In an effort to get used to the general "swing of things" here, as the phrase is, um, phrased, I have decided to post something entirely different for no other reason than, evidently, I can.
I have now officially fallen into the "Pay attention to me!" way of things. Yay for the prick, I s'pose.
In any case, the best thing to do would be to
- Welcome me
- Start right off into a random discussion, or
- Ignore me for the enormous prick that I am.
Let the random events begin. Mayhap, I'll start off.
Angry, white guy powers activate! Form of: incoherent rant!
When I first arrived here - "here" being an Air Force Base in West Central Texas - I was probably first surprised by the humidity. My next surprise was that there are more Marine and Army guys here than Chair Force people. I would say that my third surprise was being put into push-up position on my first duty day here, but I've gotten used to the push-up. However, there is more than one way of punishing Privates for random events, my platoon's Drill Sergeants enjoy the front-back-go excercise, which is a rather cruel way of punishing people, and they prefer to do it on muddy ground, which makes things more difficult. One of my Drill Sergeants is relatively famous for having a rhythm, and it sucks
ass to be the recipient of it.
I have, after two and a half fuggin' months, finally been allowed access to my cell phone and laptop. I now have access to the outside world again. Holy
Shit it sucked not havin' anything but a phone call once a week to acces other sentient organism, those who lacked the ability to make you run for six fuggin' miles. And no, I'm not exaggeratin'. I am now sittin', therefore, upon an actual
comfortable seat, and listenin' to Rammstein and various other groups that I have been denied access to throughout Basic. The experience can almost be described as euphoric.
