I had a wave of defeat was over me when I heard that Leon Washington broke his leg, not only that but Kris Jenkins is also out for the season. Top it off with Sanchez throwing like crap and I'm feeling pretty bad about the Jets chances this year.
Phew, okay, I got that out.
San Angelo is a WEIRD place. Now I'm realizing what it's like not having a city around, and I DO NOT LIKE IT.
I already knew I was a city boy, when I went camping this summer and had completely forgotten how to pitch a tent. Took me an hour in pitch blackness to get that sucker up, and we still had 4 poles left over which their purpose is still unknown.
I'll be in New York from Dec 18th-Jan 2nd. Planning on at least making one trip to the city with Kelly, who lives in Philly and loves it there. This will be my first time partying it up in the city. If I could go back in time and beat the shit out of my past self I would.(He wouldn't stand a chance, that punk)
Really want to see a Rangers game as well, so you guys have to let me know if you're down.
Glad I got to take care of all the shit I wanted to do in Cali before I had to leave. I very well may be moving back there after I get out of the military, if I get out anyway, I might really like the job.
Job is really fun, but chinese is completely different when it's all military terms, I feel like it's a different language. Give me a news broadcast and I'll translate the shit out of it, just not these god damn broken comms. |

Down in Texas now, already missing Monterey.
I'm trying to keep an open mind about this place, but it is so far removed, from any place I've ever been before. I used to think that long island was a dull little suburbia in the shadow of a big city, NOOOOOO
LI really wasn't that bad of a place, it just didn't compare to the city, or DC, or Myrtle beach, or pretty much ANYWHERE on the west coast.
This is like a different world. Pedestrians don't exist, you won't find a crosswalk or a sidewalk anywhere out here. They're downtown is pretty much exactly like the rest of the city(town) but with a park.
At 8:30 pm I walked for 5 miles to downtown and didn't see a single other person on the street. Only saw a handful of businesses, and almost all of those were closed already. I saw about 2 resturaunts/bars that were open on the walk, and both of them only had about 3 cars outside. I saw 2 gas stations, both had only one pump, and they both were closed. Even when I got downtown, I finally ran into my first, (and last) pedestrians, who directed me to the only place still serving food at this time.(about 9:30)
The base seemed just as dead. I can't figure out what people do here on the weekends. I think I'm going to take this as an oppourtunity to just save a ton of money and kick some bad habits.
So with that said, finally going to kick the smoking habit for good, and cut back on the drinking. Start heading to gym again as well. With my bonus pay I'll probably start pocketing around 1,400 a month. So at least some good will come of this. |

Firefly is one of the most amazing shows ever.
My first real friend left for another base yesterday. It was really weird because I probably will never see him again. So now our little group is minus one member.
Class is back to stressful, but thats a good thing, because I've been slacking something fierce.
I have another chunk of friends that will probably leave while I'm back home for class break.
more later, have to pick up my friend |

So
If in the off chance that I decide to stay in the military, I have on hell of a job lined up.
Fuck linguist, I'm going nuke.
Work on nuclear reactors all day, thats my job, I'm considered in a different command, I'm allowed to grow my beard out if I want, and I get special pay and faster promotion.
Not to mention I'll be a nuke with a language under my belt, and god damn what a story that'll be, what a job for cocktail parties. Although I'll be too busy being the man for those.
Needless to say, I've had a few right now.
So in other news, Jessie and I have somewhat touched bases. I'm going to throw this around for everyone to absorb, but Jessie is one of my all time favorite people. From the 9th grade all the way till now, Jessie has been one of those friends I've never stopped enjoying hanging out with.
Granted, a few years can make or break someoen at the tender age of early 20's, however, I really hope to hang out with her in the near future.
Speaking of which, I have travel plans.
23 of May, Is San Fran. I'm coming to see you Court, whether you like it or not, don't worry, we're getting a hotel.
Memorial Day Weekend: My friends and I are going to "Burbank California" or LA, whichever you chose. Good time already. Just the car ride will be fun.
6th of June, I'm coming back home for a week. I hope to see as many people as possible.
I can't wait. |

