Well, I'll be damned. The barkeep had my vanilla coke ready as I got here. That's damn neat. Training for the big MHACF event next week starts tomorrow. I'm curious to see just how big this organization is and its reach since it's supposed to have big wigs from the city there. I finally started to grow out some facial hair for once since being out of JROTC. I get the impression I should shave it for the event; although, hopefully by next week it'll be a bit more solid and I figure out a good way to clean up the look. The gruff is 2 weeks in. It is a momentous occasion. I can see it now. I'll be the manliest man that ever lived once my beard is at full length. Gusts of wind will gaily race through my bearded locks as herons descend from clouds to lift me from the retention pond out back, away to the blazing sun. Rays of light shattering the heavens beguiled by such luxury shall reflect its brilliance for all the world to see. Snaps out of daydream I should have made a point to get to class on time today.... Having summer courses really makes me like I'm perpetually forgetting something important since I'm not in "full school mode." Filling up my time with books is harder than I thought growing up with all these electronics. On that front, with regards to online dating, I actually got woo'd after changing my profile around and adding more description. Who woulda thunk it. The outcome was not my cup of tea, to my disappointment, ultimately.
