an update and history lesson 18+

Well time to catch up I suppose, but where to start?

I recently took a short vacation home and that went well. Had a chance to spend quality time with my nephew, and I swear it, that kid loves me more than his mom! I'm OK with that. This kid is just beyond adorable. Spending time with the family was great too. Me and my old man went down to Gods University in Alabama, and no, not the one with a loss this season, Auburn University. We were fortunate enough to watch the game the pushed Auburn to the #1 spot for the first, and certainly not the last time in school history. A while back I mentioned that you look back on times in your life and it gives you this amazing feeling? well this game will do that for me. And while I am on the topic let me bitch about football fans. Since last year it seems everybody is a bandwagon Alabama fan, years before that everyone was a Florida fan, and now I am seeing bandwagon Auburn fans. Well go fuck yourself. Auburn doesn't need you, the fans don't need you and I don't want you. A fan is when you cheer on your team in a 36-0 loss, and when your team has a loosing season, and when your team throws a big game, and when your team jumps to #1. I am an Auburn fan, and I don't want bandwagon fans popping up around the country because of Cam, or Fairley. And lastly about football, we all know that Bama can't stop AU this year. Lets just face the facts. I hope, and I to an extent expect, that the Bama fans would pull for Auburn in the big game. Last year I got shit from people because I wanted Bama to beat Texas. Here is why, I am an Auburn football fans first, and an SEC football fan second. I want the gold in the south because we have the better conference and we deserve it. Bama fans have been very cocky this last year, now I want to see if they know how to be humble.

School is trucking along and going great, made a connection to a homicide detective here in Syracuse, I will be getting with him next week and thats just exciting. It is also Halloween weekend, which as we all know, hands down Halloween is the best holiday of the year. And even though I am not with some recent close friends, I am excited to celebrate it with my best friends in Utah again.

I feel that this post is to average and too "just a read" so I had to find something to make it all up to you...

Fuck. A four letter word that when first introduced in some book meant nothing more than sex.  Now, fuck means anything and everything, you get screwed over then you got fucked. It's an infix to add more meaning or emphasize something, absofuckinglutely. It still means sex, man I fucked her last night. Now since when did it become wrong to say this word? Who decided that this word was bad? And why, as Americans should we listen to one person, or group of people that say this is a bad word don't say it? Well to you censorship people I say fuck you. It is accepted to say sex, and screwed over, and even you're damn right, but replace any of those words with fuck and people look at you like you killed your mother. WELL, as a true American, I use my freedom of speech, and just because a group or people or even one person says it's bad, doesn't make it bad. If a critic says a movie is bad, the whole world doesn't refuse to see it because it's bad. Why can we not take the same attitude to fuck?

food for fucking thought,

The Meat "fucking" Hammer

Get inside the Meat Hammer mind MA18 language

So, I sit here in an airport, tired as hell, hungry because I had no dinner before or after class last night, and had all kinds of things running through my mind over the last 6 or so hours. Since this blog is called the Meat Hammer Mind, I might as well let you in.

So after all of my bitching about the show, and now that it is over I have started watching LOST. I am at the end of season 3, and as Dane Cook so eloquently put it… what the fuck is going on? I have a million new questions! What the fuck? Also just saying women cannot be trusted, LOST has proven this fact again and again.  Also, Juliet is a cunt.

There is a nail saloon in the Atlanta airport right across from me, and even in an airport its all Asians, and they are just standing outside the door waiting for someone to come in. When I get off a plane the first thing I think of is how my nails look, and for Gods sake if I don’t get them done my life is over. But Meat Hammer, what about your bags? Bags? Fuck bags my nail is chipped! Wait its not all Asians there is a dude there, he must be gay.

You ever wonder what people are thinking about as they rush through an airport? I bet at least 20 people I see are “away on business” to screw someone other than their wife/husband.  Whores.

