So I was sitting at the computer this morning after gorging myself on two cans worth of Chef Boyardee when I realized I probably wasn’t going to do anything today. So I didn’t. Well, nothing productive anyways. I fiddled around with Windows Movie Maker to smash together a semi-power hour-like montage but only got up to minute 8 before I ran out of music video clips to distract the viewers. And, A.D.D. being the beast that it is, I grew tired of doing it too. Although I do like the timed out scenes indicating when you’re supposed to drink, for mine it’s a dogfight between an F-15 and my all-time favorite, the F-16. When you hear the 16 pilot say he’s going in for the kill, that’s your cue to do what you do. The rest of the day was well spent playing Battlefield 2142, and ended with my fiance calling me on her way home telling me that Virginia is on fire. That’s not good.
So now I’m sitting here still, only this time with an empty plate which used to contain what I like to call “Messy Eggs”. If anyone has the same cooking style as I do, i.e. throw a bunch of stuff into a pot/pan and cook the hell out of it, just about everything comes out as a messy something. It’s just those oh so few dishes that don’t turn out that way that make them special. This one is so special it should be wearing a helmet and taking the short bus.
And I’ve digressed once again. But then again, I should’ve had a topic to begin with to even be able to digress. It’s my weblargh, I’ll digress from nothing if I want to. Nobody reads this anyways.
So, the mighty F-16. Not what it was supposed to be, and that makes me sad. But I do think it ironic that it has performed so well and proven itself quite necessary despite how much the Air Force didn’t want it. But in the words of someone greater than I, “You can’t always get what you want…sometimes you’ll find you get what you need.” And now I’ve lost interest in talking about that too. I was toying with the idea of putting down my gripes about the F-22 but I wanted to go back and read some more of Col. Riccioni’s stuff as well as Pierre Sprey’s. Then coupled with what I’ve seen/heard by working with them, we’ll see what comes out. And I’m done.
