We recently pulled back in from being out to sea for a week. We had to test a shit load of equipment and make sure everything was working properly in preparations to get ready for going out to sea. It's pretty cool to think that this will be the last time the KittyHawk will go out on deployment since it's retiring. Like 40+ years later. So as far as I know, they cancelled the plan to pull into Korea and changed it to Hong Kong. Either way, I'm fine with it since I've never been to either one of them. I've heard alot of good things about Hong Kong and all I've heard about Korea is that you can get some good as blankets over there, haha. Hmm, what else..Oh yeah, I've decided to start a shot glass collection. So far I have one from Guam, Malaysia, and Germany. The one from Germany is bad ass though, if you've seen Beerfest it's an exact replica of the boot but smaller haha. Oh yeah, I might be home for my birthday this year, if not then atleast I'll be back in the states. Mm, I'm finally starting college, some shit online. I'm tryna go for a Bachelor's in business with concentration in marketing. Applying for financial aid is a bitch but I'm relieved that I got that shit done. None the less, I can't wait to go to back home for a month. |

So, I've been going to some leadership class all week. We have to sit in groups and for some reason I sit at the table with hella country ass people, from their accents, to the way they think, it's crazy. Well, today we were talking about how dirty people are on the ship because literally there's people who need to be told when to shower and all this and all that, disgusting. But anyways, one of the guys starts talking about some nasty dude that walks around in his tighty whities that he's been wearing forever & a day, nasty as fuck. Well then the guy next to me decides to comment and says in his country ass accent "Well, I wear jock strap" and everyone at my table just looks around at each other like "Wtf? did he really just say that?" so then we all just bust up laughing like wtf. Then the dude sitting across from him goes "Why? why the fuck would you wear a jock strap? Do you mean Jockey?" and the dude goes "Yeah, that's what I meant" HAHAHAHAHA! what the fuck man. So, then he just decides to play it off and says "Yeah, I wear a jock strap so I can show my ass crack everywhere" hahahaha hella dumb. Country people, I swear... |

So, I just booked a flight for Honolulu, HI for my family and the total came out to like 1800+ and I was hella trippin' cause I was only trying to book it which I thought meant reserve it and don't pay until you actually take the flight but fuck, they charged my credit card already and it maxed out haha. But then I thought about it and thank God I filed my taxes already and I'ma get 1,000+ back in the beginning of February. So *phew* I was hella trippin'. It should all be worth it though. I can't wait to see them. I also found out we'll be in Bremington, Washington on July 21st so I'm hoping I can be home for my birthday. Yayy! If not though, I'll make up for it when I come home in September and be home for atleast a month. Party party party =] |

I was drinking the other day and we ran out of coke but we still had hella jack. So, tell me why the mexican girl goes back to her room to see if she has any coke and comes back with capri sun. And me and my homeboy were hella like "wtf? are you serious?" and she's all "it's good, i've tried it before" and my homeboy was like "haha what the hell are you doing getting drunk with 4th graders?!"
yeah, that's it haha, that shit hella came to mind and I thought it was hella funny. |

So, all I've been doing is working and drinking. I like work though because I work one day and get the next day off. But freals though, it made me hella lazy. I drink every fuckin' day. I'm an alcoholic. I admit it and I admitted it today and my homeboy was like "that's the first step to recovery" and I was like "NEVERMIND. I TAKE IT BACK." hahahah. But I gotta work on building up my tolerance for when I go back home cause I'ma for sure take a shot with everyone that will come to my welcome back home parlayyyyy! Other than that all I do is talk shit to the dumbass bitches over here. The other day I was watching some vh1 show and they showed some prince that bought paris hilton something and some mexican girl that I was chillin' and drinkin' with was all "how come all ugly people are princes and princesses?" and I was like why aren't you one then? HAHAHAH! then she shut the fuck up and then when I was leaving she's all "stop being so mean" what a bitch hahah. And like last week I was hella drinking jaeger bombs and some white girl we were drinkin' with, my homeboy went down on her and ended up throwing up and passing out which didn't make sense at all because we drink every day and then she came over and was like "I can't believe he threw up" and I was like "I know, we drink every fuckin' day and the day he decides to go down on you, he throws up, see what you did? your pussy makes people throw up" hahahahah! I'm hella mean but I don't give fuck cause it's funny as hell. Yeah, I guess that's about it. I miss home and I hate that I won't be home for the holidays. I MISS EVERYONE BACK HOME! AHHHHHHHHHH |

