There were alot of storms last night and about 14 people have been pronounced dead. Which sucks in all and I feel for them, but damn it I don't care. I just got an email telling me to "Pack my ruck" and that I was on "Standby". What the hell man. Really what do they think we can do about it. I could see activating the Regular Line Companies, but why the Scout/Sniper platoon? We aren't trained on how to handle looters.

Our job is specific, find enemy, kill enemy, call in bombs on enemy. That's it. Something tells me we won't be allowed to do that here, besides that I know we don't get ammo. I'm not about to go into Orlando, specifically OBT without a fucking gun. I don't even go to the clubs there without a gun. It wouldn't be all that bad if I knew we'd be allowed to fire on hostile people, but I know the ROE and we won't be able to do shit except get shot. Come to find out the army couldn't shoot people during Katrina, well this is alot less then Katrina and I know the gangs of Orlando. I'm screwed.

Second, I have gray hairs. I know I'm 19 years old and I have gray hairs. Truth is I've been going gray since I was about 12, but I actually have more then 30 pieces of gray hair in my head. My life hasn't always been easy but damn it why am I the only one with gray hair. None of my aunts have gray hair yet and my sister is still black and she's shared the same life so I know something's wrong with me. Does anyone know anything about the grayness?

Or the Army did. Either way, I'm not broken or at least as much of a dick as I was. Some of you may not have noticed, some of you may have. Whatever, I'm fixed.

To be straight in honest I have multiple personalities. I'm not talking full blown Schizophrenia or anything, it's just that I change according to what I'm doing/environment. I'm naming them for convience not because I've actually named them. For the most part it's three personalities, Joe-Doesn't care about stuff, fun loving flirt(The one you know), Joseph- The serious one who gets the job done and actually cares about people and things(Maybe 4 of you know me when I'm like this), and finally the third one which is -Aggressive, angry, violent, Mission Only.

The problem was that I usually just go into the personality when it's necessary, but recently the 3rd one has been coming out at Church or when I should be flirting. Not Good for my game, cause hey no one likes a guy with a scowl on his face. Anyway I tried meditating, praying, talking about it, excercising to the point of exhaustion and tons of other stuff. None of it was working, then I had drill this weekend.

I only go into 3 when I'm doing military or extremely tasking things that require me to be on my game. So I went out this weekend, kicked @$$ and took some names and was completely relaxed when I came back home. So I thought about it and I realized that I hadn't done anything military related in about 7-8 weeks and I had alot of pent up aggression. So that's why I was a dick, or at least more so the last few weeks.

Uh... Thanks for wasting 5-10 minutes of your life reading this.

Wolf
Genera and species: Canis lupus
Collective Term: A pack of wolves

Description
The rugged wolf is athletic, good-looking and brims with self-confidence. A close relative of the domestic dog, it is stronger and more aggressive, managing to generate notoriety wherever it marks its territory. The wolf's dark reputation is mainly due to jealousy of its consistent success in work and romance. A wolf in full stride is quite impressive. Firing orders at subordinates while on the phone to customers -- no one can get the job done quite as efficiently as the wolf.

With an innate understanding of the value of teamwork, it's always ready to take its place in the chain of command -- either as leader or as simply a member of the pack. When a wolf decides to innovate, it makes sure that it has the backing of a capable team. In many ways, President Bush is an example of a wolf who owes much of his success to his team of lawyers, advisors, and supporters. This wolf is clear-headed and strong-minded -- always willing to compromise in the interests of getting a job done.

The wolf insists on fidelity from its mate, but even after its partner has sworn its devotion, the wolf must battle its canine hormones that drive it to distraction. On the positive side of the ledger, the wolf makes a gallant effort to remain faithful; satisfying its haunting need for romance through its strong platonic friendships. (At least that's what we're told) Deep down though, the wolf is still a puppy dog and its controlled exterior often masks a sentimental emotional core.

Wolves are facially expressive and readily communicate their emotional states with body language. They work hard at developing their social relationships, although, unlike their cousin the dog, they are quick to anger when they sense threats to the social order. When confrontations occurs, they sometimes react suddenly and violently, barking displeasure at offending subordinates. Close companions know to avoid their biting tongue until they resume their normal gregarious behavior.

Friendly and generous with those they consider to be peers, they have a tendency to show scant regard to those beneath them on the food chain. Sheep, deer, cottontails, prairie dogs and other small mammals are thus advised to show them appropriate respect, or risk being overwhelmed by their aggressive natures.

The wolf pulls no punches when communicating with its peers, for there is nothing that a wolf detests more than a yes-man. The truth must be told and damn the consequences. Those unable to handle its steely straightforward style are quickly relegated to the rear of the pack, while those who demonstrate courage are allowed to run alongside. Lions, eagles, wild dogs, tigers and bears are among the wolf's first choices as teammates in the race of life.

So here's the problem.

So I was in the gym today doing my quaterly test. Basically I workout for about 3 months straight with a certain goal in mind and then do a standard test to see my improvement. Well I did it today and I was more then disappointed in the results. First off my goals were to be hitting a ratio of 1.8 for my bench and increase in physical size also. I wanted to get an 8 pack for my abs and speed my run up to a 12 min. two mile. Well here's what happened.

I put up my weight and came to this a 1.625 ratio. Your ratio is done by your weight, so I'm at 160 lbs. right now and I'm lifting 260 right now. That is about 30 lbs. underneath my goal weight and I wanted it by New Years, the reason is I'm going out of town next Tuesday, which means there is no way I can reach my goals. My run is horrible, I was doing 13 minutes and because of the weight I've been putting on, no matter how much I run(5 miles or so a day)my body's not used to the new weight, I'm still moving slowish, for me, at 12:50. My 8 pack is no where near complete and I can barely feel the muscles appearing. Which is ridiculous because I work my abs for at least an hour a day everyday.

So I'm pissed and I have no idea how to fix it, I've changed my workout about two times in this quarter, but I don't know what to do. If I want to increase my lifting capabilites I'm going to have to put on more weight, which means a slower run time until I get used to the weight, I still look like I weigh 140 lbs. and my ab workouts can't get more intense without physically hurting myself.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Tuesday I gave blkros a kidney (1000 points). In November I turned andrea_sins in for running naked in the mall (3 points). Last Thursday I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). In September anrui_shino and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). In June I punched morrighangw in the arm (-10 points). Overall, I've been nice (1330 points). For Christmas I deserve a toy train! Sincerely, iamjoethis2read

That is all.

I've come to the conclusion that it may not have been the most intelligent idea to name myself: iamjoethis2read. In fact, it may possibly have been one of the most retarded things I've done, besides being a democrat from 8th-9th grade. Anyway besides that nonsense, I need to find out how to change my name, because this crap is not going to do.

Anyway since I haven't seen Em on for the a couple of days I'm pretty sure she's off... doing something. So if she reads this or if anyone reads this, tell her that I need her to post on this thing so that I can keep my account. Which by the way is quite gay, I should be able to not post for as long as I want.

Leave your name and:

1. I'll respond with something random about you
2. I'll challenge you to try something
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you
4. I'll tell you something I like about you
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours
