holy shit has it been forever. Makes me think I'm probably the only one who will see this from now on. I can live with that. In retrospect, I haven't chronicled enough of the last year or two for me to seem remotely sane ( Read more... )

Its funny how priorities change... how that whole indoctrination thing affects you. As of tomorrow evening I will be authorized to wear civilian clothing. This will be my first time wearing jeans and a t shirt since may 23rd. Its dumb how excited I am over this. Tech training is like being at the worst college ever ( Read more... )

I'm writing this from biloxi, mississippi - the location of my technical training for the next six months. The whether has two levels here: raining and steamy, or blast furnace.

having horrible luck with my car. So many bad things at once I'd rather not even break out the list. Hilights include: falling glass breaking my windshield and my car getting booted outside of my jiu jitsu class. I've never been known for my good luck ( Read more... )
