crazy friday with a twist

hey guys.. i went into work around 3am and didnt get off officially until after 12midnight. I am beat. My day tomorrow is officially supposed to be my weekend. I hope that SC and i can have fun... The general is getting big! I love him...

Well here is the post for crazy friday


Before I start this post, I vow I will not make any jokes using the word “dummy.” It is the most overused pun since “Poker? I hardly know her!”.
WESTMINSTER, Colo. (AP) - A motorist was arrested Thursday for driving in a high-occupancy vehicle lane with a mannequin dressed to look like a passenger, police said.
Investigators said Greg Allen Pringle, 53, was the only human in the car. HOV lanes are open only to buses, motorcycles, vehicles carrying two or more people or hybrid vehicles.
Officer Mark Watters said Pringle was southbound on U.S. 36 between Boulder and Denver. Watters said the mannequin was dressed in a gray sweat shirt and a baseball cap.
This has got to be another first. The one and only time that a man has been arrested for using a dummy in public and he WASN’T caught having sex with it.
For his crimes, Pringle got slapped with a $115 fine, public humiliation and a weekend in beautiful Guantanamo Bay! Bon voyage, enemy combatant!

nite

Been vacationing and stuff

hey guys..its only like 1 day left until i meet with SC! Iam excited. I took the general to the store with me, and he was a good boy. I think that the at is pregnant which is not good but i guess i will manage. I think i am gonna have a damn zoo around here if i dont get stuff snipped zipped and tied... lol

Well i just had a general questions for every one that was presented to me...


1) Do you remember your first love? If so have you seen them once you got older, and how was it?

2) What did you envision your life to be in 2006 about 10 years ago..

3) Does anyone want a kitty on the way?

Real Life

Well im here and i made it another weekend, thanks be to god.

I have been blessed. I sat here and a show came on msnbc about 7 guys who went to iraq and one died and 4 were disfigured. Wow! I came back from iraq without a scratch. A whole lot of close calls, but not a scratch. Not a surgery...not a broken bone...nothing. It was something... to actually take a life. To see bullets and traser fire liteerally cut people in half and they live and ask you to shoot them because of the pain and agony and you dont because you dont want to be cruel, but in a way you are is just...well speechless. Times are tuff. I did alot in iraq. I wore alot of hats. I wasa investigator, a coroner, a Dr.Phil kinda guy..hell i was everything. I have a guy like CAP who breaks all military rules and laws about enlisted guy hanging out with officers and it means something. High Rankers are hinting about another stint in Iraq or Afghanistan. Boy i love my job, but i often wonder. I had people like Suz, Holli,haley,Erin...they helped me out while in iraq. Although Suz is the only one from that bunch who still blogs, i often wonder about thr toll and effect that it takes on you true bloggers. I watched the news today about the two mines who died. I felt compelled to do something. I only can imagine what you went through. Now i have whislter, Suz, Marv, Pilot Mom... and i dont want any disgrace or sadness in your life, but it happens. I wanna thank you for being there for me.

In other news, i have like 5 days til ivacation with SC! She is cool, but demanding. She is cute, but she wants alot. Not that i cant do it, it is just differnt. it is one of those things. She is a bit older than me, and i guess she is settled in her ways! Well i hope things go well! See ya laters

Ok..crazy post friday and please pray for those miners who are trapped

hey guys i decides to post again..fir two reasons..

1) we need to pray for those 2 miners that are trapped and hope we have a better outcome than the sago mine tradegy. These guys are heros and there work keeps this country running :)

2) i figured that most ppl do half naked thur(which i wont do) or soemthing like that so i decided to do crazy story friday... i was reading a article and this is what i came across.. what a idiot!!

