I am the baddest mother fucker in the valley of the shadow of death.... Oh shit!

So, a funny thing happened the other month. Following my rules for wiskey PT, I somehow lost my USMC invincibility force field! Back when I was still a hard charging Marine, I was an invincable motherfucker. I would drive drunk as hell, get into fights, climb apartment buildings 6 stories high to retreive a lighter, drive drunk as hell, snorkle with deadly sea animals, and drive drunk as hell. Looks to me like that force field that had protected me from civilian law enforcement has finally been lost in a drunken stupor. Drinking with my old USMC Armorer buddy Cpl. Arillano, I decided to pass out at the bar, and wake up stupified. I ended up driving my truck home, recieving a night in jail and a DUI.
That was last October, and the last 5 months have been complete hell. I was demoted to a non driving position at work because of my 4 month licence suspension, had to go to court, pay a 1300 dollar fine, and go to a 3 hour class and 1 AA meeting one time a week each for the past 3 and a half months.
I got my Supervisors position back, and completed the dreaded classes, but I still have a lot left on the fine. I just couldn't afford it with my work demotion, and am just now starting to pay it. I have 2 months left to do so, but I will overcome this problem, I always do. Funny thing that Marine Corps Invincibility force field.... it gave me a false sense of security. One more struggle in life's path and I am learning some lessons along the way. I actually learned things in the DUI classes too, but I just can't think of them at the moment. Don't worry mom and pops..... one day I will be a grown man!
