Happy Thanksgiving

I was sitting in my room this morning, just after waking up, and I think, "I'm glad I don't have to work today." I didn't even realize that it was Thanksgiving, even though I thought about how much I wish I could be at home for it the night before. It took about an hour to realize what day it was. The days just blend together here, and I'm not complaining because it makes the time go by.



So... this is what I am thankful for:

First and foremost, my family - You have always supported me, even when times were rough. I think about you all of the time. You have taught me to be who I am.

My country - there really isn't anything else to say about it.

I'm thankful to my Platoon for always watching each other's six.

Eddie and the whole 7th grade class at Parkway West Middle for all of your support.

My friends - To the ones that have always been there, I couldn't ask for more. Jenn and your family - for being unbelievably supportive in all the years that I have known you. It is far more than anyone could ask for.

I hope that everybody is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wish I could be home. There isn't really all that much time left, and the time is flying by quickly.

Miss you all and hope everything is well.

Phil

In the news....

So yea... There are some interesting news stories out there today...

Toddler Trips, Accidentally Shooting Dad in Forest - Okay people... Let's take out all of the words that don't really mean crap in this headline... "Toddler Shooting Dad in Forest:" which, of course implied that the toddler had a gun... and since they were both in the forrest, looks like Dad let him have it... Serves him right.

Teen Pregnancy Linked to Sexy TV Shows - Let's see. Because you watch sexy tv shows, you are more apt to get pregnant? How about, the parents of the teens didn't have a tight enough grip on their children. Now, I might use this as a reason to lobby the government to cancel Sex and the City, because damn...

Iraq to Sell Saddam Hussein's Luxury Yacht - Maybe they can pay us back???

Paris Hilton: Men Used Me for Sex and Fame - Do I really need to write anything here? I think she forgot "...and MONEY."

Ex-Playboy bunny faces cat cruelty charges - I didn't read the article, but the headline kind of seems ironic

Woman Hit by Stray Bullet at NASCAR Race - Not that this is very funny... But really? Stop shooting weapons in the air you rednecks. "Make NASCAR year round!!!" "Earnhardt was my hero!" "Make the Daytona 500 a national holiday!" That part is the funny part...

That's about it. Everything is going well here, and I will have an update for you in the next couple of days.

I hope all is well with you.