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Bad idea: fleeing from police in a stolen car. Terrible idea: fleeing in a stolen lawn mower. But that’s what police say a “happy drunk” did, a decision that landed the suspect back in prison for violating his parole. Police say they got a tip about a stolen riding lawnmower. When they investigated, they spotted a man driving across a cornfield near Springfield. “I happened to be driving south when the call went out, and lo and behold, off to the west there was this man bouncing through the cornfield with his ponytail flopping in the breeze,” said Kurt Taraba, a police officer in the suburb of Southern View. Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Jim Tapscott said authorities set up a perimeter while he and another deputy drove into the field to talk to the lawnmower driver. They identified themselves and told him to stop, but he allegedly tried to drive off. “I thought, ‘You’re on a riding mower, and we’re in a car,’” Tapscott said with a laugh. “He was only going four or five miles per hour, so I got out and jogged alongside him.” The driver finally stopped when police threatened to stun him with a Taser. Police arrested Charles H. Carter, 45, and returned him to the Illinois Department of Corrections. Carter was wearing an ankle monitor because he’d been on home confinement. The Prisoner Review Board will decide whether he goes back on parole or remains in prison to serve the rest of his two-year sentence for theft. Deputies have been unable to determine who owns the Craftsman mower. They said Carter had a handwritten bill of sale for it, but was unable to tell them where it was purchased or provide any other details.

Chillin

hey guys how are you.. The General and i have been just having fun. I took him to the flight line yesterday and the B-52's scared the hell out of him, but i think he will get used to it. I have 7 days until i go on a vacation and me and SC are gonna go have some fun! I also figured that since Suz ordered CAP to throw a nice heap of ice cold water on me while i was in iraq dreaming of the States. I figured that maybe if igrew enough balls, that i would have Suz order me t odo it to SC! That way i can say Suz told me to do it! :)

Well i think i may go fishing this weekend and have some fun.. well i gotta run see ya

Day not going good

Hey guys! My day isnt going good this morning. I dropped my cell phone in the sink(waste of taxpayers dollars), but im ok. I have so much to do today! I need to clean the house, give the cat and dog a bath... clean my car go to the Martin Luther King Ceremony and hopefully by then my day will start to get better.

I guess the cell phone was no longer meant for me. In other news, if you guys havent used turbotax online for your taxes do it! It is so good. I have used them for years and i love them. They check for errors and they directly deposit the cash into your account for about 40 bucks! Better than a hundred or two for rapid refun or whatever... So use them! I am going to get a nice refund ya know because of all of the donations and stuff i do during the year and i think ill donate some more when i get it. I also have to go and get the General a Air Force Flight Uniform. IF anyone comes across one for a dog let me know! :) AHHH the power of writing i feel better already! Now only if the air force will take it that i have dropped another cell phone in water that costs over 600 smackers! HMMM Now for all the people who signed a petition trying to get the blog shut down, i urge you to pick up your pens and petition that i am a nice guy and i dont need to be bitched out because i dropped a 600 dollar phone in the water! We have one signature.... ME!!!!!!! LOL Sorry... I can never stay in a sour mood for long...!

Well i guess i will go hop in the shower and take apart my phone while im in there. Maybe my manly skills will be able to fix it! Well i know it wont happen but im taking it apart anyway..


See yall later and the General says Hi too!

Weekend Comes To A End

Hey guys how are you.I hope your weekend went well. I went a picked the General up from CAPS house and he is home and the cat had to welcome him home with a few whacks about the face. Just to let him know whos boss! So after that, i went to the store picked up some groceries and i had to stop by chik fil a. I am a lean mean fighting machine now, but i think when i get 40 all of this eating is gonna catch up to me. I have a high metabloism and it is just reaking havoc right now. Sometimes i go through these spurts. Well after that i grilled some awesome pork chops and drank a ice cold bud light. Oh... the friend taht was gonna come down didnt come down because of the cat..hahahaha Oh well.

So i have been sitting here getting my clothes ready for tomorrow. I have been invited to a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service and i think it will be cool. Dr.King was a awesome guy who stood up for alot and each year it is a learning experience. About 5 years ago i had the opportunity to meet Dr.Kings Family. It was a humbling experience.

