About

hi, i'm james mckinney. you know me. living the rest of my life now with my awesome wife!

this is the new atb (at the beach). the original atb ran from around 2001 to the fall of 2005. i figured it was time to finally begin another personal blog. so, here it is.

my other blog is solidadvent, which is about video games and stuff. i have some other stuff, which is posted here.

i check up on sarah's blog often, and i post on our joint blog and our wedding blog.

don't think that anything on this blog or anything i link to is anything more than my opinion. nothing on this blog is meant to represent anything besides my own thinking of the moment and is not representative of any organization or unit i may be in or affiliated with.

if you have any questions, comments, etc. please e-mail me at koholinttakeout@gmail.com.

Musings on the road

I was talking to Sarah about this before I left, but upon hearing news and seeing parts of the new Boy Scout Handbook, I started thinking about how I’ll be involved in Scouting again with my kids. It also sort of reminds me that despite my success in Boy Scouts, there’s a whole part of the organization that I don’t see at all. (The adults running the national and regional organizations.)

I saw Inglorious Basterds last night, it was awesome. Coming out of the movie, I had another case of…I don’t know what it’s called. I see goth kids, really fat people, gweedos, teen girls looking like sluts, and I got that sense again that these people are not worth the sacrifice, that I’m above them. I hate that feeling. I’d really like nothing more than to not be so seperated from everyday people (vague concept, I know) and rid myself of this sense of pride. :(

This ride is lame. Wish we were there already.
