Wake Up!

Normal workdays and spending my time off this week playing Space Hulk: Death Angel. Don't judge me, I know. A fun game to play solo and a break from reading and playing video games (again, don't judge). Still pushing my way through The Ox-Bow Incident and hope to have it finished by this week.

Read Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali and a classic that it is and a little rare to find in the past I found it an average story. Average to today's standard but not 1978 audiences. The edition I bought doesn't have the collectible cover that made it a collectible but I just wanted to read the story to see what it was about. Also got the new R.A. Salvatore novel and was hoping to read it in my trip but I am sure I will not be able to wait. This book will lead to many more over the next few years in this story arch.

By now many of you would have heard of the "drill" that were to be conducted in Austin, TX and Pasadena, CA. A memo was leaked regarding this and quickly redacted. Many asked why it was redacted? Was this really a threat as the memo stated or a drill? People are starting to wake up from this "bullshit" and putting one and one together. England had similar memo and a real attack happened. However I highly doubt it was a terror attack. Again it happened in Boston as a drill (Operation Urban Shield) was scheduled and advertised and an attack happened. Thus far in Austin nothing has been happening. Maybe the group or groups in charge of this decided to not go ahead and cause another attack killing harmless Americans (there I said it). Funny how this memo had all this information but were not able to "thwart the threat" as they like to call it. But some will say that thanks to all the surveillance we are put under the administration is able to know all this. Wake up! It is so funny to me that this "attack" was scheduled in specific days to a specific street. Amazing! Meanwhile in Boston the trial of the two brothers is being kept secret behind closed doors. What was touted as a "terror attack in U.S. soil" is being kept secret. Why? We can have cameras everywhere and report but not of this. Why? Because it doesn't add up. So much evidence that any logical person can't put together but behind closed doors it can be. But of all the nonsense pushed to us during the pursuit of these brothers; in the end we are told we have a kid hiding in a boat texting and talking while being shot. High-tech video from above can see him and a gun clearly. In the end no gun. Picture recently released from a Boston police officer shows the kid bleeding but no traumatic shot to the neck as was sold to us, the citizens. Please, stop already. Austin and Pasadena, you have "dodged the bullet" to use a saying. These agencies may have been planning another "back pack " style device to kill harmless citizens to show that they are working and thanks to the person whom released this it was stopped. Go ahead and think me crazy, but next one day some truth will start to leak out and people will put one and one together.

I am getting closer and closer to leaving and feeling starting to change again. I am a very sentimental person and it will not be an easy transition for me at least the first few days. Bouncing around through Navy processes will not help either. I do hope having HM2 Chapparo leave before me can help me with this process. I know my last week here and with Natalia will be very hard but I will have to get in the mentality of dealing with it and getting out of here, do the job and come home. I know the return will be sweet and a great feeling. That alone has to carry me through the many months I will be gone. I just pray I get to stay in touch with my daughter for her benefit as well as mine. Also hope my court appearance that I will be unable to make as the court pointed out they cared nothing about my situation goes well for my mom as she goes there alone to deal with this. I didn't want this to end this way but again the system showed itself against males and even against the military.