Oh this week... i also went to church. That was a...a... well experience. I grew up going to church when i was a kid, but after coming back home and going there and just closing my eyes and praying... I felt better. Ya know out of all of the times that i have been to iraq and abroad, i have yet to cry. Some docs say it is normal and some say it isnt. I guess i just can handle extreme circumstances.

So the general and i are here chilling out drinking beer watching tv typing on the computer andjust having a good time! Well i guess i will get back to you tomorrow..

See ya and thanks for being supportive.

Fishing..The Homeless Guy and the General is gone

Hey guys.. well the General and I woke up around 630 and i decided to go fishing. On the way to the lake, i dropped the General off at CAPS kids house and then i had to go and eat some breakfast and on to the lake. Well i stayed there until about 1230 and i only caught two fish so i decided to come back home. I jumped in the shower started to clean and then i realized that i needed to go out to get some cleaning supplies for the bathroom. Well as i was driving, i saw this old guy with one arm holding a sign that said Hungry God Bless. That really kills me. I mean in this country we can help other countries and give money and aid to them, but we cant even help our own homeless people. So i detoured off to Burger King grabbed the guy a 5 piece chicken nugget and a water and i circled back around and gave it to him. Now this guy was really hungry. He walked over to me took the food, told me thank you, and by the time he got back on the sidewalk, he was through with the chicken nuggets. I said that i would go back and check on the guy tomorrow. I told CAP about it and he wants to try to help the guy too.

In other news, i am having a friend come down from New Orleans today and we are gonna go out and proabaly catch a movie and or sports bar or something. She is really cool and we have been friends for a long time, but she hates cats! SO now my cat and her will bump heads..lol
Oh and one more thing for the animal lovers. I guess its a question rather than a thing, but i have a problem. I live in a apartment now, and this unit seems to be lovers lane for cats. I have to hear cats well you know.. making babies all night long and it is anooying with all of the screaming and cat fights! IS there anythign taht i can do to fix this?

See ya

Today was Rough

Heya guys, today was rough! We got up around 445 ran for 7 miles then headed to a army base about 2 hours away and worked with some TACP guys. I met an old friend named Eric there and we laughed and talked. Then we had to run 3 miles again and whew did i need that. I was so close to hurling while running, and when you do that you know your in shape :P After that we made it back to the base i went home took the General out for walk and we sat outside and watched the stars. He is actually a prettycool dog. Oh and speaking of the General. There was another yet controversial person who decides to leave arguementative comments on the blog(when will people learn that if you make a smart remark to me, then you will get one back!) about the General and us not keeping the dog and CAPS kid being a brat. Well ill tell you one thing. For a young girl being so young and tender and full of love, she deserves a dog. If i 100 dogs named General i would give them to military kids. Military kids and kids who have a parent gone all of the time can relate to it. They make a scarifice and as a loved one or a parent, there are some things that certain kids deserv. Not only kids, but families in General. So until you walk in a kids shoes in this generation who has a dad that has been to iraq and has had to read the papers and watch the news about soliders getting killed daily, then you should make a comment on being spoiled. As far as the dog goes, he is just the opposite of what you said. The dog has been very well mannerd, and he is friendly and he interacts well with kids. Now that this is out of the way, i took the General to the nursing home today and i took him to the VA hospital and we stayed for a bit. The elderly people really liked him. I wish that is country did more for veterans and the elderly people. I guess politicians think that they may never get old..lol

Well its off to bed now and i gotta take the General out for a Territory issue and we ar
crashing.. see ya

Finally moved in... I hate Moving...

