I Feel Like Writing

Current mood:pirate

So I feel like writing, ranting, or just talking basically.

I'll start with some personal stuff I guess, maybe by the time I finish and I won't want to write anymore.

Let's see, life lately has been just boring.

My schedule goes as follows

Monday-Friday

0410 - Wake up get ready.

0445 - Muster (summon) and begin PT

0630-0750 - Get ready and eat morning chow/breakfast.

0755 - March to class

0825 - AE "A" School.

1000-1200 - Afternoon Chow/Lunch

1500 - School ends, and we bullshit around.

2000 - Go to bed ( or atleast I should, but someone likes to keep me up on the phone. )


That was enjoyable for the first 2 weeks, now I'm just bored, and I need to save money for when I go home so I can't really go out on the weekends which sucks even more.
I'm contemplating finding some cute girl around here to keep me entertained intil I leave, but I know I'd just feel bad about doing that.
Other than that, my life really isn't changing, I know things will be a lot more exciting when I get out to the fleet but it seems like it's taking forever for that day to come.
I bet Japan or Hawaii will be really cool, which reminds me, I need to go look up some information on those commands and see what they're like.

One thing I am happy about, the PT we do with the marines is putting me in a lot better shape, boot camp did a lot of weight loss, but this PT is building a strong core for me and my endurance is jumping leaps and bounds.
Not that you can tell from my pictures as Chance says, but I can tell a major difference and I didn't even really notice the difference after boot camp but my parents and friends did that saw me.
It feels really good to be healthy, too bad not every command will make us PT this hard and I doubt I'll do it on my own which means it's just temporary, but maybe I will, who know's anymore.

As far as when I'm coming home, I did the math and I should graduate "A" school in 7 weeks, leaving that on the 8th of November.
When I apply for orders in a few weeks, I'll get a better understanding of when I'll be able to go on leave.
The way it works is, I get orders, they tell me when I need to report to my command.
I check out of this command and from that time until the time I check into my next command is considered leave, and you get one day for travel.
The thing is, I'll have approximately 15 days of leave earned by then and when I do this "work for your recruiter" program, 10 of those 15 days won't count against me because they'll consider it temporary duty to him.
The problem with that is, he could work me to death every day doing bullshit and it would kill a lot of time that I could be spending with my family, or he could be awesome and just make me show up once a day and tell me to go home.
Either way, I have to do the program because when I get to my next command, come mid-December they'll send us on mandatory leave time for Christmas and if I don't have any days to use, I don't see my family for Christmas.
So it's kind of stressful getting all this figured out in time, and not knowing exactly how to go about it.
Not to mention trying to keep a healthy social life.
All's I do now is talk to Stevie, Chance, and my mom and dad.
Not that they aren't awesome, but I need to work on a social life here in Pensacola, and so far I've only found a select few people who I can relate with, the rest just want to get drunk and party all the time.

I started missing people a lot more today. I don't know if it was hearing Chance having a good time and everyone hanging out at James's house playing video games like we all used to do, or what, but I really want to go home and see everyone. I can't even begin to describe the kind of sadness I get when I think of my mom and dad. I regret every stupid argument I ever tried to have with them and I really just want to spend day after day with them just screwing around, just talking to them would make me so frikkin happy I could scream.
Then I start to think of Stevie's house and all the nights I spent there hanging out with her and her mom.
Her frikkin bed that made a cloud seem uncomfortable.
Watching movies with her, because god know's that's all we had to do.
Then I think of all the COMPLETELY RETARDED things I did at Chance's house.
Him putting his foot through the wall.
All of us playing Halo and them blaming me everytime something went wrong.
Annoying his parents then apologizing our asses off.
Or hell, going to wal-mart at 7 in the morning to steal 2 copies of WoW plus 2 Burning Crusades and 2 Game cards just so we wouldn't be bored anymore. Lmao that night frikking rocked.
Or hell, the time we bought 5 billion eggs, drove all the way out to Greenwood to egg David Houston's house, running from him and his friends when they didn't know who we were, and then getting the cops called on us. Then driving back home and throwing them at houses in his own neighborhood and making one explode all over his mom's car. Lmao I laugh just thinking about that.
Man I made him so mad sometimes by being a complete idiot. But It's all good, I helped him out with his female problems and told him when he was being stupid (which was 99.99998% of the time) hehe.
And sitting on Whatshername's dock talking about uppercutting a cheetah so he wouldn't have to face a tarantula. Man I laughed hard.
Just writing all that made me feel a little bit better.

I really want to hammer out a plan for everything I want to do, but by the time I get done with the day all I can do is just try to catch my breath and catch up on the sleep I lost.
Our class is getting to be really tough material.
I've never had to study in my life and now i'm contemplating it a little, which is kind of odd to me, I'm just thankful that I picked up good study methods from friends before, otherwise I'd be screwed.
Other than all that I've finally got most of my music collection back, or atleast the parts I care most about. So that really makes me a lot happier to be able to listen to what I want, not rap.
Rawr....I need to go to bed, fighting sleep isn't going to help me at all, and this blog was pointless from the beginning.
I love and miss all you guys, later.

      chance quit trying to get with stevie, you're in the same boat i am, you're too young.
      and besides that, she's always complaining about things that aren't true. i try to be nice to her and she complains, then she says im mean.

    Ah nigga I knew a blog like this was soon to come up. I'm glad it wasn't one where you thought we were growing apart or something like that do to the fact you call me whenever i'm out and about, even though i've asked if you wanted me to call you... jew. Everyone here misses you man wether you've heard it from them or not....It's different without Andy around. No one mises you as much as I do and nothing against my other friends but you are the friend i honestly without any doubt in my mind could talk too about anything we could go out and go anywhere you would always be down to do whatever i wanted....nevver found a friend like that...this whole thing about you coming from a different angle is cool too i guess, i usually don't need help with shit but your the person i'd turn to if i did....you were 1000 miles away and i tried to call you at 2am over talking to the 20 other friends i had around....you ignored my call lol which ment i had to cry... literally i cried. But its all good bro. I like the fact you listed like a paragraph about me :) and only like a sentence about other things :) haha. I can't wait to see you again bro, and if the funds come up then i'll come visit you....but it's going to cost me a lot to do that....so more than likely it won't be till you come home that i see you.... :(. I miss you man and don't ever think we are less of friends just cause your so far away and we don't talk as much as we should and don't see each other hardly at all.... you'll have my 1 spot nigga. Unless i find a friend cooler than you... hahahahahaha. Well anywho love ya man, talk to ya soon i'm sure ^_^
