back to my workout routine with n.o. explode 2.0 advanced strength. pushups/situps/run haha gonna own the pt test when i get home.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier is ****ing brilliant. lots of stealth killing and action. watched my buddy play it for a few he's playing it on easy mode and there are many missions. i'm on elite mode and it is challenging enough for me but enjoyable at the same time. i'm stuck on halo 4, haven't played in about a week. almost beat the old republic's main story with my agent. that game is addicting too.

need more advanced armor so i can be competitive in pvp..i really miss pvp.

Rogue15 · 02-01-2013, 03:20 PM

got a good workout in tonight, getting my pushup and situp reps up to max, also i'm going to starve myself down to 150 pounds. i hate being fat, i dont know how in the **** i put 30 pounds on since july, but it's all coming off and then some.

This post is during my first access of the forums as a Comcast Internet customer...speedtest.net gave me 90+ megabit down.

Keyan Farlander · 02-01-2013, 08:55 PM

The Internet was out all day at work today. Since I couldn't look anything up, I had to rediscover all of math.

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 02-01-2013, 09:44 PM

I wish we had 90MBS down... ;_;

edlib · 02-01-2013, 11:11 PM

I just watched the Louis C.K.stand up that he filmed where I work a few years back, on Netflix.

It's kinda weird to see my own name go by on the credits... along with a bunch of guys I work with and used to work with.

Rogue15 · 02-01-2013, 11:19 PM

haha thats cool ed.

off to work i go! lmfao

Rogue15 · 02-02-2013, 01:36 PM

making alot of changes to my mentality of life this month...making myself a better person, better soldier, and going to follow my dreams and fight for what I want in life, it got me this far and so far it was way more than worth the fight. (talking about what I had to go through to get back in the military, and back onto the dmd list for this deployment) active duty is more physically demanding, so going to spend alot of time in the gym and hardcore dieting, also listening and taking initiative so I can end up running some of these missions we're doing.

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 02-02-2013, 06:41 PM

Purchased food. Gluten Free food is ****in' expensive

Rogue15 · 02-02-2013, 11:14 PM

women generally are

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 02-03-2013, 12:03 AM

Yeah, but in this case it's necessary for her health. Celiacs disease can lead to some pretty nasty ass **** later in life if she continues to consume gluton based stuff, like Lymphoma or death via malnutrition.

So, it's worth it.

Rogue15 · 02-03-2013, 12:32 PM

well facebook took a **** on the picture uploader.

i'm finally starting to get some really sweet pictures of **** here and facebook decides to look me dead in the face and say '**** you' back to myspace?

Keyan Farlander · 02-04-2013, 11:16 AM

Yay Ravens!

Had a dentist appointment this morning. They are always so very impressed with my gums. And not so impressed with my shifting teeth. Sigh...

edlib · 02-04-2013, 11:34 AM

I always have the opposite problem. Teeth: perfect. Gums? Not so much...

Rogue15 · 02-04-2013, 01:07 PM

taking some ****ing FEMA classes that my plt sgt made mandatory **** for us to waste our time on our days off. yeahhhhh and the exams are full of fail. my first negative counseling is brewing.

Did you ever have braces? I did, but it seems the bottom teeth are shifting back a bit, and he wants me to get invisiline or a retainer or something and wear it for life. That sounds terrible, though.

Rogue15 · 02-04-2013, 02:14 PM

just have them all pulled and get dental implants.

Rogue15 · 02-04-2013, 04:45 PM

watching ninja movies all night long

No.

I did have both my baby teeth and adult growing in at the same time. A double row of teeth, like a shark. But somehow everything grew in straight. My impacted wisdom tooth pushed everything together before I got it out, but it didn't seem to have a permanent effect.

I dunno... as far as my teeth go, I was pretty blessed and lucky. I never even had a cavity... and I used to take pretty lousy care of them.

Rogue15 · 02-05-2013, 01:54 AM

i hate feeling sick to my stomach.

K_Kinnison · 02-05-2013, 11:46 PM

My cat has caught cabin fever.

When I came home from work and if he is normally in the garage he escapes out the back cat door. It was frozen shut, so he ran up the opposite side of my 2-door garage and went back out. I had to call to him from the back porch and he was over in the neighbors yard and came romping in a hurry through the 12 inch deep snow we have.

After a bit to eat (he had not been fed since 2pm and it was now 930pm) he started attacking his scratching chair, and went over to his toy box to complain. Yes, Daddy had to play with him. So i got one of his toys out (the Felt cat-o-nine tails) and played with him. after a 5 minutes of that I had to play hide and seek with him. After giving chase he would hide, and a few minutes later he would come out and wait for me to give chase again.

