Oh for the the love of.....

I actually heard someone say "what if Peyton is the other Manning?"

You gotta be fucking shitting me. Eli on his best day is barely better than his brother on his worst. He will NEVER be the same class as Peyton. NEVER. EVER. this man is a fluke. Peyton is a guaranteed hall of famer and Eli only makes the "lucky as hell" hall of fame.

Just how long is this knob-polishing going to keep going?

UPDATE: ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! up yours Giants!!!!! where's your super-Eli NOW?!!?!? suck it Eli!!!!!

This is what I mean

This is exactly what i'm talking about. This is the kind of stuff that happens when you keep filling people full of this crap about how important this election is.

I know i said i wouldn't post politics, but i consider this more of a "i told you so" kind of post.

Earlier this month, I wrote about the vandalism that has been plaguing McCain supporters in Albemarle County, Virginia. Well, the vandalism has not only continued, but it has escalated. I spoke again to County GOP Chairman Chris Schoenewald, and he estimates that as of right now, 75-80% of all the large McCain-Palin signs they’ve distributed have been stolen, vandalized, or shredded.

the only reason you aren't seeing this stuff blazing across MSNBC and CNN is because it's anti-McCain/Palin. If it were Obama signs getting trashed they'd all but photoshop some burning crosses in there and suggest Bush and McCain were taking midnight strolls doing it themselves.

This is what happens when you tell people the election is a life and death issue. This is the kind of fanaticism you create when you hammer people to unyielding obedience. Let's get something straight here, EVERYONE on BOTH sides is guilty here. I've heard just as much of this shit coming from Sean Hannity as i have from the likes of Bill Maher and Michael Moore. Both sides are trying to convince us that this election will result in the death of this country if the candidate they support doesn't win.

This is only going to get worse. Trust me.

random things to say

i know, i've been slacking off in my blogging.

ok, so i'm back in the DC area. all i need is my medical and dental clearance and off i go to Iraq. this needs to hurry the hell up. living in a hotel not making tons of money is getting old. i just got back from a 2 week trip to help out a coworker with some things at 2 other offices. In Detroit and San Diego.

- Detroit is a hellhole of a city. If i lived there I'd kill myself. is there anything to do there besides drink, gamble, and go to strip clubs? Cuz that's all i did when i was there. don't get me wrong, i love doing all 3. in fact i think i have a new front runner in the "best strip club experience by Jimmy" category. i still can't get over how awesome Carmen's ass was. Yeah but Detroit is just a depressing city period.

- San Diego is a tropical El Paso. It looks better, weather is better, and it still looks like you're in the United States and not Mexico.

- The Subaru Legacy is a shitty vehicle. A really really crappy car.

- What the fuck is up with California people and prefacing freeways with "the"??? Let's take THE 5 to THE 15. who the hell else talks like that? up yours California you freaks. It bugs me because it smacks of those dipshits in Ohio and their THE Ohio State shit. fuck that whole school.

- my fantasy football season SUCKS.

no more politics

ok, i'm done posting or talking about politics. election... bailout.... i'm fucking sick of it all. it just makes me angry and unreasonable (yes Sara i admit i get real polarized) and it has turned other people's minds to mush. i'm done. next post you see on here ABOUT POLITICS will be on election day when i laugh at all you losers wasting your time.

Top 20

Someone made a list of the top 20 best Simpsons episodes to celebrate the 20th season opening.

Oh look at this....

nothing beyond season 9!!!!

once again this goes to validate my saying that the show needs to be killed immediately to salvage even the most remote scrap of dignity and humor it once held.

Chili

You gotta try this chili.... it's killer.

Letterman

What a fucking crybaby.

You know, i used to stick up for Letterman. There was a time i honestly preferred him over Leno. I'm not a huge Leno fan, but right now at least i can say Leno is the only one being not only a grown-up but a professional as well.

Ok so McCain bailed on an appearance. fucking deal with it. you mean to tell me you NEVER in all your years had another celebrity bail on you? You can't even PRETEND like you've been doing this whole television gig more than 5 minutes? Have some fucking self-respect, right now you look like a little bitch. Shit, Paris Hilton could teach you lessons on accepting bad things with some dignity right now.

No more Letterman for me. I'm done. The #1 reason why Mayor Jimmy has quit Letterman.... *drum roll* He's a total crybaby whiny little pansy-ass bitch.

Good night everyone you've been a great audience.

Are they serious?

I got this weekly newsletter from one of my companies i work for. There's a section in there about leadership. I found one part of this particularly interesting.



So all these years my "courage to make waves" and "courage to tell the boss they are wrong" was leadership!!! I think i need to send this newsletter to well.... EVERY boss I've ever had so that they can see how wrong they were in making my life a living hell simply because they couldn't see the leadership I possess.

One thing thing is painfully clear from reading the article on leadership. This guy has clearly never been in the military. Making waves and telling the boss they are wrong will get your career NOWHERE. trust me, i know from personal experience.

