So I saw Divine Decadence out here in Vegas. The theater they played out of was small. lol it was actually located inside a gay exotic lingerie store. The old man behind the counter was funny with his little dog.

The show itself was lackluster. It seemed like they tried to be screen accurate but not doing a very good job.... no trannies, not a lot of props. Their Frank was really snooty even after the show, he was reluctant to even talk to the audience. Their floorshow gear was really good though. Costumes were almost spot on. Their prop guys though was really obnoxious and they were always standing out.

Overall, I don't recommend going to see the show. Maybe it was a bad night or they didn't have their strong cast. I'm not sure how it would play out if they had different people. I was putting a lot of stock into this cast and seeing as how they are in Sin City, I really expected a lot. Oh well.

Next time I'm goin on to San Diego and see how that works.

I'm almost outta here! Got 19 days after this post and i'll be hitting VA. Lots of things goin around here. This week because of Gustav we're recieving the Airman based at Keesler here at Sheppard. It's gonna be busy as hell over here. I really wish I could upload photos to the net but the CyberCafe here is retarded and my roommate has a Mac.

Which leads me to my next topic. I want to slug my roommate with a giant fluffy pink pillow with 15 lbs of bricks inside. Just so there's no external damage when it puts him into a coma. He's recently just turned 18 and he's crying up a storm because his fiance is at college and he can't see her because of the phase restriction. He was freakin 17 when he ask the chick! There's people in the squadron that are 18 and have 2 kids. We wonder why people are dumb in general? It's because they're poorly educated and they go and have sex like rabbits. Which in turn leads to more problems because some men can't wrap up. Not only that the kid rarely showers. I covered him in Febreze one day because he stank so bad. Worse, he barely does laundry. He does it twice a week, which wouldn't be bad if were issued 2 weeks worth of clothes. We were only issued one weeks worth. It's ok though. Three days ago I went ballistic and yelled at him to get his shit done so we can pass room inspections.

Room Inspections here at Sheppard are done randomly once a week and the room must be clean. Beds are to be made and can't look like a mess. A smelly room can recieve a demerit and possibly fail your room. Failure of a room consists of a phase back.

Phase 1 - Uniform at all times, no decor, can't leave base
Phase 2 - Civilian clothes after 1600, decor is authorized and can leave base in blues
Phase 3 - Same as 2 except you can wear civilian clothes off base.

The popular punishment for a phase back right now is Phase 1 for 30 days. So getting a phase back because your roommate can't keep his shit together is enough for me to get angry. He's starting to learn but he's still a little kid that never leaves our friggin room.

On the upside, I have a playstation 3 w/ Guitar Hero 3(yes...sadly I have succombed),Metal Gear Solid 4, and Soul Calibur 4. That and hanging out with my friends in the squadron has kept my mind sane through all the crazy crap the Military Training Leaders throw at us. I'm almost done with School here and I'll soon be home to party it up with everyone. Hope to see ya all! I miss you all dearly (mainly because I have dreams about being at home and being drunk w/ everyone...)! 

See you all on the 18th!

 Still in Sheppard... still bored... it's still hot...

Well it's not all that bad but that's all I hear everyday day in and day out. Sheppard this and Sheppard that. Frankly, our squadron has one of the fastest turn around times. Plus, AMMO is only 8 weeks and 4 days. Linguistics and Intellegience have 2 years of crap they got to go through. Other than that the town is friendly and to be honest I'm fiending for a cigerette. 

More to be posted later but i'm nearly out of money on this computer so if all else fails send me a letter!!

Ja Ne!

Sorry, that this post has been so delinquent. I've been really busy here at Texas (a.k.a Satan's Outhouse). It's constantly hot as balls out here and it's boring. Aside from the craptastic weather and the consistent yelling, life's good.

I graduated Basic Military Training (BMT) on 06JUN2008 and that was well... disappointing. Really stressful for the first two weeks then it became rapidly annoying that some people can't figure things out. It really is unfortunate that idiots exist everywhere. We lost 4 people during BMT. Three to medical and one for behavior. I just recently found out that we lost three more people from my flight.  One of my friends wimped out, another tried to commit suicide and one was discharged for sexual assault. Yup it's been all sorts of fun here. 

Good thing though is that a lot of people came out stronger and better than they were before. I didn't get the job I wanted which was Tactical Aircraft Maintenance. Instead, I got Munitions Systems Apperentice. Basically to sum up my job, anything that has gunpowder or in otherwords goes boom is my department. I assemble, maintain, inspect, and store any munitions. Right now, I'm just in Technical School at Sheppard AFB, TX. Located next to a tiny town called Wichita Falls, Texas.

