And another thing...

Spanish sucks! When I bought my books the other day I also got a pack of CD's that was to teach me Spanish and after listen to 3 of them (that's 6 lessons) I've come to the conclusion I am too white to speak another language. My only hope is too learn how to understand it so when I go to Texas with HB her friends and family can't talk about me without me knowing what they are saying. I can't pernonciate in English how do they expect me to do it in Spanish?! Hell I don't understand half of the english language!

I wanna bitch

There has been a lot going through my mind this morning. Most of them gripes and complaints, so many that I doubt I can remember them all. First I forgot my coffee this morning on the counter and am tired and moody without my morning caffine! I get to the base and go to park where I usually do and they are checking for fucking stickers because they have nothing better to do at 630 in the morning. Stupid bitch asks me if I'm allowed to park there and I say yes. She asked where my sticker was and I said I just checked in and hadn't gotten one yet. I didn't mention that the last thing I fucking need on my new car is a fucking nother sticker to say I'm allowed to park somewhere. She says I can't park there until I get a sticker so I had to go park outside of the garage which is no big deal really. I don't have to walk any further and it will save me from driving up and down in the garage looking for a spot. But I just didn't wanna have to deal with turning around and shit so it pissed me off. I went to go do my morning routine which is filling up cryoststa and stupid shit, well one of the tanks I filled up yesterday was somhow completely empty. I don't know how the fuck that happened. So I had to use one tank to fill both cryostats which took more time and aggrivated me because I still hadn't had my coffee. I then went to Dental sick call because my tooth had been hurting a bit and looks nasty. The doc said it seems alright but if it continues to hurt in 2 weeks come back and they will replace the filling and do a root canal. I'm not too sure what a root canal actually is but I will look it up in a bit. All I know is I've heard people bitching about how much it hurts. Not that I care really. I am trying to get all kinds of dental shit done before I get out because then I will probably never go to the dentist again because it is too damn expensive. I think I went twice before I joined. Twice in 19 years! I can go the rest of my life without going back. That had me thinking about doctors bills also and how scared I am about getting out. I have grown used to a steady paycheck even when I don't come to work, no doctors bills, no dentist bills. That is still scary but it is truely what I want to do. At least for now, I wanna be a civilian for a while. I've felt bad because I can't help my buddy who's in pain half way around the world. Hell I slept on his couch most of the time when I was depressed. His wife or whatever has started checking this again I don't know if she's waiting for me to bitch about her or what. I would but I don't think he would like it so I just keep my mouth shut, it's none of my business so all I can do is hope that he finds light somewhere. I worry about everyone hitting on HB, though I know it's not her fault and whatever. It is kind of a compliment but with my low self esteem I just think someone better will come along and bye bye or whatever, though for now I am still certain that she is happy as am I. We joke about who is gonna end up leaving who, it's kind of funny. I am fucking starving. I finally brought up some of the groceries I bought for lunch but only have a real small tubaware thingy to cook it in and I need to buy a canopener for up here too. My lips are chapped and hurt. My eyes going blurry again, but at least it doesn't hurt. My ass itches, it really does but I figured that since I'm bitching about everything else I'd share that with everyone. Hope everyone else has a good tuesday.

