Tomorrow I report to Fort Jackson, SC for Recruiting School. I will be out of the loop for about 6 weeks. I will have my cell on me so if you know my number, give me a call. Then I will be home around October 30th. Looking forward to seeing some people. That's all. |

Lots have happened since I last updated. The Army put me on orders for Korea. Yes, Korea. At first I didn't want to go. I didn't want to have to deal with being over seas in a high tension area where they keep saying North Korea is about to attack. Whether or not they will, is really of no concern to me. Of course if they did, I'm assuming it's going to be another Vietnam / Iraq. But, I called US Army Recruiting Command and they told me, I will be recruiting in Poughkeepsie, if in fact I get recruiting. It looks good for me. Looks like I will be coming home for about a year and I won't have to deal with a bunch of bullshit. I'll just have to deal with a new bunch of bullshit. Oh well, I'm happy. I'm coming home tomorrow and I'm staying till June 30th. I'm driving my car back to Missouri, then from there I expect to get my school date and I will finally be out of Missouri. |

Jesus, I fucking hate the Army so hardcore right now. Most of you won't even read this but I have to fucking vent some where.
Right now, I am the senior enlisted Soldier in my section. I am in charge of 3 other Soldiers and in charge of the operations of my section. I work at Brigade Headquarters. What does that mean? Well, let's see in my Brigade there are 5 Battalions, each of which has it's own operations. Each Battalion has about 1,000 Soldiers in it.
Yea, so that's 5,000 US Army troops that basically I need to take care of. How many people do I have to make it happen? 7. Me, 3 Soldiers and 3 civilians. It's an impossible task and yet I do it every fucking day. Not only do I have to get that shit done, but I'm also tasked out to give up 2 Soldiers a week to fucking cut grass, which makes the task harder. And this week, I'm tasked out to be in the Color Gaurd for a Brigadier (one star) General's transition. So, instead of getting my work done, I have to stand on a field with an M16 doing a fucking ceremony. On top of that my Soldiers don't ever fucking listen to me.
See, I used to be a Corporal. So, I actually had Military Authority, and if they didn't listen to me I can actually do something. But, my unit is going ALL civilian so my position isn't authorized anymore so they took away my stripes (yea, I'm fucking pissed off). So, once again they don't listen and it makes my job harder. I've been so busy and so stressed out. I can't wait to get the fuck out of Missouri and get out of the Army.
I haven't really talked to Kim, and I can tell she's getting fed up. But, she has no clue the amount of work and stress I have. It sucks, I hate it, and if I could go back to when I was hanging out with Cord I would have never answered the phone call from the Recruiter ... |

In my quest to complete my Alk3 fix, does anyone have a copy or know where I can get the Ten Song Split with Matt Skiba and Kevin Seconds? This will complete my cd collection and I can't find it other than ebay for butt loads of dollars.

Work has been horrid lately. So much work, so hot, no AC. Ugh. Highlight of my week was beeing called Ignorant and having no taste in music. Yea, this coming from a girl who thinks Nine Inch Nails, SlipKnot, Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco is better than Brand New. Seriously, she has horrible taste in music, she can't appreciate the music I listen to. I mean I can go and listen to The Agony Scene and then New Found Glory then some Beatles and enjoy it all, and yet she says I have horrible taste and I'm closed minded and Ignorant. She called As I Lay Dying death metal. She doesn't know who Morrisey or Elliot Smith is. I played her Cigarette and she said it sucked. I mean yea I don't listen to Yellowcard too much anymore, but no one can deny that the Cigarette is an awesome song (Not even you Johnny). Seriously, I want her to come to Poughkeepsie and have her hang out with the old TITTS CREW and have her tell us that our music sucks. She's from Chicago claims to be so scene yet never heard of Alkaline Trio. She is so lame.
Any ways, I'm tired and sore, and I don't want to work tomorrow or do PT, but unfortunatly I have to. I'm coming home June 27th through July 8th, any one wanna chill or something? Probably not, but I can't hurt to ask. Kim you don't count because of course we'll be seeing each other every day :)

Busy week. Worked. A LOT! I can't wait for the new MCS cd and I'm drooling over the New Alkaline Trio CD. I heard many mixed reviews of it. But since I love Alkaline Trio, and I just so happened to spend a lot of money on getting all of their cd's i could find, im sure i'll love it. I'd like to thank Johnny and Alicia for introducing me to them over 2 years ago. Any ways I need to get the fuck out of Missouri. So bad! |

