It has been a long time since I looked at this site. I’ve been deployed here in [redacted], Iraq for almost 3 months now and I’ve been keeping myself busy 24/7. Iraq is not that bad, it is hot and dusty and muddy when it rains. I appreciate all of your emails, packages and your support, its hard for me to keep up so I am making a list of what’s going on with me.

  • I’ve been going to the gym everyday for almost three months now. I’m down to 5% body fat
  • I made some new friends from all over the world… (Romanians, Iraqis, Brits, and Red Necks)
  • I’m starting to hate the song “Shake it” by Metro Station because they play it on Freedom Radio every hour
  • I am also tired of AFN and their stupid commercials
  • I have a bag full of POGS, (they use POGS here instead of coins)
  • My iPhone is still working after being exposed from hazardous elements
  • Food is so good here… yum yum yum
  • I go to Taco Bell every Friday and Smoke the “Hookah” on Saturdays
  • We have a network drive called the “morale drive” it is full of movies and my goal is to watch every movies… Im still in “C”

I wish I can go on but I really can’t tell you about what we do, we have some “OK” days and we also have some “Not OK” days. Its getting repetitive, but life goes on. My communication with my family and friends is better than what I thought it would be, we have computers and WiFi, AT&T and satellite phones.

In conclusion, I am doing alright. If you want to send me something just use the contact form, I want some homemade cookies!
