another day ... another ... dollar?

well da vinci code was pretty good ... i mean the book was a lot better but thats always the case ... but i always like to see how the movie goes on the screen compared to the movie in my head ... go see ...

update on the roommate situation ... my det sgt has set the ball in motion to get orders cut so he can move out ... and hopefully that is soon ... recent developments is that he might be crazy ... i had a friend come over and watch "last comic standing" ... she has a friend on the show that makes it but she doesnt have the cable to watch the show ... well my roommate goes into laughing fits (from what we thought was the show) from some stupid ass movie he was watching ... he continues ... for about 3 hours to laugh and talk to himself ... my friend now realizes why i hate him so much ...

getting down to deployment time ... we are getting dates set up to go back home for block leave and eventually R&R while down range ... i really think that i am going to be ok and have a suprisingly good time ... i am going to buy a video camera so clips and pictures will be posted from down range ...

weird thing ... that girl that slept over the other night (again nothing happened) ... seems to have taken a liking to me ... shes pretty hot so i am really excited ... down fall is that she is moving to the windy city july 1 and i deploy in sept ... bad timing ... have fun while you can i guess ...

note: old school tricks are still in use today ... the yawn and stretch at the movies ... apparently is now a must ... i guess i am starting to get old ... i thought about it ... then i was like she is going to think im a retard ... no ... she was disappointed it didnt happen ... knowing is half the battle ...

Mid weekend report ...

First of all I am really glad to be back to "normal" scheduled life and thank you to everyone out there listening ...

Its only Saturday and I have had one of the best weekends ever ... so we had a half day on Thursday and our commander and det sgt bought us lunch and thanked us and really told us what they thought about our field exercise (it was all good) ... then my buddy and I ended up going out to relax and just bs ... well some of my other friends met up with us at the end of the night and they brought along an extra friend (female type :) ) ... needless to say it had been a while since I had a nice conversation and woke up next to a beautiful girl (nothing happened, really) we woke up, drank some coffee, watched some tv and she left ( I got an aar [after action review] which is going to lead to another night out Sunday ) ... but just that feeling of holding someone in your arms before you fall asleep is one of the best feelings in the world (especially if you have true feelings for them)

So Friday kicked off nice with that wake up ... called my buddy up to start wondering around town looking for something to do (btw his wife is out of town so he has a weekend pass) ... we ate lunch at a nice sandwich place and then went to see xmen (won the coin toss ... di vinci code Sunday night or Monday, I will post review as soon as I get home) ... xmen was a little disappointing but was filled with action ... then ... we went to the tattoo parlor ...



50 mins and two hundred dollars later I got my tattoo ... I am very happy with the turn out ... the next adventure ended our night ... we picked up some nice cigars and chilled at the gentlemans club for about two hours (my first time to one around here, suprisingly clean and nice)

today is going to involve laundry and end the night at someone's house that is getting the UFC fight ... other than that I am going to do my best to keep up the greatest weekend I have had in a very long time ...

back ...

oh man ... I am going to spare you the details but ... this "training" exercise was horrible and not properly planned ... it turns out we were getting "certified" on a pay system that no one has been really trained on ... so you can draw your own conclusions on that ... but it involved confusion, yelling, staying up till mid night for some 2 am for others, no eating, and my soul was taken by this new pay system (dont worry ... I will get it back this weekend ... we have 4 and half days off in a row) ... but on a kinda good note ... our full bird was around inspecting with the ltc and 4 csm ... anywho they pretended to be customers and I showed them how I use the system ... yada yada yada ... I get praised for knowing what I am doing (btw I balanced all 3 days and had no serious problems) ... so on their way out of our "fob", the full bird asked a customer (someone who really had nothing to do with this training except to come in and play dumb customers) what they liked about the training exercise as a whole ... and her response ... "well the male cashier (me) was horrible the first day ... but is doing good today" ... first of all I was good all 3 days ... and she was a bitch!

but i'm back now ... we have a half day today and we have off till tues ... my plans include drinking (responsibly), getting a tattoo, sleeping, and hopefully going to the movies to see xmen and da vinci code (I loved the book) ...

