Life after Florida

With only a week left before I head out I have been trying to get all my shit squared away, school finished, and trying to see everyone. I only have 2 classes left and 2 papers due until I’m finally out of HCC. On top of that I have been fighting with them to get transcripts and schedule some bullshit computer proficiency test.
Along with school work I have to retake a motorcycle class to get my license renewed. That is up in Lakeland all weekend. I am packed up for the most part and closing out the apartment next week will close the deal. Just got done with fighting with AT&T trying to put my phone in hold while I am gone. That about sums it up for now. All that I have left to do is sort out financials and put deferments on student loans.
Wednesday is going to be my day to relax. Going to go out to dinner with my mother on that night and then report in at 6AM. The past 4 years in Florida have taught me one thing…

I will never live in Florida again. Visiting is fine, but I would never want to live here again.

If you want my address to send me letters you have until Wednesday night to text or email your mailing addresses to me.

It turns out that the paperwork fuckup has been fixed. I am now set to leave on Aug 7 and I am headed to Ft. Benning, GA.

Today I had my second day of classes for this semester. After getting the majority of my sleep on the floor of the terminal at Dulles, Monday was a blur. I didnt get enough sleep on Monday night and I have been dragging all day today. It was hard enough leaving everything I love back in Maine. For once in my entire school career I actually got a decent return by selling my books. Managed to bring in 95% of the original cost. I also managed to aquire 3 books for this semester from friends for next to nothing. About the only thing I had to pay for was 2 books and 3 handouts for a total of $120, cheapest semester so far!

Thats right, Mike is in New England for the next few days to visit his best friend Morgan. I will most likely be out of contact via cellphone but I should still get texts. If anyone has any basic requests for things to bring back, send me a text or e-mail and I will see what I can get. Nothing to over the top please (I tried bringing back a møøse once but he bit mi sister). It also must be able to be brought back in a checked bag (that also eliminates the midget strippers and 3 kilos of coke). I do have my camera so hopefully I will actually remember to take pictures so I can post them.

Edit: Added Morgan so she wont kill me

Last week I went to the shooting range for a bit of target practice. I normally shoot a Springfield Armory XD9 subcompact and a Bersa Thunder 380. Both are carry guns, depending on what I am wearing and where I am going. I also use them for IDPA and USPSA competitions. When I got there I had to wait for the range officer to get back from lunch before I could go onto the range. While sitting there I ended up talking to one of the employees about playing paintball and exchanged stories. I stopped playing after breaking my arm so I have plenty of gear still lying around. Shortly after we struck on a deal. He ended up trading a new, never fired, Bushmaster M4A3 in return for roughly $1500 worth of painball guns (all won at tournaments so they didnt cost me a penny). With this trade now I can actually compete effectively in 3-gun and action rifle matches. Pictures will be posted later so check back.

Long day at work on Saturday and then fiddling with the site for a while before getting some well needed rest. Sunday I woke up and started getting brewing supplies together. About 8 hours later I now have 4 of my 5 fermenters filled. I will post some pictures i have stockpiled from my random brewing weekends that I will post later. Enough for now, I should probably pay attention to my psych professor now.

Well all of the previous versions of this site are now gone due to some server side issues. I have moved off of my previous hosting company so now i can keep things updated.

I have had many people ask me what is going on with the whole anonymous vs. scientology deal and how i am involved. First i would like to let everyone know i am not against scientology as a religion. Worship however you want, your beliefs are your own. What i am against is the Church of Scientology, the institution, their practices, the torture and killing of their own members, and the aggressive campaigns against anyone seen as an “enemy of the church”. For those who don’t know the hierarchy withing the Church of Scientology is based upon how much you spend. Knowledge of the religion is based on how much you spend. Friends and family of new recruits who are against scientology are removed from the recruits life. The worst part of all of this is they are tax exempt.

Why does anonymous hide their faces?

To avoid an aggressive slander campaign that the CoS is known for. They have a history of spreading rumors aiming to discredit a dissenter in the community.

Why is anonymous involved?

They are involved for the freedom of information. Faith should be free. Knowledge should be free. The aim is to raise public awareness of this dangerous corporation and how they try and disguise themselves as a religion.
