this blog is dedicated to bob. bob passed away today from unknown causes. he will be sorely missed by all.
photo from Habas
i actually had a pretty good day today apart from the death of bob, but lets be realistic, we're at war and he's just a hedgehog. got the day off so i got to sleep in for once which was awesome. i slept in so late i cant go to sleep now. i got 2 more days off from my platoon sergeant. he mixed a thing of milk w/ a bunch of mustard and bet me 2 days off that i couldn't drink it and keep it down. well i did it and believe u me i'm collecting on the days.
i feel it's time to explain "Habas". the locals that work the laundry place at the camp here can't read english too well. they looked at my uniform and thought my name was bread. the arabic word for bread is habas, so that's what they call me every time i go in there.
so i checked my phusebox this afternoon and i had messages from all kinds of people. so many new people to get to know! totally cool. really lifts your spirits to know that people care. maybe there's hope for this world yet.
today i'm listening to Five for Fighting:The Battle for Everything. good music. thank you to cassie for introducing me to five for fighting back in the day.

AND... i introduced to five for fighting?? i can see that i guess... that's really funny tho. well, you're welcome, sir. no problem. i don't ever listen to them anymore - i've moved on to bigger and better. well, mostly country. and the occasional really awesome christian band. need new suggestions?? :)

My friend Corey Barajas is over in Iraq. He sent me some photos of this huge sand storm and it looks like he is in the exact same place you are compared to that photo.
