a heavy downpour has nixed my plans for a holiday weekend motorcycle ride to the river or hill country. so, instead I have the music cranked up loud and I am drinking Montepulciano in a cracked wine glass and cleaning up the apartment a bit. Ico is helping as best he can by attacking my feet and running about like a madman.

Working 60 plus hour weeks with trips home to visit family on the weekends. I feel like I haven't really had a day to rest for a while. and then this weekend I get to go to drill and dress up in desert camo and run around....huzzah. I probably enjoy it. If I didn't actually enjoy being in the Marines, I wouldn't still be doing...

God, I hear you on that degree thing. I keep changing mine. At this point, I think I'll just finish up with a History major and call it quits.

woken out of a deep sleep at 3am for no good reason. for a couple minutes I was pissed, thinking I had to get back to sleep for a couple hours before I woke up for work....then I realized it was Saturday...so I guess it's not so bad.

Yeah, why doesn't eH have questions like "On a scale of one to seven, how important is being able to talk about New York's lack of booty with your gay man friend while high on xanax and tarot cards at his divorced mom's house?"
Because that's a SEVEN! TEN FOUR BUDDY.
Link fixed!

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...

Gymkata was the motherfuckin' HEAT, dude! That and Enter The Ninja, my personal favorite.
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.

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...

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.

I wish I was going to SXSW this year!! Have a drink for me.
And your kitty -- ridiculously cute
I haven't ready Only Revolutions yet as I'm trying to get inspiration for some horror stories so I'm contemplating re-reading House of Leaves again.
And I never really went away, I was just being real, real quiet.
