Besame Mucho!!!

I am sitting in the computer lab waiting for the chopper that is gonna take me to the new base. I wish this wasn't a country full of people that wanted to kill us. If that were the case, I could just drive to the new base. Why couldn't we have liberated a nicer country? We should have liberated Cuba. They all hate Castro and are Catholic too. They would be much more grateful liberatees than these guys.

I kid you not, at work the other day, a cell phone went off. Seriously. I never thought I would have to post a sign that says to turn your cell phones off at work. I am in Iraq, yet sometimes it feels just like home.

I work with a lot of Spanish speakers. No big deal to me. However, my only other English speaking coworker asked one of them why they couldn't just speak English at work. He was asked what it would be like if he had to go somewhere and didn't speak the language. And if it would be better if he could speak his native tongue.
He replied that that was exactly how work was everyday for him since he is one of two people who doesn't speak Spanish.
They both just stood there in silence after words; not sure what language though.

Youtube is one of the greatest websites I have ever seen.
Wait, strike that.
It is one of the greatest things I have seen.

The Kings drafted a shooting guard for the third year in a row. I am not sure how I feel about that.

I know this is heresy in some circles, but part of me is really hoping that the Giants trade Barry Bonds to the American League before he leaves at the end of the year in free agency. He won't break the record as a Giant, so his box office draw is minimal. And since he is rarely in the lineup these days, his impact on the games is minimal too. I say trade him now before you get nothing at the end of the year.

I finally got a tour of Saddam's death house; where the executions were. I also toured the hard site; this is where he kept his political prisoners and where our little thing happened. I was really hoping to see pictures of Lindy England on the wall. You know, like a museum exhibit. Shoot, they could have even had cardboard cutouts of the detainees so that we could recreate the magic of those pictures.
I actually took a lot of interesting pictures which I plan to post on the blog once I can figure out how.

For some reason I am in the mood to watch the movie Kingpin. That is such a hillarious flick.
