I never really talk about much besides what Ive been up to.. Mostly part to because im always trying to catch up.. So much goes on so its hard to find an hour or 2 to write it all down.

The ROTC semester is over so thats kinda cool. I get some free time finally

My family is kinda seperating more and more because we all have our own lives.. We never do anything together.. I never see movies with my dad anymore, I never go to any games with him anymore.. I never go with my mom and Mike n emo on Mondays and Tuesdays because I was always busy on those days. And the free time I have im always with GoTS or the girlfriend. I dont know what to do.. Its like im losing my parents but im not. Its the only stressful or problem in my life

The greatest thing though would be Corrie.. My relationship with her is the best one ive had yet. I feel so down to earth with her, shes always herself and im always myself.. There is no tension or any kind of barrier between us. And best yet, NO DRAMA!!

I get to see her almost everyday.. Her parents love me and I love them, theyre great. I can just sit with either of her parents and talk to them about anything and everything. They care about me and help me with anything

Its not just Corrie which makes the relationship so good, its the fact that Im able to bond with her parents too which is what I always wanted in one.

Best of all.. I can stay close with Corrie and my friends. Since were all one big group and always see eachother.

I NEED A JOB~ I dont want a job but.. I NEED A JOB!
Im going to apply for Best Buy again, Office Depot, Office Max, Tiger Direct, Comp USA and a couple of other places.. Kinda see the theme there? lol

COLLEGE!

Post high school is awesome but I need to apply for FIU and UM lol. All that is kinda stressing me out a little but not much.. I think I like Miami Dade.. Its calm and nice. Having a small class is like being in high school but without the immature "gangsta's" which is awesome. I prefer that rather then getting lectured to and falling asleep.

The people here are nice and honest too.. I just forgot my book in my past class with no name in it and one of my classmates went around and found me just to give me my book.. Ive seen things like this everywhere here.. Its the way everyone should be and if everyone was.. The world would be a better place

I still dont know what im going to do for a major... Most likely computer science but I dont know.. Im having doubts but I dont know what else id do.

I dont know if I want to move... If i contract I can go to any other university with AFROTC.. Should I stay here or go somewhere else.. After I graduate ill be doing a lot of traveling with the Air Force.. Should I just enjoy my time at home while I can?

Im not even 100% sure about joining the Air Force.. I abosolutely LOVE ROTC.. Its a major part of my life and for the first time ever I feel like I completely belong somewhere. I like the fact how everyone is like family with eachother.. We teach and discipline eachother but we do it with the best intentions. I could trust any of them with anything and everything. But if I sign up. Thats the next 7 1/2 years of my life on contract.. But then again.. What else would I do after graduation? Work at some dead end job that I wont like? I like the thought of "serving my country" mostly because Ive always wanted to make a difference somehow. I wanted to leave high school with people going "yeah that josh guy was great, he did a lot for me". I dont know if thats true but I atleast hope it is and I want the same to go for when I work. Working for some company wont give me that feeling.

I have a lot of I dont knows that I have to figure out, but ive never really been good at that since im so indecisive :)

Xmas is coming soon.. I dont want anything.. Wait yes I do.. The LCD on my Camera broke.. Yeah good job josh YOU FGIN IDIOT... I ahve to send it to Casio for them to replace it.. Sigh
~ But besides that I have everything I need. I asked my dad for a Violin, Ive always wanted to play. I dont know what to get my dad or mom.. I have a few ideas but im not really sure

My dad is in the Bahamas right now for a week or something. I wanted to go with him but I have stupid finals n stuff so that sucks.

Tuesday (December 6th) - Mom and Mike

For the first time in a long time I actually went out somewhere with my mom and mike.. The closest thing to bonding with my mom ive had in a long time.. It was nice to see her smile

We went to brandsmart first to try and get my camera replaced but they were dicks.. Went to Macaroni Grill afterwards for dinner then gave Best Buy a visit. Afterwards we went ot mikes place whree I set up his sound system and everything else because he just bought a new HDTV which was pretty schweet.. Went home afterwards and slept

Wed (December 7th) - Corrie and Becca's Orchestra

I had my class and after that I gave Mel a visit for about an hour.. She was really happy to see me. She was one of the closest people to me and still is except things change. I steer away from any unneccessary drama which is mostly from the people still in SD.. But I still try to talk to Mel sometimes.. I dont really have time. Maybe ill give her little visits more often.

Afterwards I went home and took a nap..

