FUJIMO

In Honor of Our Service Members and Veterans

2008-11-11T21:39:00.001-06:00

Here's a little quote from John Stuart Mill:

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Happy Veteran's Day!

In Lake Tahoe

2007-09-19T13:49:00.000-05:00

Brian and I met up in Tahoe this week to hike & hang out. We're having a fabulous time! The weather is perfect.

Whose Leg Is This?

Christmas in June?

2007-06-14T20:14:00.001-05:00

I've laughed my ass off every day because of this!

I HATE FLORIDA!!!

2007-04-02T23:02:00.000-05:00

And CBS, too, for showing the split screen of Jim Tressel and Urbane [sic] Meyer.

GRRRRRRRR!!!

The Gaytors are quickly approaching Meatchicken and Notre Dame status.

Future Centurion

2007-03-26T21:56:00.000-05:00

Hey, all -

Here's a recent pic of Matthew after he found my old Centurion aiguilette in the drawer. He already says "GO BUCKEYES!" so it won't be long before he's enrolled in AFROTC and pledging the drill team. Yeah, I know he's wearing that other OSU t-shirt. I can hope, can't I?

FUJIMO!

Blast from the Past

2007-03-24T10:45:00.000-05:00

Here's yet another blast from the past photo!

I wonder if the door still looks like this? Anyone know?

Kidnapping of 1990

2007-03-18T12:03:00.000-05:00

Many of you remember the infamous kidnapping of Lt. Col Kelly from Mass at the Newman Club. Here's a shot of what was going down on Lane Avenue that evening...negotiations were being made.

U.S. Air Force marathon&mini-races Sept 15!

2007-02-16T09:44:00.000-06:00

Hey, if you guys want to celebrate the AF's 60th anniversary this year, the AF marathon in Dayton is a good place to go (Sat. Sept 15) -- Fit to Fight, right? I'm putting together info for people at the Youngstown base and thought I'd pass it on to you. You can run the full 26.2 miles, the 1/2 marathon (13.1), the 5K (3.1), or be part of a 4-person relay (first leg is 7 miles, second one is about 5, etc.). AND you can run into old AF buddies:-) I plan to be there to run the full and may set up a tent for our base's group to meet/hang out if we're allowed. Also, the marathon Web site has info about permissive TDY, I think they call it, for you military types. Just a thought! Ann "Niagara"

So.

2007-02-15T13:24:00.000-06:00

This space seems especially silent. Is there nothing you want to share? I'm glad Renee and Brian founded this space... I just wish people would avail themselves of it more often. And by people, I mean you.

That's all.

Move to New Blogger... ?

2007-02-07T13:01:00.000-06:00

So, after struggling with Blogger (I'm now convinced Blogger is the single worst piece of software to which Google attached its name) just to log in for the past umpteen weeks, I'm now back in.

I also upgraded my Blogger experience to the "New Blogger," for whatever possible benefit that may provide. Has anyone else given thought to upgrading the Fujim0 blog to the New Blogger?

Just curious.

Disastrous Game

2007-01-09T21:14:00.000-06:00

Well. That was sure a wallop we were dealt last night. What a bummer of a game.

Who wouldn't laugh?

2006-12-05T08:01:00.000-06:00

How in the world could anyone keep a straight face when Trsek was making pledges look at this?

Memories

2006-12-05T07:58:00.000-06:00

Ok, here's a blast from the past...Swabbie burning the ransom note from the pledge class of 1994. Guess he didn't want to rescue Todd very much?

Go Bucks!

2006-11-20T14:59:00.000-06:00

Hello.

2006-11-10T13:56:00.000-06:00

Enough with the silence. I was just going to sit by and say nothing but that's not exactly fair, given that I've been invited here and taken up the invitation.

Hi. Anne Rugh here.

It's been really good seeing people here, such as the seeing goes online. Lots of memories.

Anyhow - really good to see you. And that is enough out of me.

Looking for the Stowes

2006-11-09T07:45:00.000-06:00

Hello All,
I can't find my contact information for the Stowes. I know a family that are due to go to the same school Bill did and they are at a loss as to housing. I was hoping Lisa could help. Does anyone have their e-mail.

Thanks,
Angela

Holiday Cards

2006-11-08T13:01:00.000-06:00

In the big move, I lost all my addresses for holiday cards, etc. If you have a chance and wouldn't mind commenting to this post with your mailing address, I can compile a list and send it out to everyone.

Thanks!

Do they celebrate Halloween in Turkey?