Oh yeah, I quit smoking ever since the start of BMT.  It's weird but I think I can get used to it. I will be coming home, hopefully, 20AUG2008. Barring any delays, natural disasters or black flags (Black flag is used on base to signify that the current temperature is above 97 degrees and that all Physical Conditioning should be very limited and marching is not allowed). 

As it stands right now, I am an E2(Airman) with the AFSC of 2W011 and assigned to Osan ABS, Korea. Upon graduation from Technical Training, I will be an E3(Airman First Class), with the AFSC of 2W031. Hopefully, I'll get my Recruiter's Assistance Program so I can come home for 2 weeks. Maybe a little bit longer depending on my port call. Anyways, i'm still learning stuff at my tech school and having fun. Of course, under the rules and regulations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, I am forbidden from talking about anything relating to testing material in my AFSC. 

Miss you all! I'll see you all when I get to town!

Current Mood: complacent

This made me laugh so hard...

Sorry guys I haven't posted in forever. I've been busy with my mother's flower shop and what not. I'm trying to enjoy the last 24 days left before I go off to Lackland Air Force base on the 8th of April. I really hate though that I owe a crap ton of money because I don't have health insurance and what not. So i'm basically asking if anyone has any jobs that are willing for a quick hire for the remainder of my term here in VA before I go. I'll work any shift. I'm on my last legs right now trying to scrape money together. I won't be able to go to karaoke or wing night due non sufficent funds. I will work hard and i'll do my best. If anyone can help please call me. Other than that, I'm excited about going and chasing my childhood dream. Oh does anyone read manga? I'm selling them too.

Woke up this morning in complete dread. My friend, Kevin is getting activated today (today being Monday the 3rd of Dec). Leaving for Iraq in March. I possibly won't see him again until New Year's and it's going to happen all over again. However, completely knowing that I could more than likely miss him getting on his bus for a final goodbye. It's not because I won't show up, mind you, it's because I'm going to be in Texas for Boot for six and a half weeks starting in February.

Other than that week has gone by fairly well. Ups and downs but mostly slow and stressful. Hopefully, things will perk back up again. Now, however, I'm starting to regret joining because what if I get sent over there?

Current Mood: sad

To everyone that has been concerned about me.

I'm sorry if I let anyone down. I'm sorry that I have become emotionally unresponsive. I'm sorry that I couldn't see the good things that were right in front of me. I'm sorry I couldn't love anyone completely.

I thank the people that have stood with me and helped me fight this. Without them I would have fallen on my face. I possibly would have killed myself but they prevented that fate. They have my utmost respect and appreciation.

I have been going through a rough time these past couple months. My family has been stressing me, my situation in life, and my friends that I thought were my friends have been stressing me. I never thought that I could be so weak when fighting all of this but I was and I hurt the woman I truly love.

I never wanted to hurt anyone. I never want to be the outcast again. I don't want to walk back into the shadows of the darkness of which I have born from. I love to talk and make new friends. I love to be happy and fun. I love to care about people and help them with their problems. Yet, some have been abusing that and I have detached from them.

Please do not pity me. Do not pity me at all. I have learned my lesson through these turbulent times and I wanted to let everyone that have been wrongfully neglected, that I'm truly sorry.

To the woman I love:
I should have been stronger for you. I should have never let my emotions come to such a turmoil that it has hurt you. I'm doing my best to overcome all of this to come back as a man that has changed your life. I want to be that pillar that you can rest easy on. I don't want to lose you. I'm sorry if i'm confused by my own feelings because I have never truly known love. You showed that to me and you let me see what kind of happiness can spring forth. From this day forward, I vow to you that I will always fight for you. I will stand guard and protect you. I will sacrifice myself to let you live. I want you to have a life that would never bring you true harm. I love you, I love you so much that it hurts me to know that your ill and that I have hurt you with my callous remarks. I'm never going to run. Not anymore, not soon, not even in the future. I love you. I'm sorry that I fucked up.

Still in Korea. This time in Wonju with my aunt on my pop's side. Two more weeks and I have to leave. I would love to stay but I gots ta finish my degree so I can get a better job. Fixing computers is fun but I rather be doing what I want to do, not my hobby. Anyways, see ya'll when I get back!

and for your boredom pleasure!

Current Mood: complacent

Well, I must say it's really quiet out here in the country... nothing really happens and I've been doing nothing but being lazy, eat and not have a single care in the world. Although, I have been busy the past couple days because I'm helping out my grandpa at a general store we got out here. On the weekends and Monday night we get bombarded by foreigners. Germans, Swiss, Czechs, the whole lot of 'em. The only thing I'm glad about is that at least one person in that entire group knows English. Although, there was this one really cute Australian chick the other day. Oh yeah... kinda forgot to add this but there is this International Rafting Competition out here in Inje County (where I'm at). Otherwise, I've been catching up on movies and shows I've missed here in Korea.

