    Forgot I Had One Of These...
    So, yeah really haven't been on here and a bit, ma bad
    Things are good, final tests are just around the corner
    My Oral Proficiency Interview (or OPI for short) is next
    week Thursday.
    Got Listening and Reading Tests on the Monday and Tuesday
    after that, so hopefully all will end up well.

    Let's see, ah yes, my car. Runs good, finally got used to
    the whole stick shift (took awhile) Would like to repaint
    it to black or blue or something, cause when i think white,
    four dour, honda civic... I think "girl car" Also may look
    into grabbing some new speakers down the road, put that
    King Kong in my trunk.

    So definately missing home, of course. May be home for Memorial
    Day weekend, mainly for my Grandpa's and Maeg's B-day partys,
    and of course to visit the rest of ya'll that are lucky enough
    to still be my friends :)

    Right now, basketball season is good, we're 2nd in our division,
    3rd in the league, with playoffs right around the corner. Still
    an Airmen Leader, and a matter of fact, I get a rank promotion at
    the end of July. My title thus becoming "Senior Airmen"

    After I graduate from here, I'll drive down in our little convoy
    of 4 cars down to Texas and prolly only be there for a good month,
    month and a half. After that head off to Survival School training
    in Washington State, where there'll be plenty of running, hiding,
    beatings, killing cute bunnies :( , and eating of those cute bunnies.
    Then after a month of that, I'll head on over to Offit AFB in Nebraska,
    where I'll finally start my job, woot!

    So, for those of you who cared to know what's going on with me and
    what's to come, there ya have it. I hope to see ya'll soon (before
    Christmas break god willing) and keep in touch.

    Day of the Turkey, Day of Crazy Shopping, And The Days to Come
    Thanksgiving was good. Drove with Mandy to The Del Monte Center (Monterey's
    equilvalent to Lakeside) only to relize everything but starbucks is closed.
    So that was a bust, just came back and putzed around until it was time to
    head over to a mutal friend, Moore's house. Alot of married people, met a
    few new peeps, had some good eats, (of course I beat everyone out on GAC:
    Gross Amount Consumed)

    Day after, not that bad actually. Only we didn't go to the crazy busy stores.
    Took Mandy to go shopping, she spent crazy amount of cash on stuff. Treated
    her to Lunch, and she hooked me up with some Starbucks. Headed to Target and
    grab some groceries for the house and headed back. Putzed around until we
    busted out to my buddy's going away bonfire. Beer = Happy Andy :) Didn't get
    too drunk... nah i went the route of the baby bear: not too sober, not too
    drunk, juuuuust right :) So we grabbed a hotel, poor sober sheila, ah well
    that what she gets for being innocent. Woke up in the middle of night, gave
    myself a self-sobriety test, all set to go. Drove home, ahhhhh my own bed.
    gotta love it. Though had to wake up the next morning and pick up the "still
    a bit drunk" friends of mine.

    Grabbed some breakfast with the crew, drove them to their cribs, and head
    back home. Dreading today, i have this crazy thing that i for some stupid
    reason volunteered for at four. I have to march all these new and people
    being punished to do clean up work all over the base. After that, I have
    about an hour before i have dormitory guard for four hours: 10 to 2 am.
    So looking forward to all that jazz.

    Sunday, day of rest. Want to see that new Bond movie. We'll see.

    Turkey Day Weekend
    So this week for class, we only had 3 days to deal with. Though two of them were
    days packed full of tests. Wednesday was crazy hard, listening and reading. Ugggh.
    But I think I did aight. Wednesday night I did a bunch of crap, only not really.
    Like I did a bunch of menial stuff:

    Got to play basketball, Woot!! First time in about 5 months, been too busy with
    soccer and football season. Felt really good though, and I still got the skills.

    After that hit the punching bag. Definatly hit the spot. Unprevoked drama, hard
    to avoid but when you got a punching bag, fun to release. Not only that, few
    things here and there that have kind of faded away. Starting to get used to it
    though. But once in awhile, it hits hard and that's when the punching bag comes in.

    Ran back home, showered, got a car for this weekend, woot! Drove around and just
    reflected some more, just this time not hitting shyt lol. Music while driving is
    key.

    Came back, pool while doing some laundry. Hits me, this is the first night in awhile
    where i've been by myself and just chilled, did my own thing. Good to have one of
    those once in awhile.

