what you see may not nessicarily be what is really happening

Well as most have read that "iraq is being said to not be in civil war" well yes when i was heading out the door of that country i know damn well they were starting a civil war so for all you politicans out there go fuck yourself because you sit in your lazyboy's doing nothing all day except bitch and complain about bush and the fact of what's going on here did you ever bother to take a look at the bigger picture and realize that maybe it's not about your fat, money grubbing self. There are young men and women out there who is a moment's notice are giving there lives for the better good of what? Yourself? selfish fuck another reason why i'm getting ready to walk out the door of the US navy now don't get me wrong it's been alot of fun in the 5 years i've been in i've meet alot of really cool people who i would go to war with in a second (haines,siv) and then i've met a bunch of people that should just be hit with a bat and left for dead. I'm still here in okinawa japan and you know coming back i thought maybe it won't be so bad i'm getting antsy to get the hell out of here and i realized just how bad of driver's okinawan's really are, it's times like these i wish i had my up armored hmmwv with it's bumper to just hit cars and shoot the rest of them. That's just me call me violent or racist i'm racist i just think that japanese people suck at driving. Anywho on other news i'm going to be getting married here in the near future not exactly sure what the date is yet but me and the soon to be wife are working the details out so i'm sure we'll both come to a conclusion. I know it's been a while since i've written in here so for that i'm sorry i've been busy with the knee getting scoped and such so haven't had much time to do not of anything except droll on myself and play videogames because they don't require to much thought. To my love felicia I love you a whole lot and I miss you like crazy and I can't wait till I can be with you forever. To the rest of my loyal listeners out there thanks again and for anybody in iraq who checks my blog leave me a message with your blog if your a blogger so i can get your addy so i can send you stuff you guys will always be supported by me. LOVE YA GUYS

I will be heading back to okinawa for 5 months or so here in a couple of days and I will say I enjoyed every single day of my leave to the fulliest. I am definitely leaving someone behind who i will miss very dearly and can't wait to get back too. I hope she does decide to move to ny so we can have an awesome relationship together. I love you felicia very much so and yes I still have some growing up to do please know that I want you in my life and have every intent of keeping you in my life as long as you can stand me :-p To all you others around there especially my bro out in the sunny desert of az I plan on taking a week in april time frame to come visit you just so you know so i'll keep you posted but we'll definitely have a grand old time. What else to my friends here in good ol hamlin/brockport ny I will miss you guys but know i'll be back soon for good this time, hopefully with my lovely fiancee in tow(i mean that in a good way :-) and we'll have some good ol times). To you chumps at hamlin ambulance I hope you'll be able to pick up the slack of me being gone while i'm gone but know i'll be back now i may not be around as much because like it says above hopefully my better half will be up here in ny with me but time shall tell, just know i'll always be around and hopefully either pick up the 2M-34 spot from cody or the 2M-24 spot from colleen. Well for now folks I'm outta here I will be enjoying my last day of being a lazy bum and love every minute of it other than the fact that I am alone(not technically but i'm missing my beautiful other half felicia). Just a thought I want to share GOD I LOVE HER!!! and i'm OOOOOOOHH SO IN LOVE WITH HER!!! and nobody can change my thought on that so if you have problems well i have this to say cry me a river build a bridge and get over it because she is in my life to stay.

That's right i'm no longer live from iraq, this is definitely a NY broadcast.

Is it possible most would say no I know otherwise

Here I am in iraq in baghdad and i'm wearing more gear here than I would be back home cold weather wise. Some ask is that possible in a desert well i'm here to tell you HELL YES! My hands yes they go numb if you don't cover them and the ears start bitching because of the wind well here I wait for my flight out of this god forsaken excuse for a"not third world country" I really have started to dislike this place a whole lot and am more than glad to get out of here. There is however a part of me that wishes I hadn't the medic in me goes what are you doing dude? You still have your guys out there and yes mind you they have another medic you know them better than anybody else our happy little dysfunctional family and our trucks that always had something wrong with them. AH yes the good ol days I know i'm not home yet but guys for me PLEASE be careful I don't want to find out one of you didn't make it home and there was something I could have done to make a difference, otherwise I'm outta here for now this should be my last entry live from iraq.

