Do not Take scanner on Vacation.

I’ve spent a little too much money, and drank a little too much beer. I feel free. I’ve started cataloging all my DVD’s and what not that I may want to bring overseas. Also, I started burning some of my friends (for personal use) so that I can watch them also, adding to my expenses, the purchase of a scanner and burning software.

Annoyingly my laptop has started to shut off without much less of a warning as a buzzing clunk when I unplug my battery. Which is impeding my inventory of movies, but I’ve managed to scan in about 300 items. I had no idea the amount of movies, and x-box games I had. I’m a geek. Just don’t tell anyone, because no one really knows.

Things with “Delta” are going pretty good. She stayed over last night, but only got to second base… is that what they call it. I can’t remember that stuff anymore. Heavy petting, god, know I sound like I’m out of the 50’s. I like spending time with her, and am really enjoying exploring her sarcastic sense of humor. It’s almost as fine tuned as mine, and I’m pretty ruthless in my observations (examples another day). I’ve noticed she has a many insecurities, I think this is “normal”, I’m not sure though. I’ve dated quite a bit in the past, but never really go to know them before breaking up with them, or simply just wasn’t paying that close of attention. I think it will all pan out. Hell if it doesn’t I still go the deployment to fall back on.

Yet another god forsaken piece of land here I come. With movies this time.

3:30AM,WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

When the holidays are over I will be very relieved. I just got out of the active duty army so I could start going to college, and I just bought a house where I was an army recruiter. Now I’m getting ready to deploy again. I’m looking forward to it. I love serving my country. But the process of getting here has been very stressful. To start with I missed 5 weeks of the semester (my first one), the last week I missed happened to be finals week. I had to go to some “familiarization” training at Fort Campbell. 2 weeks before that I had just gotten back from 28 days in Alabama, for my job training. Not the job I’m doing but the one I’m currently assigned. Over all I think I’ve got some great soldiers to lead, good workers, and smart too. Some problems with the leadership, but it’s nothing that won’t get worked out or solved. Overall I’m thinking this is going to be a great deployment. I know my mother wishes that I wasn’t going, but what are you going to do.

On another note; after of a year of mostly being single, I’ve met someone who is very engaging to me. And she has a similar sense of humor, which is a big deal to me. If you can make a jab when it counts it’s just boring, and it won’t last. It’s just ironic or something to that effect that I finally met someone with so little time left in the country. It’s a cosmic gag of some kind. I’ll tell you a little bit about her. “Delta” is smart, college educated. Financially were similar also, we both have our own homes. Very witty, I am put in my place and a few occasions. Which I like to think is a little harder than it may seem. Overall “Delta” is beautiful, and intelligent. So let’s see how this rocks out in the mean time. I got money placed for bets.

I’ll do my best to keep this going, and post at least every Sunday.
