d00d! I google'd myself and apparently people are blogging about my essay and I was even
mentioned in the paper in Montreal (that's Canada!).
Word.
I'm in Austin now and I'm doing an interview for a documentary in about an hour. How are all
of you?
Edit: I just found out on the news that someone I was in Iraq with, has died in Baghdad....

Eek. I'm going to be interviewed for a documentary. This thing has sure exploded in my fase.
Anyway, I started a new forum for soldiers and civilians to discuss issues. If I'm the only one
posting there, it's going to be frighteningly liberal.
Check it out. Log in, post something stupid. I don't care, I need posts to gain credibility. It's like

Shit... Call me a liberal, but I don't find gay sex to be all that unpleasent, no apology necessary. I work in theatre... Men with men= any old day at the office. 
Good Jesus!
So, I spoke out publicly against the war on Sunday. No big. Well, very big according to some of the soldiers who I've talked to since, but I digress.
Last night I gave an hour-long phone interview to a reporter from the San Diego Tribune and tonight I had to turn down an offer to speak in front of a college class. Reason?...

Everyone thinks it's cool, it's not - it's potentially very scary.

i want to read your essay
Woo! The ball is slowly starting to roll.
As you all know, I'm new to Texas. Last weekend I was in Austin (I had heard about the culture and how great the city is - I agree!) and, wanting to see what was in town, I picked up The Chronicle. Leafing through the pages I came across an article under the headline "War Dad Comes...

your sweet, thank you. I hope Texas is treating you well.
Wow. I've already received four responses to my essay (which was published on Iraq Veterans Against the War).
Let's see, one was a male telling me to suck it up and how no one twisted my arm to enlist. I replied saying that he's preaching to the choir. After all, I'm re-enlisting this December as soon as I get downrange!

So I'm feeling betrayed and angry and thought I'd sit down and write a 2000+ word essay on Iraq (duh!). I submitted it to Iraq Veterans Against the War but I'm feeling sassy and think it'll make a good chain letter.
I've never created a chain letter before. I'm kinda nervous. Anyway, if you want to help, it's in the spoiler. Just cut and paste...

Hey guy!
Great piece of writing!
I share 99% percent of your views and I gained new insight from your observations. Thanks for the link to the IVAW.
Stay good.

OK, first off, it wasn't BAD. It just was not good for me.
Briefly, I go to quite a few shows around town and I have definite likes/dislikes in music. Japanese girl bands singing in a mix of piss poor english and Japanese don't even begin to roast my goose. So the opening band was a no starter for me.
The actual SG burlesque show was OK. It was in VA (pasties and g-strings) so I didn't find it as risque as I had hoped. I spent so much time in strip clubs when I worked at one and with my (dancer) ex-wife that I am probably a jaded fuck who needs to see a gorilla fucking a lion to get a thrill. Which reminds me of a joke that I will save for another time.
Senor Loins - Thank you - for your service to our country.
Take care.

Found out I'm going back to Iraq in the mid-December timeframe. So, my plan to delay my deployment by taking a long vacation worked. I actually got here the day they were leaving. haha, I felt like an asshole walking around and moving into my room while everybody else was clearing out of theirs and saying goodbye to their teary-eyed wives/girlfriends/mothers, etc....
I'll be there...

Y'know, a blackberry lost probably could be a pretty significant intelligence leak, if it reached exactly the wrong place in the field. What the army expects to do about this by making you register them is another matter, though.
Ok so... I found out what unit I'm going to and yes, I will be deploying very soon. Thing is, I went to school in Arizona with a few of the people who will be working for me (including my boss) and all of them are really cool so I'm not sweating it.
They're already deployed so I will be playing catchup. I was kinda...

will you have internet in iraq? either way- make sure i get your snail mail address.
testykitten:
i will make you yummy things!
So... when I got to Arizona last April, I was showing other soldiers copies of my orders trying to determine where I was going to be stationed when I got to Fort Hood. Sometimes the unit names can be a little difficult to decipher and I wanted the info so that I could sleuth online and find out when I'd be deploying and to where...
