I think this is more like the results my roomie's father sould expect to get.


How Emotional Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Well I waited up last night to see Santa Claus and watched some old classic Christmas cartoons, it was a blast. My roomie bought a Kimono yesterday and I helped her tie the different sash called an "Obie". I was suprised just how difficult the whole dressing up in a Kimono thing is, many many layers and all somewhat difficult without someone's help. My roomie was a real trooper and she actually accepted my assistance (I think she has started drinking or using crack, cause she has been nice to me for 6 weeks STRAIGHT!). When we finally got her dressed up, she was simply stunning and looked like she was actually Japanese instead of a Korean mix. Although I think the dead give away that she isn't Japanese is the fact she has normal teeth and a pretty smile that she doesn't try to hide away in shyness, heh heh. Well here is wishing all of you a very very Merry Christmas and I hope all your wishes and dreams come true. Byes

LOVE starts with a SMILE , grows with a KISS , and ends with a TEAR. DON'T cry over anyone who won't cry over you. Good FRIENDS are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. You can only go as far as you push. ACTIONS speak louder than words. The HARDEST thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else. DON'T let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff. LIFE'S SHORT. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it. A BEST FRIEND is like a four leaf clover, HARD TO FIND and LUCKY TO HAVE. Some people make the world SPECIAL just by being in it. BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us. When it HURTS to look back, and you're SCARED to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there. TRUE FRIENDSHIP "NEVER" ENDS. Friends are FOREVER. Good friends are like STARS You don't always see them, but you know they are ALWAYS THERE. DON'T frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry? Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them. Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end. Most people walk in and out of your life, but only FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart. Send this on to everyone special in your life, even the people who really make you MAD sometimes and to the people whose lives you want to be in!!! Remember, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds of happiness wasted.
AWESOME PRAYER:
May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. "I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

Which Sesame Street Muppet's Dark Secret Are You?

I'm sure my roomie would tend to agree with the results of this quiz, ^_^

Sorry I haven't post an entry in such a long time. I've been extra lazy as the winter slowly sets in around here. I got suddenly switched to dayshift with only a moment's notice a few days ago and my body is still wondering what's up until I adjust to the new work hours. The switch in shifts is a long gripe I'll explain another day. I did have a small bit of fun yesterday (my day off). Our unit hosted a Run/Shoot competition along with some other activities fostered to help boost morale prior to the approaching holidays. The competition consisted of several 3-person teams from all shifts and sections (about 15 teams in all) that would run a course (about 2 miles) then fire revolvers and rifles at a sequence of targets for a score along with the run time to make a final score with the other 2 members of the team against the final scores of the other teams. I knew I would totally suck at the run time, but I was sure my firing score would be really good. Firing weapons is one of my only real god given talents. I'm blessed in that activity and even though I'm not real competitive in the sport, I'm proud to know I have won all the competitions I have entered. I agreed to do the competition because some of my subordinates coaxed me into it, but I was really worried about my abilities to shoot given the fact I've never tested it following a 2 mile run in 25 degree weather. I really under estimated the effects of the running portion, the cold wind absolutely burned the back of my throat and lungs, plus I thought there would be a moment of rest at the end to at least catch my breath prior to the firing, but NO. The finish line was the firing range itself and as I approached they had people lined up like at a marathon handing off ear/eye protection and an official to escort each participant right to the firing line itself to immediately begin firing a targets. The official run time didn't stop until all targets were engaged and all bullets were fired. I was sucking air like no tomorrow and had more moisture running from my eyes and nose than ever (I'm sure I was a lovely sight). I wasn't at all pleased with my shooting considering it was difficult to simply see and breathe. My hands are usually very steady (guess my self recreation pays off for something, heh heh) but following that run I couldn't keep em steady on target at all. The only real beauty in it was everyone else was in the same situation with the same problems. Our unit also hosted a Chili Cook off too, so we all had to wait around for that event to end to find out who finally won the competition. They gave out a lot of awards for the chili cook off and the Run/Shoot competition and when it was announced that I won the Individual High Score and that contributed enormously to my 3-person team score, my TEAM WON!!!! yipppppeeee!!! It was an especially nice touch to be able to contribute towards some kind of "bragging rights" for my 2 now former subordinates as of last Wednesday. I know the win means far more to them than it will ever mean to me, it was a nice way to give them something. It's nice to know that even though I may be "OLD" in their eyes, I can still hold my own in something, heh heh. Although it's probably a good thing they are not around this morning to see me walk around all aching and stiff, groaning to myself "ohhhhhhh, I'm too old for this" lol lol. I did manage to chow down a few bowls of chili during the cook off and paid the heavy price for that last night too, probably a good thing I sleep alone, huh.. Well that's the big happenings around here, have a good weekend, byes.

