holding my breath, hoping that giving this girl a second chance doesnt cost me my soul...i'm pretty sure she realizes now what an awesome guy i am and how lucky she was, maybe she will treat me better....

 

on a even brighter note, preparing a schedule for when i get back home, setting myself up for financial success.

got on this crazy diet...i think im starting to lose fat, though i havent dropped a pound yet according to the scale. 20-30 minutes of lifting, followed immediately by an hour of elliptical, and sets of 30 pushups throughout the day. wanting 6 pack abs...cut ALOT of sodium, carbs, and fat out of my diet, hoping to see results by august.

Yea I know, I am late to the party. But we rented "Life of Pi" from Redbox last night. Visually stunning movie, thought provoking, and a great "Tip" on story telling. One of my favorite films. right up there with "The right stuff" and "Empire Strikes back"

 

Also got Borderlands 2 via steam. Quite fun and enjoyable "Loot" FPS. Playing as the Assassin Zero, which reflects my play style. Sniping and Stealth, followed by Cloaking and Melee attack

I'm now officially an award winning graphic designer. Next year, if they assign me again, which they better because I ****ing won you an award damnit, I'm gunning for a best in class award.

 

I feel weird taking so much credit because it really was a team effort, but I did lead the design and a ton of the stuff that got cited as a reason we won was my idea.

Good job!

 

The weather around here sucks. Kind of a crappy holiday weekend. Still... if my back was in better condition, I'd be out trying to do something.

 

Instead, I'm catching up on movies, books, and games.

Things I learned while playing Kerbal Space Programme:

 

1) Rocket Science is HARD

 

2) Fuel weighs a lot.

 

3) It takes a lot of fuel to break into orbit

 

4) Piloting a space craft is HARD.

 

So far, the body count is 12 Kerbal Citizens have lost their lives.

Cracken, I just downloaded the demo. Flying in space isn't that hard if you know what you are doing, and knowing how limited you are on what you do. Fuel and rocket technology is one of the reasons our space program hasn't done much. They say that with the old space shuttle, it could expend all of it's onboard fuel and only be able to change it's orbit inclination by 3 degree's. Tho it would be nice if you could have a spot on the Nav ball that would help you target for a stable orbit

 

I was able to reach orbit with the 2 stage demo ship with boosters on the 2nd try and only about a 3% eccentricity. my perihelion was just under 80k and my aphelion was around 500k. I was quickly able to notice that there was no atmospheric drag slowing me down. So my guy went EVA, and due to my lack of EVA experience quickly got separated and lost in space

bought a nice green tshirt today and a pair of shorts. :)

 

I'm getting annoyed on facebook, everybodys thanking soldiers that are alive and not the ones that are dead. memorial day is to honor those service members that died, veterans day is to honor those that served, and armed forces day is for everyone that served or is serving. how hard is it?!

Nice going, Nute!

 

Thanks. I'm really proud of it, but strangely reluctant to show it to anyone (even though its a public document!) because I feel so self conscious about it.

 

Plus my negativeness knows no bounds and I only see the warts and scars all over it. I always know I can do better. That and I know where the spots are that...ideas were turned down or some things just didn't work the way we were hoping or whatever.

 

Figure it's probably worth a couple thousand the next time I'm job hunting and have it on my resume though.

Because it is easy. It is easy to support the warrior, but harder to support the war. People buy a magnetic yellow ribbon and think they support troops, but they don't know how little support troops get after their service. it is hard to thank a person who is dead, and why they made the ultimate sacrifice and how.

it's not that hard, just thank their families, visit memorials, little things like that. i dont think i'll get much support when i get back stateside, it will be boring life as usual, only this time i'll have money in the bank, won't have to work, college paid for. i'm really looking forward to coming home and hopefully starting a better life for myself.
