Ladies and Gentlemen, it's been pretty damn nice wandering these marble halls. The time has come for me to take my leave of you for now. At the end of this week I shove my rusty hometown off my shoulders and make my way out into whatever world the US Marine Corps has in store for me. It's been a long wait, I first signed up last December, and they've given me the run around shipping me out, due to the fact that they're pretty full on of soldiers right around this time of the campaign, but nevertheless I have weathered the waiting and of this weekend will be carted off to Paris Island, Isle of Paradise, to make a Marine out of myself. It's gonna be me boiling all seven layers of hell outta my psyche through intense psychological and physical strain. I would say I can't wait, but I've been two weeks away from leaving since last January. This is it though, they can't delay me any longer. My time has come, and I will be gone from here at least 3 months for basic training, then another for marine combat training, then six months at virginia beach for my job training, then however long it takes after that for a language, should they decide that's what I need. And there won't be much in the way of leisure time for me. I'm taking a sabbatical from this laze, and I doubt I'll ever be the same at the end of it. Maybe it's something I'm running from. Maybe it's something I'm longing for. Whatever. I'm sure our paths will cross ways again, though I might not type the same as once I had. Make no fuss. This is the better way. Goodbye, all you crazy souls. I won't forget you, no matter how hard I try. And with that I bid you all adieu. Good luck, and have beautiful lives.
