green for the army.....
well everybody, thanks very much for your prayers, and comments of comfort. you know this blog world is an interesting place. ive never actually seen any of you, but i feel like we are just the closest of friends. like a great big circle of us. and its really a cool feeling to know that when im stressed or sad or whatever y'all are here for me. so thanks to my new friends(in no certain order):
ms.cedia
ms.k
ms.zozo
mr.justanothernickname
mr.underhill(when you randomly pop up)
ms.rachel
mr.joe cool
mrs.(?)boabahn smith
mr.nice guy
THE queen
mr.pep
and last but not least mrs.val
you all are great!!
ok, on to the f-in army. i watched cnn all day sunday to see if i could be so lucky as to hear.."blah blah blah and so all the troops will be returning home" i talked to jims mom to find out what everything i had heard meant and she basically said "you can think hes coming home if you want, but hes not. he may come home sooner, but hes definitely going,vanessa". later that night i went to cnn.com and that chick with the weird name..i believe its condeleeza rice, said that troops will be there for years to come. dammit all to hell. i dont want jim to go. i dont i dont i dont. i heard on the radio today, a local guy(i think hes from pa) was killed in iraq today 11 days before his time there was over. last week a helicopter went down killing like 30 of them i believe. i just cant take the thought of him going there. everything i hear about it is bad. everywhere i turn, whether it be tv, newspaper, magazine, radio whatever is always reporting dead troops. i dont want him to go. god im a big mess....
enough about that, i know you guys are thinking i should be proud not sad. just like jim says, but im sorry im feeling selfish. i am proud of my hot army man,but I WANT HIM HERE!!dammit, i said enough of that
ok anyway, so i talked to jim a few minutes ago.and lol he was supposed to have the day off for the first time in a month. he wanted to sleep later than 3am and just be lazy. well he should have known better. they made all the men have mandatory fun. how do you have mandatory fun? how do you force fun on people? is it still fun then?lol the answer is no. the bus took them to some mall, i think the name was turtle creek. where all the army men are wondering around a mall the size of a shopping center in their bdus(uniforms)lol. how funny would it be to see like 100 army guys just wondering aimlessly around?looking bored and irritated? so my dream of coming home and talking all night long tonight was quickly killed by mandatory fun. figures
hope all is well for you guys.

Yep, blogging seems to be a success in terms of making real online friends, and not just online aquaintances. Chat rooms and IM were OK, but there's nothing like your own site where friends and folk can comment and you don't have that IM feeling of ships that have passed in the night.
We can all 'chat', get along, be supportive in different countries/timezones without having to be all there at the same time.
Great stuff.
Since I started my blog I've had more concrete online friends than ever before. I love it!

I'm sorry to hear Jim's not coming home yet. But hopefully with the elections now over out there things will calm down soon. It may not bring him home sooner, but hopefully he'll be a bit safer. Never heard about mandatory fun, but it is the 21st century so maybe it's a fad! Did you find out if he enjoyed it? :)
Hang in there and keep believing everything will be OK. And keep checking in on people - it's a good community out in cyberspace I think. I've been crap recently, but I'll pop by again soon.

This war is a disaster every way you look at it: unnecessary, badly-conducted, needlessly wasteful. Nobody should ever denigrate or disparage you for wishing you and your sweetie were completely out of it. I only wish we could all be out of it, right now today.
The only thing we can be glad of and proud of is the exemplary performance of the poor souls who have had to do the actual fighting. In spite of everything, they have done theiur country proud.
Even those fraternity members at Abu Ghraib had to be coaxed by their commander (on orders from Washington) into their little "softening up" program. I consider it praiseworthy that the U.S. Armed Forces are an apple barrel that rots only from the top down.
My best wishes and hopes to you both.
