Techno Stripes

So I didn't make Tech again...
Ohh well can only blame myself, but 2012... will be the year! I am now ready. I am ready to progress! I am ready to expand my knowledge and experience. After this class, my goal to finish my CCAF before I leave Germany will be accomplished! Then I am going to study, study, study! I will make Tech in 2012! I will make it a little later since I will have to test out of cycle... but I will make it, and I will deserve it!

2012... punch my stripes on! There's gonna be a party!

I fucking hate you Andy's Auto Sport!

This is very upsetting news, since I had the perfect time today to replace them, got everything off and then noticed on the box it states these springs are for an accord... plus they are to small in dimension.  Its very frustrating, since now i will have to wait a couple of weeks/month again for the correct springs that I have ordered
Please let me know what you can do.
Thanks,
Kess

Thank you,

Hello Thomas, yes it looks like we did confirm you were sent the wrong ones. We can gladly send the correct ones, but because you are international we cannot issue call tags or return labels. You would need to send the parts back to a designated address and we would reimburse you the shipping cost for that return. Is this ok as it is the only option.

Please confirm, then we will get the return authorization and address for you to ship the wrong springs, then we can take care of sending the new ones.

We have 2 options, you can pay me through paypal the $75 shipping charge for the springs that was mistakenly shipped to me, then I will email you the receipts and customs form. So you then can mail my new ones.

Or

give me a refund.

Thanks

I was told over the phone that the correct springs were going to be shipped out 9th June, could I have the shipping tracking number.

Hello Thomas, unfortunately we do not have Paypal. This puts us in a dilemma unfortunately. We would like to resolve the situation, but the only option as indicated is that you would have to ship the springs back and we would reimburse you.

Even if you no longer wanted the springs and a refund on them, the problem would still arise that you would need to send the springs back, however we would reimburse you on the shipping charg

Please advise thank you,

Wow, I am so confused I spoke with a representative early this month, and he told me the new springs would be shipped on the ninth, and then I could ship out the wrong ones. If you are saying they haven't shipped yet, please refund my money for the springs Today!  This is crap... I have been waiting for my springs that I have paid for over two months now...
Please refund my money... once I see that my money has been refunded (including the shipping) I will ship the wrong ones back... scan the receipt... and then wait for that refund.
This wasn't my mistake, this was yours, so please fix it!

Hello,

We do need to see the parts come back first in order to refund you. Please send the parts back and forward us a tracking number and forward us the copy of the receipt so we can reimburse you and write a check.

Thank you,

Why is this so frustrating? Why do I feel like this is a scam? 

Why would you need to send me a check?

Refund my money back to my credit card like any other vendor would. 

Then you have proof you paid me back. 

Then keep that for your records and within a week, when the money is actually back in my bank I will mail back your springs. 

If I dont ship them back within a week or at least email you scanned shipping info, then send a collection agency after me... 

At first it took you much longer to ship this product, then it was the wrong product... 

Now transfer that amount including the shipping I paid for into my credit card account, so I can ship the wrong springs that you wrongfully shipped to me back to you. 

I will not ship the springs back to you until I receive a full refund back into my account! 

If this doesn't happen by Friday... I will take these emails, my receipts and everything I have about this company to the legal office on base to figure out a plan on how I can get some lawyers involved for this scam!

I paid for a product, that I never received....  and now you dont want to give me back my refund that I have requested until I ship back your mistake...on my dime! 

Which could take a couple of weeks to get to you... then I am suppose to believe you will send me a check.... let me guess, your company will make a mistake somehow again... and loose the check.... no thank you...

You have until Friday to deposit my full refund, or I will take everything to my legal office.

Thanks,

Hello,

If you have our merchandise, regardless if it's the correct one or not, your case would not hold up as we do not have to refund you as long as you have the parts in your possession. None the less, we do not want to cause any more issues for you and will refund you first as you request. Please be sure to forward tracking information to us once you have sent the parts back.