Finally let him out again after he realized there was no door to summer

update: just let him back in and he is now curled up and purring in my lap. makes being a cat owner worth it

Rogue15 · 02-06-2013, 12:35 PM

found some crazy **** the last few days...found a 155mm at round the other day and today we found a cache of ak47 magazines (still loaded with ammo) left over from the gulf war. its like an episode of 'mud men' but out in the ****in desert. not a bad time.

K_Kinnison · 02-07-2013, 12:18 AM

My bet there are hundreds of weapon caches in the whole middle east. Often the people who know about them are dead.

Keyan Farlander · 02-07-2013, 11:25 AM

I'm tired. Chances that I will fall asleep at my desk today? Fairly high.

edlib · 02-07-2013, 12:10 PM

Snow is coming. They seem very reluctant to cancel all the weekend shows despite the fact we are supposed to get hammered. At the very least a foot everywhere. 2 feet in a lot of places. Maybe even 3 feet in a couple of spots.

Power outages, 50-60 mph winds, and and coastal flooding are expected.

So of course I'm going to make it to work! Why wouldn't I?

Should be a fun weekend...

true, it feels kinda good though finding this **** properly disposing it, and knowing that we're helping out the locals.

Rogue15 · 02-08-2013, 05:11 AM

yay facebook finally un****ed itself so i can post pictures again!

edlib · 02-08-2013, 05:41 AM

My winter boots are crappy. Gonna run out this morning and buy a new pair before we are all buried alive. Maybe another bag of ice melt... if I can actually find any.

College is closed today and the show tomorrow was postponed. They still want to try to do the Sunday show. I think that's optimistic. The city was shut down for about 4 days in '78's blizzard... and this one is predicted to be worse.

Rogue15 · 02-08-2013, 12:30 PM

5k run tomorrow...hell yeaaa

got all my FEMA exams done, woop woop, and i wont be around to handle the eocs and icps during the insane snowstorms you guys are getting.....cause i ain't got time for that!

**Wildstar** · 02-08-2013, 01:08 PM

If only I could throw a bowling ball as well as I did in my lesson yesterday all the time.

Zargon · 02-08-2013, 01:46 PM

I'll be dad any day now.

scrary stuff

I can't wait.....the suspense is killing me

Rogue15 · 02-08-2013, 02:54 PM

Rogue15 · 02-09-2013, 08:56 AM

Good luck! Babies may seem like a lot of trouble at first, but enjoy them while they are all sweet and cute, before they grow up a little and get all mouthy

Suicide squad duty?

Rogue15 · 02-09-2013, 11:01 PM

more like another deployment right after this one

edlib · 02-10-2013, 06:05 AM

Well... that SUCKED.

Lost power Friday night at 10. Just got it back on (Sunday morning at 5-ish.)

My bedroom: 38 degrees F. I've been bundled up fully dressed under 3 comforters just to stay warm.

Spent 3+ hours digging out yesterday... mainly just to get to my car and charge my phone. The snow drifts were chest high on me.

The snow here wasn't anywhere near as bad as some places around here though. One town got more than 40 inches.

I can't wait until this place warms up a bit more... because, DAYAMMMMMM... I need a shower badly!

Supposedly, there's a concert going on at work today. I won't be there. I found someone to cover for me.
I really doubt there's going to be any audience... it's a John Denver tribute show. His audience has to be mostly all little old ladies... 50+ years old... I can tell you, they won't be coming out tonight. There's no parking in Boston, and no public transit running at the moment. And still a lot of power outages in the towns around Boston.

But... The show must go on... Right?

Keyan Farlander · 02-10-2013, 09:32 AM

That's a lot of snow. I have...no snow

K_Kinnison · 02-10-2013, 11:10 AM

In wisconsin we have gone beyond just snow to the combination of snow and freezing rain

For those that didn't look at my facebook post. I reached 256 pounds and for the first time in my life I need to lose weight. m Playing a game with myself tying to get my calorie intake to around 2000, instead of the 3000 I was normally having.

Rogue15 · 02-10-2013, 12:13 PM

thats what marriage does to someone lol just let yourself go...

yeah i decided i need to lose weight after getting here and having gained 20 pounds in a month....and this month i decided im going strictly vegetarian...for a whole month to see if i can lose weight that way. so far i survived 2 meals eating just salad and steamed veggies, and my other rule is NO dressing of any kind. drinks i can drink cranberry juice or water.

my goal for when i get back home is to be down to 140-150 pounds. right now i weigh between 195 and 205. i weighed 175 before i went to camp shelby, and this was me eating mcdonalds like 3x+ a week, but also lots of walking.

its alot easier to stick to a diet here because all the food is prepared, at home i'd NEVER make myself a salad, **** that it takes too long to prepare, is ****ing expensive, expires way too fast and is not that filling for what it costs.
