20 Miles to Dusk

I rode in my first bike race on Saturday. After some Gruelling miles of uphill battles and staying with some pretty fast guys, I finished 12/347. I think that's pretty good, considering that I was riding a mountain bike, and everyone that finished with me except for me and two other guys were riding expensive road bikes.

I was really beat for about 5 minutes, felt kinda weird, and exhausted all at the same time. But exhilarated as well. I've gotta do this again, but get a road bike...

A War Won


A Letter Home...

Dear Mother,

I trust that my last letter found you well, cause now I have great news for you. We're coming home!!!

We have arrived at last and well at the next town. Our transport ships were without fuel for several days and we send a lot of the guys off to find fuel in the area. Luckily we found enough to fuel our transports and make our way across enemy lines and we are on our way back home.

It saddens me to say I saw a few of my brothers fall at the hands of former battlebuddies and brothers alike.
...But still we won the day

I helped scout out and stop the evil ODD forces from transferring some vital fuel cells back to the base, but after several rocket attacks on the transport they were in, I guess it had strong armor, cause on it went.
...But still we won the day.

Several atemps were successful by the ODD forces of capturing some of our medic stations and even our base
...But still, we won the day

My Squad Leader regarded a few of us well with a special gift from there US Marine Force. It was a pleasure fighting along side these men of ECHO Company, and ill do whatever it takes if I need to be reactivated and go back to defend what we know is right.

I'm concerned for my little brother Timmy. Hopefully he wont have to deal with this horrible war when he become old enough. Hopefully he wont have to gun down his friends and maybe even brothers... I feel sad that this might happen anyway. Cause even though we were victorious about leaving alive, and finding some key intel and objectives, I feel that they will be back.

...And we will be ready!

Damn jets


Hey, ever wonder what its like to be hit by an A4 jet? well don't. It happened to me this evening. We were moving some jets around and someone called me and I turned around to see what was up and SMACK, ran my left cheekbone into the right flap of an A4.

its freaking started swelling up instantly. Good thing it didn't cut my face...NOT GOOD TIMES

either way nothing a good cold can of Pepsi couldn't handle. Hopefully I wont have a black eye for tomorrow!

Off to War?


well here goes. I'm off to fight in the great civil war of San Diego County. Hopefully our enemies of the O.D.D. regime will be obliterated back to wherever they came from...
..It pains me to fight against soo many of my brothers, comrades and friends alike. But I know our cause is just and we will prevail the day.i'm sure ill come out unscathed or so my witch doctor tells me. I'll be sure to save some mementoes for you all, and here's to coming home safe!
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it is fate that today is the sixth of August and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist! And should we win the day, the 6th of August will no longer be known as an San Diego holiday, but as the day when the county declared in one voice, We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
"Come on you apes, you wanna live forever...."

Put That Kid in Space


So I got a job at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, as the Events / Banquet Manager. I love this job! no day is the same, and I get to pretty much do a lot of stuff. Most of the museum staff is new so we're all trying to make the museum the best it can be.
Ther is a lot of stuff going on right now in my life, as you could prolly tell by my last entry. Well here's what's up now to all those faithful readers.
I'm moving, again. But don't' worry, I'm still local in SD. Moving to a house overlooking a canyon in Claremont.
I broke up with my girlfriend Kathy after about a year and a half, but since she's still kinda like my best friend, we're still close. I hope she can find the kinda man she's looking for, and hope she's happy with whatever she does. My buddy Chris Graduated the Police Academy a few weeks ago, as is beening sought after by a few departments.
One of my best friends Colt is getting MARRIED!!!! Holy crap! At least he found a good girl who understand all his geeky traits, and has some of her own. Erica will be taking pix of his wedding in NOV.
They should be awesome pics...but no pressure!
As for music, not sure what's happening right now, but I'll keep you all updated.
