*My Journey To Happiness*

Friday, 15 July 2005

So I actually have a few things to say today. How very different of me, huh?

I am temporarily going to a school on a different base. I am taking a leadership course. I don't know if it is the fact that I am starved for knowledge that I am having a great time or the class is actually a good one. Either way, I am having fun. Meeting new people, and working hard. The class itself is only 3-4 hours and then there is homework. There are eleven internet lessions that have to be completed. I am done with eight of them and there is still another week of class left! I have been staying late working on the base computers to get all of my work done.

Last week I got a text message from Kari. In case you don't remember her, and I wouldn't expect you to, she was a girl I met while she was on her spring break (like three years ago). I haven't talked to her in about a year and a half. It was right around the time that I first discovered this site. I was always hoping for more between us, and when it became painfully obvious that it wasn't going to happen and I realized that she wasn't being as good of a friend either, I stopped trying. Anyways, it was surprizing that she even remembered me, much less thought about me. But she soon ended the text conversation. I didn't give it much thought. Girls are odd sometimes. I thought maybe she was just erasing numbers from her phone and came across mine. No big deal. (Even more surprising was the fact that I never erased her number.) She text me again last night, only this time she wanted to talk, so I called her. We talked for about two hours, maybe longer. I haven't talked to ANYONE that long in the last six months, maybe even longer than that. Hell, I am hard pressed to spend twenty minutes on the phone. She was very complimentary. She missed me. She has crossed my thoughts every now and then but I really hadn't missed her. At least, I didn't think so. It was a lot of fun talking to her again. As long as I don't get attached, It is all good.

My roommate Heather has gotten on my nerves a little. I guess I just got use to living alone. Half of the time, I just want to scream, "MIIIIINNNEEE!!!!!!!!!" Luckily, I can control myself a little and only manage to look grumpy.

I guess I am going out tonight, hopeful it will be fun. I need the relaxation after all the work I put in this week. Wish me luck (you know why)

Not much to add, but felt I should post something, since I am here.

Flirted with this girl at work. It was nice to see her flirt back, but she is already attached to someone else. Didn't stop her from inviting me to hang out. Why can't I find SINGLE, OF AGE women???

Unlike my not finding women, Heather had someone in bed with her this morning. I noticed when I left for work. I haven't got the story yet though.

Peace out for now, G's. lol

Today is Thursday, right? Ok, I am sorry. I got caught up at work and couldn't make it. It should have been a free day; but alas, you never know what will happen.

I have been working out for about two maybe three months now, and I have FINALLY got my weight back down to 190lbs. Twenty more pounds and I will be back at what I was last year at this time. Wish me luck.

Work has been ok. One of my friends got himself a DUI a while back and is getting off of restriction today. After he is done with his alone time with his wife we should be drinking. Don't worry though, there won't be any driving, just a whole lot of swerving going on, lol.

I was able to get a guy out of trouble the other day. He works in my shop, but is temporarily working for a different one. I happened to be walking by when he told a superior to "Fuck Off". I was able to convince the guy to let me counsel him instead of sending him to mast. (Mast is like court; where you receive punishments, like fines and brig time.) It felt good to be able to help. He is a guy, like myself, who CAN'T get into trouble again, or he will be kicked out. Anyways, I am starting to like being a supervisor. On the other side, there is a supervisor for a different shop who keeps sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. I actually like the guy, but lately he has been giving my guys orders and I don't like that. Jay is becoming irritating at work, or more accurately, his lack of work is becoming irritating.

ARGGH! I hate complaining! It puts me in a bad mood. I need a smoke. I am sure I left out half of what I wanted to type today, but what's new? Are-re-ba-dare-che (like that?lol)

BTW-- can anyone recommend a brand of computer to help me narrow my search? All I need it to do is have a lot of memory for High resolution photographs and music storage. No gaming, or work, just a little photoshop and some internet. Help!?