    Can't wait to come home. Sister and step mom have had some tiffs here and there and
    played mediator. Welcome to the grand ol' time of 18 amanda lol. Miss her though,
    and rachel. Which reminds me, I have to go christmas shopping sometime soon. Kinda
    weird cause I have no idea when I get home who I'll be cool, hanging out with when
    I get home. Like, people who I would buy gifts for before, kinda just blew away.

    Anywho...

    Home is less than a month around the corner. Can't wait. Alot of friends I've made
    here are up and leaving, done with class and stuff. Weird to think that I may never
    see them again. Eh, that's something about the Air Force that one has to adjust to.

    Happy Turkey Day to all, and to all, a good fat ol' belly full of food.

    Home Sweet Home
    Feels good to be home ladies and gents. Flew in last
    saturday and headed straight from the airport to my
    lil sister's soccer game. She won 1 to nothing. Go
    her! She's kinda timid when she plays, but she'll
    pick up at it. She's got that Prescott energy!!!

    After the game, me and the family got together and
    ate at Good ol' Red Robin. That was a good time;
    though something bugs me everytime i'm either on the
    phone with family or friends or even face to face.
    I have to keep repeating information that I've said
    in the past over and over and over and over again.

    For ex: Everytime I see family, they always ask me
    "Oh, so you're still in california... that's cool.
    WHERE DO YOU GO AFTER THAT" My god, no joke, I've
    told just about every single family memeber the same
    ol' speech about 88 times by now. CRAZY!!! But, it
    still feels good to see 'em all.

    After dinner on saturday, Kristina picked me up and
    I headed over to her house to hang out with her and
    her sister. Her birthday was on the 25th so it was
    cool to hang out and catch up a bit. Saw her 'rents
    as well, both fine and dandy. Always good to hang w/
    the briggs fam.

    Next day, Lunch and Costume browsing with Kristina
    and Lisa. Aparetnly, everyone has this image of me,
    like i'm some "ladies man" and all that hub-bub.
    That's all fine and dandy, but i have a very vital
    question if i'm to succeed in the role of a ladies
    man "WHERE ARE ALL MY LADIES?!?!?!?" What, did they
    lose their way? Having trouble finding the place? I
    don't know. I don't have a problem with people
    thinking that, I just wish it were true and I'd be
    living it up.

    Sun, mon, and tuesday have been mostly family.
    Treated my pops to the Jackass #2 movie. Friggin'
    hilarious of course. Those guys are insane, but hey,
    anything for a lil' entertainment right?

    Getting ready to head over to george's and then
    tomorrow Zoo and watching "Lost" witht the family.
    Haven't talked to maegan in about maybe 2 weeks now.
    Something's wrong with her phone, just hope it gets
    all settled before i leave. If not... well, this trip
    will have lost some of it's value.

    I BETTER SEE U PUNK!!!

    -Head Automatica**
    -Angels A Airwaves**
    -Taking Back Sunday

    **Freaking Awesome!!

    Saturday: Volunteered at The Read Bull Moto GP Races in Laguna Seca.
    Took a whole bunch of pictures with goreous promoter girls. Got a
    crazy dark tan. Had a good time with my peeps.

    Sunday: Church (that's right, I go there now) then went to the beach
    with my buddy and his wife, and not to mention, his ridiculously
    gorgeous cousin, Beth. Hopefully there'll be more entries with here in it
    **crosses fingers**.

    Excellent wheather this weekend. Finally look like I belong in Cali.
    'Bout time the sun came out to play. Asked out Beth, just a simple
    movie, I'll keep ya'll updated on that situation.

    Not this monday, but next monday, our team's first game in soccer. Practice
    has been going steady, and we're actually a well put together little team. I

    TAKING BACK SUNDAY!!!
    What a great show. Missed the Subways, but Angles and Airwaves and Taking Back Sunday played
    a great show. But, I thought Head Automatica was amazing. If you get a chance, definatly
    check them out.

    Tomorrow volunteering for the Red Bull Motorcycle Championships in Laguna Seca. Hope it's as
    dope as last years outing. Also finally gonna see that Pirates two movie and maybe Superman

    Ouchies... Round 2
    Friday night went to Marie's appartment with good friend Luc
    and him and I had a good time. It was cool meeting all her
    friends and a few of of her brothers. Woke up on Saturday
    after crashing their for the night. Came back to base and
    made an apptment to get waxed.

