Sailor's Code

I am a United States Sailor,

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me,

I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world,

I proudly serve my country's Navy combat team with Honor, Courage and Commitment,

I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all.

Well my going-away party is the 14th (next friday) and anyone who reads my xanga is invited. It starts at 7:00 and goes on til everyone decides 2 leave. I leave on the 23. If i dont get to see any of you, i wish u all the best of luck in everything u do and i will miss u dearly and u better come visit me after boot camp!!! I should be home around new years. If you want me to write you leave a comment that has your address in it and i will.

This will be my last entry before i leave so u probably wont see one for some time.

"May the wind forever be at your back and that you may dance among the stars"

God Bless

Well ive decided to finally update again.

As for those who do not know, I am leaving for the navy in about a month. I don;t care if this decision upsets you or not, all i am asking for is for peoples support.

Anyway, Ive been going and hitting with the girls during their tennis practices and watching their matches. They are a pretty good team this year and i bet at leat one of them goes to state.

Well im out

Derek

Hey All. Thought I'd update again.

Well I really like working at whirlpool and i love the money I'm making. Makes me happy.

On anothr note, I went to the doctor's and he told me that I have asthma and that I need to get a bone scan done on my ancle. It's been hurting me like a bitch lately and he thinks i may have a stress fracture.

Other than that there is not much else going on in the amazing world of Derek Taylor. I'll leave you all with one of my favorite songs.

"Head Like A Hole"

got money i'll do anything for you.
got money just tell me what you want me to.
got money nail me up against the wall.
got money don't want everything he wants it all.

 
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me

head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.
head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.


bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.
bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.

got money's not looking for the cure.
got money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure.
got money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
got money's not one to choose

no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me

head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.
head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.

bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.
bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.

you know who you are.

Wow havnt updated in a long time.

Well for all of u who dont know i got kicked out of my house about a week ago and i am in the process of getting my own place. I got a job at whirlpool and i am taking a year off from school to save money.

Also me n Beth broke up. Was for the best i believe.

Me n Brian started boxing as well. I kinda suck but i think im starting to get the hang of it.and of course ive been playing immense amounts of tennis.

Well thats all for now

Derek

Well a lot has happened lately so ill start from the top.

First off, I FINALLY GRADUATED!!!!!!!! It was full of mixed emotions. I mean, im happy as hell that i finished high school but it feels as if ive left a part of me behind.  On that note, I feel myself begining to change. I no longer care for things or people like i used too. I only care about my family, Bethany, and my good friends. Everyone else can go suck on a rail road spike for all i care. I am also much more straight forward now and i dont really care if i make some one cry or hurt their feelings. Big deal, they will get over it.

The funny thing is though that someone told me my heart was turning to stone, and i think they are right.
