Yay! I'm 32... Feh.

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 21, 2007, 1:44 PM
Gah. Another birthday deployed. I've lost track of how many Birthdays I've had in the field, and I know I'll prolly have a few more since I plan on staying in the Guard. So what's new? Not a lot. We haven't been hit by mortars since that last attack (quickly knocks on wood) and the relative quiet has most of us on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. We've developed a bit of a rep in theatre. I guess everybody thinks Scania is dangerous. Personally I think that's ridiculous, but it's neat to have the 'rep' for however brief a time.

Moral is...well let's say it isn't high. Granted I still fully support what we're doing in spite of everything, but a lot of guys are pretty bitter. I think the extension has a lot to do with that. I don't win many friends when I say I support the president and think he's doing a good job! Ah well.

Part of my job is viewing the news and I'm seeing a lot more anti-soldier articles out there. Actually let me clarify that. I've seen three recently. It's disheartening to see people forsaking soldiers who are willing to lay down their lives for them. I'm not saying you need to support the war (ok I usually do but bear with me) but setting a dummy soldier on fire in effigy is a bit much and frankly makes me an unhappy person. I can't believe there are people out there that learned nothing from Vietnam and its aftermath...

*deep breath*
Whew, almost started on a rant there.

One final note, I may be leaving county soon. And by soon I mean the army version of the term, which frankly doesn't mean 'soon'. Reason being is that I'm supposed to go to Kuwait to get an MRI of my knee, which will likely get me sent on to the US to get operated on. So that means if any of you were planning on sending me something it 'may' not get here before I go to Kuwait. Granted, just because I get an MRI doesn't mean I'm going anywhere. They may decide that I need to 'grin and bear it' until we get home. So we'll see.

That's all for now.

Being God isn't easy.
If you do too much the people become dependent on you.
If you do nothing then they lose all hope.
But if you do it right they won't be able to tell if you did anything at all.

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,



He said...no.








She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...and he said no.













She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.













She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said...













You're not pretty you're beautiful.













I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.













And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...













SO NOW I WILL SAY:












I like you because of who you are to me...A true friend.












And if I don't get this back I'll take the hint.













Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you.











Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 PM tomorrow.











It could be anywhere -- AOL, Yahoo, outside of school, anywhere.











Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.












Please send to 15 people in 15 minutes.












Remember:













"A good friend will come bail you out of jail....











But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ...












WE screwed up, but we had fun! "












Proud to be your Friend!












Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence, and don't skip ahead.












I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper.











The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.












I've learned...that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.












I've learned...that money doesn't buy class.












I've learned...that it's those small daily

happenings that make life so spectacular.












I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.











I've learned...that the Lord didn't do it all in one day.












What makes me think I can?












I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.












I've learned.












I've learned...that the less time I have to work, the more things I get done.












To all of you...make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.












It's National Friendship Week.










Show your friends how much you care.












Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means

sending it back to the person who sent it to you.












If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have

a circle of friends.

The rest of you may hate your insomnia, but I'm not sure I want a cure for mine. That's when I get all my best ideas. I'm alone, ocassionally, no distractions. My mind is racing with creative ideas and come 3 AM I feel like a genius.~Theo, The Haunting
