   My Wog Day Part 1

	Thanks for the comments guys, you know who you are, my loyal subjects, if Kernville was actually a kingdom, I would give you all a title like duke or something like that. But here is what happened around five tonight. We have a 1MC, it's how words get passed around the ship like an intercom. Well usualy when an officer of a high status comes onboard, we ring him on with four bells, or rear admiral gets six. Then following the bells we get a title of the big wig. So for example, whenever my captain come onboard, you hear four bells and then "Okane, Arriving." Well out of nowhere over the 1MC, four bells rang out and then "Davey Jones, Arriving." I said what the hell. All the sudden I hear a scotish type accent saying "You have ventured into the teratory of King Neptune, what ship is this?" Then our Captain almost in fear cries out "The is the ship known as The Okane." Then Mr. Jones replies "I come with news from my lord, this ship is being summoned to Laditude 0 by King Neptune, to wash off all the slimey Polly Wogs onboard." "Ohh please have mercy on my crew Mr. Jones, my awesome crew, and please be especialy mericiful to my executive officer and YNC." "None shall be sparred come morning, morrow will be a day to remember." The four bells rang again and "Davey Jones, departing" came over again. So by now you are wondering what is going on right? Tomorrow is the Crossing The Line ceremony. An unofficial Navy tradition when a ship crosses the Equator. All the crew who has crossed the line before has been recognized by King Neptune and his loyal subjects as worthy and gains the title of Shellback. All those who have not are known as dirty, slimey Polly Wogs or Wogs for short. So it is now our turn to prove ourselves to the lords of seven seas that we are worthy of being in this secret society of sailors and salts. King Neptune, Davey Jones, and the Shellbacks get to harras us until we're crying for it to end or until we make it to the finish and become honorary shellbacks as well. So I have no idea what to expect but it makes me appreciate the Navy that much more. So this is part one, tomorrow I hope to have part two of what happens next. So far my group of three guys, Me, Aaron, and Ben are going to face the trials ahead to prove we're fit to sail the seas and make ourselves worth something to King Neptunes. Our group, Boys In The Closet, won't fail, prepare to see a new face in the Shellback club! Tomorrow, I make the Sea my bitch!!! ~_^ Current Song: Everlong by The Foo Fighters The Dark Rose Enigma (WOG) ~~<@ Somebody wants you. Somebody needs you. Somebody dreams about you every single night. Somebody can't breathe. Without you it's lonely. Somebody hopes that one day you will see that somebody's me.

   The Man of Many Quotes

	Thanks for the comments Kelsey and Sinny, I look foreward to reading my comments everyday and you two are my biggest fans, gracias! Day Nada! And hello to my newest friends, welcome to the lair! So here is a question fellow Otakus, Is it bad to be able to quote a lot of things or to use quotes in everyday situations? I spoke with an Ex-girlfriend which is a treat all it's own, not, and she said that I quote too much. While I agree that I do quote a lot, I see it as being cultured and knowing a lot, almost like a different kind of wisdom. But she put it as being unoriginal and lame. But how? For one, when I describe my relationship with her in the past, I quote John Mayer's song Split-Screen Sadness, "All you need is love is a lie because we had love and we still said goodbye." Great quote, she hates it. Then whenever I buy things online, like I am going to talk about again in a few minuetes, I quote John Mayer (again) singing Something's Missing, "How come everything I think I need always comes with batteries, what do you think it means?" Is this a problem or do I seem intellegent? BTW, I don't always just quote Mr. Mayer, but his examples are the freshest ones. Now onto my latest purchase. Again, that same bomb ass site that I got all the Magic The Gathering stuff, well I explored it even further. Not only do they have other card games I like, they also had bored games I enjoy like Axis and Alies and Munchikin. Well then I realized I have played DnD but never led the games. So I decided to order the core books, a DnD for dummies book, new dice (3 sets), a dark blue bag to keep them in, character sheets, grids to play on, and a thing to hide my DM stuff all for about 100 bucks. SO AWESOME, although it's the new DnD, which I heard wasn't that great, I will just get good with this system and be the guy to run those types, no biggie. But I am stoked for it to get here. Well that's about it, recap. Is quoting bad or good? My website of goodies is incredible to fuel my nerd needs. And yea! Well team, tomorrow's another day, keep on keeping on, never give up the fight. You all rule!

   More Then A Man, An Ideal...

