March Madness!

No, I'm not talking about college basketball, but my work schedule. Holy crap! Starting March 4, I have 7 days of driver's training. Then I work 2 nights, then have 2 days off, then it's off to the field for 5 days. Going out there for a live fire exercise. should be cool, but I don't like being out in the field too much. And it's going to be cold as hell cuz it's up north. (i don't mean north korea) After that, we have to get ready for a huge inspection on April 4th. March is slammed!

...Now on to college hoops... might as well drop off an early prediction. Arizona baby, all the way. I don't want to hear any Illinois front runners talkin smack. Nobody has ever been an Illinois fan, so don't start now.

Dismantling

If you haven't heard, the Kings traded Webber late last night. I was a little stunned at first. Webber is a pretty big name in Sac. But then I realized that's all he is. Those that know me, know that I've never been a huge Chris Webber fan. A trade to bring some big names to Sac would be awesome. But have you seen the crap that he was traded for?! Scoreless (Corliss) Williamson (the name speaks for itself), Kenny Thomas (who is an average player on his best night), and Brian Skinner. Who the foop is Brian Skinner?! This guy was pretty much the last guy on the Sixers' bench. It would have been nice to see another big name come into Sac... not these shmoes. It was a horrible trade.

Statistically, the Kings haven't done too bad without Webber in the past, when he's been down due to injury. But they've had the players to back it up. But, at the beginning of the year, Peja was demanding to be traded. His contract ends after this year, and he becomes a free agent, there's no way he's going to stay in Sac. So that would leave Bibby and Miller and possibly Jackson. I don't expect the Kings to make it too far in the playoffs this year, and if they make the playoffs at all next year, it will be the 7th or 8th seed. The Kings are far off from being a championship contender any time soon.

Happy Birfday!!

It's my baby's birthday tomorrow. I'm not going to be at work tomorrow and won't have access to a computer, so I thought I'd post it now. The big 18. Still seems a little crazy to me, especially since I've known her since she was in the 6th grade.

Hope you have a great 18th bday, babe! I love you and miss you so much! I wish I could be there for it. We'll see each other soon though!

You

Every road that I've been down
The only truth that I have found
There's only one thing
I can't live without
You

I was searching for something I thought I would never find
Losing my mind
In and out of bad love
I thought I was born to lose
Then came you
I thought I knew what the real thing was
But nothing shakes me like your love does
I've been hypnotized
Now I realize

Every time I get lost
In a tempermental mood
You still stay cool
Just when I think that this life's about to drive me insane
You take the reins
Every time I feel I'm drifting off course
You're my compass, you're my one true north
In a mixed up world You make sense to me girl

Yeah, every road girl Leads me to you
And baby, that's all I need to know

Every road that I've been down in my life
Every time I feel I'm taking off
Every road that I've been down in my life
Every road girl, leads me to you
Yes it did, yes it did
Every road girl
Every road leads me to you

Fill Me Up

I just had to let you know
'Cause I don't always let it show
You give me needed room to grow
And I just had to tell you so

You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things, you give away
Sometimes I take for granted

It's just like poetry inside
To hear you breathing by my side
Like I'm in heaven and I've died
So glad you're with me for this ride

You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things, you give away
Sometimes I take for granted

I see your face to start my day
Makes all my bad dreams go away
And all the stupid games we play
Wouldn't have it any other way

You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things, you give away
Sometimes I take for granted

You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away
And all these things, you give away
Sometimes I take for granted

just thought i'd throw something up here, just for the sake of updating. NOBODY updates their blogs, thus I have nothing to read when I get to work. c'mon now... I've been off for 3 days, and nobody has updated since my last night at work.

alright, anyhoo... i haven't told everyone, so i thought i'd just throw it up here, so you all will know, well everyone that reads this that is, which is about 5 people, lol... my official DEROS date, which is when I leave Korea, is 28 Nov. 2006, but my ETS date, which is when I get out of the military, is 8 Feb, 2007. So because it's only about a month and a half from my DEROS to my ETS, they'll just keep me in Korea until I ETS. So 8th of February, 2007. Mark in on your calendars! That's 2 F'n years! I'm dying and it's only been 2 months! haha.

as usual, nothing new. I'll just end it here. no use rambling on and on about nothing. peace out!

nothing new

wow... i haven't posted on this thing for a while now. Same stuff, different day, as usual. it's been a long couple of weeks. i've actually had quite a bit going on, as far as work goes, and just getting stuff taken care of. we got another new NCO the other day. SGT. Taylor. he doesn't seem so bad, but i haven't had to work with him yet, so i dont really know. got some good news... i'll be off for the super bowl. that's a bonus. except here, it's super bowl monday, instead of sunday... and the game starts at 7am. it's a little odd, but could be worse. at least i get to watch the game. I guess my Colts prediction went down the crapper. LOL. I'm never too good with super bowl predictions. I'll be routing for the Eagles on Sun... err, Monday, i guess. lol. I won't be heartbroken if they lose though... i really could care less who wins.

my nerves are fried lately. everything either stresses me out, or pisses me off. from the time i wake up, til the time i go to bed, i'm in a horrible mood. I don't know what the cause of it is... I guess i'm just stressed out. But things like yesterday and last night don't help, that's for sure.

Looks like me coming home in June for a month is pretty much out of the question. When it comes time for me to put in my leave, I'll only have 9 days saved up. And I dont think that i can swing the home town recruiting AND my leave... i don't think my unit will let me do home town recruiting at all. I think the most I'll be able to take is 14. That's kinda crappy. Two weeks is better than nothing though. But, if my commander won't let me take extra days of leave... I'll only be able to take the 9. I don't really know if that will be worth it. it's going to cost over $1000 for me to come home. I want to at least be able to get my money's worth when i do come home.

I haven't done much calling home lately. I called my dad the other day, for the first time in about 3 weeks. Hadley is the only person I call on a regular basis. I feel bad cuz i haven't called much of my family since I've been here. other than the few phone calls i made on christmas, i haven't called at all. i'm just not in the mood though. i don't want to be in a downer mood when i call my family.

Tomorrow is the start of my 3 days off. I'll probably sleep all day, since I don't get off of work until 6am. So, the day is pretty much shot, and I don't think I can go off post at night, because of the training exercises going on right now, they're not allowing us to go off post. I've got a few things I need to take care of on my days off, but I can probably knock it all out in half a day. Things on the "to do" list include: get a hair cut, pick up some groceries, and press my uniforms. I know I have more things to do, I just can't remember right now.

I have to change the time setting on my blog... it reads 821amm feb 5. but for me it's 121am, feb 6. Anyhoo... I'm just rambling about crap that nobody cares about anyway, but it killed about 20 minutes of my night, so I'm happy. I doubt I'll post up on this thing for a while... as you can tell, my posts are rather lame, due to the extremely boring environment I'm in. So, until next time, take care.
