Me

It is 12.40am I am very tired tonight. I slept from 9.30a to 4.45p but I guess it was not enough. I must have pushed it to hard last weekend and it has all caught up with me tonight. It is going to be a long shift!

Bike Ride Today…

Mark and I went to Pocahontas Park and did the Lake View 1&2 trails. We parked at the Quala Lot. If you park there, it will add 2+ miles to the ride as Lake View Trails are on the other side of the park. We had a good ride and it totaled 12.01 miles today. On Friday, we did the Blue and Double Red Trail with a mileage of 7.01. So for the weekend I got in 19 miles! We are supposed to go back to Pocahontas next weekend and have a friend join us for the ride…

Laters…

Dc Metro Pics...

We started out trip to go to the Black Cat Club in West Falls Church and we took the Dc Metro to get to our end destination at U Street. We saw Tiger Army, Street Dogs and The Static Age.

The concert was very good and Street Dogs took the show. They had so much energy and stage presence. It was just incredible. The lead singer Mike McColgan was the original Dropkick Murphy's from Boston Massachusetts and we got to go and talk to him after the show. He was really down to earth and fun to chat with. The Street Dogs' drummer Joe Sirois was from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It was a really fun show and I am glad that i was able to go to it.

Way TO GO Nancy Pelosi!!!

It must be a great day to be Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. She is a Demoncrat. The could not get the sufficient amount of votes and support to bring the boys home from Iraq, so what a better way to do it then to alienate one of the biggest partners in the war! The Turkish people are all mad as hell at the USA and protesting to their government.

WAY TO GO YOU IGNORANT WOMAN!!

Who really gives a big rats ass about a war that took place nearly 100 years ago in a country that was none of our concern. I mean genocide was thought to be bad for many years before that, Hitler tried to do it and was stopped. It was generaly recogonized that it was bad after him, but Israel did it many thousands of years before this little war took place in Turkey and we do not condemn them.

Armenian Genocide
"The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Հայոց Ցեղասպանութիւն ("Hayoc' c'ejaspanut'iwn"), Turkish: Ermeni Soykırımı) — also known as the Armenian Holocaust, Great Calamity (Մեծ Եղեռն "Mec Ejer'n" ) or the Armenian Massacre — was the forcible deportation and massacreof hundreds of thousands to over 1.5 million Armenians during the government of the Young Turks from 1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Empire.

It is widely acknowledged to have been one of the first modern, systematic genocides, as many Western sources point to the sheer scale of the death toll as evidence for a systematic, organized plan to eliminate the Armenians. The event is also said to be the second-most studied case of genocide. To date twenty-two countries have officially recognized it as genocide. The government of the Republic of Turkey rejects the characterization of the events as genocide."

Their own government does not even recognize that this happened and all she did by trying to get the resolution passed was piss them off. They were a secret allies of Israel and they let nearly 75% of the supplies go through their country to the war in Iraq. I guess that she and the democrats got what they were looking for. Now they can say "Our troops do not have sufficient supplies to continue the war and then really need to be brought home. All she did was try to weaken a countries resolve and hurt a nation. This was a most childish show of power and i for one think that she should step down as speaker. This has been going on for the whole term of Bush and just now when they are no getting their way try to push it through congress? She need a good swift kick in the ass and put out of office. What a dumb bitch for doing this now...

I do not advocate the actions of Turkey, but i do not care. IT happened many years ago and most of the people that might have been in it are dead. Let bygones be bygones shall we? We need their support and pleasure do not let one stupid woman ruin the friendship of the Turkish peoples.

The doldrums of Fall…

 

I am very tired today as my sleep was interrupted several times today. Not much going on here in my life. It is a stable routine here. I go to work get off go to bed around 9.30am and sleep till about 4.30pm.  In one respect I am home more with not having to start work till midnight. When the wife gets in from work around 6pm-ish, we go to the gym or at least try to every other day.  Tomorrow I am going to DC to a concert with Mark and perhaps on Sunday, we will ride at Buttermilk, but I will have to get some sleep for work that night. I was just dead on last Sunday Night/Monday Morning.  It killed me! Trying to get used to going to work at 12-midnight is very different from the 12.5 hour shifts that I used to work. You would think that an 8 hour shift would be a cakewalk but it gets difficult around the 5am to 7am range. I leave work at 7am and I have a 27 mile commute back to my house.  I have a shorter drive than before, but I work longer.  Fall is a strange time because there are no major holidays and you have several months until there is one.  You have Halloween, but that is not a “true” holiday unless you are a pagan.  Thanksgiving is the only real holiday in the Fall, then it is winter and Christmas is next unless you are like me and have your wife’s birthday in December, then your wedding anniversary the next week and then Christmas four days later.  December is a very busy month for me.  We will not be able to go home this Christmas because of work schedules. I do however have a trip to Texas in November for my brother’s wedding and I am looking forward to that. It will be in Austin Texas and I will be with my paternal family for that event. It will be nice to see them all. Well I guess that this is enough of me rambling on f rot he moment…

DC in 2 days!!!!

Well folks, on Friday mark and I are off to go see Tiger Army!  I am very excited to see them and it should be a fun night up there.  We hope to be able to go ridding Friday before we drive up there. I need to go and workout tonight as I missed doing any activity yesterday but sleep and work.  It is strange that 8 hour shifts are kicking my butt at the moment. I guess that it was from the week that I was back on day shift. I have been on nights a total of 6.5-7 months and  looks like I will be on them for an extended period again. I am home more because my shift starts at 12am, midnight.  I guess that is why I am messed up at the moment. Well, more laters…