Weekend Review

SO I had a pretty exciting weekend. Friday when I got off work I went home and took a nap and woke up with one of my eyes hurting. It continued to get sharp pains in it from time to time and kept watering and going blurry, this continued all weekend. That's enough to make anyone have a great time. I wanted an eye patch so I could be a pirate but was too lazy to go to the store to get one. It didn't hurt too bad yesterday and today it seems to be back to normal, and I'm wearing my contacts again so I am happy. That was pretty much my excitment, HB and I watched Hostel at my place and it was pretty good even though the sound was a little messed up. We went and walked around IKEA, that wasn't all that fun, too many yuppies even on a Sunday. We talked about moving in, they had some really nice rooms already set up, it seems a little rude to actually purchase those things and move them to your house and set them up all over again, might as well take advantage of them now and save time, effort, and money. It all makes since to me at least. I finally finished my book "The burn journals" I would only recommend this book to adults who are happy. As I told HB, if I'd read that book when I was a freshman, I would have set myself on fire. Sure it talked about the pains and physical therapy that lasted a year and the scars and everything but all I got from it was..."if you want attention, look at what this did for me." Plus I would just be sure not to burn my face because it made him self concious and probably would me too. He set himself on fire because he was gonna get in trouble. He gets a letter from president Clinton, meets Majic Johnson, Dennis Miller, talks on the phone to Jay Leno, gets out of school for a year and doesn't have to make it up, get massages from hot girls, has everyone waiting on him hand and foot. Hell sounds like it's be worth it to me. That's the one thing that kind of upset me. While I was reading I kept telling HB that I hope it had a morale at the end but nothing, he goes back to school. The it had the afterward or something for the paperback that said he continued to battle depression and eventually got help and meds that help him now. I still think it would be worth it but that may just be me. I mean hell my parents didn't give me any attention until mom walked in and caught me making a noose out of an extention cord since the rope I had broke in the closet and then she just threw a fit and I got in trouble, but if I'd been on fire I would have gotten all that shit. That's just my outlook on it.

But since I finished that one we went to Borders for me to find a new book. I couldn't find anything that caught my eye so I called Handy dandy Uncle Tom and he had me get: Einstein's Dreams which is pretty good but kind of hard to follow so far, I'm only like 30 pages in, haven't had much time to read it lately but it is a short book with short chapters. And also I was supposed to pick up something about troutfishing in watermelon sugar but I got a different book from the same author I got Richard Brautigan : A Confederate General from Big Sur, Dreaming of Babylon, and the Hawkline Monster which I haven't started yet but he said it was supposed to entertain me for a while. And that's about it I think. Thankfully we finally got our internet back after it was shut down all morning and I was starting to go crazy. Hope everyone has a decent monday!

Thank you Mister Bagger man

Mr. Bagger man,

Hi, we just met a little while ago. I would like to thank you for dooming any other bagger I meet at the commisary. Though there have been a few before you that have sparked my hatred for you, you drove me over the edge. I hate the fact that I couldn't think of the words to tell you while I was there but I was so full of rage all I could think about was not puching you in the face and then grabbing the lighter fluid that was next to the cash register and squirting it all over you and then pull my zippo out of my pocket and spark it and then throw it at you. Sometimes when I do have cash in my pocket and go to buy groceries, I don't need someone to push the few items in my cart out to my car for me, I am a big boy. And when I take the cart from you in the store I don't need you to throw your hands in the air and point at the sign saying "baggers don't get paid by the hour, they work for tips". Next time one of you try to make a scene like that I will say "Fine, you can take my bags to my car." and then after you put all my groceries in my trunk and shut it for me I will then go to get in my car and leave. If you should persist in any way that you still deserve a tip I will give you one. Go get a real fucking job that pays by the hour. Bagging groceries isn't hard I did it for about a year and a half making $5 an hour. You will nor any other of your fellow baggers will get a fucking penny from my hard earned money. I work 2 fucking jobs, I leave the house by 6am every morning and am usually lucky if I'm back home by 7pm, thats 5 days a week and then I sometimes work on saturday. So fuck you and your 8 fucking hours for tips. Because of you I am tempted to go to the commisary everyday during my luch break and get 20 items so I can't go into the express lane so I have to have one of you baggers try this shit with me again until I give each of you this speech, maybe then you won't try to guilt people into giving you money anymore. If you want to guilt people go stand on one of the fucking street corners and I don't give those fuckers anything anymore either. So I hope that the couple dollars I didn't give you is gonna make you starve to death so that the world can be a little better without another fucking bum on it trying to get some fucking money the easy way instead of going out and getting a real job where they have to work for it. Bagging groceries is for teenagers who can't get these "real jobs" your an old fucking man that is supposed to have some sort of skill other than bagging groceries.
Your new enemy for life,
Randy

Random thoughts

First off I am very upset! Keoki from The Smudge made CNN and they have his name and video of him HERE scroll down to where it says "residents react". "It's shocking" Bastard, I used to live in those apartments too. I only got referred to on CNN, they couldn't reveal my name! He's leaving soon! I hate you Keoki!

