Two weeks ago I started working out again, because I realized that if I get one of these security contractor jobs I've been applying for, I'll need to be fit for combat, since it'd be a very real possibility. It started out worse than I thought it would be, but it's quickly gotten better. When I first hit the gym, my arms were so sore...

Unlike against a static paper target, a missed shot still has an effect on an enemy human being. Well, didn't get the job in Kosovo. I checked last week and the opening wasn't posted on the company's site anymore, and since they haven't gotten in touch with me, it's a safe bet that the job went to someone else. It's whatever, I've no doubt there...

I also rarely see my friends, but that's because we're all working crazy hours and it's hard to find time to get together. I guess it sucks either way. Heck, being a responsible adult sucks in general when it comes to those things.
Everything is falling apart."
So, no wrecks this week, and because it wasn't my fault, my bosses don't really care that it happened. Though a few guys are making jokes about my driving now, but that's just how it goes. I like my job well enough, but I'm still looking to work overseas, so this weekend I reapplied for a security job in Europe. Kosovo,...

I think that's a tremendous change and something to be very proud of. I was never a quiet person, so it's hard for me to completely understand the effort and inner fights you had to go through, but you've got huge kudos from me. Keep it up! :)
Friday night at work was pretty stupid. I'm driving my work truck, a large 30ft straight truck, into the Federal Reserve by making a right turn, on a one-lane street. Well some genius decides that he's going to try to pass me ON THE RIGHT while I'm turning. Another guy sees him and motions for me to stop, so I do, but by this time...

So, I'm sure a lot of Americans are aware of that winter storm that kinda fucked up Atlanta earlier this week. Well, my job is driving down there and back every day, which means I got stuck in that storm. We finally came to a halt at about 5pm Tuesday afternoon, and didn't move until about 10am Wednesday morning. The road wasn't even clear for...

This past week, work's been going much better than it usually does. Even with a few problems, all week we've gotten our route done earlier than usual. I'd like to go on record and state that moving thousands of pounds of nickels is a pain in the ass, even with an electric power jack. Using a manual one is just hell. Unfortunately, things around the...

I'm never too sure where to start anything blog-like, so I guess we'll go chronologically. My brother and his family came into town Tuesday, but I had worked Monday night and had to work Tuesday, so I didn't get to see him until after my shift was over. And of course, nothing ever goes perfectly, so we had to stay an hour later than we...

Right, now that I'm all situated on the new site, maybe I should post something on my own page. Well, it's my 23rd birthday today, but I need the money, so I'm still going to work instead of calling out and sitting on my ass in my apartment. I'm at least treating myself to some steak all day, so it'll be a slightly better day...

I'm very sceptical when it comes to astrology, religion, or any other kind of belief that is based on things that cannot be measured.
