Fortunately there was no fire fight as we convoyed to Taqqadem from Abu Ghraib. As we pulled away I looked at the prison and thought "If all goes as planned I'll never see this place again. What do I want my final image of it to be

I love how every time I take my shirt off people have to inform me of how pale my skin is. "Yeah, I know. I've had it for 21 years now."

Oh how I understand..no so much the takin off the shirt thing though...this usually occurs when I wear shorts! People can be so helpful in pointing that out....

26 years...and people still haven't figured out that I KNOW I'm blindingly white. You don't need to tell us anymore....sigh, but they will.

Alas, I have my own burden. While still being rather pale, I have that skin contrasted against a thicket of dark brown hair.

I once, in a moment of curiously that I will be forever kicking remember in horror, shaved my chest. When I looked down at it for the first time, my pupils actually shut completely.

You've had your sleeves down for the past few months. I think I have a farmer's tan that will never go away.

Hi let's talk about BLACK hair Garrison. Yea that's right!!! Nothing like a good old Black Crayola next to the always overlooked White one... the exact realization of this is where my hairline meets my forhead

OH and lets throw in freakles (sure that isn't spelled right)... that always helps the kids point and laugh more

Chest shaving...

[fattred1]

I've done the shaved chest thing a few times here...Oddly I can coincide those times I shaved my chest with the rises in activity from the insurgency.

Possibly they think the U.S. has unleased a 2nd Sun on them and are trying to stop it.
