I am thinking about going into the US Airforce or the Navy. It's been on my mind for the past year, and I never really went through with it. There's a military officer that oversees the contract I work on, and he has been suggesting it ever since he became my boss. But most recently he has brought the subject up more then once simply because I just picked up a second job at a place I use to work at as a teenager.

The reason why I picked up a second job was for security, not to mention I've been looking at new living quarters. Plus being a gamer is a very expensive hobby. It's commission sales(plus hourly) in an electronic department, and I'm hoping to bring in at least another $500 to stock in my savings bi-weekly part-time.

The good thing is that Charleston, SC isn't that expensive to live in unless you're downtown or in Mt. Pleasant. I live in Summerville which is a growing suburb outside Charleston. It's really your typical blue collar town in America which is exploding. But all my friends live on the other side of Charleston in Mt. Pleasant or West Ashley. Those are the two towns connecting to the city.

I found this really nice 1 bed room apartment in a gated-community for an affordable price. Plus there's a pool, grills, and a gym in the complex. But I'm also looking at places in West Ashley. Mt. Pleasant is out of the question. Even though it'll boost your social status a little bit, the cost of living there is expensive. My grandmother lives in "Pleasantville", and when I was a child it was less expensive. But it just grew, and traffic is absolutely crazy!

Charleston is growing and it's one of those southern cities that have attracted the attention of people from northern states in the US on the east coast. I was standing in line downtown for a hotdog. The guy selling them was from California, and his first customer was also from there as well. Then another person said they were from New York, another from Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Then this older gentleman was like, is anyone from Charleston? Out of 7 people in line, my friend Ashley was the only one raising her hand which was quite funny. Oh yeah. I was born upstate in New Hampshire but I'm a military brat as well. Yet, my family and our history is located in this city.