	So I'm watching the excellence that is Batman Begins, sadly I don't know if the Dark Knight is out or when it will be release since I am at sea, but there is a lot of inspiring things in there that make me want to become more then all this preach that I give over my posts. So here is what inspired me. "If you make yourself more then a man. If you devote yourself to an ideal and if they can't stop you then you become something else entirely...A Legend..." That is so awesome to me. I have an already furnished to code I live by, The Knight's Code, fortified by values like Courage, Honor, Justice, and Love, so why don't I stick true to them for now and always, not let anyone stop me, but as if I will let anyone try, and make myself known as what someone would consider a normal, run-of-the-mill guy into something more. Call me crazy and irresponsible but I can't be more motivated or determined to stay true to myself and maybe help others open there eyes to something like I believe. Maybe I am a little hopeful but I know I will never be forgotten, especialy by those who know me. Well enough of that, I picked up Fable 2 in my off time and let me say, I was a huge fan of Fable one and being the good guy, but this game tops it over 24 times. You can pick your outfit, dye it to your liking, have guns, have your dog help you offend people or pick up chicks (or dudes if you roll that way in the game as a guy or a guy hero), get jobs to help make gold, and become a saint or a demon in the process. Incredible is all I have to say. My guy looks like a noble from the 1800's with a long sword hanging from his back and a matchlock pistol he mainly uses to fight, this masked crusader know as Desperado and his trust canine companion Roofus fight crime with Hobbes, Bandits, and Beatles, to protect the citizens of Albion. Pretty sad I am already that into this game after two nights, but what are you gunna do right, I think its a reflection of my inner self. Go me! Last but not least, two additional packages on the way. With the extra mula I made while over in the Arabian Gulf, which sucks, I ordered from one site two Magic The Gathering Boster Boxes, one of Eventide and the other is Shards of Alara. Then I got from an even cooler site 500 Basic Land Cards, 5 theme decks in a set, 5 rare 9 inch porcilen figures of MTG cards, 7 deck boxes, a bunch of D20's with a burgendy bag to keep them in, 3 life counters, a drawer set the houses 800 cards in each of 12 drawers, and a carrying case to keep the Magic rolling. And what did I pay for all of these tresures, no more then 150 bucks if you can believe that, I am a very froogle person when it comes to nerd items. I can't be coned because I shop around. And now I hope it gets to me before we hit home otherwise I might be screwed and not have all my decked out stuff. So a recap, want to be a legend, I love Fable 2, and my Magic budget knows no limit, think I got it all. As always, keep reaching from the stars, they are always in your grasp, and be excellent to each other, party on guys!

   The Battle Begins!

	Well the critisism keeps coming but more harsh, and now I am forced to take action. Not the best way to start a new year but I guess you have to do what you have to do. Hate that things have to be this way but it can't be helped. As the "Knight's Code" calls for, A knight will never start a fight, but he will return fire when anything threatens him or that which he has vowed to defend. And since the first stone was cast at me, I decided to become aware, but now they keep coming. Like this little Jewel from a long time friend Tessa. "I am sorry but I can not trust you to do that, but by all means go ahead and kill your self. I mean hey your drinking too and that kills your brain in a way.. besides it does not matter what I say you never listen, and I could never stop you anyway I was just trying to be a good friend ... But that does not matter I guess, so go ahead live your life the way you want too I am not stopping you." It's a pretty crappy message but if that is how she feels, after I told her to trust me, then I have to take action. Luckly I have a unique tallent, I call it "Pulling a Howl." I have an uncanny ability to dissapear off of radar without a trace. It's simple for me as long as I feel cut off from the person, not saying it doesn't suck or I don't miss the person but I will not be around for you to channel anger around and through. Life is to short to have any grudges, and this way they can move on with life. Plus, no bridges get burned, just get unused for a while or in the worst case, never. But a time will give her and a few others time to clear there heads and make them realize I have committed no crime to be persecuted. I hope to tone down the negativity in the next post or two, I have less then a month before I am on a plane ride home to see my mom, dad, brother, and closest friends. I am stoked, so to get ready, I have been ordering lots of magic cards and a new cell phone because mine is El Broko! So we'll see if I see it before we "Land Ho" Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Well that is all I have for now, keep on rockin' in the free world and never stop being you! Life's a garden, dig it! ^^ And hopefully the next post or so I won't be in fighting knight mode.

