A Big Change

I have decided to change my format on this blog. I get very upset and riled up and I blog about it. Reading my blog you may think I'm angry all the time. I am frustrated with congress not coming up with a better strategy for this war. Look, as many of you know, I've been here in Iraq for almost a year and I still have about six more months in Iraq because of the surge. We the soldiers do not need a vote by congress on whether or not they support the war, we need a plan. We are following Bush's plan because they dont have one. Like I have ranted and raved about for months, either come up with your own strategy or shut up. To all the Congressmen running for President I want you all to know that I dont trust a single one of you. Your agenda is to further your own political career and your use of anyone in the military to further your cause is despicable and dishonest. As a closing remark on this issue before I go onto far greater and more important things I plan to vote for Dr. Michael Savage in 2008! He is mulling over running and if he does, and I hope he does run, I will vote for him. If he doesnt run I will still vote for him!
With that said, lets move on to more pressing matters like Pouncy Kitty! I have a little friend, a beanie baby, who has been deployed with me for this entire time. Pouncy has had several adventures, like pouncing Superman, pulling guard duty in a tower, rooting on the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. He also has taken a trip to Baghdad and was featured in his own dramatic photo adventure "Pouncy's adventure home," when I went on leave. There are so many fun things you can do with a sidekick, especially if you really dont care if you are laughed at or laughed with. Well last night Pouncy was kitty napped and taken to the air force side of the base where he was forced into "the wet." He says this blue stuff was smeared on him and he was put under a water fall. the the lights went out and he was spun around for awhile. Cold and tired his kitty napper moved him to another area and he was tossed and thrown about in hot dankness. He says something happened because usually he can use his "darkternal vision" to see but alas it was useless in this cave. (Yes darktenal is a word, not only did I invent it I used it in a sentence. No, its not Scrabble legal but then again Liz and I dont play Scrabble anyway). He was overjoyed when I rescued him from the hot dark cave and he noticed that he smells better now too, not like Iraq but like clean. Did you have any idea that washing a blanket, sheets and a stuffed animal could be so exciting? Yes I have been here to long but I'm no longer focusing on the news, cuz it just angers me. Instead I will focus on what else is happening to me these days. I leave you with this piece of advice when restarting a work out regiment, especially a "full body workout," just because you use to do calf raisers 25 reps 4 times at 395 four months ago doesnt mean you should start out at 295 pounds 25 times. Dont forget you still need to walk the next day!
