I have returned..

wow...it's been a while; like two years awhile. Lets see I graduated highschool got freaked and joined the army a month after graduation, went through basic and A.I.T, now I'm living in FT. Hood Texas. I started smoking and drinking here, which I never really saw myself doing. Well... the smoking I kinda saw coming, but not to this extent. I bought a car, well I financed a car, which I found is quite different. Then I crashed it and was left with a gaping bill that the insurance didn't cover. So I went to my parents with my tail between my legs for help against my mounting fiscal situation. Like the great parents they are they helped bail me out before I went insane with excess car payments.I live by myself in a barracks, which isn't bad, but gets pretty boring by yourself (which is probably why I started writing this again. This entry is kind of pointless seeing as how anyone who reads this already knows it. The army isn't quite as adventurous as I thought it would be, I saw myself going to a foreign land dragging bleeding bodies off the front-line, to fulfill my ever-growing hero-complex. I didn't expect to be in a cozy room typing a web journal at night while in the day I work as a janitor/mechanic/errand-boy/any other demeaning job the army comes up with. I can't really complain since I get paid well enough and have free room&board. It's just not as "hoah" (a military colloquialism which means crazy-adventurous in this sentence, but can mean just about anything) as I thought it would be. Even if I do deploy I'll just sit in another room just as bored only with less luxuries and much more pay. I plan to use the army to give me free college and med-school in exchange for my immortal soul which seems like a pretty good idea. At least I can retire at 40 and probably end up being a full-bird colonel. I've cut and past so many sentences that this entry is no more discernible than a roaring fart, so I think I'll leave it with "Its good to be back".
