Today

I haven't written anything in quite a while. Quite frankly I've been kind of down here lately. I tend not to write a lot while that is going on, but I'm going to any way. Not a lot of things have changed since I've last posted. It does look like I will getting my military discharge in the next couple of months or so. I'm still mixed up about it. I do believe that I will miss doing the loadmaster gig. It was a neat job. I'm already missing the extra income. However it will be a nice relief not to have to worry about it. Also I didn't really fit in. Most of the guys where nice, but they where good ole' boy republicans, and I'm not. I need to do something fun this summer other than work and sleep late. My summer seems to be passing me by, and so far I haven't done a whole lot. Of course sleeping is fun, but you know what I mean. I keep meaning to go up to Petti Jean and take some pictures. The waterfall area is beautiful. It might be a neat trip to make someone go with me on, or it would be cool just to hike and think. Well that's about it for tonight. I believe I'll go hike around the neighborhood and try to get the blood pressure up.

Rainy Days

It's been quite rainy these last couple of days. Of course all of the plants around town have really been enjoying it. I'll have to mow again soon, but I kind of enjoy that. Well tonight Ben, Leah, Mandy, David and I had a halo 2 night. Ben brought over his xbox, and we linked them together. So we had 2 TV's going and a lot of mayhem. It was a lot of fun. Also I have this little foam pool toy arrow that has a rubber band built into it. So you can literally launch that baby at people. So we all ran through the house shooting each other with it. It was loads of fun. I try not to talk about work and bad customers a lot but I have a award winning idiot story from today. As you all know I work in the automotive section at Wal-Mart. A guy came into day and traded in a bad battery. Later in the day the same guy comes in absolutely furious. He states that he just traded his old battery in for a new one and the new one is bad as well. We tell him that we will go out to his car and test the batter and fix the mistake. So we go out there and look at his battery and arrive at his problem. The genius hadn't take off the protective plastic casing that protects all new battery terminals. So he had installed his battery with a great big plastic insulator between the battery and his car. We fixed it for him, and he just left. No apology, so "I'm and great big stupid hairy idiot, please forgive me for my lack of brain cell." He just got in his car and left. I tried to get management to sterilize the man for the sake of the rest of humanity, but if we did that they reasoned, who would be left for managerial type work?

Rainbows

This past week has been a good one. I made the Dean's list at school, which I have never done before. Also we where blessed with one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen in my life. Work is going all right, as good as work at wal-mart can go at any rate. I'm still really enjoying having two days off a week. Leah and I are thinking about trying to go up to Missouri at the end of this month. It would be fun to see Branson again and visit all of her relative in the region. Leah, Mandy, and I went to see my parents tonight. It was a really stormy night, but we made it all safe and sound. My parents are in the middle of some major remodeling. It looks great. They finished their bedroom and it looks marvelous. Well that's about it for tonight. I'm sleepy...good night.
