So all said and done the zombie fish tank algae has been finally cleaned, with a 98% water change. Casualty figures stand at 1 confirmed KIA, 3 MIA (no remains found) and some really cranky survivors. At one point the second largest fish was floating belly up in the cold water from the hose, but some quick hot water additions leveled out the water temp before the shock was too great.

You have made your bed. Now it is time to lie in it. 'The one' spoke constantly of change and hope- I 'hope' that President Elect Obama will not 'change' the principles this nation was founded on. I 'hope' that President Elect Obama will not silence dissent with the free speech destroying fairness doctrine. I 'hope' that Obama will not bury his head in the sand on the issue of Radical Islam and its attempts at genocide and religious conversion. I 'hope' that Obama does not destroy this country by 'spreading the wealth around' and trying to negotiate with a terrorist country like Iran.
Some side notes: -There needs to be a complete overhaul of EVERY states voter registration process, culminating with one standard across the nation. -There needs to be a federal requirement that State or Federally issued Identification MUST be shown when voting. -There needs to be more strict voter registration process so that one campaign or another cannot bus in the homeless, register them to vote on election day, and swing the election by using and abusing the downtrodden.
I have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. I support President Obama as the next Commander in Chief of the United States. But I will not give up my guns. I will not give up my morals. I will not surrender my hard earned money to those who do not work.
PREDICTIONS: 1. A terrorist attack on the continental United States. 2. A nuclear armed Iran, which will provoke war with Israel. 3. The silencing of Free Speech with the fairness doctrine. 4. Failure in Iraq, as an appeasement administration and president have been elected. 5. Drop in GDP, and a massive exodus of Industry and corporations to overseas locations to avoid Obama's socialism and excessive tax. 6. Oppressive, unconstitutional banning of law abiding citizens firearms.
Mark my words. I will provide no aid to the blind sheeple of Obama when they come crying.
So if you don't know, I serve in the Military, specifically the Air Force. There are many things that I do, and most of them will not make sense to most civilians, but to put it shortly, I help make this fly:
(Not the cute little fighter, the plane its getting loaded into.) There are many things that go into making it fly, and I have learned a new motto is so very true:
Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.
I have to pick up after so many people to get the mission completed that it drives me crazy.
What is happening in this country right now? Americans are attacking each other over politics, the media has lost all integrity and is doing everything it can to elect one person over another. What is going on.
I don't know if you can tell from my name that I have a slight, possibly unhealthy, fear of the coming zombie Apocalypse. I whittle away hours of my life preparing for something that may or may not happen. But hey, it never hurts to be prepared.
So here I have an exercise I like to use to keep my post-fall of society IQ high: Imagine if you will, this happens:
What tools would you use to survive?
Here is my sample end-o-the world temperate bug out kit: CLOTHES *Broken in Combat Boots *Broken in Tennis Shoes *Many pairs of socks *Khaki cargo pants with removable legs (dorky looking yes, functional your damn right!) *Many pairs of Boxers (or briefs, if you like the end of the world and nut-huggers) *Under Armor T-shirts *Button up, long sleeve shirts, preferably a dark earth tone color *Camouflage Boony hat *Sun Glasses or Goggles with UV protection (zombie blood in the eye has this pesky ability to infect you with whatever causes zombies)
STUFF *First Aid Kid (with antibiotic's to spare!) *MOLLE style quick detaching back-pack. Your going to be taking the heel-toe express from now on, you'll thank yourself for spending extra money (worthless now, HA!) on a comfortable rig. Plus the quick detach will allow you do drop your extra gear so you can engage in combat and be free to maneuver. *essential toiletries (if a lone human survivor poops in the woods, does a zombie hear him?) *Water purification: Self contained carbon/activated charcoal filtered units AND tablets. *Various lengths of parachute cord, nylon rope, and one 100' nylon braided rope and caribiners. (zombies cant climb, but you can) *Small Fishing survival kit *Magnesium striker fire starters. Do yourself a favor and carry one in your pocket in case you and your MOLLE system become separated. *Camouflage tarp. shelter in a hurry and concealment. I don't recommend a tent, because, asleep at ground level in a tent you are essentially a burrito for the lucky undead that shambles into you. Get elevation, and keep it. Zombies cannot climb like we can, use your advantages!!! *sleeping bag- lightweight, but rated to the coldest your area gets *A compact, lightweight foam sleeping pad. If you have ever camped without one you know what I'm talking about.
And now for the fun stuff! WEAPONS PRIMARY WEAPON: For me I am thinking about ammo weight, ease of use, ability to find common ammunition, weapon weight and maximum range. I think that the Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm rifle is a good choice under these criteria. Attach a CQC ACOG Scope or a red dot sight system, and you have yourself a powerful weapon for the close quarter battles you ARE going to have.
SECONDARY WEAPON: Since you are already using a 9MM Carbine Rifle I recommend using the same ammunition in your pistol as well. While Beretta's 9MM service pistol, the 92F, uses the same clip as the Storm, I would not recommend it as your side arm due to the fact that the 92F's is shit on a cracker. My choices- *The Glock 19- Its a Glock. What more can I say. But the advantage here is that its very light weight. Glock's no nonsense Aim, Shoot Kill ethos with no external safety to slow you down and easy to clean and care for weapons make it my backup of choice in this scenario. But be sure that you modify your Glock with a light trigger pull and carry it in a secure holster- your trade off for a fast to fire gun with no external safety and a hair trigger is a weapon that will shoot at the slightest touch. *A Smith & Wesson M&P- Rugged, reliable, and easy to use. S&W makes their guns to gobble up all types of Ammunition and shoot it while dirty.
HOLY SHIT IM ABOUT TO BECOME A ZOMBIES LUNCH WEAPON: You have been defending your high ground all night from the shambling undead. The ammo supply you though would last you until you got to your backwoods property and your mini-wilderness survival cabin is 3 well aimed Pistol shots from being depleted. Your CX4 Storm is lying next to you, the Bolt cracked, the barrel bulging where you had a catastrophic weapons malfunction. Your face is bleeding because of the brass shavings from the failure of your rifle. 2 Shots left now, and 4 Zombies are closing in on your high ground. You aim, fire, aim fire and now what do you do? CUT THAT MOTHERFUCKERS HEAD OFF that's what you do. Your last resort oh shit I dont want to die weapon? A Machete. One clean swing and old Zed the zombies head is rolling down the hill. You lop off the last zombies head. Your safe for now. Machete.
Well that was a fun journey. More to come, these lists really take a long time to make up!
so I have determined that the antivirus software we all use to protect us from hackers and virus' is actually a form of a computer virus that we pay for. you see, your antivirus software takes over your computer and does what it pleases with your cpu. if you have a slow computer or older laptop, like me!, that rapes your processor power and brings you to a stand still. I also love the virus scan that starts itself and takes up 100% of your computers processing power, rendering your computer ineffective. ah well. here is a fun phot
