I cant wait to get back to the states where there's pavement as far as the eye can see and my skating isn't limited to a small rectangle. I brought a skate mag to my tower the other day (lets just keep that between you and me). I was pointing to the pictures and tring to explain the awsomeness of skatboarding to the iraqi i share the tower with, but my efforts were in vain. He just said "no good"

I recently started tower duty and staring at cows for 12 hours isn't as exciting as you would think, but that's all there is to look at from my tower. I can't even take an mp3 player up there and the Iraqi guard i share the tower with is ridiculously annoying. Two months of it left,

Yea, i definitely tore it up on the basketball court today. There is a short rail that someone made, the feet are kinda close together so as you get to the end of the rail it tips a little, but doesn't really fuck you up. Then i went and got a hair cut which i probably should have gotten about a week or two ago(Army frowns on long hair). There was a new barber there and he stunk worse than they usually do, so it figures that he was the one that cut my hair.
