I haven't posted here in awhile so i feel the need to at least say something.

This summer has been sucking major ass.

A few bright spots still permeate. Visiting kate in Virginia. Kate visiting me in New York (well that's in the future but i'm sure it will be great). Seeing good friends that i've been waiting all summer to see, though NO where near as much as i would like. Especially since Talia is leaving tomorrow for 5 weeks, and sasha is gone too, at least she comes back in August sometime.

It also seems like i am putting my surrounds to waste too. All school year I look forward to coming back to New Ro, and now that i'm here i'm not doing shit. The city especially, all we ever do is go down to the Hookah bar and eat Falafel. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it feels like it is a waste of the city when there is so much else to do.

I don't even want to get on the subject of work. It sucks and i wish i didn't have to go. enough said.

I had suck big plans for this summer, they they are all disappearing and only the disappointment remains.

This sucks donkey balls.

A recently reprinted memoir by Frederick Douglass has footnotes explaining what words like "arraigned," "curried" and "exculpate" meant, and explaining who Job was. In other words, this man who was born a slave and never went to school educated himself to the point where his words now have to be explained to today's expensively under-educated generation. -Thomas Sowell

I need to stop getting drunk. Seriously, It never turns out well. I always end up doing stupid shit like breaking clocks and talking about how much i want to kill small little brown people (oh wait, i do that sober). And why is it that any meaningful conversations i've had in the past year i've always been drunk?

And of course the whole waking up the next morning feeling like you got run over by the Budweiser Clydesdales, and finding strange bruises and marks that you can't remember getting, is no good either.

AHHHH but the best, the best is coming home the next morning and you're parents feel the need to lecture you about how even though you're 19 years old and have spent a year away, alone, by yourself, they still deserve he courtesy of a phone call. And they do this most likely fully knowing that you are hung over like a bitch.

It's good to be home.......

Under the terrible stresses of war, there are some in every country who commit atrocities. The difference is that Americans are upset, ashamed, or angry when their troops do it, while people in some Middle Eastern countries danced in the streets on 9/11 and when the bodies of dead American civilians were dragged through the streets in Iraq.

Maybe life is fair. Maybe things really do even out. This past year has been awesome. A huge learning experience, and tons o' fun. Some shitty things and events at times, but that is to be expected.

Sometimes it just felt like college was a big waste of time and pointless, but you strive through the bullshit and come out the better.

Life is full of pointless, meaningless crap, just think of the pointless meanlingless crap you do here as training.

Fate has a funny way of turning around when you least expect it too, when your down and out and about to fold.

This past week has taught me something very important. Don't focus or concentrate on anything too hard, you're probably just setting yourself up for an even bigger fall.

It's when you just relax, take things in stride and nothing too serious that you may just get what you want, sometimes even more.

Ok somebody please explain this to me. You go to college and have a hug dry spell that lasts all god damn year. THEN you finally find what you've been looking for less the a week before school is over. How does this happen? Not fair, not at all. Well that kinda complicates matters now don't it. Going to be the Best/Worse summer ever. This is just too good to be true, and way to good to pass up. I'm falling.... Hard.

Hey Reel Big Fish are going to be in Sayreville, NJ on June 26th. Where is Sayreville NJ you may ask, why it's just outside Staten Island. It's kinda a trek (bout 50 miles, ewww) but i REALLY, REALLY REALLY want to go. I've never seen them in concert and this is the closest they are coming to NY. Everybody let me know if think this is a good idea or not. And if it's not, well then fuck you.

I need to update this damn thing. However there isn't much to stay.

Talia and Sasha are coming down in a alittle more then a week. That is about the only thing i am looking forward to in the next month. The Only thing.

I need to stop stressing over stupid things, like women, they are just a pain in the ass, except the ones reading this. So be it. I have accepted my fate.

I can't believe there are only 3 weeks left. Everything is going at the speed of light but those 3 weeks seem like forever away. And as if i'm not itching enough to get out of here, i've volunteered to stay around even longer. HA!

I need a Echo company billet. If not heads will role.

I say that like i have even the slightest amount of control or power.

I gotta get out of this place. If it's thing i ever do.

I'm going to donkey punch the next girl who says "i'm a nice guy"

Consider yourself forewarned.

Remember how we all reallllly looked forward to college because it was supposed to be so much better then high school, you know without all the drama and alot more fun? What happened to that? It just seems like the crap has increased ten-fold. More drama. More stupid pointless crap. More assholes (if that's possible). And less fun. I feel like i'm just accelerating faster and faster to the point where i'm either going to begin approaching the speed of light and disappear or just explode. Is the rest of life really filled with this much mind-numbing useless garbage. Does it get better? If it's going to end up being this bad i'm beginning to wonder "what's the point"?

I DID IT!!!! I PASSED MY PRT!!! Not that any of you really know what that means, but suffice to say that i'm a happy man, and one step closer to getting Uncle Sam to pay my way through college.

OMG this has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard.

35.714285714285715% of me is a huge nerd! How about you?

Got back at 2 am this morning. That makes a total 38 hours of traveling but welllllllll worth it. We looked like shit during the competition, out of 60 schools we probably came in the bottom 5. Yeah we sucked that much. I royally fucked up on more then one occasion. We didn't even go to the awards ceremony, Gunny said we would swing by tulane and pick up any trophies before we left. Then he came to his senses and realized that was lost cause. There was a 8 mile parade we had to do too, man did that suck balls, but it gave us a reason to stay an extra day.

Mardi grai however was fucking tight, world's biggest party. Everybody were walking with open cans of beer and bottles of jack daniels, and captain morgan's and the like. Not as much drunken debauchery as i would have liked though, most of the girls were not flashing so that kinda sucked. Finding alcohol was a challenge surprisingly, most of the places on Bourbon were carding. I've never seen so many people get arrested in my life.

This, of course, is the abridged version, I have a million more stories but they're the kind you have to tell in person.

IT'S MARDI GRAI TIME!! I'm getting the cameras my friend is getting the beads. Oh yeah, this is going to be awesome. See you suckas monday.

The eighties were the best decade ever. Especially when you can compress 10 years of bad fashion, bad taste, bad jokes and awesome music into one night.

However, god damn girls and their endless drama. It's starting to affecting my sex life, or better yet, contributing to it's lack thereof (there are other reasons that i'd care not to get into right now).

P.S. Apparently i'm John Cusak

Holy crap I didn't realize how much work this college thing was supposed to be. Well actually the whole "college" part isn't bad, i haven't been swamped with work but it's a good amount. NROTC however takes up much of my time. We're going to a drill competition at Tulane university in a week and we've only about 5 days of practice so far. And even better I have to do both Platoon Drill and Trick Drill. That's the one were you have to spin rifles and throw them up in the air and then do handstands as you catch them with a pinky finger and the like (ok maybe not that bad but similar). Basically we're going to look like shit and get anally raped by the other teams. At least we're going to have 2 nights of liberty to enjoy Mardi Grai.

On top of all that shit i need to get a scholarship this semester and try to get a billet for squad leader for next semester. Which means passing the PRT in 3 weeks by trying to cut 2 minutes off my run time. But that can be REALLY hard to do with a pulled Hamstring. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Ok before all you people explode and call me the biggest hypocrite in human history, I'll own up to it. I'm a douche bag. And this douche bag has decided to pledge to a fraternity. Proceed with your insults.

Anybody else think that gamed sucked ass?
