rants and raves ...

i think good ol mother nature is telling us we need to start taking better care of her ... these are some nasty rains going on the east coast ... hope everyone is ok ... its nice to see back home on tv ... just sucks its in a bad way ...

it kills me that the govt cant come up with a time table on a withdrawl of troops ... i mean dont get me wrong i want to go (i get to almost triple my pay and get a free ticket anywhere in the world ... of coarse all of this is second to helping my battle buddies) but they need to start a plan on getting soldiers back home ... Gen Casey is trying to get something started but its almost the same plan that just got shot down in the senate ... i know its not as easy as, "ok everyone pack your shit its time to go home", but at least show some signs that you are trying ... and bush ... you better not make a plan to withdrawl troops just to help your party in the next election ... cause you already screwed that up for them, withdrawl troops cause its what needs to be done ... but just remember ... we leave and stuff gets crazy again ... we cant go back, the people wont let you do this again ...

side notes ... saw the doctor on friday ... i actually got some medicine and a follow up appt ... thats huge around these parts ... problem is i dont think the medicine is working yet ... i get to go home july 10th!!!! cant wait ... i turn the big 2 - 5 july 6th ... man im getting old ...

quick questions ... anyone here work for fox news? if not ... someone from dc fox news was browsing around ... man this statcounter this is cool ...

gotta jet ... motorpool here i come ...

oh so tired ...

well i forgot how much a girlfriend hurts the wallet ... This weekend was really nice, we scored some free tickets to a rangers baseball game from MWR ... now being a huge ... HUGE ... redskin fan, it pains me to say that i enjoyed my time in dallas ... we crashed with my girls friends house and was able to do some touristy things ... we did the whole kennedy assasination museum tour ... very cool!!!

other than that i was able to relax and enjoy some time with my girl ... im looking forward to going home for a couple weeks ... nothing but sleep, fish, crab, and riding the jet ski ... ohhhh i cant wait!!!!

... mondays kill me ...

I think it might be the fact that I have been having some good weekends of late ... cause mondays are really killing me ... I mean I go into work and it seems like I am the only one working sometimes and then people that aren't doing anything throw more shit at me ... dont get me wrong ... its not a hard job ... but its the principle ... DO YOUR OWN WORK ... needless to say I was not popular this morning with the co workers ... oh and work they wanted me to do was wrong anyway ...

I might change the R&R plans to a trip to Rome, Venice, and then Greece ... hopefully I can convince a certain someone to meet me out there ... we'll see how that goes ...

and stupid people piss me off ... in everyday life ... people on the news ... it baffles me that people are that stupid ... I am not the smartest person, please dont get me wrong ... but the lack of common knowledge these days is crazy ...

quick notes ... glad to see dick chaney hasnt shot anyone else, bush is more worried about gay marriage then iraq, iran, or anything else going on, 2 to 1 odds the crap on the mexican border gets finished before new orleans is back to normal, and final note ... just because you are a mega star athlete doesnt mean you can do stupid stuff on your motorcycle, but I hope big ben gets well soon ...

TGIF!!

well its friday ... had some boring class on something that we will never use ever ... now we have to go out in 100 degree heat and do some convoy ops, this we will need ... i had a pretty stressful week at work so this weekend will be rest and relax as much as possible ... hopefully i will be able to make it to austin for a day out and about ... but tonight will be a nice cigar, pool, beer, and most importantly friends ...

on a side note ... i'm pretty happy that we killed Al-Zarqawi ... hopefully we can get to more of these leaders of the insurgents ...
