Holy shit it's been a while. Well I'm back in Germany now which is always nice. It's kind of awkward having a lot of free time. It's more awkward when you don't know many people, so I usually drive around Germany as fast as I can and listen to loud music, which is always good times.

Drove up to Berlin sunday for the Tattoo Convention...

Very close to being back in Germany now. Hopefully the military people won't keep being dicks and will let me bring back my basses on the plane with me considering I'm well under the baggage limit and weight limit (it's because it's not a military bag). Also got awarded a Combat Action Badge yesterday...still not sure if I'm going to wear it, but its there...

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...

Thinks ass fucks with explosives in Iraq need to fuck off.

Good: Red Sox in ALCS

BAD: Laptop falling and the LCD screen cracking at the beginning of this tour.

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...
