Deviated Dreams

Listen to that… do you hear it? Ahhh yes the sound of Radioshack, Sears, and other assorted conglomerates getting their sticky traps ready for another Christmas full of stampeding consumers and jolly fat santa people. Its surely the time of year when cash ruptures from our ass like some kind of particle collider. I look forward to the ass rupturing though, what would our economy do without customers like me that buy really neat things that won’t likely make it past new years before it gets broken or outlived.

I can see myself now, window shopping, looking at that shiny new Apple-Peelings disposal unit “Geezus i need that, it will save me hundreds of dollars on apple peelings disposal costs, just THINK of the possiblities!”. Well im not actually that gullible but interesting enough during the Christmas season I just tend to feel more spendy. LOL Spendy is a cool word, i just made it up. If it’s already a word, then i’ve made it my word. Either way it perfectly describes the Christmas mood. =)

I didn’t get to go to the Saw Range to take this picture but one of the other soldiers got some good shots. There is nothing quite like the sound of a Squad Automatic Weapon peeling the next round off the ammo belt and simultaneously sheering the brittle links holding each precious cartridge together. Now imagine discharging several thousand rounds of ammo through that beautiful machine. Its a surreal experience that can only be compared to some kind of exotic sex. Anyways I think im getting distracted from the point. This is a badass picture of two soldiers in Task Force Pueblo. I think one is Farish and the other is Wallace. I can spot those BCG’S from 23 clicks. Well im done with this post for now, I might come back and add more shots but until then.

I don’t think I every touched base on what I did for Thanksgiving. I put in for 6 days of leave so I could go home and see my family. Got to hang out with my brothers and waste them on Halo 2, which I might add is one of the most beautifully designed games out there right now. We had fun, basically we just ate and watched TV and hung out. I also got to go to Fayetteville and hang out with my good friend Heath, IM glad that he hasn’t changed a bit. He’s fun to hang out with. Also I went house shopping while I was home. I found the place that I want and now IM just going through all the mind-numbing paperwork that is associated with anything bank related! I think IM getting signature cramps from signing too much paperwork. LOL =D “Uh doctor, I’ve been having a lot of problems with my hands cramping up. Any Ideas for what would cause this?” “Are you getting a house mortgage, or anything else banking or financially related?” “Why yes, IM getting a mortgage” “MY GOD, you have signers cramp, we need to operate immediately or you could be crippled for the rest of your li.. this week.” That’s probly a little exaggerated but hey there’s nothing wrong with being a little dramatic from time to time. Well IM out for now, wish me luck on the house and everything. Carpe Diem>>

This is a professional shot that I took for my friend Julie. I have known her for many years. She is aspiring to be a model so I have taken her under my companies proverbial wing. I’m going to help her attain any goals that she wants to meet. I don’t mind devoting resources to this project because i believe we can be sucessful with her modeling career. Just don’t forget me when your at the top, ok Julie? Lol

Forgive me father, for I have sinned, it has been 33 days, 13 hours, 37 minutes and 15 seconds since my last post! Well lets see how can I break 33 days down into something coherent and understandable thing that the average every day reader can relate to? Fuck it, I’m just gonna wing it and pray that you’ll interpret what I’m saying.

In October I flew to Kansas and kicked it with my friend Kenny. He’s probably the most trusted friend I have, he’s always been there for me and I couldn’t ask for anymore than that. We had fun, mainly we picked on his friend Darcy. She was a riot! And yes Kenny she did remind me of a mini-me Vicki. It was nice to get away from the base for a while and have fun, I helped (watched) kenny put a lift kit on his truck, I didn’t get to see it finished but I’m sure that it looks pretty fucking sweet!

After the Kansas trip I found out my little bro (Daniel) was diagnosed with cancer. That threw me for a loop, I’m not sure what desultory force in the universe worked its wronging on my brother, but it shouldn’t of happened. He is too healthy to have problems like that. But… He has been treated, and the cancer has returned to the crestfallen beyond to which it better stay if it knows what’s good for it. And then not more than 2 weeks later my littlest brother (Brian) runs his car off a bridge! He is also ok and doing just fine, if not just a little more sapient from his brush with disaster.

I can’t wait for Thanksgiving, if all goes as planned, I will be able to go home for a few days and spend some time with my family. I’m not looking forward to the drive though. =/

Also I have posted one of my most recent pictures. I’ve been doing a lot of photography lately and I really enjoy the art. The picture below is the tip from a blue erasable marker. =)

Well it’s suppose to be my day off but in the course of things somehow I got screwed out of it. A General from Arkansas is here checking things out, so everyone has to be ship shape! It’s really stressful with all the “brass”,to coin a term, around. The General walks around asking everyone how their doing and if they like it here. And for these moments everyone forgets how much they hate this place and just nod, they are too afraid to speak truth for fear of repercussions from our local command. It will be their loss for not taking the opportunity to make things right here.

I know, I know, I take pictures of weird things, but the mops looked pretty neat with the macro lens. I might be going a little insane with the camera, but i wouldn’t have it any other way.

I forgot to post this cool picture of my brother, his picture was taken for the “Army Times” newspaper. Daniel has been in Iraq for about 7 months now. I can’t wait till me and him are done with our missions so we can get back to the real world. Come home safe bro! Peace out.