Yea, so last week the free cable which I've been getting for over a year and a half was cut off, that fucking blows. And then come Monday night my room phone was cut off because I forgot to pay my bill for 2 months, so I couldn't waste my time online. I just turned my phone back on today and I'm probably not going to turn my cable on. 30 bucks for 60 channels and I watch less than half of them. My recruiting packet has been up at Headquarts of the Army for almost 2 weeks, and no feed back yet, I'm getting nervous. Been swamped at work, and my supervisor is the biggest dick you'll ever meet in your entire life. But, by Friday all the work I've done since February will finally fucking pay off. Next month I am eligible to go to the Sergeant Promotion Board. If I do go, and I get the thumbs up from the board members, and I add up all my points I'll have 627 out of 800, which is outstanding. But, unfortunatly I need 798 points to get promoted. Sucks right? RIGHT! Probably not going out again this weekend, alcohol lost its fun. It took me 5 minutes to buy my Insurance Policy for Missouri, I found out to register my car in NY I need an NY policy, so it took me 5 minutes to cancel my MO policy but it took 2 hours to get my NY policy complete. ANY WAYS, my car is totally insured and I'm coming home in May to pick it up with my buddy Cameron. Fucking 18 hour drive, I'm too excited.
18 April 2005, it was mine and Kims 6 years. Fucking crazy right? Hasn't even felt close to that. Time does fly when you're in love.
P.S. I fucking blasted a bird today while driving the truck at work. I saw the little fucker flying in front of the truck, I hit the shit out of it and I didn't even flinch, it was funny. Harris, who was in the truck with me, looked back and saw the bird all twitching and shit, trying to get up by flapping its wings. It didn't make it. |

yea, went out to the club on Friday night, me and Cameron didn't feel like driving back so we got a cheap ass hotel room. He invited this nasty chick to come over, and they basically kept me awake all night. Then they went out side, fucked in his truck, and woke me up again because they knocked on the door. I didn't go to bed till about 5:30 and then Melissa left at 7:30 she woke me up, fell back asleep, then we had to leave at 11. So this old ass lady with yellow ass teeth knocked on the door and said we had to check out, so I said ok and slammed the door on her, and got ready to leave. We finally left and I got back to my room about 3 in the afternoon and slept. I just woke up.
P.S. - This song I'm listening to is actually really good. Well, the music is good and 2Pac's verse is good.

Well, I haven't updated in awhile. Nothing new really. Kim visted me about 3 weeks ago, which was totally awesome. I've just been working my ass off nearly every fucking day. I got a new cell phone, finally I'm a cool kid with a picture phone, whoopy! Been getting drunk every weekend for the past month and a half, I think I should stop ... who am I joking, I have fun. I finally hit the pinacle of my life, BIG BLACK BITCHES! I'm telling you, all of them want me. I don't know what it is, but the flock to me, kinda like when all them whales beached themselves back in the day. remember that? yea, just like that.
any ways, I'm still waiting on the Headquarters of the Army to tell me if I get recruiting duty, I so hope I do. I need to get the fuck out of Missouri.

I've had so much fucking work to do this week. It's sucked so much ass. I barely had 5 minutes to relax. Last night was fun, I went with a couple of my buds, we met up with some chicks that Red and Navin wanted hook up with. I thought we were going to Ruby Tuesdays, but the girls led us to Hooters. Now, this being the first time I've actually ever been to a Hooters I was expecting all these ditsy big breasted women being there. But, to my surprise none of them were big breasted. Not that I care, because I only care about Kims breasts. ANY WAYS, I got Jalapeno Chilli Cheese Fries. They were so awesomely good. Our waitress Stephanie C, actually remembered seeing me at the club last week, so she started talking to me and the guys. The girls were getting pissed, and Navin actually ignored the chick he was trying to get. It was funny as hell. I got pretty drunk last night, which is what I needed actually. I was dancing and ONCE AGAIN, the fat chicks were drawn to me, like I was an all-you-can-eat night at Red Lobster. I swear, if one more fat chick hits on me, I'm gonna say "go away, you're fat". Kim is gonna be here this Friday, I so can not wait. I'm so excited, now she's gonna be here with me and I want to show her around, like where I work, and take her to the PX and be all cool. She'll be with me from March 4 - March 13. So Awesome. It's gonna be the best 10 days I'll ever have here in Missouri.

