Time.  What is time?  When I was a child I was taught it was something that everyone had but as a person gets older it grows shorter.  I couldn't grasp that concept until work came into play and now all I want is time.  Time to do things other than work or worry about work or hear about work.  I know some of you are saying that I get weekends off so there's my time, alas the life of soldier doesn't halt on weekends.  We still have to behave ourselves and watch what we do so we won't be injured, overweight, jailed, or hung-over come Monday morning.  Sixteen more years to go and then I'll have all the time I want. 

That's another thing with time, when you get old you get it back but unfortunately don't know what to do with it.  So, I've come up with my own campaign.  Anyone sixty-five or older can donate their time to us deprived of time and then we all can be happy.  It could be called the "Time for Work Switch".  

"If I could turn back time.  If I could find a way.  I would find more of it and play."

Well it's been a while but now I'm ready to blog.  The girl was found unharmed and the s.o.b. that took her is being held in the county jail.  Moral:  Meet people from the internet in public places.

Speaking of teenagers, I saw the movie "Thirteen".  This is not one of those family friendly movies, matter of fact it is a horror movie for parents.  Sex, drugs, and heavy metal.  At the end of the movie I was happy that I was a passive teen focused on school and didn't care about my social status.  Moral:  If your honor roll, conservative teenager isn't acting like their normal self, it might be worth while to investigate into it.

What is it with puking pumpkins this year?  I mean their hilarious and it makes me want to carve a pumpkin, but sheesh.  What's next pumpkin scarecrows with diarrhea?

Nov. 02 is only three days away and am I happy.  I'm sick of these political ads and whose right to serve the country and whose not because frankly I could care less who the Electors chose for Congress's scapegoat.  Moral: Don't say "Your Vote Counts" when it doesn't.

While that's all for now so until next time....

As always God bless and take care,

Every Monday I go through my new ritual of reading weekend e-mail.  Today, I thought was going to be an oridinary day until I read my parents e-mail "News from Home."  I found out today that my brother's good friend's sister was kidnapped and internet may have some involvement.  It is believed she met someone on the internet and went to meet this individual.  She knows many things about computers and deleted her conversations off the internet and now police are taking the hardrive and checking the memory in hopes to come up with this person's idenity.

I can only pray she comes home unharmed.

God bless and take care,

Childhood Memory

  Yes, being twenty-three I have plenty of childhood memories and some are very humorous.   My mother will kill me if she reads this but it will be worth it.  I love you mom(God help me!!!).

  Those of you who are reading my blogs for the first time my mother and I are very close.  She's the most awesome person in the world and a very hip mom.  She's down with the latest fashion trends and loves to have fun no matter what. 

  This memory takes place in Lingernoir PA at Idlewild Park.  My brother and I were about four and five years of age and we were at the "Jump and Jungle."  The "Jump and Jungle" was a huge rope swing a person hopped on and swung over a clearing to the other side.   Dad swung and made it.  I swung and made it.  Jason swung and made it.  Mom swung....  The doctor told her that her ankle injury off the "Jump and Jungle" was something he commonly saw in children and not adults.  The family just laughed it off and mom limped but at least her ankle wasn't broken. 

I love you mom.

Conversation of the Week

Friend: I have to learn to talk like a civilian again.

Me: Well, that's easy. Just watch tv.

Friend: You know what I mean by using acronyms.  If I say the award was late to psb because we had to put it in for a dsm and then found out he wasn't authorized, you would know what I meant but a civilian would just look at me with the deer in the headlights look.

Me: Oh, yeah, like when I say the lateral transfer had to be done all over again because the pbo changed and wanted a new justification.

Friend: You know a normal person would have said "I see your point."

Me: True, but I'm not your average normal person.

Hello everyone again.  Lisa has written down another deployment memory so check it out.  Not to be a copy cat or anything but I'm going to relay a memory from Kuwait.

We were in our third camp in Kuwait and almost everyone was on the brink of starvation from the non-edible food that they served.  It was right after pt and myself as well as a couple of others were showering, when a knock came on the door and told us we had to hurry up for 1SG's formation.  "Fantastic!" I thought rinsing and dressing as quickly as possible.  I went to formation in my pt uniform with the shirt hanging out, shower shoes on my feet, and my hair all messed as well as a couple of others. 

1SG was hollering like a preacher man trying to save our souls.  A soldier in our company had lost his 9mm and guess who was the hide and seek party?  Yep, the whole company.  We must of looked I swear for almost a half an hour until the soldier who lost his weapon spoke up and said it fell in the porta-potty.  The whole company was fit to be tied.  I don't believe any of us talked to him again until almost two months.

Well that's all for now, God bless and take care,

Hey you!  Yeah, I'm talking to you right there all lounging back with your hand barely on your mouse and drinking a can of pop while munching on a Snickers.  Don't you think you could be doing something better with your time instead of sitting in front of your computer and reading my life?  Maybe get out and go for a brisk walk or jump in the pile of leaves you raked and rake them up again? 

I remember a time when no children wanted to be cooped up in the house.  There was just too much going on outside to care what the television said.  My friends and I would play from practically sun-up to sun-down but today you literally have to beg a kid to go outdoors.  Why?  Are we so advanced now that doing recreational activities is now considered primitive?

Crisis:  America is overly overweight and too many people don't care about it.  Parents don't want to spend time with their kids so they let the television and computer do it for them and then they whine when all their children want to do is watch movies and eat micro waved popcorn.

Wake up people!!!  This is an epidemic.  We need a way to start forcing people not motivated enough to doing activity.  My solution to everyone is to cut off your power for two hours a day and get out and do something and I don't mean to go out to a restaurant.  Get involved in some kind of activity.  Play a game of baseball or kickball, go for a nature hike or bike some trails.  Do something!  I'm not saying kill yourselves or get hurt and then end up watching television or playing on the computer all doped up and in pain.  All I'm saying is there is so much do in this short life than to just live through the television.

I just had to get off my chest.  As soon as I press submit on this baby I'm going for a stroll in the rain (yes mom, I have an umbrella).

As always God bless and take care,

Not too much has been going on recently.  I now belong to a bowling league and at the end I get a bowling bowl, bag, and towel with my favorite football team's name on it.  Of course I'm going with the Steelers.  Now it's time for me to reveal my halloween costumes.  My worst halloween costume was going as the headless horseman.  I picked-up this pumpkin mask at a discount store and wore all black clothing with a cape and carried an double bladed ax.  The mask is what made it miserable, it was just hot, itchy, and uncomfortable.  My best halloween costume was going as Hulk Hogan.  I had it all and was the ultimate Hulkomaniac.

ONLY 17 MORE DAYS UNTIL HALLOWEEN!!!

Well, I am now 23yrs old but I refuse to think I'm old!!!  I'm actually more pissed off about turning 23 because it's an odd number and I hate odd numbers.  Hopefully I die as an even number!!! 

Anyway, October is one of my favorite months and not because of my birthday but Halloween is in it, and in the spirit of Halloween my page will be black and orange. Oh, how I love Halloween!!!  It gives me a reason to act like a freak and nobody asks me why.  Not to mention all the horror movie marathons that go on.  What a great holiday.  And, don't forget the candy!!!  CANDY CORN!!!  Yes, those little orange triangles of goodness that come out once a year.  Yum!!!

Challenge:

What was your favorite Halloween costume and what was your worst?  I'll reveal mine next time I write.

God bless and take care,

Jen
