This SA is in SA...
I been in San Antonio for a week now. Nothing exciting yet. All corpsmen students are on hold for at lease a month, so I will be here for an additional month. I was told reservists usually get pushed forward but that is not the case for me. I will be starting with my fellow active duty counterparts on March 8.
More on this at a later date…. I am exhausted and it’s Friday night ;)

As I write this, tear descend like gravity
It’s my last night in the good old house. Although it is past 2 am, I still cannot sleep. Nervousness and excitement fill my lungs, and heart, and breath. I have waited nine months for this. Before my recruiter comes to pick me up at 11 am tomorrow, I still have to soak in my bath tub for a few minutes to remember the last good old days of civilian life.
As I close my one of my last tumblr...
My Last Day.
Until I give up humanity.

Reflections.
I strolled the aisles today looking for last minute gift ideas for Christmas. Last minute? But its still the beginning of December, you say. Not for me. In one week, I ship out for basic training for the United States Navy. Thus far, my whole week is packed. People are frantic, and I am ready. With just a few last minute things to double check, my adventure begins. I would be lying if I said I...

Nostalgia's got the best of me. (version two)
Went shopping today on my own accord (a big step for Brooke into becoming a cultured adult in society). As I walked down aisle after aisle to find this Christmas’s hottest toy, I couldn’t help but stumble upon the pinkest aisle in the store.
Growing up, Barbie was my girl. She was the preferred toy, and one of my greatest friends. She was everything I wanted to be. She married the...

Days of Thankfulness: Day 03
Thank you to all the members of the United States Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Navy for their continued service in protecting our nation. I am thankful for their continued dedication. From one future sailor to another, I find it to be the greatest honor to serve the great country of the USA. So thank you, vets, for everything you do.

Day One of Giving Thanks.
Is it nerdy of me to start off my very first thankful post by saying I am thankful for books? I figured I could start small and gradually grow larger.
Books have helped be through the most arduous of times; as well as some of the most joyful times. To me, books put into words what I wish life could be, and what sometimes it is. Books color my imagination. Whether it’s a magazine, a poetry...

30 days of things I am thankful for.
I am starting this before I get too far behind, but lately while I meditate on the word, God has really been placing on my heart to count my many blessings and be thankful for the little things in life. Thanksgiving is coming up, so I find this blog to be festively appropriate.

Part 2 - correct mechanics
What will become of our dear sister
when she leaves the red barn door
meandering sideways on a two-lane straight-away
from chaos and catastrophe in exchange for
a veiled equivalent she will never see.
The life she walked, and the life shes walking
towards can be seen as one parallel path.
But I guess that how it goes when you are born into adversity.

Setting In.
I’m on a wing and a prayer.
I feel you here, there and everywhere.
Yet when I stare
out the door
at the floor
down the corridor
you are not with me.
I will miss you.
Super bummed about my ceramics project. Was hoping for some better footings, but with no such luck. pray that God give me the strength to carry on!
Finished my fiction project.
Need someone to edit it for mechanics. Any takers? I can email it to you.
So pissed beyond comprehension right now.
Sobbing.
Yelling.
Crying.
Kicking.
Punching.
Anger.
Swearing.
Hitting.
