Well I've got my dad and one of my sisters coming into town this week. That should be ... yea so like I said they're coming into town.
Moving into my new townhouse that me and this guy are renting this week also. That should be cool though. Looking forward to moving in.
Funny to think it's already been a year sinced I moved here. I really wasn't sure I'd be here that long. But I'm never sure how long I'll be anywhere.

What to say? What to say? Got 2 shitty emails from home the other day. A former teammate was killed in an auto accident. Tragic... A huge loss to the community. He was a tactical genius - always had the right answers... Sad. When it's time to go, it's time to go, that's the biggest thing I've learned from this lifestyle. No matter what precautions you take, if your gig's up, poof....
The other email, really has me upset... I guess "the girl" got pretty tanked up the other night, and went WAY out of line with some of my teammates back home. Pretty pissed about that, but she didn't mean it and really wasn't in control of the situation. We'll work it out, she's a good girl, just gets a little wild on the fire water... Bygones. I'll figure it out... Just hard to do with 5 minute phone calls once a week and the occasional email.
Everything here is going well. the kids we're "advising" are coming along. Some much better than others; it's really weird the dispersion in ability amongst these guys. Some are shit-hot, others are like a fucking soup sandwich. Spilt fuck everywhere.
It may be hot, but at least there are a lot of mosquitoes...
Catie, and Josephene, sure are getting frisky with ya there, Jeffery... You're welcome.
I'm pretty disappointed in the human race, in general. Why the fuck am I the only person who can
KEEP A FUCKING PROMISE?
This country is so fucked up, you wouldn't believe it. The UN has FUCKED this place up. There is an 85% unemployment rate, the average salary is $4/day... The Un rolls in making UNGODLY amounts of money for doing FUCK ALL, and disrupts the economy. A beer is $5.... Hotel $90/night.... All the foreigners pay it because we're used to it, and it's about average for back home, but it totally fucks these people up... They can't afford to eat, they have shit for clothes, very little structural government... When the UN leaves here, this place is fucked like you read about.
Not to mention, the majority of the PKF are pricks to the poplation and treat them like primates. You should see these fuckers faces when I give them a smile and a wave... You'd think they just saw a lost relative or something...
I'm keeping a journal of the days that I have time to write... Like last time in S. America. I just can't send them to you over this, I'll send them once I'm out of indian country. They'll probably bore you to death.
Good luck with the move. Have fun with the family. I'll see you soon.
L&R,
Mark
