Happy Easter!

Well, today was Easter! This is that time of the year where the stores sell those giant Reese's bunnies; oh! there's so much peanut butter in those. Anyway, we all know what Easter is about...it's when Jesus comes out and if he sees his shadow we have 6 more weeks of winter.

Ha! Just kidding...but seriously Easter is more important than many think. It's not just about the kids going easter egg hunting and eating tons of candy, but it's about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without this holiday Christianity is a fraud...which is why I think it's just as important as any other holiday.

Today I went down to Opolis, KS...pretty much right on the Missouri/Kansas state line. The Seal family lives down there, and we had dinner. First, I went to church with my dad and Lori. After that I was planning on driving to Grove, Oklahoma to see my grandma on my mother's side, however not only was I low on oil and gas, but one of my tires went flat while I was at church.

It's been awhile since I've blogged anything, and the only real reason I'm doing this is because I'm really bored. My job at Best Buy is going pretty good, although I'm still in the stupid white pollo instead of the blue Best Buy pollo; now people know that I'm a trainee. Oh well...I'm getting paid. Only problem is that I can't work Sunday...and they keep scheduling me for Sunday. The jerks.

As far as school goes...not bad. I have a few low grades in some AP (advanced placement) classes, but other than that I have all A's. About a month or so ago I went to the US Marines Corpse recruiting station. Actually it was right before Valentine's Day. Anyway, I talked to one of the Marines in there; asked a few questions. I found some good stuff out, but still need to get the acute details...

...Most likely I'll go ahead and enlist and do my basic training right after I graduate in May '09. That'll take up my whole summer, but it'll get it out of the way. When I come back from basic I'll go to college in Springfield at MSU while I do the reserves. Now, I've always thought the reserves were for wusses, but yo, if I can do that AND college at the same time then that'll just be putting me ahead. After I graduate college I'll get promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and be in charge of a platoon. I'll have to re-enlist, which is when I'll go full-time. Then, I'm going to do my recon/scout sniper training which would include S.E.R.E. (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) training.

My brother left for his Marine basic training last Sunday...so we should get a letter from him in a week or so. Other than that....life has been boring. I'm thinking of creating a new blog, but I'm not sure what it'll be about. I have a few ideas....I guess you'll see it when/if I make it.

That's pretty much it, so have a good day,

Seal