Yea, so um last tuesday I got the flu injection. but instead of it being injected by a needle, they stuck this seringe thing in my nose and sprayed some fluid up each nostril. It wasnt until saturday night that I felt sick, and the sunday morning came and I felt like shit. I couldn't move and I did nothing all day. Monday morning I went to PT and I couldnt even function, I ent up going to the doctor and he said I had the flu and gave me 72 hours quarters and gave me these wonderful pills to take. So I got to rest mon, tues, wed and now I'm back at work. I feel a lot better but i still have a bad cough, sore throat and a slight headache. hopefully it goes away quick. I hate the flu. So much. |

Well, I'm back and I'm finally updating. I would have updated sooner, but my computer can't connect to the internet and I've been busy at work. I have duty tonight, so I'll have a lot of free time on my hands, I think I'll bring in my X-Box and play it here at work. Any ways, on to the post.
I just returned to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri after a great 16 day leave. I really needed to get away from this place. It sucks, so hardcore. The trip home was an ordeal in it of its self, I woke up at 4:30am to get ready and do any last minute things before I left to go to the airport. I called a cab and got to the Airport at like 5:45am, my flight from FLW took off at 6:30am, and the plane was so cold on the inside, it was the longest 45 min ever. I got into St. Louis at around 7:30am, my next flight from STL to Chicago took off at 8:30am, and I got into O'Hare at around 9:30am. I was supposed to be on the 11:30 to Newburgh, but that was cancelled the previous night, so I was booked and comfirmed on the 2:45pm flight out. About 10 minutes before I was suposed to board the plane, the flight was cancelled. The next flight out was 8pm. That was the worst news of the fucking day. I basically had to sit in O'Hare from 10am to 8pm. 10 fucking hours. I basically slept at the gate all day. I finally board my plane and I sat next to and older woman, who was really nice. I was wearing my Camouflage Gortex Jacket, so of course she asked me if I was in the Army, and I said yes, obviously. Then the guy in front of me asked if I wanted a drink, but before I could respond he asked if I went to Iraq. Sensing I could get free alcohol, I said yes. I got free beer and a pass to hell at the sametime. I got into Newburgh at 11pm, but since I have to move up an hour, it was Midnight. A cab driver named Anthony was waiting for me. He told me his day job is some being some big-wig Apartment complex Administrator. As to why he picked a cab driver as a second job beats me. I got to my house at like 12:45. I was so tired, but it was so great to see Kimmy there waiting for me. The first day with Kim is like the perfect introduction to a great novel.
Being home was so great, just laying around, being dumb with Kim and Sam. Not having to be a "professional". It was also good to get my fucking X-mas presents. I got new DC Shoes, a leather belt, and a mutha fuckin iPod bitch (which I'm using right now on duty!). I also now have the first 3 seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force on DVD. I really had a fun time hanging out with Kim and Sam and his buddies, which are actually cool kids. Kim's sister, Kelly, isn't a little turd anymore, so that's cool. I liked being home and like having real cereal and real food, and not this government shit I've been eating. I of course loved my Moms home cooking. I did a whole lot of nothing when I was home. It was fun. For X-mas I "bought" Kim a coat she really really wanted, I also pitched in and got X-Box Live for Sam, which he seems to be enjoying. I saw some of my old friends when I was home, it was cool. Johnny actually delivered to my house. Hopefully Mark tipped you well buddy. Kim unfortunatly had to leave and go back to college before I left and went back to Missouri, which blew. I always hate when she leaves. I need to hurry and either get Recruiting or get out of the Army. So, since Kim left I was so bored, and I was online and I saw that Tanya was online, so I IMed her and we talked, I then asked her if she wanted to hang out, but she didn't respond, she just signed off, so I guess we're done being friends. Oh Well. Then, I left. The trip home was easy and smooth.
When I got back to work, my office told me that I was no longer the mailclerk and I am now the Unit Administration and Mailclerk Team leader. Woo hoo, my first supervisor position. No more bullshit for me. I get to finally dole out some monotonous work for the soldiers to do. Naw, I'm gonna be a cool supervisor. But, I'm going to make sure shit is fair around here from now on. No more of the bullshit that I see. Any ways, I gotta go take the Brigade Flag down now. I'll hit you cats up later yo. |
