been a few days since ive been on here. a lot has happened too, although nothing to significant. i went out on another patrol. it was a cordon and knck, where we set up a barrier of razor wire around an area (usually a couple city blocks) and then marines go through and search houses of suspected insurgents for weapons and intel. i like doing ( Read more... )

I hate blogs. i hate the concept of blogs. i hate the term blogosphere. i keep this journal to keep people updated and to vent, not to make political statments on any subject. but today i am going to rant about somthing very close to my heart, and hopfully it will hit home for all of you ( Read more... )

The past few days ive used this account (made way back, about a year now) mostly as a place to vent frustration. Now that the emotional roller coaster is over, i think im going to start using it like everyone else in the world does: as a journal. i figure this'll be a good place to update folks on my status over seas. this means that it will cut ( Read more... )

could it be that ive found love at last? it seems too good to be true, last time i let this happen i wound up jsut hurt again. so thats two relationships this career choice has ruined for me, hopfully 3rd times a charm. i find myself wanting to open up, the way she has to me, but i'm having a hard time of it. i'm sure i'll come around in the ( Read more... )

Things are good again, jsut when i thought they never would be. but now they're making me leave, once again. oh well, such is the way of the world. i know i'll come back, i just hope this time somthing will be waiting for me. at anyrate, my short stay home has been amazing. i am ready to go to iraq though, not just for the chance to get out ( Read more... )
