I really suck at keeping this thing updated.  A lot of stuff has happened since my last post.  The big things that happened:  I got back on Task Force Gator, I realized I've gained about 20lbs since i've been home from school and I'm starting my hardcore tech school diet, and, oh yeah, I got engaged!  I really don't feel like typing any more tonight, since this has been drill weekend and I haven't gotten any sleep, and I have to go back again tomorrow to make up a day I missed last month.  Over the next couple days I'll make my posts about the things that I just mentioned and anything else cool that happens between now and then.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/281191118531929109-8482899614320012038?l=jimmyvenable.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jimmyvenable.blogspot.com/feeds/8482899614320012038/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=281191118531929109&amp;postID=8482899614320012038' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/281191118531929109/posts/default/8482899614320012038'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/281191118531929109/posts/default/8482899614320012038'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jimmyvenable.blogspot.com/2007/04/back-after-like-2-months.html' title='Back after like 2 months'/><author><name>Jimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04685032393879113460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281191118531929109.post-3379221818847573171</id><published>2007-02-02T18:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-02T18:59:37.516-08:00</updated><title type='text'>President's speech</title><content type='html'>I got a forward from my dad today and i thought it was pretty good.  I don't really have anything to say today, so I'm just going to post the forward he sent me.  All I did was copy and past it, so if there's any spelling or punctuation mistakes don't blame me.  Well, here it is...enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR OUR U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT ORREPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq Regime has been completed.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Since&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; is complete.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. This action will be complete within 30 days.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is now time to begin the&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;reckoning.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; conflict. This list is short.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; , &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Spain&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; , &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Bulgaria&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; , &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Australia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; , and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; are some of the countries listed there.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nation s are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the cost of the Iraqi war. The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world countries and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;France&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect This money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;France&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, or maybe &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;France&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Germany&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mesamis.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two Unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, Shredded and crushed.  I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;New York&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A special note to our neighbors. &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Canada&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is on List 2.  Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not ticking us off for a change.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Mexico&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put’em?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Oh, by the way, the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We are tired &lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: mon;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;of the one-way highway.  &lt;/tt&gt;Immediately, we 'll be drilling for oil in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;Alaska&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; - which &lt;tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;will take&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is time for &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin." &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. It is time to eliminate homelessness in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We owe you and we won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought:&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You might want to learn to speak Arabic. God bless &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Thank you and good night. If you can read this, &lt;tt&gt;&lt;tt&gt;thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier."&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;tt&gt;  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/281191118531929109-3379221818847573171?l=jimmyvenable.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jimmyvenable.blogspot.com/feeds/3379221818847573171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=281191118531929109&amp;postID=3379221818847573171' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/281191118531929109/posts/default/3379221818847573171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/281191118531929109/posts/default/3379221818847573171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jimmyvenable.blogspot.com/2007/02/presidents-speech.html' title='President&apos;s speech'/><author><name>Jimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04685032393879113460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281191118531929109.post-6396788975313068384</id><published>2007-02-01T19:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-02T00:21:37.572-08:00</updated><title type='text'>First Try</title><content type='html'>This is my first attempt at creating and updating a blog.
