Yup, I think that sums it up.

Sometimes while I was Iraq I wonder what was going on in the states. Have things changed? Am I going to be confused or lost with a world I haven't seen in months? Then you come across a reassuring websites like this one and reminds me that all is still good in the USA. Thank you internet. Thank you.

Today marked the official begging of my R&R. Yes, after 10 long hard months of watching movies in Iraq, avoiding the sun at all cost, and hiding in the A/C, I have finally got some much deserved time off from the Army & the land of sand known as Iraq. So what did I do on my first day off? I went to Portland. Downtown Portland, Oregon. A very rich and cultured placed where I saw some of the

"WOLVERINES!!"This post is for my boy Scotty Lock-Nuts.Today at work we rummaged through our treasure trove of DVD's and came across this classic. Much to my surprise many of co-workers have not seen this movie. Although the movie takes place in an alternate universe AKA the 1980s, this movie is awesome. I did some research on it before writing this post and apparently it was the most violent

"This is what we fought all night to get back to?"This movie actually took a few days to finish with all the interruptions of this thing called work. But in any case the movie I have been wanting to watch for a while. It was pretty good. I liked it. I know a couple video games have been made but haven't played any those. There are some classic scenes in this movie and some memorable characters.

"Everyone on the team is a shooter"Up until this point all the movies I have watched have been feature films. So the other day I decided to switch it up a bit. I decided to watch "Why We Fight Now". This movie is a documentary about the United States Army Special Forces. With the Global War on Terror getting its extended 15 minutes of fame the letters "SF" and words "Special Forces" are getting

"Burn rubber not your soul"Let me start off by saying compared to Torque, Biker Boyz should have been awarded an Oscar and probably several Academy Awards. Not saying much but a significant improvement over the highly green screened Torque. Biker Boyz, surprisingly had a story the first problem of Torque. Despite its corny spelling the movie wasn't that bad & it had Laurence Fishburne. So at

"I live my life a quarter mile at a time""That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard."Sometimes the worst movies can be the best movies given the right timing. This wasn't the worst movie I've seen. It was actually pretty funny. Mostly because it was made in the wake of the Fast and Furious movies (there's a 5th one being made by the way). Torque is a motorcycle movie. With all the Fast & Furious

"Mess with the best, die like the rest"Interesting qoute because it doesn't come from the movie about the SAS. Its from Hackers. This movie when I saw it the fist time was amazing. It inspired me in some ways. Part of reason why I know more than the average Joe about computersand the internet. Unfortunatly seeing it after learning all I did about computers since I saw this movie years ago, the

So if you read my New Years post you probably saw something about me doing more Crossfit & Crossfit Endurance. Which unlike most New Year's plans to work out people make I've done a pretty good job of doing 5-6 a week including my mandatory Army PT. But today my Crossfit work out tried to kill me. Specifically the work out found here.It was so bad that at the end of the work out when I was

So I was told that this was probably the worst movie ever made. I don't necessarily agree. Probably because its in 4 different languages(French/Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, English) including Japanese Sign Language. Which after some research is nothing like American Sign Language. But besides it being in 4 different languages THERE WERE NO SUBTITLES! I love foreign films. Some of the best movies

"Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to."I read the book a while ago. Which is odd for me since I'm not a fiction novel fan at all. But I liked it. It read like a movie. Guess that's why they made it into a movie and probably because it made a ton of money as book they were hoping it would do the same with in film

"You know, there's a million fine-looking women in the world, but they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of them just cheat on you."Another great film. If you can bear the black & white film. For some reason most of my generation can't you will definetly like this movie. It's classic Kevin Smith you can't go wrong with it. Any aspiring movie director this is a must see and actor for that

"All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine"The Breakfast Club has always been one of my favorite movies. Great film and I'm not surprised how much I liked Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Something about movies from the 80's about the 80's are funny to me. If you want to see Sean Penn before he got stupid serious about everything in his life check this movie out. He's probably one

This movie will put me up to date with all the movies I've watched having finished this one today. I actually thought it was Fist of Fury, the Bruce Lee movie, when I clicked on it. But this is a good one too. Early Jet Li who is fast as ever in the movie and the fight scenes are well done. Dubbing is not on pare as more recent Jet Li films like Hero but who cares about the story when Jet Li is

Now this movie was pretty long but pretty awesome. I've seen parts of it growing up and never had the time to finally finish it up. Great movie. A must watch for anyone. Graphic at times but if you want to see a movie about how messed up Vietnam was none better. But most importantly: "Charlie don't surf"!See this movie. It's long but it's worth every hour. Yes, you read that right. Every hour.

This movie I have tried to watch a number of times back in the states something always interrupted it. But thanks to all the time this deployment has given me, I finally finished it. Wasn't bad. It has some cool guns scenes and the whole New World Order element. Came out during the whole Matrix thing so it got lost in the shuffle. If you're Christian Bale fan you'd probably like it.

This is the first feature film I watched care of Windows Shared Folders & Uncle Sam. Took me sometime watch, actually a couple days with meetings and the whole work thing but great film.

