Incongruities

These are just some things that I've noticed.

Bill O'Reilly says he is the "No Spin" factor, yet everytime he talks about something he says, "I believe". Isn't he then just adding his own spin to the topic?

How come when we have a G.I. party there is no party stuff? Usually it's mops, brooms, and other cleaning supplies. Where the hell is the party at?


Well it's been a wild week. I'm getting ready to pack my stuff up and head home. It'll be great to get home and ride my new moped, drink some beer, and see my family. It seems like just yesterday I was in Atlanta enjoying the warm sun. I plan to take as many cityscape pictures in Atlanta as I can. I've joined an Atlanta Flickr group and look forward to getting some feedback.

So close I can taste it

Well I'm almost done. I'm so close to going home that I can already taste the beer and real burgers. Man. Ok sorry for the short post but I have to jet. Laters.

Happy Father's Day

Well today is that great day called Father's Day. I never had a good rapport with my father before I joined the military. I'm not sure why. I think sometimes I blame him and my mom for their divorce, though it was probably something that was neccessary for them. I haven't really spoken with my dad in a long time and haven't seen him in person even longer. The last time I saw my day, I was at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii about to go out on the town with Jaewest. The CQ (sort of like RA's in a dorm) called me and told me he was there. It was kind of an embarrasing moment. I didn't know what to say and neither did he. He had brought his girlfriend out there and he couldn't seem to find her. After that I didn't hear or speak to him.

Well the Public Affairs Office was going around soliciting for soldiers who wanted to submit a Father's Day greeting back to the US. I decided this is a step to repairing our relationship. So I decided to send one out. I never got to see the final cut of the greeting and I hope it turned out well. I hope my dad actually got to see it. And......deep down I just want to wish you a Happy Father's Day dad and I apologize for my selfishness. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Well I have to go. I hope you guys are doing well on this day and remember go out and spend that time with your father or father figure. I don't care if your parents are homosexuals, your the child of a single parent, or whatever. Celebrate them. You'll never know when you'll get to do it again.

Countdown to home

Well ladies and gentlemen, my time here in the Middle East is winding down. It's been a great time and pretty rewarding. I picked up new DJ skills, I've become a better leader, and I think I'm much more alive. By the way feel free to access my flickr page by clicking on my pictures. I hope to add more in the next couple of days and weeks.
