Evil Mad Ducks

So I know why everyone in my class is acting so laid-back, nonchalant, lackadaisical, lazy, just so blah lately...

We're all getting pay raises and new ranks in a matter of days.
People we know are actually getting winged.
It's Memorial Day Weekend which marks the beginning of summer fun in the sun.
We're almost done!


To celebrate, here's a wonderful nature video I took of some ducks.



Stay classy.

Whidbey Island, Here I Come

Congratulations!

You have been selected for the EA-6B Prowler




No shit, this is what was written on the letter inside the soggy envelope I received after a tiring sumo wrestling match in the rain and slip'n'slide race.

I'm the blue one! And I won (I couldn't see it though while I was actually in the suit)

But anyways, we had a great selection. Not everyone got what they wanted, but I'm sure everyone will learn to love their gray jet in the end--we'll all be doin cat shots off a carrier and it'll be a great experience.

About the longest vacation in town I've had so far and I must say... procrastination and laziness were pretty much married this weekend. On top of that I became a poor person and learned to live off of dollars and cents. Really. I was also able to get an almost-perfect bronze tan at the beach. So this is how it felt back in A-pool. it's all coming back to me now...

This is next. The mighty OLD T-2 Buckeye. 9 sims and 12 flights in this 50-year-old baby and I'll be moving on to bigger and better things.

As for the deeper, I still find myself in many pickles. There's the question of career vs business, relationship with god, relationship with people, and my own personal goals. Sometimes I wish I had an continuous stream of encouragement bursting into my ear. Something to kick Procrastination's ass.

Any ideas are welcome.

This week, sunlight and fresh air is an option

Ahh.. yes. I've entered the week from hell. I'm trying to be available this week, but I'll be living in the simulators all week, putting in at least 10 hours a day. Sick, huh?

On a good note, I select in 2 weeks, I get paid in 2 weeks, I also promote (on paper) in 2 weeks. And my business is slowly getting there... I just wish I could buy more time, eh?

But we all wish that.

Here's another photo for your pleasure-seeking self.
