Soju

So I have a new pet now. It's name is Soju, and it is an apricot hedgehog that we found outside in South Korea. I am so excited, I have always wanted a hedgehog. We chose the name Soju b/c 1. We found him in Korea, 2. Soju is clear, and we thought that it was an albino at first and 3. It goes along with some of the other animals names that I've had. A chocolate lab named Guinness, a pair of parakeets rum and tequila. He is currently being kept in an empty bottom drawer in an end table, but had already escaped twice last night lol. So a small cage is going to be needed. You keep them just like a hamster or mouse... it is so cool!!! lol

Tired

Man, I am worn out... that was a good PT session. Did a little muscle failure, and then played an intense game of 4 on 4 basket ball. I don't know who won, I think my team did, but not sure lol. Any way, my time here is coming to an end pretty soon. I can't wait to be with my Wife and Son. It'll be so good to relax in my own home for once. Still don't know where my next duty station is, getting a little irritating, but I should find out pretty soon. Well I've got a load of laundry in and I need some rest, latter.

*Sigh*

Ok So I haven't been doing this regularly like I am supposed to but that is ok. Things have been interesting lately. My wife's mother is at our house visiting my family. The day after she got there, my wife's sister gets herself in jail and now mom wants to go back home. The sad thing, is that my sister in-law is just going to do the same thing over and over again. It doesn't matter whether we do or do not bail her out. She is living a lifestyle that she prefers over everything and everyone else, including her own children... at least that is what her choices tell me. I could be wrong, but this is what I see. I am just tired of all the drama. I just want to get home to my wife and son so that I can be there for them... so that when something comes up that upsets my wife, I can hold her and reassure her while she cries... *sigh* Sorry, this isn't the happiest of blogs huh? Until next time, stay tuned kiddies.

*Yawn*

So it was a long day today, but thats okay. I can't wait to go home...I'm tired of it all, especially not being able to go home after a long day of work and just relax on my couch with my wife in my arms or watching my son run around and play with him. I guess I would have had to of actually played with him before in order to miss it huh? Any way, it is the small things that I miss the most about home. It doesn't even have to be Savannah, or Georgia for that matter... If my Wife and Son are with me, I'd be happy.

I also can't wait to get home so that I could play some Modern Warfare 2 with my brothers... see how our skills match up. Not trying to brag, but I think at first I'm going to kick their butts. That game is a favorite past time over here, and they guys that I play with are definitely a challenge. When the 4 or 5 of us hang out, we are more than likely playing that game. I know I sound like that is all we do with our free time, but that isn't the case. I believe we have actually played together only about 5 times, give or take a few. Now, when the weekend comes around, more than likely we will spend some of one day playing and drinking a beer or two.

Well, I am getting sleepy, and my wife is sleeping on skype, so I think I'm going to tie this up and go ahead and lay down to prepare for tomorrow.

Invader Craig, signing off....SAMMICH!!! ^__^

*Yawnnn*

Ok, so I stayed up quite a bit longer than I intended... I was playing Modern Warfare 2 with the guys and had a few beers, and it is pretty late lol. I had a blast, I kicked some tail, had mine handed to me, and got some better attachments and perks for my M4... a good night. I'm a little irritated b/c of people that I thought to be my friends have proven otherwise. One family in particular had been stealing from my family, and b/c we trusted them, we accused my brother and his friends... that is no excuse. I feel like a complete douche. I am so very sorry Chad and all your friends that we have accused. We had no ground for it in the end and should never have done it... I'm sorry. So because of this witch, things have been a whole lot more stressful in my family, as well as I don't know now how much of the crap that she has said was true... how much she has said that my mom has said or done against me or my wife is true or false... i don't know what to think about that. If she is going to steal from us when we do so much to try and help her out, why wouldn't she turn us against each other for her own entertainment as well as to get us blaming each other for what she is doing.... Argh.. as well as some one else that My Wife and I have done so much for is acting like my Wife is a horrible person to all of our friends that we don't see that often and is accusing my Wife for how crappy her life is... *sigh* I'm tired of all this drama... I wonder now if I was to kick some ones butt, would they stop treating my family like crap and stop using us? I'm usually not one to consider resorting to those kind of measures, but I am tired of it all and being a nice guy isn't stopping it. People seem to think that that just means that we are an open door for this kind of treatment. Ok, bed time, gnight.

WooHoo!!

Ok, so I am not really in a "woohoo" kinda mood but that's ok, I gotcha don worry bout a thing... lol, sorry something my Sgt. says all of the time. Any way today was interesting... one of the other guys and myself went and took all morning getting things ready so that we could roll out today, and then only Distro rolled out... figures lol. I can't go into details, Opsec and all that jazz, don't worry if you don't understand, not your place to worry about it. So I was able to get Mars Volta and today I got Gorrialz in no time at all. Any way I keep stopping and doing something else, so it might start to get pretty random. I miss my family... time keeps ticking so it wont be much longer and I'll be home ^__^ I wish that it'd hurry but oh well. Still waiting to hear from branch... I wish they'd hurry up... I really wanna know where I am going. There can't be that many people that are PCSing at the same time... I know that the Army is huge, but come on, I know that not everybody in my mos is moving around right now, sigh... I need to be patient. I don't know what all branch has to take care of so yeah. The A/C is supposed to be on, but it doesn't feel like it is making that much of a difference, hopefully I can get it to be an icebox in here... doubt it. Well I'm gonna go, want to try and see if I can beat this game on my dsi... we'll see.

Arghhh...

