Hey guys, long time no whore. havn't been here in months, I promise I didn't forget about you! Just been busy.

Well an update.

Was gonna go to highschool and finish my Senior, but decided to not and go full-time at my job at Taco Time. Yea, a fast food joint, but I do good, great environment, just got a raise and it's hella fun.

Next up is the big thing. Got my GED, and enlisted in the Army National Guard. Went to my first once a month weekend drill two days after I enlisted. Did my PT test and passed. At least 16 push ups in a minute, and at least 18 sit-ups in a minute. Got 35 push-ups and 22 sit-ups. Then had to do a mile run in 8 min 30 seconds. Finished in 8:29, it was close :P

Pretty good for how out of shape I am, first time really working my self as hard as I could. I'm going Calvary Scouts. Garunteed 2 years to stay in the states after I finish basic to go to school. I leave for basic January 15th, get back May 16th. Gonna go to college, get a tech or engineering degree, then ship off where ever my unit goes after the 2 years. Then I'll be active Army for 6 after the 2 years.

Get a 20k Sign-on bonus, 800+ a month for the 2 years after basic, and just 200 at least now for every drill.

One of my close friends is also Cav scouts, in regular Army, and he just shipped off to Iraq a few days ago.

Other then the army shit, I'v been workin' my ass off, playing Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3, and just beat Assassins Creed. Love that game.

How's everyone else? :o

Hey xmodum,

Good to hear from you man. I'm glad you're doing the Army Reserves. It seems to be a great program, you get military work, and they help your education as well.

Glad you're back, hope to see you around more.

Omg! A month untill basic! I'm bored, I want it to come already.

Well yea, I almost broke my ankle airsofting, running down a hill that was nearly straight down, took a wrong step and had to catch myself, gained momentum and one step landed on a rock, POP! Hurt like hell, friend came down the hill with a bottle of Red Rum and threw it into my hands, chugged untill the pain stopped lmao.

Yet another drill passed, hit 30 pushups and 25 sit-ups this time. Couldn't run cause my Sgt's don't want me running on the ankle yet, don't want to hurt it worse so close to basic. Beat my Drill Sergeant in Halo 3, it was him and Kim, my ex-gf, vs me and her mom, got 43 kills myself in 50 kill slayer.........suprised he didn't smoke me :P

How's everyone again\?

Sup xmo, sucks about your ankle dude. Good to hear you're doin' alright otherwise tho.

I've not been in EVE much, been playing WoW with my gf. Yeah I know, I know, but my girl is pretty damn cute and she loves playing WoW, so I'm trying to convert her over to other video games. We'll see if I can pull it off!

Yea my girlfriend is in Florida, she's moving here to Idaho in a couple days, right after Xmas, sucks though cause 2 weeks after that I gotta leave for BCT.

Oh well, I can get as much conversion to nerdism as I can before I leave. Gonna get her to learn Guitar Hero, Warcraft III, Halo 3, Assassins Creed, and Rock band :P Gonna take some work..........*sigh*
