just found out that one of my best friends who is currently stationed in england has agressive seminoma and they dont know how far it has spread. and my little brother totaled his truck and while he was in the ER getting checked out one of the scans found a large "spot" on his right lung so this is going to be a great week.....

so im staying stateside for awhile, guess that's OK with me can work on keeping my family in one piece. me and the old lady went out with some of my friends that just got back from a deployment had a good time but stayed out so late the babysitter had to stay the night. so i had to wake up early to take care of my daughter and fix the babysitter some breakfast man did i hurt. oh well the little joys of being a dad. i think i watched 2 hrs of Dora yesterday and im sure if the weather stays crappie there will be plenty more where that came from. oh well this was my last work-less weekend for the next two months so had to make use of it. hope all is well in everyone elses little world.

that is if the Military can get their shit together. freakin political BS might keep me form going due to the fact " we need you technical expertise here in case we have a MPRS system malfunction and our aircraft get grounded" WTF BS. what ever i guess we will see if they can pull through, cause it is in the hands of the brass tacks.

well i am back from my trip up the the north woods of Minnesota, lots of snow and beer. had a great time but then i get home and see that Jimmy Sullivan has pasted away and now i am sad. my prayers go out to his family and closest friends. and then on top of that i have to sell my beloved truck so i can pay off my debt to provide a more stable life for my daughter. so i guess no more camping, hunting, fishing, wakeboarding till i get everything back in order. that is unless Obama give the military a big big raise.... oh well i hope everyone had a great holiday im just glad i was actually home to spend it with my family.

chilling at the house, drinking my favorite brew, watching a decent movie called CONTROL .... it ok but my little girl keep crying poor things teeth are hurting.... tired of feeling lonely....

well i spent my birthday weekend welding a wrought iron fence around the side of my house, then i put up a wood privacy fence around the back, man it sure makes you feel old when your working on your house for your b-day turning down all the offers to go out from your friends. blah now my hands are sore from digging all those damn holes. now that im not "fresh" back from a deployment work has finally became a routine for me and i am finally sleeping some again. but a cold lonely bed in the desert feels the same as a cold lonely one at home.... oh well at least everything is starting to feel normal again. how everyone out there is all good..... i need to stop spending money on my damn house a get some more tattoos i keep putting that off man and i even know what my next 4 are gonna be..... oh well

loving life back here in America.... its been nice to be back and have the option to have a beer or two, use an indoor bathroom, A/C rocks, man the little things you miss. but granted i feel bad cause i was only gone 150 days unlike the guys who spend 18 months away from the families..... oh well looking to get some new ink soon anybody live in wichita and know of any good artists in the area?? hope everyone else is doing good.

I'M BACK!!!!! YIPPIE i didn't die, but we did loose two of my dear friends..... but i am ok i will be visiting their families next week..... i dont know what i will say..... how iseveryone?

well............ i will be in england for about a day maybe longer depending on if my plane breaks down or not, i might toss a wrench in the engine so i can stay there for a bit. but after that i will be in the wonderful sandbox for the next 4-6 months beer rations, controlled internet, stuck on a base the size of a very very very small town.... if i can't get online there then good bye everyone..... my membership will probably expire and i don't think i'm going to be renewing it just time to move on but i will miss you all, eeehhh maybe i will who knows. if anyone lives near new market and wants to meet up for a pint, or anything let me know aconstantexplosion@hotmail.com
or wearethesound@live.com if im lucky this will not be my last post....

so i had a nice weekend wakeboarding..... finally landed a 180 backflip haven't done that since i was 19.... back then i use to go to the lake with my buddies every weekend.... anyway

this week has been total gayness....... monday afternoon i woke up a little early for work since my phone was going crazy(i work 3pm- midnight) ... well my boss tells me i have 1 week to get my shit together cause im going on a short notice deployment to the sandbox(Iraq, Qatar) so all week i have been running around like a little chicken with my head chopped off trying to get things in order, not only do i have to outprocess my base but i just bought a house and my closing date isn't for three more weeks.... so i get things in order (I,E, power of attorney... ) and shit so i can still get this house and be gone for 4-6 months and figure out how im gonna move while im not even in the states!!!! but beer is helping me figure this all out.... non of this would really matter if they wouldn't have promised me i would be home till October..... but what else can a little ole sgt like me do but say " yes sir can i have another... but this time harder please!!!"

oh well, i guess now that this week is over and they are gonna give me one more week to get ready it's all good...... kinda excited for my short trip through the UK, for some reason i sure do love that place..... any way i hiope everyone is doing good..... i might have the net there but it will prob be limited access or all images will be blocked.... might need some ppl tohelp keep me sane since no one from my base will be there with me i will be all alone... GAYNESS!!!!.............
