Last Post

Well looks like this will be my last post here blogger. No offense but Im just not the blogging type and with the semester almost over I will be erasing this soon enough. But just for kicks Ill talk about the last two weeks. Thanksgiving break was fun. Im not sure if i had to o a blog that week because I didnt so it will totally suck if i did. I know people like to say that ate way too much on thankgiving but i totally did. First off i had dinner at my girlfriends house which was super good. Then two days later her parents took us out as an early christmas present to the TransSiberian Orchestra. Totally Awesome by the way. And after that ther took us to Fogo De Chao, a Brazilian steakhouse super nice. They walk around with slabs of meat and  its all you can eat. Hell yea that was good. Then the next day i had Thanksgiving dinner with the family and that was just always good. I believe i gained a few pounds so ive been working or extra hard this week to slim back down and continue training. In any case other than getting a 96 on my art history test last night thats been my past two weeks. See you later blogger

Mustang

Well today is kind of a drag. Little background on this past weekend. I left my car at my girlfriends house and we took hers to catch a movie. While we were gone a girl hit my car that was parked on the side of the road. It didnt look too damaged but my dad still didnt want me to drive it back to our house. The back driverside bumper is damaged and the mechanism that holds up the muffler is broken. Well i just talked to my mom who got in contact with the insurance agency and was told that we have two options. One being scrap the car and theyll give me around 2200 dollars or keep the car and theyll give me 1800. Right now i guess they are just trying to decide if the car is even worth it and get me a new one. Which would be fine and all but ive had the mustang since i was 16 sentimental value and all. I mean it doesnt even look to be that bad for the damages to be 18oo dollars. oh well i suppose my mom is going to contact our family mechanic and see if hell do it for less but i shouldnt hold my breath.

My weekend

Well once again Im a little late in updating but better late than never right. This weekend was pretty god i have to say. I went out and got Call of Duty Black OPs on friday and pretty much just hung out with my girlfriend and buddy, billy, all weekend. One thing that i was really excited about is that on Black Ops you can play online with a friend on your account. Makes it pretty fun when you have your friend next to you so you can joke around and such. But yea im looking forward to the weekend already

My Weekend

Well its seems to me that it is just getting harder and harder to remember to update this page but hopefully Ill get some partial credit for doing it. My weekend was "EH" this week. Nothing really special happened with me and the lady but I did get to hang out with a good friend of mine a lot. That and Im working for my gf's dad on a property he had bought. Its his sixth house and it only cost him 18 grand to by. And to be honest it isnt that bad of a house. Nice little one. But this week I was suppose to clean and paint but never got around to doing it because the water wasnt turned on nor was the heat in the house making it impossible to paint and with no water theres no cleaning. So since i couldnt do that i just went and cleaned the gutters and went home. That coupled with i didnt get all my homework done leaves me with a feeling that this weekend was unproductive. I call a do-over for this weekend. Maybe this time around ill remember to update you on time.

Just Another Weekend

Well another week has gone by just a couple more months to go for the end of the semester and I feel like there is many things to do.

Im finding it harder and harder to remember to do these posts but if im wanting to get on the deans list this semester I need to step up my game. That being said I need to focus more on my math class which i have a C in. What a drag.

I finally got my new futon it. My dad sister and my nephew came over today from indy to bring it up. Ive got to say its pretty nice. After i got back from eating at scotties with them i laid down and was out. Sooo comfortable. Also finally got to see the season premier of Dexter, I almost forgot how epic the last season ended.

Well now i have to start my paper for ed psych

Best. Weekend. Ever.

Well I know that this is a little late, but I wanted to actually be able to write about my weekend instead of just imagining about how awesome it was going to be.

To start my weekend off, i was able to get home from school a lot earlier than usual due to my last two classes being cancelled. Which is awesome. And when I got home I passed my Ed Psych test which makes me feel really good.

Next reason why my weekend was the best ever was because my girlfriend, Stephanie, and I went down to holiday world for the day. Just me and her. Which is always really nice just to be the two of us. We rode all the roller coasters, had some awesome food, and really good ice cream. Overall, Saturday was super fun and after the long drive home, we went to her house where I was able to spend the night, ending the most awesomeness saturday of the best weekend ever.

