I think I saw somewhere Arizona also has the most STD infested college women... Eh its not really a true college 'frat like' experiece if you dont have to get 'rodded off the range' from a blackout night at least once. J

I don't know. Coming from Europe... I'd pick the East Coast as it actual has a semblance of culture or history. Boston in particular is a hoot. If you are outdoor-zy further North Or a real city, like Chicago If CO, I recommend Boulder If it has to be CA, make it the Bay Area...or similar in Oregon. There is only one city in Texas and its Austin. Texans may say its not Texas though. Florida pretty much sucks North Carolina can be a win as well. The other thing you left off about the South is by far it has the laziest, most redneck, and despicable humans in the country. Avoid it like the plague. Worth a visit, but not a place to study. I'd also skip New York. If that is your thing, go to Tokyo instead. WAY better. You raise valid points Sean. The reson for my suggesting these areas is due to the diversity of these areas. He seems to have an idea of what the states may be like and I figure why not give him some of the red-neck fun and or slutty chicks. But still, your points are much better than mine. As for skipping New York, if its the city you mean by that then sure. The rest of the state can be okay. Is it always exciting and tons of shit to do? Not really but damn if I dont love it. J

1) Arizona has the easiest college chicks 2) The sports teams are the best in the south east. TEXAS DOES NOT COUNT 3) Best ski weather is in Colorado 4) Florida has the best part locations without being buggy as shit Questions answered. J

Two of the next parts of the sleeve are the two ment from 'Wish You Were Here', and the Dark Side of the Moon album cover.......After that I am not 110% certain.........Thinking the two heads from the 'Division Bell'. Tempted to have the screaming face on the wall on the elbow...........TEMPTED. J

God I love coming back to seeing how you still seem to know all. My thoughts and prayers from those involved. I have met the Senator twice before. She was always very polite and well spoken. J

Working on a Pink floyd sleeve. These were taken Thursday night (same night of the ink). Spent about 2.5-3 hrs in the chair.

Not a fan of Atlanta!

Lookin like I am getting a go fast toy and a truck................details as they work out

Hopeing enough snow melts to get a new (to me) toy out. J

Used to have pics of him cocking his head just like that dog. J

CF is an option for mst, but the lower on the lines you go the less it is worth the money IMO. These have NO CF upgrades. Just dual 2 ohm coils. J

Not our uparmored. Or at least that I have seen. I wouldnt mind one but the gas milage blows. J

Soon Ryan soon.............The 4 of them (3 still in the sealed boxes) will be powered by a stetsom 10kd. Still undecided on a vehicle as i still have to go back for about 6 more months in the sandbox before I buy something. J

I definatly like them. They have some nice weight on them too. Cant wait till summer to install. And yes the dog pics are included........poor guys eyes wouldnt quit shining. J

Well hello!!

My issue is limited to how people are going to react to it. I dont think we need the added stress of people being against it. For some people its religous, for some its how they were brought up, and others its personal. I'll just say this man, its uncomfortable enough having to do a piss test with someone lookin at ur cock watching u try to piss in a little cup. Having another guy glaring at you when you hop out of a lukewarm shower beacuse there isnt much hot water, is not exactly the most comfortable feeling in the world. Hell its bad enough when people try and talk while in the showers add in someone meat gazing, and its just awkward city. I am not homophobic. I have been friends with a few homosexual men and women. Most of them were the most caring kind people I have ever known. Do I have a personal objection to serving with them in the military? No. Do I have a problem with them having a picture of them and their 'life partner' on their desk like most of us have the wife and/or kid? NO. My issue would only be is if they guys were bullshitting baout the chick they picked up this weekend and we had one of the homosexuals come up and start talking about slamming/being slammed by another guy. That for me is uncomfortable. But if we allow them to serve openly one of two things happen 1) We now have to FURTHER watch who is around when we have 'guy talk' 2) we have to endure they stories too........and I dont see that happening. J That is a societal problem you are describing. The US government and religious propaganda regarding our bodies has ruined our capability to be appropriately social. There should be no taboo about being naked, nor should anyone be ashamed of their body. It is so unhealthy it drives me nuts. Europe is light years ahead of us in this regard. The ONLY person that it makes a difference to is the one that is insecure. Why do you care who you talk in front of, who you rub up against, or who see's you naked? If you do, it is only your insecurity that causes this. J, this isn't a rip on you, but how we were raised. I understand completely your feelings, but the history of how those feelings were developed I despise. Our country is completely jacked when it comes to how we are so scared of being naked in front of other people it is just super unhealthy. Last week I went to a Roman bath. I went with our President, the Head of Engineering, and some others. Not all were straight. There were also women there. No one stared, no one was uncomfortable and no one was wearing clothes. Completely natural to them, but I can guarantee that I am pretty much the only American in my company that would have felt okay in that situation. I promise NOT to raise my son to be scared of his body and will condemn those that do. My issue is limited to how people are going to react to it.

