I just finished writing out two awards for Marines that served with me during OIF. I feel really good now. They deserve recognition.

This is a very USMC oriented journal.

I am going to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball Saturday. That ought to be good. My third one. And my date is damn hot.

Friday of course is reserved for the Doc H.

By absent lurker I meant only on the site. I used to post and journal a little bit more. But for me this online place was only every a brief stop on the way to meeting and hanging with all these cool folks in person. I've always been there in the real life meetings, but I thought I could also put some time into hanging out online.

It was my pleasure to meet you and to give you a couch to crash on when you were up north. Have a ball at the ball and I'll see you next time.

Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

It's good to be busy, though, eh?

There's something that's been bothering me about the afterparty Saturday after Disneyland. The more I talk with people, the more I realize that there are serious discrepencies in what people perceived happened throughout the night.

Speaking as perhaps one of the very few completely sober attendees, this observation is not in anyway chemically induced.

I sincerely believe that something very strange happened that night. I,...

i rememeber everyone who was there. as the other sober person at the party. and it being my house. it was weird. it felt like one of those keg parties in highschool where anyone can show up if they pay their 5 dollars. but we weren't getting any money.
josh:
I remember you being there and commenting that you were waiting in case something happened. I was pretty exhausted and drinking, however, so things are a little cloudy.

My computer is fixed! I can look at naked women on the internet again! woohoo

Disneyland was much the blast it was last year with SGLA. I met some new cats and reminisced with the old skool ones.

The party afterwards was... eventful.

Oh and by the way, I'm going back to Iraq in March apparently. The fun never stops around here.

Done a lot since coming home. Getting my computer fixed was not one of them. Hence, no updates until now.

I'll be heading back to Ohio for two weeks, but I'll be back on the 29th. Still plan to hit the Disneyland SGLA event.

Don't be a square. Be there.

This message is for everyone:

Thanks to all of you who sent packages, whether I got them or not (worst mail system since WWII).

Thanks to all of you who kept up e-mail contact.

I am still in Iraq. I should be coming home by October.

I miss all of you and I hope to see you soon.

It's been one hell of a ride....

So this is goodbye.

I am off to fight the good fight overseas. May this war be quick and may all our boys come home.

Feel free to post your comments on how things are going back here at home, what you're up to, and any thoughts you might have while I'm away.

Spooky has been kind enough to let me keep this page up...

I'm giving you all the head's up now

My account expires Jan. 31 apparently.

I will not be paying to stay on as I will be leaving for 6 to 8 months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I will continue to attend events until I leave, which will probably be near the end of February. For all of you whom I will not see...

Just to let you all know: I am not gone yet. I will let you know when I leave. I figure I have about a month. Maybe a little more. I plan on going to the bonfire and anything else that pops up between now and then. Sorry I missed you all at game night. I said I would go and I didn't. I wasn't...