oh yes to the land of the big px I come

Well on some good news here in about 9 days I start my process of getting out of iraq. I can't wait rather unexpected news I suppose because I was figuring on being here till march/ april time frame but i'm not going to complain cutting the tour short at 5 months. I get to go home to good ol ny and there better be snow on the ground DAMN IT! I get to drive me truck I can't wait for that I haven't driven here in going on two years. I get to finally meet miss felicia and I am really looking forward to that a day that has long been waiting to come. I think I might have to fly back to okinawa first which honestly is quite stupid but who's to know I'm trying to work the leave thing so as soon as I touch down in the states I go on leave. We'll see what the asshole chief says if he does say anything at all. Anywho for now i'm outta here on a mission for the night not really sure what it is maybe to go fix something who's to know. Well felicia i love you very much. 8 days and a wake up.

Well it is closing in on the holiday's 4 more days till christmas and a week and a half or so till christmas both of which will be spent here in iraq. I wanted to also let anybody who reads this and thinks i'm single, Well I have news to post on that issue I have a WONDERFUL g/f who is caring,awesome and just damn sexy. I can't wait to go home to finally kiss her and hold her in my arms. Felicia I lovvveee you!!! *mwah* In other news I have hopefully if everything works out well less than 100 days left here before I get to go home for 30 days and a little over 8 months left in the navy till I am done with my active duty contract. Oh you have no idea how much I can't wait to get out of the navy and get on with my life and hopefully move to pa, hoping of course that felicia wants me too and get started with college. Well to all you people out there that actually read this I wish you all a merry christmas. I wish I could be home to enjoy mine but I have a job to do so I shall do it to the best of my ability.

P.S. owen if you read this let me know what the prices are going to be so I can make sure pops takes the cashola out for it. Thanks bro.

will this day ever end.

Well today started off definitely on the wrong foot as just gone down hill steeply all day hopefully someone will get on soon and raise my spirits some. I found out this morning I have a particular thing wrong with my body which was the bad news for the day. I then knowing this bad news had to drive around all day doing stupid shit nearly getting hit which just didn't help. I sleep worse than I ever have before I don't know what is wrong with my body but I can not get it to fall asleep before 2 am at all no matter what I do. I wake up at 7:30 everyday to the same old shit that I left the night before. I'm sick and tired of my weak chain of command it's just getting on my nerves that I have nobody over here that has any balls attached to them to stand up for something that they think is wrong. I find it just ridiculously stupid and dumb but me being the lowest ranking guy in my all I can do is take it smile and go on about my day. So today in conclusion SUCKED! no and's if's or but's about it nothing good thus far at 745 pm has come out of this day. I wish I could just erase this day and start over from the beginning. Well for now I suppose I'll listen to some tunes and call it a day at some point. So until tomorrow i'm off to nothingness.

interesting turn of events recently

well I find this rather amuzin and good all in the same stroke. I am at my new location and I started talking to a particular individual that as time progressed I started to like more and more, or as I like to say my type of girl. Great smile,eyes, personality, body ya know all the requirement guys like to have meow. The cool part is that I actually got the balls to tell her how I felt now you may ask who is this person what is her name. Well I don't know if she wants this information disclosed so I shall for now leave it a mystery and if you don't like that well go pound sand. Anywho in other news me old man(dad) turned a year older yesterday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!! I also just about completed my christmas shopping for this year in iraq for my parents at home. I want to get this certain individual a christmas present but I don't know what she really would like so i'm wondering what would be good I can't pull a classic Colin Surprise so that's out. DAMN IT! meh oh well i guess i'll just have to ask and see what kind of response I get. I know this individual may read this so BLAH MEOW! Otherwise life is good i suppose got a siren on me truck here so it's nice and makes lots-o-noise. I'm going to go to bed now I didn't get to talk to who I wanted too :0(

i'm here but i'm there

Well folks decided to pop my head in see what's going on. Not a whole lot we've moved to a new base, last night was rather interesting 2 hr firefight with the "bad guys" because it's the end of the holy month so there all either high or drunk so we had to go break up the fight because they were shooting at the iraqi policemen. Lets see what else exciting happened umm NOTHING we drove to fallujah today WOOO how not exciting. I got to play with marine corps frogs which I was happy about cause there old and leaky and just better than driving. For those of you who don't know what a frog is (it's a CH-46 seaknight) it's a helo. Anywho not a whole lot going on just getting ready for the second round of elections. So until next time PEACE and AXLE GREASE.