Woke up, had lunch and drove to Corrie's house where I gave her a big surprise. She wasnt expecting me at all.. When I was pulling in I called her and gave the how was school talk then knocked on her door and her mom answered and was like "hey~!" *whisper* " does Corrie know your here?" I gave the no nod and she told me to go in her room. When I did Corrie was like !!! .. Lol that was funny and great

We spent a few hours together but I had to go for Becca's orchestra concert and Corrie had to babysit. So I went to Palmetto and spent 10-20 minutes looking for a damn parking spot.. There were so many people there because there were liek 2-3 different things going on at once.. It was crazy

But I finally found one and got my ticket for the concert and watched the orchestra.. I left a little bit early because I had my speech to work on.. I went to where Corrie was babysitting for a little.. Aww the kids were so cute. The girl Stephanie was 6 years old and Zack who was 9. Around 9PM Corrie tucked them in and read Stephanie some bedtime stories, I thought it was one of the sweetest and cutest things :)

I left a little later and gave Becca a visit to talk to her and tell her how she totally rocked my world that night on stage ^_^

I headed home afterwards and stayed up till 2 AM or so working on my speech and studying.

As for today.. Who knows

PS.. Who wants to make me a new layout =p Im too lazy and not 1337 enough with web design to do it on my own

Tuesday, December 06, 2005

I just took a test in math and finished it quickly.. So now im in the library.. Bored.. Tired.. and wanting to go home and sleep~

The past 5 days have been good.. Really good.. Considering they were fun and Corrie was with me every one of those days.

Thursday (December 1st) - BECCAS CRIB!! AND AEON FLUX~

Basically Cody, JAke and I went over to Beccas house with Corrie which started with a group nap



Then afterwards Cody and Jake were going all hardcore with my hardc0re jamz



We spent a couple hours there and left the girls because Sam, Oscar and Gigi came by to pick us up for.. ADVANCE SCREENING TO AEON FLUX WOOO!

Sooo we went to sunset because that was where it was




We got free posters and sam n oscar won aeon flux shirts. The movie WAS OKAY~ It felt rushed and unorganized but it was none the less entertaining I guess.. If your a sci fi geek

Afterwards we dropped off Gigi and had some FEWD at Dennys



^-- Isnt Cody so sexy

While we were eating there were teenage lesbian girls at another table.. We just kinda stared at them and eventually they walked outside. So when we were done eating and went outside to go in the car.. We just kinda stared at them and as we were driving by them Jake n Cody yelled out "Your beautiful lesbians!" Because yeah they were like the best looking lesbians weve seen! Mmm hawt

December 2nd (Friday) - DINNING OUT

Oh man what a day..

It started off with me getting ready and then heading to Corries.. She had school so when she got home she got ready really fast and when I got there Becca and Alyssa were over helping her get ready. She looked great ;)

And the first picture with me in my uniform! lol~




We then got dropped off at UM and went to the detatchment where Pyatok was there.. Introduced them to eachother and we just chilled for awhile waiting for others to come since we were suppost to car pool up there but nobody showed up yet. Soon Paz came with his date and were just like... wtfbbq? (<-- Stolen from alley.. HA!) We made some phone calls and apparently were all that were gonna callpool.. If Paz didnt show up we might of been stuck haha

So we went up there with Paz as our transportation.. But eh.. Traffic was BAD!! IT took us 2 hours to get to Ft. Laud. I had to pee the entire car ride too so asoon as we got to the place the first thing I did was take the PISS OF MY LIFE! DEAR GOD

The entire thing was great, I had a really good time and am glad I went.. Except I had the nastiest drink in the old from Gen. Flush *UGH*



The lovely beverage consisted of fruit juice, vinegar, beef broth, wasabi, sugar, hOT sauce, TUNA, and more

The purpose of the grog is to send ROTC cadets there for different reasons. .Everyone tried sending C/Pizarro because he always says stuff like "STOP SMOKING AND JOKING" and the classic "THATS JACKED UP" or the more personal one of "STOP JACKING THINGS UP"

So it was quite satisfying to see him there lol.. Minutes went by and different people were going to the grog and by the last minute I was like "YES IM SAFE!!" Then the wing commander was like "I have one more.. For any GMC who has called a female POC Sir or a Male POC Ma'am step to the grog" and yeah.. I did that.. So I was like SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT DAMNIT

There was a lot of us.. Thankfully my great wingman Toni was right beside me tho! OMFG That drink was horrible, I gagged drinking that thing and I was never the chugger so I had to drink it in swallows.

