, or if they came to socialize too, I wouldn't know it, becuase I'm kinda pissed at sex right now. We aren't on speaking terms.
So all I have left to do is go back to the ship. I start walking, cause the trolley was packed, and I didn't want to call a Taxi. Eventually I end up at another Border's I see a beautiful woman in there and as soon as she looks at me, I know we won't be making-up any time soon. I find a book that is all about mid 1800s California with a lot of Vallejo shit in it. I get all excited and buy it. I'm a nerd. Fuck it.

Time
I went ice skating yesterday. I'm still sore and wobbly. I push it to the limit! Though some fucks through my book onto the ground, and the ground was all wet so my Ayn Rand was damaged. I think its awe ing to think about the world the way it really is. That most human minds are kept in bondage. Bondage by all the bullshit philosophies.
You know why Hotmail sucks? Because MSN bought it (this was a while ago), and fucking threw it in their big bag of shit they own. Why do I have to write "@hotmail.com" when I'm already there? Why do I have 120 emails in my inbox, and nothing worth opening? Because fuck Hotmail.
You know why sports suck? Because the players get paid millions to kind of go at each other. The rules just keep getting pussyier and pussyier. You'd think in this supply and demand World I could see a guy get injured for life making $23000 a year.
Out of time
That's why the Navy sucks.

Thanksgiving Post
They wouldn't let me in because I wore Vans! That's all I got. Truthfully though I'm like 15 people. Eminem is the epitome of today's society, but it would take me sooo long to explain why.
So I've spent the last 3 nights sleeping next to a beautiful intelligent relatively successful woman who won't even talk to me. Seriously, I suck. There's nothing more to it. I just put everything into everyone. Her not having any interest in me just tells me I need to fucking stop existing. I don't even know her. It has nothing to do with that. I don't even want to know her. I, Oh fuck this subject.
I'll just say this. I keep hoping that if I die, then maybe someone would read some of my blog posts at my funeral. I'm sure that when I die it will be pathetic and half assed. The tears will be real. They'll take my money and forget me.
I still have nightmares. I've been having nightmares every night for months now. I'm sure it has to do with my dead mother. She's in about a third of them. My dead Grandpa comes along sometimes too. They're always alive in my dreams. It's always a time that never existed. It's like I'm dreaming that they are alive now, and I am not in the Navy. She deserves a dedicated post. I think she was murdered. It's too late to prove it. I haven't told anyone this. But there are very good reasons for me thinking so.
In INDOC they described the side effects of stress. I noticed I have all of them except when there's a choice, like eats too little vs. too much. Most of these started a few months ago. This year has really sucked.
I'm 24. I'm old. Not really, but functionally. I am late.
I am very not normal/ Then people say, there is no normal. Yes there is. I'm not it. You might think you're not normal, but you probably are. Normal is good. Sometimes people are better than normal. That isn't me. I have zero female friends. I mean there's Hailey who bless her heart has never met me, and the YN that's all smiles but has never done anything social with me, but they can't count. I have never had a girlfriend. If you read my posts you might want to know why I would say this. I just mean i have never had a relationsip with a woman (ehem 50% of Earth's population) that wasn't purely sexual or purely hands off for more than say a few hours at a time. How can I have any credibility as a human being with this hanging over my head? That is what I call not normal. I can't even pretend to be human.
I'm jealous of Adrian Monk.
SO What did you want Brian? I'm not Fucking God. This has been the worst time of my life, and I'm still young. Ayn Rand only wrote shit like "We The Living" when she was young, that's the most sad depressing shit ever. A girl who watches everything she held be wrentched from existance, then all the good she created came to nothing, and everything she grew to love was destroyed. She tried to create a better life and ended up dead in a forrest in a pool of her own blood mixed in snow. That's happiness for you Brian. Fucking just do what you can. If life had cheat codes it wouldn't be worth it.
I write one happyish post and just smash it to shit. You like that Michael? You want my reality? I haven't heard anything from Alexandra since I left. She's got my email and a fucking computer right next to her.
Joshua, well I imagine you found this post entertaining. I honestly hope you did.
I'm wearing a designer t-shirt from "Affliction". Why is it that when you think "Designer Clothing" it's all rich and powerful sounding, but the standard precept is that homegrown shit is always the cheaper "old style" of doing things. In the food world the designer equivalent would be a "Mom and Pop" establishment. A place you'd be proud to go on Sunday, and the "non-designer" shit would be McDonalds and Wal-Mart, both of which are chastized for being popular. So its cool to wear the Capitalist pig's clothing, like Levis or Hanes, but not to eat his food like KFC or Waffle House. Designer just means that a real artist, that doesn't suck, made it, versus a coalition or panel of old crotchety fucks and focus groups. Yeah the shirt costs a little more, but the extra dollars are for the personal touch. So go ahead and look down on people who only wear designer clothing, and keep on praising Trader Joe's home town feel you hypocritical fucktards. Not that I only wear designer clothing. I'm a Capitalist for christ's sake. I certainly don't need designer underwear when the ladies never see it.

Leaving Japan
I should follow up the last one since it seems all desperate and gloomy like usual, and something good actually happened. I liked Alexandra, but she always worked and I was in another city. My last night in Japan I got a hotel room in Roppongi. There are very few hotels in Roppongi and people usually book way ahead. I didn't tell her that I got a hotel there just to see her, as opposed to an easier place to sleep like Okachimachi or Shibuya. I may have lied to myself and said I was going to party all night, but those days were done, for now at least. I almost didn't go to see her. It's tough, I don't know how it feels to be wanted by someone that I want, it's usually one way, either I like a woman, or she likes me, or I love a woman, and well. I went to her and we hung out for many hours. We drank the last of their wine that the Argentinian was saving for a special occasion. He said my leaving Japan was a good enough occasion for that.
On her break Alexandra met me at a coffee shop. I tried to explain to her how hard it is for a white guy to walk the streets of Roppongi. Every Nigerian doorman and South East Asian whore wants your money, and they get very personal. I told one Nigerian I had been in Japan 3 years. He replied; "You have been here 3 years, you are just learning to walk and talk. I have been here 13 years, I am already getting laid." Alexandra took me to a photo booth. We took lots of cutesy photos. All the night she kept saying "Don't go!" or "Take me with you." I played with her for saying this since I hadn't so much as kissed her, everytime she said "Don't go." I would ask her why I should stay. She once said; "So you could keep me company." I asked, "So I should stay in Japan, just so I can stand around in your bar and smile at you?" She started mumbling about how much she has to work and I heard her swear for the first time, it was really cute. The next day, my absolute last day in Japan I met her on a corner and we went and had brunch at T.G.I. Friday's. Two hours passed like nothing and I had to get to my plane. I invited her to come to the train station with me. We took a taxi to Tokyo eki. She held my hand the whole way. Alexandra had to get to Akihabara by 1:00 p.m. I was in line to by a ticket to Narita, she had to leave, but she didn't want to. She started hugging then kissing, then hugging, then kissing me. She sounded very sad when we parted. She texted me while I was on the train, and I talked to her when I got to the airport. She kept saying "Don't forget me." Alexandra, how could I forget you? Why did you wait so long to take me up on anything? I asked Alexandra to go places with me in the past but always she had work. Not really apropriate to kiss a bartender in the bar.
What the hell? I don't know. I suppose that was probably the most awesome way to leave a country. If I had done much more with her besides hugging and kissing I probably would be kicking myself right now. Just. Just. Well you know. You all fuck like rabbits. I savor my women. Alexandra, you were the finest. I want to drink from you again.

Instant Late Night Poem
I will make a poem right now;
Alexandra,
te quiero. Pero sera una dia en la futura.
Porque voy ahorra, y dices que quieri decir.
Nande? Ima? porque no en Augusto o Septiembre?
Anata ga hoshi desu. Solamente quiero una dia completa.
You give me your picture and say I should never forget you.
You say you want my picture and you will never forget me.
Demo, estuve tu' quieri, no una pictura.
We speak in 3 languages. When we drink we say; "Salud, Kampai, Cheers!" But I only got to say "hello."
Always and never this is my life. I see the extremes and you are there. I needed to realize it is now and not never. That there is no whole. That what is, is all.
I think I will see you in 3 hours. I think I will see you forever. My Colombian woman. Watashi no Colombiajin Onnanahito, mi colombiana.

Not Much
So I was trying to get money out of the ATM but it rejected me. Thats happened before and its usually the ATMs fault. I switch the majority of my dollars to Yen instead and I go to Yokohama with Tony. We eat at a nice Italian restaurant. When I go to pay I try to use my card but its rejected. I had to use nearly all my money to pay the bill. So Now I got just enough for a train ride back to Yokosuka and probably enough to cover the internet cafe Im using right now. The thing is, Washington Mutual has fucked me before, in fact, so well did they fuck me that I keep my account number with me at all times. I call them and they say they had switched to Master Card so my Visa check card has been cancelled. I told the lady that I was in Japan, that I had no money, and the damn Master Card is going to arrive at my Dads house in California. She puts me on hold, I knew going in I only had about 400 Yen on my phone, while on hold my phone says, "1 minute left" Then she comes back on, "Mr. Wise, thank you for waiting" I say "ok" and then she says "Heres what I can do BOOP BOOP BOOP (Thats the sound of the end of my prepayed call)" Im sure that she thinks I hung up on her. That would be terribly douchey of me, thatd be retarded anyway considering she was about to hook me up somehow. Anyway I cant call her back, I have no money for another pre-payed card. BUUUTT Heres where I come in and save my own ass from all this bullshit. You see, like I said, I have been fucked before, so the last time this happened, I made sure that I wouldnt completely rely on one card to access that account. Waiting for me at my house in Yoko is a new and never used ATM card thats been sitting in my room for months waiting for this day. Still theyre bitches. Just cause Im not completely fucked still doesnt change that. Cancel my fucking card cause they like Master Card, you know what I like Bank of America. Fuck you Washington Mutual!

