I Am Legend

when i finally got back to the COP i found out i was well known for not having been at the COP. i was at the FOB for about a week waiting for a convoy to take me to the COP, even tho a few convoys did go back and forth in that time taking other people with them. this was not entirely my fault, altho i wasn't entirely upset by it either. the homecoming to my sergeants wasn't the most fun, after my platoon sergeant got to the FOB after me and the COP before me. such is life.

Finally Home

back at the COP

Cry Havoc

and let slip the cats of peace.

i'm bored.

Shoes

i'd have to say the best thing about leave, aside from seeing you people of course, was being able to take my shoes off whenever i was indoors. can't describe how nice it was not to have to keep my boots on whenever i'm not sleeping.

Petey the Pistol

finally got my weapon back. i am once again complete.

News, Smews

the AP has an article up now saying april is the deadliest month in iraq for 7 months. this is true, but still at far lower levels than we've seen before. there were a third of the number of casualties as the same time last year. also, while april was the deadliest in 7 months, march was the safest ever. i don't remember that article.

Explanation

the post about irish folk wisdom was because we made our euro lay over in ireland and was there when i heard that quote. too big of a coincidinc to pass up.

Back to the Future, Part II

speaking of which... i recently watched the back to the future trilogy and discovered a major problem. we only have 6 years to develope and mass produce hover-cars, holographic billboards and one-size-fits-all jackets with adjustable sleeves. we need to get working.

Back to the Future

well, it's that time of day again. the time of day when i have to figure out what time of day it is where you people are. you mistakenly believe i am writting this at 3:30am, when i am in fact writting it at 1030. trying to communicate with you is like a word problem for kids.

Irish Folk Wisdom

it doesn't matter how you find the pot of gold. all that matters is that you beat the leprachauns.