Hey guys.. I am in Louisiana with all of the stuff moved, including the damn taco bell dog, then my buddies mom said that she wanted the dog.. So i took it to her and she was happy. Well low and behold when i get rid of one dog, i see some mini schauzers for sell right down the road from. So CAPs kids is like oooh uncle Hawk lets go see. I am like ok hunny, but we arent getting one ok. She looks at me with those i have just tricked your ass eys...we are getting a dog and we really equals you. So we get out and the family sees us. I am in uniform and we talk to the lady and her daughter starts to talk to me. She is like ohh i like military men. I am like oh god help me. Now the girl was hot! She was whooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo, but we werent here for that. So once i gave her damn near all of the information except my phone number and social security number and i had to deal with her touching me, CAPS kid says can yall stop flirting and lets see the doggies! I am like I didnt even flirt!!! So i said yes maam. We get to the doggies and she runs to this win little puppy. She is like ohhh uncle Hawk he is so cute. Then in some kinda way the dog starts whimpering and licking. I am like doggone it. I knew i was in trouble. So i say precious we gotta go! Your dad is waiting. She replies... Oh he can wait. Sigh... So she asks the lady how much are the dogs maam. The lady is like they are 300, but since he is military you can have him for 250.00. So then im like baby i need to check my budget. I dont know if i have that kind of money(which wasnt true but hey i didnt want this dog!) So then she says oh my dad will give yo uthe rest! So after negoitaiting back and forth as if we were two countries fighting over oil or something, here i go shelling out two one hundred dollar bills and a fifty. So the lady is like whatg are you gonna call him hunny? She replies we will call him General. So as we head out and meet up with CAP and the guys, here is his daughter running with general in her arms and she says look what uncle hawk got daddy! Im like oh i got it huh! CAP whispers in my ear and said your such a freaking PUSS when it comes to her. She has you wrapped around her finger you damn fairy. LOL SO with my chest poked out, i say that i am not. I am a man, but the truth is, when i do have kids... I think i am in trouble. So when make the trek to louisiana from mckinney with all of our trinkets and general and CAPs daughter in the car with me. So while she is sleep with general in her arms, i say General i hope you are a good dog, and he barks twice. Now for people with dogs, is that a good bark, or is that a im gonna cause you hell for years bark? So we make it home and now i had a cat got rid of a dog and in 20 minutes had a cat and a dog. What a damn pus i am. Nevertheless General has been good so far. He likes pictures too!

Also in the news we heard that a blackhawk helo went down. I am saddened. I know and im aware that at any point and time that this could have been me. From those damn RPGs to mechanical failure to small arms fire. I hear that 12 people on board died including the crew. I remember when we had trouble(read in the previous posts0 with our helo and we had to land it while the Crew Chief fixed some stuff and we had to engage the enemy without radio contact. That by far was the scariest point in my life. It wasnt being out manned, because are always outmanned. We are trained to fight 1 of me to 8 of them, so that didnt bother me. It was the fact that being on foreign soil and seeing your life flash before you eyes and actually having to take on so many people and see them fall or get cut in half was just horrific. I pray for the families. FOr those guys to go down and the Spec Ops units to get to them and they are were dead was something. I know that if we have one or two more like that im going back. I dont mind going back really, but i just...I dont know. I have grown up soo much. I was already told that i was mature, but mature makes you like you like a guy with so much potential , but not old enough to reach the potential but has past the potential that he/she has reached and doesnt know potential just yet. Maybe someone knows what i am talking about. I mean we have Saddam, and shit is crazy than it wwas before he was hiding in damn foxholes. I guess its all war in war. There are no rules. We as a sane and democratic country have tried to make rules to this war, but in reality, there are no rules. There is no sane way to kill someone. Hell if i cut him down with a hail of bullets from a .50 cal or if i had one of the maj.'s shoot missles and bullets from a jet. Shit dead is dead. Alot of people dont know really how blessed they. Alot of people think they have it bad and they complain. Complain because there jobs suck, or because they drive a raggedy car or just complain about dumb stuff. We..including me do it, but iraq makes you just realize thatstuff just aint that bad. Now we have 12 military personel's families that are gonna get that fateful knock on the door. The knock on the door that will change there lives forever. The knock that will forever play in there minds. The phone call that wil make them never ever wanna answer the phone again. I gotta run... sorry if i offended some people but i call it like i see it... love you guys see ya from me and the General