Daddy Bear's Fathers Day

Daddy bear walked to his warm cozy cave house. He just finished a hard days of work scaring people and gathering fish from the pond. He was going to surprise his wife and two daughter bears with a basket of fresh tuna! He opened the cave door just to be surprised by darkness and silence. Where was baby bear Dominique and baby bear Hayden... where was his wife bear? They were gone.
He turned on the light and noticed four warm bowls of tomato soup on top of the table.
The first bowl was way to hot.
The second bowl was way to cold, the third bowl was to salty.
The last bowl was just right.
Daddy bear had a seat and started to eat some soup. But he was distracted on the fact he was in his cave house by himself. Looking at the calender there was nothing going on today... except it was fathers day! What the fuck the daddy bear roared... Daddy bear was very upset.
He flipped the large wooden table and scattered tomato soup all over the cave kitchen's wall. How could they be gone during fathers day! This is just fucked up!
Daddy bear took the basket of tuna and threw it on the ground! He was an adult! He was a daddy!
There should be no reason for any fathers to be alone on fathers day! Daddy Bear was so upset he took his shot gun out of his cave closet and started practicing his shot. Using small family emblems hanging on the wall as targets, daddy bear was reminded what a great shot he was!
What the fuck!
He was just reminded that he actually had to work on fathers day! He left early morning to gather tuna on a day where he was allowed to rest and watch "Bear and the Big Blue House" all day!
What bull shit!
And now his wife bear and daughter bears are out doing some dumb not important girly stuff!
This is crap!
He opened a new bottle of Big Bad Bear Liquor, also known as B to the third power, sat his hairy ass on the couch and started pounding down some B3 and then started to cry.
This was his day... its sooo dumb! Then the door opened.
What the hell happened here!
Daughter Bears ran to daddy bear and gave him a hug. With a loud "happy fathers day" and a present.
"Mommy Bear let us go to the forest store to get you a gift!"

WTF

When smiles die with every breath
Words of judgment, screams of hatred, songs of empowerment take over
Torn once more from the inside out
The gift of darkness you poses weakens me, controls me, and poisons me

Finishing our story wont happen today

Fairness awaits our love to overcome this dark cloud smothering our temple

F-at F-ood F-you!

One step at a time, one day after another, one goal at a time, one fucking Whopper with cheese! Im hungry...OMG! This sucks! My PT test is on the end of the month, so trying to shed as much as I can. So no fast food, no Wooden Spoon, no butter sandwiches... well since Desiree is in the states... I really haven't eaten anything anyways...lol.

But anyhoo, I should be ok... I have been working out on my off time! Extra time lifting weights, and sheesh all that fucking running! The only thing I could still change is my eating habits. That is the tough one. I quit smoking now for a year, I pick up the toilet seat and put it back down most days, I most of the time put my dirty clothes in the hamper... but eating healthy: Ouch! I like my food. I like my snacks. I love my sweets. Healthy is dumb... yeah yeah, I know... You will live longer, You will feel less stressed. You will be fit to fight... blah blah blah! Give me my double whopper with cheese and bacon, large fries, and diet coke! 

So I am taking this online college course: Sociology.

I dont know why... I need it for my CCAF.

Yeah... I know... I dont know why, maybe its my environment and the people I am surrounded that made me pick this one... Yup I read the first chapter!

Dont think this will work for me... I cant be a class clown in an online class!

Update:

So Desiree's new car: 2012 VW CC R-line has arrived and I am in love!

Its sooooo sexy!

Ugh... I am hungry! I want some popcorn.... dipped in chocolate then deep-fried and covered in caramel and one strawberry. 

Last Walk

Walking in the forrest, alone, at first seemed like a good idea. I just finished a good run and thought why not finish my night with a cool-down walk through the forrest. 

The ground was cold. My blood was slowly racing past my face. With my last breath, I tried to block the blow that would keep my eyes shut permanently.

Finishing my run, this walk would give me the chance to finally listen to my new songs in peace. I walked in front of the darkness. The breeze felt great against my sweaty face. Turning up the music, I felt alone. I felt at peace. The trees beside me were gently falling asleep and the full moon was fighting the daylight. Shiver.

