Hello what's up everybody, I haven't used this account in like 9 months, but perhaps I shall start again. So I have been gone from home for 4 months because I have been at basic training and AIT cause I'm in the Army National Guard.  I found that I do not like being away from home, especially in South Carolina.  In like 2 days, I am a certified Chaplain's assistant, that's awesome.  I can't wait to go back to California though. I am excited, I miss everyone so much.  I still look the same as I did when I left home, I might be a little bit more buff now but that's it. I hope you are all doing well and that we can coordinate something and get together. Maybe we'll go bladding or something, I told you the Army wouldn't change the way I was. Hope you all take care, see you soon.

Hey Guys. So her name is Jerry Clink, some of you may know her. I officially asked her yesterday when we went to go see Hitch. If you are single and looking, go watch Hitch and take some notes, or if you are in a relationship, go watch Hitch and take notes anyway.  I drove to San Jose area for my classical music concert yesterday, it would have been awesome if it was close to home.  They played 2 songs, 1st one was 35-40 minutes with a crazy piano player. Second was over an hour long with just orchestra and strings.  It was crazy. I have never seen a tuba mute before then, that's a huge mamjama.  I got lost I think 7 times coming home, so that was exciting. I got home at about 2. I have to be in Oakdale tomorrow at 530 am because of this drill training thing, DANG GENA!!! I will have just gone to sleep 2 hours prior to having to leave.Well That's all I got, but I'm quite happy . that's what my face was like all of yesterday. See you all Later.

Wow, my recruiter is kinda out there. I was flippin out cause I was supposed to go to drill training this weekend but my boss hadn't found a replacement yet. Well I just called my recruiter and he told me it was next weekend, so I'm ok whatever. Apparently that works out better for my boss, i'm house sitting this weekend so I guess better for me as well, and I'm teaching college group so now I know what time I will be there. The only bad part is, I have this ticket for swinging at the ritz, but now I cannot go to that. Dang, oh well. Maybe i'll see if lil koskela wants it, cause he was sounding interested in it.  I slept from about midnight til 1pm today, it was awesome.  I'm gonna go watch the last boys basketball game tonight, if you guys can go you should.  Thursday i'm gonna go be a band geek for a few hours at the music marathon, heck yeah. Yesterday I was cruzin Wal-Mart and I saw 2 copies of the Roper CD. Well I wanted one, and Kevin never got Tom's so I got him one too, it's a good cd.  So sunday at work, I was very chipper. When people asked me how work was I told them that I was chipper, which is a word that I've never used before in my life.  I was just chillin listening to the monstermash and was just happy. PC and Sandy's retirement dinner was sweet. I was dead by the end of it, even though it was only 830, so I went to bed at 11, but didn't fall asleep til 230, I hate that, but oh well.That's all folks.
