1.  Shot reveals cityscape of Veda-7 at dusk; it is a vast, sweeping image encompassing an immense urban network of lights that seem stars sprung up from the earth.

2.  A silhouette of ULTIMO blocks our view of the setting central sun as he faces the falling stars and stands at attention out of a soldier’s instinct.  He ( Read more... )

I went to the ROTC recruiting office today, sat down with the Major in charge of recruiting, and essentially signed up for the Officer Training Program. So I should be getting my gear and all sometime next week. It's usually just one class per semester. This semester it's just once a week, on Friday, and teaches the basics of the whole shebang.

Alrighty, I've finally decided on my career path. I'm gonna graduate from BU with a major in International Relations, then go to Johns Hopkins for my Masters (Should only take about a year to three semesters) and then enlist in the armed forces, working my way into the Army Rangers. After a few tours of duty with them, I'm gonna find some ( Read more... )

Don't you just love it when your little sister is too lazy to apply to more than one school and, due to 17 years of lackluster parenting, your mother is incapable of forcing her to expand her horizons. Of course, you'd say, your father would be more than willing to take the situation by the horns, but not if he was a recovering alcoholic. Thus, the ( Read more... )

Dear God have I grown tired of the monotany that is college, and it hasn't even been a month. As I sit here writing this I realize that I'm about to round out the week like I have for the past 3 - by going downstairs and doing the laundry. Then tomorrow it'll be the same as last monday - German from 12-1, Lunch, Graeco-Roman Mythology from 3-4, ( Read more... )

Yes, I know that's the Marines' slogan, but regardless, here it is - I'm seriously considering joining the armed forces, preferably something in the Special Ops realm, maybe Green Beret or Rangers. Don't ask me why, my reasons are my own, but I'm thinking I might do it right after I get my undergraduate degree. On the other hand, as I was just ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting on the toilet, reading the New York Times, minding my own business when suddenly . . . WAAAA! WAAAA! WAAAA! WAAAA! - they decided to have a fucking fire drill, at this hour. Basically, I couldn't finish up so I had to just do my best to wipe up and get out. Then we all get to the bottom of the stairs, and the fucking exit door is ( Read more... )

So I'm walking down to the FitRec for my second workout of my 3-day-a-week workout schedule, and as I pass by the Student Union, what should happen to catch my eye but a band of socialists, preaching to the crowd about Hurrican Katrina and how it has strengthened racial barriers in the country.

You see, apparently, the government conspired with ( Read more... )

So, for those of you who didn't follow, that last post was obviously a joke. No, I have no desire to be a woman. It was just a ploy to get more people responding to the posts.

Moving along then, my dad has recently taken a fancy to sending me emails, one such being the following:

I don't mind if you come home a communist, a maoist shows a little ( Read more... )
