1st Keg Stand and More

These past few weeks have been pretty interesting.  I had my first strip club experience.  We did it in the right fashion.  We suited up and hit up the bar next door.  Then we bounced back and forth between the two and goofed around at both.  Though the night ended awkwardly and we crashed at Jeff's house.  Nico passed out first with his shoes on, so of course I drew on him.  The following week I passed my Security + and celebrated Friday night by going out to a few bars and then back to Flo's apartment.  There I drank until 3 in the morning with those guys and Nico passed out at 9 with his shoes on.  As a result I drew on him again.  That Saturday (this past Saturday) was May's Halloween house party.  I didn't have anything to go as, so I grabbed my snowboard and snow-suited up for the party.  They had a keg and jello-shots that were attached to a doctor jacket.  Needless to say I got smashed.  By the end of the night I performed my first keg-stand and proved an A.D.D. asshole to many people.  Worth it.


Towards my future:  I submitted my certs to Kaplan.  CCNA knocked out two classes with six credits each.  Net + took out a five credit class.  I think Sec + should count towards something, but it doesn't.  A+ would take out another five credit class, but I doubt I'll get it.  At least Net+ and Sec+ are life certs.  I'm at 89/195 credits.  In one year I have taken care of almost half of my education.


Home:  I definitely miss people, but I don't want to go back to Michigan.  I feel like I kinda left that life behind me.


Living after the USMC: I am thinking about Seattle, Chicago, Baltimore, or out of country - Calgary.


One of the best lines a movie can relate to my life and how I've always handled myself: "I decided to never invest too much emotion in one thing. It's always a set-up to the pain of losing them." - Domino


Moving on:  No matter what I do, I just can't get over her.  When the memories of good times come back I try and remember the bad times too.  Then I think about what I'm doing now and how that's going to be so much more helpful to me soon.  It's been really helpful to have Evan and Rob there to keep me in the right place.


Relapse:  I came close to having a college moment flashback.  No matter what I could not get to studying for Security + during the week.  I kept getting distracted by my website, TeeVee shows, movies and Facebook.  I went to Evan and basically flipped out to him explaining that I couldn't concentrate and really needed some motivation.  He told me to grab a coffee, study for an hour, nap and repeat.  As I don't drink coffee I grabbed an energy drink.  It worked perfectly.


Poetry:  It may not be perfect, but whatever.  No clue what I'm going to title it either.

Jade, I know now, you’re problematic.

I realize that you are democratic,

Definitely insane and kind of spastic.

Jade I’m not sure if you’re demonic

But your inspiration is toxic.

I miss the times, though dramatic.

Where life wasn’t quite so erratic.

Relationships so fantastic

Are based on the tectonic

And should never be automatic.

So Jade, let’s be realistic,

You’re can’t be antagonistic.

So let’s change the characteristic.

Guide me to be narcissistic,

And push away the simplistic.