7 Minutes
I will stop at 1035.
I am now resurfacing oh I wish. As the time counts down and the problems remain the tension builds. I am not quite feeling it intensely enough, I only think about it almost all day. There is too much. In this week I will have received a medal higher than any medal I've ever received and I'll probably get the Warfare qualification they've been torturing me to get. None of it makes me happy. I'm numb to any kind of positive aspects. I'm completely on the defensive now. Now is the time. I hold my shield close and I run in swinging. Those strong enough to not get cut down by me will stay close. Those I fell will never know. I will die, or my enemies will. I am an extremeist I know.
waiting waiting acting failing. Only NOW? I get close now? No. This is bullshit. Where am I going? She haunts me. It's like she knows and is hovering like a vulture. Waiting for me to pass. FUCK YOU MEGAN. YOU HAVE ALREADY FORGOTTEN ME. YOU WILL NEVER REMEMBER WHAT I MEANT TO YOU. WHAT YOU FELT. I have to. It's all I have. You can block it out. Your life is easy like that. You so happily kill everything that was good. Fuck my time's up/

My Mother's Funeral
I cried uncontrollably for about 20 or thirty minutes after reading a message from my sister that my Mother had died. The people on the ship were great about getting me on emergency leave. I flew into Oakland, got picked up by my Father and had him take me to my sister in South San Francisco. I went into the living room of a house I used to live in and hugged her awake. I then had her ride with me. We ate lunch at Bay Pastry, a Dim Sum restaurant in San Francisco we'd always go to after school, then went back to Stockton.
I rented a car that day with my Grandma, I don't really need her anymore to get the car, but she's always gone with me to get one.
I wore my uniform to my Mother's funeral. It was in the Castro district of San Francisco. That's the gay center of San Francisco if you didn't know. I only got one "Hey Sailor" which was enough. At her funeral I got trapped looking at her. I hadn't seen her in so long, and in the days prior I had avoided thinking about it. Looking at my dead Mom I couldn't hold myself together. My sister came up and hugged me and I talked to her up there for about ten minutes. I met a lot of people I didn't know, and some I hadn't seen in a long time. There I met a very aware and interesting little girl, my youngest cousin, Tara Dillon. I so wanted to spend more time with them all. I am very glad that I am going back in October.
When I was at my Uncle's I got to ride his $5000 road bike. I took a path along the American River all the way up to Folsom Prison. On the way I passed up some old guy, he managed to catch up with me later. Rather than face humiliation I turned off onto a foot bridge that leads into Folsom City. He followed me, but I had stopped on the bridge. He stopped too. I noticed some really cool rocks in the river, so I went down to see them. My Uncle John had told me to keep the bike close to me no matter what, so I carried it on my back down the rocky bank. It was about 20 feet down. I was wearing those bicycle shoes that lock into the pedals and they have no tread. I made it to the bottom and walked out onto the rocks. They were boulder sized and flowed into the river. I was able to stand on one that was surrounded by water that was at least ten feet deep. They were very slippery from the algae. The water was freezing my barefeet. I only had to take two steps to get back to the bank and I managed to slip on the second one. I didn't get too wet, or ruin my 4th iPod. Then I went back in the other direction so that old bastard wasn't on my trail. There were nothing but old people out biking then, my Unlce pointed out that its probably because the time of day I was out there most people have jobs.
Michael and his wife: I left Carmichael, slept at my Dad's house, then went to see Michael when I woke up. I was kinda late in leaving so I was going a good 90 MPH when I got pulled over. Somewhere halfway down the San Joaquin Valley I got a ticket, my first ever! Michael and his wife, mmmhmm, ok I think its cute that they are physically incapable of not making out every 3 to 5 minutes. BUUUUT I don't need to be there. Michael and I went to the Charger's Stadium where they were setting up for the Street Scene concert. we walked right in, me in my fine atire, to look for three people spending time in a porta-potty trying to get tickets to the concert. I couldn't even remember what radio station was doing it, and there were way too many porta-pottys. So days earlier I had only one shirt, a shirt I got in Guam. I bought another at Ross in Stockton. It was a little too small for me, but it was cool, a ratty old brown "Red Stripe" beer shirt that read "Stubby and proud of it" I wore that for about 5 days striaght, including while at my Unlce's so I took advantage of Mission Valley shopping and went to all the malls I went to back in '04 during the brief period I was stationed there. I bought some really fine clothing. I was a total pimp with a bad ass hat. I tried to tell them. We went to dinner and the "seating" girl said she really liked my hat. Michael's wife Allison said she was just being nice, and that my response to the girl, "Hell yeah!", was inapropriate. I told her she was wrong. That she can get as preachy as she wants but I wasn't the one getting all drunk and high when I was 15. That's cause I am a fucking douche, and I say those things to my best friend's wifes. Perhaps I didn't say it so harshly but when we were leaving and the "seating" girl once again said how awesome my hat was, I rubbed in Allison's face for a good twenty minutes. She's a great person by the way. If anything goes wrong with their relationship, I'm going to blame Michael. I think about how cool Allison is, and I pretty much lose all hope of ever having a good relationship. I certainly don't deserve a woman like that.
Winding down. There is so much unresolved. My Mother's boyfriend is all fucked up. My sister is all fucked up on her own. We have to deal with a house, some insurance, and a business. I left all that. I came back to Japan. Now I have unresolved issues in two countries.
I don't know what the hell is going on right now. I am seriously engulfed in something. Hearing Caitlin say "Columbian Woman", watching Michael and his life. Seeing my sister fighting, clinging to what isn't. My life. Jesus. What have I done?

There I met a very aware and interesting little girl, my youngest cousin, Tara Dillon. I so wanted to spend more time with them all. I am very glad that I am going back in October.
When I was at my Uncle's I got to ride his $5000 road bike. I took a path along the American River all the way up to Folsom Prison. On the way I passed up some old guy, he managed to catch up with me later. Rather than face humiliation I turned off onto a foot bridge that leads into Folsom City. He followed me, but I had stopped on the bridge. He stopped too. I noticed some really cool rocks in the river, so I went down to see them. My Uncle John had told me to keep the bike close to me no matter what, so I carried it on my back down the rocky bank. It was about 20 feet down. I was wearing those bicycle shoes that lock into the pedals and they have no tread. I made it to the bottom and walked out onto the rocks. They were boulder sized and flowed into the river. I was able to stand on one that was surrounded by water that was at least ten feet deep. They were very slippery from the algae. The water was freezing my barefeet. I only had to take two steps to get back to the bank and I managed to slip on the second one. I didn't get too wet, or ruin my 4th iPod. Then I went back in the other direction so that old bastard wasn't on my trail. There were nothing but old people out biking then, my Unlce pointed out that its probably because the time of day I was out there most people have jobs.
Michael and his wife: I left Carmichael, slept at my Dad's house, then went to see Michael when I woke up. I was kinda late in leaving so I was going a good 90 MPH when I got pulled over. Somewhere halfway down the San Joaquin Valley I got a ticket, my first ever! Michael and his wife, mmmhmm, ok I think its cute that they are physically incapable of not making out every 3 to 5 minutes. BUUUUT I don't need to be there. Michael and I went to the Charger's Stadium where they were setting up for the Street Scene concert. we walked right in, me in my fine atire, to look for three people spending time in a porta-potty trying to get tickets to the concert. I couldn't even remember what radio station was doing it, and there were way too many porta-pottys. So days earlier I had only one shirt, a shirt I got in Guam. I bought another at Ross in Stockton. It was a little too small for me, but it was cool, a ratty old brown "Red Stripe" beer shirt that read "Stubby and proud of it" I wore that for about 5 days striaght, including while at my Unlce's so I took advantage of Mission Valley shopping and went to all the malls I went to back in '04 during the brief period I was stationed there. I bought some really fine clothing. I was a total pimp with a bad ass hat. I tried to tell them. We went to dinner and the "seating" girl said she really liked my hat. Michael's wife Allison said she was just being nice, and that my response to the girl, "Hell yeah!", was inapropriate. I told her she was wrong. That she can get as preachy as she wants but I wasn't the one getting all drunk and high when I was 15. That's cause I am a fucking douche, and I say those things to my best friend's wifes. Perhaps I didn't say it so harshly but when we were leaving and the "seating" girl once again said how awesome my hat was, I rubbed in Allison's face for a good twenty minutes. She's a great person by the way. If anything goes wrong with their relationship, I'm going to blame Michael. I think about how cool Allison is, and I pretty much lose all hope of ever having a good relationship. I certainly don't deserve a woman like that.
Winding down. There is so much unresolved. My Mother's boyfriend is all fucked up. My sister is all fucked up on her own. We have to deal with a house, some insurance, and a business. I left all that. I came back to Japan. Now I have unresolved issues in two countries.
I don't know what the hell is going on right now. I am seriously engulfed in something. Hearing Caitlin say "Columbian Woman", watching Michael and his life. Seeing my sister fighting, clinging to what isn't. My life. Jesus. What have I done?

Josho
I told my little cousin my name was Josho, and it is so cute hearing her say it. She made me a trophy for beating her in a paper airplane contest. She took lots of photos with my phone. I fell in love with her instantly. My Aunt and Uncle better watch out I might steal her. Tara's only 7 but she's got a fire inside. My other cousins were really cool too. Caitlin is 17 now, she and Maicy (16) are both all gothy Ashley Simpsony. I completely missed the last 7 years of their lives. They were both fun to hang out with for a couple days. I made salsa, they all loved it. My Aunt Jodie made me a nice lunch of Salmon Salad with olive oil lime juice and almond shavings. Then she told me to start feeding myself, that's when I knew I had reached freeloader status, and I left that night. Tara almost cried so I told her I would try to come back. They all wanted me to stay, I really wanted to stay. I, well. One step at a time.

