Restraining Order

Sweet Jesus.

Its been a long time since ive written in this, because way too much has been going on.

The last week of work has been a daze.  The kind of days where I find myself in the office until 1900 and im totally unphased because Ive been working on so much crap.  Everytime I seem to get a break it seems someone else is dropping work on my desk, and the projects vary in sizes from huge to small.  Its beautiful though because I find myself able to do everything I get.

I got my first evaluation report too and did really well, so Im pumped that my hard work is paying off.

Spent some weekends in Daegu and Pusan, and had a incredibly great time.  It seems that Ive discovered the joys of clubbing again and the real meaning of being single and having fun.  Its take 9 months but I think im finally completely over my ex, as I find myself unable to remember most of the things that used to really make me miss her.  I guess this is a good thing, because she turned out to be a really cruel and evil person.  Unfortunately

This whole diet and p90x thing has been going AMAZINGLY!  Im starting to get that sexy V shape back that i was getting at the end of BOLC II, and my arms are sexifying.  I do a jump program in the mornings (leg strength training) and have been noticing increased strength and dexterity in my legs.  Ive been doing p90X at night and have noticed some actual growth and toning since I started.  I still have a few months left in the program, and will post before and after pix of my disgusting fatbody once I have my much desired six.

My two is starting to poke out again so im happy.  SUmmer is starting and I have a few months of beach action available, so I need to keep working at it before I get that nasty nasty build ive been kicking my ass for.

On a final note,  Only 5 months until first lieutenant  ^^.  And only 3 months til my replacement gets here and I maybe get to get a new position!  Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I’m happy for the first time since Sep 1.  I think.

P90x and various things

There was a time when i first entered TRADOC that I was working out a lot, and eating relatively healthy. The good thing about being in the Army sometimes is that you dont have a lot of time to eat like crap. Unfortunately for me, Winter Exodus came and then I was sent to Aberdeen, and it all went downhill.

For years Ive been deciding I want to get in nasty good shape. Ive run two marathons, I work out frequently, etc etc. But for some reason I never quite attain that addonis, or gerardbutler look that IM hoping for. I think it has to do with the insane amount of unhealthy food and liquor that I consume. Anyways….

Ive decided to once and for all do something about it. Ive been borderline good shape for years now, and im going to finally give myself the little push.

When Im sitting here, thinking about TODAY, 90 days into the future seems really really distant. In reality, it isnt that bad. Ive already been in Korea for 2 months, that time flew by. If I started a healthy workout/exercise plan I would already be where I want to be. SO I guess what im saying is now I will start it, and see what happens. Gerard Butler, eat your fucking heart out.

And the good news is, I got a trip to Busan coming up in two months, so Im going to get my beach on.

Note: Ladies, please dont get too excited.

Intent: Monday-Fri I will run, do the jump program, and do P90X. I will also swim a lot. When my body feels like it needs rest, it will get rest. On the weekend I will make a sincere effort to drink less, and eat less shit. During the week, I will eat well.

Wish me luck, I will write a status update in 30 days.

Love,

-Mike

A good Weekend

Great weekend. Unfortunately it was spent doing things I shouldnt have been doing. Highlights:

-Being extremely dunnished and managing to go on a weird pseudo – date with this girl Ji-won. I told her she looked prettier when she didnt wear a headband, and she was confused, but I think really likes me. Note to self – never call her back. Never DATE an asian girl, EVER! Thanks, Christine.

-Baller hats and aviators?

- Going to bed at 9AM repeatedly

- Puppies! (video to follow!)

- Being a white dude in Korea is fun because you;re different. With my buddy Brandon, he is 6 foot 5 and black, so he steals it. which is fair.

- Some random group of korean girls who grabbed me at hte club and threw me into the middle of their circle and danced with me and were very loud and I was confused, but then had a GREAT time!

- Club G2 in General was awesome.

- Brandon puking was funny, but I didnt let him know at the time.

- Getting phone numbers of girls, even though I have no intention of dating them.

Oh life, you are so funny.

Im in love with the devil, who hasnt talked to me in months.

Im crazy about another girl who Im pretty sure I make feel uncomfortable, but she likes my music so I can not help it.

Ohhhh wowowowow. Seoul next weekend?

Rest in Peace

Struggling to keep my mind at ease lately.

So much to think about and deal with, I wish I could be a kid again so that my life wouldnt be nearly as complicated as it is.

back in the days when getting home from school so I could watch afterschool TV Shows was my main concern,

whether or not my mom would buy me the overpriced piece of plastic that I had been wanting so bad for weeks.

not the status of my soldiers, or whether or not the financial liability report would be in to my commander on time. Not the struggle to deal with the distance of my friends, or the love in my heart which wont seem to go away.

