Nothing exploded today, at least not by me. There was alot of outgoing artillery though, probably towards Fallujah again. In retrospect of the last time I went out, I think that people do not like going outside of the perimeter with me, because I don't get all scared and nervous like alot of people. When we were driving back a friend and I were joking a bit in the back of the truck. mostly at the expense of the person driving the truck, you could tell he was scared because he was driving really badly. It's just plain wrong when you are more scared of dying from the person driving than you are from being shot or blown up. Anyway my friend and I got some dirty looks, like we shouldn't even think of laughing. Fuck that. I'd rather go out laughing than all scared and nervous. Not saying that we were totally fucking off, we were still watching our lanes of fire, we were still aware. we were just shooting the shit in the meantime. I say laugh while you can, tomorrow might be too late.