I was checking my MySpace and some how ended up on Shailla's yahoo photos shit and saw all the pictures from Jose's birthday and after seeing all that I really do hate missing out on so much back home while I'm all the way on the other side of the world in Yokosuka, Japan. It sucks. I want to go home already. It's been a long ass time since I've actually felt that life was good. It's pretty fucking depressing. But then again I guess the only reason why I want to go home so bad is because it's my comfort zone being that I'm so use to everything/everyone that I always somewhat know what to expect and tomorrow isn't a big ass mystery; I guess I'm just stuck in an idealistic state of mind. When in reality this whole Navy thing will benefit me in the end. I'm planning on getting a college degree, a house, and a car out of all this cause there's no point in wasting my time while I'm in the Navy even though at times I do feel as if it is a waste of time. So, lately I've been getting fucked over at work. The other day I found out that I'm getting transferred AGAIN. This will be the fourth time I've been moved and it sucks because I was really trying to get what I needed to get done and then once I got the news I was like "fuck it" because all this hard work doesn't seem to mean much. It felt as if I was getting noticed for all the wrong reasons like they weren't seeing how much of an effort I was putting into all these qualifications and all the damn studying it took to get me to where I am and all the bullshit hours I work. None the less they really know how to break you down over here cause if anything it's that type of shit where you do all you can and yet it just ain't enough. And to top it all off I don't have anyone here to talk about this shit to, like damn I guess I'd be doing a whole lot better if I had someone to vent to over here but nah it ain't even like that cause I don't trust anyone. All they got over here is a bunch of characters and shady ass people. With all that bullshit atleast I finally got my blue card and that's where you're authorized overnight liberty. So, yayuhh! for no more white card 11:59 curfew. Geez..
Anyways..
We just pulled back in to port from being out to sea for about 5-6 days and we'll only be here for another day and then we pull back out for good and start heading for Guam. Guam's going to suck because being an engineer we hardly get any liberty because we have qualifications/inspections to worry about over there, I hope I atleast spend a day out there so I can start my souvenir collection which I decided would be shot glasses and whatever type of money they have from which ever port we pull into. I guess Guam won't be that interesting since it's considered american soil being that everyone speaks english and they accept dollars over there if anything atleast I'll have a shot glass hahah. It's almost my birthday, time went by hella fast though. For my birthday we're going to be in Brisbane, Australia; that'll be interesting since I've heard it's like the "honch" over here in Japan and if you don't know what the honch is all I gotta say is "GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE" haha if you've seen flavor of love 2 then you'll know what I'm talking about. I think I want to celebrate my birthday by boxing a kangaroo or riding in its pouch haha. Man, I wanted to go to Thailand cause I've been hearing all these crazy ass stories about it. I heard there's some show and this girl just sticks a bunch of things in her pussy and all this other crazy shit. With every story I hear they always mention hookers, when I first heard them they would be talking about all the pussy they were getting and how many girls they had and I would think to myself "damn, they've got hella game" and then I remember that the girls they hook up with are hookers so that's pretty fucking lame. I remember one day we were watching VH1 and then they were talking about Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and all that "fire crotch" shit and I said we should give that nickname to some other guy in my shop just to make fun of him and then my boss ends up telling me not to cause that shit really happened to him hahaha when he fucked around in Thailand or Hong Kong, I forget which one but dang, I was really planning on it before he explained to me all that shit then I really would've fucked up cause the guy who got the fire crotch is big as hell, lookin' like Mr. Incredible and shit, literally haha. By the time I'm out of the Navy, I'ma be corrupted as hell with all these damn stories and shit but if anything, the stories make the work day go by faster. |