I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

A year ago today marked the beginning of the end for someone who was very very important to me. People say that its important to stop living in the past, but I cant help it. The past is what gives us the basis for appreciating the present.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

I know that they will not sing to me.

Godamn you half-japanese girls

do it to me everytime

SOmething today about MAJ Cousins referring to a large burrito as a small child, and talking about how hes going to eat a baby….

so then i thought about this:

i had a PT test today, did okay – ran faster than all the soldiers, cause I had to set a good example : I hate officers who slack and dont try.

Hib wants me to go play pball in Seoul, think I will do it.

I am thinking about going to Hong Kong in May, but unsure :

need to visit Angie in Beijing
Danno in Hong Kong
Kevin and Andy and Janet in TW
Kyla in Japan
Must go to Australia
Want to go to Singapore for a weekend.

so much to do…. so much

oh and Danielle may visit soon which will be coolio too

SO MUCH SO MUCH

yay

Thoughts

My soldiers are good soldiers , except for one of them, who makes my life a living hell…..

I work hard, and my boss doesnt see it. All the other people do though, so I guess its good.

They liked it when I went in the tear gas chamber, I didnt.

KATUSAs (Korean soldiers augmenting the US Forces) are goofy, but generally good kids.

I’m tired of Korean girls calling me a playboy…..I dont think I am one anymore, if I ever became one since September, which arguably I may have been at times, but the term playboy sounds SO stupid. So what if I get a couple different numbers and date a few girls at the same time, once I find one that I like enough its different… oh shit…. just kidding im not that stupid word.

I miss my friends from Arlington, but like it here.

Getting drunk and wandering the streets of Daegu can be hazardous.

I work too hard, and spend too much time accidentally falling asleep when off duty…. Must enjoy life more instead of work all the time.

My fingers are hurting from the guitar callousingnessishessity. My arm hurts from the smallpox. My hip kind of hurts from the bone marrow.

Im glad the bone marrow woman is alive, but im frustrated she hasnt written me a letter back yet – hope she is good.

Disappointed that the emo girl from my past didnt turn out to be who I thought she was.

Im annoyed by the frequent amount of texts and calls I get from Korean advertising agencies.

Mike Swigert constantly tells me he wants to be inside me. If he can find a non-gay way to do this, I dont mind. ( okay thats a joke)

I miss Jeff, and talking to him when driving back to Aberdeen.

I miss Aberdeen.

I miss my little Layla Bum. I miss my little Layla Bum. I miss her. I miss that fucking dog so much.

My secretary makes me laugh because she is SO damn goofy, and i feel uncomfortable that her and my boss’s secretary chat about the varying degrees of cuteness my haircuts provide.

I need to get better at baseball.

Swimming is a great way to get in shape.

Hillary Clinton is a bitch.

Im tired of waking up early every day, and going to bed late.

I wish I could go to Asylum with my friends on weekends, and hang out with that black dude whos name i forget, but has REALY REALLY puffy hands.

I want to hear Mike Berger say “shalacked”

I miss Stephie, in general.

I miss all my friends.

I’m excite for CPT Chi’s upcoming baby.

I miss senior year.

I miss some aspects of TRADOC

I should have proposed in August.

Im in love with a girl who died in September, and every day wish life had gone differently for both of us so we could be together.

Karma is supposed to pay dividends, but Ive yet to see a single cent. Being a good guy is supposed to pay off, and the douchefags out there arent supposed to succeed.

Anyone who has a soul-stache should be drawn and quartered.

I want to adopt after the future ex-mrs. Lane and I have our first kid.

I still regret September so much.

BYAAAAAAAH!

Howard Dean, BYAAH!

Classic.

Im teaching myself guitar, btw.

oh no

slowly starting to lose touch with everything.

Help.

Taste my soul

Tired Boy!

Wowowowo sooooo tired, ran this morning a good distance, and then I did some pushups and all that crap.

Am taking Lipo 6 Supplement, it makes my heart beat a little faster, but its all good

Last night ate a crapload of SoKalbi ( i guess thats what its called, BEEF RIBS!!!!! MACHISOYO!

At the moment I’m trying to convince my brother to move here……

Korean culture is actually pretty rad. Here is an example :

Oh well, my girlfriends in these videos all do a SPLENDID Job.

Current people tracking on possibly coming to visit me : Mike Berger?, Pat, Mike S?, Alex?, Laura? -, Danielle – yay , Kyla??? MAYBE?? *shruggers*

Im starting to love it here.