My phone here at work is messed up and it's just been annoying me. As far as I know it still works but the screen thing is frozen and it annoys me. Ok I think I fixed it.

A coworker called and asked what I wanted from McD's this morning and he bought me a steak, egg, and cheese bagel! I think I am gonna like this guy more than Uncle Tom and Canowine who never thought of me. Canowine did give me his hashbrown but still!

I am fucking hungry and about to go down and get some Subway again! I alternate between Subway and Taco Bell and getting annoyed. I really have to go to the grocery store and get stuff to bring in here!

I've been listening to From Autumn to Ashes CD that HB bought me and I was digging it. It sounds good but then if you really focus on what their saying they are stupid. I am still trying to figure out if the sound can cancel out lyrics like:

Long to Go

Believe it or not the notes are trying to talk to me
I've got to applaud such valiant efforts
It's not always the party that it seems to be
It can be a complete debacle
These are some occupational hazards
Perhaps You'll try to save my spot?
Just until the album drops
Then I'll be at the capri shop
Adjacent to the graham L stop
Believe it or not we're not the ideal guys to date
So I guess I'm a risky decision
But you did not write me off, you knew that I could change
So I'm studying my guide to safety
It's so hard to tell if this is an artistic achievement
Or am I singing from obligation
When all I want is to feel my heart rate
Accelerate, and we accelerate.

It sounds good while listening then when you focus it sounds stupid, there are other songs tageting the "outsider/Rebel" kids also.

Fuck yeah!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So get your damn commandments out of my school, out of my courthouse, and off the rest of my tax funded property!

This Flesh A Tomb by Atreyu

I feel eyelashes on my cheek
And they lacerate my flesh
A pain so good
Put your hand in mine
Never let go
Never wake up 'cause I'm done with promises
I'm taking blood oaths
Feels likes you could kiss my imperfections
My imperfections away
And I would stand
Stand by your side until the sun turns the sky
All the colors I see in your eyes

I'll never need to see the sun again
There's enough light in your eyes to light up our little world
So take me, take my away
Kill me slowly, I'll never be the same

I swear to you, on everything I am
And I dedicate to you all that I have
And I promise you that I will stand right by your side
Forever and always until the day I die

The bite marks on my neck never felt so good
I'm losing control and it's all that I can do
Not to blackout and fall into lust with you
Your kisses infect me
The dark gift is loving you

And I feel immortal and I want to make you feel the same
So stand by me as we immulate
We can burn in each other's arms

Green eyed Monster

Why does it have to be green eyed when talking about jealousy or envy. Apparently because Shakespeare decided since green was the color of sickness that, that's the way it should be and who are we to argue with Shakespeare? Jealousy is something that is a part of human nature, no matter how hard we try to fight it. I used to be really jealous and sort of possesive in relationships but I guess the ex made me see a side that made me not do that shit any more. She pretty much made me cut any ties I had with friends I had, except her cousin which she then cut off, which is good cuz her cousin was getting on my nerves and has now been in and out of jail for all kinds of stupid shit. But her main reason was because most of my friends were girls. She felt threatened and threw fits about it but yet thought it was ok for her to go out with her guy friends that wanted to fuck her. Well this was when we were back in Ohio, and then ended up talking about divorce and shit because she was more than likely fuckin this other guy. Whatever, we worked it out kind of. Came to Mayland where she continued to be jealous even when I want to go out with guy friends she'd suspect we were going to an orgy or some shit. And yet she expected me to let her go out whenever she wanted and if I expressed my concerns I was an asshole and it usually resulted in shit being thrown across the room by one of us. I really hated it. If I went "out" it was going to someones house having some drinks and bullshitting, I think I may have went to one club while she was here and I'd be home by like 1 or so. And get yelled at and interogated either that night or the next day, and if there was a girl there, we gang banged her. Whatever, insecurities. Shouldn't I be the one throwing the fit? She fucked around on me, whether she actually fucked him or not, I never messed around, while we were married. There was only once when we were going out but I was in Florida and she pissed me off but whatever I was young. But then she'd go to the club all night with the girls and shit. I've seen these clubs and how the group of girls get surround by these guy, usually a group of marines out of boot who are fucking morons but chicks still dig em because their built and cocky, and I'm neither. But fuck it, I dealt with it. I dealt with the hypocracy. Hell by this point I didn't have shit for friends anyway.

