Waking up in the wake of a post 9/11 crash
by RevolverRob on September 12, 2011I over slept this morning, Yesterday was pretty rough for everyone. I still believe in the common generosity of company. My friend Schuyler and I ate at the Hi-lo Cafe with a black gentleman Cassius. He had nowhere to sit so we invited him over to our table and talked about health and hydration. I had come to find out this man worked with my father in the weed lumber mill back in the early 90's and he recalled my dad having dark hair and being very tall. Cassius was a shorter ripped-cut man so of course it would seem that my father was a giant at 5'11. I ran into officer Corporal Halligan on his shift in the diner. I spoke with him briefly before he received an emergency response call, and had to jet off like a red rocket flaring through the air. Of all the officers I have ever met, halligan is the only officer I truly respect. It's been a few day's since I've wrote in my journal. on 9/10 I met the girl of my dreams, I was up in the dorms visiting a few friends, when I ran into her. I could'nt believe my eyes, she was a beautiful angel sent down by God. I ended up drinking alot more than I expected I have been quitting so it was a rarity that I was even partying on this occasion. Im learning a lot about myself and life, Im only twenty four. I felt my world was ending and now I feel like there is sooo much more. I am learning that I am stronger in ways I never knew before. I used to doubt myself because I never had to try, and now that I am forced to survive I am surpassing my expectations. I know that whatever I put myself through I can make it to the end, that is the nature of human character. I am suppose to call my recruiter today, Wednesday he will be here with my 19D Recon scout specialist contract. I can't imagine myself being anything else anymore than the thing that I have wanted to become since I was four. I have always wanted to become A soldier, but my mother always strongly warned against it. Now that she is gone I am free to do what I want.. It was my fault that I make all the mistakes, but now that the stakes are high, Im rollin dice in an angel city gamble. I just want A house and a good life with my future wife.
