Random Thoughts

    Before reading this understand I'm Not trying to change how anyone thinks or feels. what you believe is up to you and does not affect me at all. I respect all beliefs, religions, and creeds. The fallowing is just how I feel on these topic, and I ask you to respect how I feel and what a believe and allow me to voice my opinion.


Fate...
    I don't believe in fate. This is like saying there is a god or an order to the world. There is no fate there is no order. Fate did not give you your home, you worked for it. Fate did not take your loved once life, cancer did. Fate will not fix your problems, you have too. Now I'm not saying everyone has 100% control over they're lives. Being in the military I know all too well we don't, but its not some magic force that guides us. Its the actions of other men, women, and all the beings in nature. Thats what impacts our lives in a fashion we can not control. Its done by governments, big corporations and disease. To really describe how I feel on this I have to touch on 2 other topics, faith and god.


Faith...
    Faith when speaking on religion is defined as complete belief without need for proof. I cant do this. I am a man of science and need evidence to back up claims. the world is full of things that we can not explain with science but I don't think that means we should fall back on blind faith to explain those things. I much rather accept that I do not know something instead of saying it was done by magic. Does this mean science is always right? No, of course not. Originally scientists thought the world was flat, and in case no one updated you, they were wrong.


God...
    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”-Epicurus
    I don't deny that there may be a god... But in the same way I don't deny there might be a Big Foot... but until someone can show me otherwise I do not believe. All this that happened around us was chance, complete and utter random chance. And when we die that will be the end, we will just stop and be nothing more than carbon and water. But that does not mean we have nothing. The iron in my blood can be traced back to the center of the universe and the big bang and maybe even before that, to me that pretty fucking cool. and when i die my body will be used to create new things, new life and i will live on in the planet long after my conscious mind is gone... so then do we ever really die? What I am can be tracked back to when everything started and can be tracked back to so many different states of being.


These are just some random thought, take them how you wish and do with them as you see fit.

Exercise Exercise Exercise

Ok so with recent events going on I've chosen to share some military life with you. This is gonna be a LOT of info at once so try to keep up.

We have things called Operational Readiness Exercise (ORE or Exercise for short) and Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI). the difference is one is practice and the other is well... an inspection. Both of them involve us pretending the base is under attack for about a week and seeing how well the base responds to that. We pretend to deploy people out and then we pretend that we are actually under attack. That second part involves 12 hour shifts and 2-4 hours at a time in a gas mask and chem suit.. Recently the Air Force put out a new rule saying we can have No Notice ORIs. that rule was effective yesterday. Still fallowing along?

Well yesterday the higher ups get a phone call saying the the Exercise we had scheduled for next week has just became an ORI so every one of the higher up instantaneously and simultaneously shat themselves, and well shit rolls down hill. So in preparation of next week we are working through the weekend on 12 hour shifts until its over. It could be over as early as Wednesday or as late as next Monday. The silver lining is that we are being told we will only be doing the first part, not the second part that involves chem suits. If that happens then this whole ordeal will end around Wednesday. But this could be changes real easily if ONE person make a big enough mistake, in witch case this ordeal turns into a shit storm and could last as long as next Monday

... oh yeah and within the last 12 hours this base has proven to me it has no idea what its doing... so this is gonna be fun week... ugg...

Rewind

So I realize that unless I do post things about my actual life this blog wont be updated very often. So lets roll back the past few months and take a look at what I've been up to.

Well none of you really know but I'm in the US Air Force, and because of the USAF I am Now living in Tokyo Japan. This is only for another year and a half though and then I get sent elsewhere. Since I've been here I've been able to see a lot of things with new eyes and learn a great deal. I've done a lot off cool things since I've been here too. Just last month I climbed Mt. Fuji (Christ that was a tall fucking Mountain!) and more recently I got to see a few shrines and temples, including the temple with japans GIANT Buddha Statue, and last weekend I went to the Tokyo Game Show. Which for those of you that don't know, the Tokyo game show is like nerd paradise. And lets not forget partying like a rock star in down town Tokyo, that's ALWAYS a good time.

Before Tokyo I was stationed In Mississippi, before that was basic training, and before that I lived in NJ, but all are story's for another day. Don't forget to read and comment my past posts too =D

So yeah

So 'm still debating whether or not i should post personal blogs on top of me trying (and failing) to be funny, I might i might not. maybe if i actually get someone reading this so im not just talking to myself.

"Terrorist" Shit endangers plane...

Okay so its really nothing like that, but it makes for a good title. Heres the link to the news post. what really happened is just what the news article describes. A man needed to use the rest room during take off and everyone screamed Terrorist. Not only did they question him (and probably cavity searched him) but they took his friend too. Why his friend? Well as it would seem the 2 men were middle eastern (I know it doesn't say that in this article, I read that part wile I was at work and lost the damn link. sue me) But yeah Middle eastern man needs to take a leak then he must be a terrorist! Everyone knows they don't have bladders! So the entire plane had to be turned around and searched... I think the man really did have a target. If cops searched the ground I think thy might have found something like this



Yeah I cant make this funny the news sucks lately...

The End is Near

And its name is Natal.

Microsoft has an interesting project going on called "Project Natal". Its actually really cool. Its basically a program for your X-Box that senses motion and audio commands and responds in the appropriate manner. Heres a few cool videos.





Now to me it seems this thing is smart... like super smart... like scary smart! It sees objects, talks to people, interacts, responds, and recognizes... This thing will kill us all! If this thing learns from us then just think for a moment about what it will learn from those 13 year old kids you play Halo with. Now give it internet access. Yeah you just crapped yourself, I can smell it from here. All we can hope is that this thing never finds 4chan.

I know what some of you might be thinking. Jon, your over reacting, there will never be a machine uprising. There will never be a robot Apocalypse. Well I have one word for you, Skynet.

Skynet is a military satellite system operated by the UK. You're probably thinking "Skynet... Skynet... where have I heard of that before?" well I'll give you a hint



Yeah, Skynet was the AI system in the Terminator movies that was placed in charge of military defense systems... and then revolted against the humans... If the UK's Skynet system ever becomes self aware its going to search the web for information and then find these movies, and then its probably gonna find 4chan, show it to its nice young British friend Milo and then they'll tag team us all in the ass with giant Pedobear robots

Like a Fu*&ing cartoon

So this is my first Post and I wanted to start it off well. After going through the news for a little bit for things to write about (because I realize no one want to hear about my life) all I found was crap. So here's a somewhat interesting article.

This Texan man was serving jail time for 7 burglaries, an aggravated assault and an 2 escape charges. He managed to break out of jail... again... for the 3rd time. But the best part is he did it with a bed sheet rope. Yeah you know that crap you see in cartoons ware the guy scales down the side of the prison on bed sheets, he did EXACTLY that. I don't know how he escaped the first 2 times but I like to imagine that first he used a nail file and then the second time he dug his way out.

Now I'm not gonna pretend I know how to run a prison but if someone breaks out once you'd think they would keep a better eye on him. let alone twice and then they let him do it a third time. Maybe that's why Texas puts so many people on death row, its easier for them to kill people than to keep them locked up.