What's really the point of being jealous, we know that people fuck around. And it's stupid, if people want to fuck around just say "hey, I think I wanna check out some other options." Ok so some shit happens, but fuck it, why fuck with someones head? Maybe this all just goes with my "fuck it" attitude, it sure sounds like it. I can still see some jealousy being ok, like I said it's human nature, but letting it really bother you, why, and if it does just tell the other person. Hey this bothers me and this is why. I don't know how or why I've evolved over the years, maybe it's maturity or something because before I'd not say anything just to avoid conflict and keep everyone happy. But now it's just like I wanna talk everything out, with HB I tell her what I feel, what I've done, everything. And I try to get her to do the same, though she doesn't like to. It probably has something to do with feeling vunerable, at least I think that was one of my reasons. But I just want to keep everything in the open, like it has been so far, and everything has been great. I don't want little shit to build up in the back of either of our minds and become resentmant. I want this to be the one that last forever, I want to do everything right. All my mistakes in the past I've learned from and am trying to not make them again.

Pic of Poe's grave

So I only got to take a total of 3 pics, 2 of the memorial and tried on of the people gathered across the street while I was in my car but that one didn't turn out. So Here's his memorial.

Poe Toaster

For those of you who can't listen to the audio blogs below. So I couldn't talk anyone into sitting outside of the cemetary in Bmore. SO I went by myself. After counseling I stopped at 7-11 for supplies, I got a bottle of gatorade and 4 AMPs, the had more sugar than Redbull. I ended up peeing in the gatorade bottle because I didn't wanna go pee and miss it. I got there about 1130 and sat in my car right outside and then took a couple pics of what I thought to be a grave but I guess it was just a memorial. As I sat outside I wonder how a manically depressed, incest writer could influence so many people as the crowd outside got larger, ended up being about 20 people mostly Teenagers and their parents. On the memorial Edgars name actually faced the brick wall surrounding the place, Maria, his aunt/mother-in law, faced out towards the street. The crowd was growing standing in the freezing cold not certain what time the "ceremony" was to take place. I just kept thinking about how wierd it was that I found out about it right before it was to happen. Eventually I left my car to go listen to these people and see what they were thinking about. I found out that the guy wasn't going to do this at the memorial, he was going to do it at his actual grave that is buried around the building where we could not see. This place had 3 gates to enter/exit, all but one were locked, I checked when I first got there. Around 2 2 of us noticed someone inside way across the way, we went around to see if we could see him. We found a ladder against a wall in an alley next to a dumpster. We were seeing if we could see him from around there, one guy climbed tha ladder. While we were doing this apparently he ran out of the other side we were originally at, where some others were still standing. After looking around confused some teens decided to go through this open gate and see the grave, I decide to go as well and see if I could get a pic. We go running around to where we thought the grave may be and then there were people on a balcony yelling for us to get out. At first I thought it was a couple of people who got a head start running but then realized they were serious so I ran for my life. I wasn't getting in trouble for breaking and entering, or tresspassing or any shit like that, I'm on probation. But that was about it. Then I went home, got there about 230 and then had to get back up at 530. I am tired as fucking shit!! Gonna need lots of smokes today and probably trips down to Starbucks. But this kind of cancels my idea of trying to beat him to it because no one will see his reaction, including me. But I was thinking that during the next year I am going to stake this place out, maybe jump the wall some night(probably when it's warm) and look around and maybe next year instead of waiting outside, I'll wait near the grave and try to take a pic or scare him or something. This will probably take a lot of planning though, because I'll assume that these people who were yelling at us from the balcony watch the grave closely to make sure that the Poe Toaster does his thing and leaves without fucking with anything. But I have faith in myself to find ways to accomplish this. Plus I'll be out of the navy and off probation! Well I hope everyone has a better Thusday than me. I also forgot that I have to go to M.A.D.D. tonight, so that blows goats, and I forgot what time I'm supposed to be there. Oh well.

