California Kings, United States Marines, and dogs who poo

Today Josh and I went to Ducky’s (a guy he plays airsoft with) US Marine Corps graduation party. The neighborhood was a little dodgy but his family had a cute little house at the end of a street and it was a nice party. They had the back yard all set up with USMC colors and Ducky was in his uniform (it has a name but I can’t remember what it is and Josh is asleep so I can’t ask). Josh and Ducky talked for quite awhile about bootcamp and all the fun things that you have to go through in boot camp. I think that Ducky was happy to have somebody who knew what he had just gone through other than the guys who had gone through it with them. I have the utmost respect for the military, but in all honesty I will never understand why somebody would voluntarily join up. Being in the military means giving up so much of yourself and putting it in somebody elses hands. I just dont’ know how you can do this. But I guess maybe its not for me to understand. I am thankful that there are people who can do it….I am just not one of them and I’m ok with that.

On the way home Josh and I stopped and picked up the season DVD’s of Futurama at his house, grabbed some dinner and headed home. When I first started dating him I was like OMG he watches cartoons…this is not good. But now I’m the one who is always like “ohhhhhhh Futurama is on”. Its a good show…and if you haven’t seen it, you need to.
