It snowed.

What. The. Balls.

Last time I checked its October 10th and thinking back over the last few years, I don't remember it snowing this early. It only snowed a couple of inches, but it was enough to cover the streets and ground. Its a bitter 30 degrees right now, and I'm thinking about busting out the hot cocoa. I suppose I should get...

Staying in alone on a Friday night sucks. Blah

More later

Before bed I thought I'd write a little something for those that care to read.

In the "Writers" group there was a post about a Reader's Digest short story competition. 1500 words or less with a nice cash price for the top ... 5 I think it was. Anywho. I was looking through some pieces that I have and thought about submitting my Charlie story...

Well we are getting down there. I keep saying that but its actually becoming true. 26 days from tomorrow (Monday) I shall be gone. I couldn't be more anxious.

I went to see my recruiter the other day last week who happened to mention that he thought I put on a little weight. For those playing the home game, in high school I weighed 155lbs...

I must admit that I'm starting to feel a little nervous... or maybe anxious... something with "ous" at the end.


Officially at one month to go.

Alright, so after a week of nothing but bullshit blog entries, I am here to bring you what some of you have asked for... something inspiring (insert confused face here).

I guess I'll start by bringing you all up to speed on the wonderful world of Atti:

I am currently on the brink of 32 days.. meaning Tuesday September 29th, 2009 will be the 32...

So spending another Sat. afternoon playing WoW... for those expecting a witty blog from Atti today will have to wait a bit longer. My intelligence hasn't exactly warmed up yet. Its like a car in the dead of winter.. have to let it sit a bit


But yeah.. WoW... my constant companion out here in the middle of nowhere. It helps pass the time waiting...

I cant.


Its a two word phrase that is used on almost a daily basis by a lot of people. It gets us out of having to do things, it tells others that we are incapable and it describes our own lack of motivation. I've found that for the last few years I've been living with a "I can't" attitude and it sucks trying to...

Today is the 51 day mark until I leave, so as logic would dictate that means tomorrow is 50 days remaining.

Its hard to imagine that when this all began in June, I had to wait 126 days. And now I'm on the last leg of this journey before another one begins... such is life. Its a series of countdowns to the end of something...
