I have to get back on my feet and get my shit together, because I admit, since I was 14, I made my own money, did a lot on my own, and now it's the total opposite. That vacation to Hawaii killed me - I mean, yes, it was the time of my life, but I could have done a lot better money managing there. Lately, my life everyday has been occurring around a sausage fest. Nothing but the niggas been around lately, well mostly the niggas.
So, what's been really happening lately?
Eazy just left, and it's not the same at the house anymore. Granted, we just met each other like maybe a month or less ago, but being around them everyday (and night), you learn a lot about the people you're with in such a short time. It just depends how often you're with that person. Eazy's one of those people that you won't ever forget because his personality is the type that makes you feel hyped and happy. I guess that even though I have known him for a short amount of time (so far), I've learned a lot from just being around him and talking to him. It's weird without him being around, usually we'll wake up to Eazy's music bumpin downstairs while he's getting ready in that scary/lonely ass basement. I'll see him again though, that's guaranteed. $5 DOLLARS A FISH!
I now have two baby palm trees, but those motherfuckers look dead. Before Eazy left, he asked me to take these two baby palm trees and revive them. I thought that the guys were pullin some tricky shit on me, because I was watering it and the water wasn't being absorbed, it was coming back out from the little pan thing on the bottom (idk what it's called, I'm not a plant person) and I looked at the barcode sticker on the pot, it said "bonsai in plastic container" ... So I thought to myself, "If this was the real thing, why would it say something obvious on the sticker like the fact that it's in a plastic container? Did these losers get these from the trick store?!" I know that sounds really ridiculous for me to think that, but these guys know I'm gullible so anything could go you know. Anyways! Eazy handed these baby palm trees to me to take care of and I named one of them after him (Eazy) and the other one's name is E. hahahahaaha I'll change a name later, I couldn't come up with one.
I know that everyone is wondering "I thought Inmaly was supposed to leave?" Yes, I was supposed to leave, but there was something I was keeping from a lot of people for the past few months. After I enlisted, I was feeling okay about the whole thing, until realization starting creeping in. When I first stepped foot in to the Reserves recruiting office, I wanted to do the Guard, but I didn't know what the differences were between the Reserves and the Guard and on top of that, I went in to the wrong office. I took my ASVAB, got the scores, passed for the job that I wanted, but I didn't get the job that I wanted, I got 21Echo, Heavy Equipment Operator. At first, I thought it was done for me. I didn't want to go through with it when I didn't get the job that I wanted, but then of course the recruiters changed my mind (they would) to tell me that I could change my job later down the line and that the more jobs I have in the Army, the more experience, the more help I would have later getting a job in the civilian world. YES, THAT'S TRUE, BUT... Why go through 3 months of training for an MOS that I'm going to eventually change and then have to go through some more training again for my new MOS? I don't wanna go back & forth, and yes, I'd like to have a lot of job experience, but I feel like I would be wasting time doing something that I won't want to be doing. That's not a risk I'm willing to take, I mean, what if something happens where I couldn't switch jobs after all? Nothing is ever guaranteed. So, I finally got the balls to go in and tell my recruiter and the station commander that I wasn't going to be shipping off to basic training anymore, and they told me bullshit coming out of their ass: I won't be able to enlist ever again. I'm messing up my future. Worse, they thought that I was scared to be going to basic training. No, I was scared that I would realize I made a mistake and know that it was too late for me to turn back after I was sworn in the second time and signed the contract for the final time before I ship off to basic. I came strong in the end, though. I know I made the right decision and I know not to settle for less when it comes to things like this, it was my future. I had to do what was right.
So, that's what's going on. I'm still trying to look for a job over here, nothing's happening so far but I know I haven't been trying hard enough. I have been having more fun than trying to find work, so I know that's me. Watch me come out on top again.