Work fuckin' sucks ass. I'm workin' 12 hours and by the time I get off I don't have time to do anything all due to my curfew of 11:59 pm. During work sucks cause we don't have anything to do really cause we're a trouble call shop, we don't work until something needs adjusting or the main machinery room thinks that it's one of our pieces of equipment that's fuckin' everything up and most of the time it's not. It's cause the lazy mother fuckers workin' in the main spaces are too lazy to trouble shoot what the problem is so since they don't really understand how the governor works with the system they go ahead and just blame the problem on it and then they call us to go fix it but it's very rare that a governor does break cause that shit cost 27,000 dollars so when it breaks, it breaks to the point where you can't use it anymore. I guess I'm starting to dislike work because of the people who I deal with on a daily basis and seeing how lazy they are and how they're dumb as fuck sometimes like damn does it really take that much effort to use your brain a little more? So, that's about it for work. My social life sucks right now cause all I do is work. Relationship wise, it's non-existent because first of all I don't have time and second of all being here and around these people has got my perspective on relationships hella negative cause all people do over here is play games and it's like this, you're either playing the game or you're getting played and not only that everyone cheats over here like all the chiefs and first classes and to top it off they're all married and shit too and the shit they say it's like what the fuck? like they'll be like "When I'm out to sea, my wife's married, not me" and from what I've observed all the guy's are just out for pussy and this one guy I know broke it down to me, he was like "The way guy's work in the Navy is you got boat hoes, port hoes, and then japanese hoes" hahaha but fuck it though, being here makes me not give a fuck about anyone like that anymore like I don't even feel sorry for anyone or I ain't even sensitive to people's feelings it's just like "Shut the fuck up and quit bitchin'" and right now I'm thinking it's all good to have an attitude like that over here but I'm hoping that I don't bring that shit back home with me cause then I know for sure I'm hella push people away cause they're gonna think I'm all rude and I won't even be worth venting to but it ain't even like that cause back home I actually care about people and like I want them to know that I'ma always be there and I pray to God that I won't have to hear "You've changed" cause that would suck ass cause then it'd be like friendships and relationships won't be the same anymore. I don't even know though, I'm just hella babbling cause I'm all worried cause I don't want anything to change once I go back home. I hope not.. |

I'm hella thizzin' and I ain't got shit to do so I'ma just blog.
I just got back from watching reno 911 and that shit was funny. I wish I was blown when I saw it though so I could be laughing non-stop and shit.
Man, I wish I was rollin' with everyone back home so it would be hella better and go back to my bad ass sleeping habits of sleeping all day and then go out at 10 at night then come back at like 6 or 7 in the morning and do that same shit all over again the next day. The good o'l days, I'm telling you mann! I can't wait to go back already I want the rest of my years in the Navy to go by hella fast.
So, this morning I woke up around 7 and then brushed my teeth and took a shower. Got dressed and then came over to the fleet recreation center. There was hella japanese food and burgers cause a bunch of sumo wrestlers were coming on base to visit. I didn't get to see them though but I saw them on the bus heading for base, it was like one of those Greyhound buses and that shit was hella low; I never seen that before, a tour bus SCRAPER! HAHAH. But aye, I guess there's a first time for everything, right?

I been working and shit. Work days have been going by hella slow though cause the new L.P.O (Leading Petty Officer) that's taking over is still in training so he doesn't really know what we should do or anything so we bascially have bullshit work that we don't even need to do. Last week we had our DITSL (Division In The Spot Light) inspection and we passed with only one hit which was a "No Exit" sign on one of our doors in our shop. So, I'm part of a fire party which is pretty much sailors who train as fire fighters. My job is Mechanical Isolation and I have to mechanically isolate the machinery rooms and supposably it's one of the most important jobs because the fire hose team isn't allowed to enter the space until it has been mechanically isolated, so yay for me, I guess? haha and once that job is done I go get dressed in my fire fighting outfit and join hose team 3 to go put out the fire if magically, some how, hose teams 1 and 2 die or something. We have 3 sections of fire parties and next week we'll get graded on how well we run the drills by some important people who work for ATG and I have no idea what ATG stands for haha. So, on Thursday they mustered (role call) up all 3 sections of the fire parties and they made a list which was pretty much their dream team list because they picked the best from each section as to who they wanted ATG to watch run the drill and the aftermath of it was suppose to be that this dream team thing would be flawless once we ran the drill in front of ATG because they grade us on it and guess what? I made it on the team so yayuhhh! but then again it sucks cause now I have to run more drills and they run those drills during lunch time. Not only that, I hate getting dressed in the fire fighting outfit cause that shit smells like armpits like 10 years of built up odor haha and the damn air tank is heavy as fuck and most of the time my boots don't even fit so it's hard to walk and on top of that we have to walk down ladderwells which is even harder cause I can hardly see with all the shit we gotta wear on our faces. Other than all that, work is aiyte I guess, we finally got the schedule for when we go out to sea and we're hitting Guam in June then Sydney, Australia and I found out we'll be in Brisban, Australia for my birthday and we'll be there from July 20-24 then after that we're going to Malaysia and then back to Japan around September. Can't wait, I guess? haha nah not really I just want to get this shit over with so I can go back home. I've been missing home alot lately and it's been getting to me, real bad. I hope the rest of the time I got left in the Navy goes by as fast as it has so far cause I can't believe it's almost going to be a year since I've been in the Navy.
Old habits die hard I guess, I blazed last weekend and I've thizzed about a good 2 times already going on 3 hahaha, what can I say? I miss doing all that shit but it sucks that I can't be doing it with the people I usually be doing that shit with cause then it'd be a whole lot better.

