| Hello hello everybody. Wow, I cant believe it, im almost off the ship. And now time just seems to be creaping along. I hate that. But thats ok because i know that in X number of days i will have to live on this ship no more. You can fill in the "X" with whatever number you feel like, cause i really cant tell you how many i have left. Well, I have some other news that im not sure if I have posted yet, but im going to say it anyways. I found out a while ago that come September 8th, I will get to do this all over again. Doesnt that sound fun!!! Aparently we are short on people back at my command and they have to send me out again, so im going to the USS Ramage(DDG-61). Im sooooooo excited....NOT! If I wasnt such an idiot when i first came in the navy, I would be getting out this August instead of next August. But the Navy did release another early out message for this year, and I do qualify for it, so im going to see if i can get out this year. But im sure they will probably deny it because of "operational commitment". Anyways, im both ways about it cause I would love to get out and be able to go home and be with Cecilia, but I would also love to be able to finish paying off all my stupidity as well. So I guess im going to leave all this in God's hands and see what he has planned for me. But anyways, im getting kinda bored of writing this, cause I really have nothing to say. You would think that being out here for six months, i could come up with something, but i cant.....cause they wont let me tell any stories till i get back :( Anywho, so i guess i will leave you with that for now. Maybe next time i write, i will be home and in a better mood.

| Ok, I know, its been a little while since I last posted. Im sorry. Things have been very crazy out here the past two weeks or so. It's like the ship know's were about to get off and it's sad or something. Cause everything seems to be breaking. I dont know how many hours I have spend working on the systems that we have in here. Just the other day, I was up for 40 something hours because one of my computer hard drives crashed. Now, things would have been much easier if there had been a back up drive made and put away, but that didnt happen. I dont want to go more into that because it will just make me upset again. It just seems like its been one thing after another out here. But oh well, almost done. I can almost see Norfolk again. Well, not really.....but trust me, its pretty close. And I know that this is short, but I have to go eat chow before the line closes and I just wanted to come on here and let everyone know that im still alive and well. I will come back asap and post some more. TATA for now.

| Hello Hello, whats going on? Ok, I know I said I would write back on Saturday, but I wasn't able to get on the computer so that plan didnt work out so well. But im back now so I thought I would let you all know whats going on. We just left our port in Bahrain today. We were there for a week and that was more then enough for me. There really wasn't anything to do and it was sooooo expensive. I went to the ATM and took our 30 Dirka dollars (dont remember what they really are), and it came out to like 80 bucks. Whats that all about? But it was cold so i had to go out in town and buy a sweatshirt to stay warm. But they did have some good food. I think I ate at A&W burger every day. Even when i was on watch and couldnt leave the ship, I had someone bring me back a double bacon cheeseburger. UMMMMM!!!! And I dont think I have ever spend so much money playing video games in an arcade. Cause that was really all there was to do. But I got really good at shooting video game people. But oh well...that trip is over and now i am one month shy of getting off this boat and saying goodbye. Still dont know whats going on with Germany and if we are going or not, but its getting to the point where i dont really care....I just want to come home. Anywho....theres really not much going on, just getting everything back in order and trying to get situated in the sea going life again. I hope you all have a good weekend coming up and try to stay out of trouble. Enjoy!!!

| Hello everyone. You might notice a few changes to my page today, thats because I had nothing to do today. We were supposed to pull into port today, but that plan didnt work out to well. We got close enough to see land, and then we had to sit out here and float around till we were cleared to come into port. I guess they had a lot of traffic or something. So anywho, we have been anchored out here for the past couple hours and there is nothing to do but clean. And believe me, i've cleaned today. So I thought I would come up here and mix things up a little bit. So things have been a little better for the past couple days. Something else out here broke, but after two days of working on it, its finally back up. But here's the good news, I didnt let it stress me out. I didn't get in a bad mood over it and I was fairly civil to the people I had to work with. I decided that I shouldn't let this kind of stuff bother me. Hey Hey, were moving.....looks like were pulling in now. Well, I found out that my trip to Germany isn't looking so good now. I dont know what happened, but I might not get to go now. I really hope I can though. I was pretty exited about that. But go or not go, I'm still getting off this ship in about 5 weeks, and I cant wait. Im ready to come home and eat a bunch of fast food and drive around in my car. Well, enough jibber jabber about me....
Cecilia turned 22 this week and her friends took her to a casino for the night. Im sure she will just spend twenty dollars or so on the penny machines, cause she isn't much into winning as she is watching the colorfull lights spin around on the screen. She's so funny. But I hope she comes home with at least a couple grand. That way she can buy me something real nice....but probably not. Well, this is it for me. I have to run, so I hope you all have a good weekend and ill be back on Saturday cause thats when I have duty. tah tah.

| Ok, so I have had some interesting responses from a couple people about my last few post's. I have no excuse but to just blame it on the ship. Yes, im having a bad time out here and im just ready to come home. But I know that I shouldn't let that get to me all the time. So im going to try and be a little bit nicer out here. For anyone of you who really know me, then you know that I stress out very easy and that puts me in a bad mood. Well, I guess thats whats been going on the past couple of days. And now that I think about it, everything is working again, so why was I getting so upset about it? I have no idea. Oh well, its all overwith right? Good, now I can move on.
Nothing new really going on out here. Just counting down the days when I pull into port. I have to try and not spend to much money this time. Almost got the credit card paid off and I dont want to blow it now right? Wow, the more I sit here and try to think of what to write, the more I realize that I have nothing to write about. So instead of just going on and on and on and on and on and on.........like that.......ill just leave you all with the hopes that you have a good day and a good weekend. Hey, tonights Saturday night, I think I'm going to go out with some buddies and get some dinner and see a movie.....yeah...right!!! Anywho, HAGO!!!!! Oh yeah, Jason, thanks for the kind words buddy, it really helped.
