Taking this thing for a spin...
Entry number one...
Since as far back as I can remember, I've always told myself that I'll never keep a journal, or even have the desire to do so. As I sit here, I find that these feelings are still correct, but peer pressure has gotten the better of me (damn you Derek and Johnny!). So, since I've started this much, I believe I'll try to continue writing here as long as I am able. Perhaps it will even allow me tell everyone what's happening in my life while I'm in the US Navy.
I'm really not sure what to write about in this journal, but I suppose I shouldn't think of it as writing for someone or something. A journal is supposed to be a place to keep your own musings and thoughts, isn't it? So I will try to use it as such. For practice, I'm going to talk a bit about the past few days of my life. Nothing major happened, just a few little oddities. Though now that I think of it, little oddities are what makes life worth living.
Anyways, on Saturday I had this big meeting with the Commander of the recruiting district for the Navy. I was scared out of my mind. Not only was the guy 6' 5" (no exaggeration!), but his voice was liable to break glass with how deep it was. Not to mention the fact that one signiature from could end my Navy career before it started. Well, I went to MEPs (the Military Enlistment Proccessing venter) and sat there for 2 and half hours waiting for this guy to get down with a conference call. Having to sit there and sweat about what to say to this guy was horrible, and I did it while watching MTV-2 continuously! AAAAHHH!!!! I wouldn't wish that on anybody. So I finally get to talk to the guy, and it's a 15 minute long session of him telling me how hard it's going to be to be in the Nuke program. Well THAT was certainly worth my time! Damn. So then I went to Dawn's house with Johnny, Dawn, Holly, and Charlie to watch movies. Not much of a story there, but let's just say that Holly's a really cool person. Enough said for now.
I think I'm going to stop here for today. Don't want these entries to get so long that no one reads them. This looks like the start of a beautiful friendship, Mr. Live Journal. Talk to you again in a day or two.
