Who knows
So today I went out and looked at a bunch of apartments, I found a couple of nice places on the other side of town, but it will be a while yet before I move in. My ex girlfriend called me today, and we talked for about half an hour about this that and the other thing. She did say if I got my own place she would come out here and visit me, I dont think that would be a good thing tho. I got a call while I was out from my investigator, and I have to go in to the academy at 9am for a little chit chat. So I am headed to bed here in a minute, so I will update again tomorrow.

Stupid AIR FORCE
And Tory says "Security Forces are the shit!" These guys are some dumb fucking assholes.
Store owner surprises Air Force guards
The Newport News man camped out at his store hoping people who had broken in would return.
NEWPORT NEWS -- When owner Jeffrey Thompson found signs last Sunday of a break-in at his military surplus store in Newport News, he decided to sleep at work with his gun nearby and catch the thieves red-handed.
Early Thursday morning, his long nights at the office paid off when Thompson confronted three burglars.
He was surprised to find out later that the men were members of Security Forces at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton.
Thompson said he believes they broke in to steal equipment for Airsoft, a combat sport similar to Paintball in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting them with plastic BBs. But the three ended up facing a more deadly weapon.
They have been charged with burglary and are being held at Newport News City Jail.
Thompson said he found signs of a break in at CQB Military Surplus last Sunday night when glass was broken in a rear door.
"I thought they might return and slept there with my pistol," he said.
Just after 3 a.m. Thursday, Thompson heard breaking glass and woke to see a man standing in the store.
"I got my pistol and told him to go to the ground. He complied and laid flat," Thompson said.
He found another man behind the counter and also ordered him to the ground. Then he saw a third man near the back of the store and gave the same instruction.
Thompson said he called the police. But the man behind the counter and the one at the back of the store managed to get away before police arrived.
Police spokesman Lou Thurston said the man Thompson caught was Scotty Harold Light, 20. All three hold the rank of Airman 1st Class.
Officers quickly found out the identity of the other two suspects, and they were arrested at a home in Newport News.
Light, and John Jacob Solecki, 20, have each been charged with one count each of burglary, attempted grand larceny and conspiracy to commit burglary. Both are stationed at Langley and live on base.
Timothy Michael Wiggins, 20, of Marcus Drive, has been charged with one count each of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary. Wiggins is also stationed at Langley.
All three are on active duty and assigned to Security Forces at Langley, Thurston said.
Known as the "air police," the security forces are charged with guarding the base.
Thompson, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, said he was "surprised" when he heard the men worked for Security Forces at the base.
A spokesman from the Air Force base said the "duty status" of all three airmen would be decided on a case-by-case basis after they are released from custody.

Hey, sorry I haven't posted in about a week or so, like I said I needed a few days to put my head back on right and get everything good for me, or atleast as good as I can get it. I quit my job at John C Nordt, so I no longer make rings. I have a new job, which unless something major happens in the next 48 hours, I will start it Thursday. I am really excited about it, and I know it is the kind of job that will change everything in my life for the better. On Friday night, a bunch of people came out with me to celebrate me getting out of Nordt and having a new job. I think only because of what my new job will be is why everyone came out, if it was anything else, they would of just gone home. All in all about 12 people came out including my supervisor and one of the other managers who I've gotten to know pretty well over the last year. It was really nice to get together with everyone from work, not to mention one of my Marine Corps buddies decided to show up and suprise the hell out of me when he came into town.
In a sadder note, there was a Police Officer here in Roanoke City who was beaten, and who is now paralyzed. Officer Bryan Lawrence was someone I knew from the off duty work he did at Nordt. He is a very straight to the point man, and also someone who is strong in his faith, and has also showed me the importance of faith again. His son just bought a house about two weeks ago and was about to be married here in the fall. For something like this to happen to a good guy like Officer Lawrence really blows my mind. He was less then a year away from being able to retire from the Police Department, but was unable to because of the money he was able to provide his family by being an officer and protecting the people around him. I have been praying for him since I found out that it was him, and I still pray to God that somehow he will be able to make a full recovery from this.
Somethings happened this week involving the ex and I, they are pointless to talk about, so I won't. But I am not happy at all. Well anyway, I need to get outta here, I am about to fall asleep infront of the computer and I need to be at my physical tomorrow morning at 10am, so I need some sleep before they start poking me again. Goodnight.

oye mi amor
Work was pretty boring tonight, Jen Tomasello came by and talked to me for a minute so that made some of the time fly by. I spent most of the time watching movies, but I did talk to my ex for about an hour. I think it's the longest we've talked since things ended between us.
We talked about this that and the other thing, we both tried to stay off the topic of us getting back together, but it still came up. I told her about how I was planning on moving out there, she was a little upset that I didn't tell her. I just wanted to suprise her when I was finally ready to move out there. Its not like I was just gonna move then call her and say "HEY IM HERE!" I just wanted to call her one day and say "Hey, I'm ready to move, I've got everything lined up, and I will be ready to go in a couple of weeks."
I told her that my shrink told me that instead of looking at this as trying to get back together and pick up where we left off, that we should look at this as starting a fresh relationship, all new again. She told me thats what she wanted to do from the get go, but she never really said that, and if she would of just come out and said that I would of been a whole lot better off. Anyway enough of all this talk, I need to head to bed. Good night.

Life styles of the broke and almost famous
This is a song from three of my favorite artists out there, and the lyrics are amazing.
Make a boat, make a plane
Sitting in a window, wishing, wanting and waiting. Its a cold, wet day.
Yet I find warmth in the comfort of my own insecurities. Faint music
plays in the background, I can't help but think how beautiful the rain
is as it falls past the street lights.
The people come and they go, the rain still falls. I wonder again, why
am I here? Its such a cold day, I find shelter is this glass cup of
emotion. The painful memories and the shattered dreams lay out in front of
me like the checker board pattern of the table at which I sit.
Its been real to me and so fake to everyone, I can't adjust to living
with this half heart. Where did my innocence go, where is my passion?
All that remains is a shell. No more are the days filled with joy, all
that remains is the hollow hope of a new day.
I look again, the rain still falls, and the sun still hides.
