How can anyone say that Tom Brady is not the NFL MVP this year? He wasn't the best offensive player, or even the best quarterback this season, but MVP doesn't mean best, it means most valueable to their team. Tom Brady has thrown for a league leading 4073 years, with a very respectable 25 touchdowns, a completion percentage of 63.4 percent, and ( Read more... )

Sports-wise, it's a good time to be me. My Pistons are off to the second best 25-game streak in NBA history, second only to the '96 Bulls (who won the championship, I might add), and they could win 70 games this year. The Red Wings are leading their conference and tied for 1st in the league with a roster full of young talent and cagy veterans. ( Read more... )

Well, it was definately the worst Christmas I've ever had, but that sort of came by default. I've had a couple crappy ones in the last few years, but being away from my wife and one month old daughter... nothing could make up for that... and nothing can compare to last year's perfect holiday season. I'm getting by though, all things considered ( Read more... )

So hear I sit, in Rawah, on Christmas Eve, almost as depressed a I can ever remember being. Not because I'm in Rawah (there are a lot of guys who have been here a lot longer than I), but it certainly doesn't help. Christmas is my favorite time of year, bar none, but this year feels so empty. It doesn't seem like it's even Christmas, and I am but ( Read more... )

For the first time since the beginning of this stupid deployment, I'm actually afraid. For the first time since the deployment began, I'm responsible for another life. I have a daughter now. It all started the day before I left to come back to Iraq. I've never been afraid of being hurt or killed before. I always figured that I would just do my ( Read more... )

My daughter, Alana McClain Wozniak was born on Friday, Nov 25th, 2005 at 12:09 PM, after about 9 hours of labor. She weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces and was 18.5 inches long. I honestly didn't think I was going to cry when I saw her, but she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen (a tie with her mother). Pictures don't seem to do her justice ( ( Read more... )

I'm for the freedom of speech. There's a reason this was the first amendment to the Constitution, but when a person releases classified information or discloses the identity of an intelligence officer (especially for political gain or retribution), they should be thrown in jail ( Read more... )

Guys who didn't have enough honor, integrity, or courage to fulfill their commitments (such as joining the Army) are nothing but worthless cowards. Anyone who lies to get out of the military because their psycho girlfriend told them to should be thrown in jail for desertion. Anyone who claims that a recruiter lied to them is full of shit. If you ( Read more... )

It's a girl, and we're going to name her Alana. Today we're celebrating my birthday (it's actually August 29th), but since I'm leaving before then, I get my cake and presents a month early!

Julia's OB appointment is tomorrow (again, lol). Short of being cancelled (again), we will probably know the sex of the baby tomorrow. Pretty excited!

Also, and this isn't even close to being the same topic, but professional wrestling just isn't what it used to be.
