OK, so it's July 18, 2005. We've been at war with Iraqi insurgents and their buddies for quite some time now. Our men and women have been getting shot at and shot up. In my simple mind it just reaffirms my support of our boys and girls in the desert. That being said, I ran across a real buffoon at the bank this afternoon. I was there, minding ( Read more... )

Yeah so the 4th was an awesome weekend. I think Jerm may be able his road weariness by now. We drove down, saw a couple friends in Raleigh and crashed there. The next day we rolled back to Luke's and bought Pizza, drinks and liquor. We consumed every drop of liquor, all but 2 pizzas and most of the drinks. I got way too drunk, again. But it's ( Read more... )

OK, it's 6:52 pm on Thursday, tomorrow I get to drive to NC with Jerm to hang out with Luke. It's been TO FUCKING LONG since we've all gotten to hang out. I wish we could get together more often, god knows I'd give a testicle to see my bros more. But alas it's just not possible these days. We've managed to spread ourselves pretty much up and ( Read more... )

I just gotta post this lil tidbit. I went and put my name on the list for a 2007 Shelby Cobra GT500 a day or so ago. I'm ninth on their list, and they're expecting to get 15 of them. I can't wait, now I just hope I don't miss the call because I'll have about an hour to get up there with a check for the deposit. Deliveries are anticipated ( Read more... )

I would just like to say that you 3 fucktards on my short but distinguished friends list need to update more often. For the love of Peanut Butter & Jelly ( Read more... )

Well well well. How the world can change in a short period of time. My buddy Tony is now a daddy. His daughter was born last night. I haven't gone to see her yet because I can't stand hospitals, but I'll go see her once she's home. What else......lemme see....we closed on the new mortgage last week. Man what a relief, I was gettin really ( Read more... )

Man, February 22 huh.....I really should update this thing more often. Not a lot going on around here these days. I have had a pair of abscesses on my tailbone, pinodial I think is what they're calling them. I gotta go to the doc Wednesday to talk about some kind of surgery that'll make it so I don't get these anymore. Man I do hate doctor's. ( Read more... )

Well that was fun. I got to spend my entire weekend holed up in my brothers garage with him and my dad working on a motor. It reminded me a lot of when I was just a kid, helping dad do one thing or another to the cars. It's been a really long time since we've done that kind of stuff, all 3 of us. I think the last time all 3 of us tore down a ( Read more... )

Well, it's now February 3, 2005. Yesterday was the last day that I was a crew member of USS Enterprise. After 4 years, 8 months and a few days. It felt incredible to salute the ensign one last time as I departed for good. I walked down the brow with a huge grin on my face. Bigger even than coming home after a first deployment. There were lots ( Read more... )

OK, so I have my check out card from the Enterprise now, it's almost complete. One of the things I accomplished on it today was my checkout interview with the Command Master Chief. And Jerm, you'd be impressed, this guy's pretty genuine and a decent fella as far as I can tell. CMC does these interviews 2-3 guys at a time to make things a little ( Read more... )
