Well I havn't updated this thing since my last couple of days in Iraq. I've been back for about a month now and let me tell ya, It's been such a great time. I went home for two weeks and Had a BLAST! everyday was something different. I got to see everyone which was so relieving. This is the first time I came back home and didn't run into ANY drama. I don't know if my perception on life has changed or if it was that nobody wanted to bother me... But I hope it stays that way! I spent alot of my time with Jessica. We had such a great time. She is so fun to be around. Everytime we were together I never wanted it to end. I miss her alot. It was unfortunate that her Best Friend passed away while I was there. She was naturally upset about it all but remained very strong about the whole thing. She handled it alot better than I would have. Her and I will be getting a place together and will be going to the same college. It's going to be such a great time. When I tell that to people, they're always negative about the whole idea. It pisses me off when everyone assumes it's never going to work out. Shit never works out because peolpe think shit never works out. If you stay positive and and work at it, it'll work out. But you have to WANT it.
I'm working on getting discharged from the Marine Corps 90 days in advance to my original Discharge date. They have this early release for higher education program so if I get accepted then BAM! Civilian life here I come. I start my Bartending classes tomorrow. I'm going to get certified out in San Diego and get hooked up with a part time job so that I can have the experience to start bartending when I get back to Maryland. Bartending, college and a place with Jess... I couldn't ask for anything more.
California is ALOT tighter now that I'm 21. I plan on going up to Los Angelas this weekend my friend Chris, who moved out here from Maryland. All the clubs up in L.A. are 21 up... some are 23 and up which makes absolutley no sense to me. Imagine being someone that lived in L.A. that just turned 21, and you wanted to go to this Fly ass club. So you get all suited and booted, pick-up your girl (who is 23) and go. So you get up to the club looking all fresh, get up to the door in 5 minutes cause your girl is so fine, and then you hear "sorry buddy, you can't get in cause your 21!" but you girl goes in cause now... You are a loser! too bad for that kid! Anywho, I'm signing off, I've got Italian to learn... Grazi Mille!