   The Two Sides of the Same Coin

	So I think somewhere along the line when I decided I would like to become a writer, I had a few themes that I wanted to convey with my articulate tallent. First off was love overcoming space and time, second was that everyone has another side to them, not nessasarily an evil side but another side all together. Like the shy guy rising up for what he believes, the lonely girl longing for to be longed for and desired. And you see this theme commonly in Anime like Yugi Motou and Yami Yugi, Kenshin Himoura and Hitokiri Batosai, Lelouch and Zero, but it doesn't have to be an extreme change like those. So far I have had three people get mad because they say I have changed. And I have in my opinion, I've grown up and matured, not mature, but matured. I have stoped wasting time with things that stop me from being a good friend to others, or living my life for myself and not for other, by others standards or how society dictates you act to be accepted by others. And so I have made a couple people mad, and I was very kind in saying that I was sorry but I am not going to stop. It's like Batman, he can still be the hero but some people will see him as a villian, but he keeps on doing what he has to do to keep his vows to himself. I salute you Batman. I guess in short terms, go for broke when it comes to you. Don't let anyone tell you no, reach for the sky, nothing is impossible, and courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. Just remember you are still you, don't burn any bridges, but make sure they know you are crossing it and you can't be stoped. The world is always calling out to you to take the day and make it yours, will you answer that call. If so, I'll see you there. On a lighter note, I got one package today, my camcorder and it is awesome and small, I feel like a spy or something. I can't wait to record drunk moments of laughter, those are some of my favorite memories, the jokes, the feel of the company, and of course to recap any embarrasing moments for future blackmail, mhu hahahahah! I am finaly stepping up to fill my shoes and be a man and if they don't like the man I turned out to be, then you will get by without me. I have my family, my closest friends, my honor, my dignity, my pride, and Knight's Code. Maybe they need to find something to believe in instead of telling me how to live my life. I am 21 and the sky is at my fingertips. Well woot-dee-do, this was a long, important, one, sometimes you gotta just vent, and so I will. I hope all of you heed something in the least from this and live life, just live for everything about it, and make it yours. Break out and let that other side of you take over, it's going to be awesome, I promise. I'm Audi 5000! Current Song: In Between Lights by Ryan Cabrera The Dark Rose Enigma ~~<@ Somebody wants you.

   I want to party!

	So yea, originaly our deployment orders were supposed to have us home on the 19th of December, but A day before we left we got extended for 2 extra months. It sucks but that is the military for you, so if you don't adapt to changes like this very well, then don't join this job. I want to get back because I missed Christmas, New Years, and my 21st with friends and family. So when I get home I would like to chill out, have a few drinks at home and then when I got back to Hawaii to go out on the night scene with my friends Ryan, Aaron, and Wheels. Ryan is a Cali export like me and has taught me a lot about life. About the first love that cuts the deepest to enjoying a cigar with a few friends. I'd like to think I learn some safistication from him in anyway. I got the romantic part down, now to just add some style. Waiting on three packages. One has my Code Geass Models, the next has my new camcorder, and the last a buch of Magic the Gathering Cards, I missed a lot in 5 months so I gotta catch up. Maybe I will see something tomorrow when we get mail, maybe not, we will see. I wish I had more to say but I am strapped for words. Waiting for the princess as always but not lowering my gaurd because you never know. Keep your chins up and keep rocking.

   Back in action!

	Holy cow, it has been a long long couple of weeks and I am glad to be back. Our internet line got cut while in the Middle East and appearently this was a big world even that even affected Asia and Europe, we were just in the wrong place at the right time. So here is a recap on what you may have missed. Christmas and my birthday at sea. Christmas was great, we stuffed our smallest guy in a huge box and gave it to my Chief for Christmas, then we opened our secret santa presents, my Division Officer was mine and she got me Jelly Belly's (awesome), Sun Screen (Because I always borrow hers), and then Step Brothers on DVD because I gotta have my Will Ferril and John C. Riley fix! Awesome. Then the next day was my birthday and I got to sleep in, skip out on work all day, and not do really much of anything. New years eve, did something I never thought I would. I brought in the new year with a cuban cigar known as the "Romeo and Juliet." Fitting for my first cigar to be tittled after the starcrossed lovers I use as constant reference to. And I enjoyed it, not enough to be an adict because I think smoking is gross but I can't say I never did it. I brushed my teeth 3 times before I went to bed and washed my clothes profusely the next day. Well now that our internet is back, you can count on me checking in at least once every two days and I can't wait to hear from you all again. Hope you missed me, because I missed you.

   Damn Internet!!!!!

