No future future future future
Over the last few days I've made a few Russian friends via Myspace, however only females have gotten back to me. I can understand a Russian male not giving damn about a yankee like me, so I'm not going to worry about it. Erick showed me a site specifically for pen pals and there I met a 22 year old male currently serving in the Russian military. I haven't contacted him yet but I think it would be awesome if he and I opened conversation and compared notes some day. The women that I've met have been beautiful, as one could expect from a shallow man. Though the way I see it, if I'm going to stay in contact with someone 5,000+ miles away, they're damn well going to be attractive in my eyes.
Anyway, accompanying Joseph to his discharge briefing, I started looking at a few magazines that went over the Troops to Teachers program. Susannah was telling me a while ago that she had planned out her life for the next ten years, and though I don't believe in putting existence on a specific agenda like that, I like the concept. Most likely I will get out of the military at the end of my term and continue on with school. I want to move north, maybe even to Canada... possibly somewhere in a different continent as long as I have someone to enjoy the travel with. I want to find an occupation surrounding history, sociology, anthropology... essentially the study of the eternal human struggle. I might stay in the reserves for the benefits, but its impossible to see that far ahead. I just want to have something there that I can tell myself I'm working to.
I haven't decided yet but next week might be my anti-caffeine week. Personally, I don't think I'm ready for it yet but its worth a shot. There will be a lot of vitamin B in my future to help get me through this.
I constantly want to be working toward at least one of the tasks that I set for myself the other day. I feel that in doing so, my life will never become too dull, and when I look back years from now I'll be able to feel satisfied in not wishing that I had done more with my time on the planet.
I subscribed to the Philadelphia Monthly earlier today. Its one of the five magazine subscriptions that I would never plan on purchasing. I've always had some interest in the city itself; so maybe this will spark a motivation to pick up my lazy ass and go there.
Whatever works.
