Ah, the internet, where countless vassels, measured only in digital levels of electronic currents, slave away for me at my very whim.

Ebonflames, by night(I work 3rd shift) an ordinary man, by day a master of millions!

Feels good to have the old xanga back up and running. A place where people only know me if I let them :) Too bad myspace and facebook are more popular these days.

As for what's been happening with me. An update from almost a year go eh? Well, I've been through my first year of college, broke up with my gf of two years(more or less), and am currently chilling on summer break. Finding myself with an amazing amount of freetime on my hands as well unfortunately. I don't like sitting around doing nothing all the time.

Lol. I just read my site header. That brings back some memories. Probably some of the better advice I've ever given anyone.

Spent the weekend playing sports/swimming with friends and family. Couple of other things as well, but nothing big. Comment up if you still use Xanga :)

I'm currently listening to some Rob Zombie for those interested.

Bush

It's official. I hate President George W. Bush. He wants to protect our nation. That's just great. More protections for us, more security check points, more everything, why not?

But why in the hell are we attacking countries that haven't ever done shit to us. Oh yeah, Iraq is a threat to us, they're building weapons of mass destruction, right? Well, where the fuck did they go? The Taliban sure as fuck doesn't have them, or they'd have used them by now. And yes, there are people who support Sadaam, why? Because they had actual power in his regime as opposed to the bullshit power they have now. The war crimes trial, right. What war crimes? Last I checked, there really wasn't much of a war to commit crimes in. The whole thing is bullshit and a violation of our constitution. The acts that Sadaam did or did not commit in his own fucking country were under his rule at the time. Therefore, no war crimes. Not to mention that he never attacked us with his troops throughout the entire war. At least Iraq wasn't in a fucking full scale riot when  he was in power.

On to the next thing, disregarding Iraq. Our beloved President calls every damned country in the middle east an evil country, a tyranny, etc. The only reason we aren't calling Russia or China tyrannies? They'd kick our ass. And he's expecting co-operation from the middle eastern countries while insulting them to their face. Hello, Mr President, muslim countries are extremely proud. They have been taught that the U.S. is evil, and they aren't afraid to die.

Not to mention, we don't have the resources to run another war. We don't have enough damned money to run one war right now. This country has spent so much damned time engrossed in war that it is falling apart. We are in debt. The economy, finally back to normal from Enron and the Towers, could really take a break. We need to sit back, and focus on bringing down health care costs by reforming the industry, finding new fuels, etc.

I know all politicians are liars and cheats for the most part, but did we have to pick the most fucking retarded one in the bunch? There's a reason the first Bush was only elected once. If Kerry had even looked a little less retarded, he would've one. But it was stamped on his face. Bush, however stupid Kerry may have been, is as bad if not worse than Kerry would've been.

No Title

I've noticed, that throughout many games, there are lots and lots of stationary defense platforms known as turrets. These turrets are basically structures with tank turrets mounted on top.

There are anti air, vehicle, and infantry turrets, but that just leaves one question.

Where the hell are the anti-turret turrets?
