well, i had a solid weekend. I worked all day friday. I worked till noon on saturday, then went racing. had a good night there, finishing 2nd to a good friend of mine. It felt good to run up front again, and even better to have a competitive battle with an old friend.
After the races we sat and drank and reminisced about past racing days. fun times.
Then i woke up this morning and worked all day again. So, like i said, solid. At least i'm making money though, right? At least thats what everyone tells me.
Interesting news on that point though. I may soon not have to worry bout money for college. I've begun serious talks with Sgt. Winter of the Army Recruiting Office in Spencer about joining the Army Reserves. I'd be an Army Journalist a few weekends a month for three years after college, with a definite possibility of deployment.
I know what you might be thinking: Whitey's not an Army type of guy. I agree. I need someone to pay for my school, and it might as well be the taxpayers of the country i might serve for. It's not only the money that draws me to the US Militatry. My grandpa served in WWII, and was very proud of it. My mom and two of her brothers served, as well as her father. I believe it to be an honor to wear our nation's flag on my shoulder.
It's not that i want to go kill people or even that i support the war (don't really know what i would be supporting if i did). I simply want to serve my country and reap the benefits. I wouldnt even really be a soldier. I'd be on the radio or writing about whats going on over there. I'd love to end up like Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam, pissing people off and doing pretty much what i want while befriending a local and his sister, only to find out he's really the enemy, then getting sent home for it.
The decision hasnt been made yet, but at this point i doubt ill have the money to pay for school on my own, so i may have no choice.
and hey, if i died over there you wouldnt have to listen to me bitch anymore. imagine the possibilities.. haha