My roomate is not my best friend on this base, we're not even really friends. When we see each other on the weekends, we're friendly and hang out, but we never make plans to head on down with people or anything.
We've been roomates for 7 months now, we make a point not to bother each other and be courteous when the other is going to sleep and such. All that good stuff.
Neither of us are even in the room all that much, which is great because when you want to be left alone you know you don't have to worry about the room being occupied.
So in short, while he may not have been my best friend, he's been a great roomate. I even tell other people that I have a fantastic roomate, because we respect each others space.
And then.....
He rats me out for missing a formation, out of the blue.
I'm not even that angry, I'm just shocked. It's something so silly and he could have just come to me if he had a problem with it. Not to mention he missed a formation just the very same day.
I am more hurt than anything, in a profound way. I feel like I've just been backstabbed by a good friend. |

I have this terrible feeling the eagles are going to beat the giants...
I feel like the eagles are going to make me miserable for the rest of the season, let the panthers beat them, that would be okay, just for the love of god not the eagles.
or baltimore, or anyone, I don't care if the detroit lions came out of nowhere and beat them, just not the eagles.
I just want it to be sunday so I can get this over with. |

I love football
I never really cared before, the only game I'd ever watch was the superbowl, and even then only because it's practically a holiday. I really didn't even know which teams were playing, I'd pick a team to root for based on which color I liked best.
Now though.. something about this place has brought out a beast in me.
Every Sunday I am downtown watching the games.
Today was a bad one though, Jets and Giants both lost, although Eli played fantastic.
Steelers came back to beat the cowboys though, which was a really satisfying win, made more so by the bar full of cowboy fans.
Steelers play Titans on the Sunday I get back, I'm definately dragging some of you guys to watch that one, I love seeing the titans play a decent team, knocks them down a notch.
On the other hand, Chinese is painful and I hate myself.
My reading has to be close to the best in the class, I always get over 90%, if I only get a 90 I'm disappointed.
My speaking is CLEARLY better than the vast majority of my classmates. While they're stumbling over a sentance I'm stringing together paragraphs about what I liked and didn't like about old jobs and houses and the like. Extremely satisfying and theres nothing better than having a fast paced fluent conversation with one of the teachers.
Then theres listening... In a conversation format I can get it, I know what people are saying to me. In fact when people are talking to me rather than a recording I'm probably better than most.
But when it comes to recordings or tests, I lock up. I always dive on those, only once getting above a 90. If I get above an 80 I'm happy, usually it's in the 70's.
So now I'm just going crazy, cause it finally got into the hardest semester. Everyday I'm studying, today only for an hour so far, I still have a good 3 hours ahead of me though, yesterday for 7 hours, every weekday as soon as class ends I'll study straight through till whenever I go to bed. With the exception of Friday night, saturday morning/night, and sunday football, I'm doing chinese. It's a freaky schedule and I'm going to die.
I also go to speaking club 4 times a week, but thats kinda fun.
Wow this ended up being long. |

So, me and my buddy went downtown to study.
We've got this great spot, this coffee shop right in the middle of the town. We can sit there, study, and we ALWAYS bump into a few people to break up the monotony(pain).
Backfired this time. However I did get a 93/92 on my reading/speaking test respectively, so somethings working.
This time though we had 60 words to learn in one night, and we just kept running into wonderful snags.
First, this bartender we met last week invites us to go with her to get a drink, usually I don't drink on the weekdays, but we just met this chick, so we go along.
Than, after that, she goes because an old friend wants to get dinner, so we think we can head back to plume's(coffee shop) and study again.
No, run into a few classmates trying to do the same thing, but when theres so many of us together nothing ever gets done. Bartender chick comes back, and one of the chinese buddies decided it would be a great idea for us all to head over to the anchor and crown(british pub) for a round of beers.
Long story short, I didn't learn those words, and I'm paying for it now, and I'm probably going to have a hang over tomorrow because people kept buying me drinks.
I digress though, I just like typing, and I'm procrastinating right now.
Tommorow I find out what I got on listening, it's going to be a nail biter. I'm 80% sure I passed, and I may have gotten an 80-85. We'll see.
Status: Chinese is great again, and I still can't wait to head back to the island and see everyone. |

Today was our midunit test for reading, went reaaally rough. They busted out a new character that they knew none of us knew. Which is fine, they do that all the time, but they based the entire reading on that character, so right there I lost about 10 points.
Tomorrow is listening, and I think this will be the first time my listening score is actually higher than my reading score. I know for sure that I'm going to be up late tonight.
Found out my GPA is a solid 3, which actually is right up there, second in the class. Hopefully it's not going lower after this string of tests.
Our teaching team isn't the best sadly. Our class average is about 8 points lower than our other chinese classes in the same week. It's okay though, worst case scenario I rock out of this teaching team and get to go into another class.
On another note, it doesn't matter how limited our chinese is right now, if we're speaking it to each other, we sound fluent, which is a lot of fun. We already know so much of it.
They teach all the most common words early on, so instead of learning spanish where they just taught us nouns and such, we're learning how to string sentances together and all the grammer first. Semester 2 we'll start focusing on vocab.
Ok, enough procrastination, back to studying. |

