I'm still alive...

You know, if anybody like cares :)

Life's been crasy but it's been fun, I'm seriously considering applying for a long term overseas mission position.

Life or something like it

You know, it's been a while since I've written anything here on Livejournal, this is mostly due to the fact that for a while I completely forgot about it. I failed to set it up in my home tabs in my browser so this is like the first time I've looked this journal in ages.

Life has been life, it hasn't been exceedingly great nor has it been overly depressing. Since my last post I've gotten back together with, been engaged to and then broken up with one of my EX's. I've been to San Antionio and gotten to spend time with my family whom I dearly miss seeing on a regular basis, espeically my little Niece Katy. My brother got deployed to Iraq, but thankfully he's coming back sometime in the next two months give or take Lastly my Grand Father to whom I was not particualrly close to for a whole host of self-absorbed idiotic childish reasons, died.

I don't know if I'll be posting anything more here or not, just thought I'd throw out an update for any who might care :)

Also if you're on facebook or myspace and want one more friend to add to your list look me up

Facebook:

Myspace:

I check both of those daily, so if you really need to keep track of me that'll be the simplest way of doing so. You could also email me but that's like so last century.

Can we say sporatic at best?

Yes, it's yet another in a long string of "yeah I'm still alive" posts to this journal. I appologise to any of my friends who are still out there reading this but updating this sucker has been on the tail end of a long list of other things and to be honest it just kinda skipped ahead in teh line because I happened to wonder onto the LJ site and couldn't bring myself to check things here without adding something. Even if it is this meaningless drivel.

That said, life has been mostly good intersperced with some not so good moments, I got a raise at work (big one) then my Fiance broke our engagement off then we kinda sorta got back together and now I'm staring at the end of a week with no word from her since she's gone home fo the holidays. Meh. I figure when she feels the need she'll call and I can find other ways and things to occupy my time till then, like christmas shopping! Which is what I plan to do some of today.

So wish me luck as I venture out into the dog eat dog world of mall shopping during christmas!

Boo!


74 % aiming high, 25 % deck swabbing, 11 % army strong, 10 % grunting





Congratulations! Way to push your "man-up" button and see how you'd fit in the DoD.

The scores are self-explanatory, but it you don't get it, you may want to join the Army regardless. (I kid.) For those not familiar with the US armed forces, "aiming high" is your Air Force aptitude, "army strong" is so obvious it's Army-proof, "grunting" is your Marine Corps ranking, and "deck-swabbing" is your Navy percentile.

If you scored about the same in two categories, you're fairly average. (Unless you scored highly for both Air Force and Marines, in which case God help you, because there is no safe place for you.) More than likely, your Navy and Air Force aptitudes were similar. Those are the two branches of service that know how to have a laugh or two, chill when possible, and still get the job done and done right.

You may also have similar Army and Marine Corps aptitudes. Nothing wrong with that at all; you're probably just more on the straightforward and practical (Army) or humorless and ruthless, but badass (MC) side of life.

If you were split between Army and Air Force or Army and Navy, well, you're odd, but you may find happiness as a Department of the Army Civilian. First, ask yourself an important question: are you okay with another person being the lord of your fucking universe just because they pinned on their last rank - which is the same as yours - a day before you did? If the answer is yes, run, don't walk, to join that Army of One, because you don't belong a damn place else.

Finally, if you came out even across all four, don't mistake yourself for "average" as a result. You're a freak. Square peg, kid. You may want to spend a few years on a mountaintop, just figuring shit out.

Got Pirate?

Alright already!

Well it as usual has been a while, yes gen I got your nudge, and to be honest there's not a whole lot to report at the moment. I've got a job that keeps me busy most of the day. When I'm home I've got an assortment of distractions that occupy my free time then I sleep and get up and do it all over the next day until the weekend comes. Come monday it starts all over again.

Is it fun? Nah, but it's something resembling a life, I say resemmbling because that's all it is. A rough facimili of life but it'll due till I can get my house in order and move on to doing something truely meaningful.

Till next time, g'journey and god bless

PS... If you want to talk to me I can usually be found online on MSN Messenger, sometimes on AIM or Y! but not often.

PPS... Gen, Bama was askign bout you the other day when we were playing online, so it's kinda funny that you nudged me when you did.

Got Pirate?

Been a while...

So I thought I'd start back with sumthin funny...

1. Go to google.com.

2. Click on Maps.

3. Click on Get Directions.

4. From: New York, New York.

5. To: Paris, France.

6. Then, read line #23.

7. Laugh.

8. Repost.


Now with that outta the way, man it's been intresting to say the least, I won't go into all the gorey details simply because I don't want to here, but suffice to say myself and Lacie are once again something. I say something because well there's really not anyway to put it into words. sShe went home to San Antonio with me for Easter and things went very well. My little niece Katy is getting soooo big and cute doesn't even begin to cover it. Just to give you an idea of the level of cuteness, I want in the front door and she comes running around the corner and swings her arms out wide and says "Unca Davie!" and it only got better from there. It so made me wish I could just stay there... *sigh*

Anyway, I had my first brush with anestiesia today, it was intresting, they stuck me and in two minutes flat I was out. Woke up two hours later Lacie sitting by my side. Definatly an intresting way to catch up on one's sleep.

Lastly, I got the estimate on my car and the guy at allstate cut me a check for 600 somethin bucks, but he refused to recognise that any of the other damage done to my ride was done by the fender hit, I'm gonna take the car to Moose sometime next week and get him to look at it and hopfully get it all fixed up. Might end up having to rent a car or something. Ah well, that's life.

Well that's all from me, till next time, G'luck, G'journey, and God Bless!

All good things must come to an end... or so they say

So yeah, last night Lacie comes over "to wash her bed spread", the reality is that she wants to talk about something. That something is the fact that she can't continue to date me, i asked her why and we went back and fourth and I really never got a straight awnser.

The sad part is that I came into this knowing that this could happen, it's not the first time it has and to be honest given the chance it probably wouldn't be the last but I thought we'd both gotten to a good point. Turns out while I had... she hadn't and the rest as they say is history.

The sad part is I still love her and I'd probably take her back in a heartbeat even knowing that this could and probably would happen again.

Meh... the heart is a strange and fearful thing.

On the plus side though, least I don't have to shell out anything for Valentines day, though even that is bitter sweet.

Happy New YEAR!

Yeah I know, just a little late but it couldn't be avoided since I wasn't here at the house for the big event, all the same welcome to the two thousandth and seventh year of our Lord Jesus Christ!

May it see you well through your next 365 days of life!

Merry Christmas and HAppy New Year!

Well sorta, I'm off tomorrow morning for my whirlwind christmas journey, first I'm driving up to Lacie's then I'm driving back down to Jackson where I'll be catching a flight down to San Antionio by way of Houston. Christmas there and then another flight back up here on tuesday again via huston. I think I'm gonna be covering well over two thousand miles once it's all said and done in the one weekend. Wuite a feat if you ask me, ain't modern technology great!

Well that's about it for me, if you feel up to it I'd appreciate any prayers I can get, can't ever have too many of those.
