i forgot. . .

I had something i was thinking of today that i wanted to blog about but cant for the life of me remember. . . No worries, it was prolly a lie anyways.

Yeah so today was my next to last observation at Kirby. Mixed feelings. I am just now getting comfortable with the kids and i will miss having kids to yell at, but on the flip side i will be able to work again, for a few weeks and earn some money. Today was cool though. We started a unit on Tennis and i really like tennis, but we only have one week and there are ALOT of skills and rules to cram into 2 days so we can have them play for 3 days. . .

Stopped by target on the way home and picked up the new Patton Oswalt and Nick Swardson cd's. GOOD STUFF. I also bought the new Super Mario Bros Wii game. It is soooo much fun, but fuckin stressful!

I am playing video games when i should be catching up on school work that i have put off, but if i have put it off this long, it can wait another couple weeks, right?

The house is pretty clean, and staying that way. I am pretty excited bout that....ahhhh yes now i remember!

So i have been helpin my dad organize his tool shop and found a tub of stuff i thought i had lost or thrown away, it was cool. Well in it was most all the letters and cards i recieved while in the Corps. I went thru it all and organized it so that it would fit in a smaller container. Well i got to reading some for certian people and man, i wonder if i didnt miss some oppertunities. I dont know and i am not saying that people were throwing themselves at me, but the language used, did i ignore it cuz i thought i had someone or didnt look at them in "that" way? I dont know. You think 15 and 16 yrs is too late to ask? I had letters from people i dont remember keeping in touch with, yet me must have because they were answering questions that i apparently asked them. I also look back on the Corps and remember good things for the most part, its a game thats all. But in some of the stuff i was really down. . . Makes me really wantto keep up with this blog, but maybe i should start a personal one, one only i read, who knows.

So i got "permission" to tell, and i told diane and Leon, but i still dont want to broadcast. i am still on the fence about her.

So everyone seems to like the new do and face do, lets see how long it lasts. I tell you what it was friggin cold thismorning and i wish i had my wooly pully face.

So yeah i guess that will do it for now. gotta git ready for my bullshit classes in the morning...

shaving day. . .

Yeah as soon as i am done with this i am goin to go shave. Not sure if i will leave a goat or stash, or even a tickler, but the bulk is coming off.

So the Marine Corps Birthday was good, for the most part. I HAD to go to class cuz i had 2 exams and a lab. I didnt wanna go, i woulda rather gone and golfed but i didnt have the pleasure. So the tests werent so bad, and the lab didnt take but an hour. I met James up at Outback Steak House and we ate some steak. I got a 20 oz T-Bone and he got a 16 oz Ribeye i think. They were awesome. We talked bout the Corps and whats goin on now. It was a good nite. I miss the Corps alot, but i dont miss babysitting and the deployments. I was thinking bout it, and i know i should think bout it more often than just veterans day and Marine Corps bday, but i really dont have it so bad. I am not deployed, i am not having to carry my rifle everywhere i go, not having to worry bout getting in a fire fight, none of that anymore. The things i am worring about are rediculas. Well i am starting from scratch with a new attitude, well trying anyways. I still want to say Happy 234th Birthday Marines, thank you all, Semper Fidelis.

Veterans day rocked! Best day i have had in a long time. It was a long day but great. I went to go see my cousin Natalie at her school and i was her show and tell for veterans day. She is a spittin image of her mom, and she is just so funny. We talked and she told me all bout trick or treating and how her school works. She is in a Spanish imersion (sp?) program. Right now 90% of her curriculum is in spanish, in Kinder! They start to scale it back, but Spanish instruction is mixed in from kinder thru 9th grade. It was really cool to see. She showed me her spot on the reading mat and her desk and then they showed me how they do motor skills practice. I really enjoyed it and wish i coulda stayed all day. After that i figued since i was over on the El paso side of town that i would go see MFC (my favorite cousin). I t was a good visit and got to catch up with her. Faye came in to get her hair cut so i got to talk to her and it was really nice seeing them somewhere other than once a year that the 4th of July. After visiting with the for a few hours i went and played golf with the John Mouton. Tang and i went and played at Willow Springs by the ATT Center. I really played well. I am trying to get a handicap establised so i am counting every shot and not taking muligans. I shot a 92. I was really please. My drives werent as straight as i woulda liked, but i didnt lose a single ball. My putting was spot on too. I didnt have a single 3 put. I am really amazed at how well i am playing since i had my clubs regriped. So after golf i figured i would go play some cards and round out the day with my poker friends. Sure nuff we had fun. I played the 530 game and got knocked out, but it gave me time to eat, and then played the 800 game. I got knocked outta that one too, but at least the company was good. Crystal showed up and we all had fun.

Needless to say it was a great couple days. I really enoyed it and see that i need to do that more. Get out and go have some fun. Lets see if i cant remember how.
