It is common nature for humans to become bored. It is apparent now. The individual will revisit the past and find those things and feelings held before are now anew and will wish to rekindle that fire, so I think. The fire will provide the necessary warmth but will also burn the very hands that touch it. It is a lesson only once learned. Such necessity and destruction.
Integrity and loyalty were noted to be one of my greatest strengths perhaps the job of a soldier is best suited for me, but from time to time I have my doubts as whether I can continue.
I have questions as to what and who to trust, questions that beg an answer because I cannot identify a way of knowing. I almost need a tums here or a punch in the kidney. It's one of those nights, I will need to wake up at 4am and make that drive to work.

Well I am finally placed on orders (since the 5th) and thus I am finally getting paid as a louie. It only took them two months to get everything straight with that and a total of four months with my regular unit to get me paid at all. Being a platoon leader for a group of combat medics ain't easy...even though I only have a handful of people there are so many issues to work out, not that I mind it but it is a full time job alone to ensure everything goes alright.
I've also been tasked out recently with another officer to be responsible for annual training for about 35 people....let's just say there is a shit load of work to be done here too due to improper planning of the higher uppers.
Soon I will be working my forty hours a week in Austin and on top of that an unknown amount of hours to ensure that training is properly planned for annual training and on top of that ensure that all the medics are MOSQ/properly certified and are getting what they need.
Damn I hope that things pan out.

"He got distracted by the buildings under demolition and now wanted to make up for lost time, a ridiculous expression if ever there was one, an absurd idiom with which we hope to disguise the harsh fact that no time once lost can ever be made up or recovered, as if we believed, contrary to this evident truth, that the time we thought forever lost might, after all, have decided to hang back and wait, with the patience of one who has all the time in the world, for us to notice is absence."
For the past few months I thought my time had been practically worthless...ugh.

So I haven't been able to obtain a job that is worthwhile even after getting a degree. As for the past couple of days I have been substitute teaching. The first day I sat with a bunch of kindergarten children...I was told by another teacher that it is necessary to be stern with the children. The second day I was with high school students. Sadly enough I was told the same thing by the principals secretary...to be stern with them. So when does the growing up happen? I found an extreme lack of integrity among 50% of the high school students, whom I must say weren't much better than kindergarten kiddos. Options for any sort of disciplinary action is very limited in the school system, all I had the power to do was write a note to the regular teacher or to use referral slips sparingly...but if it really got out of hand I could call the office. WHAT THE FUCK? It's not completely the student's fault though, the school system certainly fosters students to behave in that manner. I found that they have to take a lot of bullshit courses which are entirely unfair to the student and there are very lame rules (like every time a student enters the hallway during class time they are required to carry a bright safety vest), but this does not undermine the fact that a certain amount of respect should be given even to strangers. Eh. Eh. EEEEEEeh. I don't think I have the patience to stick with this sort of job for much longer. I'd rather scrub toilets.

There is a competitive nature in just about everyone even those you don't really think have one... and then there comes a moment in which you find that this competitive nature gives them justifiable reasons to make you feel inferior. Mostly it's not a good feeling especially if you are inquiring about the rules and scoring of a game just to understand. I'll shrug this off shortly (it was just unexpected), I did however enjoy most of the game because after all it was for fun. =)

I have been feeling lately that there is either plenty or not enough, but nothing in between.

I've been aching for a completely silent place where I can finally get some uninterrupted sleep. It would be nice to not hear someone dribble a basketball on the floor above me, to not hear the hum of automobiles, to not hear the kids who listen to nothing but bass, to not hear all the voices from a late night party, to not hear television or computers, or anything. Then again I've never been to a place completely devoid of sound...but at the moment it's a pleasant thought.
OUTFUCKINGSTANDING.

Apparently I have to throw a grenade, fire the M-16, lead a platoon, navigate through the woods, not drown, and skip rope for about a month.

I started a world religions class the other day and the professor stated we should not plagarize because if we do it's a religions class and we will burn in hell for it.
All my professors are fucking funny except the economics professor...but that was a given.
Check this out...Pat Robertson's stance on feminism:
described as a "socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

They are the drunkards the prostitutes the bums and the socially unacceptable that we would never associate with. When a person asks for a dime because he ran out of gas and his pregnant wife is in the car he automatically becomes the scourge of the earth. With the exception of ONE person, everyone that I know (including myself) would walk away, ignore, ridicule, or justify our “holier than thou” attitude towards “them”. Except ONE, who would gladly give them a high five, a pat on the back, engage in conversation, ignore the fact that they continuously just want money, and treat them as you and I would be treated. It is always done in the most sincere manner, not the phony used car salesman sincerity bullshit either. You know it isn’t bullshit too because when the conversation is said and done with there is nothing negative thrown out about that “unworthy” bum. It’s something you expect Mother Theresa to do because it is a goddamn rarity. Neato. To that ONE…all I have to say is you put me to shame and your not even trying. You are wonderful. Nobody taught you to act that way, you simply do, and you certainly break free of the norm.
