Dammit!
I found out on Thursday that my 19 yr old cousin, Joey, is being shipped out. Take a wild fucking guess where! He left for Salem on Friday or Saturday, then is being sent to Mississippi to get "climatized", then it's off to Iraq. Fuck! My other cousin, Justin, who I graduated with, is supposed to be heading there this summer, and I found out when I went back for my reunion that an old friend that I haven't talked to in ages, Steven, is already there. This fucking war needs to end! I've felt like that since it started, but now I'm more adimant about it. Watching the news is going to be even more painful. I'll never know when I'll get news that someone I know has been killed because of this bullshit! I'm pretty speechless.
