I've decided it's time I got a pet. Sooo, in the near future, I think I'll get a puppy! Yay! I'm thinking either a blue heeler or a welsh corgi

Hoho, got suckered into crashing at Heather's Wednesday night. I don't know why I keep falling for her tricks. Didn't get much sleep, needless to say.
I'm trying (meh) to get back into the sparring and katas, since I've decided I hate running in the mornings. Went a few rounds with Miles on Thursday. I was doing pretty well until my knees started going out....

So I'd entirely forgotten about the disposable camera I'd taken in to get developed a couple of weeks ago, up until I was hanging out with my bro and he started showing me a couple of pics from his training. Anyways I finally went and picked them up. They're kind of disappointing in a way, mostly cause we weren't allowed to have cameras during our...

Been a little while since the last time I published a post, it seems. Things are progressing at pretty much the same rate, nothing to really talk about there. My birthday is this Sunday. Maybe I'll do something, maybe not. I usually start out wanting to do something and thinking about it off and on all month, but then when it really gets down to...

So Wednesday night I went out and had some drinks with some friends. I guess good times were had, though all of the drinks I ended up having were pretty mediocre if not downright bad. Friends always take me to these bars they say are great and all this other junk, but I'm starting to think it's the way some people are about food, in...

How strange this is, this feeling of freedom and uncertainty. For the first time in a while I don't know what I am supposed to be doing with myself. There isn't someone constantly yelling at me, telling me where to be, what to do, how to do it, and how quickly it needs to be done, rinse repeat ad infinitum. What is this unreality I...

Oi. Sooo it has been awhile. Long story short, I ended up getting a med discharge from the Army after my knee got fucked up during our FTX, and then I ended up with pneumonia, which combined with the gas chamber and a week of continued exposure to below freezing temperatures and all other types of ill shit, managed to completely wreak all kinds of...

So this is likely to be my last post for at least a few months. Tomorrow afternoon I have to report in by 1800, then they put me up in a hotel for the night, then I'll be at MEPS allday Tuesday doing a final physical screening, getting my travel orders, etc. Then It's back to the hotel, and then I fly out early Wednesday...

Have my first drill with the military this weekend. Should be interesting, at the least. Leaving for training at Fort Knox, Kentucky on January 18, and I guess I'll be gone for about 4 months or so. Hopefully, everything is going to change after I get back.

This last week has been a bit less than fun. The best part had to be on Friday, when the payroll department told me they lost my paycheck. No apology, no acknowledgement of any inconvenience this might cause me, just a matter-of-fact statement spoken in a "what the fuck are you going to do about it, you pissant office drone" sort of attitude. They weren't...
