on this date, 5,000 years ago
turns out, i share a birthday with bono and donovan, the singers.

and much cooler than that, this is the ten year anniversary of the day john wayne gacy was executed.

i also found out i got accepted into college, just a community college but it's a starting place, anyway.

i know nobody else cares about any of this, but hey, it's my blog, just scroll down to get to some more important stuff

it's also interesting to me to read the "one year ago" news, because at this time one year ago i was sitting in kuwait waiting to go north, and wasn't really catching much news.

my girlfriend asked me last night if i feel any older than i did last year. the answer, yes, i'm a fuckin ton older, it's been a bitch year for both of us.

but now we get to see where the next year takes us, and have the opportunity to make it better. which i certainly plan to do.

howdy, thanks for stopping by. what you're looking at is the intermittent ramblings of an iraqi vet, college student, goth-poseur, comic book reading, cheesy horror loving, punk listening, right-leaning, tech-obsessed, poorly typing, proudly self-proclaimed geek. occasionally, probably due to these odd combinations, i like to think i have some interesting things to say; this is where they wind up.



"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us...We need the books that affect us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside of us.
-Kafka
