I Guess I Thought You Had The Flavour
Each new year brings new experiences, and also the chance to meet new people.
Some of these pple come and go, and others become lifelong friends.
Perhaps others share the same situation in that some of these pple you meet are still hanging around.
The kind that you thought would fade out of your life and just be a memory.
Most have nothing wrong with ( Read more... ) -
Wait A Sec... Am I Going To Shoot This Thing?
So we got on our vehichles and headed out into the woods to play soldier last week.
Well.. actually it's more of a camping trip where we're packing heat and standing guard.
Nothing really exciting actually.
No live ammo, no real combat training.
Only training concerned manning a post four hours at a time
Which only happened twice a day.
The other ( Read more... ) -
Confessions
2006 started off on a good note.
In NYC at Times Square on New Yr's I kiss a beautiful girl.
It was a nice way to begin anew.
However since that kiss I haven't smiled all that much lately.
California was indeed my high point of last yr.
That was some time ago back in August however.
Stress comes to me so easy these days.
As I stated in my mypspace, it's ( Read more... ) -
You Can Have London, But I Want New York City
1:30AM January 1st 2006 NYC
A rodent of unusual size scampers in between the New York subway rail.
I eye it curiously as I wait for the train to arrive to take me to Brooklyn.
Sneaking a glance at megamanxz, and I can tell he's not happy.
I had met a woman that night while waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square.
Surrounded by thousands of people ( Read more... ) -
Need To Pack My Bike
Dammit of all the times to go and visit New York City
The subway workers decide to go on strike
This being the busiest time of the year in the busiest city in the country
It's going to be hell trying to sightsee with my friend while I'm there.
Guess there's going to be a lot of walking to do then, cuz I am not going to try a taxi.
It's going to be ( Read more... ) -
Just Because You Took A Wrong Turn Doesn't Mean A Dead End
I'm a connoisseur of roads.
I've been tasting roads my whole life.
This road will never end.
It probably goes all around the world.

I'd Give You My Hand If You'd Reach Out And Grab It/Let's Walk Away From This Hell
Oskar Schindler: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.
Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
Itzhak Stern: There will be ( Read more... ) -
The March To The Sea
Mama mama can't you see?
What the Corps has done to me
Put me in a barber chair
Snip snap I had no hair
I used to wear my baggy jeans
Now I'm wearin cammy green
I used to drive a cadillac
Now I'm humpin(hike) with a pack
If my shoot don't open wide,
I've got a reserve by my side.
If that one should fail me too,
Look out ground I'm coming through.

Silence Speaks To You When You're Alone
It was time for a change in scenery.
The last two weeks have been spent working long hours in the "shop", the rifle range, and spending each night in my room as a hermit.
It was time for an escape, and forget where I was.
This has to be done from time to time for me
I become moody and unlikeable after so many weeks on the base.
I spent a day by the ( Read more... ) -
Upgraded To Sharpshooter!
Jim: Ya see that? *Holds left hand out straight*
Bart: Steady as a rock....
Jim: Yeah but I shoot with this hand * Shows right hand as it jerks uncontrollably*
~Blazing Saddles(1974)
The sun is still half hour off as I sit on the ready bench looking out towards our targets 200 yrds away.
I shiver slightly watching my breath escape from my mouth, and ( Read more... )
