I haven't blogged in a long time, it feels sorta strange to return to the expansive reach that is Thoughts.com. I could write about everything that happened between now and the last post, but I just haven't the drive to sift through the past. Therefore, recent events is all you'll get for today. Strap yourself in and grab hold of something, 'cause i'm calling all pigs to the feeding.
Monday wasn't that bad (lol, I can't remember most of the day), but in my last hour of school, we had a guest speaker. This was no ordinary guest speaker from the local factory or fire station, this one was a Marine. He was only a little taller than I, yet managed to portray an atmosphere of quiet dominance. He answered questions about his day, his life, and whatever my fellow students thought was relevant for the occassion. One mistaken student make the folley of confusing the Army with the Marines, this is not a good thing. The Marines pride themselves on being harder, better, stronger, faster, (Daft Punk reference). I asked no questions, I already know a great deal about the Marines. lol, I know enough because, a year ago, I wanted to join the Marines with a fervent determination.
The bell soon rang and we made the (abiet hazardous) trek from the far corner of the school on the second floor all the way to the parking lot overflowing with yellow buses. The adventure is almost a half-mile in length and winds through my extreamly large school. Before I commenced on the "Oregan Trail"-esque, I went down the hall and got Ed, he was in Spanish (Native Speaker). Ed, his sis, Jessica, and I stode through the passage and eventually felt the warm sun as we pushed through the parameter doors. Thoughts about what the recruiter said course though my torrential mind as I walk from the school to my big yellow chariot. Actually, I can't remember if I rode the bus or not that day. My mind is unraveling. (On monday, we were promised a field trip for the day, but it was canceled at the last minute).
Tuesday (damn, I can't recall any of it, all my memories kinda run together now). I think this was the day that Ed and I had to build his sister a hovercraft from scratch. She had neglected to start on tim so now she has a little more than a week left to finish it. Soon, it is just after 15:30 (military time, lol) and I got down on my hands and knees to do for her in a few hours what took my whole crew a day. She was expecting a partner but she (Emily) was at work and wouldn't be free for a couple of hours. Ed and I worked in my garage amongst the herrendous mess bot soon enough, Emily was on her way. (I think she was in my engineering class last yer or maybe the year before). Emily got lost in the vast maze of my suburbia. Ed got in his car to go find her and guide her to my house. Ed's sis and I were left to work until he returned with the appropriate reinforcments.
Ed's sis moped around the garage, drowning in a dark sea of self pity and reluctance as I want Han Solo (Star Wars reference) on the half-completed hovercraft. A while later, two Hondas are parked out front, one of which bears forth Ed and from the other, Emily. They join us in the garage and from here on, the work ethic kinda assumes a half-life of about 30 seconds. My mom brought back McDonald's while we were "working" and that kinda made things slide just a little easier. This is all made awesome because for the time from when I got home to when Emily arrived, I was wearing nothing mother than my track shorts and a sombrero. Soon, the season finale of House was on and Julie and I were holed up in the living room glued to the screen. Every once in a while, Ed would come in and watch with us. Half-way through the show, Ed, his sis, and Emily had to go, we parted good times as they drove off. The unfinished hovercraft was secured to Ed's car by mere duct tape. Also on Tuesday, I spoke to the recruiter durring my lunch.
Wednesday, durring my last hour of the skool day, we had a party that I completely forgot about. And because I forgot about it, I was the only idiot who showed up without food and drinks. UGH, this is usually the point where I admit defeat and consign my self to the depths of the tortuous universe. But not that day, that day was mine and I would not let my degenerating mind fail me again. I grabbed my friend's phone and dial out to Papa Johns Intl. I ordered a shitload of pizza with my employee discount and in half and hour, the pizza arrived. This was (to an extent) pointles, because a class of teenagers and kill a few pizzas with no problem at all. I was proud that my last minute resourcfulness overcame that hours and hours of colonary preperation that went in to my classmates' dietary delights. After skool, I went with the recruiter to his office. It smelled of beaurocracy and unspoken compliance. He led me to a small room where I took a pre-ASVAB test. It was like the full lenghth version, only shorter. I got a pretty good score, higher than they expected. My score was high enough to let me choose from over 80% of all careers in the Marines. After that, we sat and talke about my future in the Marines provided I signed up. I'll disclose more about that later.
Thursday, I spent this day in the hospital. They stuck a camera up my nose, it was painful and numbing. I might choose to wright more about this day but for now, . . . . meh
Friday, I'm tired, bored, and I gotta finish a hovercraft, dammit. Today is when I write this but I might choose to elaborate on it later.
Enjoy the music and videos, post away and spread the word. I'd like to get more views and comments so put up some ads about me, lol. Adios, now i gotta get a board and a lawnmower engine airborne.
