I'm filing today under "So much for THAT idea"
I haven't been able to go visit my father since he started his chemo and radiation last week. I was heading out earlier this morning. Taking the less used roads down towards San Antonio. I got about twenty miles outside of Austin when the 10% chance of rain turned into 100%. :/ a little rain is...

Whoa congrats on that. I hate life right now. I have been sitting in my room since 10AM waiting to get released from work. Theres nothing to do except the 1st Sgt wants us to stay till 1600-1630... wtf mate? Even gy and the lt are sitting around joking doing nothing. And they wonder why I don't want to re-up.
Oh a funny story about that. A bunch of us with less than a year left were outisde the CO office waiting to talk to the 1st Sgt and he comes out and tells us to go police call...then we have to go do some more ghey shit. And then they wonder why everyone hates it here. Maybe its the less than 1:1 dwell ratio... Maybe its the gay workups. who knows. I want to get as far away from Rad Bn. heres what I am trying to re-up for. www.dtra.mil its a suit job

Ohh guess what.. we ran in boots today again.
been busy.
worked a 60 hour week last week. didn't even really feel like it. was just working and working and working. finally got the motorcycle back, only to find it still didn't run well, so I had to send it back in to the shop. turned out fouled sparkplugs and a dirty airfilter were the culprits. had them drain the carb and check the...

so. this last week. not too much going on. the usual work and work and work. It's starting to get hotter out, which means work will get busier and less pleasant. I spent about eight hours yesterday squeezed into an attic crawlspace at about 120 degrees. not comfortable. I look back on jobs and really like that I worked with my hands to accomplish something...

Spent the first day doing a lot of patrolling and jumping in and out of the back of a HMMV. then did some urban operations and demo work the rest of the weekend. fun stuff but tiring. this won't make much sense to anyone non-military but now that we've...

Hey, thanks for your comment. It nice to see a familiar name.
300 was amazing. Now all my friends are talking about how they saw it and they all have me totally pumped to go and see it again!
Lucky Number Slevin was a movie that I was very impressed by. It took me months to see it, but I wasn't disappointed when I did. And I think Miami Vice is going to be a movie that I see, but then don't tell people I saw.

Doing well -- just not on here much. I use my myspace http://www.myspace.com/thatmikespace more, but I'm generally just starting to get back into the blogging... and in a different (and much more verbose) way 
How's things for you? It always sounds like you're having a pretty good time of it when I read your journal. I'll go back and look, but I'm guessing you haven't made it out this way in a while. I was thinking about going to visit Austin sometime this year - might look you up

United 93 was pretty good... We watched it while in Iraq, when it finally came out on DVD. I have to give it to the director; the pace was kept at a good enough pace as to allow me to put suspension of disbelief in place. I had to keep reminding myself that things weren't going to end well for the cast.
Ah, well.
Glad to hear things are going well for you. I'm getting ready for a couple of vacations (well, one is a training trip... in Vegas), and hopefully I'll be back in the groove afterwards.

Yah its freaking me out waking up at 530 wide awake. Everyone else is the same too. I guess its not too bad.
nothing really going on. just sitting here on a saturday drinking Cafe Du Monde cofee with chicory and listening to the playlist I made on that snowday last week. currently up Johnny Cash "The Long Black Veil".
this is the first weekend in a while that I don't have something pressing going on. Holidays are done. I don't have to go to drill for a...

Sorry to hear about your pops, man. That sucks. Let me know how it goes or if you need anything.
I'm not looking forward to my B-day coming up. Not because I think I am old, but because it takes me like 6 damn months to remember that I am no longer whatever age I was before adn by then I have to start preppin' myself for the next b-day... Sucks.
I like the crunk version though
