Well, I hooked up the ex with a friend on here, and she got 2 photo sets done this past weekend. I was really impressed with how they came out too. The outdoor shots were totally amazing. Hell, I myself am now planning to get a set done with this photographer when I move out there again next year for the Navy. Well today I am planning to go out with my buddy who is home on leave, and then making some money later this afternoon. I've pretty much given up all hope of going home for Christmas. No point really, why waste the money? Now the only matter is convincing my friends here that I need o leave before Christmas. I'd feel bad to play their lack of knowledge about the military against them and say "They said I have to leave before Christmas" but long story short, I hate Christmas. The season just makes me depressed because I have a lot of great, and a few terrible memories associated with the holiday. The last time I ever saw my first betrothed before she cheated on me while in Iraq was during Christmas. When I got in trouble while in the Army I missed Christmas, I spent two Christmas holidays in Iraq, and last Christmas, sure I got to finally see my family after 4 years of absence but I also happened to meet my now ex-wife last Christmas. So yeah a lot of emotions tied up with the holiday season.
I'm not even gonna get into the commercialized bullshit of it either.
So yeah I'm looking to get out of here before or around Christmas and head off to the Navy. The contract I'd like would like to get would be at about a $20,000 sign on bonus (so I could pay back Dawn for the car I ruined), base of my choice (either San Diego or Great Lakes), and 6 years of service so I'd be eligible for benefits after I get out. I may be a pisces from SoCal no less, but fuck ships, and fuck the ocean. Not a big fan of that whole being isolated from society for 6 months or more thing. I already did 2 Iraq tours in the Army for goodness' sake. So yeah, hopefully I'll get my crap cleared up with the National Guard, get a release signed and go into the Navy before the new year. So yeah that's the update from me folks.
