Today the weekender and I went to a Japanese place for lunch. It was pretty good. The yakisoba was almost just like in real Japan. After we got our lunch he noticed the waitress leaving the restaurant. He asked if it was her. I didn't get a good look so I just agreed. We sat there for a long time before realizing that maybe the ones that where left didn't know that we haden't paid. It became pretty obvious when they whispered at eachother about us. We went to the register a while after that and they where surprised when they spun the ticket wheel and ours was there. It was good fun. Guess we will have to make sure our waitresses let others know when they are leaving.Homies helpful survival tips: Black widows are not always black. I'm not talking about the males because they aren't, but the ones that are a grey, beige and black color. Those are striped and have rings across them. I didn't know it was one until it spun on its web and there was that almost red hour-glass on its underside.
Who would have thought seven years after I raised my hand to pledge my whatever to the military I would still be in. Not only still be in but really thinking about staying in and trying to make it a career?Not this guy, that's for damn sure.
That's right, August 25, 1999 me and my pony tail left the MEPS station in Indiana and made our way to Texas to start a career in th Air Force. The pony tail didn't survive the first week of training, poor thing. Three jobs, three bases, and two deployments later and I'm still around. It has been a pretty good seven years if you don't count the Air Force related stuff. What's Air Force related stuff? It's all the stupid stuff the Air Force comes up with, the way things are executed, and the everyday running of things. And we can't forget the "down sizing" in the middle of two wars, one if you use Republican math. There are a few good things, not having to stay in one place for too long, the traveling, and that phat pay. That's right, I said phat pay, as in too much. Those of you that don't agree are probably the one or two striper that's dumb enough to get married and have two or three kids thinking the military will pay you for them. Those of us that are NCOs and single, we think differently. Here in the next couple of months I have to decide if the money and "job security" (you can have a job until we don't need you) is good enough to out weigh all the stupid stuff. I don't know, there is a whole lot of stupid stuff though.
I ran out of starch the last time I ironed my uniform. I didn't see any at the commissary yesterday so I went to the BX today.I found the can of starch and grabbed it. In true Homie fashion I didn't look at the price. I knew it wasn't going to be over ten dollars, I don't like using a card for stuff less than that, so I looked for a movie. The movie I wanted wasn't in and I couldn't talk myself into a different one. I didn't find a CD to buy either. Oh well, I tried so I decided to just go and get the starch. When the lady rings it up, yeah. The starch cost 94 cents. I looked in my wallet but since I don't spend ones and don't normally cary them I didn't have any cash. Guess I shouldn't have cleaned that wallet out yesterday. Random thought: If I get alzheimers will I still be a dick or will I turn into a nice guy? Cause I don't want to be a nice guy.
I did it again. I went to a movie, alone. Then I went to dinner, alone. I have been wanting wings for a good couple of weeks so tonight I went to a place called Hooters. Turns out those are some good wings. I had some wings and beer. The waitress asked if I wanted more wings or dessert. I said nah, I'll do some real food. I went with a chicken strip sandwich and some fries. I was done with that and she asked if I wanted dessert. I said yeah, I'm going to have two of them I just have to decide which one to have first. She laughed like she didn't think it was going to happen. I asked for the first one. I finished that and she asked about the second one. I said sure, I'm ready for it. She asked where I put all of it and I told her about my hollow leg. She asked what I do to not be fat because I was getting up in years and my metablism can't be what it used to be. I said you're right, but it's not that slow yet. She asked if I ate like that all the time. I said oh no, not like I used to. I just can't decide which one I want more. After the second one she asked if I wanted more, I could have worked on more wings, but I told her that if I ate any more then I would just be showing off. She said you're right I'm impressed now. Why is it people seem to be impressed with how much people can eat? I mean, I'm not too big and maybe I don't look like I should be able to eat like I can, but people just seam amazed sometimes. We started talking about that Japanese guy that can eat all those hotdogs. I told her I can't quite eat like that. After I'm done with that one we start talking. She asks if Hooters was the first stop for the night. I said it's a stop. She asked if I was going to go home and take a nap before going out. I told her that I was for sure going to go home, the going out part, not so much. She asked if I go out much. I told her not around here. I told her that I havn't been out since I've gotten here. She asked how long I've been here. That's when I told her that I've been here damn near a year. I did tell her that I do go out when a guy I know comes into town. You guys know him as the weekender. She asked what kind of music I liked and I told her anything that isn't country. She asked if I like clubs. I told her that I don't mind them too much. She said that's good, she likes going out too quite a bit. She said it's bad because her husband isn't into hanging out at them. She said he needed a hobby so that he could find something he can do while she is out her friends. I mentioned the new Hold 'em bar in town if he's into cards. We get back onto the clubs that are in Macon. She told me about a place called Diese that is dance music. I do like dance I told her. She also mentioned another kind of club. She says it also has real good music. It's not a straight club though. I've heard of this club, I had a female I know try to talk me into going there once. She said that they probably wouldn't pounce on me there if I went in with other people. That's good to know. It's not too bad because Cynergy is in an area where walking outside with drinks is acceptable so if it's not the thing there are a couple others on that street. Diese isn't close enough to walk to though. I think we'd have to start out at Diese then. As I was getting ready to leave she said that I should call up there and see if she's working before I come up. Then she said that she does work next weekend and to call if I decide I want to go clubbing with her and her friends. I told her that I would. Going out seems like it could be fun. I guess I found a female to hang out with, just not a dinner and a movie girl.
