What's Making You Happy Today?

I'm back to normal now. I guess it was dodgy shrimp, oysters or salmon that put me under and into the emergency room. My family does has a history of stroke but apparently all the drinking and clove cigarettes isn't putting me under yet. Blood pressure is slightly lower and heart rate is normal. Of course I have a chorus of people urging me to see a neurologist, cardiologist, and even a psychiatrist (stress). Me, I'd prefer to have a scotch.
 
Some of the best money you can spend in a redneck bar is surreptitiously palmed to the mechanical bull operator. Just sayin'.

To wreck the fat chicks, the douchebags, and yes, occasionally your friends.

Also, a twenty palmed to the guy can make you look like a god incarnate on that thing.
 
^^ I'm often told that I'm not really applying myself, but then I see something like that and realize that the world is probably better off for it.

Fuck that. Looking at those people's reactions was TOTALLY worth it.
 
Applied myself, today. "Heterogeneity and Systems Theory in Maneuver-Level Intelligence: The Case for Scalable Force Modularity in Military Intelligence Fusion."

Enjoying a well-deserved bourbon.

Now, where to publish?

Is this that book you were working on?

Why not publish through Amazon and do it yourself? Since this is a military thing, isn't there a military journal?

Also, what kind of bourbon? You know better than to leave out these important details.
 
No, this is just something I've been kicking around for a few days. It's just a paper, 1,200 words on what's fucked up about the new force generation paradigm and how to fix it.

There are military journals, but most of the words are way too big for military writing. Plus, they don't publish papers by sergeants. I'll probably just print it out and stick it on the bulletin board at my unit.

I'm drinking JB Devil's Cut, on ice.
 
In retrospect, I'm going to say that it was in fact the best kebab I've ever had. It helped that it was consumed in the traditional manner too: whilst walking home late at night after drinking since 6. I'll get another one from the same place some day and post pics in the awesome thread.

Did some trail running this morning and found chanterelles. Goddamn, I love living in the country.
 
Came back from church this morning and found a pheasant on my barbecue grill, just hanging out. Talk about a self-correcting problem.

By the time I got my bow he was gone.

Could've eaten him with the chanterelles.
 
Got an astonishing offer from another unit, one I did some work with last year. They've initiated paperwork to lateral me into a position two pay grades higher than where I am now -- comes with a bump in rank -- working with their senior staff. If this goes through, my military career will involve brainstorming in a small room with other eggheads and consuming good coffee and Danish one weekend a month until about 2016. No more obstacle courses, no more helicopters, no more camels, no more blood chits. I can finally unpack my ruck.

My commander may squash it; I'm his Golden Boy. But this has been a really good few days.

tagut's facebook moment is making me happy today

I make an effort to make others happy.
 
This cheesy $2 mood ring that I picked up at a drug store. It has stars around it! It's tacky and juvenile as all hell but nobody seems to notice, so I get a weird subversive joy from it.
 
Got a snippet of good news today. Something that I've been fighting for for a LONG time will finally come to fruition. Its the first good news to come down the pike in a very long while. Now to see how it pans out.

Apparently, I need to qualify this. Its not the gay thing. I'd sooner take it up the ass from Lexington Steele than I would have to be stuck in the same room as that guy.

Anyone know if his back slapping has cooled off on SF?
 
I attended La Boheme the other night. I still have some of the arias in my head.
 
Toronto. No special tenors. At least ones I would know. I wore black tie. There were a few attempts at it with no waist covering and some creative bow ties. One chap with a walking stick wore white tie. Impressive for a Wednesday night. I live close by so I can change but I don't even know where to buy white tie.
 
No, sorry mate. I can't bring myself to sneaking photographs of another man at an opera. Besides, he looked like he was attending by himself and I was with company so I'd rather not reveal that I am bisexual or something of that sort.

I am off to London in the second half of November. However, I prepaid for everything so I'm down half a pay cheque when I blew most of the pay cheque already. Mid month can't come sooner.
