Here I thought people didn't read my blog because I'm a lazy bastard and never update, but it's really because of Men!

An article in the New York Times Fashion & Style section about the BlogHer conference brushes over how woman bloggers aren't taken as seriously as their male counterparts.

Judging from the article, most of the blogs by those woman look like things nobody care about. Sorry, but your vapid, shallow life doesn't make me care about your blog. Four of the blogs mentioned in the article are about stuff that I certainly don't care about in any way, shape, or form. Three of those were about being a mom.

Okay, so you're writing a blog about things no one cares about except maybe other woman or a very small nitch audience and you're complaining about not being taken seriously? Glancing at the top 100 female bloggers list, there seems to be a lot of "mom" related blogs. Looking over the top 5, there seems to be a lot about people's lives. Not really interesting.

I wouldn't take your blog seriously if you had information that was completely wrong right at the top of your page.

We're seeing a flurry of tweets indicating there was an earthquake in San Diego - nothing on the "news" yet - but our very own Erin Kotecki Vest gave us the scoop.

The earthquake was in L.A. I knew that yesterday around noon while I was at work. I saw it on the news at work yesterday afternoon. It's now the next day that I'm seeing this information at the top of BlogHer's page. It makes them look like a bunch of idiots. I don't know, but I think you're too dumb to blog if you can't click the edit button. (info removed from BlogHer)

Or saying things that just sound stupid:

The high gas prices may actually work some magic when things are all said and done. If the pain gets great enough perhaps it'll create a willingness to try something new even in environments traditionally reluctant to change such as say the workplace. Now that I see some seriously overweight sedentary people taking the plunge and riding old bikes on errands in my neighborhood (a good thing!) I know radical changes can be possible even in the most stubborn of people.

I go to the gym. In a car. It seems just a little mess up to wish for high gas prices just because there are fat, lazy people who supposedly won't work out otherwise. This first paragraph doesn't even have anything to do with the actual article and that is the teaser displayed on the main page. Uh... Okay... The only reason I even looked at the rest of the article is to get the link. I would think the lead-in paragraph would have something to do with the rest of the article.

Maybe if you don't sound like a complete dumbass when you talk, I'll take you seriously.

First of all, does it surpries you one fucking bit that this article–about the business activites of women bloggers–is in the Fashion/Style section of the Times? Cause you know, anything women do is all about fashion and style, it’s not real manly-man shit like business and sports and technology. The Times article about how “blogging can KILL YOU!!11!!!!1!ELEVENTY!1!1!!!!” was in the Technology section of the paper. You know why? Cause the article is about how manly-man Cheeto-huffing bloggers could DIE!!!! from manly-man stress-induced disorders like HEART ATTACKS!!1Q!!1!! Cute little laydeez chit-chatting about blogging and other little cute shit they do on the Internet? Fashion/Style.

I guess it's pretty cool that even people with severe mental handicaps can post on blogs too. Oh wait, this person is just dumb! That's sad. It's the second paragraph and it only gets worse.

I stumbles upon an article that rates cities based on how many personal freedoms you can enjoy without being litigated to death. It lists the 35 most populated municipalities in the United States. I've lived in or near all of the bottom four cities and actually been to all those places. But at least I'm moving up on the list!

35: Chicago Hey, I was just there for a few months last year. Lucky me! I hate Chicago. Especially in the winter.

The Windy City’s litany of meddlesome laws range from a tax on bottled water to a ban on serving alcohol at all-nude strip clubs.

34: Seattle I lived across the Sound from Seattle and went there on occasion. Actually, I moved from Seattle late last year.

Washington was one of the first states to prohibit alcohol in the last century, and the city’s restrictions on strip clubs and card rooms are legendary. In the last five years, the nanny impulse has gone into hyperdrive.

33: New York I lived about four hours north of New York City. In the winter. Winter in New York blows. We had to chisel the ice away from our mailbox just so the mailman would deliver our mail. By "chisel" I mean "stab and pummel with a shovel". Of course I left just before the horse racing season started.

