FREAKIN' HALLOWEEN!!!!!

the best holiday ever celebrated!
wish it could go on forever. everyday.


so today i had to do the make-up PRT. push-ups, sit-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. all graded. it sucked. it was cold out too. that didnt help. and i was dehydrated. that didnt help either. glad its over. until next year.

anyway, enjoy Halloween. cause its rad.


SCARE KIDS! TAKE CANDY! THROW FLAMING SMASHED PUMPKINS!!

DUTY. TODAY.

had a watch too. 8:00am to 12:00pm. topside rover. for all you civi's: i walk around the outside of the ship carrying a heavy m-14 rifle. fun. thrilling fun.
nothing exciting or unusual happened. not surprised.

but now the rest of the day is mine to own. sweet.

FREAKIN HALLOWEEN is tomarrow. the most kick-ass holiday ever created.

November 2 we head down to Florida for our pointless visit. joy.


..im going back to listening to Tenacious D...!

Boat Control update: finished the last problem. did excellent on it. passed the entire course with a 96.3%. not too bad for my first time there. now monday its back to work on the ship...

Disater Relief update: still the same. read an article in the paper the other day; it said us; the Nashville, the Wasp, and the Trenton went down to Florida for disaster relief. said we left last saturday. we all laughed. here we are, all of us, sitting here on standby in port, yet the paper says differently. goes to show how our news media keeps up on their stories.

last night me and a few buds went to see Saw 2.
holy shit.
it was freakin awesome! it was just as good as the first one. very well written and directed. and it had that twisted ending like the first Saw.
i highly, highly recommend watching it.
very bloddy too, i liked that.

now back to my life...

.RocK.

Boat Control update: tomarrow is the last day. we got through two problems today, the hardest ones, and passed both of them. the instructer said he was impressed, most ships fail one of the two. i guess we're gods now.

Disaster Relief update: moved to a 96-hour standby. chance of us going is even slimmer; not that it matters because we are going down to Jacksonville again for a week starting Nov. 2. not looking forward to it.

WHITE SOX won the world series yesterday! hell yes! its been 88 years since the last time they wona series; bout time for a come back. 1-0 was the final score against the Houston Astros. we scored in the last inning. freakin sweet. now the Cubs just need a comeback...


otherwise i have no plans for today. rest and relaxation in preperation for our final problem in school tomarrow... yay.


.RocK.

first day of Boat Control school.

sucked. boring. yet strangly entertaining...

came back to the ship. duty again.

sucked. boring. yet not strangly entertaining...

dont have a watch though thats nice. precious sleep tonight.


found out today Esham from Psychopathic Records has left the record label to persure future business with someone else. i dont really listen to him, but it still sucks he had to leave. maybe for the better, who knows.


overwise im bored and filling out pointless surveys and whatnot on Myspace.

tomarrow should bring another joyous day...


.RocK.

update on relief deployment: it has been downgraded to 48-hour standby.

basically means when and if the word is sent for us to go down to Florida, we have 48 hours to get ready and set sail.
so thats what we are doing, standing-by. and working our asses off in the mean time.
it looks like the whole thing might be called of though. very big chance it might.

tomarrow i start school; Boat Control school. that deals with all the AAV's, LCAC's, LCU's, and their operations; beach landings, attacks, all that, and our part in the whole thing. which is pretty much everything, we run the show. so im going to school for the next week to learn how to do all that. oh boy more fun training.


i need a vacation....

.RocK.

OCTOBER 19, 2005: a day to remember.

why?
it marked the 1 year anniversary of me joining the Navy.

damn its been a year already...time sure flies these days...

four more years left.


update on the relief deployment: looks like its a 99.5% chance were going. either tomarrow (saturday) or monday. or sunday. or right now. more updates to come when i have them.

.RocK.

great.

so this hurricane near Florida; wilma i believe, might interfere with this weekend.

i guess some poeple up high on the political ladder didnt like the "fact" that the Navy isnt doing enough in terms of providing help for natural disaster relief.
sooooo that means if this hurricane doesnt dwindle down, and it hits Florida with force, WE, the mighty Nashville, get to make an emergency deplyment to Florida to help with the releif.

its not official yet; this Friday is the set day to deploy.

oh boy. that means rough seas, lots of choas onboard, disgruntled sailors, and more fun problems to come up before and after this whle ordeal.




i cant wait.

