Spy and Block Me!

Drill weekend over and not much work this time around. Again another mandatory Navy wide training. This month we send off Lt. Cmdr. Swearingin (2nd tour to the area) and Lt. Cmdr. Anderson to Afghanistan. More new people to the unit and this batch looks like they are ready to work and be around for a while. HM2 White joined us this weekend and it was great to see him and make fun of him.

Spent one day this past weekend with my grandma and Natalia and it was a nice time. My grandma is doing and looking good as years past and may hopefully end up staying just a bit longer.

Finished reading The Last Threshold and I found it a good story and left me wanting to know more. Eagerly await R.A. Salvatore's next book to see what it will bring as it will be a six book series. My next book was Make Room! Make Room by Harry Harrison and I know I can expect anything from this author. This book was the inspiration for the movie Soylent Green. However the book was not a traditional Harrison book and found it to my liking. I recommend this book to anyone as it was a nice quick read. I then jumped back into Scalzi with his latest novel The Human Division and thus far half way through it and not as catchy and special as his previous books.

Work has been extremely busy. I don't know why so busy. Everyone says beginning of the month as all those government welfare cards get reloaded but I've never seen it this busy. As many know I get irked at the welfare system as I see it abused daily. So many of these cards I see not belonging to the actual buyer and more and more every month being able to cash out their benefits. Seems every store nowadays makes most of their money from the government. Not just Wal-Mart as I see bigger and bigger signs in fast foods places, Target, gas stations, etc... I'm waiting to see a nice white and green one in Starbucks. Even cooked food is now added. Are people too lazy to actually cook their food. Won't be long before anything can be obtained with welfare benefits. We are becoming a welfare state where many are becoming accustomed to believing the government will provide them with anything they need. I understand some people really need the help but it is not what I see. Just recently numbers have started to come out on the figures spent yearly on this program and it has grown substantially over the past couple of years.

Also in the news and finally mainstream Americans seeing how this administration has been spying not only on journalists but in citizens. It is not news to me as it has been happening for sometime now with these huge data centers being used and built to funnel all our cell and internet traffic so it can be scanned and saved. Some amy start to slowly see much stuff online being "blocked" from such popular sites like Facebook and Google searches as these companies clearly are some being used for this. Maybe now more and more people will wake up and see how we are slowly becoming a slave state. The huge push to un-arm us, the push to spy on us, the slow indoctrination of Islam culture being pushed to us, the push to bypass and maybe erase some of our constitutional rights, and the lack of jobs forcing so many of us to become government dependent or just to submit. As our president says many times - "Just getting by" which appears to be the new motto for America. The land of the middle class just getting by. I am very skeptic on the recent attacks in U.S. soil from what we are told are Islam radicals. Seems more and more are happening and never before even through our long cold war, while our administration keeps arming groups in Africa, the middle east and even Mexico. A clear example Americans are seeing now in the Benghazi killings as the truth us slowly coming out, not to mention the current turn of events in Mexico and I dare say the unexplained "deaths" of the many U.S. Navy SEAL sailors. With this all being said I know this administration has definitely flagged my little blog and all is being stored. Hey! President, can I also have some space to store my photo and music files in your servers? LOL

I have a little rant - Why is it hard to get hot sauce at a fast food place? They have too many types. Want hot sauce? Yes. Hot hot sauce. Please just make one and that is the choice. If you don't want hot sauce then don't ask for it. Mild, medium, hot, inferno? Just one, please.