It's so bizarre really
Years ago, I was so timid, I didn't like new crouds, I especially avoided large ones, I would have crushes on random girls and not say a thing, I was a secluded guy. Now, I'm a totally different person, I'm all over the place. I wouldn't say I'm outgoing, cause you can still see the quiet person I've always been, but on the weekends I just transform into this engaging, happy guy.
All through high school I had this crush on this chick named Ivy, and I never said a god damn thing. I was such a shy guy, I don't even know what was going through my head. Now though, I'm the guy my friends drag down to the clubs because I'm a natural at meeting new people. I just see people and I'm compelled to chat it up with them.
Before, if I was brought to a bar, I would stand in the most secluded spot and just stay quiet the whole night. Out here, I'm talking it up with everyone, I actually get a thrill when I meet someone and my friends hit it off with them. Cause when we're walking up the hill after the fact, they turn to me and say, "thank god for you Campney, you made my night"
Not that I have a dull night either, I'm all over the place, I'm always having a great weekend, something about the west coast just stirred something in my soul, I'm having the best time of my life.
Still true to my roots though, I'll always be the quiet, introverted guy that I've always been. Although, I have the capacity for some crazy antics in me. If the people from New York saw me now, they'd be blown away.
Even though I like the west coast, I still miss EVERYONE I've met back in new york. I miss my friends, I miss everyone from mount sinai(and laura), family and co-workers(courtney!) and pretty much everyone(Jacki too, just wait for winter break). I will always be an east coast kind of guy.
But I love being out here. I love learning chinese. I have a great time hanging out with my fellow service members, and I'm having the best time of my life(I said that already, but I have to drive it home!)
And oh my god did this post sounds like a speech |

I'm all kinds of exhausted right now. I feel like my neck can't support my shoulders, and this IV of caffeine is not helping at all.
And I still have that damn laundry to do, not to mention the stack of books that is audibly telling me to study them.
Unit three test starts tomorrow, a two day grueling affair, where we lose two students cause they can't keep up. I will kinda miss one, the other was just a nuisance.
The people here are wonderful. Everyone here wants to be friends with everyone. Even if you don't know someone, you see them everyday on the walk to class, or heading downtown, so you can talk to them. We all do similar things, so everyone has something to talk about.
Going downtown is great too, I love finding the places where the military usually doesn't go. Then people pick you out of the crowd cause we're the only ones without crazy hair and a clean shave. So right off the bat they come up to you and have a reason to talk to you.
In short, considering how awkward(understatement)I am around new people, this is a wonderful environment.
I do still miss everyone back home, but I have a tendency to miss EVERYONE(everyone being anyone I've had contact with in the past 10 years). So thats nothing new.
3 months till winter break (going home) and 8 months till class break(road trip?) |

If I got over a 75 on this last listening test, (which was a brutal, lunch money stealing, monster) than I'm going downtown and buying a crazy floor disrupting speaker system. Than I will waste the rest of the week away instead of studying. I will also become a christian, because in case you couldn't guess from above, we all need a miracle to pass this last test. |

So, in my dreams I'm starting to speak random chinese lines. Stuff we use all day like 'excuse me' and 'I went (here) and (there)'
I'm also finding myself wanting to use chinese, either cause it's shorter or easier to say,
Like, half and hour just doesn't roll of the tongue well, but 'ban dian' just kinda flows.
In other words, class is all consuming, and my english is starting to suffer.
Classes are going well though. My reading is top notch, I just have a gift for characters, but my listening is terrible. I've been trying to fix that but it's just SO DAMN HARD.
Grades are good though, rocking about a 3.8 right now.
Off to study some more zhongwen |

