Hell Yeah!!
I GOT THE CALL YESTERDAY!!! I've passed the background stuff and my files been approved 5 times over by senior corporals, other people and the cheif. I got the call while I was at work. My boss was standing right next to me so that was kind of a weird uncomfortable thing. But man...I was so happy to get that call. My eyes floated a little bit and my smile became permanant. I'm still smiling! I don't think even the hand of God could wipe this smile from my face!
So next week on Thursday and Friday I have to report to headquarters for the medical exam, final board meeting...and that's it. I'm IN!!! This is really happening!!! Oh my gosh this feels so good!
I went out last night and had several drinks...it was a great time! Several friends were there and they all bought my drinks/shots. I've also been asked a couple of favors...like please don't ever pull me over....please don't snitch on me...please play a prank on my parents and come over in uniform and pretend to arrest me....please let me ride with you in your squad car a couple times. It was a lot of fun!
I got a phone call late last night from a friend. I saw him yesterday for a brief minute while I was leaving work. I was walking out of the front of the store and looking down while I turned on my phone and I almost ran right in to him. He was walking out of Banana Republic to head back to the truck and finish up his work day. It's kind of a neat story about how we met. But anyway...we talked for 3 1/2 hours about guns, music, airport security. I found out a couple of things that someone has said about me to him and it made me blush. It's always nice to hear that people are singing my praises behind my back.
Everyone's been really supportive and encouraging and my head is huge right now.
My Godfather (Uncle Mick) is in town this weekend. He's my dad's brother. I haven't seen him since...I think it was highschool graduation party. That was back when I was 17. So rather than go out to the bars again tonight I prefer to stay here at my parent's house with all them and throw back some brews. I'll probably be given some heat for it because Foster wanted me to go out with him and the gang tonight.
Foster is a weird guy. The kind I can only handle in small, very small doses. The song I have playing right now is by Toby Keith. It reminds me of Foster because when ever we hang out he talks and talk and talks the entire time. He's a funny guy and makes me laugh a lot but a lot of times in my head I'm thinking...."won't you please just shut the fuck up? Can I get in a few words, maybe?"
"You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about meeee!
I wanna talk about meeee-EE-eeee!
You you you you you you you you youyouyouyouyou
I wanna talk about me!"
