Someone re-teach me French...I've forgotten most of it....
Wow. I just learned that another one of my fellow soldiers passed away last week. He was definitely taken way too soon and was one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. RIP, brother. You'll be missed. Life is unfair.
These last two years have been fatal for people I was in the Army with. Sigh.
What should I do for my 30th birthday? It's not for a few months yet, but I should do something memorable I think...
I cannot believe people are seriously angry about that Coca-Cola ad. I guess they forgot that we are a country made of immigrants. Then again, at the same time, I'm not surprised. #murica

My best friend’s girlfriend offered to give me one of their cats.
I might take her up on her offer. I need some companionship.
I got an email from the teacher of one of my classes saying “For those of you who are worried about not having assignments for our first class…”

I've been struggling with how I can find a happy medium between getting angry at ignorant people but not lashing out at them, as my first instinct is to do (I'm only human). It's not easy, especially since I've had a short fuse much of my life to begin with (not something I particularly like about myself) and because dumbass fuckery happens to me on...
