So it's been about a week since my last little installment, the first of MANY
little installments. Turns out this is going to be more work that I initially
thought. Bah I hate work, but to keep people coming to Nerdcore, I'm willing to
waste my time and energy (plus I've got ALOT of coffee to drink). Man I love
coffee. It's like God's gift to techies. If I had to option to I.V. the
caffeine or drink coffee continuously, I'd drink. It just tastes sooo good.
Enough about my coffee though. Onto stuff that's been bugging me for a while.
Now, I know guys can relate to this, I'm not all too sure about the girls point
of view, but I know men can relate with me. When you graduate high school, or a
just about to, like around April or so, you start getting calls from military
recruiters. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, they all would LOVE to schedule a
meeting with you and talk about how much money they can give you to go to
college and how important college is to your future. I'm so glad that they
could help me pay $1,100 a semester, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW I COULD FIND THAT MUCH
MONEY! Anyway, you get like 2 or 3 calls from each of these guys, they talk to
you either at your house or at their office, and tell you all the great things
that their branch can give you. Now, I'm very much a pacifist. I don't hurt
things, hell I don't even eat animals. Why would I enlist? Seriously? I'm
very much opposed to this war on terror. And GWB. No WAY am I going to enlist
right now, maybe after I get out of college with a degree so I can go in as an
officer. Hah, that's funny. Me, in charge of people. Anyway, like I was
saying, they call you in High School, and meet with you and tell you all these
great things. I always went along with it, thanked them, and was very glad that
they would start leaving me alone after I didn't enlist. Boy was that a
mistake. So far, SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, I've met with the army recruiter again (I
feel sorry for these guys, they try so hard) and I have another meeting with the
marine recuiter. Bob the Marine! You want a piece of me, Boy? [Starcraft
reference]. Hah that's pretty funny. Maybe after we dessimate the entire
middle east, or after there is a draft insituted, I'll serve my country. I
could at least use the cardio.
Until next week, this is Bob, saying get the hell off of my lawn.