Got a roomate, we'll see how that goes. So sad, I was loving the privacy.
Done with our first unit, did fantastic on the speaking and reading portion, but did miserable on the listening portion. So at least it's pretty obvious where I need to spend my efforts. To think all this week I was so worried about grammer and speaking.
This weekend will officially be the worst weekend ever. As 90% of it will be spent studying. Have 80 new vocab words for monday, and we have to know short and traditional form now.
Have to catch up on my listening, so that has to be done this weekend too.
So basically I have no life till next friday, pending I'm doing well enough to take a break.
Beyond that, nothing is happening. Classes have taken up my entire soul and being, I've stopped answering my phone, keep missing dinner and lunch, usually only get 5-4 hours of sleep a night and tend to fall asleep for an hour or two as soon as I get back from class.
And beyond the occasional online or in building interaction, thats all I've done.
Clarification: I'm still enjoying myself : D |

BUSY
Started Chinese, it's a blast. I'm usually drained and defeated at the end of every class, but it's paying off.
Between whatever exercise I get in each day, and studying, and any other oddball things I have to take care of (shopping, studying, eating, studying) I don't have all that much time on my hands sans the weekend. I'm getting in a fair amount of Jason time though, usually by cutting back on sleeping time.
I find I'm actually more alert if I get less than my usual 8 hours of sleep though, it just makes the day more painful.
It's paying off though, I'm getting closer and closer to the end of FF9 which I still play cause I'm still a gamer at heart. At the same time, I'm rocking second place in my chinese class. First place just got lucky on the first test, I'll catch back up.
My listening skills suck, but I'm getting better, I can read well though, which says something. The characters are actually really fun and in many cases easier and faster to write than their english counter part.
For example, the character for "chinese language" =
 pinyin = Zhong wen
So when I'm copying down listening exercises I'm constantly switching between pinyin, english, and characters.
Pinyin is just the sound of the language, my teachers can barely read pinyin which leads to a lot of confusion between us.
I had to move (again) Just to a different room, which works cause I don't have a roomate for now. So it just feels like an apartment now. I don't expect it to last for any longer than 3 weeks, but here's hoping. |

This place is great, tons of junk to do that I would never have even considered. This weekend I'm going to get out and go kayaking, either that or sleep in and waste the day.
Another suprisingly fun thing to do here is volunteer work. They make you wake up early, and you waste the whole morning on Saturday, you're one true day off. On the other hand though, it's almost alwayws a blast, looks great on my records, and I probably would have slept in all morning if I hadn't done it anyway, so I've taken an interest in that as well.
Found out where I go from here. Near the end of my language classes I have an oppourtunity to go to China for a month and take lessons there. I have to be one of the top 10 students in the class though, so I'll just have to haul ass. After all my training, I get stationed in Hawaii for the rest of my 2 years, than back in the civilian world making the big bucks.
I'm definately looking forward to the next few years. If anything goes wrong though I'll go nuts. Completely crazy. I'm getting so pumped up it would kill me to be let down at this point.
Off I go to chow! Than maybe some more avatar. |

So, two amazing and bizzare things about moneterey
1)The base is right on top of a hill/mountain. So from our room we can see the coast, and the rest of Moneterey across the bay, but at ANY point, we can be looking across the bay, and it'll be all sunshine and happy music, and then you can turn around and there will be a cloud rushing you at ground level. Today, while walking to the chow hall, I watched a cloud roll down the mountain and totally cover the base in fog in a few moments. The fog can disappear just as fast.
2)I haven't heard or seen any dogs here, but I am still plauged with barking ALL NIGHT LONG. Dogs have been replaced by sea lions, and they are loud as hell. They bark all night long, non stop. The morning as well.
3)God damn sea lions |

I really love it here, past 2 days have been beautiful, finally got some blue skies and sun. Getting to 80 today.
Started learning chinese yesterday, just a beginners course that some students give to help you out. Not the real class. Up to 50 characters and we went through pretty much every word in the language (theres about 200 words, and about 50,000 characters)
It's fun, I was eager to get into the meat of it. We're going to be memorizing about 200 characters a week.
Lots to do here, I've barely gotten any time to read cause I keep getting dragged out of my room. Joe and Grant would be proud of me, and pissed that I couldn't do that a few months ago.
My dormmates are crazy, they like to be everywhere 15 minutes early, and they like to go everywhere in a group. Now, I'm the psycho who likes to hide in his room and read/waste time. So they're actually a good influence on me. So unless I'm studying I just kinda "obey" them and hang out around base.
Off I go though, going to be late as is.
P.S. I need to change that flower emote bad. |

