I Made a New Friend

Xavier the kitty is my new friend out here... Iraq is tough, not because it's so dangerous, but simply because of the constant separation stress and lack of things happening. Add on other issues and it makes for a huge mental burden. So Xavier is helping me calm down when I'm really angry or just frustrated, and I'm helping him find his next meal haha! He's a sweet cat, kind of annoying to most people but he just needs attention and food. I actually got him to sit at the table with me today, it was pretty cool. He wouldn't eat the pork I tried to give him today, but he was pretty content to just sit near me and meow and try to get me to pay more attention to him than I was my food. Anyways Xavier's pretty cool in my book and he's way nicer than most of the other people here... Still though I'm going to have to leave him... I don't think Jack would like a Muj Kitty running around the house...

You People Suck!!!

I am tired of all the crap I patiently put up with... How hard is it to be a respectful civilized human being... Honestly I put up with so many people's bs that it's not even funny. I don't even know why I do, I could easily take people down without even trying, why do I bother being nice to people who constantly spit in my face? So to all you people who... Start crap for no reason, disrespect my wife, constantly underestimate me, yell for no fricking reason, try to act like you're superior to everyone else, and mistake my kindness for weakness... You all suck and I'd like to punch every one of you in the face... but I won't because I can not will not stoop down to your lowly child like level. Except this once... when I tell you all to go jump off a tall bridge with no water at the bottom.

I Remember...

The first time I held your hand... We were going to our first movie together, and neither of us was really considering it a date. Then I held out my hand like I was going to give you something and when you opened it, I slid my fingers in between yours... It was like perfection, my heart raced and from that moment on I never wanted to let go of your hand, or you for that matter. Well it's been well over a year since that fateful day and I still find my heart racing when I think about holding your hand, and just getting to spend every day with you. It's so freaking awesome that I get to spend the rest of my life with someone as amazing as you. Every little memory we have is just one more thing that strengthens me in this place. You keep me going when I don't want to roll over and get out of my cot, and you make me smile when I think about all the crazy and goofy things we do together. I'm truly blessed to be able to say I have the best wife in the world. I love you and I pray for you and think about you all the time. You are in my heart my soul, and my dreams. I can't wait to be with you again... I just want to hold your hand
Love "fish"