Ok now this straight pisses me off.

http://www.slate.com/id/2128621/entry/2128622/
The audacity of some people these days I swear. I mean yea I understand this guy is getting deployed to iraq and yes that's a big deal it doesn't matter who you are. I just want to know why does he have to get a front page article on a website, well quite clearly the answer is because he's a reporter. I know for a fact you don't see the common marine,solider,airmen,sailor getting any articles written about them so why should he? Which brings me to my next point, a journalist hotel gets bombed and it makes the front page of every single news paper in the westernized world but do the reporters ever bother to think about what happens on a day to day basis? how many servicemembers go home injuried or are killed so that way you can make a big deal out of a bombing. Well news flash there reporter people are getting bombed every day so what's the big deal. I know somebody who reads this is like what's the big deal, well i have this to say to you have you ever wished that the news would just once report something positive in the world instead of everything negative or that effects there own life. I mean yes that's society today pleased by the simple bad news that doesn't involve them but yet there so interested in. I want to say this in the last week the city of fallujah in various parts has been mortered 11 times, had 23 ied's go off and 4 VBIED'S go off and you don't see that making the news now do you? Do I or anybody around really care now we just want to go home plain and simple, or as we like to say fuck fallujah.(inside joke) I have to say what IED,VBIED means for you non military types out there or for you stupid fucks in the military we like to call FOBbits yes your deployed over here but you never go anywhere except to the chow hall and back, IED(improvised explosive device), VBIED(vehicle borne Improvised explosive device "very dangerous to vehicles/ground troops") but what would the FOBbits know about something like that? They sit on there base and do nothing all day except waste more government dollars on a lazy country that really doesn't even want us in it. So back to my point that I started this rant with, and just get on with your life you don't need to share it with the genereal public spare us the diginity as the common ground troop so not be embrassed by you. Well for now I will leave on this note aubrianna love you and miss ya and can't wait till that day I can finally meet you. For all you others out there eat oreas and drink milk. Oh in case you wondered what a FOBbit is, FOB stands for forward observing base and FOBbit is someone who never leaves the FOB. There you go and if you read this and your a FOBbit do us all a favor and don't bother thinking your the shit cause unless your out there trying to make a difference your just another number making the government happy. There are 2000 servicemembers who gave there life so you could be safe on your little base. Anywho i'm outta here.

P.S. for the record i'm not on a FOB i'm currently in the city of fallujah making the streets safer.

A thought on my mind

well this post is really isn't going to be a rant persay but that the same time it will. I was sitting outside earlier today and I notice how the masses of iraqi's follow the same time of religion. It's put out through a loud speaker system which supposely is them reading from the koran 5 times a day everyday. Now me personally I don't speak iraqi so i'm screwed to try to understand what they say. Which might I add gets quite annoying i'm sure even some of the iraqi's have to find that annoying at 5 am when there trying to set ied's (improvised explosive devices) and what not on the road. Anywho it just made me think why are we as american's here for the day to day monotony of there lives. I think we should leave and let them sort there problems out thereselves, some of them have the intelligence possibly to make this country right again and maybe even possibly make this country what it was economy wise. Which brought me right into my next though what do I or anybody else get out of this whole "freeing iraq deal" we spend anywhere from 6 months to a year or even more here defending there freedom, not the u.s.a freedom's now i know on recent posts i stated that i defend your freedoms and what not. Well yes I do because I am in the military and can be called on to defend against anybody with ill interests towards the us. I just don't understand I suppose other than i'm being ordered too when I go home that it will really have made a difference in this country somebody is without a mother,father,brother,sister,relative because of other's and my actions. Does that make my job unworthy, no it doesn't it just always makes me ponder what is the greater good that will come out of this conflict because more tombs being placed at arlington national cementary at what cost? I can honestly say this answer I will never know. Lets take a step back in history about 60-65 years or so to WW2. The last great war america as a whole fought in, there were evils that we were fighting not just some country that we thought had WMD's or bad people in them. They were truly disturbed people who wanted nothing more than to rule the whole world they were willing to extingish a whole race of people because they were considered weak not because they had any real reasons just because they weren't arian german's (arian-blonde hair,blue eyes). The japanese now I could see where they attacked other nations they needed resources so once again evil the evil of money has shown it's face for the good of no one. So we get attacked and draw the great american war machine into the long 5 year war that would change history as we know for that time. Mind you the war had been going on for 3 years prior to our entry. Which brings me back to today's military yes alot smaller, but alot of more high tech easier to kill the "bad guy" technology. Which brings me to what i'm getting at here, in the 1980's we trained and armed the afghanistan's so they could fight the russians because they were a communist nation. Also in the 1980's we supplied both iran and iraq with fire arms and knowhow of killing people so they could fight each other in our interests.(our being the US's interests) and then lets skip ahead about 20 years to the present day where I stand currently a war torn and battered iraq. We came here for various reasons yes but people back home wonder why young american's are getting killed. Well did you ever bother to ask our leaders or maybe the previous leaders what was really going on with there millions of tax dollars? No because we as the masses were to busy worrying about our own little pathetic lives and the lives of celebrities that were getting bad mouthed by the press to pay attention to what was going on else where in the world. So I leave you with this note you want trouble teach a foreign nation how to do things and 20 years later it will come back to bite you in the ass. You want to fight a real war, let trouble come looking for you, don't go looking for trouble cause if it wanted you involved it would have pulled you in. Enough said i'm outtta here and i know nobody is going to comment so it's just me rambling on and on again for no particular reason.