2006-10-27T22:29:00.000-05:00

Thanks to the IL ANG I'm going to get to spend 20 days in Turkey this year. Now I would love to spend 3 weeks traveling the country and seeing everything but I think I'm gonna be lucky to see the Alley (a street just outside base where a G.I. can get some shopping done). I guess the good thing will be that I'll fly home the 19th of November, just in time to enjoy some good old fashion Thanksgiving cooking with my friends and family.

Hmm. Who is it?

2006-10-23T17:02:00.000-05:00

I can't figure out who "Cinereous" is? Can this blogger please give us a hint as to your identity??

Wazoo (sp?) expecting baby #2

2006-10-22T19:03:00.000-05:00

I heard from Jeanne Wadzinski Benfield last week. She and Clint are still in Hawaii. They're expecting baby #2 in the spring. ... oh, and Brian & Crystal Swallwell are expecting baby #1 in February. Me? I'm not expecting, no interesting news to pass on :-)

The Game

2006-10-22T18:52:00.000-05:00

Hi, guys! Looks like that M*ch*g*n game 18 Nov. could be The Game of all The Games, so Droopy, I'm up for meeting up on campus. I actually do want to WATCH this one, though, and party afterward. Would be great to see you. ... Thanks again, Frankie, for setting this up!

N. Korea Detonates 40 Years Of GDP

"This is a grand day for the Democratic Peoples Republic Of Korea, whose citizens have sacrificed their wages, their food, and their lives so that our great nation could test a nuclear weapon thousands of feet beneath our own soil," read an excerpt from the statement. "Now the rest of the world must stand up and take notice that the DPRK, too, is capable of decimating years of its own wealth at any given moment."
"It is truly a great day for North Korea," added Lee-Park, who then died due to a combination of malnutrition and tuberculosis.

North til you smell it...

2006-10-17T15:32:00.000-05:00

...west til you step in it.

Speaking of Michigan, I'm trying to get a feel for how many of you will be around Columbus during wolverine weekend (11/17 - 11/19). I was considering visiting, but I'd hate to show up and be the only one there. If this is a bad weekend due to its proximity to Thanksgiving, let me know and I'll pick a different date when more of you are going to be around.

Would be great to get together!

File under FOUND

I was messing around in the garage and came across some items of interest. Renee says I never throw anything away. I guess she's right...

Nip in Bud

2006-10-09T22:44:00.000-05:00

Now that it's been asked for the 100th time. Yes, Fujimo.com (w/an "o") was TAKEN! Glad to see so many of you are interested in the blog. Let the games begin...

Keep in mind that this blog is open for anyone to read.

Someone must've asked my wife

2006-10-09T22:09:00.000-05:00

So, thanks go out to Brian for setting this up. I guess FUJIMO with an o instead of a zero was already taken? Say, that reminds me: I was driving down Jefferson Ave in Newport News one day, and I came up on this crappy little hatchback with one of those Latino-stylized lettering jobs across the back window. To my surprise, the letters spelled out (you guessed it) FUJIMO! Her dad was a Huey pilot in Nam, so I guess our little secret made the rounds of the combat pilots. Carl, would you care to confirm? Maybe those Army pukes continue to pass it down through the ages.

Anyway, I'm happy we have this place to send messages back and forth. Someone is going to get Niagara and Michelin on board, right? And Fuzzy, too. Now if we could only find Screamer again...

Melting in Phoenix...

2006-10-09T00:59:00.000-05:00

Brian!!!! Renee!!! How the heck are you? Hope all is well with everyone. Love the idea and thanks for putting it all together.

Take care,
Angela ("Sox")

Got no Balls

2006-10-08T14:27:00.000-05:00

This is a great idea Brian - and less pain than a website.
Nice work-

Great Idea

2006-10-08T08:10:00.000-05:00

This was a great idea. Thanks for setting it up!

2006-10-07T13:17:00.000-05:00

I was so happy when I heard from Renee about the new blog that I decided to put off my plans to destroy the earth. I hope that this is someplace you all enjoy using. I noticed that in the new Beta version of Blogger we can set up a restricted viewing list as well as categories for posts. Let me know what you all think about these ideas and we can make it a place that everyone is comfortable using. FUJIMO for now. - Marvin

2006-10-06T21:17:00.000-05:00

Hey Centurions! I was in Chicago visiting Brian last weekend and we were talking about the drill team. Brian decided to buy fujim0.com (that's a zero, not an "o") so we could start this blog. Anyone can join the blog and make their own posts. You need not join the blog to make comments, simply click on "comments" below.
