football and life
Current mood: anxious

Bein back in the states has made me miss two things...first off, of course.  My wife, i miss her, i finally am home and she's there.  Sucks a bit, but that'll change soon enough.  Second...FOOTBALL, but it's not in an obsession way.  I want to have the chance to introduce her to all my traditions.  I still haven't taught her 'i dont give a damn', the o-h-i-o movements or to just begin to love football and ohio state like i do.  I'm looking forward to finally getting her to Columbus to a game and into the shoe to begin to understand what buckeye football means to me...well and to buckeye nation really.  I mean come on...beat texas in austin then sing i don't give a damn about the whole state of michigan...that's commitment. 

I have played and coached football...i understand people need down time...but i'm in favor of more leagues that have a staggered schedule.  I found a new league that hopefully starts playing soon that will focus on the spring time football void...here's hoping.

Even some good Tiger baseball on tv would do for my athletic fix, guess i'm just stuck playing a bunch of golf until i can see something going on...FOOTBALL I HOPE!!!!! 

GO BUCKS! BEAT MICHIGAN!!!!!

i don’t care who sees this
Current mood: rebellious

I don't write all that often, but those of you on here actually know me and I'm starting to get fired up now that I can get back here and see the ignorance of how people perceive what we did over there.  What we did and what we are doing...it really pisses me off. 

There are alot of guys that busted their asses over there, even more that didn't come home that are being handed what amounts to a meaningless death because we are becoming what provoked al qaeda into making the attacks on 9/11.  Doubt me?  Google osama and paper tiger and you'll get enough proof.  It was his belief that the american public and american soldier would run after too much blood and bow down to him.  From what i see in the public, he must have been right...get a backbone people.  Freedom is NOT free, to maintain what we have the necessity is bloodshed.  When attacked you go on the offensive. 

I'm not going to argue the politics of the war, it's complicated.  It's too obvious that there are too many people that don't understand the problem set...even though the opportunity is there if you so chose to learn it.  Ignorance frustrates me and I'm just wanting people to know there is a reason to stand and fight.  The politics of the invasion may have been off...I really don't know, or care for that matter.  But I know that it is necessary to stand and fight.  Is it not the responsibility of a society to rebuild a society that they destroy?  Look to WW I people...leaving Germany in shambles allowed Hitler and the Nazis to rise to power...would you prefer it happening again, or are we too cowardly to pay the price to do what is right?  What ever happened to honor?  Where have you gone John?  Where have you gone Martin?  Where have you gone Joltin Joe? 

Funny, the 60s not only assassinated it's greatest leaders in the decade...they committed genocide to castrate the leaders and hero's of the future.

married life...ha
Current mood: hopeful

Well, I've been married since November.  I've seen my wife for exactly 8 days since then.  I know, give me crap, it was my choice.  Which it was, I figured when you know you know.  I always thought that was a load.  But it isn't, it's been 7 months and some change since I've seen her.  But it's still the same, now I have been in Iraq and I figure we'll have to go through that feeling out phase again when I get home, re-adjustments to each other.  Having to get used to someone being there ALL THE TIME! 

Babe ya know I love ya, I figure you'll read this one time or another.  I get envious, not jealous, but envious of the people you get to hang out with while I'm here.  I just wish I was there.  To have some fun, to go out and hit the town, to sit at home, have people over...to go on a huntin or fishin trip with my buddies and come home to ya.  Oh yeah, I got a card game I'm starting up so you'll have to deal with that...but I like my time by myself, it's the time I get to figure stuff out so I get it straight in my head, being life, situations, whatever.  I'll just have to get used to you being there all the time, and seeing me when you read me so well.  I like being around when I want to be around...guess that thing that people change is true.  I used to be all over the people that I cared about, non stop in their face, always wanting to be around, but I matured past that point.  Trust is a beautiful thing, but you have to trust yourself before you can trust another.  Some people can be very good at feeding you the lines you think you need to hear, to be able to draw from them some sort of worth...but that's something you can never draw from another person, it comes from your relationship with God and your self image.

I am happy it looks like we'll be able to live near each other, I'm not liking this distance thing.  I've had to do it in so many past relationships.  Be it a few hours, or a couple days trip from one another.  I'd prefer that 'normal' thing once in a while though.  Too many things get too hard in life, let's keep this one as easy as possible...I'm getting too old for some of this stuff.  Besides, I want to keep working with ya on that cookin thing...chicken chili, it's easy...REAL easy, I'll teach ya

I guess I need to start writing again.  It's been a long time, couple years thinking about it, since I've written all that sentimental stuff.  Heather got a sample of it...I thought it was junk, but she liked it.  Maybe I'll post some stuff, I'll have to hide it from my Army buddies though, lest I take too much flack for it. 

Back to the point, people have all these sayings about marriage...I'd just like to have one.  I will see her for 2 weeks in a couple weeks from now, then another extended period of time of phone calls when our schedules match up.  I just want to be around so we can have date nights, go out 2 steppin...you're gettin better babe...to hit a rodeo when they come through town, to go to the fair.  Go ridin, fishin, I'll start suckin it up and even go shoppin with ya...I HATE SHOPPING!  It's pointless, but I suck it up and will be there with ya to spend time if you want to do it, mind you I said shoppin, not spendin.  I still got to work on that compromise thing...guess next time on your birthday I'll go with ya to the mall and not sit in Wild Wings watchin the game.  But that's one of the things I love so much, you're just as laid back as can be that liasze faire attitude.

