I’m done with it

This image just sets the tone with me for 2012. I decided that I was going to get those things that I’ve always wanted – screw what anyone else would say about it.  I’m done with trying to impress anyone.  I’m done caring about what anyone else thinks.  I only have one life… I’m going to live it.

So I got rid of the Cruiser and got a Sport Bike.  I got a 10mm.  Why?  Because fuck it – I wanted it.  I don’t care what anyone else thinks… I got music that I like.  I don’t care if you don’t want to hear it – I do.  I’ll wear a Hoodie because I like it.  You don’t like it?  Don’t wear one, that’s fine.  I’m not being selfish here – I’m just being Me.  I’m being the Genuine Ogre.  This is the real me and I’m not trying to fit in with your expectations.  I want to live up to Mine.  And everything I have – I’ve paid cash for.  Later this year – you might see some other surprises.

Bank of America should not get our business

I’ve been increasing displeased with some banking institutions.  Mt. America, Zions, Nations, and now Bank of America.   BoA just dropped McMillan because they are a Gun Company.

The SHOT industry (Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade) is huge… there is a lot of money in it and a lot of Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Enthusiasts earn and spend a lot of money.  And Bank of America should get none of it.  Not a penny.  Everyone that any account with BoA, should pull their accounts and open new ones in a Gun Friendly banking institution.  Vote with your Wallets.

But I thought…

The Secret Service Snafu has me wondering here… The Agents apparently broke no laws.  So why are they being punished?  Most of the people who are “Outraged” about it are the same people who dismissed Bill Clinton’s actions in an Intern as “Just sex, and none of our business.”  If that’s the standard, then what about if there wasn’t even any of that?  Just “Escorts” and some drinking and carrying on like what goes on in behind the curtain in a lot of professional cultures where the public front is a perfectly worn suite and a poker face.  Just ask Japan.

The men were off duty.  No laws were broken.  I don’t see a problem with that.  The only problem that I have was the apparent loose handling of Confidential Information.  That’s not cool.  But whooping it up while off duty?  I don’t care.

I also don’t care that another SS Agent post pics of Sarah Palin saying “I’d hit that” or whatever he was going on about.  I wouldn’t fire him.  I’m send him to work counterfitting cases or something, because that was in poor taste to do what he did… but again… he violated no laws or sacred trust.   And most guys offended by what he did all agree and were thinking the same thing.

Concussion

Monday I received another concussion. Hit my head… I thought I was doing okay, headaches, but taking it easy I thought I was doing pretty well.
Today I decided to take short ride to warm up my motorcycle’s chain so I can lube it up… As I was pulling back into Ogre Ranch, I felt like I was falling to the left, so I leaned right, and very gently, very slowly, very ignobly… laid my bike over on it’s right. No real damage but a bend in the brake lever, and I popped a connector on a fairing.
As of right now, I am still dizzy as hell.

Hoodies.

I have mentioned before that I like wearing Hoodies.  I have a bunch… Let’s see…

UnderArmor… I have 3.  One brown, one green, and one digital camo.
Browning… 2.  One green, one brush camo.
Carhart… 1.  Black, oversized even by hoodie standards and super warm… one of my favorites.
2 Generic store brand hoodies in a forest camo.
1 from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
And I have 3 from Basin Sports, one black UnderArmor with a zip up, one brown, and one black again.
I think I have a couple more that I can’t think of right now… Oh, one from Ugly Stick…

None of these Hoodies have anything to do with association or support of Gangs or Trayvon Martin or anything else like that… I like to wear them because they are comfortable… not because I am occupying Wall Street or looking for Zimmerman’s head.  I am at the moment of writing this, occupying my couch while wearing a Browning hoodie because it’s a cool spring morning after a night time storm and I’ve got the windows open and I am listening to the birds singing and chirping and cooing… (I have doves at Ogre Ranch… see… I’m all about Peace)  If wearing a hoodie indicates my support of anything – right now you could say that it’s Browning Firearms.  Under this hoodie is a Glock model 20 in 10mm with 2 spare mags on my belt.  This is another bonus of wearing of a hoodie… I can conceal an M4 Carbine under here, let alone any handgun I fancy to carry.

Where are the Tactical Hoodies?  With inside straps for spare mags and flashbangs?   With Velcro areas for the addition of Patches?  I want to put my Patches on a Hoodie… and be able to take them off again and change them.  Let’s see… MHI, EOD, INFIDEL, PORK EATING CRUSADER… I got a lot of Patches here that need a Tactical Hoodie!

Trayvon

I’ve not posted about the Trayvon Zimmerman shooting, because I don’t have the details.
I still don’t.  But enough people gave asked, so I will give you my two cents.
Zimmerman, no matter what he did wrong in following after the police dispatcher told him not to, was violently physically attacked.  Police on the scene evidently thought it was a good defense shooting, because the man was not arrested. 
Trayvon however wins this, because Zimmerman gave him something few thugs ever get… Remembered. He will probably be remembered for a good ten to fifteen years.  Most thugs are forgotten in a matter of weeks.

MP3’s

I need some more music for my MP3 player.  I’ve got Nightwish… And Honest Engine.  But I need some variety. 
I need Operation Mindcrime, Empire, Final Cut, Pulse, Delicate Sound of Thunder, and some newer more modern albums of the same epic nature.