B out!

field ...

right now i am so upset at what has happened over the last couple days, "preparing" for the field ... i wont be back until thurs, but its in time for a four day weekend ... then its go crazy time ...

ps - i see the border patrol thing is already making the news ... lets see how bush spins this one ...

15 May 2006 

interesting problem ...

i think its kinda hard to organize your own thoughts about something that only you know what are really trying to say ...

14 May 2006 

here fishy fishy ...

well bush is allocating guard troops to the border ... we are going to send help to new england with this flooding (hopefully in time to help) ... i just hope we dont spread ourselves thin here at home ...

... on another note ... i'm lonely ... when i get back from iraq i am going to be on a mission to find myself a girl!!! (or maybe my idea will kick in and i will find myself a movie star girlfriend ... mandy moore watch out)

 

drum roll please ...

Ladies and gentlemen ... *trumpets sounding* ... the roommate has been reassigned to a new unit ... he is going to help with another aspect of our job with the main unit we support ... I would like to thank everyone for listening to me complain and I would also like to thank everyone in my office that told him, "this is going to be a great opportunity" ... [they were all pulling for me ;)] ... its gonna take just a little while longer till he gets new quarters ...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! I was a good son/grandson ... made the phone calls today ... was glad to hear everyone is doing great ... to all the moms out there ... thank you!

Its funny ... they tell us that we are going to iraq ... we all knew it and have come to accept it ... our familys pray that we dont go ... now its to the point where I am looking forward to going and my family has come to accept it and then we get the word ... so far no orders, but prepare to go still ... why would you tell us that ... why ... I want to go now I am going to be disappointed if I dont go ... I would have rather you told me as I was about to get on the plane ... more dramatic that way ... but needless to say ... I am going to keep preparing like we are going ...

speaking of which ... the army is going to pay for me to go ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD for R&R ... right now I have germany and Italy as my destination ... open to suggestions ...

told my mom of my idea ... she said I was crazy ... she said she wouldnt watch her own son if he was on tv ... I don't blame her ... not that I am a bad kid or anything .. but would you want to watch your kids on real world ... I don't know ...

bing bing ... i'm telling you just like that idea add on ... I gotta write this one down ...

I think its been said (i'll have to look it up) ... but really smart people, super creative, etc ... are on the verge of being crazy ... kinda like if someone is kinda crazy ... maybe they are just really close to being really smart ... not saying I am super smart or crazy ... but ideas flow through my head like a sickness ... sometimes I run with it ... sometimes I try to make it stop ... this leads me to something ....

my friend here ... call him ... george ... well anyway george is probly my "best friend" here in the army ... we are different enough to not really get bored but we are always on the same wave length ... and we were talking ... and we both agreed that what we are doing here I the army is great ... the opportunity that has been provided ... the chance to go to iraq and help our fellow soldiers ... but in the same way ... we are kind of ... how do I say this without being taken the wrong way ... being held back ... as in ... we don't use our brains ... we don't really have to think ... and its kinda like a smart kid in a average class ... bored ...

physically the army pushes you I guess ... I find myself pretty good at that ... not in the best shape but in good shape ... its the mental challenge that gets to me ... cause there is none ... and I think thats why my brain always runs with these ideas ... trying to keep itself sharp ... its like my brain is its own self ... <---- i am joking ... i thought that would be funny to put there ... ok back to being a complete waste and watch some tv ... later peoples ...

I really think Bush had something to do with this one ...

