"Turn & Face the Strain"

Keeping with the Change theme, thought I'd throw in a little Bowie.
So what Change is there now? You may ask. Not much really, I'd just heard that everyone couldn't comment on the blog, so I made some Changes. Try it out, you might have noticed the Parental Advisory too, fact is I couldn't remember if I swore in this thing at all or not and I didn't want to get shut down. Wouldn't want to deny what the public is clamouring for would I?
I thought I had something but then I realized that I didn't so this will be short. I will have some pictures of the progress on my hair sooner or later. The thing is that I already need a haircut, that is the hardest part I think, having to get my hair cut so much. But I will endeavor to do my best here.
Also I went out during the dust storm and took a couple of pictures. Wish I could accurately describe the taste it leaves in one's mouth. I will work on that too I suppose, got nothing but time really...
Cheers,

The Winds of Change

Today the Wind blew in a little bit of dust, a true Sign of the Times that Winter is almost over. It have been in the 70's for the last few days. The orange tinted sky and the taste of grit in my mouth were another sign. Soon we won't see the 70's again until "round midnight" and then we can "let is all hang out." I took a couple of pictures but will post them when i have taken some of a clear sky (someone remind me to do that tomorrow) so you can tell the difference.

Another change is coming...to do with my head.

I realized that i haven't combed my hair in like 10 years, so I have set a goal for myself to have enough to comb by the Time I leave here. The tween Times will be the most difficult to handle, for me at least (I know they really won't even touch anyone else, but hey its my blog and I'll rant if I want to) you know when there is just nothing you can do with it, where it looks a bit porcupiney "Pinning for the pork of my Porcupine." But the goals and the small things are what keep us sane, so wish me luck. (More luck than I've had with keeping this page up to date anyway.) And I promise some pictures of the progress. I've been noticing more and more gray lately, mainly on the sides for that Reed Richards look, how very debonair.

So now as we say goodbye to the mud and the rain, as the Wind blows in the heat and the dust, all we can do is try and enjoy the Iraqi Spring. It usually lasts about two weeks so have to get on that the best we can.

Can you say, "Block Party?"

Think I Need It Too

So maybe my last post was a little on the melancholy side. Hard not to get that way once in awhile 'round here. And I meant everything that I said, except if it made it seem like I can get over it that quick. I can't, I don't... get over it not in a minute or hour or, ever...until.
But you do what you can to keep going. This one here well the title says it all to most, others...well you really should get out more. Anyway has become sort of mine and Jennifer's "Song" among the hundreds of others. Hopefully this rendition doesn't sicken anyone's stomach, I working with pretty primitive equipment here (you know, for posting it on a blog from my trailer in Iraq and all) and it's my first at delving into public internet video. Either way it don't matter...
This one is for you baby, hopefully it is a good surprise.
"Whatever you want, whatever you need"
