"Workin'@the CarWash:part 7", or "The Culmination of 30 Years in the Martial Arts"
All throughout my life, I have had many physical confrontations and fights. I have been attacked many times and defended myself. I owe my most honored and revered Panamanian Shotokan Sensei a debt of gratitude for everything he taught me when I was young. Your teachings have saved my life many, many times, Sensei. Being "your challenge" was quite an honor. I have also went on the attack when I felt it was necessary or even just for the fuck of it.
My rage is sometimes hard to contain. It is a fire that burns and burns and wants to keep on burning into a conflagration where all around me is fire and i am lightning with gasoline for blood and the if sparks keep jumping like that some shit is going to blow up. I used to believe that some day i would have my special day.....MY SPECIAL DAY.
I THINK SOME OF YOU MIGHT KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
But I have mellowed a lot over the years. I learned how to control my anger. For the benefit of the world at large as well as myself. I'm really not a nice guy. But I play one on tv. just kidding. I'm a borderline sociopath with schizophrenic tendencies and a horrible temper. Which brings me to today at the carwash. I won't bore you with my version of "adventures in babysitting", otherwise known as petty anty work-related bullshit, but...
I intensely dislike being yelled at with a finger in my face or---fucking insane--grabbing me.
And well, fuck as well, I also happen to be a Scorpio, and fairly typical one at that.
Somehow I manged to not shatter his kneecap or bite his finger clean off at the joint or stick my own finger into his eye socket.( Its a lot more rigid than you think it would be. Practice with pots of sand for a while, striking with your fingers like various animal claws deep into the sand. When you get good, switch to clay.)
I had to tell him to let of my wrist...twice.
The first time I merely smiled and pointed at my wrist where he was grabbing me.
The second time I stopped smiling and told him he fucking seriously might want to let go of my wrist.
Needless to say, he let go of my wrist and I didn't strike him in the adams's apple, or even perhaps just go off old school ghetto nigga style &grab his head and smash it against the stainless steel equipment in the car wash tunnel. Fortunately, all those years in the martial arts really payed off today....The situation has been resolved peacefully. The car wash goes on, and nobody got killed or injured or exploded or decapitated
I think my Sensei would be proud.
and I'm looking forward this great sunshiny weather.

Edit: I know that we have the satellite recon available to see the date on a quarter lying on the ground, or even the brand of cigarette that some terrorist might have in his mouth, in real time with facial recognition technology ...seems to me we could take out al queda, the taliban, or for that matter just about anybody whom ever we wanted without wasting our most precious resources on invading/occupying/ nation-building in the middle east...
Russian advice: More troops won't help in Afghanistan
By Tom Lasseter
* Posted on Monday, March 9, 2009*
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/63581.html
MOSCOW — The old diplomat sighed as he recalled his years in Afghanistan, and then leaned forward and said in a booming voice that no escalation of troops would bring lasting peace.
As the Soviet ambassador to Afghanistan from 1979 to 1986, Fikryat Tabeyev saw the numbers rise to more than 100,000 troops without any possibility of victory against a growing insurgency.
Even with President Barack Obama's plan initially to send 17,000 (40,000+?) more U.S. soldiers and Marines to that mountainous nation this year, the combined NATO-American force will be smaller than the Soviet contingent was. Moscow's failure to pacify Afghanistan, which broke the back of the Soviet Union, doesn't mean that the same fate awaits Obama's efforts, but ignoring a decade of experience there would be a mistake, former envoys and generals warn.
The Soviets rumbled into Afghanistan in 1979 to rescue a weak communist regime, a very different reason from the U.S.-led invasion of 2001, which sought to deny the 9-11 terrorists a haven. The seven years of war since the U.S. intervention, though, look familiar to the Russians.
Many challenges that bedeviled the Soviets confront the American operation today, the retired envoys and generals said. Among them are vicious tribal rivalries, a weak central government, radical Islamists, power-hungry warlords, incompetent or corrupt local military commanders, failing infrastructure and the complexity of fighting guerrilla groups. The former officials also cautioned that trying to bring democracy to Afghanistan, or anything resembling it, will be as fruitless as their attempts to install communism.
