Hyped up on coffee and sugar, should be in bed right now but I am to wired to actually try to go to sleep.

Getting addicted? I think we need to have an intervention because from what I see you already are. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Actually I do the same thing, specially when I am at work. Then again after a certain amount of idle time you get logged out anyways unless you are "viewing whos online" haha.

Hmmm, I dunno! What positions in your family are you missing, or have the least of? If anything I'll totally be the crazy twice-removed uncle that the family never speaks of.

How's it going, seems like I haven't talked to you in a long while.

I see you got Pete's seal of approval for favorite newer member, nice.

Sure! I love Edward, by the way, she was my favorite from Bebop.

well thank you lol! not every day i get compared to popeye, but it's awesome nonetheless

hahaha all I'm missing are the tattoos

It's somewhat of a mix between both situations. I mean, i'd say that less than half of Coalition troops actually give a damn about Iraqis. Maybe half. The rest of 'em aren't fighting for Iraqis -- they fight for their friends, their brothers, the men next to them. From what I've heard, it was a similar situation in Vietnam. Most Soldiers and Marines didn't give a damn about South Vietnam, they fought to protect each other.

Yeah, it's pretty disgraceful how America treated its Vietnam veterans. They're a bit better now, just more covert in their insults. I've only been called "baby killer" a handful of times. The ignorance is still there, but the hatred usually isn't.

As for why I'd want to go back ... ever hear about soldiers leaving home to go to war, and leaving war to come back home? That's not how it is. It becomes your home. I spent more than a year training, eating, sleeping, living, and fighting with the men I went with -- they were my family. My home wasn't some apartment somewhere that I hadn't seen for a year, it was the scrawny little bunk I hoped to make it back to every night. It's not an issue of leaving home and coming back, it's leaving home twice. And for some people ... I dunno, we just feel like that's where we belong, that's who we belong with, and that's what we belong doing.

I'm good at two things in life. Honestly -- two things. Everything I've done, I've been decent at, or mediocre at -- except for two things. One is sex. From what I've heard -- even after breakups and such -- I've got something to be proud of there. The other? Soldiering. Leading troops, training, combat. It's what I do. I'm not really any different than the guys that find out that they're good at driving and end up racing, or the guys that realize that they're good at sports and become pro athletes. I'm good at being a Soldier.

as you can see i finally decided to change my avi, i've been wanting to do it for awhile but when i tried to upload a different pic, the ninja one didn't change for some reason.

the sig is also good and pretty funny

nice avi, when did you change it?

Yep. Totaled .. lemme think .. 737 days. I'm thinking about going back for another year, but I'm not sure.

yeah that's cool i'll be in the family. though i'm never one to be very bubbly and put my family members in my sig or anything haha.

I was gonna send you a pm but it looks like Pete caught you up to speed, lol. I'm off to bed, night Meliboo and have a good one!

haha it was glorious as is. mostly because mistress sheena, who refers to himself as victoria, is indeed a dude.
