Random Picture For Today

...mainly because I don't have much else to do today. Things are about the same as always- same troubles, new day. Wake up, go job hunting, write some stuff in red (this is fun!) and then go for a run or something. And the evenings involve (usually) hanging out with T. and as of late, playing Silent Hill 4 obsessively. Actually, I liked the movie, too. The good news is, I can be a lot less picky in my choice of employers at this point, as I only need the job for a couple months before I ship out. On the 9th of May I'm slated to go to a big military function- lots of fun stuff, drills, explanation of military traditions, all that. It actually should be pretty interesting. There are about 12 of us in the Enfield platoon, most of us shipping out at the same time. The thing we're going to is statewide, though, which is cool, because I'll probably run into a couple people from the MEPS station that I was tested with, and see who's going where and when for training. I think I'm the only one from my platoon going into motor transport- there was a gal going in as an MP, another younger guy going into infantry, another for artillery, and a few others whose MOS's escape me at the moment. Well, now I know who to get chummy with- a friend in the MP could come in handy... Just kidding! Actually, she's a pretty decent person, and will probably make a great soldier. I was surprised to find people from all areas of CT- from Greenwich to Enfield, pretty much across the whole width of the state. But then again, I suppose I shouldn't be- the government takes care of its own, and lots of people are looking to join up and wait out the crappy economy.

In other news, tomorrow is Kung Fu night! Which is unfortunate, as there is a banquet scheduled for the same night that T. invited me to, however it looks like I'm stuck on that one, as I have to watch the kids that night. But we're going to watch kung fu movies and make stir fry. Sounds like a fun night to me! My kids love kung fu movies. A funny thing- Max is watching a lot of the same anime that I used to way back when- Dragonball Z was one of my favorites, although I haven't actually sat down and watched it in years- is it even still on the air? At any rate, hopefully writing this in red didn't give anyone a screaming headache. Off to glory!
