Exactly one year ago TODAY, I was released from jail. Since that time, I have accomplished:
-Well, in all honesty, about 4 months sitting at this infernal machine trying to catch up on everything I missed whilst I was in there.
-I acquired the most wonderful woman in the world. My soulmate, really.
-I have rebuilt relationships with the only people who really matter in my life - My parents, sister, and the rest of my family. AND my real friends. those who stuck with me through it all.
-I have made some new friends that I would die if I lost their friendship.
-I have written about 5 chapters in a little quazi-autobiography.
-I've begun college, and have a 4.0 gpa and perfect attendance.
-I've moved to Knoxville
-I've got my license back.
-I gots me a job!! BLING BLING FOR ADAM D!!!
-And last, but certainly not least, I'm clean for 18 months! Weeee!

hehe. Gosh. What a difference a year makes!


Okay. anyway. So, tonite is treat-er-tricking. I carved a punkin'. I made a CD of scary songs and shit. I'm dressin up as a cowboy, Peacemaker and all! And, me and Danni are gonna hand out treats, so she's gonna dress up, too.

Well, I got some more decoratin' and shit to do, soo.... Peace ya'll.

Sometimes I wonder…

Thursday, October 14th, 2004
Do I just look like a conservative or something? I mean, it's almost as if I have a sign on my head, and on my back that says "come and talk politics with me!!!" Not that I mind or anything, it gives me a chance to possibly convert the misguided. :)

I left work early today to go and have the clutch master-cylinder replaced on my truck, and while I was waiting I talked with one of the salesmen.. I don't exactly remember how we got to the subject of politics, local law enforcement, and the war on "nuisances" (refer to http://imao.us and scroll down a till you see If you hear the codeword, scream real loud! heading to see I'm talking about..) Anyway, we sat there and talked while I waited, and for about ten minutes after they called my name. I had a good time, and it made an hour pass like ten minutes...

The reason I wonder if I might act or look like a "war-mongering, gun-totin'" Repug is that even though I don't remember exactly how we ended up talking about it, that salesman brought the topic up by saying "Bush really clobbered Kerry in the debate last night, didn't he?" Of course, I replied "Yes, sir. He surely did..."

When I left, he walked over to my truck with me and told me that it was wonderful talking to me, even though he had probably lost a few customers to other salesmen, and that I was far more intelligent than I looked. (I laughed real hard at that. Still not sure if that's a compliment or an insult... Ahh God...) He asked me what I did for a living, and I told him about school and my dead-end job I'm at right now.. He said "That's a shame. You should've gone into politics." Yeah. Right...


Anyway, I need to finish pickin' up around the apartment. Next week is our fall break, and by God, I'm on my way home right after class tonite! YAHOO!!

In the words of the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne - "MAMA!! MAMA, I'M COMIN' HOME!!!"

I soooo can't wait.. I just hope that the trees haven't peaked yet... Peace, love, and chicken grease...

Somethings just PISS ME OFF!

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004
Okay. So, I was watching Discovery Times channel this morning. A show called "The hunt for Osama Bin Laden" was on, and a short segment in the show reminded me of something that I had forgotten amist all the news from Iraq and the presidential campaigns. A few months after Operation Anaconda started, local Afghan war-lords gave a U.S. Commander some "faulty" info, and in turn, that commander ordered an air strike on a location rumored to be a meeting spot for Taliban and al Qaeda leaders. As it turns out, a wedding was taking place there.

On this show, they were following the 101st Airborne Infantry Division, and the 10th Mountain Division. They also interviewed locals on how it was affecting them. One young man was commenting on this "wedding party" strike, and was crying. I had sympathy at first. I mean, hey. I'm not heartless. 25-30 members of that party were killed, and about 70 were injured by the strike. But soon after that, I got to thinking. How is it ANY DIFFERENT that we "crashed the party" than them hijacking 4 air liners, flying those fully fueled, fully occupied air liners into three buildings and one hay field, killing the passengers on board, 100+ at the Pentagon, and 3000+ at the World Trade Center? There are two main differences that come to mind:
- We weren't necessiarily INTENT on killing innocents at that "meeting place" (and, I'm positive that there were high-profile al Qaeda leaders at that party. Hell, they ran that country.)

- They should have EXPECTED intrusion. I mean, damn, you got a wedding party going on, with an ENTIRE INFANTRY DIVISION, part of another INFANTRY DIVISION, and about 5000 Marines, not to mention troops from England, Spain (at that time,) Austrailia, and Canada with a blood lust for anything that might give them a bit of closure on 9/11. All this happening within a 100 mile proximity. Lord, they can't be that stupid.

I'm sure that there are other differences such as the methods used, but it all boils down to using like-tactics. You cant fight guerillas and terrorists using any rules of engagement. We learned that much and a helluva lot more from Vietnam. Why give them Geneva protection if they aren't going to give us the same? It's bullshit!! And before you say it, no, we're not uncivilized like them, but GOD, something has to give! If they aren't scared that we are going to use those tactics, they'll have no reason to ever quit!

I say, "Boo hoo hoo, young afghan-radical muslum-probable al Qaeda-evil man. You killed ours, we'll kill all of you. Cry me a river..."


Okay. Just had to rant a little bit there. Be prepared for another'n soon, as I am going to use my free rental at Hollywood video to get Farenheit 9/11 (and am going to rent FarenHYPE 9/11.) I'm sure it'll piss me off enough to write something like this about that, too.

Good day all.