Sorry for the Delay in Posting.bad news

I got the word about two hours ago that the other squadron is heading back to iraq and we arent. WOW...That would have been four times that my feet have touched down in iraq. I am glad that i didnt go, but im.... sad that im not going. Its a mixed emotion. Iraq has a part of me. In a sick and twisted kinda way iraq is/ and was home. I will never ever be able to get the time in iraq back. So we(squadron) look at it like it was a home. Now some guys will be going home today to tell there families that they will be gone for at least 180 days so that the other guys who havent had a break will at least have a six month break from iraq. Even the best of the best get bogged down. We also get tired..People think that we are military robots. We are people too. Just trained to do the unthinkable sometimes. When i think about it, i have done alot for this country. Not just me, but alot of people. I can remember that i was in a relationship with someone once, and the conversation was like this...

Me: Hey i have some news to tell you.
Her: What? You bought me a present!
Me: Not exactly. I gotta go.
Her: Where are you going? Whats going on?
Me: I cant say where im going.
Her: When will you be back?
Me: I cant say that either. I will call you when i can.

It takes alot to just make it through that. alot of people dont understand that military families and friends go through alot. they are warriors too. They have to keep families running, take care of kids, deal with fights. They are single parents in a one parent household. If it wasnt for them, we couldnt do our job.

Also in other news, my friend the Pararescue Trooper is going through turmoil. His mother has disowned him in a way because his last two girlfriends have been non white. He has the sweetest girlfriend in the world. She is about 5'7 pretty brown skin and some very mystical eyes. She has a set of eyes that are hazel like but they are so pretty that you just cant quit looking at them. She is corn bread fed as he likes to call her. She cooks, cleans, she has a degree or two..she is involved in church and his mother doesnt like the girl because she isnt white. So he and his mother got into a very heated arguement and he stood his ground. He defended his actions and he defended his girlfriend. he told her that he was not gonna leave her unless he wanted to. The sad part of this is that his father and the rest of the family is ok with it. So now you have a guy who cherished his mother as a kid not even speaking to her. I have to say that i admire him for standing up for what he believes in, and i guess sometimes you have to pay a price to stand up for what you beliueve in. I guess that is what makes him such an avid guy to have next to your side in a firefight or just a guy thats cool enough to sit down with and have alot of drinks and beer. Life is a bitch... :/

Wel we are heading back to Louisiana with all of our stuff packed soon. We are gonna get some more training and then i think we are going Georgia!!!! I cant wait! We are gonna be going to Valdosta Ga. Its gonna be awesome... Well if everything goes ok it will. Our outcome of what we do depends on if Aerial Sharon Pulls through or not. If he doesnt pull through, the outcome of the U.S. will change forever and well... i cant say what i want to say, but if you guys know anything about the Israelis and Palestinins then you know what i mean..if you dont, please google it and you will understand...


Well i gotta head out we are going shop in mckinney. I have become the Gift Card KING!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA See ya laters...

Im In NY....having a blast..whooohoo

hey guys, I was in New York to see the ball drop! It was awesome We yelled and screamed and of course drank. I loved it. I heard that there was over a million people in times square. They had this rule that once you made it onto times square that you were sectioned off and you could not leave under any circumstances. That kinda sucked but it was for security reason. I had apple martinis and beer and some other drinks. I partied until 645am and it is 1018am now. I am kinda tired.

I am so thankful for everything, and im so glad to be here. There are so many people and families that i know that arent so happy. There were guys and girls that were lost in iraq. I made it. I guess i still have a purpose. There are so many guys that i know that had babies while i was in iraq and they are so quit and squishy! I love babies...

I am thankful foreverything.... i guess i will get some sleepcatch you guys later
