April 13'th 2009
I ship out on this day. So anyone wishing for my address contact me.
The more the merrier.
To prove myself, I must beat the biggest object in my path. Me.
I want to be a Marine.
Workout starts tonight. x60 situps, pushups, pull ups
It felt good. Having the drive felt even better.

Won't be very long
You will look for me
And I'll be gone" -Moby "One of these mornings"

So I got bored and this was funny, so I couldnt pass up the wow humor.
Improved Lay on Hands + *NEW*Glyph of Lay on Hands -- Reduces the cooldown of your Lay on Hands spell by 5 min.(Old: Increases the mana restored by your Lay on Hands spell by 20%) + Set bonus 4/9 from T3 redemption = every gcd a paladin is giving someone +50% armor and healing for the paladins max hp.
Thats 4min(talented) + 5min(glyph) + 12min(set bonus) = -21min of cd Lay on Hands =20min
SO
Take 1 paladin spec 60%prot/40% holy
Add 4/9 T3 (chest/ring/shoulder/leg ideal)
Spam accordingly
Im signing up under Logistics and reserves. I will do 12week boot, MOS and then back home for 6months of reserve duty followed by paperwork to go active duty.
No date set on boot camp. I will know this when I go to MEPS again at the beginning of March.
The One, the only one I want
I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good
I will move away from here
You wont be afraid of fear
No thought was put in to this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel
Pain [3x]
You Know your Right [3x]
I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Steaming soup against her mouth
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You wont be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel
Pain [5x]
Shits pilling up at work and eventually I think I will explode.
In other news, I bought FEAR2 last night
Holy shitzba! Freaking amazing. Once again Alma manages to make my heart race. Freaking creepy psycho stuff in the game. Its great. I was up till 3am last night playing in the dark with the sound blasting.
Id been in need of a good time killer like this. The story is great and better than watching movies/tv.
You get thrown right into hell out of the first load screen, its great!
As it stands Im denied. My Gunny says that theres still things I can to get by.
Ive done all the paper work short of signing my contract and readging the oath.
Thankfully if I didnt remember my ss by heart before this I will now.
Tuesday I arrived at the post around 10am and waited to fill some papers out. Went to lunch met the other guy going from the post and then after lunch we headed to MEPS in Lansing.
Arrived, signed in, and then went to take ASVAB. I get any job I want thankfully because of my score so that was a plus. The negative was that I waited from 4pm till 7:45pm to go to the hotel. Some post arrived with a kid at 5:30 so we had to wait for them to finish testing. He failed. So ha.
Once at the hotel me and the about 3 other marines, 2 air force, and 2 navy guys all hooked up and played some texas holdem in one of the rooms we had.
Next day it was up bright and early for the day. 4:45am wake up and clean up. By 6am we were at the MEPS station again and into testing. Us 8 Marines got pulled aside and did our dead pulls. Then we moved back and did the other stuff.
Paper work, blood work, urine sample, and then lots of waiting. Followed by moving a seat and waiting. Then a physical.
Then more waiting. Then more.
Then being told I have to go for medical history.
FUCKING HELL!
I was pissed. I still am.
One fucking god damn blemish and its set me back big time. It hurts.
I got back into GR around 4pm and helped the other guy who I was with push around his truck. He was selling the one he has and buying a new one today. The only problem was that his current one has a flywheel problem and needed to be pulled/pushed to throw it into first and get it started. Ice doesnt help that. Thankfully about 5 army guys saw us and helped out. So thank you to them.
Tomorrow I need to look into getting an appointment with my doctor and getting retested for this whole medical thing. I dont want this to fail me.
I want to be a Marine.
I want to be a Marine.
I want to be a gd Marine!
Anyway...
Friday night is xmas party for work and saturday is poker night. Some time saturday afternoon I would like to get out and see that "the day the world stood still" movie.
I go for my initial strength test and physical tomorrow.
They gave me the application/info stuff to fill out tonight I took a good hour to fill that shiz out.
If all goes will I will officially be a recruit of the Marines and in the DEP(delayed entry program) until approx april when I ship out for boot.
I will be going for combat engineering / logistics / infantry
As for my reasoning, I dont really havent had a good way to put it in words other than this: "I feel I have something I have to prove to myself. In doing so, I prove to others my worth."
employment history for 7yrs! ugh...I hate filling that stuff out
No plans for the weekend. No worries though, Im not looking to go out in the crappy roads. Driving this winter I feel more apprehensive. My car sucks in the winter end of story.
Work sucks.
Still wishing I could go back a few months on everything but whatever.
I got shackled into helping a neighbor move there desk this last weekend. Ya thanks mother...
She played the guilt trip on me about I should help them because one of them has cancer. Thats worse that me not wanting to help. Dont get me wrong Im not a complete ass, but unfortunatelly I think Im already kind enough elsewhere.
Moving there computer turned into backing up these peoples computer, having emails dictated to me to type out, and unmangling a big desk from the myriad of electronics wrapped into it. Computer, speakers, scanner, printer, fax machine, lamps, power cords, phone wire, network cable, power strips...etc.
It also wasnt a 20min ordeal like both my mother and these people made it out to be. THAT pissed me off most. Its now been 2 days. 3hrs on the sunday and 1hr yesterday. I expect another 1-2hrs setting that bullshit up again when they move it downstairs.
Im afraid of other peoples electronics setup's. I dont want to go near them for fear I burst into flames when I see how bad it is. I dont want to break them. I dont want to fix them. Why? because to each his/her own.
What I see fit to destroy is not what others will.
Playing guilt cards on me isnt a good set. Especially when its from family or work. Both end up needing to be a good nice person outwardly. I dont do that. I do it inwardly. Thus why I sulk outwardly.
Tonight is zombie fun I think. Cant decide if I will purchase Left 4 Dead tonight.
The workout is underway. Its the standard issue plan from the navy. Just something to keep after while going through the winter. Nothing special. Just plenty of running/swimming pushups, sittups, and pullups. For the moment Ive skipped the pullup's and gone with crunches. I dont exactly have a spot to do pullups without hurting something in the house.
I need to buy a new pair of running shoes. Both mine fell apart and I totally forgot about it.
Saturday is poker night. Woot. Hope to steal some money.
A lot of folks would say me doing this is stupid because they dont think Ill actually be going. Well...thanks for adding the grains of salt to reasons why I will go.
Like a true psycho I actually think I need someone yelling at me telling me what to do and when and how. I need the direction.
I lack the discipline.
Im not looking for it to be a damn day at the amusement park. Im looking for being in the damn USMC! I look forward to the 10mile runs with 40lbs or more strapped onto me. I look forward to being woke up at 6am by someone yelling at me. I look forward to being brough to my breaking point and getting past it. I look forward to being a Marine.
Bill time today. Sigh. I hate bills.
I should go socialize a bit more and like...attempt stuff...
