I probably posted on this thread a long time ago, but anyways, here's my list: France Belgium Netherlands Germany Japan China South Korea Australia United Arab Emirates India Oman Qatar Afghanistan I'm not counting Kuwait and Kyrgyzstan as that I didn't get off the bases there in-transit between Afghanistan and the US. I'd love to count Ireland and Iceland, but that was just refueling stops between Afghanistan and the States. I'm not counting the USA because . . . duh . . . I live here. EDIT: This just crossed my mind. Can I list the fictional countries I've been to?

Currently listening to Green Day's "American Idiot" album. Great music, but still don't understand what story they were trying to tell.

Sounds familiar. What's it from?

2007 Toyota Corolla Sport. Bought it when I got back from my deployment to Afghanistan in 2007. First car I owned that only had a few miles on it (every other one had over 100,000 miles on it). Just hit the 100,000 mile mark this last Thanksgiving.

I thought that was what we're talking about: the ascent on the second tower. Did I miss something obvious?

This probably goes without saying, but I should at least admit to it . . . I have a perverse pleasure in hurting and/or killing people I don't like in the stories that I write. Some would say that I'm blowing off steam. Many believe I have some anger issues. And still, there are a few that think I really intend to hurt them . . . I may be crazy, but at least I know the difference between fantasy and reality.

AMEN!!! Of course, I do need to add: RUM. RUM. RUM.

^ Already been done, long before Sharknado came around. It was Saturday Night Live's land-shark sketches.

^ Even with those factors, that 415 foot ascent would still be too short, in my opinion. That car will pick up a lot of energy during its decent, and Newton's Laws of Physics says its not going to be easily stopped. Those brakes would have to be perfectly maintained. I'd hate to see a brake failure on that thing, let alone be the poor fool in the car when it happens. I would say another hundred feet would be a bit more realistic. Of course, I'm not really factoring in the push against gravity as the car climbs upwards, mostly because I only understand the simplest of the concepts. That's the kind of math that hurts my brain. Still, I can't help but wonder the kind of G-forces that car will pull once it reaches the bottom . . .

Or.........................smoked up......................... Seriously! Sober is not the way to watch the Sharknado movies! Do you how many times I watched them solely because I couldn't remember what happened the next day? Well, actually I never re-watched them, and it's only the second one that I can't remember much about. But still.

I find myself enjoying Katy Perry. I don't know why . . .

^ Your is the last thing I wanted to see!

Wait till it comes out on Netflix. Don't pander to the stupid drivel Hollywood likes to spew out by buying a ticket. While it would be nice to see something on the big screen about the Egyptian mythology, Hollywood's treatment of all the different mythologies has been really crappy over the past number of years--which is a real crime because they are full of wonderful and interesting stories. I do like watching the occasionally bad movie, but I usually wait till they show up on Netflix or such. That way I can get hammered watching them. They are so much more fun drunk.

^ Somehow, I can totally see you singing that . . .

Ever have one of those days when you wish everyone around you springs into a spectacularly choreographed dance number to a rousing upbeat motivational song? Yeah. It's not one of those days.

It was Coke Zero. And I had several last Saturday. Of course that Coke Zero had Amaretto in it . . . or Bacardi Black Razz . . . or the concoction known as "Long Island Iced Tea" . . .

Drill Weekend. Believe me, I would rather ride the worst SLC ever built for those two days instead. What's worse than living at the bottom of an outhouse?

At least I got my credits there. Oh, wait. I don't keep a coaster count . . .

Browsing through this topic, I can't help but think of Universal Studios Dubailand. The gate to the park is built, but nothing else.

^ "Deadpool" was awesome!!! Stay away from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny", especially if you loved the original "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The fight scenes, while decent, really lacked the acrobatic and imaginative style of the original. Characters weren't fleshed-out and lacked any kind of emotion attachment (to each other AND the audience). Sets were cheap looking and some of the backgrounds looked suspiciously painted or computer generated. The story itself was a bit generic, almost rehashing the original movie at several points. I really like Michelle Yoeh, but this clearly wasn't one of her good movies. And more annoying, it didn't even look as if she was trying. Gave this movie 1-star on Netflix.

Just finished listening to Pink's "Great Hits . . . So Far" Album. Love the fact that Apple discontinued the iPod Classic several years ago and the darn thing won't sync with the new version of iTunes. I get to rebuild my playlists! (At least I'm enjoying listening to music I haven't heard in a while because they weren't attached to any playlists when my computer dies a few years ago.

^ Hate it when that happens. Yeah, I missed this place. I'm glad to be back annoying the hell out of people.

I must, once again, state that the news of my death has been grossly exaggerated. Just because my computer died some three and a half years ago, doesn't mean I died with it. And no, my computer didn't die from a demolition accident. It died laughing when I tried to delete my browser history.

Wow. That's not what I wanted for my fifteen minutes of fame on TPR. I certainly won't find a better souvenir on this trip than this plate.

Title Fairy, Please may I have a title that says: Happily lost in my own world. Thank you very much.