Coincidence or Fate...?

I have chills after this discovery and feel that it is something that I HAVE to do. Why? I don't know perhaps it has something to do with the paranoia of my lurker...lol. But I kind of finished up most the work I needed to do today and went to read my book, but it was left in the car so I grabbed my poetry book and opened it to the last of the folded pages and saw it was Edgar Allan Poe, cool my fav right. Well I remembered the Pixies show when Uncle Tom told me that he was buried around there, so I put the book down and decided I was gonna find out where and check it out sometime. That's when I discovered THIS Poe-Toaster? That is supposed to happen tonight? I told HB last night that I probably wouldn't come over tonight, chill out after my counseling since by time I get up there it's bedtime and I don't like her waiting that late for me so we can eat together. But what are my chances of having no plans and coming across this at this point in time? I haven't really thought about Poe in a long while. I used to read him like once a month a long time ago but I don't know I just feel that I HAVE to go sit outside of the graveyard tonight and try to take pics of this happening. The problem is the time varies I guess. It started aroun 3am and last year was at like 1am. So I hope someone agrees to go with me and keep me company and help me stay awake! I want to get some pics and perhaps follow this person and see who they are and interview them or something. I can make something up. How cool would that be. My luck I'm just gonna fall asleep in my car and get mugged or not wake up for work in the morning but oh well. It must be done!

Lurkers

The other day Happy and Blue 2 post THIS about lurkers. Well I've been noticing a lurker of my blogs, ok well most people who read are technically lurking but they've at least commented before and I kind of know who they are. But some one from Amarillo, Texas has been checking my sites everyday, I noticed them around Jan. 6th. I don't know if whoever they are, is friends with HB and she told them or what. But me being the paranoid person I am, please just leave a simple comment and let me know who you are. All other lurkers enjoy lurking and at least try to say something once a week so I feel special, I don't get very many comments. Thank you!

MySpace and Life

A while back before Christmas HB was talking about myspace and finding old friends from school and I ended up finding an old best friend and got the chance to hang out with him when I was back home, well recently my aunt found me and then my cousin. I've been wanting to talk to said cousin for about a year now, granted I seen her at christmas and before while I was back there but it's hard to call her aside and then to bring up the stuff I wanted to talk about. Let's take a trip back to my younger days. At my grandmas for christmas and other events there was me, my 3 girl cousins, one who is only a couple years younger than me, then my 2 other girl cousins who are a couple years younger than her. So the one I was close to in age was my favorite, we went to fairs and stayed at each others houses and stuff, I wasn't really close to the other 2. The younger one was shy, quiet, well behaved. The older one was kind of snobby(for a little girl), a tattle tale, and we were sometimes mean to her because of that. Well fast foreward to well lets say about a year ago. Younger quiet one is now a pretty cheerleader and I think she plays basketball but not too sure, the older one is alot like I was ecept she is pretty too. My mom told me she died her bright blonde hair black and chopped it off and her mom found out she cut her arm. This is where I wanted to talk to her. I know that no one else in the family can relate to her as I can. But when I went home I'd not really know how to call her up and ask her to hang out and then bring this shit up. Well a week or so ago I got a friend request for her on myspace and saw her "blogs" on there. She claimed she needed someone to talk to, so I sent her a message to email me and told her how I've been there and that I am here to talk to, I wouldn't tell anyone (well in the family anyways). It just seems like she is replaying my high school years. An outsider, feels lonely because she isn't dating anyone, experimenting with drugs, and everything else. I explained to her that life sucks especially at that age and that it does eventually get better and at times it gets even worse but the only thing you can do is keep fighting. I hope she keeps in touch.

