Well, It's just another day in paradise here in lovely Kansas, very cold as always. I just got the news that all my friends leave for Iraq on my birthday (1 Feb). Wow, what a great fucking present that is.. 
The sad part is they havent left yet, and i already feel like they are gone. It's amazing what one stupid president can do to so many peoples lives. V. sad right now. I try not to think of anything but I cant seem to help think of all my friends. Knowing they ahve to go over to that horrible death trap again.. Another year without them. Well there goes all my emotional support.. Thanks BUSH!

it's not quite as bad as the news makes it out. it does suck and it is dangerous but i think that it is slowlygetting better. exept for the goddamn rain we have been getting all day. now it's cold and muddy. regardless, stay safe & warm.

It's not that I am worried about them being over there, It's just the fact of the matter they have only been back home state-side for 8 months. They just went over there in 2003, It's like I have not be able to spend as much time with them as I can. I'm trying to make up for lost time, But i know I cant. It's gone forever. I guess I am to used to being around them all the time, or being able to call them when I need to talk. Now I really cant do that. Yeah i can write letters, and I can e-mail them, But it's not the same as just calling them at the spur of the monet to say something stupid to make them laugh. Maybe deep down inside I do worry about their safety, We all have mixed emotions about this go round. But all I can do is show them I support them and I love them all. It just seems like my life just got back to normal. now it's going to be all fucked up again.
