Brief history:

I´m 26, the longest I´ve lived in the same city/state/country is 3 consecutive years, Spent the last 4 and half years in studying europe , then finally moved back to the states, (Hawaii) and found a great job on Kauai. Yet when I had the career I wanted the girl..

So i gave up the job and moved to Spain to be with my college girlfriend (she´s spanish) I had lived in Spain for 1 year before so thought I could handle it. Now after 2 months, I am sick of not speaking english, and I don´t want to be an immigrant to spain. I consider myself fairly intelligent but have hit the glass ceilling in my spanish. I lost all motivation to look for a job, and spend my days siting on the computer, cooking, eating and being with my girlfriend. Now, my money is running out and I´m my student loans are becoming due. My return flight isn´t until June and I don´t know what to do... Now that I have the girl I want the career.....

Why do I always want more?

Hi,

I'm in the midst of completing my application for Navy OCS, a little about myself:

25 years old. Went to an International business school in the Netherlands, BBA in Finance/Accounting, GPA translates into about 3.0.

I took the ASTB and scored a 56 on OAR

HS extracurricular: Football, Swim team, debate team, exchange student (to Russia and Azerbaijan)

College extra curricular (Football, Model United Nations, 2 internships (1 in spain, 1 in netherlands) Also studied 1 semester in a spanish university all classes taught in spanish. Fluent in German and Spanish.

I grew up in the navy (dad's been in for +24 years)

I want to join to serve my country, after seeing much of europe and a bit of the middle east you really gain an appreciation for the USA and I want to do something great, there are not many other companies/organizations such as the US Armed Forces and the opportunities and benefits they offer.

WTF.... The people running our country can't even get the correct translations or correct names of world leaders.

That's two major Flip-ups just this month...

First they misspell the word reset and give them an "overload" button, then they use the Presidents of Brazil's old nickname...

This has to stop

Seems like NASA is getting closer by the year... Does the Bible or Quran say anything about life outside of earth?

Would the extremely religious cast this discovery aside? I am interested in the opinions of religious persons, of all faiths.

500+ people dying in Gaza become a huge crises, and not too far away, (Africa) there are 1000's of people dying on a daily basis at the hands brutal gangs and warlords, yet... it doesn't get an ounce of the attention that Gaza receives...

why?

why do more democrates vote than republicans.. if you look at any state and how many ppl voted for who... the democratic vote outnumbered the Rep vote at least 2 to 1...

can anyone explain this to me?

Would it be possible, like McCain with Obama as vice... or some kind of mixture..?

Rudy?

they would be a pretty votable team to put in the office dont you think?

How did the Jags make it to the divisional round of the playoffs and not have a single pro-bowler? Yeah, Fred Taylor is in Now, but only cuz Parker went down....

Is it because of the Coach? the team as a whole? or is the Probowl just some stupid popularity test that really doesn´t mean anything?

I think it has to do with Coaching...

i think i did pretty good, i had number 6 pick overall in a 12 team league...

am i gonna win it?

I´ve seen a lot of this lately... people saying the terrorist love pres bush....

i´m missing the connection, can someone please clarify?

Why do people think we cannot win against terrorism?

I believe we can and we will win, yet there are others who say we can´t beat them, lets bring all the troops home....

i don´t think bringing troops home will make terrorism go away do you?

i go look at a sports video, and there´s nothing but these stupid freaking picture slide shows.....

no body wants to see that crappp....

stop posting pictures on youtube.....

I can´t be the only one who feels like this?

Or is it illegal to pay someone to have sex with you?

and if it is:

why?

i´m playin on nfl.com, they have a screwing draft system...

here´s my selections through the first 5 rounds:

Round 1: 6th pick

Round 2: 11th pick (23rd overall)

Round 3: 4th pick ( 28th overall)

Round 4: 9th pick (45th overall)

Round 5: 2nd pick (50th overall)

12 teams in league....no pts for receptions/carries, all td´s are 6 pts.

i´m hoping to get frank gore in the first round, but if he´s not avaliable, who should i get.... i think pics suck, any vetern advise out there??

I think we should get our troops home as soon as possible too...

but there is just one thing bothering me... that group of Terrorist that attacked us on 9-11, are in Iraq now, today.

I´m against the Iraqi war, i think we should withdrawl our troops but i´m for the war on Al-qeada,

and now since we know Al-qeada is in Iraq, does that mean i´m no longer for withdrawling the troops and for the Iraqi war?

i mean, it is possible to change your stance on things, since most democrates running (xcept obama) were for the iraq war and are now against it... is it possible for someone against it to all of a sudden be for it???

what are your thoughts on withdrawling the troops even though Al-qeada is active in Iraq??

Can someone explain this to me?

to me it sounds like, everyone gets the same treatment and you don´t have to pay for it....

If Bill Gates needs an operation he goes to the same doctor as homeless Joe..... and niether have to pay for it.. (directly)

By the way, Germany has some system like this, and if you make over 52k a year, the tax braket is 42%....

what is going on??? i haven´t seen a report on car bombs or fighting or headless civilians since the weekend....

is the surge working? or are the terrorists just playing dead?