Different note Chris and his girlfriend cam over Saturday night to hang out with HB and I. Had some drinks and bullshitted, it was good times. I finally finished my Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs book since HB has been reading the Chronicals of Narnia I've been trying to read too. But I finshed it and said that now I needed to get a new book, well yesterday while I was at my other job, she went to the store and ended up getting me a book. Granted it's kind of a kids book but so is half the shit that Uncle Tom reads and trys to give me to read. The Burn Journals is a true story about when the author was 14 he doused a bathrobe in gas and put it on and set himself on fire. I think she just picked it up for me because it sounded sadistic, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Oh yeah and since I don't know if she's gonna post about it or not I need to. Last night we were lying in bed and staring deep into each others eyes with the moonlight shining through the window and she is saying something about how beautiful my eyes were and I thought I smelled something so I asked if she farted. I just interupted her to ask it, then started sniffing around because I thought I smelled something and earlier she said she felt gassy...lol. I told her from the getgo that I ruin moments alot!

Is it in the signs?

SO being bored and limited to my internet activity I was looking at horoscopes and stuff and found, find out if your signs are compatible: here are some excerpts.

When Taurus and Libra come together in a love affair, it can be the unification of two halves of a whole. These two Signs are thought of as being karmically linked. They're both looking for security in a relationship and they share a love of art, poetry and culture. (Seems true except I really don't give a rats ass about culture)

Taurus appreciates Libra's charm; if stubborn Taurus doesn't get their way, diplomatic Libra is able to smooth things over and keep the peace. Libra appreciates the luxuries that sensual Taurus provides them. They also have much to teach one another: Libra can help Taurus see the different sides of a situation, and Taurus can help Libra overcome their notorious indecision. (Does that mean she's gonna be my sugarmama when I get out of the Navy? And see I'm supposed to be indecisive, not you.)

Both Taurus and Libra are ruled by the Planet Venus. These partners share a love of beauty, luxury, love and romance. Libra in particular is keen on balance; both partners have charming personalities and desire harmony in their personal relationships. Venus's influence can create problems as well, however; these two Signs can both tend toward laziness and snobbery. (Well we may be lazy but we're not that snobby, are we?)

Taurus is an Earth Sign and Libra is an Air Sign. Taurus gets through life relying on their innate practicality, while Libra relies on intellectual exploration. Taurus asks, ""How will this help me achieve my goals in life?"" Libra, on the other hand, focuses on intellectual stimuli, whether it's practical or not. Conflicts can arise in this relationship if Taurus seems too possessive or Libra seems too flirtatious and social. Sometimes they just don't quite understand where the other is coming from. If they want theirs to be a long-lasting relationship, they must learn to accept that their views of the world are different in tone and focus. (I don't think I am the one who's gonna be flirting, I may talk to people but people think that she is flirtier)

Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Libra is a Cardinal Sign. In general in this relationship, Libra initiates it and Taurus keeps it going. A Fixed Sign won't budge, and Libra needs to understand the Bull's stubborn tendency. With some gentle persuasion, anything is possible -- and there is no Sign more gifted at gentle, subtle persuasion and charm than Libra. On the other hand, Libra's indecision may irritate direct, to-the-point Taurus. As long as Taurus tones down the tendency to declare that their way is the only acceptable way to do or see something, Libra can accept Taurus's decisions. (Like the other night, I tried to make peace and she tried to keep it going)

What's the best aspect of the Taurus-Libra relationship? Their shared love of pleasure, beauty and culture. Aesthetics are integral to both partners, and their similar tastes and loves make theirs a relationship of great romance and harmony. (And we live happily ever after!)

What just happened....

