Wow the feeling of impending doom is just hanging there!!  if your not in the loop then let me tell you whats up. 

have this big deployment just looming there in the fast future!  and the guys at work(not my buddy's just new cherry fucks who I make do push-ups alot!) tell me everyday that im going to get blown up AGAIN!  so blah!  ugh! 

anyway we have this new platoon sergent.  he's straight back from being a drill sergent.  hes never been deployed.  he's smaller then me! and cant hold his own in a fight.  oh yeah and he blames us for him taking away our weekends when its his idea out of the BLUE!  wow im venting pretty good today! 

the only good thing thats happend in the last couple days is.... oh wait thats right ill tell you when something does.  I need to get over this weird funk im in.

I know!  ill go for a run tonight up to monte barrico!  itll do me good its a great clear day so the mountains look really close and i can run up there and have an ice cream cone.  which by the way if you havnt had italian ice cream you havnt really lived. 

oh yeah we were doing a first aid class today and there were these pictures of iraq when we were there.  which is cool and all except it had pictures of people who were geting worked on including pictures of one of my best friends who died.  great day i got to watch a slide show of them trying to stop the bleed out of his neck!  blah. oh yeah i was in the slide show for my leg but i really shouldnt have been compared to some of the others. thank goodness they know how to hide the scarres good now in sergery.  any way im off bye!