Worlds
He is running fast. The pains in his calves grow warm and burn. His chest tears at him and his lungs hurt. His throat growls and his mouth is dry. He wasn't ready. These shoes will not do. The muscle is separating and his shins throw him down. He can't breathe hard enough, but he wants to scream. He falls to his knees and the rocks cut him. The air is dry and the dust enters the wounds. The tears streaming down his face push dirt, and mud falls to the earth. Nothing. He was eating, and all is consumed. He watched the fire melt his children. He saw his wife beaten and raped and then shot. The bloody mud dripping from his wrists are welcomed by the weeds beneath him. There is nothing ahead. There is nothing behind. This Earth that breathed him life will drain it away. He stands and stretches. He's a good runner; he's three miles from where he started. He's in no hurry now. He just needed a chance to think. He's thought. Now he must act.
There is a man putting up a road block. He is not worried; all the fighting is two miles away. The air is cooling to his skin and he's thinking about a girl he saw yesterday. His truck has no armor or weapons. He is not here to fight. His AK-47 is on the passenger seat, it's not even loaded. His righteousness gives him strength. His God demands he sacrifice. He wonders, 'If death be glory, then how can strength be a gift? Perhaps strength of soul at cost of body, that makes sense. Glory for my' The man stops thinking as pieces of his skull, blood, and hair arc towards the pavement as a crescent motion repeats upon his head, a fist holding a stone. He falls into a pile of himself, gloriously. The man gets into the truck and loads the AK. He drives into town.
Two children hide under their bed. They make no noise. One pulls at her hair, the pain she feels distracts her. The boy is focused on the legs. The four legs at the end of the bed, the two feet facing him, the boots they wear, worn and torn. The pants, the belt, the buckle that shakes and swings, clinking, clinking. He could grab that belt, maybe no one would notice, the five people in that room. Maybe no one would hear over the creaking of the bed, the screams of his mother.
They let her scream, they like it. The man at the door is waiting, his world is that room, that bed, that woman. The woman is waiting, her world is beneath her. The children have no world, the boy is making one. His arms extended, he leans on his sister, she is warm and soft, and he has held her before. He is pulling on the belt and holding the pants in place. The kid whose belt is being removed is not in that room. He's home with his girlfriend, she is on this bed and she is moaning. There is no one behind him, and there is no one at his feet avoiding the boots that are worn.
The man in the truck drives slowly, anyone can drive fast but a man with nothing to fear. How can anyone possibly not fear the force upon this city, unless they are the force? Explosions in the distance, waves of smoke, fires, and bullets. He hears the screams. He stops the truck and gets out. The man enters the house, his barrel before him. At the doorway to that room he sees a man whose world he's beside. The man decides to be quiet, and despite all desires to fill the doorman with all his gun's worth, the doorman's head is introduced to the stock of an AK-47. As the doorman's world goes dark and shrinks, the kid without a belt enters the room. He finds his right hand holding a pistol to a woman's head; he quickly makes orphans and turns the pistol towards the 'dispeller of road-blockers and doormen'. The man whose world is all-encompassing moves away and waits. The small caliber of that pistol couldn't shoot through a wall. The kid whose penis had just left a dying woman he's never met is startled by her last attempts at breath. He fires on her twice. One bullet hits her in the chest, the other, small though it may be in caliber, easily passes through the thin mattress. The kid turns his gun towards the doorway and tries to move away from the bed, his left leg goes nowhere and guides the rest of his body towards the floor. The boy hadn't time to tie off the belt and it slips from his hands. His world was briefly a strap of leather and a leg with a worn boot. It was not the belt that tripped this leg. This leg, whose owner wore pants at his ankles. The boy's world was consumed. What did he think was going to happen? He had to do something, but how would that have helped? Now the owner of the legs that had faced him with worn boots could turn his attention to him, to his sister. His sister whose warmth was dispersing, the warmth of her now underneath the boy, in her blood. The girl is dead and this boy has nothing.
The man had focused on that gunfire and the thud, he re-entered the doorway, his AK pointed where the kid should have been. The kid's gun was pointed where the man shouldn't be, and he fires, he fires, and he fires. The man whose world had been all-encompassing now focuses all of himself, all that he is capable of doing, and fires into the kid. The kid is killed instantly. The man falls to his knees again. Even more blood and dirt drips to the floor. The boy emerges from under the bed, covered in the warmth his sister had given him. He walks towards the man. The man looks on this boy and remembers his own son. The man thinks perhaps if he had not entered this room, they would all be alive and before the guilt can develop, and swirl, and consume his stomach, a bullet from an increasingly conscious doorman ends all his worlds. The boy charges the doorman and is cut down. Blood from his chest, from his sister finds its way across the room, across the bed, across the exposed skin of his mother. The doorman rises, dripping in the blood and sweat of all but two in this room. He walks towards the bed and pulls out the girl from underneath. She was beautiful. He lays her body next to her mother, removes his pants, and fucks her lifeless body.

Israel
Sparing the pages of argument I have simply supporting Israel's right to exist. I'll just jump to the issue at hand. Israel doesn't take shit from anyone. Though in this particular instance I don't think they are taking the right course. The funny thing is, nobody will read this, but I have a solution. That's what I'm good at, solutions that no one wants to hear.
Here is the flow;
1. Israel is surrounded by Muslim nations
2. Being a Jewish state makes Israel a constant target.
3. Israel has fought and defeated every nation surrounding it at some point, and subsequently occupied portions of them. They still occupy a portion of Syria.
This then is not a small conflict but a great potential for total war. So then, what is Israel's solution? Bomb the shit out of the only democratic country it borders.
Israel should fight, but so should Lebanon. Lebanon supposedly isn't strong enough to destroy Hizbollah. They are portrayed as innocent, and I'm inclined to agree. Their government has Christians, Jews, and Muslims in elected positions. I can't imagine there is any other middle Eastern nation that can say that, maybe no other nation on Earth. Lebanon should kick out Hizbollah. Here's where I should get my own nation and a peace prize, here's an idea; Israel should give aid to Lebanon. Like we aid Israel. Israel should give them money and weapons, and together they should drive out Hizbollah. Hizbollah having been formed in Lebanon soley as a reaction to Israel's invasion years ago, and existing solely to destroy Israel is kind of a huge bump in the road to any kind of peace. Just imagine it, Israel and Lebanon driving out Hizbollah, the Syrians would have no grounds to occupy Lebanon again, and Iran would have to shut up. Nobody but Hizbollah wants this fight, I think they should feel it.
On the other hand, Israel could play their Hulk-Smash tactics all the way into Syria, since it is Syria supporting Hizbollah, then Iran would join Syria against Israel, and since everybody is pissed at Iran right now, and it is one of Bush's axis of evil countries, I'm sure the U.S. and Britian would join. At this point Lebanon's support might not mean anything. We already have Afghanistan and Iraq consumed in war, what's wrong with engulfing the rest of the Middle East? sounds crazy? This has happened before, again and again. Where will it stop? Who knows, but the logical conclusion to the tactics employed now is that the only end is when everyone able to fight is dead. Israel makes enemies like Columbains make coffee. Every time they roll their tanks into Gaza and level school houses you get another fucking generation of suicide bombers.
Iran could very easily join this fight. To their left is American Iraq, to their right is American Afghanistan. If Syria is attacked by Israel, Israel will win. They are already on the brink with their nuke issues, self preservation comes into mind, and nobody in this area of the world seems to think negotiations, or a ceasing of attacks on other people are viable options for improving relations. Hiabollah says it just wants to trade. Ha! The only reason they have their people imprisoned is because of previous conflicts. Their only solution to conflict, is more conflict. What is needed is a bit of fucking morality.
Come on Jews. Come on. Why do you even bother to exist? I thought you were different. One of the most influential people in my life was Dr. Laura, she's Jewish. I had a precept that followers of the Jewish faith would be somewhat moral. What the fuck is this shit? STOP KILLING EVERYBODY. IF I WERE IN GAZA, OR LEBANON, OR SYRIA, OR EGYPT, AND I HAD TO WATCH YOU RUIN MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE OVER A BORDER DISPUTE OR A TOLL BOOTH, I'D FUCKING SUICIDE BOMB YOU TOO. AN EYE FOR AN EYE MOTHERFUCKERS, ITS IN ALL THE BIBLES.
America made an investment in Israel. We wanted a free state, so we payed for it. Israel, being the recipient of this money and these weapons, might realize that this is a good way to get peace. Give Lebanon aid. Give them guns, give them money. It is an investment, it is morally right. Just do this one thing. If Lebanon turns the guns on you, then by all means, turn the whole country into a glass parking lot. Don't just come out swinging. It is wrong in the eyes of God. I don't even believe in God and I know this. I am an Objectivist. My moral code is based on treating every individual with the respect an individual deserves. This always mandates not punishing the masses for the crimes of the few. Since I believe it is morally justified to kill off the Hizbollah, but not regular type Lebanese, one would need Lebanese support. Just think of it like Israel hiring Lebanon to get rid of Hizbollah.
Well, that's all I got right now, its 4:54 am so I'm not perfectly fluent.

Rebel
The things I write here are not read by many. I want to write for a living. Somehow. I also write posts about the military on the government's Secret internet. Even people who know about and use the Secret internet don't believe me or comprehend, so I won't try here, just to say the government thought it would be cool if there were secret blogs. I thought it was cool too. I can read about people from every branch of the government doing anything and everything all over the world, first hand accounts. So I write about stuff, and lots of people read it. I get lots of positives. I was able to communicate with experts in the fields I was discussing. Only problem is that it's a government blog, so no personal stuff. Nothing but business. Anyway. I just wish I had more readers. Maybe when I actually pick a field and stick to it, and appeal to the desires, or more Objectivistly, pick a field, and let them come. That rant over.
What I wanted to rant about on the secret net was about ESWS. This is a qualification that sailors can recieve on ships. This used to be an honor. Sailors would work hard and prove themselves worthy of the title, worthy of the pin. Now commands desperate to look better than other commands. Departments and Divisions desperate to stand out within commands have ruined the value of the ESWS qualification. They threaten sailors to get it. They punish sailors who don't. They make it easier for people to help them get the title. This is anti-Objectivist. Flat out, if I were Christian, this would be like asking me to bow down to Satan. So I am being punished, alot. I am being threatened even more. ESWS is an abomination, and an embarrassment. I would feel ashamed to get this meaningless, fallen, piece of metal. Yet now I am compelled. I am not allowed off the ship until 7:30 PM every one of the few days I'm inport, except the weekend. I have been ordered to get this qualification by July 15, or they will send me to Captain's Mast. If that happens, I could lose my rank, with it the pay, and the ability to live off the ship, and they could cancel my orders to San Diego. Basically, if I don't get ESWS in the next month, they will ruin my career, and take from me everything I have worked for in the last three years.
What to do? So I will give it a shot. I'll get it, because I have been ordered to, and I knew going in that I was being paid to follow orders. I won't stop my campaign against ESWS, but I'll end up wearing the mark of shame while doing it.

