Lego Master Builder.  I thought about doing that once... I got a ton of freakin Legos.  Not really sure what happened to the idea, but...

I'm kinda looking into game development myself, it seems there's a possibility of a possibility that I could go to DigiPen for school...  <.<  Current college now sucks though.  :/

Speaking of all the car stuff... thank god I don't have my previous car now... that would have been hell with all the ice and snow we had recently.  1984 Buick Park Avenue + snow/ice = holy fux sliiiiiiiide.  That thing handled like a tank.  Probably could have been one too, all it needed was a turret.  Now I have a little 1996 Honda Accord LX... half the engine I had before, and that thing is FUN to drift in the snow, even with it being front-wheel drive.  E-Brakes rule.  xD

For me, 2007 was a heartbreaking piece of crap! First my grandfather dies in May, then in the summer my uncle dies.  :nervous::hehe::( With both of them dying in the same year, I don't know how I made it without entering a state of eternal depression. To think I don't have an uncle or a grandfather anymore.  :( :( :(

Let me see... I left the states on November 4th 2007, I didnt had the chance to see my familly before deploying cause my passport expired, I didnt had the chance to see my girl either, and Im now typing a post in this site with an Arab keyboard in a base in Kuwuait, holding my rifle in my lap with warming layers under my uniform (its freezing in the Middle East in this time of year) with news that Iran wants to play the "I-bet-I-can-sink-your-ship" game the day after I just got off the USS Tarawa! I have guard at 1500 to 1700 on our howitzers (Im a cannoneer/artilleryman) and I'm surrounded by US Army, Airforce, and British personnel. On this month's training we have to fire over 800 rounds in 3-4 days and in our non-lethal training we will bet fireballed (we just stand there in groups of 4 while someone throws a molotov bomb at us and sets us on fire... dont worry, we have flame retardant underwear... no really!... cant be worse than the day i got IC sprayed-a spray far worse than pepper spray- or the day a CH-47 Hellicopter was droped on a deep pool... with me and 7 other Marines inside as part of our water survivavility training!) And the day to go home is still far away! And all I can say is... Ooh-Ra Marine Corps!!! in a very sarcastic way... well, mix between good and bad.

Have a good one gents!

I'll see ya all around... God willing.

God speed Rebel_Gunman! Nice to hear from you again.

Anyway School is not so bad right now for me.. keeping up the work and yadda yadda yadda... damn projects... But I can still get through. I have finally picked a major that I am going to like, Graphic Design and Digital Media, It would suit me for now.. since I am in a Advance Graphic Design class in High school and holding an A through the semester.. though I know its not going to be the same in college than in high school thats for sure. Getting tired of being lectured by my parents, what a pain, but I know they are trying to help me.. just really getting in the way more than helping. Life is looking up for me but now I really have a problem I need to pursue... money... since I have to pay for my own college.. gotta get financial aid fast... Well at least I have a major in college to pursue, though I still can't get over the fear of driving yet... *pitiful I know* Just earlier another student died in a car crash today, thats the 5th that this school year.. kinda adds to my fear... heh well hopefully in the near future I will get over it.

Anyway how is everybody today since Ive been kinda off for awhile?

Well, today is not like I planned at all. I left my lunch money at home, but I'm gonna pay the cafeteria back on Monday. I was hoping for gym this period, we'd go cross country skiing, but there wasn't enough snow. Instead, we ended up playing a game called Hostage, which really pi@#ed me off and got me really worked up because the teacher mentioned the word terrorists. Why did it get me so angry? Because nowadays the word terrorist is starting to sound like a racist name for Arab people! I hate racist things! Then some stupid kid (I'm not gonna say his name) kept making the sound Arab terrorists make just to pi@# me off even further. People kept telling me the game wasn't being like the war in Afghanistan, but I still didn't wanna play!! The only way I participated today was by being in the same area as the rest of the class!! I couldn't shake such anger, and stayed with me until after lunch!! It was even worse when the kids I share locker space with said that there aren't any white terrorists, and I said "You're all racist!! You're white trash!!". Then I stormed for my 2nd period class, Dramatic Arts. I was looking so forward to it, but I was too angry to work! I would have told my Drama teacher about the problem, but he wouldn't listen!! Said I was interrupting the class, so I stormed out and went to the office!! Son of a bi@#$!!!  :) I'm getting myself angrier right now!!! At least the principal was there for me. I told him what happened, then we went to the Resource room, where I usually have lunch. There, I told another teach what happened. That's what I was doing before I logged back on about a couple hours ago. Now I'm depressed, and still pretty angry. Today feels like I hate just about everybody at school. It's awful.

