well another couple days has come and been destroyed.
by me.
lets see; events that took place:
visited the Haunted House and the crew...that was pretty cool. most of the same people are still there...but regaurdless the house itself isnt looking to good. they moved from the Campana warehouse to some store up for lease in St. Charles; a much smaller place....but all the rooms need to be finished, theres a couple that havent even been started. the electrical needs to be ran; a ton of minor projects and final touchups....
and opening night is only a week away.
hope they all pull through...
other than that, ive just been hanging out with friends and visiting people.
and of course causing mischief.....mwahaha....

so my dad and i came up with the plan to surprise my mum when she got home. so i hide in the storeroom in the basement, and dad asked her to get something. then when she opened the door and turned the light on i jumped out and scared here.
haha she just stood there wide eyed and mouth dropped haha it was pricless!
later i greeted kyle and liann, and most of the rest of my friends.
MB and Julio and Noe and i all went out to the White Sox game today; after all the surprising. that was pretty cool. Sox won, as they would ha.

tomarrow i rain my terror and chaos upon my sleepy little hometown...
...and eight days thereafter...

on another lighter note i bought six cd's the other day. needed a musical uplifting of metal and heavy rock.
i think thats the most cd's i have ever bought all at once...
since joining the Navy, i have bought a total of aboot 60 cd's from the beginning of this year in A school, 'till right at this moment.
its great.
there has got to be a disorder were you HAVE TO buy a cd or two every week....

got this email from my bud Mark aka MB from back home.
its VERY good:
It is the Soldier...
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves under the flag, and
Whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
-Charles M. Province

weekends come and go.
Friday and Saturday i stayed at a buddies place. twas nice to get off base for once.
Friday night we went cruising around down by the beach, met up with some of his biker friends and chilled with them, later went back to his friends house and...uh...drank "koolaid"....fun fun.
Saturday we were planning to go paintball. but we ended up getting up at noon, and by the time we recovered from our groginess and got all our gear together then realizing the closest field was three hours away, we figured out it would have been closed anyway. so again we cruised around. later watched some movies and whatnot.
then we both had to come back today because of duty. i wasnt happy aboot that.
but the first two days were well spent so i guess it made up for it.
next weekend though is the big one....

so yesterday i went to the movies cause i was bored. i bought my ticket and walked into the lobby aboot to go to my movie.
when who do i run into but none other than my bud Haggerton from A school!
i was like, HOLY SHIT. its been awhile since ive seen him, March was the last time we hung out.
then he says another bud of mine, Beach, from boot camp and A school, is here too!
i thought DAMN i picked a good day to come to the movies!
so we met up and talked for a bit. Haggerton is stationed onboard the USS WASP (LHD-1) which is homeported here in Norfolk. Beach is onboard the USS VICKSBURG (CG-69) which is homeported in Mayport, FL. and by chance the Vicksburg is moored right next to my ship and i didnt even know it. freakin weird. and yet another boot camp/A school buddy of mine is on the USS TRENTON (LPD-14) which is moored behind my ship on the other side! talk aboot coinsidence. the Wasp is a couple peirs down, but i can see it from my ship. pretty cool...
anyway after our movie, we walked back to our ships, shootin the shit and whatnot. talked aboot how they were both at A school until the summer, we compared eachothers ships, i told them aboot my surge (they havent been on any long deployments yet), talked aboot home, our ports, so on and so on.
it was really cool to finally see and talk to them. it made my day.
i am now a happier person.

by the way, the movie was 'The Exorcisom Of Emily Rose'. very good movie; very tense. definetly recommend it.

well, as we all know today is the 4th anniversary of 9/11.
its strange to think its been four years since those terrorist attacks. but like it always has been, America chugs on.
i think a lot of people have gotton over the grief, but theres always that bitter pain in the back of everyones memory. although we may have gotton over the pain, we will never forget what happened.
so look to the future, and learn from the past.

it just gets better.
actually no. for the past couple days the AC in the berthing has not been functioning. so theres NO air circulation down there. and since its a place where many people sleep, and dirty laundry sits, its hot, it smells; it just sucks overall.
BUT i found a solution. theres no AC in the berthing, but there is AC in my workcenter. very nice AC.
so i just sleep up there. right there on the floor in a corner. bring me pillow up and lie down and its almost like home.
well, AC wise...but its better than trying to catch my Zs in a hot, smelly, dirty ass berthing.
damn im a gunius.

damn.
so a lot of shiet has been goin down in Louisiana. New Orleans specifically.
its a huge pile of monkey shit down there.
looting.
shootings.
disease.
destruction.
i feel really bad for everyone who lived there. Ive personally been to New Orleans twice; one of my Aunt and Uncle's, and their daughter, live down there. it was really a very nice place, lots of culture and plenty to do; the neighborhoods were nice too. and in the blink of an eye it seems, all hell breaks loose.
the big talk: could the citizens of New Orleans, hell Louisiana, been better prepared for hurricane Katrina?
i think they were as prepared as any state could have been. Katrina was just too powerful, too big, and too unpredictable for anyone.
is the apocolypse upon us? no i think not. even though there were mass casulties and total destruction, New Orleans, and all other cities and towns that were hit will be rebuilt. it will never be the same, but life will go on.

my four days of "freedom" has started.
bored already.
so im surfing the web and thought id look up one of my favorite hobbies:
plastic car model building.
and i come across this great website that sells almost every kind of model set on the market by every manufacturer. i get to looking around and see some neato sets i havent seen in stores. so i buy a couple.
more to add to my collection.
they were pretty cheap too.
all in all, my now very eventless day has turned into a day of melo-happiness.
now i need to find something to keep me occupied for the rest of the weekend...
