I'm blogging on behalf of

I'm blogging on behalf of Michelle (although she didn't ask me to) because she is heinously busy. This time last week, she knew that by Wednesday this week she'd need to produce 'just a couple' of worksheets, and a powerpoint presentation. Later in the week, the requirement of 'original art' was added, along with multiple extra pages. The project has gone from a hack, whip it up in an afternoon job, to a full-on workbook. This morning, the project management deigned to inform Michelle that the presentation is on Wednesday, not Thursday. Hence the cussing below, and the reason that most of y'all are blocked.

OK. I have two words

OK. I have two words for all of those people who are anti guns. TRY IT. I had the opportunity to fire live rounds at little cardboard targets over the weekend and it KICKED ASS. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first....what with the ability to, like, kill people and everything.....but after a while you get quite into it and it is a real rush. Now I know that a whole lot of people won't agree with me, due to their personal moral convictions, but what the hell. It was good fun. I can entirely recommend it, and I think everyone should at least give it a go to experience the feeling. Strong, powerful, in-control....all words I would use to describe a quarter of the feelings that I felt after the first hour or so with the weapon. Have I mentioned that it KICKED ASS. I also got the opportunity to view the detonation of anti-personnel mines. Again, what a rush. These things are devastating. You would NOT want to be on the wrong end of one of these babies. And when 5 are detonated simultaneously..*oh my god*. Literally mountain shaking. Isn't it amazing mankinds inventiveness when it comes to ways of maiming, incapacitating and killing other members of our species. What a funny species we are. OK that is enough for now. I will be back.
