strange weekend

Got my car fixed. And went down to San Diego for the weekend. Went to visit a friend who's now stationed on Mirmar. Got together with some other people from our old unit and went out to pacific beach. This is the weird part. One of the Marines from my old unit was my old Sgt. Sgt Gentry. Man, da was really akward. Didn't really get along with dat guy back in oki. He was always yelling at me, and I was always embrassing or pissing him off. I would have never thought I would see him again



But we ended up drinking together. Different person off duty. Had a pretty good time. He trying go cougar hunting, and I was winging for him. It didn't work out that good, he was acting pretty stupid drunk, (I wasn't acting that good ethier tho.) But it was some pretty funny stuff that night.

Woke up on Sunday at someone's house. A friend of a friend, i guess. Went to play some flag football down at ucsd with some harvest kids. had a good time. legs are feeling sore from all the sprinting. Also hurt my shoulder somehow during the weekend. But yeah, next weekend halloween.

weekend

Had a mixed weekend. Went down to pacific beach on friday night. Then down to Imperial beach the same night. Woke up on Sat and my car wouldn't start. Had it towed to the nearest dealer and went to enterprise to rent something to drive for the rest of the week. Enterprise ran out of cars and I got a truck. Nisan Frontier truck.

It's really fun to drive. Never knew trucks could go that fast. I think it might even be an V8. Sucks a turning, but rumbles pretty deep, and acclerates pretty fast. Anyways hopefully I get my car fixed pretty soon.

update

Haven't been really keeping up with the blog as much as I want. Don't have a steady internet connection. Stocks doing great so far. Blew past s&p 1080 and dow 10000. I think i might wait a while then get some puts on those indexes later on. Out of the money of course. Need to hedge myself better. Very unprotected against a down slide. Check out my portfolio and progress on Covestor.com, my user name is wong55.

Wonder how much more can the dollar drop?

Still trying to win the mcdonald's monopoly got 36 pieces so far and won 50 cokereward points in the online game. Odds of wining are pretty bad. But I like eating their angus burgers.


On another note it doesn't look like I'll be deploying anytime soon. I was sick and missed the signups for afganistan, the last time they were asking for volunteers... talk about bad luck. I think my only hope for deploying is if there is a troop surge. But that doesn't seem likely ethier, Obama just won the nobel peace prize. And I don't think he'll want Afghanistan to like like bush's Iraq. It's bad for re-elections. Common Obama.... troop surge!!

Saved some money this weekend. Stayed around the barracks. Had duty on sunday. Anyways been eating a lot of mcdonalds and playing the monopoly game there. Anybody has tennesse ave?
