    so, i've been neglecting this lately.

    though, i suppose that happens when i don't have internet in the barracks (their are no phone lines or anything hooked up yet to the trailers were living in now). I will be getting internet as soon as possible there though. i've got my own room in this trailer and its big. sweetness.

    and i haven't had any free time the last few weeks...cus...well...i spend all my free time up in wasilla now. heh.

    fun times :)

    ill get back to this more often...once i have my own internet.

    I'm getting really bad at this whole updating my journal thing.

    Maybe it would help if i had internet of my own...gonna be another month or so before i have that though.

    sucky i know.

    Everyone in my platoon is going to fairbanks for some training, but me and a couple other guys arent....for some reason....

    so i'm going to be sitting around here while they are shooting at stuff.

    oh well.

    i'm on a 5 day weekend right now...because i worked a 24 hours shift on wensday, and got thursday off...and then the army gets a 4 day weekend for labor day. yay.

    not that i'm doing anything exciting.

    But i have met a girl

    we will see how that goes

    Black eyes are back in style.
    So All week i've been in combatives training. basically, learn how to fight. ju-jit-su/grappling style, like those gracie brothers that kick everyones ass. for two days all we did was spar with each other. tuesday and wensday that is. i was so exhausted, i couldn't do anything but sleep at the end of the night, and i have bruises all over. And i pulled something real good in my leg.

    and then today, we took punches. i've got a nice black eye (hence the subject) It was alot of fun though actually...i'm just all beat up. ugh. one more day of this stuff. then the weekend. heavenly weekend.

    hooray for black eyes. i think it might actually be my first ever...

    So, yesterday went pretty well.

    Nice long run in the morning for PT, sat on the internet all morning at work, got promoted in the afternoon to PFC (even though it was a full month overdue) then went out bowling that night, and threw 13 games...including 11 200's, 3 of them were in the 250s, and a couple in the 240s, and a couple more in the 230s.

    and today...idk...i might go to this rave thingy tonight. dunno yet.

    need to find a girl still....

    ha, so i'm posting today! yay.

    anyways, i moved from one set of barracks to another yesterday, and consequently, i have no internet in my room. *AHHH* its driving me insane, i gotta go to the library or the WZ and hope that there is a computer open that i can go on. no messangers though. which sucks.

    oh, and today we were at the old barracks moving one of our guys stuff, he's up at mountain school right now, and one of our guys...the one in charge of us actually...found a cloth that looked real terrorist like. so he wrapped it around his head, and decided to go run outside.

    well it just so happened....the on duty MP's were coming to the building because of an intrusion alarm, and one of them freaked out and got all serious when he saw our dude running around outside like that. I guess he thought it was a real alarm or something, and a single terrorist was attacking the MP barracks, with a bunch of off duty mp's standing around hanging out with him.

    i keep bursting out with laughter whenever i think about it.

    oh, it's raining again, and i still haven't got the window fixed on my car

    John <--------------stupid

    another boring weekend. i went bowling again last night. woo me! i managed not to tear the skin off my thumb this time, either.

    so, i have a presentation in my college course due sometime this week. maybe monday. oops. i have a feeling i'm not going to get around to it...and if i have to give it on monday, it's going to be alot of bull. but i'll manage it somehow.

    So it's been awhile since i updated...

    tells you how interesting my life is up here, huh?

    What did i do this weekend? well i tore all the skin off the inside of my thumb, because i threw roughly 30 games of bowling in one night. ouch. its cool though, because i can gross people out with it.

    yup, i'm a geek, and no need to say it, i already know, i really need to get laid...

    over 8 months now...yikes.

    And somehow, i have a feeling that when i go home on leave this winter, i wont have quite the success with the females as i did last time i went home on leave.

    but then again....i really didn't expect to do that well last time either...


    So...i'm considering trying to meet some people...well girls...off the internet up here...again. didn't go so well last spring...almost did...



    I got another roomate this week. This guy is like hardcore christian............and i've got these posters on my wall of almost naked demony girls with wings and tails, and piercings, and tattoos. and another poster with a bunch of severed bleeding heads. and hes sleeping on a bunk above mine. umm. they arent coming down. and i'm not changing the music i listen to either. oh, and i own a bunch of CD's of christian bands...but the only one he has heard of is mxpx.

    well, i'm going to try again to go to sleep. gotta go to work tomorrow....

    So i watched the premiere episode of 'over there' on FX tonight.