	So I totaly wrote whole fricken rant that took me about 30 minuetes to type out and then it didn't submit, so when I clicked back it was gone forever, that is such BS, anger, it's the 21st century stupid computer, learn to do your automated functions correctly. You've inspired me not to build a Roid Deck ever! Sorry Sirrus. Anywho, now I don't care about the rant, but I do care about my new peeps. Sinny and Kelsey, awesome always to hear from you two, and to Meagan, welcome to the funky bunch, hope to get to know you a little more as the days go by. Let's all enjoy a shot of laughter shall we? So I had a crappy internet connection yesterday so I couldn't post granted load a site period, so sorry that I couldn't get on, but feel free to shoot me an e-mail if it is that urgent and can't wait. I'll change it granted my location. Right now it goes to my ship e-mail but at home it will go to my home e-mail. Cool beans. So I don't think I can illustrate this enough but I have such an unhealthy addiction to the Backstreet Boys. I used to listen to them here and there growing up. But like just earlier this year I heard some of their new stuff and I really liked it, then when we went to Japan and had drunk Karoke, the bulk of it was BSB, so I actually got on Itunes and I own every BSB tune I could get my hands on. Their latest was only four of em because Kevin left the band after Never Gone, but he rejoined last month and now their new album is supposed to hit early next year, can't wait! Gay, who said that?! Well I need to go get my Magic on so stay cool cats, thanks for checking me out every so often, it makes the sea time go by faster, Bravo Zulu to you guys, word up!

   Chick Flick Night!

	So yea, last night was chick flick night. The once ever week or so where me and my friend Dawn grab a chick flick, some candy and sodas, and chill watching some girly movies. Last night we watched Made of Honor. Ohh Patrick Dempsy is awesome, loved him in Enchanted, loved him in this. I want to wear jeans and blazers like him, I could be one good lookin' stylish dude. We'll see if my budget can afford it. Update on the Yu-Gi-Oh conquest. I have taken a completely different route. Unlike the Tag Force 2 for PSP, which is competing for best Yu-Gi-Oh game next to Duelist of the Roses for PS2, it is really hard to get money and the cards you want. So for hours on end I was trying to get a Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, no dice! So now I am off to get Magicians, lots of Dark Magicians and friends, plus, I can be a way Punny-er duelist that way. Then once the Mage deck is complete, I got for a Kaiba deck, I gotta have my Blue-Eyes White Dragons, because Dragons are the best animal, both in reality and mythology, ok, inner nerd is coming out, lol. Other then that, pretty easy day, not a whole lot going on, got my 3rd Anthrax shot, which suck but at least I have an immunity, and I just got done with my Small Pox vaccination. If you ever have the chance to get that don't. It's like having a petre dish of disease on your arm, it pusses, it grows, it scabs up real nasty like, and then leave a lame scar forever. Ohh well, if I don't have a few scars, how are the ladies going to know I rule? That's what I thought. I am out, hope to be watching "This Ugly Yet Beautiful World" later tonight!

   Why so much work!

	So today has been unusualy busy. I had watch in the morning. Then in the middle of that, I had to go to a meeting in the Chief's Mess. After lunch I have to go to force protection traing, then to mid-term counseling so they can tell me how well I am doing, then to a PQS meeting, then after that I might have time to get some maintanance done on an AC unit. Gay! So hopefully I get a chance to just sit and be chill for a bit. I did have some time to chill last night, didn't use it to make some Yu-Gi-Oh madness (though I did leave the DS on all night so I can try and reach one hundred hours of game time which unlocks Ishizu on CPU Duel), But I did make a few play lists on the iTunes, watched an Episode of Sailor Moon Super S (With no Tuxedo Mask, damn it!), and then got some pics set up for my next wallie which probly won't make it to Otaku for a few reasons, let me explain in the next paragraph (scroll down for next paragraph) (Scroll up if you missed the previous direction in the previous paragraph) So like my poetry, I can only my walls when I am hit with inspiration. But more then to make just a great looking Wall, I gotta have some message, even if it is subliminal, I won't make it unless it is going to capture a little part of me in it. So I made one with Suzaku and Euphie, and I think it is great but I don't think the censors will lift for it. What?! That's right, there is a little but of riske content involved. One one side, the lovely couple is kissing and it is very romantic. But on the otherside in the back in just an outline is the couple not completely dressed making a very passionate scene. It isn't like full blown hentai or anything, but anyone who doesn't think the way I do (Like a lot of people I work with, ouch, dimes yo), will not see it as a romantic scene of lovers expressing their deepest affection for one another. So yea, but I am going to the same type of thing with Lockon Stratos and Felt Grace from Gundam 00. Love is more then just words to me and can and should be expressed through the majesty of music, poetry, actions, art, and well words. So yea, bite me if you only see the two quote unquote "doing it." Well that is all I have for today. They got some hot dogs waiting for me out on the messline so I am about to go enjoy some of that action. See you tomorrow!
