This message is for everyone:
Thanks to all of you who sent packages, whether I got them or not (worst mail system since WWII).
Thanks to all of you who kept up e-mail contact.
I am still in Iraq. I should be coming home by October.
I miss all of you and I hope to see you soon.
It's been one hell of a ride....

azura:
welcome back!
elfin:
I like that you're still a smart-ass. ;-)
So this is goodbye.
I am off to fight the good fight overseas. May this war be quick and may all our boys come home.
Feel free to post your comments on how things are going back here at home, what you're up to, and any thoughts you might have while I'm away.
Spooky has been kind enough to let me keep this page up...

Make sure I get invited to the welcome home party you're throwing yourself when you get back to CA.

miss you.
I'm giving you all the head's up now
My account expires Jan. 31 apparently.
I will not be paying to stay on as I will be leaving for 6 to 8 months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I will continue to attend events until I leave, which will probably be near the end of February. For all of you whom I will not see...

No, I'll miss YOU. 
I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but please take care.

Just to let you all know: I am not gone yet. I will let you know when I leave. I figure I have about a month. Maybe a little more. I plan on going to the bonfire and anything else that pops up between now and then. Sorry I missed you all at game night. I said I would go and I didn't. I wasn't...

jperiod:
it was nice to see you for the two minutes that i did on friday and the two minutes that i saw you last week.
The road trip is over. I have come to a pretty clear decision that if I moved out of socal, I would choose San Francisco for my new home. Maybe Lil Tuffy convinced me when the 3 bars we went to were within a few blocks of his house. Or maybe it was the sights or local bands. I don't know... I do know that...

Hey, thanks for commenting on my journal entry. I've been thinking about you more than you can know, since the SG Thai dinner. You're the only person I know who's going to the 'sandbox,' and I think about that every time I hear about more troops being sent or other war-related news. I really don't know what to say, I'll just pray you'll be okay, and that some other solution to the mess over there can be found before people like you are put in danger's way.
requiem:
Yup, I'd move to SF too, but not before I dump a few more $ into the Hawk...
Seattle Day 1:
I've made it to Seattle!
I have met Lane and his wonderful girlfriend. They've gone to Martial Arts class so I'm just sitting here playing on the comp until Azura calls. It's been awhile since I saw her last. Was it the Halo party? Anyways, we're doing sushi tonight. More to come later...

Portland Day 1:
Hey I'm in Portland now, hanging out at Sooperslut's place... just got in from the 10 hour drive, and haven't seen anything yet. Requiem gave Lil Tuffy and I a great tour of Franciscan Winery before I left the beautiful city of San Francisco. I highly recommend it to all you wine conniseurs out there. More to come later...

Hey everybody,
I am currently typing away at Lil Tuffy's computer here in San Francisco. I had a great time at the SGLA New Year's. I wish I was able to talk a little more with you all, but the more members that come, the less I get to talk to you all! Anyway, the friends I brought had a good time too. I wish...

ROAD TRIP!!!! DEC. 30 - JAN. 12!!!!
That's right friends, I'm going north! I'm stopping in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. I'm taking the Pacific Coast Highway all the way, stopping for everything that tickles my fancy. I'm looking for members to hang out with and let me crash at their pads while I'm in their town. SGLA folks will vouch for me. I'm a...

You suck, I'm gonna have to go weeks without your sweet man love...
I think I am skirting disaster. I think I'm sinking further and further into some kind of selfish careless pit of depression. I swear this job and lifestyle is eating away at me. Every day I am torn between my work life and what you all see when I come to LA. It is taking its toll. When I was in training it was easier...

the love happens when you least expect it. if you go on looking for it, it will just drive you crazy. i dont know what to tell you in regards to the military... there isnt much you can do about that for now. 2.5 years left, my friend. it will pass you by and you will be stronger because of it.
this comment is really pointless, as it doesnt help or offer any real advice. but its late, and i am awake, and thought i'd at least respond to let you know that i've read your journal and wish you the best.

I'm right there with you. In February, I'm 26. I'm still a couple years away from getting out of school, the work I'm doing now gives me very little satisfaction, and my relationships are few, far between, and generally disastrous.
I'm at a point now where I've almost given up on everything. I feel like if I don't fully commit myself to one thing or another, I'm going to fade out. So I do the same as you: continue on, don't stop, don't give up and slowly plod through life.
My suggestion on love is give up. Don't try for it. Don't force youself into it. It's a mistake I've made before and I've paid dearly for it. I'm far from an expert on the subject, but I truly believe that it will happen when it's meant to.
Stay strong and enjoy your friends. 2 and a half years can fly by if you let them.