With this not being the "kick in the door, shoot 'em the face" deployment that may or may have not happened in years previous we as soldiers have found other means to pass the time here in Iraq. Namely movies & TV. Some guys finish entire series of TV in a matter of weeks. I too have done so. Since being here I have finished all of the The Unit, Deadwood, season 1 of The Wire & 2 seasons of Penn

Twenty-Ten, 2k1k, 2010 whatever you call it its here. A decade behind us and the whole year before us. As always no New Year would be complete without some resolutions that all of us will make, few of us will keep and even fewer of us will admit failing by end of this month. So in the spirit of so many quiting smoking, losing a few pounds and paying off the debt they never should have gotten

Sometime ago I thought I would change the way I lived. Some people saw it as me being disconnected, overly relaxed, not serious enough, lazy, etc. You get the picture. Different. I called it: "The Way of the Open Palm". I know, sounds cool huh? I didn't really know where I came up with the title until a Google search returned this. Which I thought was pretty funny having read it ( yes, I've

Christmas in Iraq. It went as well as it could have. The sun was shinning no clouds in the sky nice breeze. Just everything anyone could have wanted minus being home with their families of course and that white stuff that falls from the sky this time of the year. But then for a second it seemed like it was going to get a little cooler in Iraq. Not snow cool but cooler. Then BAM! High of 71

So I don't have my own car here Iraq. Not sure if that's news to you back home but it's true. So we ride the bus to work. I know that may seem even stranger to you but it too is true. On today's ride back to work after lunch we had a classic play over the radio:Needless to say it was pretty silent on the ride back to work.

Well if you weren't one of the privileged few to receive a personal and handwritten Christmas card from yours truly consider this it. Unfortuntaly for you that didn't get anything its your own fault. The Santa Clause here in Iraq (i.e me) didn't have your address. So I guess you could say you're not on the "Naughty List" but the "Not Known List". Tough break kid, better luck next time. Moving on.

So I've been slipping by not posting. But when faced with the amount of boredom that I was trying get through it was almost pointless to post anything. THERE WAS NOTHING HAPPENING. But I'm at a new FOB and there is actually things happening here: missions, sports, etc. So now that I'm a settled a bit I thought I would sit down and post for the first time in a I think a month.The new FOB is

Boredom gets to us. It's unavoidable. Thanks to the Internet there's a great time waster or way to pass the time and its call YouTube.Countless hours of countless peoples lives have been passed at this great Internet wonder.

Today I caught a severe case of the Staff Infection. For the viewers at home this not a physical ailment as you might think, it's much, much worse. The Staff Infection is where most officers hope to never go. It's like the Borg from Star-Trek. It draws you in and you cannot help but be assimilated by meetings, Power Points and an amount of email traffic that would make Gmail sick. This is now my

We landed sometime last night and I finally went to bed at 2am. Only to get up at 6am. This is the 2nd day here an if it's going to be like this for much longer, I'm going to be sucking. Other than that and it being as hot as a pizza oven on a Friday night. I got a roommate too. He's pretty cool guy and I'm not saying that because he's across the table from me right now.

We got into Kuwait about 215am and my internal clock is way confused. Not to mention the temperature. It was 90 at 2am. I was actually kind of surprised it was even that hot. From there they moved us to a holding area where we stood around. Some smoked, played cards, waited for the sun to come roaring over the horizon and without any warning at 5am it was bright daylight.

So I've been away. I won't deny it. But it's all been in preparation this voyage to the great Iraqi Sandbox. Right now I'm bumming some wireless internet off the good lads here at the Shanon International Airport in Ireland. Nice place, lots of construction being done. I'm sure it'll look great in a year from now. The flight over wasn't bad. I only woke up to food being shoved in my face. But

Well after a much need 4 day weekend after a much not need time at JRTC. I'm back at it. The training at JRTC was interesting. If anything it solidified my many people in platoon into a team. Which is good. But on the other hand, it also brought some issues to the surface. Which again is probably good for the most part. If anything the training was better than being back at Ole Bragg-ity Bragg.

Well we just finished up our Intensive Training Cycle (ITC) meaning that I am no longer a delivery boy of food and fuel to the rest of the Army. I'm back in the office. So obviously I'm getting some work done, i.e catching up on posting.Things are back to usual. Me sitting behind the desk, surfing the depths of the internet trying to make it to the end of the week.

So these past couple of days I've been busy....well...sorta. I get up at 4am go to work and sit in the passenger side seat of whatever vehicle I can scrouge around for. Ride around for about 3 hours delivering food and fuel. Yeah I'm like Kwikie Mart on wheels. It's cool though cause when I come instead of people being happy I'm there, they just ask where something is that I don't have. It's fun.

Today I got up at 3am to deliver food to what I was told 600 people. When I arrived to deliver my wonderful Army chow to these ever so hungry soldiers I found there was a grand total....wait for it....5 guys.

This morning I came into work and checked my email which is a normal thing to do. What wasn't normal was the email in inbox saying I had to be in a meeting at 8am. Honestly I don't like meetings. Especially meetings I don't know about with people I don't particularly care for. Plus it cut into my Physical Training (PT). The one time I have to fool myself into believing, "I did something today".

So far the today the most I've done (work related) is try to make a flowchart explaining just how little I do. The rest of the time I've been at work I've been on the internet (see flowchart).
