Hi all, and WELOCOME to my live journal. Here's a lil info about me. My name is James aka "diemos" to my online buddies, im a 23 yr old that looks 19 and act 12.... sometimes hehe, In actuality, i guess im kinda an adult now. Im a "SOLDIER" in the US army. *HOOAH!* but im not some loud GI yellin at cute gurls and carrying gun magazines. In life i guess im less of a soldier and more of ur typical anime male charater who shyly waves at gurls and carries a sketch book. So enough of that, My hobbies consist of manga, anime, drawing, playing tennis, video games, cosplaying and going to anime conventions, i am currently single and i guess looking for true love *lol* or false love, which ever comes first. But i can tell ya this much, in live i love the usual stuff like god and family. But there is nothing more important to me than my friends, they mean the world to me and i appreciate that they put up with me... i would do anything for them, even if had to, i'd die for them. Maybe thats why im a soldier. Anywayz enjoy
My friends and I have a saying, "LIVE, LAUGH, AND LOVE" these three simple words are the foundations that exist in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.
"LIVE" likely the most complicated one to acheive despite we all live day to day. To live is what we do to make ends meet, wether its relying on our parents for money, going to college, working a job you love or hate. It's what we do, so we can afford to do the other two L's.
"LAUGH" Simply what we do and who we know that makes us smile. It's the good part of life, time with your friends, going places and seeing things that appeal to you and yours. It's why we live day to day, so we can spend whenever we can being with others who we call "friends"
"LOVE" The most important one of all. We all Love our friends, but the significant other in our lives, is the person that ties all L's together. Only this person will make your heart skip a beat, make you blush with a single word, make you feel nervous at a glance, while at the sametime holding this person puts you at ease, makes you feel safe, and of course loved... Its the one person that you just want to be with all the time. This is the hardest of the 3 L's to obtain.

Well the week leading up to the kon was hell for me (view last few posts) but i got through it and left on time with energy from justins house for katsucon around 10 in the morning. The trip was fast paced and we made great time, despite getting lost in D.C. where i had to use combat driving tactics to stay behind glenn lol. Upon arriving not much went on, we visited the agents, where i showed my gentlemen side and helped carry stuff to their room. We toured the underground crystal city, chatted with some other con-goers. Justin got his staff badge and never staffed of course. Knocked back a few and passed out around midnight. Awoke with the quickness in the early morning then me and glenn jumped into the reg line early on so we could start enjoying the kon. Did some sightseeing, visited the dealers room, and most importantly got a vip badge for the PLC concert. Reiko and others were most jelous lol ^^ Did questing and then drank a little to get our spirits up for the concert. It rocked hardcore until 2am then i passed out from all the drinking and screaming i did at the concert. lol but atleast we got some pics of our RE stuff before the night was out. 10 a.m saturday justin and me went to the Resident evil photoshoot which was awsome. We took some quality shots for bout an hour then dispursed. ^^ sooo happy lol then i changed out into my PoT jacket. Ran around the kon all day hanging with friends, taking some pics and getting into some trouble. Took more than a couple pix in my Pot jacket, People just assumed i was oeishi and wanted some pics, i even got spotted outta the jacket as oeishi(guess someone recognized that i do that cosplay at every kon) Evening drug on, hungout with shelby and meagan for a little bit. Went to the dance, partied, quested with my group, drank just a little lol. Later on took shelby to visit the agents, where she ditched me in the hall. Reiko said i couldnt come in cause the ladies we're half naked, but they let shelby in( reiko- "^^ you cant come in cause you have a winky.") gee thanx lol but oh well, i waited 5 minutes for shelby and decided she no longer required my services. Went to the room where we hungout and watch FMA then i passed out. heh Sunday packed up, walked around, chatted alittle with this and that, then did the concert again, and it rocked even harder, i could tell the band was alot more appreciative of how pumped up the fans were unlike the lack of energy on friday, i tried taking some in the dark photo's but alas, when u buy diposable, you dont buy quality.... afterwords, said our goodbyes and departed. Got back in town in under 4 hours. we watched constantine... AWSOME MOVIE and thats it in a nut shell, course crazier stuff happened that are bloggable, but im dead tired so just ask me if you wanna know. Hope that i see everyone or perhaps even more at the AMA like "the agents" they're really cool, and one if them is just sooo damn beautiful and steph was awsome too i hope i meet her again >< well thats enough outta me.

