Well anyway, I'm about 6 days from heading back up north, I'm getting over a bad head cold, and the New AIM upgrade fucks with my comp-u-tar so I am not AIM capable anymore. I can't wait to be back in Indiana. The plan is basically 17 days of SINN: Sex, Intoxication, Nicotine, and Not Caring about the previous three. It should be epic win. The ( Read more... )

Well I talked with my PSG and not only am I a highly motivated "Two-Scoops-of-Hooah" kind of soldier, but he agreed to let me have a miles pass to Indiana over Memorial Day Weekend. w00t! The downside, I must take a plane and as such must fork up a generally high sum of money (estimates point toward $650-$700 range). I also have to print out an ( Read more... )

Why does it turn out that all the girls I seem to like, or be attracted to, or date or vice versa always seem to either A: serious mental issues. B: serious COMMITMENT issues. or C: get mental or emotional breakdowns after agout a month of being with me. (Ok in ( Read more... )

Well after too much time sitting in my barracks and rying to find a way to steal internet from the people I share my barraks with I finally bit the bullet and decided to go coffee house hopping. I found a good one thats run by a former marine turned army retiree. I think I'll be spending a little more time around here for a while, at least until ( Read more... )