Entertaining International Women
The first night I danced with two groups of filipino girls. Then I went to McDonald's and met a Colombian woman. I talked to her for about 20 minutes in Spanish. From it I learned three new Spanish words, baracho (drunk) inebrio (inebriated or as she said, "A pretty way to say drunk" Except that she said that last quote in Spanish) pelegroso (careful). She gave me her business card and had to go back to work. I went to a pub and made fun of this Irish girl, and her Limey friend. I made fun of the Limey, because she was a Limey, and I made fun of the Irish girl, for having a Limey friend. Then I went back to Wall Street. The first girl I saw in there grabbed me and started feeling me up.
"I like your stomach" she said. "I want to lick it."
"That's cool, go right ahead." I replied. Then she stuck her hand down my pants and grabbed my penis. I was a little shocked. "Where are you from?"
"Malaysia." I left. I ended up at Gas Panic. Gas Panic always has a majority of Japanese people (Nihonjin). The waiters and waitresses are always assholes. I danced with a few Nihonjin girls. A group of French women came in and one stayed. I hunted her down, and danced with her for a couple hours. I was kissing her and rubbing her right. She wouldn't shut up about how the girls were dancing on the bar. Then she decided I had to battle for the privilege of dancing with her. She put me up against a Nihonjin guy and we took turns grinding on her. I made a sweet move when I managed to dance with her, and massage her at the same time. That Nihonjin bastard stole my flavor and tried to kick it up a notch. My next turn I decided to stop fucking around. I rubbed her all over, including her, well everywhere, you know. She wasn't too down with that, and informed me that I lost. A minute later the music stopped and the lights came on, so in your face Nihonjin douche, and French bitch! Some might say I lost more than a dance, but if you think about it, if she wasn't down with being rubbed, she wasn't going home with the winner. I went home and got to sleep around 7:30AM. I was awoken at 2pm by a Mikoshi parade camped in front of my house. International talley, 4 Philipino danced, two said no, 1 was clearly underage, 1 I got really freaky with. 1 French girl danced and kissed and fondled alot, 3 said no. 3 Japanese girls danced, 0 said no (but some were totally oblivious to all guys, fucking lesbains). 1 beautiful Colombian girl spoke slowly so I could understand her, and desire her more. 1 Malaysian chick sexually harassed me (hell yeah, not the first time!)
Saturday night I went to Roppongi again. First girls I saw I heard speaking Spanish, they turned about to be Peruanas (Peruvian girls) I layed down a wall of espanol, but they said I was too young for them, fucking shit, I shave my face and people think I'm a fucking kid. I know they make a big deal about me being 23, maybe I should just lie. I had about lost hope with the place when my hand caught the hip of a cute Nihonjin girl. I immediately struck like a viper and had two girls, one for each hip rubbing hand. The other girl was half Japanese, and half Philipino. She spoke English fluently. The Nihonjin guys that were with these girls bought me a drink. I danced with the girls while trying to talk to these guys. They turned out to be Japanese soldiers. I kept trying to tell them I was Navy, but they kept saying "Ranger?" So I gave up and let them think I was special forces. After a while I picked up another Japanese girl and she danced and grinded and got all kinds of dirty. She kept parading me around and telling everyone she knew that I was her man. Then she asked if I would get her some chapagne. I said sure and she frenched me. Then I saw what she wanted, a $400 bottle of alcohol. I told her no way. She blew me off after that, and I left. I ran about a mile around Roppongi to sober up a bit, I have never felt so good running in my life.
When did it become ok for girls outside of California to say "like" profusely? If a girl says "like" all the time, and she isn't from California, she's a bitch. If she is from California, she's probably a bitch, but who knows. As soon as I stopped running I saw the bar/grill the Columbian girl worked at. I went in and had some mixed drink with Tequila and Grenadine, and something else. She smiled alot but wasn't hangning out much, I think I'll email her, but I don't think she's too interested in me. That's the sweet part about an email. I can disect it, no b.s., no interference. Then ended up in a bad position trying to sober up after 3 or so shitty clubs, I just watched other people.
I noticed all the white girls were bitches, including these two models who were from California and Tennesse. They kept leaving and coming back. Why do white bitches even show up? They always hide in a corner, or at the bar. If they don't want to get with guys, they came to EXACTLY THE WORST PLACE ON EARTH. Roppongi is all about hooking up for a while, that's it. There are thousands of bar in Tokyo, only one Roppongi, stupid white bitches. I can understand if they are just being picky, but I have yet to see one single white chick from any country get with any guy that didn't come in with her, (Then Joshua remembers the French chick from the night before, and declares her a scientific oddity.)
Anyway some dude kept trying to drag a girl out of the bar and when the guy she was with was kicked out for being too drunk, she was alone. So I followed her out and made sure that fuck didn't drag her off into any alleys. Then I was offered about 4000 massages and I offered a masaji girl a massage for 2000 Yen. I decided to wait till I was completely sober so I wouldn't pass out on the train. I killed the time by writing this right now. Perfect timing, one hour for 400 Yen, the hour is up in two minutes.
Night two talley, Shot down by 2 Peruanas, even though estuvi el solo persana alli que habla espanol, chinga sus madres. 3 Nihonjin girls, including much loving, 0 nihonjin shot me down, but that one bitch, I saw her later, she tried to get me to go into a club with her, I told her it was fucked up that she blew me off for Champagne, I'm a sailor, I don't get paid. So I told her to fuck off. 1 Colombian woman didn't give me enough love. Lots of white girls ignored me and every other guy. Fuck white girls. Now I'm not looking forward to California anymore, you all suck. All in all, I got more love, love, loving from all those women of 8 or so countries than that filthy lying, oh, I won't finish that sentence. Fuck America. That's better. Solo un poco baracho ahorra. Fue como una idiota y empezo una hora mas. No tengo mas cosas hacer en el interneto. Ahorra necesito pagar para dos horas. ahh, pero esta bien, esta bien. Solo yo necisito usar el bano mucho pero no quiero levantar, No se el espanol, pero en ingles es "ironic" o estupido, no seguro.
"I like your stomach" she said. "I want to lick it."
"That's cool, go right ahead." I replied. Then she stuck her hand down my pants and grabbed my penis. I was a little shocked. "Where are you from?"
"Malaysia." I left. I ended up at Gas Panic. Gas Panic always has a majority of Japanese people (Nihonjin). The waiters and waitresses are always assholes. I danced with a few Nihonjin girls. A group of French women came in and one stayed. I hunted her down, and danced with her for a couple hours. I was kissing her and rubbing her right. She wouldn't shut up about how the girls were dancing on the bar. Then she decided I had to battle for the privilege of dancing with her. She put me up against a Nihonjin guy and we took turns grinding on her. I made a sweet move when I managed to dance with her, and massage her at the same time. That Nihonjin bastard stole my flavor and tried to kick it up a notch. My next turn I decided to stop fucking around. I rubbed her all over, including her, well everywhere, you know. She wasn't too down with that, and informed me that I lost. A minute later the music stopped and the lights came on, so in your face Nihonjin douche, and French bitch! Some might say I lost more than a dance, but if you think about it, if she wasn't down with being rubbed, she wasn't going home with the winner. I went home and got to sleep around 7:30AM. I was awoken at 2pm by a Mikoshi parade camped in front of my house. International talley, 4 Philipino danced, two said no, 1 was clearly underage, 1 I got really freaky with. 1 French girl danced and kissed and fondled alot, 3 said no. 3 Japanese girls danced, 0 said no (but some were totally oblivious to all guys, fucking lesbains). 1 beautiful Colombian girl spoke slowly so I could understand her, and desire her more. 1 Malaysian chick sexually harassed me (hell yeah, not the first time!)
Saturday night I went to Roppongi again.

Josho vs. Rum
Perception. Your eyes lie to you. How's that for a begining? Rationality has to be founded on one's perception, but what we perceive isn't exactly right to begin with. It's the butterfly effect and the stampede is me at a picnic seeing Ian alone and quiet. It's seeing her. When I see her I don't see a person, I see issues. I see an unresolvable conflict. These perceptions. So Sean show me a nice way to enjoy rum with Sprite. I had about 4 glasses, then decided I wasn't nearly drunk enough. So I slammed the bottle, literaly I chiped a tooth doing it. I just kept drinking it. I drank it like water. I drank it empty. I hoped it would kill me. I still wasn't drunk enough because it hadn't hit me yet. I hoped I'd at least pass out. I grabbed a beer and drank that too. Then I played some Weezer and did the dishes. I went to bed around 9:30. At some point in the night I found myself opening the door to my other bedroom. I don't know why or how I was there. Sean asks me if I'm ok, I say I'm really drunk, he says "Yeah I saw wht you did to that bottle." I go back to bed, and notice two huge piles of vomit on my bed. I sleep until 5:30 a.m. and get up for duty. I'm still drunk, I tell Sean about it. I shave drunk, I clean up the vomit, mostly. I notice at some point in the night I had gone downstairs grabbed my iPod and took it back to my room and recharged it. Aparantly I'm a very productive drunk. I tell Sean not to go into my room, he says that the only time he'd ever been in there was the night before to make sure I wouldn't choke on my own vomit in my sleep. I tell him I don't care if he goes in my room, but it's mass casualty in there.
I drunk bike to the base. At the main gate I get paranoid, I stop ten feet from the gaurd and try to get my ID card out of my pocket. I look at him, and I'm sure he knows. He says, "You dropped your money." I loudly say;
"Yeah it's just a Yen." I reach down and pick it up. I think he knows now for sure, because I should have said 'one Yen' not 'a Yen' or maybe 'a Yenny' if I were hip. I go through and drunk bike to my boat. I see the gate gaurds and I'm sure they know, but we don't talk. I get to the ship and I'm sure the OOD knows, but he says nothing. I drunk iron my uniform, because I had remembered to bring it. Then I go to muster, and afterwards I sleep most of the day. I have a dream that two guys, Misty Stokes, and I are burglars (only two of you could possibly know who she is, to you I say, I haven't a clue why, I never dreamed about her before).
It was more than 15 hours before I started feeling sober again, more than 24 before I stopped feeling sick. The whole time I was drinking I was thinking about Sasebo, Kagoshima, Hong Kong, her. I thoroughly distorted my perception, just for a momentary release from this hold on my soul.

Steal the show, and don't follow through
I went with Ian to Sakuragicho, the McDonald's was located at the end of one of the most beautiful night time walkways I have ever seen. You walk along a wooden bridge over a lake surrounded by life. The tallest building, the ferris wheel, the masted ship, lights and buildings, and music and dancing until you reach an impressive mall. This was the second McDonald's I've been to in Yokohama that had unique and amazing architecture. The other one is on the other side by "Jack" Mall. The girl we had quested for was learning the register. I got a Teriyaki McBurger and a Coke. She wasn't "hot" as Ian had said, I don't think. She looked 14. I'm not really down with that. I know she was 19, but numbers aren't so important to me. Ian says nothing, I say nothing. We sit and eat. Next to us are 4 really cute obviously rebelious America loving high school girls. 3 of them had their hair bleached to as blond as black can get. Two had extensive peircings. They were all dressed in what American's would call "punk" not the dark Goth style, but the frayed anti color coordination style. Seeing as how neither Ian nor I were to talk to this girl we had quested for, I chose to shamelessly hit on these girls.
I didn't have to do much. My skin color gave me instant celebrity status with these girls, and with Ian's help, I actually managed to understand them a bit. They all used fake American names, Lisa was really Mari, Michelle had some incomprehensibly hard to pronounce name. Anyway, it is always nice to have 4 hot high school girls paying absolute attention to you, and laugh hysterically in joyous exhaltation. I had no intention of a follow through. One of them said she wished she could see me again, I ignored it. Another asked if I would remember their names, I remembered Lisa, and Michelle, then made fun of them, "Ahh, Anata wa Amerikajin desu." ( Ahh, you are Americans) they loved that. It was like when Dave Chapelle did that skit where the blind black guy thought the ghetto white kids were black. Anyway. Every guy I have told this story to told me I should have gotten their numbers, or given mine. Ian made a good point though, if I had met them again, there is really very few legal things I could do with them. I wouldn't understand them, and they wouldn't understand me, so it would break down to me buying them liquer and fucking them, they were like 16, so no thank you. These girls had enough issues, let them be cute American posers without some douchebag American sailor contributing. Though the prospect is intriguing. I must say. So there. I turned down 4 cute Japanese girls in one night. I think that gives me free reign to tell you I am capable of moral conviction. That this isn't a issue of oportunity. These girls wanted to party, it was 9:30 on a Monday, and they wanted an excuse to not go home.
Ohh, hmm. Now if that girl behind the counter were all cute and punked out, I'd have been all over her. 19 is slightly different than 16ish. hmm. You know you're judging me. Judge away.

