Yes. It was very fascinating. We did things so differently. Now, with the internet information spreads so fast.

What Am I Good At
I used to be good at tanking in World of Warcraft. But I started losing aggro, during Mists of Pandaria. But nevertheless, I still managed to tank during Shadowlands. It was excilerating.

I Never Voted For Bush, or Obama
In 2013, I was onboard USS Princeton. As I was walking from the smoke pit, to Radio, I had this thought. I realized nobody could beat Clinton- not even Ted Cruz. I thought, “What if Trump ran? He could beat Clinton.” Imagine my surprise, when in 2015 Trump declared his candidacy! As a Republican. I voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and I am going to vote for Trump in 2024! Give your heart to Jesus, and your vote to Trump!

Why Do I Blog?
Well, I blog for a number of reasons. For one, I have a need to write my thoughts out once in a while. I also enjoy having readers. Occasionally, by doing the writing prompts I have gotten additional followers. Whether they read my blog again or not is another story.
Another reason I blog, is because I have short term memory loss from my time in the NAVY. By writing things down, I can remember them much better. If I forget, I have written them down, so I can go look them up.
I also am in a major life transition. This makes it where I want to write, more and more. I wish I could catch you up on ALL of the things God has done for me. How I got a thirty day supply of my medicine, by going into Seattle. How I made it to the Evergreen State Fair, by going on Highway 2.
One day, I hope to write a book about my time in the NAVY. I think that will inspire others to write about there time in the NAVY. So, in order to prepare for that, I have decided to blog. In the end, I just want to share my thoughts. But I had to explain all this, for you to be able to grasp why it, ultimately, that I blog. Quite simply- I enjoy it.

Top Ten Favorite Movies
I sit down, thinking I don’t need to do the writing prompt- only to end up doing the writing prompt. It is hard to choose my favorite movies. But I have several in mind. The list might be longer than just ten.
Top Gun: Maverick because I really feel like that was Tom Cruise’s masterpiece- although Vanilla Sky was pretty good too.
Sound of Music, its interesting, because the older I get, the more I get out of watching that movie. Especially the History. Well, I am a History Major, so that makes sense.
Saving Private Ryan. I remember watching that one, in the theater when it first came out. The opening scenes were just so traumatic. But in the end, it ends up being a good story.
Sweet Home Alabama I really liked that one. It was a cute film, about a girl who lives in New York who returns to her home in Alabama. After re-connecting with everyone, she marries her old lover from High School. Starring Reese Witherspoon.
The Ring is my favorite scarry movie. I like how, the film makers made it scarry without any gore, or blood. Just such a brilliant film. Some of the antics from the film have made there way into Popular culture.
The Guns Of Naverrone with Gregory Peck is another great war film. It shows a story about a little known action, to silence some German Guns.
Star Wars I love the original Star Wars movies. There were books written about what happened after. I always enjoyed reading those. Not sure what Disney was thinking, when it made its version of Star Wars, but as a series I think it worked out though, to be alright. My friend Billy introduced me, and my brother to Star Wars. I was hooked, as a child.
Jurassic Park is another one I like. Even as an adult, many of the scenes from the original are still scarry, with the lighting and everything. It was impressive, the very first time too.
Star Trek IV I am not as big of a fan of Star Trek, as I am of Star Wars. I just don’t get, most of Star Trek, is why. But each time I watch it, the fourth film is enjoyable, and it came to mind when I saw the writing prompt. Thank you, WordPress!
Chronicles Of Riddick. I really enjoyed that movie. I know, it is supposed to be an alternative to Star Wars, which it could never truly be. I love the way the film ends, even though I get a little sad when she dies. It is such a surprising ending though. Riddick goes from a fugitive, on the run. To leading a powerful “ghost” army.
Pitch Black not as much as I enjoy Riddick, but I like how you get to know some of the characters in Riddick, especially the girl, and how she helps Riddick.
The Passion of the Christ, which I saw in Perth Australia.
Also Battleship which I saw in Japan.
Well, that makes thirteen films. But I had to really think about the last two, but here it is. My top ten favorite movies.

I Feel Affection
Thats the one for me. I feel affection for my family. I am up, in Washington State, waiting to hear back from a job interview, and I actually miss my family. But, I am happy to be in Washington State. Not sure for how long, but I see God’s hand in this, so I need to give it a shot I believe. Whatever happens.

Three Things I Would Change
For one, I would not have been born with Asperger’s Syndrome. I wish I could change that about myself, and be a normie. Having Asperger’s Syndrome has caused many problems in my life. For one, I got kicked out of the NAVY, not once, but twice. For another, I ended up having to drop out of college on top of that. I expect I will never be able to get a government job now, because I might have issues with my clearance. But I will not give up. I also think that Asperger’s Syndrome prevented me from being able to get married- but I think thats because I was not yet diagnosed. Had I been diagnosed, it might have been a different story. Oh, well.
Second thing I would change, would be never getting kicked out of the NAVY. I never saw my discharge coming. Eventually, no matter how long you are in, you have to get out eventually. But being kicked out? What a nightmare. I fear it will never end. I never really did anything to be kicked out. When I had issues, I sought help. Now, I am sitting in Cheyenne, Wyoming because I am not sure what to do with myself. I am excited for my journey, it was fun driving here. I saw a lot of Colorado. I also am going to enjoy this summer weather in Cheyenne. I have the History channel on.
Thirdly, I never would have taken up smoking. Smoking is nasty, it smells. I feel like smoking helped to create an impression, with my supervisors in the NAVY. This impression lead to me eventually having to get out, before I could retire. I also feel that smoking pushed some girls away, that I was interested in. It probably prevented me from ever having a family. Over all, the impression people get when they see me smoke, seems negative. People who do not know I smoke, treat me differently. Its also been extremely difficult to quit. The longest time I was able to quit smoking was for four months in San Diego, California. Then, a day came where I wanted a cigarette, and could not figure out what to do next. I quit several times before and after that, with no success. Infact, my smoking increased in volume.
In conclusion, I wish I had never been born with Asperger’s. Asperger’s syndrome has ruined my life more than once. Yet, I did meet Scott. Scott is the turn around. I wish I had never gotten out of the NAVY. I also wish I had never taken up smoking. So far, my life is full of bad decisions. Well, Eve Online just finished updating. Time for a cigarette, and then to play some Eve. Have a good day! Thank you for reading my blog.

Stay Active
Daily writing promptWhat strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?I do not like going to the gym. Gyms have a smell that I do not like. So, I do my best to stay active, in my job, in my interests, whatever it is. At work, I walk around the warehouse, for example. Thats plenty of exercise for me. Right now, though I am taking a vacation from work. I am going to take a road trip to Michigan. I think that will help my well-being, whereas staying active helps my health.
