Hello out there in cyberland. I'm back to posting after a long hiatus, and I must say, it feels good to be back.
As you probably already noticed, there's a new look to my blog. I figured If I'm going to start anew, the blog might as well look the part.
I'll be updating as often as possible for the next few months, when computers are available, and when I can actually write about what I'm experiencing. I also have a back-up system (my personal journal) that will act as my blog storage until I can post on here...no note to you readers: if I go a few days without posting, and then suddenly post, scroll down to see what happened as I will post several several times the same day.
- - - -
OK...since I last posted, a few things have happened.
It's now 2008 - well, we're well into the year by now.
Vanessa and I are doing quite well, despite the day-to-day issues any couple has. We're really enjoying the fact that everyone calls us the "disgustingly cute" couple. We found a church that will even let us be ourselves, and we have been told by other church members that we inspire them to be more of a couple. That makes us very proud of ourselves.
Vanessa is thinking about leaving the Army. We had a sit dodecided it's probably for the best. Read her blog (link is on the right) for details.
As for me, I'm getting ready for a fun trip to the beach...except his beach has no water...or beach for that matter. Ah well. So now I'm in training in Wisconsin. That's all I'm really going to say about that today. Everything will start tomorrow, so for now, I'm just holding out and anticipating what's to come. It's only 6 weeks! That's what I keep telling myself.
OH! If you would like to send me a note, you can still reply to this blog, or send an email to me (provided you know the address, if not, ask someone who knows me, and they'll probably help you out with that). I'd say send U.S. mail, but it takes a while, and I'm not sure what can and can't be sent yet.
So there you are, a new blog from the new me.
I hope to get better...blogging will probably be my only link to the outside world for a while, so I'll stick to it as best as I can. Hopefully, it won't lapse again...I won't be allowed to be lazy this time.

I know...I know...
Okay, so I haven't updated as much as I'd like, and you, my reader(s) have been anxiously awaiting something profound from me.
Well, here's what I've been up two for the past few weeks:
We did the Rocky Horror thing a few weeks back. It was fun for both of us, though the practices left us little personal time. By the end of the show, we'd been practicing every niht from 6-9pm, then going straight to sleep for the next morning. It was all worth it, though. I got to relive my glory days, and Vanessa got to be a part of it all. She really liked the show, and wants to do it again next year.
Last weekend, we went to see the local German production of Rocky Horror, and I was asked to play a part in their cast - as their people didn't all show up. It was my first time playing Rocky, but somehow I managed. There are pictures floating around the internet, but you have to know where to look, and I'm not telling... :P
Just before Halloween, we went to Frankenstein's Castle (yes, it's here in Germany!) to see the "haunts" there. It was very nice - artistically - but not scary. They had some one-act plays that were nice, and their haunted walk was okay...but as an American, I've grown up watching scarier things on daytime television. Many of the locals were scared and running from the people in costume. It kind of makes me lament being such a child of the night. Things like that just aren't enough for me.
The Holiday season is fast approaching, and I think I've done most of the shopping I am going to do. I still have some people to buy for, and others I would like a list of "areas to look in." If I don't have your list, you fall into this category.
Work is the same...pretty much will be this time of year. Vanessa continues to excell at everything her boss throws at her. Meanwhile, I'm stuck waiting for notification of when I'll be going off to class, so I can play Soldier. You'll know when I do.
There's one thing I can say about my lack of updates, just to keep you a little happy. Fewer posts, means things are okay. When I was in Korea, I'd post more often, because I needed an outlet. I don't need one as much, but that doesn't mean I will slack off because I can. I slack off because I'm lazy. And I'm working on it, promise.
Hmmm, what else. Oh, we're having Turkey Day here at the house. I invited someone, and it snowballed from there, so it's going to be a big production. I hope we can make it a good time.

I've decided to look into hypnosis as a project. I've always been fascinated by stage hypnotists, and I think I could have fun doing it. Not like a Vegas act, or anything, but as entertainment value. I think it goes back to my youth (I want to say 11 or 12) when I was listening to the radio late at night, and the show had a hypnotist that actually did an induction on-the-air. Since then, I've been to a couple hypnotits shows, and even tried my hand at it once in college (I got some people from the fraternity to fall asleep after watching Fight Club, but I didn't do anything else).

Oh, for all you sports fans, HA HA COLTS!!! Close game, but 2 TD passes in the last few minutes?!?! MAybe I'll get to keep my hair this year.
- - - -
So that's my latest update. Life varries from day to day, but usually only in miniscule ways. We did get a couple of ou new "friends" back to church this weekend. That was a mixed blessing. Godd that they got back, bad due to the reasons they left in the first place. We're planning on taking them again next week.

Sorry no Vnessa braces pictures yet. Se just found the charger for her camera, and is charging it. When it's good, I'll take a few, and post them - if she'll let me.
Take Care, and see you soon.
