To the geeks of ArM

Julius: Hey, wait a minute. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hold it. Now, are we actually gonna go before the entire Tribunal, and tell them that some moldy Faerie Lord is going to drop in on the Northern Highlands, and start tearing up the country?
Aborimandrax: Gruchin, not Faerie Lord.
Lucian: Yeah. Big difference.
Julius: No offense, guys, but I've gotta get my own Guernicus.

but wait, there's more...

Don Allaigh:[Evil voice] Are you a God?
Drax: [Lucian nods] No.
Don Allaigh: Then... DIE!
[Electrocutes the members of Spatha et Cingulum; pushing them to the edge of the tower ramparts; Covenfolk screaming]
Magnus: Drax, when someone asks if you're a God, you say "Yes"!
Lucian: All right! This chick is TOAST!
Lucian: [The Magi walk toward Don Allaigh] Grab your Vis!
Drax, Durand, Magnus, & Julius: HOLDING!
Lucian: Heat 'um up!
Drax, Durand, Magnus, & Julius: SMOKING!
Lucian: [Don Allaigh growls] Make them spells penetrate!
Drax, Durand, & Magnus, & Julius: READY!
Lucian: Let's show this prehistoric Gruchin how we do things at Spatha et CINGULUM... CAST EM!

This post is so far inside I shouldn't have even posted it. Those that get it I hope will like my efforts. :)

Late night madness...

So today is my birthday.

Yep.

I was born at 10AM on November 16th. It's only 445AM so I figure I have about 5 hours left. My logic is flawed and I know it. I'm just using this disjointed logic to extend my birtday a full 24 hours after the fact since I worked from 4 - midnight on my birthday. I worked that shift the day before and I'm working it tomorrow. So you can see how those hours kind of curtail any partying on my part. I'm trying to be "Mr. Responsible" regadless of the crappy pay. I firmly believe that I am being paid a wage to perform a task. With the amount of money I get paid to do it they are completely assured that I will do the absolute minimum namely:

1) Show up to all of my posts on time
2) Wear my complete uniform, clean and serviceable looking as well
3) Write my reports
4) Radio in any crime occuring to our client's property

Anything else is completely beyond my A) Jurisdiction and b) the single digit an hour pay I get.

On the upside I am almost done with What's the Matter With Kansas? which is an interesting account about the transformation of Kansas through Fundamentalist Christian Conservatives and their affect on politics of our nation. I do it not justice, but I am 2/3's of the way through and I have found it very interested without being offensive. In the way an Ann Coulter book would be offensive to a very liberal Democrat is how I meant that.

Back to life "On the Other Job"...

I'm currently compiling all the data I can on the everyday events that take place at work and am making a cast of characters. Yep, this could have the makings of an excellent screenplay. I'm thinking "Armed and Dangerous" meets "D.C. Cab" or something similar about a group of "loveable losers" that all are striving against "the Man" against impossible odds. Except there really is no "Man" and sitting in a car and watching a remote building in the middle of nowhere to guard against thieves isn't really impossible odds... but there IS potential damnit!

It's my birthday, humor me.

Ok, enough babble from me. I'm out.

Oh, for all of you that did not call/email me a happy birthday today: Burn in the pits of Hades.

Just kidding :)

Belatedness

Since I worked 23 of the last 48 hours I'm a little confused and a whole lot tired. I just wanted to say a quick (7.5 hours late) Happy Birthday to:

The United States Marine Corps

for celebrating two hundred and thirty years of honorable and dedicated service to this country, for which I will always be proud to have spent four years of my life with them.

May all my brethren in all the warzones around the globe get home safe.

Semper Fidelis,

Jay Mac