Hmm....that post really struck a chord for me, ArwingCommander.

I say this because once I felt the same way about my class.

When I was a lad of 12, I moved to New York. It was difficult, mostly because I did not like my classmates. After three years, I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to leave my school. I felt as though my classmates disliked me and were always making fun of me- and I was partially correct. But something really strange happened in the summer between 8th grade and freshman year. We grew up.

OK, maybe that was a bit heavyhanded. But in a way, it was true. People got a bit more sure of themselves and acted more friendly towards each other. I decided to stop seeing things so rigidly and open up to my classmates more. And my freshman year turned out to be my best year in all of my school years. It would be a lie to say that there are no jerks in my class. But there are fewer and fewer every year. I would say that right now there are about...four in my whole grade. There used to be so much more than that, but they're now at other schools or have matured since middle school. There's no real bullying at my school: people don't get threatened or have rumors spread around about them (at least not as much as before). In short, we are very happy as a grade.

So don't lose hope, ArwingCommander. Things will change.

You are somplaining about what? Racism to arabic people? or the Al queda. I hate them with the passion of a thousand las vegas ho's. Why? Well, i saw the video of them decapitating an american reporter. I wanted every single one of them straight up dead. I don't care how it's done. They don't deserve a painless death. But a nuke would do just fine. But we cant do that because innocent people live there too. So in the case of terrorism, our leaders got their hands full.

But seriously, you got NOTHING to cry about. Try having somalian refugee's filling ur hallways at school, all of which don't speak english well.

I just got back from my first Show Choir competition of the season at about 3:00 A.M. last night, but we came back victorious, my group was grand champion of our division, and our varsity group made finals, got the people's choice award, and placed 4th in the finals, WOOT!!

I didn't mean Al Queda, I just meant Arabs in general. They face the most discrimination out of anybody, even more than Texans. I try to learn tolerance, but with all these things happening, and the Canadian soldiers getting killed in Afghanistan, it's never gonna happen to me. Puff, I feel the same way you do, but we can't blame entire ethnic groups for our problems. Hitler tried that, so they blew his a@# straight to he@# where he belongs.

I may make prejudice remarks about certain types of people, but that's only to be a joke, but I even offend myself that way.

I could go on and on when it comes to Al-Qaeda, but I don't want to. BTW, Puff, I hear different languages just walking down the street(every single day, mind you)- and I love it. I've never been one of those "Speak English" types...they bother me.  :ok:

Anyway, the next three days will not be fun. I will be taking a school trip to the Catskills with a bunch of other schools in addition to my own. Apparently we are supposed to bond, but what will happen instead is a lot of foot-shuffling and "uuhhhhmmmm"s due to the presence of the opposite sex. So yeah, on Saturday I'll let you know if I survived in any way...not likely.  :D

Hi everyone again. How's everybody doin'!

Remember me always sayin' "If i dont post within a year, then somethin' has happened due to my profession (US Marine) and current location (Middle East)"? well, now's for real. we've been tasked with a mission that like any other, it cannot be mentioned openly. well, gotta go pack. we leave within 24 hours. maybe its a bad time to mention that I have misplaced my gas mask... no, seriously!!! maybe I left it on the ship! in my other seabag.

See ya all, according to command, we should be back by march 1st from Afr#$@@$@# to Kuwait and the back to the states before may 31st. but nothing is certain... just look at BlackHawk Down!!! Perfect example that with the smallest incident, the whole plane turns to toilet paper!

well, see ya'll later... hope.

Holy crap. I hope he comes back.

Anyway on to my business.

My group didn't do as well at the last show choir competition, my group got second in our division, and our varsity group got fourth in theirs. I got another show choir competition this weekend, but its the one we host so we won't be competing and we don't have to go anywhere. But once again, I'm going to miss the SF-O chat.