I'm not sure if last night qualified as our first fight or not but just to be safe I changed my counter to HB has been stuck with me, since I don't know if I screwed up or not. I just know that I felt bad especially since I didn't know what I did. BUt we made up, and it was fun...really fun! I was writing and spelling everything out but then I decided that since she reads it she may not like everything spelled out for the world to see. Look at me, being considerate of what she may feel not even knowing for sure. But anyways. SO I thought that people looked at me funny when I was bumping in my minivan but I found out yesterday I get more and funnier looks when my trunk is bumping but then I roll down my windows a bit and have Lynyrd Skynyrd blaring inside. I just looked back at them and started head banging, it was funny. So my probation officer called me yesterday and said that he was coming by my apt today when I get off from work. He needs to inspect it or something so now when I go home I have to stash all my plants, hide my pills in asprin bottles, put the coke in flour containers, and whatever else I need to hide. It should be fun times. Ahhhhh, I'm starving again, today apparently the office is going to DAve and Busters for a CAPT's going away, so I will go and meet everyone. Today I got to play with some liquid nitrogen and learn some of the things I may do once in a while. I need to bring snacks in here, Where's my Uncle Tom with candy?! Where's the cookies or doughnuts that people brought in from time to time? Ok I need to go smoke to suppress my apetite.

New Command

SO yesterday and today I have been checking into my new command. Everyone seems nice enough but it's just not my usual crew. Although I do have a nice big desk and there is a window in the office. But I can't check my yahoo email. Luckily though I can still get to blogger! Sorry I've been busy and unable to blog lately. As usual I have been speding time with HB and things are still going great! I still haven't messed anything up and we still yet to have an actual fight or even argument. We talked about it the other day and both of us thought it was odd. I may have to do something stupid just so we can have a fight. I'm actually suprised I haven't yet...that's my thing....it's what I do. But suprisingly this morning I put on my uniform that I can't remember the last time I wore but I got it in boot camp 4 years ago and it still fit thankfully, though it is getting really snug around the stomach. But I'm not buying new ones, I just have to fit in it for one more year! I did however have to buy new boots since the ones for this uniform became my concert boots when I thought I'd never wear it again. Oh yeah I finally got new shoes to replace my stinky ones this weekend. HB say they look like old man ugly shoes, they are quite hideous but they don't have stings, you just slide them on, which is what I do anyway, the stings just get in the way. We also went and bought some new CDs since both of us were complaining of getting tired of the ones in our cars. I bought As I lay dying, Funeral for a friend, CKY, and she bought me the new Lynyrd Skynyrd "Thyrty" album, canowine, you'll have to burn it! And she got 30 seconds to mars, Fallout boy(sellouts), and Dane Cook. All in all pretty good music and Dane is hilarious! This is my first time to sit down all day from running around. I am starving to death and need to get in the habit of bringing lunch or else I'll be down eating subway, pizzahut, taco bell, or whatever else they have down there spending all my money. MMMMMMM grilled stuffed burrito, yeah I'm going down to get one, but also they said that it shouldn't be a problem for me coming in and leaving early so that's awesome. They asked me what I'm gonna do when I get out and I just kind of laughed. I said I'm gonna work at my other job for a year or two and then possibly travel. It depends on too many factors right now to say what's gonna happen. Does HB really want to reenlist and if so for how long, does she want to stay in this area or go back to texas, will she get fed up with me and dump me before we even get that far. Who knows, planning sucks anyway, it's not adventerous. Anytime I try to plan something it goes to shit. SO fuck it live life and have fun right, and I am always having fun with HB. Well time for my burrito.

P.S. The other enlisted guy who sits in front of me is actually taking a nap under his desk, I think I am really going to like this place!!

New morning routine and weird dreams

I really like my new morning routine that will only last for this week. Except for the part where I get up way too early since HB has to go to work. But I get up, get ready pour my cup of coffee, help her get the kid downstairs even though she carries like 4 bags and won't let me help carry them, so I walk with or carry Gabe, kiss goodbye and off in our seperate cars we go. Oh yeah if anyone is constipated coffee+2 cigarettes+2 10in speakers throwing bass+30 minute car ride=poop. I think it's the bass that really helps push it to the opening. So I get to my other job, punch in, grab a set of keys, come to my building open the front door, grab a coat hanger to beak through the second door (I have a key but it is on the 2nd key ring that I don't ever grab), come in turn on the computer, go out the second door I just broke in and climb a ladder to jump a wall to the second floor so I can get around a couple more locked doors(keys also on the other ring), get to the bathroom, then grab a coke, if none go to another building which I do have keys for and use a knife to break into the closet that they lock the cokes in, come back, check my email, comments, and other blogs, I sit on my ass for a while and then go to our storage thing to actually begin my work with radioactive waste. I could really get used to this, it's fun. Plus since I do have to get up early I get more hours which means more money!

