Alarm PINK — MOPP 100
Author: James
Blahh… another friggin’ Monday here at work. More reasons for me to love the miltary. Guess we have to be here for 12 hours today for no reason what-so-ever. But, that’s ok, I’ll just get time and a half… wait, I work extra but get nothing.
Another weekend is upon us. The year is creeping by. Northern Japans short summer is in our rear view mirrors as the we pass the welcome sign for winter. Icy temperatures are upon us as the lows are getting in the 30’s now. I’m not sure how we’re going to have fun trick-er-treating this year if it’s this cold. The kids will have to have jackets on covering up their costume. But that’s ok… I’m sure the kids will have fun just the same. We’re planning a cookout this halloween and are inviting some filipino friends from Hatch over.
I haven’t been writing in here as much as I want to lately. My mind has been clouded with lots of stuff that’s going on in my life and with the Military. I do not want to get into any detail until things come to a head. So much is going on… the Military has changed alot, and I’m not convinced it has changed for the good. Enough about that. I’m supposed to be going out this weekend… but we’ll see how I feel. I know since I have to be at work by 4 in the morning, I know I want to try to catch up on some sleep.
That’s enough for now… I’m at work, and I need to open excel or something to make it look like I’m working on something important. A putty window with nano and some colored code doesn’t look good when you’re a truck driver…
They say we learn something new everyday. I’m right at 32 years old (in a few weeks), and I have never — ever — had roller skate on. I have, however, tried ice skating before. Anyway… today I took the kids to Skate Night. My buddy Juan talked me into putting some skates on and giving it a shot. Neither of us could skate, so I reluctantly agreed and put some roller blades on. It took about 20 minutes to get from the counter to the place where you skate. Once in the “skating cage” I kept falling and well… to make a long story short… I’m not a skater, so I’m not going to skate. I did make several rounds before finally quitting.
But the kids had a blast!
Another Friday is here. It seems like time just cruises along at turbo speeds. It’s hard to believe that I have been living in
Speaking of history. Today is my oldest brother’s birthday. He was killed in a car accident Christmas of 1997. So today my thoughts are with him, and his family. I was stationed in

It’s Wednesday now… the week seems to be going by fast. The weather is staying cool, they hot days are over. It’s around 50 degrees in the morning. Maybe we’ll have a cold winter this year.
Today, we went out for a Sunday drive. When we left, we wasn’t really sure where we were going, started heading toward Tawada, then changed direction and ended up in Hatch. We went to the Pia Do Mall walked around had lunch, then on the way home we stopped by the Statue of Liberty.
Once we got on base, we stopped by this pond on base so John could get some willow leaves for a school project he’s working on.

I’m glad it’s Friday, getting up at 3 – 3:30 (depending on snooze factor) sucks, so I will be sleeping in the the morning. I have no plans whatsoever this weekend, so I’ll probably just sit around the house doing NOTHING. We do need to go get some groceries tho. It’s right at 6pm now, I’m I’m ready to go to bed already. I’ll probably just sit around for the rest of the night watching TV, if nothing is on, I’ll watch CSI DVDs.
More Later!
I updated, upgraded and changed around my photogallery. So, let me know what you think. I kind of like the theme I have on there now. It looks good, also I added a menu back to my main website on the top right.