I figure I left a lot of people in the dust unintentionally and I definately should have taken more time to tell everyone what I've been up to, or rather, what I was planning
But now it's 6 1/2 weeks later and I figure better late than never
I joined up with the air force, did well enough on the entry exam to score a linguist position. So as of March 18 I was sent off to boot camp, or basic military training as they call it.
So thats where I've been as of late, I just graduated today, this is my first time on a computer since than, I've only had 2 phone calls and had two oppourtunities to send out letters in between.
Boot camp is a surreal experience, the first 3 weeks are brutal, constantly stressed out, always tired, always hungry.
You can get a max of 7 hours of sleep a night, and they have a million and one ways to deprive you of that sleep. Coffee is a definate no as well, so I had extra trouble adjusting. : P
Now I'm done though, was a great experience. I feel healthy as hell, I've been eating well, I've gained weight, I'm now 160 up from 150, I'm no longer getting winded from just 2 miles or so.
I could go on for hours, and maybe I will make a huge post about all the stories and crazy experiences, but for now, just saying hi.
No, I'm not dead.
I'll be in Monterey, CA. Learning chinese as an occupation and getting payed a ridiculous amount of cash to do so. Life is good.
Miss all my friends back home, but I'll be coming back soon to visit, likely 4th of July weekend. |

I think I like the older posts I used ot make rather than the newer ones aI throw an attempts at, not that they have to be amazing or what not
Scratch that, as of this point, everything I do has to be exemplenary, otherwise I appear like the navy blue collar worker that I'm terrified of becoming.
And as such, I have to keep that image to myself.
Although I have no trouble keeping that image to myself, and the pressure on.
Especially when falling back on the opening paragraph, but I feel that the old me had some more interesting stuff to write, as of now I've got nothing, nothing really happens to me, and if it does it's more embarrasing or of the moment/have to be there, kinda deals.
It's a sad fate, but all ofa sudden it's gotten me to wondering the question that I though I had killed and answered.
Am I happier out of my teens, or do I wish I were back in them
And, being that I put so much stock in this question, I imagine it's not only just me that has this on the brain. |

Time for my annual or so update
Moved out with Grant, Joy, and Joe a little over a month ago, scored ourselves a pretty nice place. So far doing pretty well with adjusting. In so far as we haven't starved anyway
Have a house mascot, some gerbil named Rumples. I might even get pictures up here of him, as he's extra fuzzy.
Still have no idea what I'm going to do with myself, but I've got to say, after tasting low class income, I'm definitely feeling an upgrade, and I'm hoping that'll get my feet moving.
and that's about it |

Every time I read a book I take a little of the main character with me. That, and sometimes their writing style.
Not so much with fantasies and such, but I think you get the picture. I wouldn't be suprised if other people are familiar with what I'm talking about.
I don't think I can really convey what I'm talking about though, so on with the entry.
Sadly, I never seem to get around with what I did today. So for you're enjoyment, I've decided to do a very special treat (special for those of you with to much time on your hands, the rest of you will wonder why I'm taking up lj space)
8:00am Finished watching some more disney flicks, Hercules to be exact (cause you all care) and went to sleep.
12:50pm Woke up for work
12:51pm Went to sleep
1:36pm Got up, tore through the house and managed to get a shower. Got to work 10 minutes late.
4:14am Decided step by step entries are mind numbing.
For some reason typing is almost theraputic. I feel alright just clicking away, wearing my fingers down.
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
I actually don't like the way I type journal entries, but for some reason I can't help but jump from topic to topic. I think I should do a journal outline before I even get on the site.
I'll commit hours upon hours just for the outline, I'll bring over friends and we'll decide if it has enough content. After some friendly input I'll send it to the editing team. Then I'll do what I'm tempted to do right now and just delete a few paragraphs or the whole entry. (namely this paragraph)
However, I'm keeping it.
Okay, time for some content. What on earth usually goes here? I can't seem to ever find anything worth writing. Worth reading is the better phrase I guess.
I've been sitting here looking at this space below for about 5 minutes... I'll have a smoke and see if I can't come back and put something in here. Don't hold your breath.
Back, and I've decided to give up.
Ever Friday night I try and go to sleep early, as I have work 8am Saturday every week. For some reason though, I never can get to sleep before 4. Always something going on that I get dragged to and end up staying late. Drives me nuts. So heres to another night of no sleep before work.
Works though, 'cause I can always find time to sleep a few hours on the job. No reservations for tomorrow, so I'll be set, even have a pillow of sorts at work.
Problem with that is, I never seem to have enough energy to close up. Location closes at 4, but I'm never out of their earlier than 5. Last week I got home at 8:45. It's terrible. I have no energy at the end of my saturdays.
Well that was fulfilling, night all |