PFC James+army +pmaf= SWAT TEAM
the terrorist alert level for Ft. eustis has been raised from alpha to bravo... PMAF (provost marshall augmentation force) which is basically Ft.eustis SWAT which im part of, has been activated to counter any kind of insurgence from terrorists cells. Only my luck this would happen right before i go on leave for katsucon... im still going becuase i have someone to cover down for me while im gone, but none the less, we'll be active 24hours a day, which means the next couple days before i go to katsucon, ill be terrorist hunting..... thats terrorist for ya, they just had to make the last couple days before katsu a nightmare for me, i hope i find them, cause im gonna open a can of wupass on them

looks like im going to the sandbox
First off, heres a breif look into my day today, ( this is LEAD 1 to Charlie 3, deploy breach team over- roger LEAD 1, this is charlie 3 breach team dismounted, prceeding to lead vehicle over- charlie 3 LEAD 1 thats a good copy- ME- LEAD 1 LEAD 1 this is breach team! we're taking fire on our left flank, request coverfire! fire for full effect over! Roger breach team, LEAD 1 all vehicles dismount and set up perimeter and engage enemy over! ME- LEAD 1 we're taking casualties over!) doesnt that "sound like fun" pfft! whatever.
FORSCOM is planned out for a major 24 battalion shift over to iraq by the end of summer early fall. It'd seem the entire battalion or most of our elements from our battalion will be deploying to continue our efforts in "operation iraqi freedom" Since im now a licensed humvee driver, its very possible ill be doing mostly convoy ops. Its dangerous but thats ok. this is the way of things and i have no regrets.

Week before a kon is always busy busy busy -_-;
Well it happens before every convention.... the army just wants to make my life a living hell before letting me cut loose and have some fun. This week ive been doing f.r.g breifings, p.m.a.f breifings and pre-deployment breifings, and my head is about to explode >< tomarrow im sure it'll be a full day again, but im just trying to keep my eye on the ball and get throught it all.... At the pre-deployment breifing (no im not getting deployed...anytime soon) they just went over some family issues and such, the biggest news is deployments will happen... some in the summer, and perhaps a good portion of our battalion in the fall... but in the army all you can do is just wait and see what they throw at you. Its late tho, i should head off to bed. Just felt like doing a short update.... busy week, and its only wednesday. -sigh- oh well 5 more working days to dredge through then i take my week off vacation. until next time ^^ oh and fill me in on weekend plans... cause shooot i dunno

lone, bakaneko, chibi and diemos go to white castle
Ok... we really didnt... but im watching "harold and kumaar go to white castle" and its sooo freakin funny. Friday i had the day off.... well for the most part. There was that 4 mile run we had to do... it really fsucked. I caught up on stuff before leaving base. Like laundry and what not. left and picked up chibi and baka neko. Went to the mall... chibi wasnt in the best of moods, and i guess our constant harrassment of him didnt help.. he even was threatening kickin us outta the room... lol yeah, but soon he relized how big the price difference would be, not to mention shelby is on our side, and she'd stop making his cosplay stuff if he threatened up again.. lol (shelby rox sox!) had to take shelby home before her curfew, then we ventured to "forest drake inn" to hangout a little bit with justin... well we were actually there from 1130 to 3 am. XD but oh well Sunday's suck as usual i watched troy, then headed out. Stopped off at lone's house to pickup my stuff i left dere, then went to movieland to rent some stuff and chat it up with chibi, now im back here ending my weekend.... im sure this next week of work will go by slow for me since its the last full week of work before katsu ! cant wait. XD well thats it... more to follow