So I'm gonna have to check a dream dictionary because I had 2 crazy dreams last night. First one involver a like 100ft python loose as I was walking to my grandma's house. I noticed part of it moving on the side of the road and then noticed part of it in front of me and then noticed it on the other side of me and when I turned around it was lunginging at me. I of course jumped out of the way. There were fucking discovery channel bastards videotaping me and wouldn't help. I eventually got into grandma's house and was safe. The snake coiled it's self around the back part of the house, where grandma thew food out for it. My grandma used to have all kinds of stray cats, raccoons, groundhogs and everything else she'd throw food out for. And eventually a cameraman got too close and was eaten and I laughed as I recorded it with my nifty new digicam.

I then woke up all sweaty, not from being scared but because the temp was like a hundred degrees and I was thirsty. I got up turned the heat down, got a drink and was back off to dreamland.

My next dream was odd I remembered it when I woke up, then forgot it, remembered when I was brushing my teeth and now forgot it again. I think it was something strange about god but all I really remember is riding on bikes with my dad and uncle from my grandma's house I had a cooler on the back of my bike. I think I had captured god or something and put him in it and we were riding somewhere. All these dreams about my grandma kind of scare me, I hope nothing happens, I will lose it. She is old and brittle and sick quite a bit but seriously I will go ape shit! I mean she was feeding the snake so that shouldn't be bad, I don't think she was in the cooler, though she'd probably fit in it. I don't know I'll look it all up.

Snake
To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.

Let's hope for the self-renewal part. I am pretty sure it's not the forbidden sexuality, I'm not Eve eating a fruit....that sounds kind of gross. ANyways I guess Happy Humpday, tonight I'm back to my ever exciting counseling, Yay! NOT!

New choices for a New Year

SO again, it's a new year and this is the year that choice are going to have to be made. This is my last year in the military. I still need to decide what I want to do with my life. Next week I will be checking into my new command. First up I need to decide what the hell I'm gonna do with my hair, it's gotten pretty long. I kind of like it cuz I don't have to do anything but put my hat on and it forms to my head, no gel needed. I'd just need to get the bottom cut, though I will probably go back to the same high and tight that I've had the past 3 years. I need to drop my uniforms off tomorrow to get my rank sewn on since I'll be wearing actual Navy uniforms again. I need to decide when I'm gonna start taking college courses and what in. I need to talk to my new command and find out if I ccan change my hours so I can keep my other job or else I won't be getting here until late which means I'd need to stay later and then probably not see HB during the week. It just seems like so much is changing this year, which actually it is. At least it's starting out on a pretty good start, I am happily in love, not an alcoholic anymore, practiced some pretty good self control while I was home even though my cousin tried to get me in trouble(wait that was last year, but still). I hope this year keeps going this smoothly for me. Hell if I had some more money and HB was happier I'd say life couldn't get any better, but that'd be a lie. Life can always be better. I'm a little saad to see other bloggers year not starting off good. HB, TG, Kelbel, Jasika, Branshine, ok well almost everyone I read or at least check whenever there is a computer near me. I hope things pick up for all of you. I may be sugarcoating my life a little but hell it's alot better than where I was for the most part of 2005. I just hope that I make all the right choices this year and my path keeps going uphill. I don't mind curves or bumps as long as it's still going up. Now I need to go stare at the mirror and decide what to do. First things first...lol. Happy Tuesday.

Happy Fuckin New Year!

Happy New Year, I tried to audioblog at 1 am but the taxi we were waiting on was lost and when I switched over forgot to actually post it but oh well. My camera is cool except when you are too close the flash makes your face this white, oh well. Hope everyone else is safe. Take care!
