So i made it through the day, nothing much today but things are going to snowball in the coming weeks and be huge till summer. it was another cold one, i ran like crazy everytime i went outside. I had to pry my friends door open because it was frozen shut and a soda he left in the car over night was a solid block of ice. Its crazy, i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't saw it myself. Being from California and the coldest there now is the 40's. Ok now to get serious...
this is is for Sophie, its something important about me. I am a infantry soldier in the American Army. the reasons i joined aren't because of the college money or to kill someone, but when i went back to Colombia two years ago i saw extremely young children begging for 200 pesos which about 3000 is equal one American dollar. Once the Guerilla and drug lords took over these children would be left with the aftermath of being beggers, prostitues, and child soldiers, all which i could have been and what my lost brother and sisters could be, as well as my biological mother. i also know this isn't only in Colombia but all over the world. In a series of misfortune i decided to do something. I wanted to support the soldiers who sacrifice so much by joining them and stand up against the Guerilla factions(FARC, ELN, AUC, Al-Quieda,etc.) that claim peace but murder, rape, and strip children of thier innocence. I care about other soldiers and especcially those in the combat arms that get up close. what people don't see are the straind and incredibly hard lives soldiers live. Knowing i'm going to iraq i see wives of my buddies already choking back tears. My friend just got married and another just had a baby and another has one on the way. they are going to miss thier first birthdays and anniversaries. they chose this job for thier own reasons but they are good men that follow thier orders and will fight so that thier children arn't going to be begging or other horrible things. In the future when i have a family I want them to be as safe as they can without worrying about car bombs or guerilla kidnapping them for ransom. Politics are so confusing claiming one thing and giving another, plans within plans, and the lies, all i know is that my heart is with those soldiers that fight at least in the direction of supressing the guerilla. My heart hurt tremendously when i heard of all the children that died in Russia when the guerilla took a school hostage. i believe that the ability to create war is etched in man and simply talking to them might change one but the killing won't stop. I have to believe in my heart and fight without hurting innocent as well as giving aide to charities and my adoption center, Los Chiquitines. yeah so support the Troops!!!! Vote and live life to its fullest, I wish people wern't in so much pain and is saddens me to see them like that, but I'll fight so they can have a chance to become more and so my buddies will come back and especcially for all the Suicide Girls. believe me when ever i get out I'm relaxing and enjoying everthing i can and attempt to make up for lost time with friends. If anything, the corny phrase to listen to your heart, it is true, but also look into it and love it and share it with others. Take care all.
