Stepping Stone

“Please tell your government and everyone in your office to go fuck themselves.”

Haha...my sentiments exactly! Kinda. So, I've been thinking a lot lately. I'm 22, right? Yeah, I am. Army cut-off age is 42. I got twenty years of eligibility left. I should get out of Michigan and get a real job. Or another degree. I was looking online earlier today and found a shit-ton (that's a lot in the metric system) of openings for Border Patrol Agents...Hmm...It's a phsyically demanding job (for the most part), would be in an area that I got my degree in (Criminal Justice), and is in National Security (Customs and Border Protection is now part of the Department of Homeland Security). I figure I could put in some time doing that, save some cash, gain residency in Texas (where they're hiring), then apply for grad school at Texas A&M to get my Masters in International Affairs with a concentration in National Security Affairs. After all that, I could then re-try for the military and still be relatively young. I'm just trying to have a backup plan, ya know? My body can only take so much of one thing at a time...

...oh, and I went to a bodybuilding show this past week. I got bit by the competition bug. I could do that shit. Man, there was this one girl on stage in the figure division that should not have been there. She had to be a good 170lbs and sitting at well over 30% body fat. She had no defintion whatsoever! It was sickening. I wanna know who told her she looked good enough to get on stage in a figure suit (ever seen those things!?). I mean, I'm in better shape than she is! OH! If I did do a show, it would be a drug-tested one. I couldn't hang with the 'roided up shemales. There was one sitting behind me and I swear at first I thought she was a gay male with whacked-out fashion sense. Hell, even when she talked, she sounded like a gay guy. It wasn't until her friends started calling 'her' Rose that I realized she was infact a 'she' who happened to be on steroids. I kid you not, she looked like Chris Kattan's Saturday Night Live character, Mango - that is, if Mango did steroids:



Apparently she was 2005 Novice Michigan Bodybuilding Champion...

The two shows I've considered doing are in late September and early October. Maybe. I talked to my friend, who's a competitor, and he's offered to help with the diet and training if I'm serious about it. We'll see. Maybe.
