What Will They Think of Next?

There has to be something in the water in the land Down Under. I got the scoop from

Stanley

over at Barking Moonbat EWS that there are going to be some Koran-destroying toilets popping up over in Sale, Victoria, Australia. Go over there to check it out.

I'm sad and angry

All right, now I'm really depressed. I finished my history final a couple of hours ago. Which means NO MORE FUN ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS!!!!! WAAAAAH!!! I really did have fun in that class. Say what you will about my crush from hell, but I really am a history nut.

Also, I had to go to Fort McCoy over the weekend. I shot a lot of rounds, and did what we call WTT (Warrior Task Training). It was mostly just doing stuff like dealing with the media, treating a casualty suffering from shock, and maintaining an M-16. That stuff was easy.

Now on to some news. I am really ticked about the whole bullshit about

Newsweek

The reason should be sort of obvious. They made up a stupid story about interrogators flushing a copy of the Koran down a toilet in order to break insurgents.

For one thing, that just ain't possible without having to call the plumber and getting a huge bill, as

Frank Salvato

learned in an experiment.Secondly, they made it up without knowing who the source was. I was a one-time aspiring journalist, and I think that is the MOS that I'm going to relcass to (I'll get to that in a minute), and once thing I learned from doing reports and all that is that if you don't where you information about something, you don't inlcude it.

Now on to me reclassifying. That means, in other words, changing your MOS (Military Occupational Specialty- in other words, your job in the Army, in this case). I have to change it because my current one, Administrative Specialist (secretary, in other words) is being phased out, and being changed to a civilian occuapation.

FUN! FUN! FUN!

I'm just recovering from last night. Barb (aka annoyinglittletwerp)and yours truly went to go see U2 live at the United Center last night. It was a blast, just like it was when I went on October 15, 2001, on the last leg of their Elevation Tour. Well, I must say they've done it again with the Vertigo Tour. Even though so much about me has changed between then and now (I'm going to college, I've gone through two lackluster jobs, and I've joined the Army), they still made me feel like I did four years ago, like a giddy seventeen-year-old kid. It's a wonderful feeling, despite being exhausted (I didn't get back home until 1 A.M., and I had class at 8 A.M. the next morning) and my ears and my knee still hurting (from the loud music and standing so long). I'll put up the setlist when I am able to jog my memory a bit more.

Well, in other news, finals is upon us, and I just know I'm going to be depressed after the history final (I had fun, believe it or not, in that class). With the other two, I'm just going to be grateful it's all overwith.