How I feel
Sliding on my ass at the bottom of a snowy hill, the fun is over, but the ride hasn't stopped. Waking up after 2 hours of sleep, and spending an entire day sitting around. Wasting an entire day playing video games that I've already beaten. Standing watch. Red streaks of silk flash by and a sword enters my stomach, but it is just a dream and I move on and never remember it. I was 4 years old and he hit me in the head with a pipe. I was 12 and I stood in a field, a boy told me she had a crush on me. I have stood on a cliff facing the wrong direction. Sunday morning. Every day of December. After 4 ejaculations, and 5 hours of sexual activity, all the while thinking. Watching a opossum die on the side of a road, only 5 minutes into a two hour bike ride. The rear bumper of my Grandmother's Ford. Greyhound station at anytime of the day except 9:45 pm. Stale Dorritos out of a freshly opened bag. The same t-shirt, 4 days in a row. Never at the beach. Never in the forest. Never on a mountain. Never by a river. Swenson Park, on a weekday. My Mesquite tree. Recess after 5th grade.
I want to apologize to someone I shouldn't forgive. I want to leave someone I should kiss. I sit on a pedastal I made them build, if I stand, I will be higher than them, but I am content. I am so out of sorts, this is truly the closest I can come to speaking about how I feel.

On the 7th Week, Josho Rested
My fan base consists of only two people, the girl I loved, and the boy she loves. How's that for a kick in the nuts? I just set the filter to friends only and neither of them will read this. The girl I loved can't read this anymore, because she is a slutty alcoholic piece of shit, and the Navy recognizes this. The boy she loves is obsessed with me because he is a fucking moron. Here is a song I wrote after having to spend 5 hours with Boozy McDrunk Bitch.
Sunshine and Sparkles
I fell in love, and she fell apart. She's passed out, and I've a broken heart.
My sister sells Meth, my brother's a drunk. My Dad did coke, and my Mom tried to kill me.
Demo, ii desu, daijabu. I have a woman I can do anything to.
My friends are in jail, I quit my job. I'm being blackmailed, and I've become a slob.
Demo, ii desu, daijabu. I have a woman I can do anything to.
6 weeks straight of drunken debauchery. The edge has curved. I have fallen, I have risen, I will come all over my Thai woman.
BeruBot is on TV, he demands I drink more Asahi.
Demo, ii desu, daijabu. I have a woman I can do anything to.

BeeruBot ga hoshi desu
I had almost the perfect day today. I had the 2-7, I got to regale legends of the sea with a man from Saipan. This was fun because he told me he was from Sacramento, then asked me about Saipan. After about 5 minutes of shit talking the dirty little island, he told me where he grew up. So I asked him what "Hafa adai" meant, he said it was "welcome", but I have been pronouncing it wrong. It is supposed to be pronounced like you are saying "Half a day". Then I was free, I gave Tony the Playboy Masion game book so he could get the music. Then I went with Sean to my place and watched Jack Bauer stomp everyone's shit. I left it off where he finally killed the woman who killed his wife. Then I went to Tokyo and made sweet love to my woman. We watched Blade Trinity and I started acting like a vampire, biting her and the such, I thought it was cute. After we were all done, we watched Japan stomp Korea's shit in baseball, just like Japan had rocked China's world a couple days ago. Thats when I saw it... The Asahi BeeruBot. He fucking whips out a cold one, breaks it open and pours a glass. I told Ai that I wanted the BeeruBot. She laughed and asked me why, I dont even drink beer, I told her I could substitute with Coke. I dont understand enough Nihongo to figure out how to get one from the commercial, so I asked Ai, How do I get a BeerBot? This paused her on two fronts, first she didnt know how the word "how" was being used, and second, I had to explain the concept of calling some plastic thing I saw on a commercial a BeeruBot. Yeah good times. I ate some pork and curry for dinner at the Shinagawa eki and I got back to Yoko about 9:30.

Making Out In Japanese
One friday night. Two men. Roppongi. I danced all damn night, I was with the hottest girls and I got shot down 50% the time. It was awesome. Sean went for the slutiest girl in the bar, and had her leaving with him within 15 minutes, but her cock-blocking friend was there and that was shut down. Then the prostitutes came. I had managed to thwart them earlier when we first walked by, by singing to them "Iie keko desu." One of the fine women of the night sang it right back, in such a sweet voice. This time I had to lay down all my Japanese, it worked for me, I was able to confound the woman by being a white guy speaking Nihon go, Sean didn't have a chance, he wanted that sex so much, he didn't fight it when the two women carried him off. I ate what is affectionately referred to as a "Taliban Taco" and then I went back into the club. The absolutely most beautifuul girl gathered up my time, I was with her for at least two hours. We pretty much did everything but fuck on the bar. I was wondering if they were going to kick me out as I felt the soft breasts of this girl as she danced on the bar? Would my hand be slapped away as I made out with her, and her hot friend simultaneously? No, it was "Josh gets whatever he wants night." After I got drunk beyond reason, and spent $450 on various drinks, for various fine ladies, I decided I should go back home. I told the pretty girl I had to leave, so she wrote her number on my hand. As I was telling Sean I needed to go, I saw yet another hot Japanese girl. I could see from the look in her eyes that she needed me. So I told Sean, "I'm gonna be a minute." I started dancing with her, then making out. It couldn't last long though, I was just a little too drunk, so I kissed her goodbye too, and sean and I walked out into the sunlight, it was 6am Saturday morning.

Thai and Women
Something about waking up on a Sunday morning where the only decision to make is whether I get a blow job or vaginal intercourse with the beautiful women next to me, well I just cant have a bad day after that. Hell thats been every Sunday for the past month.
Yes it is good, but it isnt great. I want love. I am the kind of guy who never says `Things could be worse` I say `Things can be better`, and then I figure out how. It sucks because people think you are being negative. That is bullshit, saying things could be worse is a horrible way to look at life. You can always say things could be worse, until the person is dead, then it doesnt matter. I say things can be better until Im floating on a cloud enjoying every second of my life. What the fuck am I even writing this for, ok change up.
I am learning so much. I dont even know what is going on. Its amazing, this life I am living now, yet I see so much I can improve on. Plagued by my own potential. I can be so great. Puff, puff, goes my ego, but what you do not see is that I am filling it with substance. Many people dont care if its just hot air, but I am truly developing myself into an awesome person.
Eh, there are quite a few Thai people here, or maybe there are only a few and I know them all. Mmmm. If I could spell repitoir then I would write, I have decided to expand my myspace repitoir to include hot women who only want sex and are completely self involved, cant get enough of them. Hell if I could find a women as smart as me, no point in trying, shed probably be a total bitch and would just cut my nuts off for making a comment on her myspace. Jesus Christ, should I be allowed outside? One crazy bitch rips my heart and soul to shit and now Im becoming a cynical douche. Well, more so.
I left Ai today feeling a loss. Thats something. I cant get enough of that cool loss feeling. Maybe if my sister isnt dead before October I can go home and try to save her.
I dont really have any issues, just everybody else around me. Somehow when I care about somebody, their shit becomes my shit. I am absofuckinglutely peachy. Well 90% anyway. Crazy girl still owns me on some fields.
It all becomes so simple when you are with someone, or some people that just want to have a good time, no bull. Just dance, drink, screw. Jesus, I knew it didnt have to be hard, but I didnt imagine it would be so perfect. I am the most deep, contemplative, intelligent, introspective man I have ever met, and I just cant argue with a beer, a smiling girl, a dance floor, and some techno.
187 views, and only 3 comments, and 1 fucking Kudos. I only have 248 page views, so more than 50% involved someone reading a blog post. Why so fucking quiet? Is it because most of the page views are from Crazy Girl? I dont know, if she cared that much, how come she had no problem lying to me, and treating me like shit while she blew her boyfriend, huh? Yeah I am definitely still pissed at her. Meh, Ill just assume it because no comments are necessary, I am always right, and nobody needs to tell me. Or because whenever people read my posts, it makes them sick, and they cant control their vomiting, let alone leave a FUCKING COMMENT. Yes I am a lonely (albeit badass, and successful) motherfucker.

Kawaiiso
I told Ai I was taking the local train to Tokyo, and she replied by writing, Kawaiiso. I tried looking it up, but all I have is a phrasebook. It did have the word Kawa, which means river. I already knew the rest, "ii" (nice) "so" (so). So I thought she was calling the local train "So nice river" and I figured it was a nickname. The local train makes every stop on the way to Tokyo, so it's the slowest possible way to get there. I was all happy because I knew some cool phrase for the local train, but then later that day she said it again, and I asked her what she meant. Kawaiiso actually means "pity", she was just saying it was a pity I would be so long. Anyway, I think Kawaiiso would still be a cool nickname for the local, so I'm telling everyone to use it. It would be awesome if this Gaijin got the Japanese to use the pun.

