Very nice.

My Grandpa died. He was a Marine Colonel that fought on the island Iowo Jima.  His Kabar got him off the island.

He would have loved to hear your stories Demon.

Sorry about your grandfather Morbid. I wish yourself and your family strength for the road ahead.

Also, since your grandfather dying is.. one of those things, you'll probably find my post highly inappropriate, just a heads up.

So this chick at work is smoking ass hot. I mean gorgeous. It must just be me, since everyone else I ask is all "Meh.. she's alright." but I think she's straight up sexy. She has the nicest ass I've ever seen too. I mean this thing is huge, and nobody can deny the greatness of it. It's like God had a perfect ass and he could only put it on a single girl and she nailed it. I can't even walk straight when we go to break and she's in front of me. It's like that. She also has a fantastic personality. I'd wager to say near perfect. No, not in your average perfect (she's sort of funny, understanding, blah blah blah) mindset. The girl is a straight up mildly civilized hillbilly. She cusses as much as me, tells kick ass jokes, tells it like it is, and doesn't hold anything back. What you see is what you get. Hell, I haven't had a full on conversation with her without her burping at least once, and you know what? That's cool with me. I'm sure she can be a lady if she really wanted to, but the lady thing is really played out. I'm tired of dating girls that look fantastic but have zero sense of humor, less personality than a fresh pile of dog squat, and think getting ready is an all-afternoon affair, or girls that are just flat out crazy. She seems pretty straightforward, and that's all I want. Iuno, what I see I like, and there doesn't appear to be that much else to know.

Long story short I'm thinking really hard about dropping some obvious hints. I've never been really good about that, too much beating around the bush (I don't know how or why) so I've decided to do it in a way that can't fail: Tell the gay guy at work who happens to be her buddy and is a massive gossip queen. All you have to do is HINT at it with him and I'd wager anything it won't take longer than it takes for him to prance on over to her for her to get the picture.

Iuno. Seems like a smart move. Though I'm not really TRYING to get into anything at the moment, I do like her. She's hot as hell, makes me laugh my ass off (none of that phony giggly **** I have to do when other girls think they're funny), and seems to think quite a bit like me, making it that much easier to enjoy being around her.

It's funny though.. Before I even said anything to anyone, people started saying things like "Oh hey, maybe you'll get to work with ______ today..." with little grins and **** in a suave little voice, so I'm wondering what the hell was up with all that.

Anyways, life: good not great.

I think I might get a job at a Boy Scout summer camp soon. If I do, I'll be working for 9 weeks from June to August.

During this time period, I'll probably have little to no access to the Internet most of the time. I'll also have to stay away from video games for that period.

It'll be a great experience though, for we'll be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the camp and 100 years of Scouting.

I've worked at the camp before for the past 3 years, but the 2009 season ended with tragedy. I hope I can pull myself together this coming summer...

hmm sounds interesting. no internet is.........bad but otherwise sounds good for you.

Ah, I haven't disappeared on you guys, I've just been studying for/taking midterms. I'll be back soon to post more frequently.

Well I got a job with the Census.  I'm being relocated to Key West for the next 6-8 weeks or so.  They're putting me up in a nice hotel and I get per diem as well as mileage reimbursements!  Though things are pretty hectic down there for the next couple of weeks due to spring break.  Really, that'll be the hardest part of my stay there; to avoid partying too hard.  The locals are laidback people, there's very little violent crime, and even the poorer areas aren't too bad so I should be fine.  I was there the past week but had to comeback to Miami yesterday (and leave later today) as I was ill-prepared for a stay past the week.  I hate having to drive there (or back) though.  It may be only three hours (each way) but there's only one or two lanes the entire way (there's only 1 road to get in by ground), the road is in poor condition, the speed limit wildly fluctuates, and there's a lot of segments where one is unable to pull over since there's ongoing construction at the moment.

I didn't know there was any other use for per diem besides partying haha. How good is the per diem for where you are going?

71 bones a day.  Also, the per diem is actually separate from gas, that's reimbursed into my paycheck and there is a rate of fifty cents per mile on gas reimbursements.  Our supervisor was bitching at us that we make more money than him since he doesn't get per diem (he's a local).  The Census was desperate in getting people to go to the Florida Keys, it's far and a lot of people didn't want to leave their familes.  When I was offered it, I said yes as soon as they mentioned "We're going to cover your hotel in Key West...", lol.  They even gave me a room with 2 queen beds! They figure since people didn't want to go there alone, to give people rooms with multiple beds so they can bring friends/family/significant other(s).  It makes sense, in my training class (20 or so) there were only 4 or 5 people in my age range.  Everyone else was a fat middle aged woman.  Nearly the entire training group was coming from outside of the Keys, few locals were hired it seems. 

I got promoted last month(verizon) so i get an extra 80 cents an hour. Thats not bad i guess, it's better than a buddy of mine who got 20 cents! lol. March 8th, i bought a house for myself, fiance' and daughter. It's got a pretty big yard for my 2 loving gernam shepard puppies. All in all things are going good. I'm getting married in june so i'm sure that will change! lol  

On the way home from band practice today I was driving behind a couple of guys both wearing hoodies with the hoods up.  From the back they looked like yard gnomes, then when I got along side while passing them they looked like jawas.

If I feel it, I feel it. If I don't, I don't. If it ain't really real then I probably won't.

Just had a job interview at GameStop on Saturday.  I think it went pretty well.  It was a group interview and I was up against two girls  (that in itself damages my chances), as well as the other groups that had been interview before mine and after.  

Either way, like I said, I think it went pretty well.  I'm friends with everyone that works there, and I know a few of them were rooting for me.  One of them came up and fixed my tie, checked the collar,  made sure I was looking spiffy, and another was giving me tips on what to say or not say.  It was pretty funny.  Now I wait for about 2 weeks before I get a call.  I'll keep checking in every few days, just to make sure.

My first blog about Afghanistan is up.

Just got married yesterday. We've been together for 4 and a half years so far and have two kids together a boy and a girl.

The wheels of my life appear to be moving slowly forward.  I've got my first middle school practicum next week, bringing me one step closer to actually becoming qualified at my nascent choice of career.  Grad school, however, is constantly threatening to kick my ass.

This spring break's been pretty fun, though.  Two of my friends and I basically holed up in my living room for three and a half days playing Final Fantasy XIII.  We subsisted on sandwiches, burritos, and McDonalds, and we are all probably worse off for it.  But FFXIII is so cool, who cares?
