Christmas Time!

Wow. I love the holidays! Just so much frenzied playing and partying and people you don't see often but who get you so excited and happy and playful!

I wish it was Christmastime everytime!

frickin' awesome

just found this out... "since California’s passing of AB 50, the state is not in compliance with the US Constitution’s 2nd and 14th Amendments, and we will not sell nor service any of our products to any Government agency of the State of California."

That is possibly the awesomest thing ever. Won't let your citizens have .50 caliber rifles California? OK, you can't either. Apparently the LAPD sent one of their 82 series rifles to Barrett firearms for servicing while officially supporting the passage of the law that makes it illegal for civilians to buy them. Not only did Barrett refuse to service the rifle, he wouldn't even send it back. The LAPD had to send someone to pick it up. Do yeah, awesome. Buy Barrett rifles. (By the way, if anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas...)

Army stuff

I finally shot expert with my rifle (hooray!) after more than two and a half years in the army. If you think that sounds pathetic, well maybe it is but screw you anyway. I actually haven't had that many chances to qualify at ranges that really worked (two or three.)
Also I get to shoot a Mk 19 (full auto 40mm grenade launcher) on Monday.
Guns are cool.

Look before you Leap

This whole internet dating thing seriously should be approached with more caution than I appear to be capable of, despite my knack for moderately accurate snap judgements of character. There is so much to be said for meeting people in person before you go out on a blind date, or worse, commit to a whole weekend with them! Things are never what they seem. No joke.
