Just another day

Well....life continues here in Lovely Kosovo...lots of drama...but that is that...things here, though interesting, has given me the opportunity to hangout with various countries' armies. Like the British...this guy, though not as animated as the last British Officer i hung out with, was still pretty fun to talk to...the accent made it difficult to understand what he was saying, but we were able to soldier passed it and get the mission done. Hope everyone is doing well...miss you guys. Hasta!

Manny Ramirez

Well...another steroid/substance abuse/taking something your not suppose to scandal has hit the MLB. Manny Ramirez...WTF...I'm not sure i actually care...It will be interesting to see how the Dodgers respond...without Andrew Jones or Kent anymore...the dodgers are back to where they were last year without a guy who can slug doubles and homeruns consistantly...i know i know, Lowney is fairly consistant with Blake stepping up...but, honestly...now that Manny is out of the line up, i'll get to watch ESPN without 3-5 minutes of life being wasted with replays of manny rounding firstbase and knocking off his helmet so his dreads can get some air...i wonder what ESPN will show in the place of those 3-5 minutes...who knows...time will tell...

This is suspenstion comes at a perfect time for the Diamondbacks and the Giants...they have the next 50 games to erase that 8.5 game back stat and really put some distance between themselves and the streaky dodgers...if the Dodgers without the homerun/clutch double hitting Manny, i forsee the dodgers having some serious issues being able to put games away in the coming month...i mean they face the Giants, Angels, Phillies, Mets and Marlins...all teams that put up some serious runs with one to two starting pitchers that could "goose egg" the dodgers to inlcude Santana, Lincecum, and any Phillies pitcher...without a big bat in the line-up, they are in serious trouble of getting swept this month and sliding to third or even fourth in the division just at the close of May...not that i would be upset, not a dodger fan.

Eye Candy

I realize i have been remiss...i have said plenty of times how beautiful the women are here and have yet to post a picture...above is one of the thousands of attractive women that grace the land between Serbia and Albania known as Kosovo...hope you enjoy the eye candy...i know i am...hasta

Swine Flu (cont...)

i have received several comments in response to what i said about the swine flu (see posting below)...let me now respond to those comments...i had someone say "that's good advice the news is giving out....some people don't know what they need to do!" For those out there that lack to mental capacity it takes to down a few extra glasses of water or shove an orange in their mouth...for those who "don't know" they should wash their hands or cover their mouth when coughing...BE AFRAID...the swine flu is Darwin's way of cleansing the gene pool...
is it sad that people have died, yes...but if your reading this...then you most likely poses the necessary means (money) to purchase A. soap and B. an Orange...so you should not worry 'bout the swine flu...

Swine Flu

hello hello again...how is everyone doing? Things here are interesting to say the least...lots and lots o' Army Drama...those brave souls who have served will understand...its the kind of drama best described to civilians as Army Politics...but, anyways...I'm alive, being fed and being paid...hard to complain...i would have to say by far one of the more annoying things here is the time difference between Kosovo and California...9 hours...so i either have to stay up really late or wake up wicked early to catch a family member or friend online...dont get me wrong, its worth it to talk to friends or family...sleep is so over-rated, but when you take the chance and stay up late, and you end up striking out...then its a bit annoying...but, i digress...to the topic at hand...Swine Flu:

Not sure what the major fuss is all about...its the flu...drink water, wash your hands...eat an orange...i got it...yea yea it affects "the strong" rather than the weak, young and old..i got it...do schools shut down when ten kids call in sick from normal flu? Give 'em a Z-pack, toss a Sunny Delight in the brown bag, pat 'em on the ass and continue on living your lives...thats just my opinion...throwing it out there...

Anyways...hope all is well...take care...catch ya on the flip side of the pandemic :) hasta

When it Rains, it pours...

Well, HELL...the economy, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq...Pakistan is doing its thing against the terrorists in the north...two more Brigades are suppose to go to Afghanistan...No more Pontiacs...and now there's a part Pig, part Bird and part Human virus running its ass around Mexico spreading all over the world...nice...guess we can add that to the insane drug wars that are going on along the border...and now we have Secratary Sebelius getting on national news stations and telling us to "wash your hands, and cover your mouth when you cough"...thanks lady...you want to explain to me the process step by step involved in wiping my own ass?!?!? Jeez...

anyways...life here in Kosovo is good. The weather is getting nicer and nicer...the country is turning greener by the day and crops are being planted, things are suppose to get absolutely gorgious here in a few weeks as the crops begin to sprout...

Some economic advice... Beazer Homes USA inc. (BZH) Standard Pacific (SPF) and Hovian Enter. (HOV) all "ousing stocks" that have gone from under a dollar a share to $3 plus a share in the last two weeks...might wanna look into dumping some cash into these...by no means am i an expert, but im making money, maybe you guys could make a few bucks yourself.

Hope everyone is doing well...love you guys, miss you guys...look forward to hearing from you guys...hasta!