So, I've been in school this week. It's for vibration analysis, it deals with finding problems with machines just by collecting/looking at data that has records of it's vibration and from there you diagnose the problem. It's been pretty chill and I've been getting out pretty early. I got out around 2 today and I decided to go shopping. I spent like 300 something on like 6 shirts, 2 sweaters, and jordan III's.
09MAR07
Damn, I hella fucked up today. I thought class would've started the same time as it did yesterday which was at 10:30. Turns out it started at 8:00 and I barely woke up at 9 hahah fuck. So, the guy in charge of my shop calls the female berthing and asks for me and he's like "Hey, where were you this morning? they were looking for you in class" and I told him I thought it started at 10:30 and he laughed and was like "Nah, it started at 8. Just come down to the shop" So I got dressed and headed down there. All I gotta say is thank God we took our test yesterday or else I would've been fucked. But, I found out I got a 94% on my test and the other guy who works with me in the same shop got a 75% haha I was like what the fuck? cause he's a first class petty officer and at that rank you're pretty much just a supervisor cause you should already know your shit. I was hella relieved though cause I wasn't too confident about the test, so yayyuhh! for that shit hahaha.
So, it's like 7:00 over here and around 9 I'm suppose to go to a bar for some filipino lady's birthday, she's like in her late 20's haha wtf, right? but whatever, pussy's pussy hahahaha nah just playin'. The other night I was chillin' with my homeboys and one of 'em was talking about throwing up the peace sign when taking pictures and his stupid ass says "When japanese people throw it up, it doesn't stand for peace, it stands for WE OWE YOU 2" hahahahah. White people and the things they say, crazy. hahaha
I'm hungry. |

Update?
I filed my income tax like less than a week ago and I've gotten my tax return already. I feel all grown and shit hahah.
Work has been good, I guess it's cause of the people I work with cause it would suck to have to wake up everyday and go to a job you hate. I've been learning alot and taking apart a bunch of shit and putting it back together but all I gotta say is I'd rather be doing wrench work than paper work. They're pretty much making me man up in my shop cause we lost 2 people on account of they have school in California, so I've got to pretty much cram everything into my head and learn everything there is to know. It's stressful at times but I'm glad it makes the work day go by faster. Talkin' about making the work day go by faster, I can't believe it's already March. I don't get why High School took so long to be over with hahaha
Life in general is pretty good. I've been chillin' with different people from like every where in the damn states. But suprisingly enough, I'm starting to understand how Alabama people talk hahaha, crazy. Love life? I'm talking to someone now. Suprise suprise, she's black haha. She's coo though =]
Hmm..So, I guess I'm just living life day to day and going along with it. Actually, I'm living life 2 weeks at a time, from the 1st to the 15th of every month hahaha.

Well, I've been on the ship for about a week now. I've learned alot of shit and I pretty much just have been shadowing this guy in my shop. The whole check-in process was a bitch though and on top of that I got switched to three different work shops which is bullshit cause within the whole P-6 division there's five shops. The whole fuck up thing started because some senior chief wanted me to be in P-5 in the beginning when a master chief told me I was in P-6 so I should've just stayed in P-6 the whole time cause a master chief out ranks a senior chief anyway. So, I got transferred from the catapault shop, to the oil lab, and now finally, to the automatic boiler control shop. This week has been pretty chaotic, to say the least.
Anyway, they finally paid me all the back pay they owe me so I got a pretty big pay check this pay day, I'm happy though.
So, I wake up around 6 in the morning, go muster (take roll) and then we have cleaning stations from 8-9 and after that it's work until about 4:30 or 5 depending on what we have to do that day. The Japanese Nationals have been holding us up alot lately cause they keep taking out our ladder wells and shit.
On Tuesday (Monday in the states), Vice President Dick Cheney will be on board the USS KittyHawk, it's going to be crazy though cause there's like 4,000 something people on board the KittyHawk and they want us to sit in bleachers and shit. I have no clue why they pick our ship to visit with our reputation and all but fuck it.
Other than that, I'm doing good. Just trying to stay positive about everything. |