.RocK.

duty today.

i was bored. so i turned on the tele. flipping through channels when i came acroos the Power Rangers.

amused, i started watching it. and damn is it way different from how i remember the show as a youngin. new looks, new characters, new toys; all of it.
boy i tell you kids these days are lucky they have all these bad ass shows to watch at their pleasure. some shows from my young era will never get old theyre classics, but TV shows these days seem much more cooler.

soiled brats.

another cool thing today: i got to skip out on the PRT. now i have three extra days to get my pushups, situps, and running into top shape before the test.
am i going to use that time to train?

hell no.
but im not worried about it anyway.


so thus i go back to being bored. and watching The Muppets.


.RocK.

yet another duty free weekend utterly wasted.

did work on someones audio system in their car. thats about the only fun thing i did.
mopped around the barracks complex.
slouched around in my room.
intensly listened to my music.
slurred speech to people back home.
relived the good old days in my head.

wished i was somewhere else doing something else being someone else, other than being here doing nothing like myslef wishing.

sigh

four more years.

.RocK.

heres what bordem brings; thank you myspace bulletins.

check it.

.RocK.

well, Fall is finally coming.

today was the first day it was COLD since ive been back from our cruise.

Fall is the best season; my favorite anyway.
not too cold, but not hot.
everything starting to die off and hibernate for the winter.
the colors of leaves on the trees
the burning of leaves from the trees.
jackets and hoodies are in style.

but what makes it the best is Thankgiving and of course, HALLOWEEN. (best holiday undoubtedly)

ahh yes, good old Fall. wish all year was like this...


.RocK.

duty today. all day. sucks.

there is some good though:
found out ICP is coming out with

Forgotten Freshness Vol. 4

on NOVEMBER 15, 2005.


its going to be a two disc set.

disc one features remixed songs by Mike E. Clark, never-before-heard songs from the jokers cards, extra skits, and The Wraith: Shangri-La and Hell's Pit outakes. freakin yes!

disc two is loaded with the Hallowicked 12-year Anniversary Compilation Disc, featuring every single ICP Halloween track ever created. damn!

i cant wait. i already got the first three and i love 'em all.

NOVEMBER 15 baby, is going to be a day of celebration...


.RocK.

last day of the big four day off was...long

woke up around noon. didnt do much from then on.

mid evening came and a couple buds called up and asked if i wanted to join them.
they were goin to some resturant. a very good one they said.
Cheddars is what it is called.

i agreed.

the guy i rode with didnt know the way so we followed.

wow.

what should have taken about an hours dive ended up being about five hours before we got there

freakin got lost half way there. one of them had to use the restroom, and we got turned around and did circles.
crazy stuff.
ended up in the ghettos and shit.

but we finally found it and ate and damn was it good.

we took the correct way back.



so that how my monday was spent.

now its "work" time.....which is more like "catch up on sleep" time for me....




BUT theres no PT today so im happy. i hate forced physical activities...

.RocK.

last day of the big four day weekend.

all in all it wasnt too bad.
had duty Thursday, so i had to be up bright and early Friday for turnover. wasnt happy aboot that.

otherwise the rest of the days were spent sleeping in, eating, chillin in my room; me and a few buddies went and terrorized the local mall one day, saw the movie Serenity, that was pretty good. me and a bud ordered a freakin huge ass pizza the other day; called a Cal'zilla, its 18" x 26". freakin lasted almost two whole days! damn good too.
and ya thats aboot it. nothing real exciting. relaxing mainly.

needed it too.

i was hoping to go home again for this weekend; my best friend Steve is up on leave from the Army and was in town. couldnt make it though.
dammit.

starting to rebuild my DVD and CD collection; the airlines cant do anything about what happened.
fuck 'em.

never fly American Airlines.

otherwise tomarrow starts a new work day...


joy.

.RocK.

our new captain was just commissioned.

rumors from other ships he has been on is that he is an awesome captian. likes liberty a lot.