I think I'm finally starting to feel my age a bit. I have so much to do and so few hours in the day for me to make it all happen. I remember way back when I used to work a full time job, then run off for college classes, then work an additional part-time job and still manage to find time to cooze some girls. Well it's sad for me to report those days are definitely long gone. Now days I have my hands completely full with just work and one Japanese language class. I wish I could report that I'm doing a lot better in my class or I'm at least keeping up with the rest of the students in class, but that's a BIG negative on both counts. I accidentally over slept today's class, which is practically a first for me following almost 140 College Semester hours and a degree under my belt. I don't recall EVER missing a class simply because I "Over Slept". *Hangs Head In Shame* I just seem to have run out of energy lately and I can't really explain why. We are planning to replace the carpet in our house, and though I had planned to get started on it tonight, I found every possible excuse to post pone it till this weekend. I may even break down and allow my roomie to use her magic to mysteriously "make it happen" even though I insisted that we do it together manually without the aid of kind of magic. It's a really good thing that I don't currently have a girlfriend or else I may even suffer the biggest disappointment of my entire lifetime, then I would know it's really time for euthanasia. Speaking of euthanasia, I've often wondered why celebrities that seemly have EVERYTHING wind up so depressed that they go and do something totally stupid like kill themselves. It's always remained a mystery to me probably because I've never really had what they seem to have at their fingertips. Possibly it's because I don't actually know any of them, and maybe their troubles run much deeper than what is known by the general public, who really knows. My roomie's younger sister is currently going thru a small bout of depression because things just don't seem to be going her way too much, at least in her own mind anyway. Now here is a girl that is highly intelligent, loaded with talent and drop dead gorgeous. To the common slob like myself I have to wonder, what in the HELL could make this girl feel soooo bummed out! I must admit, she has had a slight run of bad luck lately, her car that she fought desperately to get this summer had a fender-bender and now must be repaired, her job as the RA of her college dorm is more responsibility than she originally expected and she has to totally rely on her parents for financial support. That is probably enough to make just about anyone bummed out for a while, but I worry a little that it may be a bit more with her. I'm sure my ranting words won't make much difference in her world right now, but I still feel I MUST try for both our sakes. All the things that she is going thru right now is just training for when she is fully grown and out on her own and dealing with all the real big things the world can throw at her, which will be much greater in comparison when she eventually looks back on this time period. I look back on the troubles that I had 10 years ago and think I must have been such a wimp, cause now those things would be considered a blessing in comparison with the troubles I deal with now. Some how just saying that I come to realize that I can apply my own theory to my current situation with my language class. Although it seems tough and all I really want to do is quite and go home, I still manage to just barely hang in there, maybe by a thin tread at times. I may fail this class academically, but I will pass it where it really counts. I have learned a great deal and if I would just practice more and study a little bit harder, I may even pull out a decent score on the final exam. It may not be enough to totally save my grade, but not needing the credits for really anything other than self-satisfaction, it will still be an overall victory for me. After all, I took this class to get along a lot better in Japan anyway. So if I can practice a little of what I'm preaching maybe it will work out for both of us, so HANG IN THERE!!! If we both conquer these minor set backs then we WILL both emerge much stronger, knowledgeable people and there fore be much better equipped to handle even bigger problems latter on down the road. Hummmm, me thinks maybe I should have been a counselor or coach in life or anything else other than the hormone driven pain in the ass I am, huh...heh heh. Well I think I'm going to put my spare time to good use and go practice my Japanese letters, which my roomie has strategically placed as magnetic symbols on our refrigerator. Have a good week all, I'll be studying and laying carpet. Bout time I lay something, huh..^_^ Byes

Yes, it's a new look for my page, many thanks going out to my awsome roomie for putting it all together for me, DOMO!!!!! I discovered this picture on the cover of a manga while browsing in the local bookstore and I JUST had to have it for my page. Not sure why I found it so interesting, but I do like it, any ideas?? More to come, everyone have a good week, byes.
