Something worth noting
Once again thanks TLF for reminding me to update my blog in all events random and pertinent and here's an event which I think is extremely pertinent. The Sr.'s nephew who is marine came to talk to our class about the war in Iraq which he was fighting in. (He wasn't that bad looking either) It was actually pretty cool. He was really softspoken which I though was ironic since he's a sarge and all. He was talking about his experiences and how he can't really talk alot about his job since he' s in intelligence. He's going back to his base in Hawaii on Sunday. Anyway during the course of his talk I ask a couple of questions. And then, Sr. out of the corner of her mouth says, "Ask him about his girlfriend" I looked at her and said, "what?". Then followed by an "Oh." and "OK!" Raca's on the side and said, "Do it!". While he was talking about a more serious topic I tried to suppress my laugh, and when he finished talking I raised my hand and I was called on. For three seconds straight I was laughing partly because A.) I was nervous and B.) Because it was random, which exemplifies my personality. Then finally I asked the question he started to laugh and then I think the class started to laugh and he finally said, "I didn't expect to hear that question." I was so drunk with laughing that I didn't blush with embarassment, because I learned throughout my career at SHA that I should be embarassed at questions. At the end of the talk we took a class picture. I think that I might have cut Raca's face off. Oh well.
Oh Lesley if you're reading I was wondering if you could make a quick intercession that he has a safe trip back to Iraq and that he comes home safely and for all the other marines out in the battlefields. Hey! It's a fellow Marine. Btw, I was wondering, when you graduate, do you become an officer or a soldier thingy. Just wondering.
I gotta finish Huckleberry Finn and Peace out for now.
PS. anything larry the cucumber or stephen colbert!