meow?

Hey folks I know my posts have been getting rather regular lately because i've had alot on my mind lately. I know i'm sure some people have gotten pissed off if they read it but you know that's one of the wonderful things about being a US citizen i can write what I want when i want it's called freedom of speech BITCHES! I defend that right so you know i think i will use it to slander if i so choose. So here i am still in the big sandbox, counting the months till i get out of here which is a little less than 5 by the way. So I suppose that's a good thing cause I get to go back to my better half soon. So i will leave on this note you fuckers who are against the war same on you i know you have your rights and what not but your son died not because he was drafted but because HE CHOSE TO! he died defending your FUCKING right to go out and there and try to slander our president and his decisions, don't be me wrong i don't want to be here just like the next man but i'm doing what my commander and chief tells me to do bottom line. Now mind you the president he's about as usually as a one legged man in an ass kicking competition. He is from texas and therefore should be excused on that reason because i've definitely noticed one thing about texans there cocky and alot of them are alot stupidier than the average human. It's like they breed dumb down there anywho i just don't like him cause he thinks he mr billy badass now don't get me wrong some of his ideas are good and what not but did we really need to outst saddam for the reasons that we did WMD's did we find any? Nope surely didn't but he's a bad man and we shall punish him. Oh well I think that the bird flu should just wipe out stupid people and all of the middle east cause they smell and there worthless sacks of shit as far as i'm concerned they can't even kill people right. We had a guy today that tried to bomb us and all he did is get blood all over the iraqi's truck stupid fucker. I bet even the devil is laughing at him going your a stupid fucker. Anywho i'm done for now. I'll fill ya in as the days continue cause I think our internet may go down for a little while soon we shall see. Well for now PEACE BITCHES!

well i'm just in a ranting mood

Well another post I feel is much needed cruised up to baghdad for a couple days, which is all fine and dandy but not to be some colonel's bitch cause you know if you want us to drive all over baghdad in the most dangerous parts well you know what you can fuck yourself. You've had 4 people killed under your command cause you wanted them to go everywhere all the fucking time and quite frankly it's fucking stupid. Your a weak commander and should be hit with a 7.62 in the skull. To you 4 and the 20 or so i'm sorry you have a weak commander, and I hope to the guys of my crew that we can just make it till we leave this freakin place. Anywho on a lighter note i'm back in the house safe and sound and with a big smile on my face cause i like where I live (which for you idiots actually checking this site) NO I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHERE I AM! so go bother somebody else. Well on another note of much annoyance I had to put on word verification on this site for those or yous that want to post comments cause quite frankly i'm not really interested in getting post on how these certain stocks are going to grow WOOO HOOO! i'm in iraq jackass i really could give two shits about the stock exchange i have more important things like hmmm lets see my life and the life of the guys I work with. So if I ever see you in person you best run cause i'm going to inflict pain on your computer for wasting my webspace. Anywho I feel better now that i've gotten those few things off my chest, I've found a very attractive/sweetheart personality girl from sc we've been talking alot and I look forward to hopefully getting to meet her sometime next year. I am almost done with the navy thing 10 months left WOOOOO!!! well until next time i'm going to jam so to all you readers out there I leave you with this

