The Last Big Bang

Well that was it. I'm finally 25 years old! I think of 25 as the last big bang. If you really think about it....18 is gambling and voting, 21 is going out to all the good clubs and bars, and 25 your insurance goes down. Other than that there's no more hoo-rahs. Of course there is 65 when you get to collect your social security but I honestly do not believe that system is going to be around when I grow old. It's already in shambles and I still got 40 years to go. With my luck It'll go away when I'm 64 after I've paid into it my whole life.

But to tell you the truth........I don't want to live that long.

Ride Along

Thursday night I got a taste of what the police life would be. It was a simple intro really. One of my good friends is a cop in a small quite suburb. Well I guess I couldn't call it small and quite. It's surrounded by alot of other communities and everything is well mashed together so it's only a stones throw away between small towns and big towns.

Anyways my friend invited me along for an 8 hour cruise to see what it's like. It was a good time and all but once again I feel like it's too structured for me. I need a little time after the Corps to live my life without a leash. All in all it was a good time. I still have plenty of time to think about what I want to do after the Corps.

Strange Dreams

Lately I've been having some really strange dreams. Best part about them is that they're really long and theatrical. They're like little miniature movies. I'm actually beginning to look forward to sleeping at night just to see what I'll dream next.

The one that 's really sticking out in my mind is the one from 3 nights ago. Some strangers and myself were cruising around in outer space in a 78 lincoln continental. We were looking for a particular planet that was home to a particular breed of rabbits known to roll the best cherry cigars in the galaxy. So somehow we finally get one and we're all sitting there watching this rabbit but all it keeps rolling is blunts.

Funny thing about the whole dream that I realized later that everyone was afraid to grab the joint. They just kept throwing it away and telling the rabbit to roll another one. What's funnier is that I didn't even grab it. I haven't done that stuff in years. I'm a guy cruising arount the galaxy in a space ship shaped like a 78' lincoln continental.....like I'm getting piss tested in space.
