Well
Now I live in Galveston. I suppose that makes me a Galvestonian, or Galvestinian...perhaps a Galvestite.
Galvestite (n)
1. One who resides in Galveston.
2. One who dresses up like a 'gal'.
At least it's in Texas. Dammit I feel like myself again. And I'm no longer a U.S. Marine. Now I am officially a veteran, so I can grow old and get fat now.
Some things I learned from the past five years:
1. The great majority of the world outside the United States is composed of simple-minded savages who understand violence and suffering, and not much else.
2. The majority of U.S. citizens don't really know or refuse to believe that.
3. Europeans are capable of being really cool, as are Australians.
4. Ditto the Japanese (although they are perverts).
5. Indians are good. Pakistanis are evil.
6. The Nepalese, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, Filipinos, Saudis, Egyptians, Indians, Kuwaitis, Iraqis, and even some Pakistanis agree with #5.
7. The Democratic Party is also evil.
8. As are the Republicans.
9. And the French.
10. And California as a whole, although individual Californians might be good guys.
11. North Carolina is my second-least favorite state. (Mississippi is the least, Missouri third-least favorite.)
12. Full Metal Jacket is funny.
13. M.A.S.H. is funny also, and now I understand why.
14. "9/11? What's that? You mean we used to support Bush? *frantic look around* No! We deny reality! Terrorists don't hate us!! America is evil! I want my MTV!"
15. Everyone guilty of #14 is an asshole.
16. ...which includes most people supporting Kerry on the 'I hate Bush' bandwagon. Try having an opinion you arrived at yourself without the help of some Hollywood dipshit telling you what to think.
17. I am a ninja.
Now to see if I can eke out a living here. Chances look good. I have a feeling I'll probably really enjoy my time in this town, though in the future (1-2 year timeframe) I'll probably head toward Austin. We'll see.
