i owe everyone an update.

ok, so it wasn't really that bad over there in the location i was at. yes, there was a threat of mortars, but in america there is a threat of gunfire. the worst thing about being over there was the dust, the loneliness, and the lack of ties to the culture that i prefer, which i probably can't even describe right now. ok that's out of the way.

a little summary of the timeline i had was that i got deployed after about 6 or 7 weeks of training and waiting in kuwait to camp victory near baghdad. i can't really describe the post because i still don't know what rules i am under, even if i didn't tell them about this journal like i was supposed to do. hell, i was there under duress, what should i have done. as you know, i didn't reveal any kind of details anyway, just mood descriptions.

basically what i did while i was over there is i took care of inventorying sensitive items. yeah, use the filler for the most important job. it's because they couldn't handle it though. hell, to me it was a big job because of lack of cooperation. i could have worked harder, but everyone was happy with my performance anyways.

i lost a bit of weight while i was in, but i mostly lost some fat. i still need to work on that, i guess i just won't eat as much and try to get some walking and other excercise in as much as possible.

i got my old apartment back. my landlord was happy to rent to me because i am a good reliable gentleman. haha.

i am totally still out of the loop as to what is going on with people unless i have bumped into you in the last few days. maybe more people should bump into me.

i am going to be at margarita night tonight, you should come out.

i was sooo planning on writing about my experiences in iraq in a little bit more detail, but i'm not that kind of guy, really. i want to focus on my present and future right now.

wow this reads like some kind of chuck palahniuk book with its fractured ideas. good.
