Great 08

So ya I know I just posted some other ramblings, these will be along a different line. I apologize for the ramble in the other post but after reading the other blog felt I had to say something. No disrespect Tracie.

Anyway so what the hell have I been up to you ask, lets see work, work work and more work. Yesterday I worked for 18 hours but did manage to see the Tide Roll all over Colorado which was awesome! ROLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!

So like holy hell its 2008 already and as always I have worked out my resolutions.
First, to workout like a madman (I have to get bigger faster and stronger for 08) TOP PRIORITY
Second, I will STOP dipping forever! no more of the bullshit It will happen!
Third, I will finish my associates degree.
Fourth, I will make E-6
Fifth, I will get my warfare pin that I am already working on.
Sixth, I will get my next dive qualification.
Seventh, I will invest my time and money into opportunities to better myself! (I made that 7th on purpose ya know cause like gambling you want it to be all 7's on that slot machine hahaha)
Eighth, To learn something new everyday of deployment, no matter how big or small it maybe.
Ninth, I will complete at least one of my short stories.

So there you have it my goals. Lets see I am already working on numbers:
(1) (I have holding a constant 180 lbs but I have dropped 5% body fat, just have to stay motivated in the cold ass weather).
(2) done and done.
(4) I study something everyday to help me get closer to my goal.
(5) I am in charge of 12 people who are responsible to me, to also get there pins so I would have to be a complete shit bag to not get mine!
(7) Being here has made me understand how valuable my time really is, working 16 hours a day, and trying to get in workouts, eating, showering, sleeping and training. You have to be pretty damn efficient at clock management.
(8) I have to keep my brain stimulated in some fashion, so I have started a whole bunch of menial little tasks everyday for everyone to participate in such as Song of the Day, where someone (usually me but sometimes others) writes down the first song that pops in there head in the morning and everyone who knows it has to sing it then name the band. Words of the day where I will open the dictionary to a random page and pick a word out that I do not know. Then we all learn it and the following morning we have to use the previous days word in a proper sentence. They may seem retarded to most people but its the little things that people enjoy each day that make all the bullshit seem less daunting.
(9) Ah yes my stories, they have been on the back burner for about 3 weeks now because I simply have not had time to work on them more. However I do want to finish one of the three that I have started, I will most likely be using the guidance of my 3 brothers to help in finishing these. (Thanks again for sending me that folder will help me a lot).

So anyway in all its gayness there it is. All the shit on my plate as of now. I love and miss everyone and keep on rocking out!