On a sad note, my IDL (International Driver's License) doesn't look like it's coming here and I have to yell at the company that's based in Miami but I damn well want to have my 90 dollars back. I've been stuck here in the country because I can't drive anywhere without it. On the plus side, it's really quiet and I can't get into too much trouble out here compared to being in the town. The only people out here are old farmers and gossipers. Sure, there are girls out here and what not but they either have boyfriends or they're my family (ew...) Or, I'm not looking hard enough. I've been mostly trying to get used to living out here in the country. Although, I must say I have acclimated quite well.

Now, all I need to do is find out that cute chick's phone number I saw the other day I'll be set out here....

Current Mood: pleased

According to IMDB, The Transformers Movie is to be released 28 June 2007. America's release is 3 July 2007. Guess who is seeing it on opening night here?

Current Mood: ecstatic

Yup, I'm finally in Korea. I'm havin fun spending time with my family even though I just got here. And, OH MY GOD!!! The FOOD!!! *drool* I know I'm here until August 8th but... I'm kinda thinkin maybe I'll come back Sept 9? Enjoy a lot more time out here. hmm... so many choices!

Current Mood: energetic

I must admit I never expected so many birthday wishes from people. I usually get like 4-5, max. 10. Nope, not this year! I never truly expected it but I was like *woah*. Then again, I don't really throw a huge deal over it. I just kinda let people know like in five to six months in advance, never really telling anyone anything until the day of. However, yesterday was quite interesting. Woke up, found out my friend had a nervous breakdown and helped him out. Later, went up to 'The Daily Grill' and got a free double Capt. Morgan and Coke. Hung out there and then later sat in a freaking parking lot for an hour for my family to finally come to 'Peter Pan Buffet'. Ugh... The food there was atrocious to my tastes. Was not good at all. Later, I went to Hard Times and played Pool with 6 other people. Came back to my place and killed off the rest of my Captian Morgan's Private Stock and my San-Soju. Total amount of alcohol in my body by the end of the day: >15. Sucks I ran out of alcohol. I wish I had more so I could've been reallllly plastered. So, quick review: (ala plus and minus)

- Day started of with a nervous breakdown
++ Pops got me Popeyes! YAY!!!
+ Hung out with Kylie, Matt and Gina at 'The Daily Grill' and got a freebie drink
- Saw Jack....
- Hung out in a parking lot for an hour waiting for family.
------ FOOD WAS BAD!!!
+ The cold shower was fantastic!
++ Played Pool at Hard Times w/ Asher, Josh, Kylie, Webb, Danny, Matt, and my sister.
+/- Finished off all my liqour
- No booty for the asian... <(; ;)>

Eh, well better luck next year, eh?

Current Mood: amused

it's funny. I keep talking like this is my last few days here in the states. Maybe, I really do want to stay in Korea. Who knows? I might end up living there. Frankly, I want to get my degree first and go. So, all of you who don't want me to go, don't worry. I'll only leave a few more years down the line.

Peace, love and hair grease!
Asian J

Current Mood: thoughtful

Since 55 minutes ago I have 24 days left until I leave for Korea. I might come back, I might not. It's all in the air for me right now because I want to go and live there because I love my family so much. I deeply apologize to all my friends but I can not say whether or not I'm going to live there because I really don't know. I love all my friends and I will truly miss them all should I decide to stay. However, I am quitting Starbuck's come the 31st. Just remember, I love you all.

Sincerely,
Asian J

WOW, What a couple of awesome weeks! To kick all of this off, I started to play Legend of Zelda: Master Quest and I'm completely in love with it. I haven't finished it yet but i'm almost done. Next, on Saturday, It was an great show at Rocky because I got to watch the cast in what...FOREVER?! On Sunday, I went to Leesburg and hung out with Squirelly and Marcus and pulled a moving job out there and made $45 bucks and ate dinner at 'Not Your Average Joe's'. After Dinner, We all went out to see 'Hot Fuzz'. The movie was AWESOME!!! Highly recommended! After that hung out at IHOP and retired for the night. Monday night, I went with Marcus to see Grindhouse at Lee Highway Multiplex. After the movie, we ran into two random girls (not so random afterwards as we later learned). Went over to IHOP and hung out. So, to top it all off, I'm having a blast these couple of weeks and I feel good.
