local charity, and my brother is a celebrity
my brother, who was just home on leave, made the local fishwrapper because he stopped to visit some folks that sent him some stuff to say thanks.

the article is interesting to me because, well, it's my brother, but it's also important to note that when people do stuff like this it is appreciated. alot of times, all you see on the news is jerkoff protestors and such, it is great to get a box from some people that have never met you, and care about you anyway.

while i was there, i got a box from my girlfriend's church's youth group. i had never met any of those folks, but they sent me some junk food and one of the best things i ever got in a package: a duncan butterfly yo-yo. they also included some notes from some of the kids.

so as a general thanks, anybody that is in a group like soar, or a church group that sends stuff, or whatever, it is important, and it is very much appreciated.

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
