Hey, I'm sort of back, but nothing to really show right now. Just did some work to help out some simulation folks with graphical filter ad-on. I went to Ft Benning for basic, then Gordon for AIT. I've finally gotten settled into a new home so hopefully I'll have something to show someday soon.

Joe, how are you? I think about you often and wonder if you are getting any better??? What was your MOS?

I was 31R, which was "Multi-channel Radio Communications tech", which is fancy military wording for "Radio Guy", lol. My job was to make sure people could send transmissions back and forth from the field. We had Humvees with radio equipment in the back. Not a combat job, but still required us to be on the scene to relay communications. I thought about doing infantry, but I didn't want to have to shoot anyone, or be used for political reasons that were against my morals. I figured radio support was something I could do to help, without having to take life. There are too many conflicts we are involved with that I don't morally support. I didn't want to become the weapon of some corrupt politician's agenda. These days, its hard to tell why we are involved in a conflict till after it's over, and by then, its too late to withdraw any regretful decisions.

Sorry, i've only just got settled into a new place, and back online recently. I was working on a graphical filter for racing simulations, and thats all i've uploaded right now. I am working on a political piece right now, maybe will have something to show soon.. Thanks for checking up.

I know what you mean with the rap. I don't care if others listen to it, but come one, its all the clubs seem to play! I was trying like hell to find just a comfy coffee shop nearby and have had no luck on that. It seems like the media says that these things are cool, and people just believe it. I have asked many people what they like about certain things they say they enjoy, but rarely is there an actual answer. I have to ask myself sometimes, "is the public really this brainwashed?" How did it become so accepted to let a few celebs TELL us what is cool, and have people believe them? Maybe I just need a new atmosphere, in a new state, or country even.

I'm still here, just not much lately. I have just been run down by all the BS i've been dealing with from the VA and disability. I am about half way done with my jigsaw puzzle piece, so hopefully it will be done by next weekend. Sorry that I have not been very active lately.