I was asked last night in class if I would be able to go 1 full week without making a sexist comment or joke, and I got to wondering if I could really bite my tongue?  I mean most the time I say them just for fun, except for the driver jokes, women should not get behind the wheel. Period. But I wonder if I really could, maybe I should try this, but I need a witness. Anarchy will do it for me. She can slap me if I slip up.

They are giving out flu shots at the airport… safe or no?

Ha, bastard in an LSU shirt just walked by, I hope he slips on the escalator.

So with as excited as I am about the football game this weekend I am equally if not maybe a smidge more about 2 things. Firstly my nephew, man I love that kid to death. I would cut off my left ball for that rascal. He absolutely is a joy for me, man I was in the worst spot a man could be in last time I saw him, and as soon as that kid jumped in my arms, succubus went away the whole weekend. There is something about him that just melts my heart. Best damn nephew a guy could have! Secondly is my old man. Awww shit now the Hammer is getting serious.

My family is crazy, just bat shit insane, but I think that’s what keeps us together. And even though at times I would toss them to a rabid raccoon, I kinda do love them and enjoy them. My old man is having a real rough time right now. And I pray with everything I got that this weekend he forgets about life and just enjoys himself. I don’t get much time alone with my pops when I go home, and I don’t think he really knows how important that time is to me. Even just a drive to the store. It’s great. I don’t think there is anything I can’t tell him. I even screen things through him before I tell anyone else in the family. And he knows he can do the same. And there is something about our relationship, if him and mom wanted to tell me something I don’t want to hear, if he tells me I am so much more rational about it, if mom told me the same thing I would probably get pissed. Meh, long story short here, I think I will enjoy my old man this weekend more than I will an Auburn victory. I hope I can do him some good this weekend.

Dumb lazy ass people in the carts, I hate those things. If you can’t get to your gate on your own, don’t fly. Unless you’re old, but then, don’t fly. Most old people smell.

Why the hell are there signs all over saying “free Wi-Fi” when you have to pay for the shit. Idiots. Seeing as this is the case, this blog will now not be posted as I sit in the airport but a little bit later.

Man in a white dress robe thingy. Probably religious but he looks like a tool.

Fat dude in a Tennessee shirt, man they suck this year.

                  

I have the most random mind, I can’t even keep a thought, and I am glad that I have invited you into the Meat Hammer’s mind today.  Also I have rediscovered Staind this morning while writing this nonsense. Their older stuff kicked ass.

Going for the Hat Trick

Score #1 - vacation
So I will be taking a few days this week for vacation. I have great fun plans for it too. I will be flying home on Thursday to see the family and get some pictures taken with the family and some updated Auburn pictures with my nephew. I am also excited just to see that little kid. I have promised him an awesome toy if he behaves in school, and for the most part he has so we have some shopping to do. Second to that with his birthday coming up I get to get his bday present, a really cool Buzz Lightyear that dances and all kinds of cool stuff. He will be so happy. Next plans on the vacation is a very important game this season for Auburn. Me, the Auburn Gator,  Miss Dixie and my old man will be in Auburn for the tiger bowl. This game is huge for us this year and I have high hopes of a win. This leads me into goal #2.

Score #2 - Fuck the BCS
I have said for years now how messed up the BCS system is, and I get arguments on both sides of the story. I still say the system is flawed. And yes, this is the start of my football rant. OU is #1, which seems a little bit out of place to me but not as bad as #2 and 3 which are good teams, but not so worthy of the ranks. Auburn is 4th which is the highest we have been since 06, with plenty of time to get to 1 or 2. Here are my thoughts....
OU has only played 2 ranked teams this year against now #17 and 19, yes they won so they should be ranked high but not #1. Oregon has only played 1 ranked team at now #9 and the only ranked game to come is #18. Not a schedule worthy of being #2. Boise, this is a rough one, I have mad respect for Boise. They are a great team and can play great football. The only thing going against Boise is the schedule, its not that tough when your talking about the BCS.The win against VT was a great one, but when VT starting stumbling this year that game lost all credibility. Which brings me to Auburn getting shafted at #4. Personally I think they should be #2 or 3. At least jumping Boise at 3. Lets again look at the schedule, we have played 2 ranked teams this year, and have 2 more big ones to go, #6 LSU this weekend and #8 Bama end of the season.  Now assuming we beat LSU I would think the BCS ratings would put us at 3, jumping Boise after their cupcake game this weekend. Then if we run the table and beat Bama then there is no reason Auburn should not be #1, topping OU mainly because of schedule strength. I would call OU and AU to be in the big game this year with AU #1 and OU #2. This would be interesting since some family of mine graduated from OU and are big OU fans. There is a lot of football to be played and hopefully it is not a 2004 repeat.

