A Declaration of Insanity.

Not really, but it just sounds cool to start off with. Ok, so I've been referred to as "Weird Smith" for awhile now. I know this is also because there are three Smiths in my platoon.

Ahhhh, progress, it fucking gets me somewhere doesn't it??

So, there were 4 days off for us, no missions, and only a few stupid little duties. But I was able to get some shit done. Did a few things on Rosetta Stone. Got the paperwork and filled it out to do online classes, just copied and emailed it to the school. Then I ordered the...

Fade to Black-Metallica I love this song!


Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live

There is nothing more for me

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost,...

OUCH!!!!! HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! So apparently whoever decides my training for overseas thinks getting OC'd (pepper sprayed/maced) in the face is a good thing to do. NOT!!! letting some asshole spray me in the face with this shit was the most painful experience in my life. Id rather get my ass kicked. I couldnt open my eyes, I had trouble breathing from my body panicking from...

Ive been int he army for over 5 years. Im going on my second deployment, this time to Iraq. The first time i went to Kuwait for a year, spent the whole year guarding a base, searching vehicles, checking IDs for people entering the base, sitting in guard towers. My mission will be a bit more interesting this time in Iraq. But obviously I cant...