So I think I need to stop reading the news ... today I read and find out that Cuba is going to allow oil drilling off their coast ... remember ... you can pretty much see Cuba from Florida ... soooo what does the US govt say when some US companies where given the oppertunity to bid? The big NO ... said that no US companies can bid on that project ... I mean dont you agree ... its kinda like why get milk delivered to your doorstep when you can pay more and walk down the street to get it ... so seeing all this happening what took place next you say? China ... China is going to buy up these contracts ... excuse me for a second ... "Hey Dick! Who teamed up with Russia after you pissed them off and said you are going to find ways to bypass them on the whole energy food chain?" ... "Ummm China I think ... cant quiet remember" ... "Thanks Dick!" ... ok sorry I'm back ... sometimes I just stand up in my office after reading the cnn.com and just applaud ... my commander looks at me funny when I do this but I think he is afraid to ask ...

my big idea keeps growing ... i keep organizing ... now i just need some advice now how to get it in the right hands ... anyone know how to get ahold of an agent?

 

quick notes ...

Well its true ... someone pointed out to me that chaney is just running his mouth and messing everything up ... no russia is all pissed off cause not only did he bash them about human rights ... but then chaney goes and talks to a county that HAS NO HUMAN RIGHTS and talks about cutting russia out of the energy loop ... but have no fear china is backing russia up in this little stand off that one russian official said "could lead to a second cold war" ... geez thanks again dick!

meanwhile my commander told me that I will be staying with bravo for the deployment ... I am really happy about this ... he had some other encouraging words of wisdom for me ... he told us kinda where we will be ... but I cant pronouce it [even if I was aloud to tell you] and if I tried I would be way off ... I'm actually getting kind of excited to head over to Iraq ... we have been told that we are going to have a lot of down time for school and lifting ... two things I am going to do religiously over there ... come back all smart and buff :) ...

... roommate still sucks ... but I am going to refrain for complaining about him ... I have been doing that alot lately and I think that when I stop someone will get him out of my room ... ok really quick .... HE SHOWERED AFTER PT FOR ONCE!!!! [I guess thats not really complaining] ...

if anyone out there can get me an [talent/tv] agent's email address, I have some questions I would like to ask about a project I have started ... any help on this would be grateful ... thank you in advance

quick rants ...

MI:3 ... it was ok ... entertaining ... same ol same ol ...

soooo until the other day I was able to say, "at least Dick Chaney isnt running around saying whatever he wants" ... and then the other day he had to go and run his mouth about russia ... just what we needed at this very moment in time ... thanks Dick!

so I think aol should hire me as a consultant ... I have some good ideas that could turn them around ...

another chapter in my roommates pathetic life ...

sorry I really dont like to be complaining about his guy ... but he just doesnt stop ... he called up and spirint and started complaining because they blocked porno websites from his phone ... and when they told him that they dont allow those sites on their network he hung up on them ... he was really mad ... WHAT A LOSER ... then he asked to use my computer and he got a very strong NO!!!

I hit the submit button :O

... so I think that my idea is a good one. I actually wrote it down, started organizing my thoughts on it, and have actually done a little research on it. Now, usually I get a good idea and I immediately blow it off because I could never implement my ideas. Well I thought to myself "Self! This is a pretty good idea and I think you should at least do yourself some justice and attempt to submit it!" So I have done just that (really I emailed someone at the writers guild and asked them some simple questions. BUT ... its a start).

So I sit here after hitting the submit button on their "contact us with a question form" and I feel kinda scared. I mean what happens if they email me back ... or even if they email me back and they give me some encouragement and good advice that ... I could possibly pitch my idea? That would be just too crazy ... but who knows ...

ps - anyone know a good way to tell my mom that I will be taking mid tour leave to germany (and then possibly Italy from there :)) instead of MD? I dont think she is going to take it well anyway I put it but I am accepting ideas ... thanks in advance!

pss - I caught my roommate going through my drawers ... I think thats grounds for moving out ... either that or I will cash in on my promise to rip his head off if he even steps foot on my side of the room :) night

santana and steven tyler ...

I know, I know, I know
Part of me says let it go
Everything must have it seasons
Round and round it goes
And every day's the one before
But this time, this time

I'm gonna try anything to just feel better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything to just feel better

And I can't find my way
God I need a change
And I do anything to just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better

 

I think its a sickness ...

I couldnt fall asleep last night ... finally was able to close my eyes for the night around 2:30 am ... going on 3 hrs sleep ... all because my head wouldnt turn off ...
