Back from a weekend with the Marines. It went pretty well. I've transfered to another unit that is MUCH closer to where I live to finish out these final six months or so of my required contract. I had been driving all the way to Louisiana to drill with the same guys that I was in Iraq with. As more and more of them left...

Don't want to talk about it too much here. It seems so much more than five years ago now. A lot has happened since then and I've been a lot of places, but it's strange that the attacks had that much effect on my life, me being all the way down in San Antonio when it happened. It was the start of quite a bit...

long time without an update. real life has been keeping me busy, and just whenever I get online I haven't felt like staying on long enough to type one out. Things are going well. I've been keeping pretty busy at work. Not nearly as busy as we were last year at this time which is both good and bad. I'm a little worried about having...

I get 11 points off the word "Quagmire".

Happy 4th of July everyone. So far I've spent mine floating down the Comal river and just relaxing. It's freakish! I'm actually tan. I'm usually avoiding the sun, but this summer I've been all out in it. Forgot how insanely freckled my shoulders get. It's been threatening to storm over central Texas all day, but it was pretty much nice and sunny the whole way...

So here I am back again from my adventures in the Dutch Antillies; those being these two little islands commonly known as Aruba and Curacao. It was a long three weeks. That whole "one weekend a month and two weeks a year" promise they spout to reservists...well...apparantly they can make it up to six weeks in the summer should they so choose. I guess I...

damn. I guess it's been so long since I've updated that I've fallen out of habit. I get here and look at my page and think "I'll get around to updating as soon as I check my bookmarks...and groups...and the boards...and...oh look a distraction!" and then I never do it. Well..today...today it seems that I've found my way to the update page..and I've wasted a...

now that my desktop is fixed...again, I am back on the interweb with some more frequency than I once was. actually I've been back for a while now as I had gotten fed up with my lack of connectivity...alone in my apartment...? and went a sprang for the wireless setup so that my laptop could reach out and touch the billions upon billions of naughty...

Not much going on. Got my motorcycle back earlier this week with all the work done on it. It's like an entirely new machine! I have to practice a lot more restraint with it now than I did before. Looking forward to taking some longer rides on it.

another 60 hour work week. ugh. no sleep, but lots of work and that should translate into...
