In lieu of studying for my aerodynamics or weapons exam, I’ll go ahead and write my first post on our new blog. I’m going to attempt something that my colleague avoided in his 1st post…it’s called literacy. I think he had just come down off a three day meth binge when he wrote that blog, even though it is fairly insightful. I would like to formally state that my position on this blog will mostly be one of criticizing my comrade’s insightful comments because I’m not introspective enough to think on my own.
Even though I already criticized Turbo for his earlier mispellings, etc… I will be conducting the rest of this post in bullet points because I have WAY too much to do at present. I’m going to lay out a few possible topics and warnings to those of you who may read this blog.
Possible Topics
Politics- Turbo’s political stance lies somewhere between Teddy Roosevelt and Karl Marx (perhaps a little to the left of the latter). I, on the other hand, fluxuate somewhere on the spectrum between Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara and Lt. Col. Oliver North. My position on this spectrum mostly depends on the time of day, dew point, political-news cycle, and a fairly complex formula involving the distance that exists between my present position and El Toro Bravo for a frosty Sol.
Navy Stuff-We are blogging about our final 100 days at USNA, thus I’ll do my best to translate all the Navy acronyms that my colleague feels obliged to employ. I’m sure you’ll be amused by some of the stories, confused by most, and generally disturbed by all of them. Both from an upstanding-citizen and tax-paying American perspective. Prepare yourselves.
Religion- We probably won’t talk too much about this, but it is possible. Once again, prepare yourselves….
Sex- My comrade will probably be covering this topic ad-nausea.
Foreign affairs- Turbo is an economics major moonlighting as a political science major. We’ve both been known to habituate some mildly interesting parts of the world… although we don’t remember most of those journeys, and what we do remember we probably shouldn’t admit to.
Warnings
Swearing- We are in the Navy… We occasionally use swear words… the sooner you accept that or stop reading our blog, the better. In the same way that my wife-elect (whom I love dearly!) is only capable of using wedding terminology in daily conversation, we are incapable of having a conversation without using swear words.
Rambling- Blogs are a natural place to whine and ramble. If we do this too much, please mail your complaints to 1600 Penn Ave, Washington D.C.. We have a PO Box there.
Reasons for writing- Turbo is probably writing for the betterment of civilization, I on the other hand am an elitist, self-aggrandizing, soon-to-be pilot who likes to see his thoughts on paper. It would be rather presumptuous of us to assume that anyone actually gives two shits about reading this, but if you do happen to stumble on our blog on your way to a website about converting from Judaism to Lutheranism just keep these things in mind.