That brings us to today. Waking up to my girlfriend was awesome but we split for a couple hours so that we could get ready for the Colts game. Not only were the seats freaking awesome (row 14), but it was such a epic game. Really exciting and all. Finally after we won, we went to B Dubs for dinner and to wait out the traffic. Then we drove back home and took a sweet nap. Like I said, best weekend ever.

A New Start

I have to say going to basic training was a real turn around for me as a person. Not to say that I was not a disciplined or respectful guy but I was beginning to get a little heavy if you know what I mean. I lived a pretty sedentary lifestyle for a long time and was gradually going up in pants size every year. About this time last year I believe that I wore a 36 in pants and weighed about 190 lbs. Dang. And by the time i got back from basic training I had lost over 30 pounds. But what Im most happy about is that Im keeping off the pounds too. I work out nearly every day running and lifting except on the occasional lazy day. I find it amazing how much more fit i have become. Like last year I tried to start working out by running. My girlfriend suggested running a quarter of a mile and walking a quarter four times until I had ran a mile and walked a mile. And I could barely do that! Now Im running upwards of two miles a day and lifting weights. I just really like where Im at now with my health. And I really owe it to the army for whipping me into shape.

My Mistake

So this year I decided to try and get the luck of the draw and get a random roommate, you know just to shake things up. Big mistake. I'm pared up with this kid, Jonathan, and hes a senior here at Ball State and is in his last semester. Well Im finding out just why Jonathan has a new roommate every year.

Where do I start off. Well Jonathan seems to very set in his ways and not very flexible when it comes to change. Like it took me about a week to convince him that the way the room was set up was completely ridiculous and was centered around him. As roommates we need to work together to make it a comfortable place as possible for the two of us. He just came up with one excuse after another for the room to stay the way it is. But I finally got him to agree and the room looks great. Also he eats like a freaking animal. Like i think Im pretty easy to live with but this just bothers me like none other. We had better manners and habits at basic and we had 2 minutes to eat all of our food. For God's sake just close your damn mouth.

Finally what bothers me most is how protective he is of his tv time. Like all he watches are sitcoms that only ppl like my mother and thats pretty sad and sports center. And to stop me from like using the tv he like hides his remote thinking Im just too ignorant to realize theres buttons on the tv itself. And what takes the cake is that last night at like midnight i was watching the tv for like the first time in awhile and he comes back in from taking a shower come over to where Im sitting takes the remote turns off the tv and says to me "Im going to bed" and walks away. What a giant douche. Oh and hes complaining to ppl that I make him miss his shows. I really dont care all too much. Things are gonna change because Im not about to let him control the room.

First Real Blog

Well bare with me while I try to open up on the internet for you guys. I suppose whats really been on my mind the past few weeks is the whole readjusting back into civilian life here. As for those who dont know I just came back from basic training at Fort Benning Georgia. While I was there I got to do some pretty cool stuff like I shot a weapon for the first time. I really know now why there are so many gun fanatics out there. I mean although Im far from that I enjoy the recoil of my M4 back on base. To be truthful I really miss lugging the thing around everywhere. I miss the feeling of its cold barrel when you first picked it up in the early morning for formation. And even though it was a pain to clean I miss the smell of the CLP and how shiny I could get it. "Like New" I always thought even though I knew full well hundreds of other trainees had cleaned the very same rifle. I remember every detail about that thing from muzzle to the butt stock. Serial number 2582000. Listen to me sounding like some kind of nut. I guess the thing I miss most about it was the safety it brought with it. I carried it everywhere I went for 9 grueling weeks and it was taken from me just like that. It was pounded in my head for so long that you are never an arms length from you weapon to being hundreds of mile away. And on top of that I feel vulnerable almost alone without the guys from third platoon around. They always had my back and I theirs but now we are all spread across the nation. Just another thing I have to get used to now i guess. I suppose it will just take me some more time to adjust here than I thought.