Score #3 - The Hat Trick down memory lane
So you know those songs, or smells, or items that bring your mind back to an awesome time, a fun memory that just makes you smile? I have had a lot of those lately. Earlier today I was listening to Hollywood Undead and thought of my trip to Toronto with Grumpy, Wisers and The Nerd for the concert. I got this amazing feeling of just calmness and happiness. I miss times like those. It got me to thinking that this happens to me a lot and I love it. Its memories like those that let me know I have great friends and am living a great life. And when I have those moments where I am so beyond happy that I get the chills, and even 2 or 3 times before get a little watery in the eyes because I am so happy, it makes me feel good to be alive. So I just wanna say to all of my Canadian friends, thanks for the fun times and memories, and as the snow will begin to fall here, it will bring back even more memories of goin down the hill to Macs and Timmies, trips to Sudbury and Toronto, drinking in the snow and many more times that I am thankful for you guys and I miss you all!

Game Over,

Meat Hammer Times

Well what a week this has been. Just thought I would take a bit of time to fill in the blanks here. I started school this week, first time walking into a classroom environment in 7 years. Exciting and lame all at the same time. But I feel this term will be fairly easy. Intro to Criminal Justice will just be fun and interesting, mass communication is just common sense and film in society, I get to watch cool movies every week. And people say school sucks.

I have also started making friends/enemies at work already and I am only 3 weeks in. But I knew this would happen and really they can just piss off. One individual specifically was "creeped out" because I did my job and asked them to take off their jacket so I can check the pockets before they left and asked to check their bag. Apparently this is a creepy thing. Turns out they spoke with some of their leadership about it and got all butt hurt over it. I am thinking it may be a misunderstanding because over the last 4 years, my old store has gone to shit. People not only don't do their jobs, they don't know the rules of the job either. I am making big waves there and some people are getting annoyed. Well suck it up buttercup, you are there for 8 hours to work, not to be a lazy ass. On the plus side, with the help of Boss Lady, I am finally going back to the sales floor. This is exciting because I love to talk to people, and if I remember correctly, which I do because I am a man and a man is never wrong, I was damn good at my job. However I am not to sure my new supervisor is as excited as me. I think I will lay low in the new department for a few weeks and see how everyone works, then follow up with my suggestions and form my opinions then. Probably not a good thing to walk in with preconceived ideas.

Football football football. Fuck I love football. I held back on most trash talking this weekend but now I gotta pull it out. 29 wins in a row nobody gives a fuck. I have said for 2 years now that Alabama football is overrated, they have holes and its just a matter of time before someone exposes them. 3 weeks ago that happened, and this past weekend, they ate it. Finally Bama went down and will hopefully knock every thick headed Bama fan down with them. On the plus side of that, the team that beat Bama, lost to Auburn. Yea thats right. WAR DAMN EAGLE! And in 2 more weeks me and my old man will be going to the Tiger Bowl. I kinda feel bad for him because I don't want him to feel out of place that weekend but I fear he might. We will drive to Auburn on Friday  and meet with some of my friends for a tailgate on Saturday. I am sure pops will enjoy that, hanging out with a high school friend Dixie and miss Auburn Gator, having some beer and just swapping stories, drinking and goofing off until the game. And my old man has some funny stories to tell. As far as I know he hasn't been to a college football game before though which is real cool that I can go with him to his first. And its cool to be able to have a guy weekend. Then after the game when Auburn becomes the only unbeaten in the SEC, he will probably go get sleep for the drive home on Sunday while I go roll Toomers corner and drink some more.