So I am pretty worn out, talking to my wife on skype and laying in bed about to fall asleep. I had remidial pt today, don't hit the gym real hard before a pt test, not a good idea, two days is not enough time for your muscles to recover.... I learned that the hard way. Any way, at remedial, we did some suicides, pushups, situps, and fireman carried someone a nice little distance. Sgt. said do it again so I did it again, I was the only one. I didn't move as fast as I did the first time there and back, but I made it.... and boy was I worn out lol. Well, I'm tired, so I'm gonna go.

another day

So I got my sushi last night. It was ok, not the best but not bad. Korea doesn't seem to be really big on sushi. I'd like to go to Japan and get some there. I got to play some more Modern Warfare2 and kicked some butt. I'm happy b/c I finally have a profile that is getting higher up on rank, so I get to use better weapons and perks. Any way, tomorrow is monday and I really don't feel like going back to work... oh well. I've gotta do what I gotta do. We have a field problem coming up and that'll be interesting. hopefully it won't be rainy or too hot. More than likely we are going to be miserable due to the weather.

Argh, I need to go to the gym tonight, i'm irritated b/c my arm is still killing me. I guess I could focus on other muscle groups today... the only thing is that most of the ones that I do puts strain on my arm one way or the other... guess I could do some sit-ups and run. Oh well, what ever, I'll figure something out.

Sushi sushi SUSHI SUshi suSHI sushi SUSHI!!!

Ok, so I want sushi really badly tonight... Porter apparently got drunk last night so might not be interested... :.( I just might cry now. It's been a while since we've hung (hanged) out but oh well. Failing says he is game, and Roser might be as well.

So a little about myself. I grew up in a military home, Dad was in the Air Force. I guess most of my life I wanted to or knew that I would end up joining the military eventually. I was in band all middle and high school, percussion/drums. I planned on going to college for music, but couldn't afford so I went to work. During the summer of my senior year I met the woman with whom later I would be married to. She wound up moving back to cali with her family, and after about a year, I brought her back over here. We eventually got married, I lost my job, and searched for another one... this was around Christmas time, and I couldn't even get a part time job, so I joined the Army. I was originally planning on going with the Air Force, but when I talked to one of their recruiters, he told me to lose 20 lbs and then come back and talk to him. Really wouldn't give me any information, so I thought to myself screw you too. As we walked out, my recruiter, who was in civies at the time, stopped me and my wife and started talking to us. He made a point that he was more concerned about our child that was still in her belly, and we were hooked. I went to basic, got through that without a hitch, then went to AIT and my wife went into labor while I was there. I was able to make it home for my sons birth. Eventually I finished all my classes and graduated. They then sent me overseas to South Korea, where I am currently stationed. It isn't too bad over here. There are some nice areas here. I'll be happy though when I get to my next station and I am no longer in charge of the shop or the only one in the shop. Either way, I can't really complain. God has been good to me and blessed me with a steady paycheck to put a roof over my beautiful wife and son's heads, and then some so that we can have some... creature comforts I guess is the best way to put it. It has been about 6 1/2 months since I have held my wife or son in my arms. I can't wait to see them again. Skype has been awesome for the most part. Lately my camera on my computer hasn't been working like it is supposed to, I think it might be the software for the camera... don't know for sure. Any way, sadly enough, I am going to miss my son's first birthday... I have already missed my wife's 21st birthday and that still irritates me, though nothing could be done about it. I plan on going to college, but I am not sure what for. Still want to go for music/music education but I don't know that that would be practical. I would love to play music for a living, but that is hard to do, especially when you have a family to support as well. Some day the Lord may permit, but right now I don't see that happening.

Title

Arghh.. so my wife talked me into posting again even though that wasn't her intention lol it is all good. Nothing really new to report, don't feel like telling my life story yet either lol. My are is pretty tense and sore from a workout at the Gym, that means that I'm getting better, no reason to complain. My computers camera finally worked today ^__^ actually able to talk to my wife again and her be able to see me. Lol, I advertised for her today to some of the guys, signature homes and all that jazz. I don't think they were too interested. One of them said "what is that sex toys?" when I mentioned home decor lol. Told him no but I could sell him some if he wanted lol. I think I might mention it to Zufelt, or Smith... they might actually be interested. Well I gotta go, need sleep and gotta use the bathroom/latrine. Adios.

Getting started

Ok, so I haven't done this in a while, my wife started, so I figured, Why not? So here I am. I'm not going into many details right now, just a quick "Hello, I live in this crazy world, look me I'm something special!" Lol, seriously now things are probably going to be pretty boring on this blog, but I'm not doing this for you, it is for myself to get what ever off of my chest. If you read it oh well... nothing big to me. I may wind up offending somebody. Sorry ahead of time, that is not my intention, but I know you can never make everyone happy, so I have stopped trying. Took me way too long to learn that as it is. There will be some random moments, as well as some pretty silly, and more than likely alot of inside jokes. I am not an English major, so there are going to be some spelling and grammar mistakes... sorry to all that are English majors, or just know and or care more about it than I do. Any way, I love my family, all of my family even if they irritate me sometimes. I can't wait to get back with my Wife and Son, it has been way to long, but it isn't over yet (more details another day). If you find this Blog by accident, what ever, read as much as you can stomach. If you are family or a friend and I didn't tell you about it but you found it any way, it is not because I didn't want you to know about it, more than likely this is the last thing on my mind when I find the chance or time to talk to you. All my family and friends back home, sorry that I don't keep in touch so well, the hours over here are crazy, and I am busy most of the time. Out of who all I talk to, my Wife and Son are at the top of the list... sorry but if there is time later, and I feel up to it, I'll try and talk with you then. Feel free to leave messages, I have a facebook, tend to check it regularly. Take care all of you, and see you tomorrow.

Wow, I said quite a bit more than I intended lol. ^__^