Hardwork finally pays off! ^^
Harro!!! Well if you read my last couple posts, you can see ive been quit stressed out -_-; the mission we've been tryin to accomplish was completed at 1730 hours yesterday. HIZZAH! The mission in case you didnt know, was to remove over 100 causeway peices from 3rd port utilizing only 1 crane, 1 kalmar, and 1 truck over the course of 2 weeks... keep in mind, the lightest piece of causeway weighs in at 15,000 pounds. This task has taking away from our breakfast and lunch breaks, and has kept us working 1 to 2 hours late each day =p but 2nd platoon did it, we worked hard and we're commended by our higher ups for an outstanding job well done. Today the commander stopped me himself to thank me for my tireless efforts, he even remembered my name XD without my name tags =P for our efforts, 2nd platoon especially the crain krew will recieve a 3 day weekend! so i got friday off, which means ill be back thursday evening. I may stop by ODUAC to pick up Chibi's room harrassment fee from samantha. lol but likely wont stay unless i see something that makes me wanna stay. (dont read to much into that last comment XD) But yeah, hit up mah celly yo! and lets do things ^^ so as to not waste my 3 day weekend. Looking forward to looking back on happy memories

-sigh- right now, i just feel... nothing ^^
Last couple days ive been pretty tired. Didnt do much this weekend, we finished up late on friday but thankfully we didnt have to come in on the weekend.... I couldnt and didnt really try to find something to do on friday, my body was wore out that it didnt take me long to pass out upon returning home. Slept 10 hours before waking up, and woke up to a helluva headache. XP i showered hungout at home for a little bit then ventured to Lone's house. Woke him up lol, but eh! he has no job, so no sleepy for you Lone! hungout as david downloaded some newly released anime in japan, i went to the mall and purchased "golden boy" ! stop off at chibi's work to get him the room money, then went back to lone's house, decided to watch "hide and seek" but not before draggin Baka neko outta the hizzy. Pretty good movie overall but i was expecting a demon or some menevolent force of some kind, but i wont give away the movie. Went back to davids house and watched the last 2 episodes of "golden boy" XD and then we got bored... so i decided to look up boring stuff on the internet and came across a website proclaiming bill gates is the anticrist! =[ LOL he had some proof to back up his theory, like how in numeric code his full name adds up to 666, his windows stuff some how does the same, and like WWW is also a clue and how the windows sign is his cross on the world and blah blah blah but im sorry but bill is a geek, and i wouldnt follow some nerd to the end of the world. so yeah, then we looked at bloopers of ppl crashing off their skateboards or jackass pranks, then before we knew it the sun was about to rise, so of course i had to get the nocternal one back to his lair, before the rising of sun then upon near death myself i drove home nearly falling asleep several times. Sunday and im procrastinating about getting back to base, because we worked so late friday, this weekend feels especially short.... but hey the first is on tuesday, then its only 2 short weeks roughly before my small vacation and katsucon. Looking forward to it very much so! ^^ I didnt get a chance to spend this weekend with other ppl, but hopefully ill see them next wkend. anywayz, more to come later bai bai!

Hey all! Howz everyone doing... havent talked much to anyone last day or two.... in all likely hood its due to the fact that when im asleep is when everybody is on... And they're ppl i do really wanna talk to but, unfortunately with the amount of work ive been having to do lately, i find myself falling unconscious around 830 XP its already friday and we still have so much more work to accomplish before this mission is even close to over and the possibility of working saturday is becoming even more and more a reality >=P -sigh- so all and all this week has done a number on my body and my spirit, not to mention its freakin cold! So anywayz, the cell phone is on and im taking calls, so please do hit me up, i just may be around....... After this kinda work load im going to need a little r and r with friends... so call me
