As of last weekend, I learned that Lance Corporal Bill Swenson of the United States Marines will be stationed in Kandahar, Aghghanistan for a three month duration. after these threee months he will be "off" for three more months before going into a longer stay in an even heavier military "Hotspot."
Bill, if you are reading this, stay safe, motha f*cka! I'm always thinking of ya! When you get back we're gonna do A8 up old school style, the way it was created to be. We're all thinkin' of ya and hope for the best. So do what you gotta do and get back safe so we can raise some pure hell! alright? Be safe, Brother Bill!
Peace!

Well, Bill didn't listen! unfortuantely, he was injured by a landmine about half a month ago. Nothing too serious, but he injured his forearm and foot in the explosion. he did come back home for a weekend, one of which i unfortunately could not be part of due to previous engagements. I did get to talk to him, though, and he sounded alright. BUT NEXT TIME, BILL, GIVE ME A FOREWARNING SO I CAN BE THERE, DAMMIT!!!!
There i was sitting on the registers up front when in she walked. A beautiful blonde with fire in her step and a twinkle in her eys. As my jaw dropped i saw she was wearing a name badge...Lisa it read. As i gave her the once over i noticed her badge was a cashier. hmmm i asked myself what's a classy broad like her doin in a place like this. I had to wonder. Later on, i found out she was the sister of the infamous Doug Wright of Lawn and Garden. That's when it all began....
I trained lisa in the art of cashiering, and was invigorated by her beauty evey day i saw her. Now she never really spoke to me so i thought i never had a chance. The days went by and the beautiful gril went back to college. A year passed and i became more familiar with Wal Mart and it's crew. Summer began anew and i was feeling good. When again in she walked.
She walked into my life again. We got off to a good start that summer. We talked and passed notes everynow and then to pass the time. We sometimes took breaks together. Well now, a fellow cashier named Matt Evans had asked me to go on a double date with him so he could meet our friend Amanda's friend. So after some time i reluctantly agreed. Now two days later on the night i am supposed to go out on this "date", Lisa comes and asks me a question. She wanted to know if I wanted to attend a "Porn Party" with her and doug to celebrate his birthday. My heart sank. I really wanted to go but had this "date" to go on. So i thought i'll do both. I managed to stammer out the words yyeeessss. I got directions and was soo excited. Now, I knew Doug and was fairly good friends with him at the time, but i didn't know anyone else that well and was a bit skeptical. However, i know lisa was going to be in attendance so....
The party was being thrown at Mike Bello's house. I knew mike as an aquantaince but not really atll that well. (how my life changed after that night) Well i start the night off with a strange drink made by the famous Brian Richford. It was St. Ides with whiskey, vodka and beer. Joel told everyone that i would drink anything. So i had proceeded to chug away. Then came Doug and his double shot of whiskey and vodka. No chaser of course. Lisa told him to take it easy on me cause i was a lightweight. (that changed drasticaly after Doug's boot camp, another story) So being Doug we kept throwing them back. After Mike had kicked everyone out we all headed back to Lisa and Doug's house. (bad idea) Where everyone wanted to cut me off, prolly cause i was wasted. Lisa would have nothing of it and she kept passing me drinks. I took whatever; beer, wine, shots, anything. well, after that night i was hooked. On lisa and alcohol. hehe. So i started my illustrious career at apartment 8A and took my formal roll on the seat of the Sausage Crew round table.
