im so happy, oh so happy

ahem, i have an announcement…

by the request of my one and only fan, i will post yet another entry onto the web, where the only place else it is stored, is in the the tiny little corner of my mind, tucked away under a heavy wool blanket. today to sunday i think. time really doesnt matter anymore. its just a…what do you call it?..a…people call it something..void in space or something like that… ANYWAY, yesterday we rolled into kuwait from iraq. our last road trip and the reason for the header. OUR TOUR IN IRAQ IS OVER, and what a year it had been. keeping busy has really helped the time go by quickly and we have just a few weeks here in kuwait and then its off to beachs and bbq’s. im glad that our time is up, but i really dont want to leave in a sorta wierd way. we are doing alot of great things to help the iraqi people, of which most it NEVER gets put on the news and i dont want to leave my fellow brother (and sisters) in arms while i go home. wierd? a year is hella long to be away from home and i cant wait to get back, but a part of me wants to stay and help some more…on a differant note, kuwait is a non hostile area, so its wierd being here after a combative zone. they want everything kinna like home, but not. i dont understand most of the time but a few more weeks and it will all be through. what still gets me is the big noises and trembling gound. always thinking mortars…i hope this will all leave my system when i get home… theres still alot of work that needs to be done before we are truly done so my brain is a little fried right now…but right now i would like to take the time to thank every person in every branch of the United States military. i have alot of pride in the Army and forever we will have tension between branches, but for every Soldier, Marine, Airman, and Salior out there, i thank you for serving our country. no closer bond is built than when you fight next to someone, no matter what branch, and your life depends on them.

and lastly, (it may sound cliche) i give thanks to my God Almighty, Jehovah. i know he has watched over me and kept me safe this past year. thank you..

and last on the list, in the fine print, footnote type font, there is someone who encourages to get information off your chest. thanks mother of 3…oh, a.k.a. lynn
mahalo…
and im out…the next post will come when we are back in HAWAII BABY!!!

what is happening?

January 28th, 2005

no one knows me. i am alone although constantly surrounded by people. its vent time…

i am the oldest of 6 kids and only 23. the youngest is 13. i am in Iraq right now and have been here for 10 months. in a few more months with our fingers crossed we get to come home. this is not a sob story to get people to feel bad for me or anything like that. writing helps me because its very hard for me to talk to people about my problems. everyone has their own things to deal with and i dont want other people to think about mine when they have their own to worry about. ya know? and plus no one will probably read this so yeah..

anyway, i talked to my mom the other day. a year can pass by so quickly and nothing can change. then all of a sudden you get hit multiple times. being the oldest without my dad, i feel like i have always had to look out for my brothers and sisters. always being the glue to hold everyone. times change, people change. so im talking with my mom and she tells me that someone in my family is getting married. yeah, thats right. married. someone YOUGNER that me in my family is getting married. what the fuck is going on? it wasnt someone i was expecting to being with. its one of my sisters. and not the one with the kid already. my sister who hasnt even graduated high school is getting marreid BEFORE i come home! im going mento ova here! some guy who i dont know, havent met, havent spoken to and have SEEN once is gonna marry my sister. am i alone here? there are so many other factors that i cant even think of right now. oh man.

on top of that, my mom tells me, dont worry, you can make it to my wedding.. WTF!!! slapped in the face twice. i cant believe this. dont tell me my mom is thinking marriage also. oh lord help me. alright. fine. i go to sleep that night and hopefully ill feel better about things in the morning. i did and a little. i call my brother who is a year younger than me to let him know. we have always been close in a way i guess. so im the first to know (besides my mom) about my sister and this crazy marriage. my brother seems so non-chalant about it all…”stupid kids.” so anyway i fill him on everything i know. and then HE drops a bomb on me. oh yeah, no on knows im moving to the mainland he says oh so casually. GAH! i wanna choke someone. when? thinking about right BEFORE i get back. i cant believe this. i leave and my family starts going absolutly MENTAL! a few more months and ill be back and deal with all of this. (and i didnt even mention my other sister thats going to give me a nephew) mento i tell you. abso-fricken-lutely mento. all i know is that when i do get home after this year long tour in the desert, my entire family better be there or i will be extreamly hurt. i dont even know what to do if they arnt there. soemone please tell me what is happening?

yay