    For any who don't know what show that is, it's basically about a squad of soldiers who are deployed to Iraq.

    They are all infantry, except for the females, which are drivers/mechanics.

    now, there were definately several mistakes i noticed, such as no one was sweating, or drinking water, and they did a couple things that are against things that are pounded into you so hard in the first week of basic you do them without thought. like the guy who kept calling his squad leader 'sir' and the female soldier who decided to leave to go to the bathroom by herself. NO ONE who has been through a week of basic training would make those mistakes.

    Oh, and when they roll over the little patch of earth with the flags in it at the end of the episode, and the earth blows up, that was pretty real. that's how our guys are getting killed over there. except most of the explosives arent marked with little white flags. they are just under the dirt. or inside a dead animal carcass, or inside that old pepsi can.

    And they aren't on the side of the road where you have to pull over to get hit by them. the bastards put them right in the road, and often several in a way so that there is no way to go around them, or accidentily miss them. So you just have to hope your gunner is good at spotting piles of dirt, or trash, or dead animals, or rocks that look out of place.

    ok, i'm off to bed now.

    so i found out today that i am going to be going to three highspeed military schools.

    Air assault

    SRT (Military FBI)

    PSD (Military Secret Service.)


    they haven't given me the dates or anything, but the entire platoon is gettin AA and SRT, and i am one of a couple getting PSD. I was also told that i'm going to need to invest in a suit for PSD.

    I'm going to be all highspeed, and have a padded resume...heh.

    so, i went to the summer meltdown today. 10 bands, 10 hours. well...the first 5 i didn't really get into...but the last 5 were awesome.

    Jaime, how come you never made me get into the moshpit at the shows we went to back in madison? I speant the better part of the last 5 bands in the middle of the mosh pit, and it was the greatest thing ever.

    So yea, starting with Subconscious, i decided to try the mosh pit for once...and loved it. despite the fact that i was slammed into the ground, head first during their last song. maybe that was why i liked it so much actually. i got a rather large bump on the side of my head now.

    Elly found me and attacked me briefly when i went to go get a bottle of water after subconscious played, and then when delmag started playing we ran into the pit together. she got hit pretty good in the gut though, real quickly, and got out, and then went and sat with the friends she came with for most of the rest of the show.

    I moshed for part of unjust as well, but not the whole time.

    I spent the entire time right up front in the center of the mosh pit for both twelve tribes, and 36 crazyfists. The singer for twelve tribes had these dreadlocks like down to his waist, and he did a stage dive....right ontop of me, which was pretty cool. 36 crazyfists were the headliners, but i personally think twelve tribes put on the better show. i'm sure most people from alaska would disagree with me though, because 36 is from here in alaska. though 36 did put on an awesome show to.

    But now, i'm sunburnt all to hell, my legs are exhausted...and beat up, as is the rest of my body...and it's bed time.

    goodnight.

    well, i survived the jump. We were delayed a couple hours because of the weather. The ceiling was too low for the airforce to take off, even though they fly these same planes into hurricanes. heh. anyways, the descent to the ground was extremely slow, and a very soft landing.
    5:04 am
    I leave now for suicide ATTEMPT #7

    For anyone who doesn't realize, that means i'm jumping out of a plane for the 7th time today.

    And as usual, i'm scared out of my mind :)

    This should be awesome.

    So, friday night, Shelly kidnapped me. With her friends Trisha and Ambie. And then we kidnapped burroughs. And this guy they called tarot. we all went camping. and drinking. only trisha was of age. but yea, anyways, so we were up till like 4, drinking, playing with the fire, being loud. etc. tarot gave the girls tarot readings....then we all went to bed. anyways, that afternoon (err...night, but it felt like afternoon) the cops show up. some other campers complained about us being loud and drinking the night before. well..........luckily i knew them, because i use to work with them (as of last friday i don't work as a cop anymore) so they told me if i told the truth, they wouldn't do anything. so i told them we had been drinking some, and that we didn't realize we were being that loud. so they told me that i knew better then that, and to be quiet, cus if they had to come back out they would take us in. so they left, and then we left for a different lake and campsite. no one was within like a mile of us there. so we could be loud that night again. and we were, and it was great.

    ugh, i need to be at work in like 7 hours. and i only slept about 5 total while camping this weekend. and i'm really dehydrated, and i'm working out at 6:30 in the morning. ugh.
