So another fun update:
If any of you have been watching the news recently, you'd know that Baghdad was rocked with a lot of car bombs recently. Well, fortunately, there were very very few American casualties. I really don't know all the story behind them, as I really don't have a good source of news right now (that and noone tells lower enlisted shit) but I witnessed most of them. You see, I'm on radio retrans again, where I get to stay on the tallest hill in Baghdad for a radio relay blah blah blah (I don't feel like explaining what that is). Well, I started hearing explosions over and over, and I didn't think much of it. Then I was walking outside to take a piss, as one does, and saw a lot of big ass explosions. It would have been much cooler if I wasn't in the situation I'm in. Yeah.
You also tend to get a bit of cabin fever when you're out of country for a long ass time and have noone to really talk to but the same people you've been talking to for the past eight months. Conversation gets boring and then you just start acting really fucking weird...Yeah, so any weird as "antics" you might have seen the past couple weeks in chat, well...I blame cabin fever.
In other news, not much. I should be getting promoted here in a couple of days and I'm pretty stoked about that. We're having problems finding apartments in the Hinesville, Georgia area for when I get back to the states. All the rental places online have the same three or four places, and I really don't know enough about them to want to send my wife down to sign a lease yet. Aparently lots of stuff has been happening back home, some of which are a bit personnal, so I won't share here...but it sucks cause I know that I could at least be there to carry some burdens or talk things out or something if I weren't here. Ah well, things aren't falling apart, so I'm greatful for that.
All right, peace.