"You may elect a parliament, you may invite parliamentary delegations from Afghanistan to visit Europe, but it means nothing," said Boris Pastukhov, whose service as Soviet ambassador began in 1989, the year the Red Army withdrew. "The decisions by parliament cannot be compared with the decisions of a jirga," a tribal council.
Among the experts, there was gloating that the U.S. military is battling some of the same insurgents whom the CIA once funded to fight Moscow. All skated over the details of the brutal Soviet campaign to stomp out the Afghan resistance.
However, they also seemed to voice genuine concern about the U.S. troop buildup.
The Soviets also were convinced that superior numbers, firepower and training would make it possible to avoid the mistakes that the British and others had committed stretching back to Alexander the Great, former Ambassador Tabeyev said.
"History didn't listen to us," said Tabeyev, who's now 81. "All our efforts to restore peace in the country . . . this was a flop in the end."
The fundamental problem in Afghanistan is that it isn't a country in the way the West thinks of countries, said retired Lt. Gen. Ruslan Aushev, who did two tours there and left as a regimental commander.
"There has never been any real centralized state in Afghanistan. There is no such nation as Afghanistan," said Aushev, who's a former president of the Russian Caucasus republic of Ingushetia and now heads a veterans group in Moscow. "There are (ethnic groups of) Pashtuns, Uzbeks and Tajiks, and they all have different tribal policies."
As a result, any occupation force will spend much of its time propping up a government that has little relevance outside Kabul and trying to corral disparate ethnic groups and tribes into a national army that's often unwilling to fight, Aushev said.
"We made the same mistake when we put the weak Babrak Karmal as the head of state," Aushev said of a former Afghan president. "He was so weak that no one obeyed him. He was hiding behind the backs of Soviet soldiers. . . . Today the situation is the same; (Afghan President Hamid) Karzai is being protected by U.S. special forces."
Retired Gen. Pavel Grachev, who spent two tours in Afghanistan, including commanding an airborne division, had a tone somewhere between disbelief and shock when he discussed the news of Obama's troop buildup.
"I believed as sincerely as American officers do now that we were fighting there to help make our country safer," said Grachev, who later became defense minister and sent in Russian units to quell Chechnya during the 1990s, a campaign that also ended in disaster. "After the war, as a politician, I could see this war had been pointless."
That said, Grachev offered some advice: Post soldiers to guard road projects and irrigation systems, and send in an army of engineers, doctors, mining experts and construction advisers.
Pouring billions of dollars into infrastructure would be a lot more productive than firefights in far-flung villages, he said.
"You have to understand that in the economic sphere, Afghanistan is now at a stage lower than the Middle Ages," Grachev said.
Unlike Iraq, which has relatively large cities and highways, much of the Afghan population is dispersed across small villages of mud houses connected by dirt paths and crumbling roads. In many regions, there are no jobs other than tending poppy fields. Health care and education levels are among the worst in the world.
That, Grachev said, is a commander's nightmare; it gives insurgents and terrorists a population that sees little reason to support the Kabul government or its Western backers. The hardened military man insisted that instead of bombs, "It is urgently necessary to create a comprehensive road network!"
Retired Gen. Viktor Yermakov agreed. He led the Soviet Union's 40th Army in Afghanistan during the early 1980s, and he said that his staff officers came to realize that they simply weren't going to win the war by military means.
"But unfortunately it was too late," Yermakov said, adding later that, "We had to answer fire. When we were attacked, we attacked with all of our might."
His soldiers were in a battlefield, caught in a cycle of attack and counterattack with an enemy that usually slipped away by the time the artillery shells rained down. There was no military solution, but he had a war to fight.
For the Americans, Yermakov said, it probably will become a familiar story.

video killed the radio star.
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a ohWhat did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a ohAnd now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.Oh-a oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a ohYou were the last one.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho ohVideo killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)
