<br />
can ...not... wait!<br />
<br />
<br />
..moving on.<br /><br />so i've been playing a lot of guitar lately... and i'm pretty much in love with the instrument.<br />
<br />
i learn a song.. and i need to learn a new one.. a harder one.. a faster one..<br />
<br />
k that sounded dirty, but you people are sick.<br />
<br />
the point is: guitar is fun.<br />
<br />
when i get home i am sooo going on a ridiculous music shopping spree... guitars, amps, pedals, effects.... t-shirts that say "i <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> death metal" ... i'm sure i can find one some where...<br />
<br />
these damn two months need to hurry up and go by ...quickly..<br />
<br />
because all i am doing is staring at these.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/mehecanx5/woo.jpg" alt="yummy!"><br />
<br />
...i'm partial to black.. so i might go with it... but the wine red is the sex...<br />
<br />
<br />
who knows. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />

rock on, kids.</img><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ only 2 more months of this crap and i'll be home.<br />
<br />
home free... free to live a normal life, and free to see the people i've been wanting to see for so long.<br />
<br />
..on a totally non-related subject <a href="http://decomposingdreams.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/e/decomposingdreams.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="decomposingdreams" /></a> kicks ass... and lots of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
..moving on.<br /><br />now for what seems to be my monthly "guitar hard on",<br />
<br />
this lil baby<br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/mehecanx5/274597.jpg" alt="Schecter S-1 Elite"><br />
<br />
another Schecter.. but it's really really freakin sick looking.. and if it plays like the reviews say they do... then she will be MINE.<br />
<br />
then i'll pretend that i'm Zacky Vengeance from the Avenged Sevenfold and bust out some killer solos.<br />
<br />
... but it's not going to sound like a killer solo... more like noisy robot sex.<br />
<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ alrighty.<br />
<br />
my last journal was a bit grumpy... so i'll update with another one cause i don't like looking at grumpy journals..<br />
<br />
things have been a bit rough here lately... but we keep driving on.. and hope for the day we get back home..<br />
<br />
<br />
meanwhile..<br />
<br />
i found some new lovers<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
this baby i find really really sexy and original... she's not as high class as it gets... but she looks the part... and her reviews say that she's got really good action and sound...<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/mehecanx5/tempest.jpg" alt="Schecter Tempest Custom - In Wine Red finish w/ Chrome Hardware"><br />
has anyone played a schecter guitar before?<br />
<br />
<br />
but i still have feelings for this fine lady... she is a classic... loved and lusted by many.. she would be the guitar i would end up getting anyways... but don't really feel like i should get right now... <br />
<br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/mehecanx5/gibsonlps.jpg" alt="Gibson Les Paul Studio - Wine Red finish w/ Chrome Hardware"><br />
<br />
i feel like i should sort of work my way up to this one.<br />
<br />
<br />
..i'm pretty certain that this color is best.... i really love that sexy dark red mixed with violet... although i am partial to all white or all black with chrome hardware... i could really see the Wine Red keeping it's sex factor for a while.<br />
<br />
what do you think?</img></img><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
<br />
x amount of people die every day.<br />
<br />
x amount of soldiers die.<br />
<br />
x amount of soldiers wounded.<br />
<br />
<br />
it's all meaningless crap until you lose someone you know, or at the least been in the guy's presence.<br />
<br />
it's all meaningless until you see the pain of his loss through the guys that loved him like a father.<br />
<br />
it's all meaningless until you know the faces of his wife and two children that will have the world's worst news delivered to them in a well pressed Class-A uniform.<br />

meanwhile, new orleans has everything short of the apocalypse happen to it, and we are stuck in this sand bucket... wondering why we can't be there to help.<br />

<br />
so i went to the site and i fell in love..<br />
<br />
just take a look at this and tell me it isn't the hottest thing you have seen all day.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/mehecanx5/DL-625.jpg" alt="the sex."><br />
<br />
...yea.. i thought so..<br />
<br />
those guitar cases look delicious... and they sell them in white exterior with white velvet on the inside... i think that would look hot with the Gibson Les Paul Studio (shown above) i want to get in white or black...<br />
<br />
<br />
..so why am I in Iraq?  to buy a sweet guitar case...<br />
<br />
...it makes me happy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

<br />
i really can't decide who to go with. (or is it "whom to go with")<br />
<br />

