What’s Been Happening with Me Thus Far, and The Future Looks Bright

Wow! What an interesting time the past couple of months were.  First off, I ended up getting sick again, around late September and early October (on my birthday of all times!)  Hopefully it’s the last real bad sickness I have for a very long time and hope the Army crud has fully escaped my body.  I was also supposed to start school in September, but the good folks that work in the federal government didn’t send out my award certificate on my GI Bill in time to sign up for classes.  By the time I received my letter, the semester was near mid-term and I had to wait until December to sign up for the spring semester.  Obviously, I wasn’t very happy about the situation.  I was looking forward to starting school and finish my degree in Accounting once and for all, but it was postponed until the fifteenth of this month.  I can’t wait for it.  Last month I met with a business advisor at my school to sign up for classes plus also got my VA packet complete and sent to the Veterans office on campus.  I will be heading back to the school before the fifteenth to get my books and a copy of my schedule, which I can probably get the schedule thru their website.  Overall, I’m happy I’ll be heading back to school and finally finish my degree once and for all, with everything paid for from the tuition to the books to even living expenses. 

Also, back in November, after much consideration and research, I decided to purchase a PS4.  It has become the first game console I have owned since having a Sega Genesis back in the nineties.  The reason why I bought it was because it seemed that computer games, which the exception of a few, were starting to go on the wayside and game consoles were getting much more sophisticated in what they can do.  I mean, I can get Netflix on it if I wanted to or any other subscription it seems, and I have a DVD player that I can watch some of my movies with on the television.  I have a couple games thus far, but I don’t know about getting any more, as being the console’s space is 1 TB and with five games in its total 500 GBs took already.   I wonder if it can use an external hard drive?    
My sports card collection is getting bigger and even more awesome by the day it seems.  In the last couple of months, I have been getting some very olde cards from the thirties, fifties, and the sixties.  I finally have a couple Mickey Mantle cards from when he was still playing, which has been a dream for me to obtain all of his cards from his playing days.  A good start, I should say, but many more to get so it’ll take some time for it to grow, I mean, card collecting really is a slow process that takes patience, if done right.  However, I am sad about a card shop that was only down the street from where I live closed down in late November.  The reason why was the owner got robbed by a couple of sorry pieces of shit drug addicts, with one of them having a pistol that hit the owner with upside the head.  This happened back in October, and when he told me about it I got so furious I wanted to come to his shop and post guard with my shotgun.  It was that time also he told me about closing the store, after being open for over twenty years.  He said he was going to just sell his inventory at home online through eBay, so I keep in small contact with him.  I still can’t believe how some people are, I mean, the gentleman is a Veteran going on the age of seventy, you don’t pistol-whip a man like that.  All I know is if I ever find out who robbed him, there going to regret ever thinking about stepping into his store. 

Procrastination seems to have also gotten the best of me in the past couple of months.  I’ve been wanting to start writing again in full force, but my output hasn’t been very much.  However, I have started up the blog I’ve promised all of you that I would, titled “Ass Kissers and Toxic Leaders”.  I have a couple posts so far and look out for more in the following year when I’m not busy with school, or with part-time work if I so choose to do.  Speaking of part-time work, last month I worked at the Sears store located in the town where I live.  It was only seasonal, but I did so well at it my boss told me if I wanted to stay after the holidays.  I told him I would love to but I have school starting in mid-January and my GI Bill will be covering not just my schooling, but my living expenses as well.  He was happy for me, but I feel he wasn’t thrilled I wasn’t staying because I ended up being one of his better workers.  Oh well, when I’m not in school I’ll just stop by and ask if they need any temporary help during that time, unless if the Sears here in town decides to shut down as it seems like a good portion of them are, and I know the one in the town I used to live at in Illinois is closing its doors.  Sad, really, but that’s another story in itself.  Another reason for my procrastination in writing is my gaming habit not just with my PS4, but on my computer.  I recently purchased Rome II: Total War that was on sale through Steam, along with some of the expansion parts.  It was the first time I saw a price drop on that in the entire time it’s been available so I advantage of it.  Very good game, as to how most of the Total War games are, although I don’t care much for the Warhammer series they recently got into the last couple years.  Also, I got a chance to come home for Christmas, the folks paid for my plane ticket and such, and I got to see my grandparents as well.  They’re getting up there in age, but managing.  My grandmother has dementia, and my grandfather has a hard time moving around.  I’m really not looking forward to that call from my parents that one of them has passed, that will not be a good day at all.  So, I ended up staying in Illinois for three days, and while I was there the Chicago area experienced its first huge snowfall in four years.  I was happy to see a White Christmas for the first time in years, but I wasn’t happy when the temperature dropped to single digits.  That’s what happens when you live in mostly high temperate climates for a few years in a row, you lose your tolerance of the cold.

Another issue I really need to discuss is the reappearance of the SJW cuck I went to Basic Training with.  This jackass doesn’t know when to shut the fuck up, honestly.  Yes, I’m talking about you, MSB, you sorry excuse of a human being.  Your last post saying you would like to see me commit suicide has got one of the most degrading and disgraceful things that could ever have come out of your sorry ass.  To think I actually was beginning to feel sorry for you on how the Army treated you, and how your demons seem to have taken control of you.  All you just did was blatantly show that I made a mistake of being your friend while in Basic, and I wish TRADOC had something of a brain to process your ass out of the Army instead of recycling you back in when you failed, even though you probably would’ve been one of those assholes who failed Basic Training but have a bunch of Army stickers on your vehicle and tell everyone you’re a Veteran.  Also, making a huge, big deal about going back to school on the taxpayer’s dime doesn’t phase me one bit, and do you want to know why it’s because I AM MEDICALLY RETIRED WITH SEVENTY PERCENT DISABILITY (which may well be increasing soon), I was presented with an American flag, and received Certificate of Appreciations from the Chief of Staff, the Sergeant Major of the Army, and from the President of the United States, not Obama but Trump, so suck on that thought for a while.  Also, I’m going back to school on the taxpayer’s dime as well, everything paid for, so I’m sorry that I don’t give a shit about you getting full benefits for school as well.  To think, your stupid ass trying to hide behind a false curtain of proclaiming to be a “Patriot” and a “Christian”, which you are neither of one.  Hell, even calling you those are an insult to those words.  After your comment on suicide, you just proved yourself to be a CINO (Christian In Name Only), and only follow the good book for your own personal gain.  Also, anyone that thinks you’re still a great person after what you said is just as pathetic as you are and extremely delusional from the truth about you.  I just wish another Katrina would come to your shores again and wash your pathetic ass into the gulf to never be heard or seen of till the end of time. 😡



Which obviously you could never do
