I spent thanksgiving alone this year.  It was my third thanksgiving away from home and everyone I
know skipped town on me...what was I going to do, invite myself over to some aquaintence at work?  Not my style man.  So this four day weekend I've been sitting here in front this computer mostly, playing everquest, drinking beer,  the occasional cigarette, the prerequisite porn...same old story different day.  As I mentioned, Smith went home to Ohio, so I've been up late every night--went to sleep after ICQing with Jen at 0500 this morning...

Next year I go straight from New Years Holiday to PLDC...I kickstart the new millenium by learning how to be an effective Noncommissioned officer.  I kinda like the significance of that...even if it will a nasty, detail driven, cold month.  At the end of it however, in February, I will become an NCO--something that has been my goal since joing this military.  I will serve this country in such a position for 20 months...then migrate back to california, finish my teaching degree, settle down in some nice suburb of San Francisco, maybe find a girlfriend or even a wife, get that little house with the white picked fence, the four door sedan, have a kid or two...
Of course I will need to travel a bit more before this settling down with kids idea however...One nice aspect to being a teacher is that, unless it's a year round school, I'll have the summer to jaunt off to Europe, or to go on tour with whatever band it is at the time...but time will tell.

All in all, there really isn't anything going on right now...it's making journaling difficult--these are the kind of days that just kinda waft on by with nothing remarkable about them.  I'm saving almost every penny to pay for xmas.  Even still the trip is gonna gonna set me back a bit.  I'm back on track now but that's all fucked up when I get home from California.  *Sigh* easy come easy go.
