ok, im not sure where to begin, but so many things have changed in my relatively boring and meaningless life.. here goes:

i got fired from my pizza place job, i still have no idea for what.
no need to ellaborate further on that.

i found a job though a temp service making billboards for a company called MetroMedia technologies, and it was a good job too, relatively easy, paying 8$/hr as a temp (10$/hr if you got hired in). and one day i came home from work, my mom told me that the army recuriter called and was asking for me, and she said that he said he can get my juvie reccord overlooked (unlike the slacker marines who i guess literally only want the best of the best, of the best, ..those idiots!) so the next week, i go in and talk to him, tell him that i am over weight, and i've been losing weight, he said it wasn't much of an issue, and that im good to go into the army if i want to. i told him i'd kill to.

verdict is: im going into the army.
the MOS im most likely to chose is something do to with medicine, or something medical related. sure i want to know how to blow shit up, but there really isn't much of a market for that in civilian life, now is there?

so lately, i've been running my ass off, starving the rest of my ass off, and working out doing PT every other day with the recruiters in my town.
and two days ago, i took the ASVAB, and passed my first try, and got a good enough score (49) to get nearly any job i want.
im kinda ashamed about the score, i could've done better, but i didn't study, and its been a while since i've been out of school, so hey, what can ya expect, right?

up until recently it seemed like nothing in my life was working out, and that nothing made sense. but now that im able to get into the army, and i actually have some motivation, so many things are turning up to the bright side for me. its like night & day now. im so excited! i could be going to basic training ("boot camp") as early as a week or so. or as late as it takes me to lose 2" from my waist. (thats all i have to lose, ..~2% body fat).

i just hope that i get in soon eough, because if i don't, i'll end up spending my birthday in basic. and well, since this is my 21st birthday, i don't exactly want that. ;x

just thought i'd give an update to those who actually read this boring shit about my boring life.
peace!
