So I just looked to see when the time comes to stop using my subliminal. I started on 02/02/2022. That would mean it'd have been a full year by 02/02/02023 and another half a year by... last night. D'oh! I think tonight shall be my last night using UH. I want to get Money Magnet!
I could REALLY use some money and this is just perfect timing.
So here's some updates on my situation:
I was struggling to pay rent and having to stretch a meal a day when they severely cut my hours at work. My weight dropped down to 116 pounds and I just BARELY scraped up enough money to avoid eviction. All the drama surrounding this shit caused things to blow up between myself and my brother, and years of pent up resentment over abusinve treatment lead to me permanently disowning my brother and kicking him out of my life. I know that sounds fucked, but I was relieved by his lack of repentance or even admission of any wrongdoing whatsoever because it means I don't have to try to think of a way he can redeem himself and earn his way back into my life. He doesn't want it. After kicking him out of my life, I felt so good the next day, everything turned around! Now I get 20 hours a week at work, I am eating pretty good (not fancy, but 3 meals a day) and I was told by my manager I'm doing a really good job!
Still, I took responsibility for things I'd been doing wrong at work, decided to turn my work habits around and bust my ass all shift from here on out. I also have been pursuing my life-long dream of being in the military because I've decided I believe in myself now and now is the time. Been seeing signs everywhere, though I do not want to go into detail because that could be against the rules. I talked to my recruiter, told her the truth about my age and psychiatirc history and I am now in the process to get a waiver. Cut-off point for joining the Army before needing an age waiver is 35. I am 34 LOL.
I want to be a 68W (medical specialist) and a Line MEdic in particular. Hopefully, I can get stationed in Ft. Campbell, because they have a gym called the Real Fighter's Gym in Louisville nearby, which teaches both Muay Thai AND Dutch Kickboxing! These are arguably the two best striking styles to use as a base in MMA!
Anyway, if I can't get stationed in Ft Campbell (101st airborne) then I want to see if I can get into the 82nd Airborne in Ft. Bragg, which I'd be nervous about because I'd have to get over my fear of jumping out of planes. Or, my third location request on the list would be Ft Polk (10th Mountain) which is in Louisiana. Those guys are one of the harder hitting units in the army. 82nd is still the best conventional unit, and the 173rd (in Vincenza Italy) and the 25th (in Alaska) are both high speed as well, but out of the leg (non-airborne) units, 10th mountain (especially the guys in Ft. Polk) is the hardest one.
All of these places have good martial arts training nearby and they all can get access to lots of good schools in the army to learn kickass soldier stuff.I might get stationed somewhere else though. Those are just what I'll request. Hopefully I can get into the 187th Infantry Reg in the 101st as a line medic, specifically! That'd be dope! They're the best unit at Ft Campbell excluding Special Forces! And if Line medic doesn't work out, I can become a flight medic! Those guys LOVE their jobs!
Anyway, I gotta get waivered first and that's a process. Since I've got time anyway (I'll be on the delayed entry program) I decided to also go see Pantera for a second time (they'll be coming to SLC soon with Lamb of God! \m/) and then the Babyklok (Babymetal and Dethklok) show also in SLC! It'll be dope AF!
Haven't seen Babymetal since 2019, saw Pantera in May for the first time in myu life (which I NEVER thought I'd be able to do with the Abbot brothers dead) and NEVER seen a Dethklok or Lamb of God show, so I'm excited! However, before I can pay for my tickets, I DO need to pay dental bills I got just yesterday. Still though, one more paycheck and it should be ALL good in the hood!
I'll pay for groceries with Plasma donations and I'll save up money from my job to pay for rent after that! should work!
Then, when I can, I want to purchase Money Magnet! Lord knows I could use some of that, if you haven't noticed from what I've written so far LOL
Oh! Also, I am no longer letting my family handle any of my medical stuff, insurance or anything like that. I decided to take responsibility for all these things myself, which is daunting, but rewarding. I should have never let them handle things for me in the first place, and now I don't. It's time I grew up and started taking care of myself! I also refuse to take handouts anymore. I want to earn my way in life. Although I AM still living in low income housing and using Medicaid LOL so I guess those are temporarily the two exceptions. But I will stop with both once I get into the Army! Then from that point on, no handouts!