Gone Drinking
I got drunk bitches. First I hung out with Ruiz and we played the midnight lib game in the Honch, I even sang Karaoke. I drank, coconut rum, then tequila sunrise, then jack and coke, then two Asahi's in about 2 hours. I was probably at the lowest level of drunk possible becuase I could still walk and talk normally I just felt odd.
The next night Tony and I went to Roppongi all night and I drank well, I don't know, maybe 5 beers including Bud, Guiness, Asahi, and Foster's and I had a shot of Jameson, that really fucked me up. After the Jameson I drank Cokes for about 3 hours until I was sober again, then I had some more beer, and at some point a glass of Hennessy I never got so drunk that I couldn't walk straight. I surveyed the scene figured out the games and learned a lot, I think I'll be banging cheap Japanese and Euro trash girls in no time.
I learned a lot from this, for example being drunk didn't change who I was at all, so if a girl becomes a slut when she's drunk, then she's just a slut anyway, and if a guy becomes an asshole when he's drunk, well then he's an asshole. I never knew that. I thought alcohol lowered inhibition or some stupid shit like that, maybe it does, but that wouldn't work on me, I have no inhibitions, I really do and say anything I want all the time. All being drunk did was make me feel weird. Shit if you want elation, I've had much better highs when in deep philosophical discussions. I have experienced so much better mental pleasure from my own actions I don't see any point to alcohol, It isn't healthy so fuck it. I'm hard pressed to understand how anybody even becomes an alcoholic.
This is where I get back on my high horse. These experiences have only further proved how right I am, and how stupid you all are. If only I could show you the true pleasures of life. Sex is one of them, and I do believe I will go back to the land of hot Euro/Russian/Japanese/Brazillian women for that reason, but this alcohol business is silly. Well if it works for you good on you, I like people actually being themselves, we could all drape ourselves in bullshit so thick we could forget reality, but I rather everyone be honest. If getting drunk makes people act like they truly feel, then drink away!
Some people might say that's not cool becuase some people are dicks when they're drunk, well if their dicks when they're drunk, then they are dicks alltogether, they also happen to be liars who pretend to be cool, just stay away from the dicks.
And of course some girls, including the one I foolishly fell in love with are total sluts when they're drunk, well there's nothing wrong with being a slut, why not do it when you're sober too? It would make my life easier. I can prove logically that casual sex is a healthy thing, but you might not like the religion bashing it would require.
I guess the worst part is now that the mystery is gone, I see the world a mass of horribly pathetic people.
Now I know what the die hard drinkers are thinking right now, so I'll say, yes I had a great time, it is fun, but that had nothing to do with the alcohol. I was sober just as much as I was drunk last night, and my fun level didn't change, the only thing that changed was when I was at my peak drunkness, I couldn't concentrate, and I'm a man who likes his thoughts.
I also learned that a lot of these people aren't really having a good time, many were quite bored. I see this as a perfect opportunity. I might not be getting a stage performance gig anytime soon, but I'll be damned if I can't put a little sunshine in the eyes of up to and including 3 hot Japanese girls or 1 Euro girl, it is harder to remove sticks from their refined asses.I could probably entertain 1 or two Brazillians for short bursts, so I would have to strike quickly and max out on my Spanish, because I know much more spanish than Japanese. What I lack in language skills I can make up for in Americaness, you see being an American in Japan is often like being a celebrity, not a big one, but I've had my picture taken with at least 15 people on different occasions. I am inherently a curiosity, all I need to do is find a curious girl. Then out of spite I wrote; "Not some boring, fearful, hypocrite bitch."

To you, my love, or me, my pain
I was an open book. You read me, and threw me away. I'm sorry there isn't more. You don't want there to be more. If you ever want to read again, just pick me up. I am right where you left me. In the trash.
I can't be any more open to you. You can't be any more recluse to me. If you no longer fear what the pages say, then pick me up again.
I will remain here until someone else comes and takes me away. May I grab them like I could never grab you. May I mean enough to them that they pass me along, and not abandon me. You don't want to hear it. If you could even pretend you cared you wouldn't have slammed me shut so hard.
It is ok. This is life. I will suffer. You will play. Maybe another day.

"There's a pile of dead horses, somebody get the bat" or "I am like a hella cool poet "
Commit war and repent. I imagine. This passion is beyond the scope of understanding. My what a taste of life! Lie down for me, as I have for you. Or may I throw you to the floor? It is hard I know. But it is good. This life is all we have. I have made it. There is no end, or it is always ending.
Behind the curtain a thousand crimes we could commit. Though none would be just the same. You cannot go halfway. All or none. Life or death. Truth or lies. Oh, but both hurt. Then it is only in the mind that the war is waged for on the battlefield is nuetral ground. Not a single shot has been fired and yet there are casualties on both sides. What the does "All's fair in love and war." mean? I don't see one bit of fairness. Or is that it, because I seriously doubt anyone wants to stand on a battlefield and march to his death. I shall be in the corner. It is honest and yet deceitful. The agreement to lie. To hold true to whims. Contrapositives and oxymorons I know not what I say.
So in this I must decline to engage. I most certainly could hide behind the corner, I already failed at a frontal attack. I am war torn, shell shocked. I have lost the taste for this conflict. Should it persist, my absolute love and devotion to life will drive me on towards victory or glorious defeat. For now I stand on what ground I have not lost. My pain, my pleasure surrounds me. This was my life I think. This is my life now. If I had to choose, perhaps I wouldn't have chosen pity. Sorrow for my enemy. It is the love of victory that would drive me on, but it is the love of my enemy that stops me. So I beg of my enemy. Come forth and face me. I am quite ready. I am quite worthy. Do not doubt my ability to destroy you. It is within my reach all that you hold sacred. It is within myself that I will not take it. I do want it. So try. I dare you. I promise you the most glorious defeats you could ever obtain. I promise you dreams you couldn't tell your Grandchildren.
Or is this the game? Must I be the violator of the treaty? If this is the truth, then so is my promise. Although I am willing to die on foreign fields, humiliated and lone, I will always play by my own rules, I will not lie. I will not cheat. I will not steal. You need only say, "You can't lie, cheat, or steal" and I will do so in spite of you. I can lie, I can cheat, I can steal. All is fair in love and war.

My computer's battery will die in 8 min.
You can bet I've stressed myself into a corner. I think I'm in love, that's never happened before. Though it may just be a desire for change. I am trying to not fuck up everything, and I was so close to completly destroying myself. Oh the irony, I can't even fuck up without fucking up my fucking up. 8 min.? I vanquished all the summer mold that had invaded my house while I was underway. I ate noodles and Kim chi for Thanksgiving, and subsequently pissed off too many people doing it. Jesus fucking Christ, you live like a king eat what you want get fat and happy nobody cares, you try to eat healthy and everybody has an oppinion as to why you should act another way. Like when my dad got endless shit for his Atkins diet, which worked By The Way. He lost 30 pounds and has kept it off for two years. Still 8min.? No way, my computer's lying. I want to say much, but whatever. I added a bunch of photos. Not a lot of photos exist of me, I'm usually the one with a camera. 7min. Everytime I think about drinking I remember my Mom, and then I say, well I won't drink THAT much, then I remember Ayn Rand, and I think, Fuck drinking I should be writing or discussing, or building shit, but I'm a little lazy so then I just feel bad, and want a drink, then I feel worse. 6min. Its not all bad, I have butt loads of money because I don't blow it on alcohol. Time's up. I said, and I meant it. I love her, but I won't let the bitch kill me with her sadism.

Last
My last day in Hong Kong
I don't think I'll be going back. Not in the Navy anyway. My last day in Hong Kong I was on duty, I had shore patrol, and I wrote the previous post. Our SP group consisted of Ens. Kirk, STG2 Schlittler, OS1 Means, and me. We were supposed to be out from 1700-0200. We didn't get off the fleet landing until 1830. A quick walk through Wan Chai showed that there were no sailors getting plastered just yet, so we went to a restaurant in a little district I never heard of, Lan Kwai something. Anyway we sat around for an hour listening to a couple drunk Limeys talk about business. At about 2000 we went back to the "Wanch" as alcohol swilling sailors who love Yokos "Honch" district called it. We went into a strip club that claims to be the first in Hong Kong, and was featured in the James Bond movie "The Man With The Golden Gun." The owner said it was closed until he realized we were Navy and wanted to know when our ship was leaving, apparently he thought we were already gone and he had let his strippers go for the evening. Next we went to a horribly noisy night club called Neptune II Disco Club. They played mostly Lil Jon, and their in house band stank it up every hour or so. Ms. Kirk decided we would post here, and she went to sleep. I got bored and started talking to the people at the bar. I met a man who used to be an EM in the Navy and he was there with his wife and daughter. He kept trying to offer up his daughter to me, and pondering about my drinking only Coke unitl he realized I was on duty and such shenanigans were for another night. Another guy I talked to was from Stockton! He said he owned a restaurant on March in the Venitian Plaza back in '83. He pointed out that the whores that filled this club were all hot and weren't frowned upon because everyone around here is Buddhist. They figure things are the way they are and that's that, whether the girl next to you is a prostitute or a bartender doesn't matter. I hadn't realized all the women there were prostitutes, but I knew some had to be, you just don't get rows of beautiful women standing around for hours doing nothing any other way.One by one the prostitutes got picked up by well dressed older men, they danced and drank. We just sat there. We left around midnight and checked out the other bars, all the sailors had left if they had been there at all. Normally there would be most of the ship getting drunk at Joe Bannanas but this was the last day and E-5 and below had to be back onboard by 0100. We did manage to find a group of Junior officers who were quite trashed, they were all in a festive mood, festive enough for STG2 to get several entertaining photographs. My favorite line from one of the JO's ramblings was "That Ensign Areola chick really knows how to grind." They apparently weren't done partying so we all went back to Neptune. Shore Patrol stood around and watched them dance. I was in the back just aching to go to bed and some prostitute thought I needed attention, so she grabbed me by my cheeks and made me smile. Of course the smile didn't last, even if I did find standing around watching drunk sailors dance entertaining, I was more sleepy than could be countered. This didn't deter her and she kept whispering stuff into my ear. She even tried to get me to drink her liquer, not my own glass, her mostly drunk one. She aimed the strw at my mouth and had me against the wall, so I obliged. It was so watered down it makes me believe she was more of a "Buy me a drink girl." Maybe the club gives watered down drinks to the prostitutes and rips off the guys buying the drinks, I guess it makes sense, that way the prostitiutes are welcome to hang out in the club to pick up men, the guys can act like they are picking up real women, and just getting lucky, and the club makes lots of money from this. Around 0130 we left and went back to the ship.

Pefection
For you I spent my days in a house.
I felt your warmth underneath the sheets and knew that this was all I wanted.
You were there for me, and I was there for you.
We were the means to our own ends.
But you wanted more
I wanted more
You did not ask, and neither did I.
For 2 weeks this went on.
I am not perfect, you know.
I did not think you were either.
But I could not desire anything but you.
We parted when we had to.
I just wanted to let you know, though we hardly spoke, I remember your voice.
Though we hardly touched, I remember your skin.
Though I hardly dared to look deep into your eyes and feel the burn of all my flaws and desires battling in the glimmer of you, I remember you, and I am happy.
I felt your warmth underneath the sheets and knew that this was all I wanted.
You were there for me, and I was there for you.
We were the means to our own ends.
But you wanted more
I wanted more
You did not ask, and neither did I.
For 2 weeks this went on.
I am not perfect, you know.
I did not think you were either.
But I could not desire anything but you.
We parted when we had to.
I just wanted to let you know, though we hardly spoke, I remember your voice.
Though we hardly touched, I remember your skin.
Though I hardly dared to look deep into your eyes and feel the burn of all my flaws and desires battling in the glimmer of you, I remember you, and I am happy.

