Pretty close to getting out of Iraq now. Can't say how much time left for security reasons, but we only have a few more missions and then it'll be packing up and getting ready to hit the ground running back in the rear. Getting ready to go to the Soldier of the Year competition, so that should be good. I'm confident in my abilities and...

So my unit is almost done wtih this mission to go all over the place and do the public relations things with the people. And there are somethings that I've noticed which are shaping my impression of Iraq and the current situation.

Give the kurds their own country in the region that they already have, and allow for talks for them to try to negotiate...

So my countdown has begun...82 Days till I get to go back to Paris. I'll only go for a day to see a concert performance, and hopefully be able to talk to some tattoo artists about getting a piece done. I'll get back and leave a week after that to go there for 5 days which will be awesome, New Years in Paris should be...

So, I've been battling with the people in my unit that maintain our internet service and finally got a connection again after spending the weekend without any internet. Ordinarily this wouldn't bother me, but I'm in the middle of downloading the TV show 30 Days, which is pretty damn awesome. We have a power outage scheduled for tonight, which means most people are probably going...

Ahhhhh it's very nice having internet access. Being in one of the shittiest countries in the world has definitely made me appreciate many of the things that we take advantage of such as:

1.) Freedom
2.) Showers that work
3.) Non-Contaminated Running Water
4.) Healthy Food
5.) Cooking Food
6.) Interaction with people other than the ones I work/live with
7.) Privacy

Just a partial...

It's been too long that I've not had internet access and it sucked. Thankfully the internet bill was finally paid and the people running our internet service here realized their server plan sucked and went back to the old way which was actually starting to work out. I've downloaded an entire season of Kenny vs. Spenny (which is pretty damn funny) and am now working...

Good news: the internet connection was decent enough in my room to allow me to catch the WEEI broadcast of the last half inning of the Red Sox v. Yankees game this morning. Red Sox won 7-3, and this morning someone who out ranks me will get his balls busted each and every time I see him for being a yankees fan (even though he's...

Started trying to write more on the piece, only 32 bars left to finish it. But no luck thus far, and then I started hearing "Such Sweet Thunder" in my head. For those if you that don't like jazz just try this one piece out because it's heavy as shit. It'd make for some good fighting music.

So I'm beginning to wonder if when I get out of the army and work for the government (local government in education this time) if the people around me will still be as completely retarded as most of these people? mad

On a brighter note the internet is working somewhat in my room (which is awesome since it's about 1232134894754320 degrees outside all the time now)....
