Another week has gone by and my leave is slowly dwindling away. Soon I will have to drive back to Texas and fall back in to the grind, that is everyday life. However, I am enjoying myself.

I went and played paintball with my best friend on Saturday. I had recently purchased a Tippmann 98 Custom, and Sat morning I bought a 16 inch barrel...

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted a entry in my little ole internet journal, so I thought that I would take the time now to fix that problem. I have now made it home, my home home, in Portland. I drove from Salina Kansas on the 6th and now I am here.

I also bought a new car. I will post pictures...

Well SGers. It has been awhile since we last spoke. I am now in the Good Ole US of A. I made it home alive and in one piece. I am now enjoying life, partying and rollin' with my "HOMIEZ". It's so good to be home.

Well, It's time for the news now.

I played football this morning. My platoon versus the Medic platoon. I am one of those quick speedy type football players. It was a pretty fun game. We were on the kickoff return. I was setting up a block for the runner. One of the medics (who out weighs me by at least 50lbs) comes running at me,...

Well, It's that time again. What's news to me today?

I started playing Canasta on Yahoo Games. Hopefully I will figure it out and gain some proficiency at it.

I have been looking for a cribbage player since I have been deployed. It's always been spades, I am so tired of that game.

datsun:

datsun:

Well, another day in Kuwait and the stupidity is mounting. My section has decided to be all high speed and start doing PT (physical training). Out of the whole Battalion, we are the only Platoon doing PT. What is the freaking point. When we get back, we aren't doing PT. Then we are going on a 30 day max leave, chances are, I am not...

Poor baby! Why did the BC and SM move into your tent? Didn't they have one already? mad I'm mad that they took so much space, too.

Do you know how long you will be home for? I'd like to visit if at all possible.

At least you are safer there than before.

Well, I have arrived. Kuwait will be my home for the next couple weeks at least. I am happy to be here, but it's weird. I have left the familiar and now am in a new environment. It's funny how familiarity can be taken for granted.

I am totally stoked. My annual percentage rate for my savings accout climbed to 2.6% from 2.35%. INGdirect.com is...

actually, I have a really boring life. it's just easy to make it sound interesting if I'm only writing a few sentences a few times a week! wink

I'm trying to go back to school, too.

Maybe instead of curbing your enthusiasm, you could just loan me a bit? I need to be more motivated.

i agree with datsun, a boring military life is probably a good thing...
good luck dealing with the boredom...
when you say "going home" is that back to base or to the NW?

Well, the time is come. My flight leaves out on the first at about 7pm for Kuwait. The homecoming is nigh. I am so stoked. I can't wait to get get home, it's not even funny. So who is going to come and visit me when I get there?
