Damn, brother, your doctor was prescribing you a Heath Ledger cocktail. I'm glad you're doing well for yourself now, though, I remember you always seemed to do insane amounts and combinations of drugs that left me looking like
at your posts.
I'm alright, Sega, stressed the fuck out lately, though. I was set to go to MEPS on October 9th to get a physical and all that good stuff you have to go through before you enlist. Was well on the path of becoming a Marine.
I won't give all the details, but September 20th I helped a "friend" find some bud who turned out to be a confidential informant. Got popped for weed possession (constructive because it was in my car, I knew about it and middle-manned the deal-- I didn't get distribution because I never touched the drugs or the money, I let the person I thought I was helping out handle all that) and was unlucky enough to have a Tylenol 3 and a Vicodin in my pocket when the police swarmed my car.
I won't get the max, my lawyer and I are positive on that, but in all if the judge throws the book at me I could do 9 years in prison and get slammed with $51,000 in fines, not to mention court and lawyer fees. I'm hoping my lawyer can negotiate with the DA and try to reduce the charges to something lesser like disorderly conduct that I could plead guilty to. It was terrible timing and terrible decision-making on my part, but I go so far back with the dude that was snitching that it never crossed my mind that he was playing both sides of the field.
Seriously, I want to become a Marine. That's been my goal for a year and a half right now, I was just waiting to earn my degree before I enlisted. Graduated with an Associate's in May, spent all Summer getting healthy and fit enough to be able to coast through basic training and then this bullshit happened about 3 weeks before my MEPS date. Eh, that's Life, though, she'll throw you a curveball the one time you're positive they're about to lob a straight 60mph pitch directly over home plate. I'll get past it and move on, but the whole situation is loomin' large over my head right now.
Congrats on your daughter, though! That's awesome, bro, hopefully she doesn't have your hair turnin' gray yet. ^_^