go me..<br /><br />so yea... the big 2-2... it's kinda like the first taste of being old... you always wait to turn 18 or 21.. but after that there is no fun age to turn to... <br />
<br />
bleh.. <br />
<br />
oh well.. in case you're wondering... my lovely birthday in iraq consisted of a mission, a blueberry muffin with a match at the top, me wearing one of those paper cone hats that said "party girl", and flaunting it around the barracks..<br />
<br />
it's fun not giving a shit. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ *funeral music playing in the background*<br />
<br />
Dearly Beloved, <br />
   We are gathered here today to bid farewell to a dear friend.  He was not on this earth long, but he made a lasting impression.. especially on my wallet.<br />
<br />
   Oh dear laptop, why did you have to die on me?  We were so close and you kept me entertained.  Now I resort to other means of distraction, but it's just not the same.<br />
<br />
   Although I'm still making payments for you, you did your job well enough.<br />
<br />
   At least your warrenty covers it.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so... there i am in my buddy's room.<br />
<br />
looking thourgh his books to see if any of them struck my fancy.   "OOh, here's a good one." i thought as i pulled out the familiar fight club novel.<br />
<br />
i've never really read it... seems interesting... with the hell not?<br />
<br />
so in my room.. i flip through the very first pages of the novel and find this... written in pen..<br />
<br />
"Hot and Sandy <br />
   enough for ya?<br />
<br />
Chuck Palahniuk"<br />
<br />
"holy shit", i thought.. this is autographed by Palahniuk... wow? ..how did my buddy score that...<br />
<br />
so upon further investigation.. i learned that he had found that in a pile of books downstairs.... and that there where bunches of them.<br />
<br />
cha-ching!<br />
<br />
i pretty much ran downstairs, around the corner to the break room looking place with towers of old books..left by god-knows how many soldiers that have had to stay here..<br />
<br />
 and there they were.... dusty.. neglected.. beautiful... autographed copies of Fight Club given to US troops as a gift...<br />
<br />
there was still gift wrapping stuck with tape on the covers of some..<br />
<br />
appearantly the guys we had replaced here in Baghdad got em... cause they have been here since we arrived...<br />
<br />
.. out of boredom and a shitty "who-knows-how-long" rotation in iraq... i now have a new copy of Fight Club... autographed by Chuck Palahniuk...<br />
<br />

<br />
he is the fucking man.<br />

<br />
....BORED!<br />
<br />
quick update... iraq smells... <br />
<br />
now i like to kid and say things  smell.. but seriously... this place  stinks.. people don't really take care  of the trash problem.. and pooping in  the streets REALLY isn't helping..<br />
<br />
come on people.. what was Rule #1?<br />
<br />
  NO POOPIE ON THE STREET<br />
<br />
<br />
..durr..<br />
<br />
<br />
anyways.. no guitar yet.. but in the  meantime the new Green Day album has  just grown on me.. and it's wonderful..<br />

<br />
i am bringing my laptop and my digital  camera to Iraq...and hopefully i will  have time to work on things... so i  will find an internet connection  somewhere and make sure to upload some  stuff and update my journal..<br />
<br />
that might be a while... so for the  meantime... fare well... and i hope i  will be back soon <br />

<br />
i miss everybody already<br />
<br />
i have less than a month before i leave  overseas and all i want to do is see my  friends and family again... i guess you  can never have your cake and eat it  too..<br />
<br />
i cannot fucking wait until i get out  of the army and go back to college..  which brings me back as to why i joined  in the first place... i was a kind of  lost kid and joined trying to turn my  life around and help me get back on  track...  it worked.. but maybe a bit  too well?<br />
<br />
anyways.. <br />
<br />
'Napoleon Dynamite' was a damn good  movie.. and so was 'Life Aquatic'<br />
go see them both.. now<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
i had my 4 dearest wisdom teeth pulled  this morning.. which if you haven't  experienced, is quite awful..<br />
<br />
if its not the anesthesia needles  poking at your gums.. its the sounds of  your teeth CRACKING and TEARING from  the roots..<br />
<br />
i give dentists props for that.. i  didn't realize they could be so damn  brutal..<br />
<br />
fear them.<br />
<br />
<br />
..but i got prescribed pills and the  make the bad feelings go away..<br />
<br />
still<br />
<br />
my mouth can barely open... im  swollen.. can't eat any sold foods for  a few days.. and all i want is a  fucking slice of pizza.<br />

<br />
I've wanted a camera for sooo long now.   <br />
<br />
So I am asking any of you photographers  here on DA to help me out and give me  some names of some nice digital cameras  out there.  <br />

I want to get the most quality I can,  but I dont have all the money in the  world <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> My spending limit is around 1500  to 2000 bones... if its under that..  GREAT<br />
<br />
here are some features I would like on  it:<br />
+high photo quality (durr)<br />
+a screen to view the picture as soon  as its taken<br />
+flash<br />
<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ odd weekend.<br /><br />Well my band had our first live show  yesterday, and everything that could  have went wrong did.  The guitarist  broke a string, bassist almost blew his  amp, lead singer forgot the words, and  my bass pedal fell apart in mid-song.   BUT! the good part is that no one was  sober enough to care...including us.  <br />
<br />
That just goes to show, don't take  things too seriously...because Murphy's  Law is a biotch.<br /><br />mmm... did someone say food?  YEA! lets  go get some. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ lately i have been getting many angry  comments on my latest deviation.....  calling me a killer and implying that  we killed innocent Iraqis because we  enjoy it or because we can..<br />
<br />
its funny that some people can be so  quick to stereotype... <br />
<br />
What do I think of the Iraqis? <br />
   as a veteran Iraqi Freedom and a  first hand witness of the current  situation... i can say with pride that  I think Iraqis are a beautiful  people... they have high values and are  truly one of the most friendly people i  have met....<br />
<br />
even those who were pro-Saddam would  take the time speak with us, while we  were on our patrols, and show us  kindness...despite our differences...<br />
<br />
just like those who take offense to my  deviation... although i meant no  disrespect... i take offense to those  who would dare call me a part of a  slaughter of innocent people...<br />
<br />
...every single time I had to fire my  weapon, it was for fear of my life, not  entertainment...<br />
<br />
...just one soldier's say in things ]]></description>
