So the end of last week was pretty intense. I went to a retirement colorguard and when I came back I found out a friend of mine from work had just died in a motorcycle accident. I didn't know him that well, but I do feel bad. R.I.P. Chris Maurer.
On another work-related note, I am now on night security through June 15th. I really don't like it, but there's nothing I can do. My birthday is right around the corner and I can't wait. Unfortunately, I am working on that day. But I am off the whole weekend afterwards.

Things have been good this week. I have a few new friends and some that have come back to see me. I had Tex-Mex on Friday and it really reminded me of home. Oh how I miss the real Mexican food from Texas. I saw an interview with the President the other day. It's good to see he's changing his stance on some big issues. He's actually coming out from behind the mask of his presidency and seems to be showing his personal feelings on matters such as oil, Iraq, and the up coming presidential election. I don't believe I've ever truly not liked him as our president. Especially considering it's most likely his cabinet that has influenced his actions. And to those of you you have blamed him for alot of the bad politics, you probably don't even invest a moment of your time reading or watching the news enough to know what he actually does or what is going on. You're just a bunch of sheep who follow what the popular voice says. I'm worried about the future of this country. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get out of the Navy at the end of my original contract, just so I'm not somebody the people are pointing fingers at. Because by that time, I will most likely be one of the ones pointing a finger. I wanna go back to a normal, family-based life where I can do for just me and mine.

In an interesting turn of events, I have all of a sudden realized that I am not all here.

At the end of the week, I will look back and reflect. At that time I will say to myself, "This week has been just like every other." But it will not have been. Truth is no week is ever the same. It just seems so in my life because I never have anything better to do than the same old things, just in a different order. I am going to start new things this summer and hopefully I will look back and actually see things weren't the same.

My absence cannot be justified by merely by saying I've been working too hard or that my life is too busy. The pure and simple fact is that I have just been lazy. My life is quite the opposite. I need something to change for the better. Drastically. Summer is almost here and I'm almost 21. This is great! Finally I will be able to have a full nightlife! And even better than that......... I am now out of debt!!! So it's not gonna kill me to spend money! All I need to do now is to get out of the car I have and into something that doesn't break down all the time. That being said I am actually being a true adult and I'm not going to get a coupe. Instead, I'm going the route of the SUV or truck. Something that will last me a long time and serve multiple purposes. I'm going to be more open about what is going on in my life now and I will be writing more often. Wish me luck.
