Army Reserves?

Let’s see…what to talk about?
Well, I’ve been applying for jobs like crazy lately with no real success. I had a few interviews, but they all pretty much said that they could find better qualified people since there are so many people looking for jobs. It really sucked to hear that, but oh well, nothing I can do about it. I’m seriously thinking about just going door-to-door and asking if people want their car washed or their lawn cut. Fucking economy…
You know what sucks? That feeling when you finally mentally realize and acknowledge something that you didn’t want to be true. It might have been in the back of your mind for a while, you might have guessed it here and there, but you never really thought about it because you didn’t want to accept it or that you didn’t have any proof that what you suspected might be true. For instance, I might not get a job this summer. Or if I do, it could easily be minimum wage. See? That just sucks. I’ve been having those feeling alot lately. Like take today for instance. I played Tommy and Clay in Starcraft and all they were doing was saving my ass. It’s official folks. Tommy and Clay are better then me in StarCraft. Do you know how hard it is for me to say that?
This was pretty interesting to me. I’ve always personally believed it, but it was nice to see somebody finally take a pro-video games stance instead of all those lobbyists in Washington who failed as parents and are blaming their failure on video games. I’ll admit it’s not the best possibly study they could have done, but hell, it’s something.
I’ve been thinking about joining the Army Reserves lately. I could use the money, it would finally give me an actually reason to stay in shape, and it’s something I’ve sorta wanted to do for a while. I wouldn’t mind the whole “one weekend a month, two weeks a year” thing, but my main concern is basic training. It requires 9 straight weeks and frankly, I don’t have 9 weeks in a row free. My only real choices would be to (1) Take a semester off. Like possibly take my Spring semester off and then after BT, I could work full time somewhere and save up some money. Or (2) Do the BT next summer. While an option, I really wouldn’t want to toss away my whole summer like that. Ok, so maybe that isn’t an option. So basically, I need to figure out if I want to take a semester off from school or not.
Well I am off to go see Finding Nemo with my family, then apply for a few more jobs, and then…well, I don’t know what after that. Probably work on my site, play Xenosaga, and relax!
