I'm bummed!

My site (http://www.soldiervoices.net) has been shut down!
Have I been hacked? Did I forget to pay my bill? I don't know but it makes me sad.

I can't really do a good diagnostic until I can get my own laptop hooked up to the
internet. I don't know when that will be.

Apparently I'm pissing people off.

Woo! Greetings from Kuwait!

This place isn't too bad. They have a lot of nice things and there isn't too many soldiers so....

We're just here waiting to head into Iraq. *That* should be a different story.

I hope everything is all right! I got a call from the people doing the 60 Mins ep. Apparently I'm gonna be kind of a big deal within...

Presuming a guy bathes regularly and puts on clean underwear, then why should he wash his hands after peeing if he didn't get pee on his hands?

Think about it. His penis is clean, his undies are clean, his *hands* are what's dirty. If anything, he should wash his hands *before* touching his penis or wash his *penis* after going to the bathroom.

Seriously!

I think the word "penis" is the most comically vulgar word in the English language. Hear me out.

I work a lot with soldiers so I'm going to use them as my examples. These are my observations and my opinions alone. You can either choose to agree or choose to disagree, but I digress

Soldiers tend to be aware (hyperaware, even) of their existence, but...

Is it possible to experience an exhilirating high and depressing low at the same time?

Today I got news, the news I've been waiting for and I'm extremely happy, and extremely sad.

In my next post, I'll share with all of you my thoughts on the word "penis."

Soldier Voices went live on 5 November, 2006, or about three weeks ago.

Since then the hit counter has gone up to 270, which is great because the site was only advertised through word of mouth and me advertising on certain sites.

Problem is, no one is really posting. I know not everyone agrees with me, and I couldn't make it any easier!

What do...

I'm vying for a spot to go to Washington DC so I can denounce the war in Iraq right in the White House's front yard.

There's only spots for between 6-8 so wish me luck!!!

EDIT: I got my answer! My first essay was titled "What, Exactly, are We Dying For?" Well, when I google'd my name, I got my answer. It all seems so...

Happy Turkey Day everyone! I hope you and your families have an awesome Thanksgiving.

This will be yet another holiday spent alone. Oh well. I have a turkey hot pocket with my name on it.

Gah!

I just googled myself again after a week of not googling myself (at least not online anyway ). My essay is being copied and pasted into other places. It's most definately proliferating.

Makes me wish I had proofread it first.

Anyway, I'm hoping my second will be published this weekend.

I talked to another reporter today and he said he'd pimp my website. Check...

I'm getting ready to deploy in the next two weeks and my laptop decides to have issues. It's basically on life support now. I'm basically just using it to back up my precious, precious datas. I really was hoping this thing would last at least 10 more years. Oh well.

I'm talking to another reporter in the coming days and I have 68 unread emails...

The interview ended up lasting two hours and they were very thankful that I shared my experiences, but I didn't have a chance to see the questions before filming, so I didn't have time to think of responses.

Therefore, my answers ended up having a lot of "ums" and "likes." Two things I avoid entirely when speaking publicly. When I would catch myself "umming" I...
