Responsible Firearm Ownership
I’m stepping away from the Internet for this particular piece. An incident in Maryland recently caught my attention. A child brought a load .38 caliber revolver to school, and shot a classmate in the shoulder.
This brings up the subject of not “gun control”, because as I see it “gun control” means hitting you’re [...]

Blissful - Luxury of Time
January 30, 2006 | 2 Comments
I was originally just going to add an additional comment to respond to Blissful’s comment. However, as I sat down to write it, I became aware that my response was going to become a post of its own.

Blissful said…
I completely agree that [...]

Procrastination
January 27, 2006 | 1 Comment
I’ve been home from Iraq for almost two months now. Now that I am living most of the week in Birmingham, and spending the weekends at home, things actually seem fairly normal… boring as hell, but normal.
I miss the sound of small arms fire, the overhead thump, thump, thump of helicopter blades, and the feeling [...]

Internet Censorship
January 25, 2006 | Leave a Comment
Since this post is censorship related, you’re more than likely wondering why I haven’t posted this over at the Stop Internet Censorship blog I am a part of.

Afghanistan & Iraq Locals, the ultimate MacGyver
January 20, 2006 | Leave a Comment
I’ve spent about half my life down south, and I’ve seen some “redneck” rigged equipment that only works due to some kind of magic in duct tape and chewing gum.
However, the people who have done the most “Redneck Rigging” with some of the most bizarre success are the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan. I guess [...]

Fustration, Doubting Intentions
January 19, 2006 | Leave a Comment
It has been months now since the “Borden Family Trust” website went online. It’s been months, and the site still is not taking credit card donations. I for one would have donated some funds to the Borden Kids, if they had the credit card system working.

“Weren’t you Scared?!?’
January 19, 2006 | Leave a Comment
It’s still the first question people ask me when they find out that I was in Afghanistan and Iraq. I find it kind of an amusing question, and to have it be the first question always amuses me.
