| Turkey Day |
| 11.29.04 (4:30 am) [edit] |
I had a spectacular Thanksgiving. It was just me, Steve (my roommate, AKA Angry Bear) and Julie. Julie made us a fantastic meal. I sous-chef'ed for her. She made a wonderful 15 pound bird (which we still have leftovers of). Then she made stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (to DIE for!!!), green beans and I made some dinner rolls to go with. The theme was organic. Not on purpose, mind you. We waited until wednesday to buy the turkey and thus had to find one fresh. What better place to buy a turkey than a Whole Foods market!! Thus, everything we bought was organic. Even the cranberry sauce.
Side note: Julie and I had a test. I asked her the ultimate Thanksgiving couples question ... whole berry or jellied cranberry sauce. She says jellied and I knew it was meant to be.
Lets see, today I am asking my commander to call the PEB and ask them what their reasoning was for declaring me fit for duty. Since, obviously, I am not. I think they thought I was getting out anyways and then I could file for disability through the VA. So essentially, they told me to fuck off. That would be great and all, but since I tried to re-enlist and was denied, that sort of blows that theory out of the water. The catch is, I don't think the board knew that. They ASSUMED!!! And everyone knows when you ASSUME you make an ASS of you and ME. Ha ha. Stupid fucks. I hope they rot in hell. I've gone through enough shit without having to explain every intricate detail of my life to some REMF pogue. Eat a dick. As they so eloquently put it, they don't deal in re-enlistments. If they don't, then why was I judged based on the fact that they thought I was getting out? Stupid REMFs.
BTW, REMF = Rear Echelon Mother Fucker. Basically, someone who simply pushes paperwork for a living, calls themself a "warrior" and yet fails in a consistent manner to push said paperwork and thus fucking over the "real" military.
I apologize to all those paperpushers who do not fall into this category. Not every admin person is a REMF in my mind. Many people DO their jobs and don't fuck over the people they support. They are not REMF's. Just wanted to clarify.
In other news, my Patriots are 10-1. What do ya'll know about that? Ha ha. What'chu know about Corey Dillon running over mf'ers? And in local news, The Redskins are playing for the top draft pick, but will prolly fall short of that too, since the 49er's and Miami are sucking balls better than the skins. Washington just can't win. Look on the bright side, you'll have a crappy ass baseball team to jeer at next year!!

| How geek am I |

Stolen from SheSpecies while she was wreaking mayhem in the parking lot. LOL
I AM 40% GEEK!  You probably work in computers, or a history deptartment at a college. You never really fit in with the "normal" crowd. But you have friends, and this is a good thing. |

| Waiting Sucks |
| 11.23.04 (3:27 am) [edit] |
So I did something a little dumb last week. I made Julie feel ignored, unappreciated and insignificant. It wasn't something big I did, just something little I didn't do. I've apologized, but I still felt like a heel for doing it. Fact is, she's the most important thing in my life. Don't tell Lelu, but I love Julie more than my dog! You have no idea how big that is.
Anywho, besides my little brainfart, Julie and I are doing fantastic. She is retiring from the Air Force after 22 years of service to this great nation of ours. January first is her official retirement date, but her last day of work is next Friday, I think. So let me be the first in line to say, Thank you Julie. For giving 22 years of your life defending our nation. I know what sacrifices you've made to accomplish this feat. As an American, I am proud to know you. And personally, I am proud to be called yours. Love you!!
So now that she is retiring and I am getting out, we're starting to plan our future life together. On that note, my med board is complete but waiting on one signature. As soon as I have that, I can get my orders releasing me. Also, December 1st I close on my house. That will pay off all my debt, except for my car, and leave me with about $20,000. Not bad for a three year investment that could have gone to rent anyways. Yeah, so where I was headed with that is, she and I have begun hunting for a house. Yes, we are going to buy a house together. I'm excited!! I feel like there should be some sort of hesitation, but I don't feel any. I also don't feel that "just get swept up in the tide and let things go where they may" feeling. This is a carefully thought out plan and I like it. There isn't a doubt in my mind that I couldn't love this woman for the rest of my life. She balances me well and makes me happier than I ever thought possible. On the flip side, I've never been so secure with the way someone loves me. I don't doubt her. I don't doubt that she could love me for the rest of her life.
Alright, I'm babbling now. Damn, doesn't anyone know when to shut me up?? LOL It feels good to babble. I haven't been able to blog as much lately and with all the stresses building on this stupid med board thing, I definitely need a healthy outlet. It will all be over soon.
So, on the job front ... I've had interviews with two companies. Both jobs sound interesting and pay well. Not exactly wet dream well, but well. It about doubles my current pay. I have three more interviews coming up. Once those are all done, I will sit back and review the offers I have. Most likely, I will take the job that leads me back to DISA, the agency I work for. I like it here. Its a relaxed atmosphere with good hours and its with a solid company. There's another one I like too, but its more corporate than DoD. Not sure if I want to go that route. Side note: I look spectacular in a suit. I've been blown away with my own appearance. That doesn't happen very often. LOL
OK, done babbling for now. If you come here, please leave Julie a comment thanking her for her service. She reads my blog all the time and will certainly appreciate it.

| Another day |
| 11.19.04 (2:56 am) [edit] |
My plan for the day? Finish checking out and then go fuck off and play video games. Yup. The pack is officially off.
I got another 500 views last night alone. And I've only posted once in the last month. Weird ...

| Yes, I'm still alive |
| 11.18.04 (6:57 am) [edit] |
Its been for-ever since I've been on here. Know what the scariest thing is? I've had over 2500 hits since my last post, over a month ago. I got more hits when I wasn't blogging than when I was. Fucking weird ...
Anywho, life has been treating me pretty well, I've just been busy as shit. Getting divorced, selling my house, transitioning out of the Marine Corps, dealing with my medical board, trying to maintain some sort of PT schedule, friends, family, dogs and ex-beeeeyach's. Yup.
So, I could be out of the Corps (at least not working anymore) as of next week. That requires that everyone does what they say they're going to do, but still. In that case, I would be "Home, Awaiting Orders". Meaning, fuck off time!!! Yay!! I have a job offer already making a fairly absurd amount of money. I would be a gov't contractor working at the same agency I work for now, but in a much better organization than I work at now. I would start in January some time, which is fine because I should be drawing my full pay for a few months anyways. That gives me Dec to unwind and unfuck my life a bit.
Oh, let me back up one. Add "visit my friends who are having babies" to my list of shit I've been up to. Thats right, S, my quasi-boss and good friend had a little baby boy. Unfortunately, he decided to come 2 months early. He's a little 3 pound thing, but 16 inches long still!! He's all arms and legs. Really cute though. Almost makes me want one. ALMOST. Not quite. Anyways, mother is fine and believe it or not, baby is too. His name is Ty Jayden. I believe he was named after Ty Pennington. Yes, the trading spaces dude. Yup, the peanut (as I call him) is breathing on his own and I think she was even able to feed him the other day. He's doing exceptionally well for being a premie. I'll ask her if its ok, but I have a picture of him. I'll see if she'll let me post it.
Yeah, so thats what I've been up to. How are ya'll doing? Really. I have some decent fuck off time coming my way and I'm gonna try to kickstart my blog again.
