What you Give is What you Get???

Is this TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY TRUE?? I think so, well not completely. As I sit here and listen to "Superstar," by Lauryn Hill, I ponder on this thought. In the majority that I do, I try to give it my all. From the littlest accomplishment to the biggest. I try to make something better than the way that I found it. While sitting here in the middle of the Desert, Tikrit, Iraq, I ponder on ways to make this better than I found it. Hell simply being here is making it better. But htis is kinda a double edged sword. I am helping to make this country better, but I am struggling on the inside. I miss my family and friends so dearly. I try not to talk to them as much cause it hurts a little, but not talking to them hurts as well. WWJD? HE would pray and ask for guidance and patience. And this is what I do. Heck, it is all that I can do. I cant wait until my two weeks R&R comes around, which coincidently I will take for my birthday. I am going to bask in the presence of those that I love and those that love me dearly. To help pass the time and I have decided to keep a video blog of my adventures in Iraq and keep it on a weekly basis. As I type this blog, I coming to the close of the third week that I have been deployed outside of the U.S. I have pretty much adjusted to the temperature change. Although it is always upwards of 110 degrees here, it is not that bad. And the reason as to why is simple. It is a dry heat, no humidity to worry about. The killer is the DAMN sand encrusted blow dryer in your face. Well thats my update for now. Until next time, be Easy and Stay Breezy. I am outta here....
