As of yesterday I am officially 27. Happy Birthday to me, but wish it was a little better. I had to do a lot of running around and had to catch up on work. Not the ideal things to do on your b-day. Oh well, there's always next year.

Had a great time at the tattoo convention yesterday. Pin-Ups, tattoo artists, hotrods, it was amazing. Hope whoever else went had a good time. I'm already looking forward to it coming back next year.

Is very excited for today. I get to go home to NY for a week and I get to meet my nephew, then on Sunday I get to be a godfather. It's pretty important stuff going on right now for me. Well, I'll still be in touch but just giving you all a head up in what's going on for me.

More time at the gym. I have to say my stay in the mountains did wonders for me physically. I just finished a badass back workout (really trying to get into shape for summer), after I hit the stairmaster for 15 minutes, the the treadmill (1.75 miles in 15 minutes, tiring), then swam for 20 minutes. All in all about 2 hours and change at...

I'm back and in case anyone was wondering, bridgeport is still cold, the mountains are high and it still sucks to carry around tons of shit walking those tall ass mountains in the cold. Believe me, just got finished with that and you don't have to plan a trip and find out for yourself. You'd be amased how much weight you could lose when your...

Well the day is finally upon me. Today I head off to Bridgeport for a month for some good ol' USMC high altitude and cold weather training. Should be a real blast. I'm excited to be going, but I've been told it's going to suck really bad. The elevation, the snow, and the fact that it's wet there doesn't make for a good time. Oh...

thought yesterday was bad. Woke up (in lots and lots of pain) so I had some advil and a banana washed it down with some OJ and went to work. Guess what? There was a 2 mile hill run waiting for me, tight. But wait, it gets better. I have to run with one of my guys because he's not in great shape, so we...

did something stupid today. Initiallt a buddy and I went to the gym this morning so we could workout together. We wanted to try out one of those classes that they offer. It turned out to be a jazzercise or something. Since doing that wasn't an option, we decided to just lift weights. Leg day. After we were done, the cycling class started. I thought...

Yup, came back late last night, what a week. We hardly did anything but we still had to stay out there. We got rained on MOnday morning (like around 3ish) and it didn't stop till around 8. Then it rained again in in the afternoon time. It was a horrible experience. Next up, Bridgeport. I'm happy to say it will not be raining at all...

going to the field tomorrow. I'll be back next thursday. I week with no shower. Going to be a real blast.

20 mile hike yesterday, started 6:00pm and ended 2:00am this morning. Still can't walk right. My feet are killing me. Couldn't even go to the bar I'm trying to work at cause I told them I was unable to walk. Seriously, my feet fucking hurt so bad.

Let's run down today:
445am-rise and no shine (sun didn't come up till about 625am)
530am-Jiu Jitsu
630am-Gym workout
9am-Marine Corps Urinalysis, I get picked to coordinate. I'm in the sun for 4 hours (Irish heritage + no sun block = skin cancer someday)
1pm-finally get a chance to have my first meal (it was leftovers from last night)
430pm-evaluate a buddy give a machinegun...