well i feel this is a much needed post for the stupidity of man

Well folks here I am again. So i was reading an article on military.com (good site) about the military warning "combat bloggers" that they need to be careful what they put on there blogger site. Well i have this to say on that matter, if your stupid enough to put your unit's location,size, and tactical strengths then you know what you should be attacked cause your just plain fucking stupid and should be hit with the stupid stick several times. I mean yea i understand the reasoning behind that the whole operational security and what not, but some people should just not be allowed to post if there gonna be that stupid. I think a good way to punish them would be shocking them with 1000 volts on there finger tips maybe that'd get the point across to stop being stupid. I know that yes i've said what city i'm in but that's very vague and doesn't really narrow it down to where i'm at and I in no way shape or form post pictures that would show my location. So i say this in closing to the idiots of the military society your dumb and i hope you get attacked cause your stupid enough to share that kind of opsec info than frankly i don't know feel bad for that individual but i do feel bad for his/her unit, cause they get sucked into something somebody else caused. Anywho enough about the stupidity of man and his lack of common sense. I'm outta here.

well i've decided to post again a little bit i guess try to clear my plate. I fucked up hardcore last night. I am an asshole and that certain individual deserves better and hopefully will get better. We lost two guys the other day and a third was injuried pretty good, to the two guys sorry that you have to go home the way you are. What else is going on well it looks like soon we'll be moving to somewhere besides here which sucks I kind of like it here pretty safe right now. Well for the most part that is. Well folks only a little under 6 months to go and I'm out of this shithole and then 6 months later i'll be back to the land of the big px and easy living. Doing what I love to do minus the having to kill people and getting shot at all the time. Well I suppose i'm gonna just go now I don't have much more to say so for now i'm outta here take it easy folks.

well this city just keeps going to shit

Well today in fallujah news got awaken to the sounds of gernade attacks and an IED going off just a few blocks away from home. So we geared up not hoping to have to do anything but prepared to bring hell the insurgents front door step if need be. The marines were out of course like a pissed off hoard of ants, so we drove around nothing found so that's a good thing i suppose. what else is going on well i'm finally going to be starting to train me some iraqi's into medic's lets see if they got the smarts to do it. Hmm got my first month just about out of the way. Tomorrow is the day that I will never forget. Sept. 11th the day 343 men of honor lost there lives just doing there normal job. so I wrote a short little quote since I will not be able to be in new york to mourn. "To you, my lost brother. we will never forget your sorrows or your times that you enlightened your brother's with the grace of your jokes, and wisdom. I will always be out there hunting for the man who caused your family to lose so much and for what cost? No man other than yourself will ever know." The lights that "touched the heaven are no longer there" but we will never forget, for you are the hero in my eyes, and nobody can take that away." Well yet another day has come and gone here in iraq I can finally see the light in the end of tunnel as my time is soon to be completed in the U.S. Navy, to my brother's in arms be safe out and remember i'll always be watching over ya. I'm gonna miss you guys.
Well I suppose for now I shall sign off for the day.

well the last post of the communist.

Well folks my time to leave is very very quickly approaching. August 3rd to be exact and am I excited about it well somewhat but not at the same time. So i will leave this as a reminder to all of those I care about out there. Remember this I will never be very far away and I will not forget the good/bad times we've had together I will miss all of you very much but I will return sometime next year. I am slowly but surely closing in on my time for when I can throw up the universial peace sign and get the heck of dodge in my dodge. I will be coming home to ny sometime in march/april time frame. To everybody out there who may read this I will give you all my holiday greetings ahead of time because I will not be anywhere near home for thanksgiving/christmas/new years. SO eat some turkey/ham what ever it is you eat for me open some presents and ring in the new year with a smile on your face for me because I will be doing the same as best as I can while i'm over there. So for now I've ranted and put enough sad stuff in here to make even my cat cry so I will depart now silently as I did the first time I left for OIF. Well stay safe out there and remember Freedom isn't free.