New York competes with Chicago as a trailblazer for bad new ideas, whether it’s the 2003 ban on smoking in bars and restaurants, the 2006 decision to create and maintain an active, involuntary database of the blood sugar levels on every resident diabetic, the 2007 ban on trans fats in restaurant cooking oil, or the 2008 rule that fast food chains must show calorie content on their menus.

32: San Diego This is where I live now.

Worst of all, San Diego recently joined an unfortunate statewide trend by banning alcohol on public beaches under all circumstances.

I bet this was somehow cause by those darn drunken sailors. The only reason San Diego exists is because of the ninety million various military bases in the area.

Ironically, I've been to all of these places courtesy of the Navy. Boot Camp and various schools are located in Great Lakes, IL, a stones throw away from Chicago; Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is located across the Puget Sound from Seattle; Ballston Spa, NY has a Department of Energy site populated by a bunch of sailors; San Diego has several bases including the Naval Air Station North Island which is where my ship and the recently cripples Washington are located.

1: Las Vegas Maybe I should move to Sin City next to see what it's like to live in a city that has the least amount of government annoyance.

When a fourth-grader asked him what he’d take to a deserted island, Goodman said a show girl and a bottle of gin.

There is way too much stupidity in the world.

Let's start with my bosses. Why are they so dumb? First you should know that I'm in the Navy and on one of the crappiest ships in the Navy. Second you should know that I'm an Operation Specialist (aka OS: we stare at radars). Third, it is widely know throughout the Navy that the OS rate has no job what-so-ever in port being that the radars are shut off. It is expected that if you are an OS you leave within two hours of coming to work. But not on this ship.

We aren't even given busy BS work anymore and yet are forced to stay for hours and hours to do nothing. And what happens when we sit around and do nothing because we are given nothing to do? We get bitched at. Hello dumbass, you didn't give us anything to do! How do you bitch that your people aren't doing anything when you don't give them anything to do? How many time are we going to clean the same damn places? Did I mention that all of our spaces are lock all the time so no one can even get into them except for us?

That's right all of our LOCK spaces are cleaned on a daily basis despite no one besides us going into them.

I don't watch TV or pay much attention to what goes on in the world in general anymore, but I did have the misfortune of noticing that at least one of the people running for president is a complete idiot. That would be Obama.

It's not so bad when you watch those nice, edited clips of Obama on TV since they edit out the ninety million times he says "um". I was watching some clips of Obama saying something stupid on the Internet and all I hear was "um, bla bla bla bla, um, bla bla bla, um". This is the guy people what to be president of the United States.

Oh, that and he's campaigning for president in Europe. Someone needs to tell that man that they don't vote in the election. Who campaigns in Europe for president of the United State? Shouldn't you be trying to win MY vote? Dumbass.

Let's not overlook how he constantly says stupid shit like how we have 57 states. Sure, maybe he really knows how many states the U.S. has, but that doesn't excuse the fact he has the social skills of a retarded monkey having a seizures. Is this really the guy we want representing our country?

At least if he does become president it won't last long. If the stress of being president doesn't crush him, I'm pretty sure Hillary will be plotting his demise. We all know what a crazy bitch she is.

Anyone that believes in global warming is also a complete idiot. I remember global cooling being all the rage on the news in the 80s. What, does Mother Nature have mood swings or something? In the span of 10 years the earth is just going to magically start becoming a inferno of death? What happened to "the next ice age" that was supposed to be just around the corner? I guess even Mother Nature can suffer from PMS. I would figure people would be kind of skeptical about global warming just because of that whole lack of any kind of evidence. Aren't scientist supposed to, I don't know, have data and do research before claiming some sort of crazy shit?

If only I was really dumb, I could be blissfully ignorant of everything.

After having my site hacked and being away from home & Internet form most of the last 18 months, I finally had time to re-do my blog script. There's some boring info about it on the about page.

Over the next random length period of time, I'll be adding some of the stuff worth keeping from before. Which is the PHP tutorials, guides, and rants.

I made it all myself. I even drew the workout guy. There's this random puppy floating around too. The puppy was modled after a keychain of a fat-little puppy I bought in Hong Kong.

Hey, there he is.

That's all I've got for now. You'll know I've posted more when this isn't the first post on the main page.