J Question is... What stops them from looking already? When you sign up they don't ask if your straight or gay.. they tell you to keep it to yourself.. Just because you're not out... doesn't mean you're not in the military.. 1) Navy, part of paperwork is saying your not gay, never have been and never will be. So in all actuallity it is there on one branch. 2) Your right it they are serving and not out. The problem is when its allowed whats to stop them from making comments, or making people uncomfortable? If they dont segregate the straight showers from the gay showers, it has the potential to be as bad as if they had co-ed showers. I know that makes me sound homophobic, but I'll be damned if I havent learned alot about people's view points since I have been in. I guess my main point is, if I cant get a look at the hott females getting naked to get in or out of the shower, then why can the gay guys get a view of my ass and or cock? J You do realize it only bothers you because you let it. I could care less who see's me naked, it won't make me want to change what I like. And if it makes the looker happy, then so be it. Be happy. Honestly, Its not a personal bother. I realize the way I explain things seems to come from a 'personal' standpoint, but in all actuallity it stems from a 'work' perspective. I know how people I am around through work are uncomfortable with it. They see problems with it. One of the main problems is logistics. Think about is, not every state allows gay marriage. Not every state will honor a gay marriage certificate. As such how can the military allow gays to be married as the federal government has left it up to the states? Also what about rooming, do we move all the homosexual men and women into a seperate building, wing, or floor? If so that is discrimination. The shower issue is beacuse in the military a decent percentage of women are lesbian and do make a big fuss to check out other women. Gay males have a tendancy to do the similar if not the same thing. It is not a 'homosexuals wide' thing but it does happen rather frequently here. Basically, I just see it causing more issues than it is going to end up being worth. If they allow all coed rooms, showers, and pissers THEN we can call it equal. Yes I am saying I am a dirty mother fucker and want to sneak a peak at some of these women's tits. And if she would let me I would!!! Call me crazy, not rational, or whatever else you want but to me this couldnt of come at a worse time for our military. The troop level is already stressed out over deployments, salary vs worth ratio, people losing their families, and losing best friends. Adding in a topic as Taboo as this will not help. Also to the guy who brought up the higher brass, the commadant of the Marine Corps has publically said 'We will need time to build them seperate billets. The straight Marines will not willingly share a shower nor a room with a openly homosexual person'. Is that close minded of them to segregate? Yes, but is it fact that there will be many issues? You bet you ass there will be. J

I can see ur point on all this. But my question is when you say the brass and the guys on the bottom dont like it, are you meaning the repeal or DADT period? J

You in Europe? Where? I have to fly through to get home for the holidays. What country, I do not know until I get on the plane LOL. Nothing like flying someplace, but not knowing ahead of time where you are heading. J

PERSONALLY, I could give a flying fuck less. I just know how people serving with me feel. MANY would not be comfortable, and they survey was done in a possibly dangerous way. J I don't serve. I think it would be great to be out and open. However, every single person I know who is active or retired feels that DADT should stay. None of them are bigots or have any issue with gays serving. They all just feel that it's not the time or the climate for that to happen. I frankly don't have a damn clue why civilians have any right to decide on the social climate of the millitary. Your preaching to the choir. They need a rule........minimum 5 years service for senate or house, 10 years president. Must be combat arms for Sec. Defense. J

I love Europe. Beautiful countries, great food, hott women. But right now.....FUCK THEIR WEATHER. J

Hope all turns out ok bro. Jq

Yes that is convienient. Now open up, stick your tongue out and say ahhhhhh J