    Three friends from class came along and actually got it all
    on tape with Rory's camera. Got the whole front done. Not only
    that but the girl who was doing it was this gorgeous blonde
    who was like smoothly ripping (how do you like that for an
    oxymoron) my hair out 1,000 folicles at a time.

    After all said and done, I manned up to the challenge, dare,
    whatever you want to call it. But didn't leave empty handed.
    Ah yes, the humerous memory of my first waxing and a girl's
    number to boot. Not bad for a "hair-ripping" good time.

    everyone know I'm still alive. l8erz.

    You should never: Drink and dance. The pictures will be everywhere the next morning!

    Your ideal party: Is loud, with good music and fun drinking games.

    I'm Not A Player I Just Crush Alot... BOOOYAKASHA
    Been awhile. Be home in about 1 week 2 days from now.
    Excitement is the word for it all. Can't wait. Hopefully
    my peeps can squeeze me into their busy schedules.

    Today crazy thing happened. We had "Visitors" (i.e. important
    people from hight up, Command Seargant Majors of the Army and
    Officers of all ranks.) No pressure right, hah!

    Well supposedly our section, class B, is the Flagship of
    ME 1 (Middle Eastern School, there are three, ME 2 and ME 3)
    and they showed our little class of 10 off to these V.I.P.'s.
    Well, 3rd hour rolls around and The Comand Seargant Major of the
    Army comes with a Major, and some other lower ranking Seargants.
    Well he plops a seat next to me and I was told by our Cheif Military
    Training Leader that I'M TO TRANSLATE FOR HIM!!!

    Well, this was quit the shocker, but ya' can't say now to a Major. So
    our teacher, Ahmed, starts talking and I just starting translating the
    best I can. Honestly got about 88% of the words cause Ahmed is Sudanese
    has a little bit of a slir along with his extreme accent. But all went
    well.

    At the end of the hour, the seargant stands up and turns to me, shaking my
    hand saying "Thankyou for what you do here. With what you showed me today,
    it tells me that there will be a young promising translator such as yourself
    that I can use in the future. Thankyou." He pulls his hand away and I feel
    that there was a Military coin in my hand. "United States Army Intelligence:
    Oustanding Acheivement" is what it said. I was seriously, moved. One of the
    most coolest things that has happened to me so far in the military and it
    made me feel proud of what I've become.

    We Bring You Live To Andy Prescott In The Field... Andy...
    ... Thanks Jane. We have here an update of my
    live journal. Lets take a look:

    Me and the Civilian girlfriend broke up. No
    real drama excerted there so that was good.
    Still like to meet up one last time to kinda
    end things on a good note.

    Our football team blows lol. We lost one of
    best players cause of disciplinary issues. Our
    whole offense was based off the run and now that
    he's gone we got bum raped the past two games.
    But on the bright side I play offense now, only,
    sucks cause we don't win games anymore. Ah well.

    Just got done with Basketball practice an half
    hour ago. I'm a shoe in at the shooting guard
    position. We look pretty good, only the games
    aren't scheduled to acomidate our own personal
    schedules so there will be an inconsistancy in
    that sense.

    Don't know about the drill team. All but one of
    my friends quite it or left to go onto their new
    base. So it's not really as fun anymore, besides
    I may have to get rid of an elective so that I
    can contribute more time to class and studying.

    Had a date with one of my friends last night.
    Yeah, yeah, I know what your thinking and no.
    We just went out to dinner and got to know
    one another a little more. But over all I think
    the night made us closer friends. Yay for that!

    Class break is supposed to be March 03 - March 12
    but my MLI (Military Learning Instructor) told us
    that there may be some changes to that. So I have
    to hold off on buying my tickets which doesn't make
    them any cheaper. **crosses fingers**

    Well, Arabic is going fairly well and all is well in
    the drama dept. Excited about coming home, again,
    with it being a lil' warmer this time. Dat b 'bout it!

    5 More days Left...
    I booked my plane ticket tonight, leaving Sunday
    morning at 5:30. Gah, that'll be tons of fun.

