Be all I can be, huh?

OK, so in the past week I've talked to a Air National Guard Recruiter as well as a few advisers for the Air Force.

So far, my life is pretty f'ed up so I guess I should enlist. Then I can go to school or something. At least after its all over I'll have have a career that doesn't involve me asking people if they would like to add fries to their order.

The down side is that I'll have to take out my beloved piercings. And no more tattoos for a while. Their policies say that I can't have more than 25% of my body covered (and I think visible) in tattoos. So technically, I can have about 24.999% of myself cleverly inked up and not have to remove anything. Sweet...

The next decision is if I'd like to go into service full time or part-time.

Well Full time will get me:
  • A guaranteed 9-5.
  • An apartment on base or an allowance for an off-base place
  • Free School (On my on time, which sucks.)
  • Guaranteed cash every 1th and 15th.
  • Some over stuff..
  • Shipped off to war, possibly.
  • Moved around alot, maybe.
Part time in the reserves will get me:
  • 4 day's pay for 2 days of work. (That 1 weekend a month, 2 weeks a year stuff)
  • Free school (All those other days that I'm not working. Yay!)
  • Training and stuff
  • Over stuff that I can't remember.
I figure if I'm going to take my piercings out and enlist in something, I better do it all the way. I don't know. So I'm going to think about it. I have to lose 20 or so pounds first anyway.

Lets see what we can do

Well, I've attempted to customized this here blog. I've been teaching myself how to work with images using GIMP and Photoshop (both are awesome, by the way). I've used GIMP to make the few images on this site.

I made a lovely background and layout to use with this here blogger, but unfortunetely it doesn't work with Beta and I'm too lazy to go back to Classic Blogger. Other than the blogs being some picky about the code, Beta is pretty nice.

Oh, well. Like I said, I've been working on my website my teaching myself CSS, HTML along with those image programs. And I've been working on collecting content for said website, too. I'm trying to come up with a cool name for the site too.

So far, the website I'm building an info site for a few of my hobbies. Anime, cosplay, gothic culture, and all my other wierd hobbies. So I figure after I get the content done along with some pics, I am going to sponsor a few months on Meetup.com and hopefully get a group together and along the way, I'd like to build up my web presence.

The Meetup thing should go over very well. Like when I signed up for Anime meetup alerts, it asks me if I have an interest and other meetups like Japanese culture, cosplay, etc. When someone does sign up, everyone who previously signed up for alerts will be alerted. Same thing if a new group is founded.

Hopefully that made since and hopefully it will get a bunch of people go come to my site! Yay!