Life after succubus is great too. I am back to normal, more normal than I thought I would be.  I have found a "date" for Halloween night, just a friend from work but at least I still get to do my Batman idea. I will be the Joker and she will be Harley Quinn. I am more than excited for this. I have also been talking to cop the last couple of weeks, and if things fall into place I might be able to get her to Halloween night also. Nothing real big but enjoyable to get back out there. She was lucky enough to go to Boise State this weekend for the game, and the sweetheart she is took a picture of that glorious blue field and sent it to me. I was jealous.

Life has just been plugging along here and although my life seems care free and fun, events of the recent past are not forgotten. A very nice service was held for Mrs.Washington this past week, still praying for Mr. Washington and LSU's dad is still hanging in there but sadly not looking up. Another relative is making some major health changes after this week and I really hope it helps. I really look up to this guy and would be in a lost world without him, so Texas you better do more than look at pretty girls at the gym!

Well now that we are all up to date I will leave you with this spectacular set of numbers...

35-21

The Myhre Meat Hammer

US Military 18+

So this past weekend I spent in Norfolk VA. It was a fun, heartbreaking and amazing experience. Which leads into why I am blogging about the US Military. While in Norfolk I went to Yorktown and walked on the battle grounds that secured what we now call America.

We walked in the trenches, and tried to imagine what it was like laying down in the trenches, looking over just enough to see the battleground, firing mortars and cannons and rifles and how it must have felt to know that if you lost this battle, you very well could have lost America. Just beside the battle ground we saw one of many graveyards. As we entered one of the first stones we saw read "one unknown soldier". This tore at the heartstrings, as we walked we saw many names, and where they were from. Most from the New York infantry. Further in we saw stones that read "two unknown soldiers" and "three unknown soldiers" This was a hard thing to see. As we walked further the pride and sorrow swelled in my body.
The US military is the same today as it was so many years ago. Today, brothers and sisters in arms are fighting for America just as we continuously have since the start of our military. Most of America supports our troops which they damn well should. I can remember a time shortly after my desert tour having a welcome home lunch thrown for me, and this little kid, had to be like 5 or something, loved to play "soldier". He had a little toy gun he would run around with. Him and his mom came up to me and she knelt down and told her son "that is the man who just fought in the war". This little kid snapped to attention like he had just left Basic Training and threw his hand against his forehead to salute me. One of my proudest moment sin the Air Force. But that is the way America should be, they should remember that without the military, all branches, America would not be here. And for the most part, it is. But there are those people, the ones who think we are baby killers, that we are just war hungry, and violent.
Thankfully I have not been in a situation where someone bashes the military in front of me, I really don't know how I would react. But these people who say terrible things and have no respect for us they don't realize that millions of us have died for the to have the right to be such cocksuckers. We are fighting a war today and in years past so that they are free to say whatever they want, but these bastards don't realize without us, they would be speaking French, or German, or be slaves. These heartless, soulless, gutless ass fucks don't deserve to be in America. Fuck their opinion, its not needed, I would care less if all of these selfish fucks died, America would be better off. Now, all of this said, there are many people who support the troops with all of their heart, but not the war. This can be for many reasons flawed or not. And these people may not even support our leadership in the great land. But at least they are smart enough to know that without the military, they would not have the freedom and the right to think that.
I have many friends who are in the service of every branch, and with as bias as we all are about our specific branch, no branch would be where they are without the sister branches. This is proven everyday by all of the joint operations. And even though every service member is not on the front lines with a weapon, there are some in safe places fighting a war, or even sitting in an office on the home front, with out all of them working together we would not be who we are today, and everyone of them would give their life to save this great country.
To all my brothers and sisters in arms, to all of the fallen from the very first bullet of the very first war, to every veteran, to every injured member lying in a stretcher, I thank you. You will never be forgotten by me, or by America. God bless you and America.
