The air is “RED” here in Kuwait today, so it doesn’t look like we’re going on any training runs. It’s just as well, I’m dragging ass today and the $5.50 “venti white-chocolate mocha + extra espresso shot” didn’t do shit to wake me up. And yes, I do find it hilarious that there is a Starbucks coffee in the center of the old “staging bases” from the beginning of the war. Virginia, Udari and Ali Al Salam AB are the ones I’ve seen again so far.
Kuwaiting for you to fall.
February 23rd, 2010Kuwait for the fun to begin.
February 11th, 2010Yeah buddy, things are getting really exciting around here. That’s not true – but folks are coming in now, so that means I’ll eventually be sent home to out-process from the Army, again. You can keep on asking me when that will be – but you know as much as I do. Oh, yeah, and it doesn’t do ANY good to ask anyone in my chain of command: they don’t know shit either.
Kuwait for me!
February 8th, 2010We’ve been on a rampage recently of taking stupid photos. Pretty much whatever we’re doing we find some way to take a picture or two in the process, and it’s always doing something dumb. What can I say – we have a gift.
Yeah, I’m one of those two.
February 3rd, 2010Still in Kuwait – it still sucks here. I’m hoping that some more folks come in soon. Being in a group of two when you don’t like the other half is… trying. I’m just not an easy person to be around exclusively.
The next step is admitting that you want to leave.
January 19th, 2010I keep clickity-typing away and then promptly deleting what I’ve typed. And not by highlighting broad mouse strokes of text and then deleting it, but rather by moving the cursor to the end of a sentence or paragraph and mashing my index finger down the delete key, my physical manifestation of my thinking, “That’s right bitch – I’m deleting you as hard as I can right now” which makes me about as tough as marshmallow fluff. Poet. Right here
Some things never get better.
January 16th, 2010I just got done watching “The Road.” I thought it was really good – after the bump is a list of movies / books / games that fall into the same category.
Woah, Big Gulps, huh? All right! Whelp, see ya later.
January 13th, 2010Just a couple more doodles – and a brief description of what the rest of my war has to offer me. Hint – nothing I care about except the possibility of going home someday.
Packages: No more.
January 12th, 2010Stop with the packages. If you have something you were going to send to me – don’t! I’m getting ready to move around for a couple of months – and whatever you send will just end up chasing me around this war, then around the states, and eventually to my house.
Blood stains, speed kills.
January 5th, 2010Yeah, that’s right. It’s about 7:30 in the AM here in Iraq and I can’t think of a clever title for this so I abused some Agent Orange lyrics. Whatever, I do what I want. I’m an out of control teen. Anyway, here’s two new doodles. One is a blatant rip-off of a well known Sailor Jerry flash.
Some dawlings – on Post Office forms
January 4th, 2010So yeah – the paper they make Priority Mail forms out of is really nice. It takes ink well, and you can actually layer colors over it. It’s kind of shocking that’s it’s so nice considering that it’s supposed to just be a label for a package. Anyway, here’s some doodles I did today and stuck on letters that I’m sending. Any guess where the TWR one is going?