I looked behind. Was someone following me? My rested heart started waking up again. Why was I starting to feel sick? My mind is trying to confuse me, even scare me. But nobody behind me. Just the darkness slowly creeping up on me.

I better hurry and get home. Walking past the long fields of hay with nothing else in sight. Dark woods behind me, dancing fields beside me, full moon in front of me and screaming cars from the highway in the far distance. No street lights, no porch lights, no headlights, no burning cigarette cherries. Nothing. Just me and the chills taking over my body. 

Faint whistle.

Looked behind me. Alone.

Heart, is pumping double time. Nothing is around me. Why am I being paranoid? My town is about 2 minutes away. I walked this path alone hundreds of times. Why tonight, does it feel darker and colder?

Eyes closed!

My body lost power, like when you accidently pull the vacuum to far and unplug it. I just shut off. I turned back on when my face bounced on the pavement. I had no feeling. All I could hear was a loud ringing noise. Still darkness. The full moon now right above me. I shut my eyes. Just to open them again with a sharp pain. I felt my back side coming back alive. I felt electricity shooting from my lower back to my head. Not knowing what was going on I tried to turn to my side. But still impaired. Now the pain was real. My back was crushed. It felt like I was hit by a truck.

I screamed out loud.

But nothing, nothing changed.

I felt my face and it felt wet and warm. I know I was bleeding.

I screamed again.

Paralyzed,  I laid there. I screamed again. My eyes shut.

Only hearing my painful breath. I opened my eyes. I looked up and saw a dark shadow in front of the moon. 

The ground was cold. My blood was slowly racing past my face. With my last breath, I tried to block the blow that would keep my eyes shut permanently. 

Darkness.

Sparkling Vampire and the Hairy flea-infested Wolf-Boy

The bright light cut through the dark sky. The aliens have landed.

Edward the sharp tooth alien and his buddy Jacob--the hairy one, stepped for the first time on our planet. Their space shuttle flew off and Edward waved to it.... goodbye. 

Jacob farted!

Edward just shook his head and started walking towards the woods. They had one mission to find this girl that has no friends, bring her back to their planet and to make fresh cheese. 

OK never mind... I am boring myself with that story! 

I was going to make fun of the glittery vampire and the flea infested wolf boy... but never mind. I guess I'll just stick to my normal jabber! Isn't it funny how you dont miss something until it is gone! Desiree and the girls left today to start operation "Drop the kids off and have some adult time" a.k.a  Operation DKOHAT.

Needless to say, I am hungry... bored... and lazy! Its quite, I can watch what I want, and go to bed when I want. I know this must sound extremely fun and wonderful... but I honestly do miss my 3 girls. Dominique even shed some tears at the terminal! Parenting sucks sometimes! But ohh well. Now sitting here on the couch in the dark listening to some new music and feeling the draft from my over sized ripped hole from my PJ's! Stupid tight Pajamas! Well only place left for these holy pajamas is the garbage! 

So If I had a chance I would so own a pond and frogs! 36 frogs to be exact! They could swim and jump and eat flies... frogs are cool.

Tonight I am going to knuckle walk all night long! Maybe not all night long... but 12 minute sounds fun! Haven't tried it yet... shame on you! Normal people knuckle walk at least 9 times a month... sheesh your a non knuckle walker... your life could end soon! I am ready incase my legs cant support my heavy ass any more and they need my knuckles help for support... I am not gonna be the last one trying to get on a bus and have everyone wondering why I haven't made it on the bus yet! People gotta go to work you know!

Pile of wood in my backyard reminds me of a bad nightmare... eeeew!

The Hill... the untold story of Jack and Jill and Craig

The weather changes a lot on the hill that was owned by Jack and Jill.  It rained yesterday and today fire flies are flying above the rose bushes trying to catch shade from the sun. The untouched hill was a grassy field. It has never seen sharpened blades nor any other cutting utensils. Birds are chirping today and grasshoppers are singing a green song around the only man made item on this hill: The water well.