I Feel a Rant Coming
Kanye West. Lord of War. Thanksgiving. Fuck it. I went from being a Green to a Republican because of a man named Michael Savage. I am no longer a “Republican” but so much more. Dr. Savage inspired me to question that which is glazed over. Dr. Laura inspired in me defined morality.
Fuck you Michael you god damn hypocrite. Fuck New Orleans. Die. Similarly fuck you Kanye West you dumb fuck. If George Bush hated black people Miss Rice would only be a sad Republican mentioned as a fool in an old issue of Rolling Stone. NO SHUT THE FUCK UP! Racists don’t hide their Racism by doing non racist things. It is the essence of action that defines reality. The act defines itself. Woodrow Wilson hated black people. Democrats hate black people. I hate Kanye West.
Michael Savage let me down these last few weeks. He has gone against the philosophy of life and held idols as gods. Christianity doesn’t need “under God”. Politics need “under God” In the media I have only heard reference to Objectivist once, ever. An Objectivist was trashed by Michael Savage who claimed he worshiped Ayn Rand. Michael Savage’s contention being that Rand was a Russian therefore must have been a Socialist. What? Way to go with living up to my expectations that you not glaze over small details like what Ayn Rand devoted her life to, before insulting a man on national air because you’re so upset about “under God” being contested by “The people’s atheist” Michael Newdow. You cry for the wire-tapping of every Mosque in the Nation. You have lost it. Fuck “under God” and not because it’s religious, but because it’s political. It was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the fifties by an act of congress. It makes me sick to think I had to recite that shit because politics demanded it.
New Orleans isn’t worth the cost. Our shitty government is going to give the equivalent of $200,000 per person to New Orleans. Sounds like they all won the lottery. Meanwhile the rest of America will go into recession. I’m one who doesn’t believe in any sacrifice, but saving a “Sinful” city at the cost of an entire nation is beyond retarded. New Orleans won’t be a city in a couple hundred years anyway. The whole area has been steadily falling into the Gulf. Fuck the levies; I’m talking about the Gulf of Mexico. It will wash away all of it.
I do suppose its Bush’s fault that the rescuers couldn’t come in sooner, because Bush didn’t order Daisy Cutters to be dropped to clear out the armed looters. The argument is that the President of the United States didn’t get a bus a drive into New Orleans BEFORE the levies broke and miraculously persuade every man woman and child to leave. Because it IS AFTER ALL the President’s job to save people from floods. Wait no I am mistaken, it is the President’s job to force every Mayor in America to spend everything possible to protect every city in America from every possible NATURAL DISASTER. And to send all of Earth’s natural resources to a disaster ridden area and miraculously dodge bullets Matrix style as looters celebrate. Federal agents should be paid $50,000 a year to live in boats on wheels on the edges of every city in America with millions of dollars of emergency supplies in case the Mayors' endless budgets don’t prevent temperatures from changing, the seas from rising, the rain from falling, the wind from blowing, the continents to shift. In fact we should just stab everyone on Earth and use their blood and guts to build a bridge that the New Orleans refugees can use to cross in and out of Texas. Then we should give Texas to the New Orleans Refugees, and send the current residents to New Mexico.
Never mind the fact rescuers got into New Orleans FASTER than they did in previous devastated areas, despite the looters, the constant problem of water, and complete lack of “government”. They were ‘too slow’. An entire city went under water, and less than one percent of its people died.
When I was living in San Francisco I was poor. Really poor. My meals were free at school so all we needed was dinner and a place to sleep. All my clothes were Goodwill. All the places I slept were “goodwill” as well. We slept in living rooms, shelters and hotels. The “Covered Wagon” was a classic, located in what FOX 2 called the most dangerous area in San Francisco, the CW is better known for its first floor live music bar, the second floor is painfully aware of this. Every day was a challenge, where will we sleep, how am I going to scrounge up $1.10 to pay for the bus for my brother, sister, and me? We had no stable location, save one, the library. I would meet my family at the Parkside Library because it was near our schools. For consistency’s sake I’ll say my mother told us in the event of emergency we were to proceed to the library no matter what, so we could come together, and leave town. We were poor as fuck, but that wouldn’t have kept us from getting out of dodge. To the discredit of New Orleans even I new it was below sea level and to be sure my Mother would have made our meeting point above the water line. I’m just saying being poor isn’t an excuse to be stranded in a city. If you have legs, walk or swim. In this library I certainly didn’t do a whole lot of homework, hence my being in the Navy, not college. I did read. I read more books in that library in two years than all the books I had ever read in the 16 previous years. One of the books I read a little was “Lies My Teacher Told Me” Which I recently purchased. The book reveals to those fortunate enough to gaze upon it that our history books are written like the Pledge of Allegiance. Columbus not only didn’t discover anything, but he committed genocide. He completely depopulated Cuba and Haiti in his conquests of 1493. I have been fortunate enough to learn that pre Euro intrusion into America, the population was about 20 million. The plague from Europe wiped out 95% of the people, and the Pilgrims killed the rest with poisons and guns. Thanksgiving is a celebration of racist, immoral “God –fearing” Europeans raping and pillaging and enslaving. Woodrow Wilson hated black people, in fact he hated everyone who wasn’t a white male, and even then they had to be American born and proud of it. Wilson so thoroughly waged war on the people of South America that there wasn’t a year of his presidency that didn’t have Marines killing foreigners. He forced communist dictatorships into power. His successors had to adopt what was known as a “Good Neighbor Policy” to counter act Wilson’s wrath. Helen Keller was a raging communist; she even helped found the ACLU. At the start of the Russian revolution she screamed support for the Reds, while Wilson sent Marines to die in Vladivostok fighting in a foreign country’s civil war. What does this have to do with anything? It all relates to me. I see that not only is our country built on lies, but can’t wait to destroy itself to save stupid poor people. I see the people I thought were sensible aren’t even in the ballpark. I used to think the US had a good 200 years left in it. Now I see America never was, and can’t wait to prove it.
Meanwhile I got the “Lord of War” monkey on my back. It was an intense movie. I don’t doubt its claimed level of veracity, but its conclusions are left unquestioned. I must question them. Because it is yet another anti-gun movie. This time a really good one. I am excessively pro-gun, I believe eight year old should be able to own AK-47s, I believe civilians should be able to possess RPGs. I see no limit. Arm everyone. BUT, this movie makes a strong case against such a venture. Enough to keep me quiet for two days. I am after all an Objectivist, and I do value truth above all. I thought about where Nick Cage’s character went wrong. I easily defined his immorality of being adulterous and a liar. But the selling of guns to killers isn’t clear cut. Moral standards dictate that a man of justice would not sell weapons to men who clearly intend to use them in immoral ways. The conclusion I made is that I would have been with Cage through it all until he fucked over his brother to save his own life and make money. I contend that a man of justice would have refused to sell the weapons to men who were about to slaughter other people. The conflict was that the murderers would have killed Cage’s character if he didn’t sell them the weapons, but a rational man wouldn’t have put himself in such a situation. For arguments sake if such an unfortunate event did occur where my hypothetical moral arms dealer where faced with such a decision, this person should have acted nether like Cage’s character, nor his suicidal brother, instead he should have casually walked over to the merchandise, armed himself, and taken his chances, even if his own death is the result. I don’t believe in sacrifice, nor do I believe dying while defending your morality is sacrifice. I do believe guns are objects of men and they are neither good nor evil, but can be used for both. I support the moral use of weapons. I guess I would be the “Mr. Wise” character who curiously shares my last name. Although his decisions later in the movie completely contradict his original declaration of standards when he said, “Choose sides.” I say choose sides as well, but on a smaller more infinite scale, 0 or 1, 1 or 0. Individual all the way.
This about wraps up this horrible rant, I really only wrote it to kill time while my stupid ship pulls in. I can’t believe I have to wait ashore. It’s actually more frustrating than when I’m onboard waiting to pull in. Here on shore I have freedom taunting me. I can see it but I can’t touch it, I just wait and wait.
Fuck you Michael you god damn hypocrite. Fuck New Orleans. Die. Similarly fuck you Kanye West you dumb fuck. If George Bush hated black people Miss Rice would only be a sad Republican mentioned as a fool in an old issue of Rolling Stone. NO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Social Culture vs. Individual Culture
Social Culture vs. Individual Culture
Cultures can be broken down all kinds of ways and re-arranged and categorized and blown up. In fact culture is an arbitrary word that means almost nothing and applies to anything. If for example I happen to be in a certain division on a certain ship that routinely practices eating babies, well that’s a culture. And if the babies are always fresh, compared to other divisions on the ship that sometimes eat rotten babies, well that’s what we learned folk call “cultural diversity”. Social culture is what I call any culture ascribed to a person, and people that is purely aesthetic in nature. Not the culture itself, but the ascribing, in fact I should probably rewrite these sentences so that when I read them later they make sense. Individual culture is practiced by individuals in groups. That is people who chose to be a part of a culture. For an example, the chief of my division is practicing his individual culture when he eats babies. I don’t eat the babies, but because the people around me do, I am a part of a social culture of baby eating. If none of this makes sense tjofghjvg,,
I call it Social culture because I hate it like I hate Socialism
If you were born in America you are an American. Americans eat white bread, buy stuff, and are Satan. You may not necessarily do any of these things but you are still an American. Because when your mom squirted out a pile of goo that included lumps of meat that eventually came to be your limbs, she did it in the current legal border of the United States. Magical United States beams then filled you with American culture and your fate was sealed. Enjoy your white bread Yank.
As if this weren’t enough. You are then educated on maps of America that show the US floating in a white background by itself with Alaska and Hawaii close to the California coast. You see when business men in Hawaii overthrew the Queen and made Hawaii American property, it floated to its current position 80 miles west of Los Angeles. Of course it was still invisible at the time, just like Puerto Rico. Until the fateful day when the Congress made it a state and it appeared all of a sudden on projectors across the legal boundary of America. After your daily dose of Pledge of Allegiance (because being born in America is a legal and spiritual contract that you belong and therefore must either stay American, or break your unwritten word) you are told that other people exist in this world. They sucked, so we killed them, at various times for various reasons. For example, when Mexico wouldn’t call upon the Gods of border lines and redraw it to have America look bigger, we killed everyone in our path to the capital. I say we, because anyone who ever did anything in America ever is a part of us, and only us. No one in Mexico is a part of us, that’s why its “we killed them” not “we killed us” or the unthinkable “They killed them.” Should you decide to break the binds of your contract and join another culture that is defined by its natural or political boundaries, you are forever branded with the “American” title. As anyone or their Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandchild is eternally tacked with the previous boundaries they occupied. For example I have a friend who is African-American because 200 years ago somebody blood (therefore eternally) related to him probably lived somewhere in the fluctuating boundaries of Africa. I say probably because we all just assume he’s African-American, he’s definitely American, because I can see him, and anyone who isn’t American is invisible, but the African part we deduce from his black skin. And by black, I mean more plentiful in melanin than my Filipino friend. Of course since America is the most important country in the world, anywhere you go to live you will always be American. For example if I gain citizenship in Japan, I am not an American-Japanese; I am an American with Japanese citizenship. It should also be noted that any place in America you are born defines what kind of American you are. For example, I was born in Stockton California, therefore I will always be a Californian, and in California I will always be a farmer. I haven’t actually farmed before, but Stockton is surrounded by farms, so anyone from Stockton gets farm waves injected into them at birth.
Anything associated with anything associated with you is you. For example, Tupac Shakur did stuff that others called rap. Rap consists of saying words, and sometimes rhyming them, usually accompanied by other indefinable sounds. Although the definition is shaky and rhymed words can by accompanied by sounds, and even be said by Tupac and still not be called rap, but rap still exists physically. So because he said the words with the sounds that others called rap, and my African-American friend is black, it’s a part of his culture. My friend doesn’t like rap, but I do, I am not black so I am an outsider. I will never belong, I grew up listening to Snoop and Biggie, always humming the words I wasn’t allowed to say, but you understand don’t you?
Food is real. And is a part of culture. For example, if I take corn and mash it up into a ball and spit on it, and mash it, and spit on it and mash it some more, then fry it and eat it, I am eating South American food. If I take the corn and boil the shit out of it, then dry it out, then mash it, I am eating American food, but more specifically “Southern food”. And if I take the corn whole and throw it in a microwave for 15 seconds, I am eating Ramon food, which is neither here nor there, but I suggest you try it, Ramon made a believer out of me.
I hope this explains social culture in a manner so fucked up and incomprehensible that you come to realize, this is the nature of social culture, and anyone that can try to claim any of the shit I spewed is tangible and not arbitrary (except for Ramon food which is awesome) is either a fucking moron or a liar.
Individual culture is un-American
If I decide to build houses for a living, regardless of who or where I am, I must first learn how to build houses, and then build them. The next thing might be to go where people like houses built and spend time there. I might even spend time with people who A. Have houses, or B. Want a house or several, simultaneously. Thusly I would be in an individual culture of house building. My eating habits would consist of food native to places that are near where I build houses. My hands may become callused and worn, to the point I would routinely wear gloves. I may try to avoid losing toes by wearing steel toed boots, and may enjoy pockets in my sturdy pants and shirts. I may also wear a hard hat. I would try to keep clean, but it would be hard and I wouldn’t be inclined to eat out, or go shopping before I showered. I may start to speak louder and more hoarsely while simplifying my vocabulary all to enhance my building of houses. I am in an individual culture, shared with others, not others exactly like me, but others whose actions help me, or my actions help them, either way a culture is formed, I chose it, and it consists entirely of my preferences, not arbitrary lines in the sand, ways of cooking, or skin color.
Truth by its very nature is simple.
Cultures can be broken down all kinds of ways and re-arranged and categorized and blown up. In fact culture is an arbitrary word that means almost nothing and applies to anything.