I still can't believe I married a cop.  Oink Oink baby!!

bout to get outta here
Current mood: loved

Not too much longer before I get gone.  I left one up here that I was emotional in, didn't mean to do it.  She is the best thing that has happened to me, she's there for me and I know will always be there for me.  She is my rock, but I am her's...I do get assertive and say how things are going to be but listen to her and always need her input, the way things should be in my mind at the very least. 

She's my baby and I'm gonna be gone for a while, but I know who will be there to see me off and who I will see running at me when I get back.  No doubt in my mind no matter the past...everything happens for a reason.

Army life

Army life is good to me, it's busy.  I travel and do something different everyday.  It's good for a person with the attention span of a gnat.  Barracks life SUCKS!!!  I mean I've lived on my own for a long time and I"m basically livin in college dorms now.  Not all that bad, get people around all the time, but I'd rather they give me money and let me get my own place so I could have my dog.

Got my deployment comin up before the year is out.  But now it's time to go have fun do some dancin before all the morons show up and they start playin that rap crap.

Stole it, but it's great...

Stuff that annoys me

I Am Generally Annoyed By:

Illegal Immigrants thinking that "WE" should give them benefits, and freedom after "THEY" broke the damn rules to get here.

People who dont say excuse me when they squeeze by you in a retail store

People who you allow to walk across the road in front of you, and they dont mouth the words"thank you", or wave in an effort at false appreciation

People who leave their blinker on when they aren't turning

People who drive the speedlimit or barely above it, and they are in the left traffic lane.

People who tailgate

People who blink thier lights or honk the horn in an effort to get you to move your vehicle out of thier way

People who tell lies to impress you

People who try to "one-up" your every story

Any language spoken in public or around me other than ENGLISH...however I am just as annoyed by people who speak English and make up thier own words or try to give words new meanings to sound cool. Speak the shit the way it was meant "DOG"

People who call me "dog"

Shitty leaders in the Army who get promoted to fast and cant lead thier way out of a wet paper sack

Shitty leaders who think they are good leaders

FAT PEOPLE....stop making excuses, and do someting about it STUPID!!

Women who whine

Women who think that every man is evil

Men who think they are God's gift to women

Men who spend thier entire life in the gym, and then they arent flexible enough to use any position but "her on top"

Those same men mentioned above who wear wife beater T-shirts in public, and they walk with thier arms flexed out.

Women who are just plain fat..or maybe just a roll or two, and they wear a shirt that allows that single roll to hang out....Also these same women generally wear jeans to tight, and expose a Thong that if it could talk would be yelling.."Somebody save me"

Parents who let their kids play at fast food restaraunts without shoes on

Fast food restaraunt workers in general. They all seem to just be very miserable, and rude..............

That will do it for now..... I forgot just how Horrible the people in this society can be.

EMINEM said it best when he sang...."if nineteen million muthafucka's could be just like me"

Cav's got your back
Current mood: Sarcastic as always

I've been away from Ft. Hood and Texas for a bit now.  I don't like it, surprisingly Texas has grown on me, as soon as I got back I spent 5 hours fishing...followed by several hours staring at my ceiling trying to fall asleep.  I had been working midnights at another post and let me tell ya that sucks.  So I still haven't transitioned to the point that I'm back on regular working people's schedules...then I got my parents tellin me they're in Carolina at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the race this weekend on turn 3.  Yeah that sucks...I missed one race already for an exercise, now I miss a chance at a second.  Seems like I'm gonna be waitin til I get back from Iraq before I see a race now.  Eh, nough complainin...I'm out try and get some sleep so I can get a good 12 hours fishin in tomorrow.

1CD sucks
Current mood: sleepy

First shot at this.  Might as well give it a shot to keep up with my buds when I deploy.  I just got done with an exercise with 1 Cavalry Division (First Team)...the big sign on post says something about 1 Cav Div wishes 4th Infantry Division a safe return home.  Then at the bottom "CAV's GOT YOUR BACK".  Which is funny to me and anyone else that has been stationed at Ft. Hood.  If you've been here you know why it is funny, I bet Cav's got your back...military people understand that one, you want to understand the joke then Uncle Sam wants you too.  Right now I'm trying to get my sleep schedule set back on regular people time and not Baghdad time.  I'm dog sitting right now for my buddy as he's up in Oklahoma with his wife and visiting family.  So I have Fellanie (Pit Bull) and Brutus (German Shepard) begging to get some food which I have none of considering I'm on a crash course diet trying to drop weight to get in better shape so I can possibly go work with 5th SF group when I get back from Iraq this time.  Anyway...I'm out I'll keep up as much as my schedule allows.  But right now I got a date to run off to... one last thing.  I hate 1 Cav because I missed the NASCAR race up in Dallas because of this exercise, I had tickets to go, but NO I had to be in this exercise.
