Wow, I just looked at how long it has been since I posted anything. About two years or so. Well, they say that time flies when you don't pay attenchoion, and I guess that it just passed me by.

So, just what has happined in the last two years? I bought and wrecked (sevreal times) a little pick-up. It may be a broken POS, but it is MY broken POS, and I'll run her till the wheels fall off. Ilove my S-10. And to all who have a problem with her, at least she ain't a Ford. I have had more that a few nights that I can't rember. That is actually how I met my someone speical. My friend was drunk a he wrecked her car. No one was hurt, all he hit was a piller, and I paid for the damages. I porbably faired the worst of all, minor head injuries, and one hell of a hangover. I have said goodbye to some of my closest friends, and welcomed into my life some new ones, watched the mentored become leaders, and have finnaly found a chief with the pachents and stubborness to help me set myself on the same path. (long story) I am now promotable, just waiting on points to drop some. Been to both weddings and funerials... some under stranger that normal circomstances. Got engaded and adopted by a whole new family.Some of the nicest people I know. I mean they have to be to marry off one of ther own to something like me...lol... Wedding is still under construction at this point, for those intrested, but looking to be about late summer early fall next year (upon return to the states). Again, for those intersted, mid-tour leave is looking to be late March early April.

Well, we have deploied again. Once again, late news, by hey, I giess you'll have to forgive me. We are in the 4th mounth of 15, and allready we have had 3 divorces. They just don't make wifevs like they used to, huh? It is sad really, that this is happining allready, so early in to things.

 This time we are in Kurkik. It is in northern Iraq, by the Tigres, and forgive me, but the name of the mountian range escapes me at the moment. Our job is pretty much to protect the oil pipeline. What it bolis down to is us hanging out with the IA (Iraqi Army) more often than not. Still in so trivial a mission, we have allreday lost to many.  

There is not a whole lot more to say at this point, so untill next time take care.

Well, once again, I join all of y'all out in cyber land. Hope your day is going batter than mine.

Lol... Mine isn't really all that bad, just fell down a hill and busted up my hands a little. Was running down hill and tripped over some louse rocks, Other than my hands, I am fine. This weekend I am going to Niagara falls with my girl friend, sooner or later, I will take her home to meet the family, as I have allready met most of her's. They are all good folks, more than I can say for half of mine...lol...

MOveing along, other than two new tatto's there is not much new news to report on my end. I got the ICP hachet man on my forearm, and Kentucky with the horsws head on the other side of my arm. Not to much more work, and I willl have it selaved out, and then I will be pretty much done with tattos for a while at least, as it seams my artist is moveing back to Texas on me... Who will I ever turn to? lol... Untill next time, take care all.

Currently Listening A Fever You Can't Sweat Out By Panic! At The Disco I write sins not tradigies see related

Well, I know it has been forever since I wrote anything, and for that I am sorry, I don't deal well with death, and it seems that lately I have seen to much of it. But sonce then, I have done some soal searching and for the most part put it behind me. Allthough they will always be a part of me, and will always be missed. R.I.P. my brothers...

That said and out of the way, things in my life are for the most part looking up for the first time in a long time. I own my first vehiceal, a 2001 chevy S-10, Completly paid for. Of that, I am quite proud.

Just this past weekend, through an intersting (for lack of a better word)  series of events, I meet someone who I think just might tolarate me enoguh to like me back. Nothing like a near death experance to birng people closer together...lol... Only time will tell on this one though.

I just got back off leave, witch had it's ups and downs, but for the most part was a blast. I got my first speeding tickit, the cop caught me going 89 in a 65, so I guess I kinda earned that one...lol...Went back to Ceder point, faced the only ride that I feared, and rode twice when I figured out how much fun it was.

Well, that is about all. unitll next time take care all.

A very solem tone has set into the battery as the war has finnaly hit as close to me as it can. A 3-6 has had there first KIA. SPC Eric D Clarck and PFC Steven P Snowburger the third died in an IED attack on the 12th of May. They were good brave men, who gave the ultimate sacrfice, and will be gravely missed. I must admit, I never thought we woulde louse some one inside the battery. I thought we were trained better than that, that we were just too good. I have been proven horribly wrong... They say that it gets eaiser with time to endure louseing friends like this. I have learned that to be complete bullshit. It only gets harder. I have never felt so helpless as I did on that day, when all I could do was stare at a radio and listen as my friends died. I would give anything to be in there place. Clarck had less than 60 days till he was out of the army, and Snowburger was only 18 with not even a year in...
They tell me that they both died instalny, and I hope that it is true. I wish that much for them, if nothing else, I know they are at peace now.
On this day, I have learned true hate for this country, these people, and all the mother f***ers who forsake the military.  I need to go now.

I was listning to him today, and that line stuck out in my head for some reason, and I figured it was as good a way to start as any.

Meving on, We had a pretty big dust storm today...One minute the sun is shineing, the next total blackout... That is the good thing about the guard shack, though...just hit the light switch and dive back into your book.

It seems they let my puunishment go just long enough to give me hope that nothing would happin....well, it happins tommorow. Would have been today, but the BC had other matters to attend to. So lucky me, it seems.

My cousin is getting married when I return. I am leary of going to it as I may have menchioned in previous posts, every wedding I have attended has wound up in devorice. Besides, I hate to dress up... Who knows, Hopefully with Katie, my course will lift. Here's hopein' huh?

Any way, there is not much else going on over here. The world turns at about the same speed here as it dose there... Ok, maybe a little slower, but we deal. Untill next time, take care.