GOOD.

our old captain liked sea time the most...

but anyway the ceremony was like two hours long....kindda boring too....and it was muggy outside....and we had to be in ceremony dress whites....and we were standing at parade rest most the time....and i was hungry....
but we have a new and better captain so its all good now.

celebration time.

oh wait, im on duty today....sucks...oh well at least i have a four day weekend.

let the festivities begin tomarrow...


.RocK.

i finally got my bags from the airport on tuesday. tuesday. two days after i got back to base.
wow.
so as i am unpacking, i realize my DVD case is missing.
well shit.
i know i packed it too.
i call my house in hopes i acidently left them there. i get my brother to look in my room.
not there.
i ask to put mum on the phone. she gets on and i tell her the situation. she says she will look for it, but if she doesnt call me back in half and hour she didnt find it.
half hour goes by.
no call.

i call my house back, and my mum says no luck.
dammit.
i start to wonder if my CD case was tampered with as well. so i open up my the case, and as im going through i find out i have a bunch of cd's missing as well.
son of a bitch.
someone stole all my DVD's (about 50 in total) and about 25 CD's.

now im furious.

so i call the baggage claim place and tell them what happened. they give me another number to call, so i call that number. they hear what i have to say, and respond by saying that unfortuetly they are not liable for loss or damage to anything electronic. but the guy said he would call the aiports and have them investigate, and to get back to him in three to four days.

unbelievable.

NOT LIABLE????? what the hell?? what kind of bagagge claim isnt liable for certain things in a persons bagagge?? so now i am at loss of about $1400 worth of DVD's and CD's????
$1400 gone in a snap. and theres nothing anyone can do..?

im in the freakin military!!! theres no way that no one can do anything about it!
!&*%$#@$?!$#%&

so i am still angry as hell, and in disbelief that some jerk-off-prick-jackass would do that.
i better get re-imbursed.



and you wonder why i hate people so much....

.RocK.

i need a car.






so give me money to buy one......

.RocK.

MONDAY.

so yesterday was the final day of my leave.
it was assome.
the 69 Customs crew came by and we all chilled at my place.

so my flight was schedualed for 6:00pm. i git there and check in and all and git to the gate, come to find out it has been delayed like two hours.
freakin a.
so i wait, it gits delayed another hour.
wtf.
then at like 9:00pm i am told the flight has been cancelled. weather problems.

so im sent to another flight to Norfolk, but when i get there im told its booked. so i am put on stand-by. in the process the plane is switched to a different gate. so i run to the new gate, and im still on stand-by
dammit im pissed now.

so to make this short, i finally am able to get on at the last second (after another hour-and-half delay). when i arrive at Norfolk, (at 2:30am) i find out my bags never left with me theyre still at O'hare. so i file a claim (which took two hours or so) and now i am waiting for the airport to call me so i can pick up my bags.

and now i am freakin tired; no sleep at all, and frustrated and not in a good mood overall...


i need my zippo...

.RocK.

so the past few days have been busy.

most of it was spent with friends just hangin out.

last night MB, Julio, Noe and me went to Ju Rin. freakin assome japanese resturant. it was cool because we got one of the tables where the cook prepares everything in front of you. our cook did some neato tricks while making the meals it was fun. and good. and expensive...

so afterwards we drove to R & S Liqures and got some drinks. then we went back to Julio and Noe's place and chilled and watched the Sox game and drank beers for a few hours. at one point Kyle and his two lady friends stopped by and chilled with us. it was fun, i got a little tipsy and MB was somewhat drunk twas assome we got pics and all.

so after that i left and went to chill with Gilbert and the crew at his place. but i was tired as shit so i didnt stay long and ended up goin home to bed.

then this morning Molly and me went out to breakfast and hung out for an hour or so afterwards. that was nice, weve been friends since we were both five years old.
later my dad and sis and steven and me went up to visit aunts and uncles and cousins that was fun too. showed pictures and shared stories.

came back, hung out with Gilbert and a couple other friends and now im home.

and going to bed....


tomarrow is the final day of reckoning....then its off to Norfolk again to continue my surge to world domination.