HORRIBLE

IT made me cry because it was so spicy haha
Afterwards we had guest speakers, dinner and other things. Good stuff

And then there was a raffle of toys n stuff, it was funny.. Toni got the coolest one, we were all jealous~



The event was a little over 2 hours or something.. Afterwards we got some pictures like.. ALPHA FLIGHT~



And C/Gordon and I



Gordon was great. He was deff. my biggest role model out of everyone. He joked when it was appropiate and worked hard when needed. Gave me input with everything and helped me a lot since I was completely new to ROTC. He was just a great leader.. When I grow up I wanna be just like Gordon!! Teehee~

Hes going to UF tho for the next semister.. It really sucks to have him gone.. Next semister is going to be wierd without him. Weird without Moody... We need more people, were really small.. JOIN AFRO TC! lol =p Theres only like 5-6 freshmen.. One I know is leaving and another might be leaving. Thats like.. not good.. Im not recruiting so I can get people to "cross into the blue" im recruiting so I dont feel so alone as a freshman :( lol

Afterwards we headed back to the detatchment and headed home from there

GREAT NIGHT!! I was really happy that Corrie came with me

Saturday (December 3rd) - Gathering~

Simply enough.. Sam, Oscar, Jake, Corrie, Alyssa, Jack, Jason and for a little bit.. Siobhan came over. We didnt do much besides just hang around

Sunday (December 4th) - Study @ Becca's!! Sorta

Jake, Oscar and I went to Corries house and chilled there with Becca.. Except Corrie, Becca and I had to do homework and study so Jake and Oscar just kinda layed there bored.. We moved to Becca's house because of ticks on the lamb carpet from the dogs running in the house lol~

At Becca's we did the same but we all kinda just gave up eventually. We then (except becca) went to the falls for alittle to say hi to Gigi and headed home afterwards.

Monday (December 5th) - Saxophone Quartet~

I needed to go to 2 concerts (not rock shows) for music class and my professor kept talking about this one so I decided to go.. Corrie and Jake went with me..

Man it was AWESOME!!

It was so cool going to something new like that.. It had sax's, fluts, drums, bass, piano and everything.. All played by UM Professors or graduates and they were amazing.

Id love to go to something like that again.

We talked for awhile and then out of nowehre suzie, zack and amber were like "josh go running with us!" and im just kinda like "omg are u serious?" So yeah.. we ran about 3 miles before thanksgiving dinner.. Nice huh lol

I was surprised.. Zack and Amber can RUN~ they kept up the entire time and Suzie for being how old she is can really run too.. It was awesome.. I wish I was with them all the time in jacksonville to run because A) Its nice there and B) running with family was great

Afterwards when we came back and had our showers, us sweaty people took our showers and prepared for the food

We were there to get the grandparents a new computer and I was there to choose what to get.. While I was there I got some gifts

We waited in line for the computer for THREE FRIGGIN POPPING HOURS! HOLY CRAP it sucked balls but we them an emachine for 400 that had a 64 3200 amd, 512 ram, x200 radeon and blah blah.. plus a 17 inch LCD.. not bad

Afterwards we went to staples because I wanted a few things like a thumbdrive for 10$, a 19 LCD for 200$ and a 200 gig HD for 40$.. They were sold out of them all.. that was gay.. Who goes to staples!! CMON

So we went back to best buy where I bough thtat stuff there for a couple more bux and I didnt haev to wait long because the lines died out a lot.

Went back home and took a nap.. Later that night went to the mall with my cousin and meh gma.. I was looking for Xmas gifts for ppl and my mom.. couldnt find crap for my mom.. I got Corrie a nice gift tho ^_^

Crappy day...
I didnt go to PT because I didnt miss any PT sessions so I decided to miss one. I heard it was a "fun" one too lol..

After school I went to the liscense place and got my liscense finally.. Took long enough huh~ Except it took like 3-4 hours of waiting to get the damn thing. It sucked so much.. It took my entire day!! GAY!! I had a crap load of homework and my mom wanted me to go out with her and see a movie n get dinner but I didnt have time.. Too much homework ~

Wed (November 30th) - Last day of ROTC!!

*sniff*

Last day of ROTC for this term~

It was pretty boring though lol.. We had parade practice so us unimportant people just stood in attention for a really long time.. My nose was itching a lot

Afterwards we all went in the detatchment and had our hugs and byes.. Because some people were leaving like Moody who got medically cut :( After I start to get really close to anohter cadet she goes POOF!! That really sucks~ If mah mentor Pyatok leaves ill cry in a corner and suck my thumb. Cuz she just rox that much box0rs

Hopped on a metro and bus and headed to the falls. There was no PT so we got out pretty early. I was at the falls a little before 4 and Corrie wouldnt be able to get there for awhile so I got a coffee at starbucks and worked on homework until she came. I had my uniform on still because I cant take it off till a certain time and if im caught without it on before then ill get in a lot of trouble so It was still on and all Corrie did was AWWWW.. BUT HA!@! NO PDA IN UNIFORM~ And I told her that and she demanded that I changed

We went to Fridays where I got changed and we ate.. I stole her fries.. They were yummy

Attempted shopping afterwards for my mom again.. No dice.. jeeze

Corrie got picked up a little after 7 becuase she had to get her dress for friday and when she left Jesse arrived. Jesse and I had a crepe and chilled n stuff. It was cool then afterwards we left to the tattoo parlor.. He got another tattoo ~ and I got to help him~! Yay! lol