The water well was made out of magical bricks and old wood scavenged from a haunted pirate ship. The rope was made by a prostitute that once used the rope to tie up her customers. The small red bucket was bought at Wal-mart.

The well was built by a poor goose hunter named Craig. He was a well known goose hunter who killed the only goose in the world that laid golden eggs. Craig built the well with his bare man hands. The legend continues that Craig did not believe in tools or weapons. He utilized his "hands on" approached goose-hunting-style into his carpeting projects like this well... built using only his hands. The well project took 69 days and 32 nights until it was created. To bad there was no water! The well was always dry. The project was a total failure and unneeded! 

Until one day when Jack and Jill went up the hill. 

With a loud swooshing sound (I know, just sound out the word... "its a sound word") Jack and Jill was summoned to the well. 

"Its fucking water" Jill yelled!

They both looked at each other and started filling up their pale with water.

This must be some magical water they thought to themselves. 

"Maybe it will turn us into real people and not stupid kids characters, or maybe the water will turn what ever it touches into gold, or maybe the water will actually taste good?" They both suggested.

Jack thought to himself, "maybe it will make Jill shut up and finally put out!"

Jill thought to herself, "maybe this magical water will make me want to finally put out, either way I will act like it does... and I will finally let Jack have some... Ohh ya... all i have to do is drink some of this water and act like its magical... then act all horny.... Shit I might even state that this water is making me horny and just lay naked on this grassy hill!"

So, they both fell down the hill and the magical water was wasted! Jill felt sickened when she noticed Jack just laying there with his face on rock... there was blood everywhere! She ran to him and shook his body.

No response...

"Jack, Jack" she cried.

No response...

She ran back up the hill to fetch some more water to splash on Jack... but the well was empty. Bone dry.

"Dammmmn you magical well... on a hill," Jill continued to yell on her knees shacking her fist to the sky, "why would somebody built a fucking water well on a hill... FML!"

Just work...

Today was crazy at work...
Since I work at Materiel Control, I order stuff!
Yes, I sit there all day and buy stuff with not one but two credit cards!
But dont get to mad... I also have to get quotes, track, log, double check, approve, and match all purchases. Then of course the normal office crap like take care of customers, find out why something wasn't purchased, compare quotes, restock items, blah blah blah.
Ohhh I also make sure everything is done legally like, purchases above $3K have 3 quotes, make sure part numbers do/dont cross over to NSN, and I only purchase stuff  I am allowed to buy.
So thats Materiel Control... not Material... Materiel!

Today I finally got caught up... like over 30 quote requests... all my purchases complete... and pretty much ETIC is at 95%!
Thanks to all that helped out!

Empty Bag

Things are the way they are so why not take it and run away with it. 

The bags is empty but after a good run, does it really matter what it is in the bag?

At least the run was an easy one with less weight to carry. Turning around is not an option since it is late and you dont know your way back. The street doesnt seem familiar and now your lost. No friends to ask for direction, no bread crumbs on the street to follow. The iPhone is left at home, cant even add a status on facebook. Lost, alone, with an empty bag. Street lights start to flicker and then shut off, now its dark, real dark. No cars pass you, no wind against your face. Running backwards but still ending-up upfront. 

The finish line is ahead but without a goal its just a line that finishes and your empty bag is now full.

Do you want cheese with that?

Who doesn't love some nipple juice in the morning!

Why is it when I fart... i get the "eeeewwwww"
and the
"next time, do it outside"
or what about the
"WTF..."
soooo why is it funny when a girl does it?   It still stinks!

I hate when people try really hard to be badasses! When was acting "like an asshole or bitch"considered to be cool or funny? Nobody sent me a facebook status letting me know of this new trend.

Why are German wash machines sooo tiny? They would be perfect for lil people... but us normal folks, lets face it... we either need a real washing machine... or we will just do laundry all day!

So I called the legal office last week to ask them a question... they referred me to their facebook page.