    Well New Years was fun. Played Taboo and poker @
    Mike's and then headed of to Nick Rogers' house
    after the ball drop and crashed there for the
    night. It was good to hang with the old crew
    once again.

    Day of, some of us went laser tagging, played
    poker, and saw Kong (second time for me) then I
    headed over to George's and we did as we always
    do: Games, bad kung foo movies, and food.

    Left his house at nine pm tonight and came home
    to hang with the fam. Hehe, sisters have school
    tomorrow. Figure I might stop in to say high to
    some of my teachers, think they'd like that.

    Well, like I said, five days left 'till I'm
    shippin' back to California. You would think I
    would be a little more enthusiastic... I mean
    come'on California right? Well, I guess you can
    call me a sucker for friends and family... I'm
    gonna miss it all.

    But on a good note, when I get back I have
    Basketball tryouts and Football playoffs. So
    until next time... l8erz

    I'm Home!!!
    Phew it feels good to be home finally.
    The plane ride here was wicked long
    but I stuck through it and now I'm
    here. Saw that movie with Ben Aflak
    and that guy from the Sopranos, it
    helped pass the time I suppose.

    My and my sister came to pick me up
    at the Airport and we cought up on
    some stuff. We had some Denny's than
    came home and watched my First Piston's
    game of the season... sad I know.

    After that sha-bang, I came down here
    to my wonderful computer that I've
    missed these past nine months or
    however long it's been.

    Tomorrow some last minute shopping
    then hopefully see some of my peeps.
    Give me a call or e-mail or comment
    if anyone wants to get together while
    I'm home. L8erz.

    Three More Days...
    ... 'till I'm home. I'm bored out of my mind. So here are some funny, yet useless, random facts I found.

    More Monopoly money is printed yearly than real money throughout the world.

    "Almost" is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order.

    "Speak of the Devil" is short for "Speak of the Devil and he shall come". It was believed that if you spoke about the Devil it would attract his attention. That's why when you're talking about someone and they show up people say "Speak of the Devil."

    10 percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment.

    111, 111, 111 X 111, 111, 111 = 12, 345, 678, 987, 654, 321

    315 entries in Webster's 1996 dictionary were misspelled.

    One in ten people live on an island

    Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying

    A "hairbreadth away" is 1/48 of an inch.

    A "jiffy" is actually a proper time unit for 1/100th of a second

    A acre of coffee trees can produce up to 10,000 pounds of coffee cherries. That amounts to approximately 2000 pounds of beans after hulling or milling.

    A bee could travel 4 million miles at 7 mph on the energy it would obtain from 1 gallon of nectar, or it could just sit down on and enjoy that honey properly.

    A bowling pin only needs to tilt 7.5 degrees to fall.

    A broken clock is right at least twice a day.

    A Chicago law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.

    A day on the planet Mercury is twice as long as its year.

    A fly always jumps backwards for a quick getaway when you try to hit it.

    A giant squid has eyes that can grow up to 20 inches in diameter. (Now think of how big your computer screen is..)

    A hippopotamus can run faster than a man can.

    And....I'm spent. Well that was fun. I'm gonna go and sleep. L8er.

    Four More Days
    Yep that's right four more days b*tches. I thought this
    day would never come.

    The Marine Staff Seargant in my class is sitting right
    next to me: "Give me a shout out to all my peeps in my
    blog yo'" says he. He's from the south and I guess that
    live journals or "Blogs" are not very popular down there.

    So I guess Mrs. McCowen (can't spell sorry) is having a
    little get together at her lovely abode the night I get
    back. I'd love to say I'll be there but I can't make any
    promisses due to the fact that I am no longer in the
    possession of my own motor vehicle and I won't get to my
    house until midnight, midnight thirty. But let's cross
    our fingers.

    I spent my weekend with my good friend Maegan and her
    pops. It was good times, felt good to see someone from
    home. We took pictures, saw some sights, ate at some
    buffets, played some ski ball, and watched some movies.

    My plane ride back was delayed 4 hours which sucked
    monkey nuts because I was looking forward to spending
    time with my Marie but that wasn't happening. So in
    compensation... they gave me two bags of peanuts
    instead of one.

    Other than that, Arabic is going swell, Football team
    is at 5 wins and 3 losses, I'm the co-coreographer for
    the Air Force Drill team, and that's about it.
