8 days left in Afghanistan and it's back to San Diego. Today I was strolling around an old Taliban base that american planes destroyed in 01 and I realized...I'll miss this place. Standing there among the caranage, tanks blown to pieces, femur bone sticking out of the mud, discarded weapons left from people running for their lives...I really am going to miss it. So like...

Hope you have a safe trip. My brother is on his way home from Iraq as I write this.
Let's see....new years sucked...christmas sucked (bah humbug) but at least I'll be home soon!
Yea.....Christmas in Afghanistan sucks....plus I was told last night I might be fired due to some of the Afghans who work for us stealing company money...How I got in trouble for other people stealing I have no idea...At least I'll be back in San Diego sooner! I decided to go back to school next semester so I already put in my notice with my company....might...

So I was in Kabul yesterday and I went to a Buskashi game. It originated in Northen Afghanistan on the Uzbekistan border. There are two teams on horses...the ball is a calf with its head cut off and sewed up. The riders try to pick calf and place it in a circle. The other riders try to stop the guy...kinda smeer the queer on horses....

Ok, first entry and I have no fuckin clue what to write! As to my life, well to me it's uneventful, other think it's action packed. Truth is I'm in Afghanistan working....not military! Hate military. But I am in a Taliban controlled area...they've been cool thus far, I'm still here right. Thought I would get on SG because the chicas are hot and the only...

What is it you're doing there? Can I come visit?
antihero:
Sure, come on over. You just need to get used to wearing body armor. Sometimes rockets or car bombs go off and it can rattle your nerves, if you are really lucky someone takes a pot shot at you. But as a woman you are not specifically targeted...I'm in Kandahar which is where the Taliban is still active. We are on the Pakistan boarder which is where all the opium and terrorists cross. The interesting part is that there is weed everywhere....growing in my front yard is about 20 plants...I dont smoke anymore but I'm tempted. The buds smell kind as hell with red hairs...I just like the smell of weed..too bad it makes me so tired and hungry! For work I'm a security coordinator for a company subcontracted under the US government and the UN as well. We provide security to infrastructure projects going on in the country. We hire Afghans to provide the hands on security, I just coordinate and supervise in the field sometimes. It's funny becuase I'm the youngest guy in my company by 20 years. I'm like the punk kid, yet we all make the same money, HA! So that's what I do...I'll post some pictures of me at work....
