Sushi sushi SUSHI SUshi suSHI sushi SUSHI!!!

Ok, so I want sushi really badly tonight... Porter apparently got drunk last night so might not be interested... :.( I just might cry now. It's been a while since we've hung (hanged) out but oh well. Failing says he is game, and Roser might be as well.

So a little about myself. I grew up in a military home, Dad was in the Air Force. I guess most of my life I wanted to or knew that I would end up joining the military eventually. I was in band all middle and high school, percussion/drums. I planned on going to college for music, but couldn't afford so I went to work. During the summer of my senior year I met the woman with whom later I would be married to. She wound up moving back to cali with her family, and after about a year, I brought her back over here. We eventually got married, I lost my job, and searched for another one... this was around Christmas time, and I couldn't even get a part time job, so I joined the Army. I was originally planning on going with the Air Force, but when I talked to one of their recruiters, he told me to lose 20 lbs and then come back and talk to him. Really wouldn't give me any information, so I thought to myself screw you too. As we walked out, my recruiter, who was in civies at the time, stopped me and my wife and started talking to us. He made a point that he was more concerned about our child that was still in her belly, and we were hooked. I went to basic, got through that without a hitch, then went to AIT and my wife went into labor while I was there. I was able to make it home for my sons birth. Eventually I finished all my classes and graduated. They then sent me overseas to South Korea, where I am currently stationed. It isn't too bad over here. There are some nice areas here. I'll be happy though when I get to my next station and I am no longer in charge of the shop or the only one in the shop. Either way, I can't really complain. God has been good to me and blessed me with a steady paycheck to put a roof over my beautiful wife and son's heads, and then some so that we can have some... creature comforts I guess is the best way to put it. It has been about 6 1/2 months since I have held my wife or son in my arms. I can't wait to see them again. Skype has been awesome for the most part. Lately my camera on my computer hasn't been working like it is supposed to, I think it might be the software for the camera... don't know for sure. Any way, sadly enough, I am going to miss my son's first birthday... I have already missed my wife's 21st birthday and that still irritates me, though nothing could be done about it. I plan on going to college, but I am not sure what for. Still want to go for music/music education but I don't know that that would be practical. I would love to play music for a living, but that is hard to do, especially when you have a family to support as well. Some day the Lord may permit, but right now I don't see that happening.
