Surprise surprise!

Well. They took my truck away. So now the 4 of us at CIF are crowding in a humvee. Soon probably, they will be taking my cell phone away. Which will hurt me terribly. I wont be able to talk to my sone but once a week, maybe. Although it's not like I talk to him all that often as it is. But now no one can call me at all, and it is will have to be up to me to find time to get to the phone booth to call back to the states. I'll adapt, and get use to it. No real big deal. It all sucks pretty bad but what can we do? I am at war right?

Well today we sent up some camo netting outside of our hooches so we could have a shaded area with some tables and chairs to relax by. It was nice. I offered to get get some Popeyes, yes there's a Popeyes in Iraq, and stopped by the PX picked up some Becks N/A Beer, and some Futurama vids. When I came back, to my astonishment the netting was decorated with happy birthday ribbons, confetti, balloons, and Sgt A got me a gift. I was so shocked and happy. So we relaxed, I put on a music mix (Amos Lee, Tyrone Wells, Michael Buble, Ben Harper, Mat Kearney, and Joseph Arthur) that I call Sleepy Time Mix, ate some chicken, biscuits, had some near beer and smoked a cigar. It was a definite good time had by all. MSG Garcia was there, Sgt A, Shepherd, and Major Opala. Thanks guys it was awesome, I will never forget it.
