IMMMM BACK!!!

gotta love how it takes a while for pay from a new job to catch up with you...well at least im active again.

so its been a bit of time since my last blog..

I finally got the job, and they took a week for me to train up to the standards the team is at. I just finished my first two days on the job, and i just realized that teenagers are dumbasses. I mean how do u rationalize putting 15 kids in an elevator and having them all jump up and down, or throwing stuff at the person in the easter bunny costume, or starting a fight in the middle of the food court. can someone please explain this to me? and it doesnt help that ive got boots that are a size too small and all of my time is spent walking. I never realized how much the security at the mall gets shit on by people either. Last night i had a customer scream and swear at me because she was asked to leave the mall. I'll be honest ive never been so scared before in my life then when this woman was screaming in my face. Thankfully that was the only thing i had to deal with last night...save for the idiots who were at the Anime convention in boston. apparently they were all staying at the hotels ajoining the Copley Place so we had to deal with them walking through the mall and causing problems. Thank god i have three days off....

BTW...MissKristin still needs your help...donate to her ChipIn that has been started
http://freezedriedevil.chipin.com/misskristin-leukemia-fund

ok people...a fellow SGer needs your help. MissKristin has been diagnosed with leukemia. Now i could take an entire post to tell you what leukemia is, and some of the treatments, but this is something that many of you already know about, be it firsthand or not. What I'm asking is that you find a bone marrow donor registration drive or get a donor kit yourself. Test yourself and register in the DKMS registry, if you cant help MK then maybe theres someone else in the world who you are a match for...someone who's life you can save. And dont stop there, get your friends and family registered, your co-workers, if u randomly meet someone on the street mention it to them. The more people you speak to the more lives can be saved.

For more information on DKMS and the eligibility requirements for donors go to the DKMS website at http://www.dkmsamericas.org/. And to find a donor center near you in the US go to http://www.marrow.org/HELP/Join_the_Donor_Registry/Join_in_Person/US_Donor_Centers/dc_list_by_state.pl

And please send your love to MissKristin. She's a fighter, and shes gonna make it through this.

someone please come get me out of this crazy insane place that i call home

FUCKING SCHOOL!!!

So i got a letter in the mail today, it was from the Commandant of Cadets. I'm now on an academic suspension from the academy due to "Inability to adhere to set academic standards." And all because I got a 74 in a class...A FUCKING 74!!!! ONE FUCKING POINT FROM PASSING IS KEEPING ME FROM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.... It gets worse, I had to call my father with the news. He hung up on me and wont answer any more of my calls. But wait it gets worse...I got dumped in a FUCKING FACEBOOK MESSAGE!!!!

How much worse can this week get...

Just a quick update for everyone

Finished winter term...two weeks off then back to the old bullshit: full uniforms, "motivated" socks, sir/ma'am sandwiches, salutes...all that jazz.

And a big thanks for all of you who sent your love and thoughts while my little sister was sick, it kept me going and kept me sane. FYI she comes home Wednesday so ill update then. Thanks again everyone.

"88"

well this weekend sucked....gained weight...got used as a training dummy(will explain later), and i just feel like complete shit

i had drill this weekend...so i show up and get weighed in. ive been doing well lately...ive lost weight at a regular rate and i was on track to be under my limit by april. so i show up and step on the scale and it says ive gained 7 pounds. so we try another...same shit....another....same....finally i end up just accepting it and getting put back on the shitlist. yesterday we go do training. one of my old sergeants happened to be an instructor, and he knew i gained weight. so i was used to demonstrate how to search a vehicle and detain the individual...he was a little more forceful than he needed to be. my head and the ground met a few times...same with the hood of the car...i got back at him though...next runthrough he was the detainee. ive had the worst stomach pains the last couple of weeks, so im trying not to do too much. hopefully next week will be better.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...STEP RIGHT UP.....

Thats right all...Mr. GoogisMcFloogal and i will be organizing a real, live emo hunt....only $500 dollars will get you into this outstanding family event...choose from our extensive collection of weapons or bring your own...ammo not included....no outside food or drinks allowed please....

But really.....It's been a good couple of weeks. I'm definitely more relaxed right now and i think thats why I'm doing much better in my classes. However i am not looking forward to next week...my best friend leaves for Afghanistan next Friday and I'm gonna have to plan his going away party...oh well, such is life..

"Land Term '08" has started and it has started in style. Classes were canceled today and we are actually living like normal college students. Civilian clothes, no inspections, no morning formations, no mandatory cleaning...this is awesome. I actually got to sleep till 930 today...i never used to get to do that. There is some stuff that stinks, no food service on campus, no activities, and most of my friends are away with the ship. I'm hoping that i can still have a good time this semester and get all my work done. No new pics, sorry people.

I thought that winter break would be better than this...all my friends are working, I have almost no money and my little sisters are annoying the shit out of me. All there is to do is surf the net, watch tv, and go to the gym. I had another big arguement with my dad, no surprise there. He seems to think that he still controls my life, and won't let me go back to his house to get my stuff that he's held hostage since i moved out 5 years ago. And as if things couldnt get worse, my best friend, who just got back from basic and AIT in November is getting deployed to Afghanistan in February. The only good thing about break was meeting Jamie. Finally, I meet a girl that im not completely nervous around, and who appreciates the fact that im a shy guy. I only hope we can make the long distance thing work. Lets just say a lot of miles have been put on my car in the last few weeks. Oh yeah, its 2008. I should probably tell everyone my new years resolutions. You've got the usual ones (lose weight, get better grades, do more PT) and then my own personal resolutions: chill out, be a better friend, and don't fuck things up with Jamie. I'm hoping that I can keep at least some of those, but at least i have some set goals this year. Happy New Years everyone.

BTW..im attaching a pic of me at a recruiting nite for the Academy...we have too much fum when we leave campus