A screaming kid sounds like a dinosaur giving birth... well, I am pretty sure, since they have been extinct for a couple of years... The dinosaurs that is. But pretty sure they sound the same.

Killer worms still hate salt.

I feel bad when my girls trip, fall, and hurt themselves. Should I feel bad... that when a stranger's kid falls and hurt themselves, I dont feel anything?

People in public should act like they are eating cookies and cakes with grandma. Yes... grandma stinks, has no teeth, and sucks at telling cool-interesting stories... but she will die soon!

My friends are cool.

Milk is good for your bones. It is a proven fact that Milk is needed to tighten bone cells, multiply bone crust powder, and comes from nipples... who doesn't love some nipple juice in the morning!

Fucking someone up with a phone book... does leave marks!

If you think she is hot... just remember: Hot girls have hot friends who need to prove to their friend that they are easier then the hot girl your trying to get with.


"Thank you" is not a Chines family name. Dont be afraid to use it once or twice a day.

Kess is kinda a big deal!

Lil Bob

The door slammed! "Mom the door keeps slamming shut" yelled Bob.

Bob slammed the door again... "mom, it keeps slamming shut!"

Bob enjoyed slamming doors, the noise excited him. It makes him happy! 

Slam!

Slam!

"Boy, I will slam your face on door, if you keep acting stupid!" Bob's mom told him in a sweet lady like voice.

She choked on her saltine cracker as Bob slammed the door again.

"Bobie," she yelled again in a soft voice, " I need you to stop, before I take a knife to your throat!"

Slam!

Slam!

Swoosh! There goes Bob's throat blood slamming against the door.

Ahhh piece and quite.

Bob's mom walked over his body, opened the door, and slammed it shut.

Light

Single gold aroused flare

With sweet scented death 

Brings life with dancing light

Fosters fragile heated power 

Killed with child's soft breath

Black soul vacates the candle

Ear Wax, Find It Guide, and Condoms

Pass the worm!
Going fishing is something I used to never like to do. Stupid worm guts, bloody fingers, stinky water, and hot piercing sun... just sucked for me! Lets not forget the rocking boat, weird fishing people, and the awkward silences! Living here in Germany you dont really have a chance to go fishing like the states... dont get me wrong the opportunity is there but just a little harder! So now I miss it, like when you forget to clean your ears for a week and the Q-tip has a blanket of yellow ear wax!
   You know what else bugs me... cars without license plates! It twists my nipples every time I see a vehicle that places the tags on the windshield, like ahhh that was easy! Just get your ass up and screw on your license plates! You look retarded! You look lazy and retarded! And if you are retarded and dont know how to use a screwdriver... then call somebody! Open up a Find It Guide and fucking call somebody!
   iPhones is pretty cool, iPods are important to have, iPad... well its bigger, and then... of-course there are the Macbooks. Why are the apple laptops and computers not called iMacs? Or iBooks? Or iLaptops? In my iWorld that would only make sense. Looking in the future one can only predict the other items MAC will develop: the iTV, iCar, iCooking Spoon, and for the retarded people who cant mount license plates... the iScrewdriver. Is the world ready for the iBirth Control Pill? What about a new condom... one that comes in only 2 colors and has a lighted up apple?

So now your asking yourself... what came first: The Title or the Body?

Evil Showers

I wake up, 

walk to the bathroom and gaze at that sexy guy looking back at me in the mirror. 

While shaving, I am amazed on how this shirtless guy is in shape. Nice flat stomach and sculpted arms and of course those big shoulders.

I jump in the shower and washed that god-like body. (I'll keep those details out of this blog)

Walk through the glass door, dried myself, and walked back to the sink. 

Picking up the tooth paste, I gaze at myself once more. WTF!

What happened to my tight abs?

Where did my rock hard chest go?

Who deflated my arms?

This is dumb! Stupid magical shower water! What did you do?

Why is it that taking a shower in the morning will turn you fat! 

How many calories does your body intake while taking showers? 

Why cant we have a diet shower?

 I work my ass off during the day and night, just so I look good for 3 minutes in the morning... Bull Shit!
