Well,
It's been a while since I last had anything to say here or any time to write it. Quite a bit has happened, got home from that hell they call Qatar and took a month of leave back home. God did I need that. Lots of alchohol, friends, women and fun. It was a great month. Bought a new car to replace the piece of shit truck that got broken while I was deployed. Now I'm back here in Washington, working again (blah) and things are almost back to normal which is the best feeling I've had in a while. I haven't known normal since like last January. But all the drama, headaches and lies are behind me, although I'm sure there's more ahead. I seem to be a magnet for all this annoying shit. Anyways fuck that crap...for now life is good. My 21st birthday is coming up in a month in a half...holy shit i'm looking forward to that. Finally I'll be able to get into the Seattle area nightlife (gotta be 21 to go anywhere interesting around here). I'm supposed to test for staff sergeant soon...but I don't think I want to be one. It's a small pay raise over my current rank and I'll have to supervise one or two people and all that crap which I don't think is worth it. I don't want to be part of "management" fuck that noise.
Dad's side of the family had a reunion this weekend...and I sat here at base and got lit. It's been great...we're on another one of our not talking stints. Funny...how they just can't seem to grasp that I don't give a shit. If they want to be pricks I'll just not associate with them.
This fall I'm going elk hunting for the first time in 3 years if it kills me. I haven't had a chance to go hunting since I joined the military.
Also got back into skateboarding while I was on leave...took me a while and more then a few bruises and scrapes but I'm almost back to my former glory (hehe). It's always a good feeling to know your good at something, especially something you enjoy. I think that's been my biggest problem this past year or so...I didn't have anything I truly enjoyed to do to counter the shitty crap that's been goin on. But I'm back into skating. This fall after I finish paying off my car I'm getting a new dirt bike which is a serious passion of mine...something else I haven't done since I joined the military.
Tried to get into all this intellectual crap and games to fill me time lately...to hell with that. It's just not me...I'm an outdoors type person. Me and the dude next door that I shared our soap opera worthy drama with offered to go fishing sometime. I might just take him up on it.
Well anyways that's it for now...I gotta get something to eat. Peace all.