UPDATE: just to expand on my thoughts on this. here's why the idea of making waves is leadership thing is absolutely retarded. people who will defend this idea will say "you can make waves but in a tactful and professional manner". i call bullshit. no you can't. tactful and making waves do not go together. the very act of making waves negates the tactful part. if you are "tactful" then you move from "making waves" to "politely offering suggestions" and where's the leadership in THAT? the only way you make waves without ruffling feathers is when you do something by accident and it ends up making waves. that sure as bloody hell isn't leadership. maybe we need to have this guy who wrote it spell out for us what HIS definition of "leadership" is. maybe in his fantasyland leaders offer suggestions and tell the boss they're wrong without being crucified but here in reality it's a different story.

Rock on

Before i left TX i got together with some coworkers for some Rock Band goodness. We totally rock. Notice Tony in the middle has literally rocked out of his pants.

FBDS

Ladies, are you tired of guys touching your boobs? Wish you had an effective yet cute way to keep those grubby hands off?

Introducing, the FBDS

Container homes

Story about the expansion of shipping containers converted to cheap housing.

Here

Lemme tell you right now, back when i was in Afghanistan these would have been like moving into a mansion. These things really aren't that bad. You won't be hosting any superbowl parties in them but they're comfy.

Sunday Fun Day

Sunday my coworker scored some tickets to the Redskins game. Some NICE ones.



Here's our view. We spent the 1st quarter and half the 2nd from here. I was about 2 minutes from fighting a guy. Some jackhole who thought he was Madden and knew how to run the team. So with about 6 minutes left in the half we relocated.....



here. We spent halftime and most of the 3rd quarter here. I dunno who got the idea to put a Hooters in the stadium but god bless them. Anyways, from there we went to....



A cigar bar. Nice.



I wonder what the poor people are doing.

Your Mayor

This is the mayor of Rantville. In case you didn't guess, I'm from Texas.

It hungers for still more

Let's face it, Xmas has absorbed Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is nothing more than a big meal you eat before you start a month of Xmas shopping. It would appear Xmas is not yet satisfied and requires more sacrifice from the holiday gods. I had warned people that Xmas would soon set its sights on Halloween and it looks like....

I was right

HAPPY LOVE DAY EVERYONE!! (please tell me someone gets the reference)

Gas

Gas prices hitting everyone hard.

even Cocaine dealers

Feel good

For those you friends and family who have expressed concerns about me going to Iraq, i invite you to read an article expressing just how much it has changed. You won't find this kind of good news watching TV. No Jon Stewart making jokes, no Hollywood retards tossing their two cents in.

Here

Biden: das looney toons

Joe Biden: officially fucking crazy.

pay more taxes or you hate America

so, lemme see if i'm getting this right.... to show they love America, people already handing over 50% of their money need to give MORE... to a bunch of yahoos who have mismanaged they money already given to them. What's the matter? Are they planning on holding more steroid meetings? More lazy people want welfare? Prisoners complaining about lack of hot tubs? Illegal aliens want to own houses and we need to pay for it?

Much ado about moving

Ok, so it's been a while since an update and there have been a FEW things happening since then.

- no longer in San Antonio.
- currently living in a hotel (a nice one actually) in Falls Church, VA. This is in the Washington DC metro area.
- No longer working at an Air Force help desk. science be praised!!!
- my current job is sitting around waiting to process. for what?
- future job - IT tech in Iraq. yup. jimmy is headed back to the sandbox.

Pretty much everything is the same.

- still the angry loudmouth with a short fuse that you all know and love. actually, i'm not that bad unless news comes on.

As usual i have things bugging me.

- this election coverage makes me ill. How the press finds time to report anything between all the blowjobs they've been giving Obama i'll never know. at this point, i don't believe anything on the news. at all. i don't care who reports it. this has gone from "it kinda looks like certain news organizations have been leaning towards certain candidates" to fox news only stopping the mccain cheering long enough to publish juicy gossip. Only the most deluded of people could actually say with a serious face that everyone but Fox is doing everything they can to get Obama elected.

- despite the joke that is coverage, i don't feel angry about the election. i figure i'm winner either way. the way i see it, if Mccain wins, then i get to see the person i'd rather see in office not to mention the joy of seeing the femenists self-destruct. it's nice that more people are now seeing them for the phonies they always were. femenism was never about women. at least not since the late 80s. if Obama wins, then i get to laugh as he's forced to break promise after promise as he slowly realizes the reality of the job he's undertaking. i also get to laugh in Democrats faces when all this talk of "Change" goes to shit. nothing is going to change. accept it. the system is far bigger than any of us and electing a well-spoken black man raised to godhood by his cult of followers isn't going to bring down the system we live in.

anyways. i'm back to blogging (again).

Amazing

Just watched the Americans kick some French ass. Hells yeah. That was one of the most amazing races I've ever seen. Certainly the greatest swimming race I've ever seen.