So, I've been gone for a month and a day.
Update on life
I'm content with being in Japan now. I've met alot of people and I've been learning hella shit from them.
Japan is getting better. So far, I've visited Akihabara, Roppongi, Yokohama, and Tokyo. People here are so reserved and intimidated, it gets irritating at times and it doesn't make any sense, with the millions of people here, the cities stay quiet, I guess it just takes time to get adjusted to. I hate how some japanese people are rude when you try and communicate with them and how some just walk away when you try and ask for directions and shit and others just act like they don't know english but of course they're lying cause they take 6 years of English in school.
Life as of now, all I can say is I'm happy with who I am today. With every day, I learn something new and it helps to mold me into whoever I'm going to be in the future. At times I hate "Life's lessons" but the only way to learn is if you go through it yourself rather than taking someone else's word for it.
I think it's weird how I've opened up to some people here, quick. At home it takes a while for me to open up to people. I guess that's just a part of me changing. The way I see it now is what do I have to lose by opening up to them and just talking to them, if they don't like me then they don't, cause not everyone's going to like you in life any way.
So, I was talking to people about "her" and one of my homeboys was talking about how I shouldn't reminisce about the past so much cause it's like walking backwards, you're going to get somewhere but eventually, you'll stumble and fall and then regret it in the end. I thought it was a pretty good metaphor. This girl that I was in DEP (Delayed Entry Program) with back in San Jose got stationed here in Japan a year ago and we bumped into each other, I was suprised as fuck that she remembered me cause I mean, it HAS been a year. So, I was hanging out with her and we were talking about relationships and she said that it seems like "she" just gets with who ever is available at the moment cause she can't be alone. It made sense to me cause when we started talking she barely broke up with her ex like a week before that. While I'm on the topic of "her" I might as well vent out what I feel, I guess I'm over her cause there's nothing there anymore well atleast I force it by looking at all the negative things about her, I guess it helps me get over her quicker cause I look at it as if she's nothing and doesn't want to do anything with her life so that doesn't benefit me in any way. It's just frustrating cause I put all that time, effort, and money into the relationship and I believed in her when everyone else turned their backs on her. I wanted so bad for her to graduate high school, get a job, get a license, and get custody of her kid and with all the time that passed, none of that shit got accomplished even though she promised she'd do those things. I can't regret being with her though, cause at one point I wanted to be with her. So, what I learned from that relationship was don't give so much and expect anything back and that you can't change people, no matter what.
But any way, I miss my family and friends back home. I'm thankful I got homies that still keep in touch, and I love them for that. I'll be home soon though and I can't believe it's ALMOST going to be a year since I've been in the Navy, time flies.
Thizz Nation is about to hit up Japan for a concert though, I'ma go that's for sure cause I miss the BAY to the maxxx. |

I'm helllllllla bored. So, I'll update this shit.
Yesterday; Went to Annie Pham's birthday dinner at Sino's on Santana Row. BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIN'! haha the food wasn't that great. After that we all split up and Jeannie ended up coming with me while Jose and John went to Jose's house. We had time to kill cause there was going to be a party at some girl named Abby's house and it wasn't going to start til 11 or 12. Went to Jeannie's house since we didn't have anything else to do. Chilled & found shit out. Decided to blaze so we called people up and we couldn't get any. Jose had a hook so we went to his house. Got there and EVERYONE was thizzin', I was jealous hahah. Jose's hook only had shake so I had to look for another plug and Joe came through for me and found one. Went to go pick it up and a blunt. Rolled it up and sparked it cause Jeannie & Annie were taking too long. They finally came out and what do you know? here comes Jose too, hella on one. We all blazed then went to McDonalds. On our way back we got pulled over cause Jose didn't signal at one stop light, HELLLLLLLLLLA GAY. It was hella cold too, I was hella shaking and my ass was sitting in the middle. So, after hella days the cop finally let us go. Came back to Jose's and I was already hella burnt. Chilled til like 3 something and Chrisko hooked it up with a pill. Popped it and went to go pick up my sister. Went home and went to sleep. Around fuckin' like 5 in the morning the thizz started kickin' in so I woke up and tried controlling that shit haha it was too much though. I wanna go clubbing nowwwwwww, hellllllla on one. Maybe tomorrow. So, the thizz finally went away and I went back to sleep and woke up at like 7:45pm cause my Mom was hella buggin'. I wish I would've stayed asleep though cause there ain't shit to do. |
