How's it going once again everyone? Memorial Day Weekend has come to our camp and with it has come a cornucopia of events. We have Operation Hardwood, a basketball tournament coached by NCAA Division 1 coaches, which just got done today. I never was able to go the first one but this one was very cool. I got to meet all of the coaches and even Leann Tweeden. I was able to talk with Coach Kelvin Sampson, he used to be the former coach at Washington State University, and we talked about where I grew up back in Washington. I met Dave Odom, coach for University of South Carolina, and we talked about the Strom Thurmond Gym on the campus and how I use to play with some of the guys off the team.
Saturday night saw me DJing to a packed house. And yes ladies and gentlemen I had that place rocking. Thanks DJ Hypnotic for letting me play. There were a couple of bad spots in the night. The first being a little scuffle that broke out. With Operation Hardwood going on, there was a lot of unused testosterone left over and I think I just played a tad bit too much crunk music. The other bad spot was when I played Lil Wayne's "Fireman" the first word to come out was "f*ck" and than shortly after that was butt crack. These obviously violated the policy that I had signed with the MWR. So I changed it up real quick. But it ended up well.
Well I have to go now. Look for the pictures from my trip to Kuwait City and the ones that I took of Operation Hardwood to be up on here soon. TTFN

Comings and goings
Well I know it's been awhile, since I've last posted, and I apologize for that. I've been so busy with work and DJing that I think I'm getting burnout (NOT!!). Other than that though things have been okay here. My only peeve is a rumored ban on two piece bikini's at the local pool.
Once again the leadership has decided that instead of punishing the one, they will punish everyone. Me personally I think it's ridiculous. People here are such pussies that I'm surprised that anything ever gets done. I don't know what is worse a retirement home or being here. Either way it's the same result old folks making much ado about nothing.
Today we got to visit Kuwait City's City Centre Mall and Science Center. The City Centre Mall was very depressing. Even though it's pretty big, there wasn't much of anything in there. I was able to find some cool shirts from Giordano. I use to shop at Girodano while I was in Qatar and was surprised to find one here in Kuwait. Unfortunately, I won't have the opportunity to shop there as much as I like. I got some pretty nice pictures of some of the sights of Kuwait.
We went to the science center and some local Kuwaiti schoolgirls wanted to have their pictures taken with us. Being the gracious folks we hooked them up. It was funny though. Because at first they surrounded us but didn't say anything. Than one girl in the group got the courage to ask and the ice was broken.
One weird thing I noticed about our trip to the City Centre, was that it was in close proximity to a slaughter house. And boy did the air in the area stink. I'm not sure if it was from the trash that was in the area or the slaughter house. All I know is that it stank bad.
Well I've gotten the word that I'll be heading back to Atlanta within the next month or so. So I will be getting ready for my move back to Toronto and being with my family. It will be great but I know that a lot has changed. Expectations, personalities, and whatever else has changed either for better or for worse.
By the way I made a big purchase the other day. I bought a Nikon D50 SLR camera. All I have to say is that this thing kicks major ass. I will show you the pics I took of KC with it. Much better color and everything. Now I just need to figure out how to use it to it's fullest. So if anyone knows hit me up. Any info is greatly appreciated. Well it's time for me to go to bed. I stink, not from the slaughter house, and need to jump in the shower and get ready to DJ tomorrow. See ya and Peace in the Middle East!!!!!

Greetings from Kuwait
Well I've been in Kuwait for quite a while now and I have to say it's changed. For better or for worse, I can't say at this time, but once I find out I'll let you know. It's been pretty hot around here, around 105 to 111 degrees, yet it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. I wonder if this is a bad thing or not?
I'm now DJing once again at the Oasis. Now I host the Old School Night. I figured with old school night it would be easy to appease people's musical hunger, boy was I wrong. Even when I played good joints these guys wanted to hear some stuff that they thought everyone would like. Than playing hip hop night, every now and then, I've come to realize how indoctrinated people are to radio hits. You try to play something new and they act stupid, but play something off the radio and they get out on the dancefloor. Oh well.
Well I've been working on my round the world travel plan and hopefully by August I'll be able to do it. Yes I said August. I've tried to get an extension for the military and was told that it's not possible. So I expect to be back in Atlanta soon to start packing my stuff and getting ready to move back to Toronto. My destinations are kind of ambitious. I plan to hit up Europe, SE Asia, maybe SW Asia (some parts), and from there I'll just go where ever the wind blows me to. Well got to go and tan at the pool (yeah a black guy tanning LOL). Will see you guys later.
