So, after I got off last night, I walked back to my tent, shaved and did all that bs, and went to morning formation for guard duty. It was kinda stupid since they tell you what you’re going to be doing, but since I did it all last week I already knew. Blah! Oh well. […]
The end of the first week
Welp, my one week of guard-tower duty has just ended… or is it begun? Well, it seems that they signed me up to do it again. My shift now is from 4pm-8pm. I guess it’s not bad (it’s not the noon shift) but no more nvg’s… I guess I can draw little pictures while making […]
Truly a boring day
Nothing happened of interest. The alarm sounded four times, although I think some were false or duds. Not sure. Guard duty was boring, the only thing of interesting being two dogs that ran past. And here the internet works about half the time. So yea, boredom at it’s best. Nobody is online to chat with […]
WTF, Mate?
If you failed to understand this, watch this. It’s my favorite flash movie ever! The end of the World
To all those who are praying for me…
THANK YOU! Welp, I guess that requires a story. Todays chapter is on how my day, which was supposed to be very uneventful, turned really scary. Lets see, I woke up at 2pm, which is ok since I went to bed around 7am, and promptly put on my body armor and waited for the mortars […]

Abbot and Costello?
I remember my little brother(Eric) and doing Abbot and Costello’s Who’s on first when I was younger and I think we enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a fun skit to play for people and I always got a good laugh out of it. Anyways, when allunacdrake sent me this in my email, I […]
Yet another uneventful day
Today I honestly didn’t do anything. Woke up for lunch, read my book, wrote a letter, sat around, went to dinner, sat around some more, went outside and laid on a bunker and watched the stars for a hour or so and then came here to check my email and update this. (It’s funny how […]
Life in Balad
Since I didn’t do much today to really talk about (unless hearing about laundry and me playing counterstrike for hours is interesting, I’ll talk about life here. Generally it’s not so bad. If you ignore the mortars we usually get (still haven’t been hit today, maybe they’re on vacation) and all the sand (that at […]
