I could sit still for once in my life, but where would the fun in that be? I guess i'm usually at my best when i'm running a mile a minute. Eventually football season will kick back up and there will be plenty for all to do but in the meantime, allow me to ellaborate on how i've been keeping my time occupied.
First and foremost, Cassie and I got back together, much to her parents dismay.
Second, I will be departing from Henderson once again around the end of December/beginning of January. I have decided after a lot of talking and thinking to enlist in the Army. Now I know what most people are thinking and what even more people have said. But a signing bonus and free school is something I can't really turn down if I want to make something out of myself. I'm sick of running around in circles at dead end jobs and trying to scratch a meager living out of what I can get while trying to claw my way back into school while also not trying to put myself into a mountain of debt. Some people run a rat race their whole life, but do nothing more than whine about how bad the situation is that they're in. That accomplishes precisely jack and shit and jack skipped town. I on the other hand intend to do something about my situation, and if this is the best means necessary to do that then so be it. I don't expect people to understand it. They're not in my shoes. Just trust that, like always, I know what the hell i'm doing.
Family is doing great. Mom had both her knees replaced and is getting around much better now and is improving every day. Pops is still the same crotchety old man that everyone knows and loves. So I really have no complaints there. Hopefully everything continues to get better on that front.
I know this isn't a real indepth thing, i've always been more of an "in person" kind of guy rather than an internet guy. But rest assured, i'll be back to being clever and funny in no time. Everyone take care and be safe this holiday season.
