3 days until home!!! It's soooo awesome!!
I'm also super nervous.
I wasn't all that nervous before. It happened yesterday. I'm gonna be meeting two friends for the first time ever. One on my homecoming day, and one a couple days later. The freaking out came yesterday. Well, last night. My friends are hanging out for the weekend. They're having a blast right now! I'm so happy for them, no doubt.
But I can't help but feel this anxiety about meeting them. I've been gone for 5 months. I've missed out on a lot here. Will I be as funny as I hope, or will I fail. I just don't know. And, will they really have a good time hanging out with me? I don't really have all that much planned, just hanging out. IDK, I just don't want to let them down, you know?
But homecoming day's not gonna be full of fun, like I hoped. For one, my boss sucks! scream
We are on the side of the pier by 10:00am. I'd say, from the crazy crowd, we wouldn't be able to leave until around noonish. BUT, we won't be able to leave the ship until around 1-2 in the afternoon. WHY?? Because our douchebag boss wants both plants shutdown before he lets ANYONE leave. That is total BS, but we can't do anything about it, which sucks a lot!
Oh, and the worst part? I don't have my whites! crying I was gonna wear them for a friend, but I don't even have them! I feel so terrible about that. And they were really looking forward to seeing me wear it too. I'm gonna make it up to them somehow, so I hope they aren't too upset about it.
But, like I said, only 3 days away. Despite all my worries, I really can't wait for it. It really will be awesome!
I am attempting to get over the nervousness, for sure. It's hard. But I will. And I'll definitely try to make this week an absolute blast!
Well, that's enough out of me, so everybody, enjoy the rest of your weekends! I'll talk to you all, and see some of you, later!
LOLcats, motivational posters, and Epic avis, oh my!!!
Tony

2 days away from home!!! ^^
Also, feeling GREAT!! I'm done with all my stupid nervousness! Kaput! No moar!!! I may start to, but I'm putting an end to it before it can begin!
My only problem left is that friend who's not really a friend. I'll still hold hope that someday, maybe, he'll be my friend again, but not anytime soon, for sure. I'll deal with it, but it still sucks.
BUT, I've had some good times! My other friends, who know who they are, are having a great time out in a busy city!
For one, in a sheer moment of what some would call being a nerd, I realized the address to my old high school was 1701 E. I was definitely like >.<
I also realize that I'm homesick as well. Can't really take care of that until thanksgiving, but oh well. On a cool note though, I did find this really awesome picture of my grandma, way back in the day. Even then, she was looking cool! lol
Good times are right ahead! With only 2 days left at sea, and the last time zone change happening tonight, I'm really having trouble waiting to get home. I just want to be there already! lol
But no worries. I just need to be patient. ^^
Had a test today, was stupid. I'm sure I passed, but I wouldn't be surprised they failed me because they needed people to fail. God, that test was so stupid too! they're supposed to go over the training from this month, but instead, they just get training from the last 3 months, and ask obscure questions from that. Oh well. If I fail, sucks for somebody.
Also, interestingly enough, they might send me to brig school afterall. For those who didn't know, I was put in for brig school, but was then taken off because I'm on drill team now. NOW, since I wouldn't be the only one on brig school and stuff, they decided to send me anyways. I think it'll be VERY cool! ^^
Well, That's pretty much all I have. I'll be on a little tonight, and then LATE tonight! Can't be helped, stupid watch getting in the way. But that's for another time.
I'll see you all later!! And be ready! the lulz will be here soon!!!
Until then!
Tony

December 24, 2009
It's been way too long since my last journal entry.
To say the least, it's been very eventful. And stressing! lol
Operation: Insomnia was a big success! We all had a blast, and I, for one, think it's warranting of a next year. The biggest problem was finances. If you can imagine, this cost a lot to get taken care of. And it just wasn't meant for one person to manage. I did my absolute best though, what with all the driving, and food, and drinks, and any other stuff that came up. It cost me a lot of money, and almost cost me my christmas, so next years, if it happens, will have to be planned almost immediately.
On a side note, Ken, you will get your money. From the way it looks, You probably won't get a payment on the first of the month, but that's out of my hands, and I can't do anything about that. But I will send a payment on the 15th. The only problem is figuring out a realistic way of getting you your money. But you WILL get it. You just have to be a little patient.
Now, it's about christmas time. Everybody's home, or with dear friends and such. For me, it's gonna be a light christmas over here. Not many gifts for the kids and such, and I have nothing under the tree for me. But I could care less about that. I made it here, and I got my siblings their gifts, and that's more than enough for me.
I'm on vacation, obviously, but work is already looking to be a complete hell when I go back. s**t broke while I was in school prior to me going on vacation, and, from talking to some people, it sounds as though the higher ups have stepped in and is causing s**t to happen, not in the good way. But it also sounds as though it won't affect me and my coworker as much, so it may very well be only something for the bosses to deal with. Which is always a good thing! lol
And, back last night, about 7 hours ago, I've started working out again, in my new quest to become a smexy piece of man-meat. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I know I can do it. I spent this first session with a running start, lasting a solid 2 and a half hours. I started with a 30 minute run. I then went on to 45 minutes of punching the s**t out of my punching bag. For the rest of the time, I used weights, ranging from dumbbells, to bench pressing, to leg lifts, and some squats. I pushed myself right to the brim, and then some. By the time I was done, I was already feeling sore, along with feeling extremely tired from it all. I feel good, despite the soreness, and I can't wait to see how well or not well I do tomorrow, when I push myself harder than I did yesterday. But not all is well. I haven't punched a punching bag in years, so this was definitely a lesson in pain. The end result of it all was some bloody knuckles. This pic, taken after the punching portion, was taken after my gloves came off, and all the blood was washed off.
Now, they just look pink in these pics (right on the knuckles; very noticeable on the left fist) but they did in fact bleed. And it's gonna make it harder for me to use the punching bag tomorrow. But, as they say, no pain no gain. so, I'm gonna gain a lot tomorrow! lol
And that's pretty much it for me atm. It's very late at night, or very early in the morning, depending on how you see it. But that's all I have for now. To everyone out there, enjoy the holidays, and be safe!
Until the next time!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Today has been a pretty good day. Woke up and spent the morning in bed, with everyone. Then, around 1-ish, we opened presents and ate our christmas dinner, which was a delicious roast, ham, biscuits, and vegetables. I definitely had my fill of meat today! As for presents. I didn't get much. I've received a hug from one of my best friends last sunday, which I'm very grateful for, and I got a pair of shoes. It wasn't much, but I find myself not complaining this year. And why should I? It was a good Christmas. ^^
After the dinner, I returned to finish commenting to everyone in the guild, which took me the better part of 19 hours. After that, I went into the usual for me atm.
Exercising. Today was day 3. Each day has been 3 hours or so. Today was a mile and a half run, followed by an hour and 10 minutes of punching on the punching bag. Followed by more weight lifting. The best part is I am making progress! I'm very happy for that! I was able to do more than yesterday, and, even better, I don't feel as tired as yesterday! That's really awesome to me!
Of course, with punching on a punching bag for 70 minutes, my knuckles have becomes really sore, and they bled real good today. The pic below shows some of the blood, as my boxing gloves absorbed most of the blood.
Besides that, I don't really have anything else to mention.
For everyone, regardless of what you believe in, I hope you all have enjoyed your holidays, and I wish you all well! ^^
Until next time!!!
