the kernals are poppin

I was lucky enough to have a "day off" ... i still have to go in the office and make sure all the computers worked and they really didnt need me ... felt good though to just lay around and unload ... just let the mind wonder off and see what it cooks up ... i apprciate everyones inputs and words of wisdom on here ... its always nice to get a unbias oppinion ... i just cant wait to go home on r&r though ... to see my family and friends ... not be here for a while ... thats pretty much where my mind wondered off to ... it was nice ... another good thing is that while on my day off i didnt have to sit in the office and read or hear about the goings on ... sometimes we all need a break from that as well ... especially after the news we recieved the other day ... we do business with some iraqies ... pay them for jobs they do around base ... for the most part they are alright to deal with ... just like you or me ... we had one guy who was especially nice ... very polite ... spoke english well and could do or get anything you need ... turns out someone found out that he was working with us and executed him in front of his family ... needless to say we knew things like this happen ... it just hits hard when the guy was in our office just 2 days prior ... he was a good guy ... so i guess this day off had some good timing ... let me think and dream about things ... but things are calming down around us at least ... we are in our groove ... days are flying by ... time is just melting away ... its almost feb!!! ... just a couple months away from going home for a while ...

i hope all is well out there in blogger land ... i thank you all for reading and posting ... it really gives me something to look forward too! ... you guys make it easier ... thank you ...
