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!

Todays Bit-O-knowledge from the House of Paine:

It's nearly one in the morning and sadly i am not tired at all...maybe it was the late night coffee or the three Coca-Colas i slammed while watching the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Anyways...for some reason I've decided to put on a movie, toss in a chew and hope that todays work out would finally catch up with me and i'd fall asleep...alas...nothing could be further than the truth...i am now on my second movie and no where near a state that would allow me to rest...I am watching A Good Year with Russell Crowe...Good movie to say the least...I have this intense erge (after watching the movie) to get a bottle of wine and sit in a chair over looking the Tuscan landscape...drinking and drinking til im blackout drunk....i dream...oh well...hope all is well...love you all, miss you all...hasta !

Here's to you...an Update from the barracks...

Hope everyone is enjoying Spring Break :) Be safe, get drunk.....

A Sober St. Patricks Day

I'm not sure what a sober St. Patricks day is...more of an oximoron than anything...for some reason im having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that i am not shit-faced drunk right now...oh well...im sure sobriety is a good thing...healthier for body and mind if you will...but anyways...heres an update...life is good...just hangin out in lovely Kosovo...same ol' same ol'...just doing my thing...stock market is lookin up, which is of course a great thing...not really a fan of the idea of the US diving into a full blown depression...besides that life is good, lookin forward to another fun filled week, lots of missions, lots of paperwork...hope all is well, love you all, miss you all...talk to you soon.