How to Ruin North Korea
How to Ruin North Korea
History
Many historians believe the reason the Japanese surrendered wasn’t because the U.S. nuked them, but because the Russians were about to invade.
The Japanese knew exactly what would have happened if the Russians took over. They had seen what happened in Europe, they had seen what the Russians did to the Koreans, the Koreans weren’t even the Russians enemies and tales of mass murder and raping and pillaging made its way across the sea.
The Russians weren’t the only ones fighting in East Asia, and America got its piece of the Korean pie too. So began the salvation of the South, and the destruction of the North.
Stalin took a liking to Kim IL Sung. They went to parties, drank vodka, killed people, Stalin was the master, Kim the apprentice. When Stalin finally released Kim into the North, it was with the knowledge that Kim would re-unite Korea under the Red Flag.
Relying heavily on Russian and Chinese money, goods, weapons, military, and man power, the North Koreans tried to fulfill their greatest goal, enslaving all the people in the Land of the Morning Calm. America stepped in and General McArthur stomped the North with a powerful push from Pusan and an amphibious incursion into Inchon. McArthur spilled the gut of Kim’s force, and then pushed north until North Korea was defeated. Alas this was a war for Socialism, and the Chinese and Russians pushed back.
Despite America’s great military prowess, her politics are that of a beaten dog and when McArthur said, ‘Let’s go to China’, America said, ‘No let’s just puss out instead.’
So the ground they had gained was lost for fear of hurting the Chinese government’s feelings.
Pussy whipped, the liberating force became the defensive force and fell back to the south. There the frontline stayed.
Today North Korea is an exemplary Socialist state achieving the greatest level a Socialist country can have, utter poverty, and barely maintaining life only through massive amounts of donations from Russia, China, and quite sacrificially, South Korea and the U.S.
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime, unless the man is a Socialist, in which case he’ll proceed to keep asking for more fish.
I have a solution, to ruin this great Democratic People’s Republic of Korea without firing a single shot. Send in the Mexicans.
“I will not initiate the use of force”
Of course the US military could annihilate North Korea in a day, well two days, one to get there, the other to do the whole “taking over”. Here is a plausible log of this hypothetical day;
0700 FIRST CONTACT WITH NORTH KOREAN PATROL BOAT.
0701 DPRK SONG-JU PATROL BOAT SUNK.
0706 SIX FISHING BOATS WITH BOW MOUNTED MACHINE GUNS DO
SUICIDE RUNS ON THE USS JOHN S. MCCAIN.
0715 SIX FISHING BOATS SUNK.
0720 DPRK FRIGATES, NAJIN AND SOHO ALONG WITH ROMEO AND
WHISKEY SUBS DISEMBARK FROM THEIR PORTS.
0725 MIG-29S AND SU-7S TAKE OFF.
0745 THE FRIGATES AND SUBS THAT DIDN’T SINK FROM RUST HOLES
GET SWISS CHEESED BY CCSG5.
0750 USS KITTY HAWK SINKS (OPERATOR ERROR).
0800- 1000 F/A 18S OFF THE NIMITZ LAY WASTE TO PYONGYANG AS
WELL AS GROUND RADAR FACILITIES AND COMMUNICATIONS
SITES.
0900-1500 AIR FORCE BOMBERS FROM OSAN TURN EVERY DPRK
MILITARY INSTILATION INTO GLASS PARKING LOTS.
1545 CARRIER PIGEON FROM KIM JONG IL REACHES HIDDEN NUCLEAR
SILO.
1630 2 TAEPODONG IS, AND 1 TAEPODONG II LAUNCH.
1700* THE FIRST TAEPODONG I IRONICALLY DESTROYS THE
RUSSIAN /REDLIGHT DISTRICT OF PUSAN, BUT FAILS TO
DETONATE ITS NUCLEAR PAYLOAD
1710 SECOND TAEPODONG I FROM ITS COURSE AND SINKS A
CHINESE SUB THAT WAS SPYING ON JAPAN.
1655* THE TAEPODONG II INTENDED FOR TOKYO WAS PROGRAMMED
BY A KIDNAPPED JAPANESE SCIENTIST. IT PROMPTLY AND
QUITE SUCCESSFULLY OBLITERATED THE ONLY OTHER SILO IN
NORTH KOREA.
1900 THE LOCAL POLICE FORCES SHOOT ARROWS FROM BOWS AT THE
ARRIVING TANKS.
2000 THE MIGS AND SU-7S (WITHOUT FUNCTIONING RADARS)
FINALLY LOCATE THE STRIKE GROUP AND TRY TO LAUNCH STYX
MISSILES HALF THE MISSILES DETONATE BEFORE THEY
LAUNCH, THE OTHER HALF ARE DEFEATED WITH CONFETTI,
CONFETTI BLOWING IN THE WIND FROM A MILLION HAPPY
KOREANS.
2100 KIM JONG IL FLEES TO RUSSIA.
2200 KOREA IS ONE.
Of course none of this would happen because American politics wouldn’t allow it. This is why I propose ruining North Korea.
Viva La Raza
Step 1: Arrest every illegal Mexican immigrant in America and ship them via Carnival Cruise in San Diego, to Juneau, Alaska. There they will be given a choice, be a US government agent for minimum wage, or be let free into Canadia.
Step 2: 100% of the Mexicanos join and are C-130’d to a secret yet useless cryptologic facility in Hokkaido. Once there Navy CTIs along with actual Koreans teach the Mexicanos the Korean tongue.
3: Mexicanos are shipped to Vladivostok, Russia and are immediately welcomed by their brother Socialists. Then they proceed by foot into North Korea, where they apply for low paying jobs at community markets. Granted some Mexicanos will become disillusioned and try to abandon their mission, but Russia is way too cold and the myth that Chinese food in China is better than Chinese food in California will quickly dissipate.
4: Initially the North Koreans will reject these new people as each Mexicano will do the work of two starving North Koreans for half the pay. They will be bused back over the border and dumped off, but as soon as the bus leaves, they will walk right back.
5: Eventually the North Koreans will begin to accept the Mexicanos and start teaching both Korean and Spanish in the classroom. The absolute incongruity of the Mexicanos crossing the Russian border will quickly be ignored when Vicente Fox visits North Korea and thanks Kim Jong IL for being such a humanitarian. The Mexicanos will become citizens and get menial jobs all over the country. The Mexicanos will drive out the poor unskilled starving Koreans, who will risk death fleeing to South Korea, and China. This will piss off the South Koreans and China. Russia will also be pissed, because nobody likes them.
6: With Russia, China, and South Korea pissed, all funding to North Korea will stop. The Mexicanos will keep coming and the Koreans will continue to leave. At this point Kim Jong Il will find himself a King amongst foreigners in a land of no fruit. He will abandon his country to live in Mongolia. The Mexicanos will take over.
7: Soon after the takeover, hard to pronounce cities like Chaeryong and Kyomip’o will become easy ones like Mesa Verde and San Hector. The capital, Pyongyang will be called “El Ciudad de Nuevo Mexico”. And in turn, Kaesong will be known to most as “TJ.” A bastardized version of Socialism will develop until the Mexicanos remember why they left Mexico in the first place. That’s when the McDonald’s come in, and North Korea becomes the 51st state.
