Mood :  Happy
Music :  Faunts - Parler De La Pluie Et Du Beau Temps

So let me start with the most important news on this fantastic New Years day 2009.

My Music HDD Crashed My painstakingly anal retentive OCD music collection is gone. 600gb of the best music in the world is now lost to the worst destructive elements of human nature. I tripped over a cord and caused my external to crash down onto the table. I have been in touch with a couple places that do data recovery I found one that does a flat fee of 279.00 and a slightly more upscale one that I talked to someone about my beloved drive and it was 1800.00 as a favor to me. I think this music is more than worth any price. I do plan on once recovering said data to follow a regimented double backup process. I have never been careless and this is such a shock to me. But I will survive.

onwards and upwards I suppose…

Happy New Year 2009

The events of last evenings celebration can best be said in pictures, As you can see in the gallery.

Back to active duty, Back to the grind.

I have 2 more days of freedom till I am back at school and back at the routine of wearing ABUs 12+ hours of my day. I am sorta excited though to see my friends. I am also excited to get back to school with some better civilian clothes to wear during my off duty time.

Resolutions

lets revisit my past years resolution to see where I stand on maintaining my resolutions for the new year.


First of all my debt I successfully killed about 40% of all my debt in the year 2007. My goal is to get rid of the rest of it by this time next year.

XThe next is to be enrolled in some course of study.I think its crazy I have over a hundred credit hours and no degree.I want to finish my AA in the next year.

XI want a new job/career this is not a lofty goal and something that should not be any problem at all with if only I would quit being so lazy.

XPhysical goals:
65 pushups
65 situps
+ 20 lbs

I did not pay off all my debt, I still owe about 4K in student loans but considering where I am at with my new career and that being my only debt. I think I did quite well over the past year. The physical goals were met very easily while in BMT. I did not gain the weight I believe I am about the same but much more tone, than I was last year. I did not complete my AA but at the end of tech school I get 24 more credit hours to add to the 8 I earned while in BMT.
