Well Taco already knows most of this, but I recently got out of my active contract of "indentured servitude" with the Air Force. Nearly a six year period of my personal Dark Age that I would rather soon forget and start getting my life back on track. After four months of applying, I have finally landed a job that I tentatively start Oct 1. It is a pretty good pay raise from the Air Force, plus I will be actually getting paid for overtime now.

I went up to NY for 4 days to see my family up and to attend a family reunion in Jersey. I went down to Greensboro, NC to look at the facilities of my first job offer that which I later did not take. While I was down there I visited a second cousin who lives there who I had saw earlier in the summer at the family reunion. I went back down to Greensboro this past Saturday to see Wintersun play at The Blind Tiger along with Ne Obliviscaris and Sarah Longfield. I also went to NC to visit my grandparents for a few days.

I have gone to the movie theater more since I have gotten out. I say this because the theater where I was stationed was so depressing that it made me not want to see any movies. A decent movie theater was an hour and a half away. Not cool.

I met up with my best friends and have hung out with them. I played some Pump It Up and DDR for the first time in a few years. I have been going to temple (a.k.a. the gym) five days a week. Tomorrow I will be going up to D.C. to see the Mets vs Nationals. Unfortunately we shall be seeing Vargas pitch. I hate that guy. He sucks and the Mets should have let him go by now.

Before this four month break of employment I had not taken any vacation in over a year so it has been a nice reprieve before I get back into working.
