Well, we’ve been here for a few days, and it looks like we’ll be here for a few more. It’s not bad though, the food is decent and there’s a few things to do: Movies (three small theaters), video games, sports, work out, read, etc. I’ll let y’all know when we get where we’re going…

It’s been over a year (1 Jan 2008) since I last posted, so here’s the latest, greatest one. I have been terribly remiss in updating both the news and the software of this website, but I’ve fixed both of those problems now. I’ve upgraded the site software to WordPress 2.7.1, and soon (within a day or so) I’ll update the forum software as well. I deleted around 1300 BS “users” from the subscriber-list for this blog, and I’m sure there’s a number of BS users on the forums as well. If you discover that I’ve deleted your legitimate profile from either user list, feel free to create a new one! Unless you’re a spammer, in which case you may feel free to spontaneously shit yourself, then burn eternally in Hell. Thanks!

Family, Friends, Texans: Lend me your ears!
I’ve rung in the new year, if not in style, then at least in a different way. I participated in a New Years Bash at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait! Woo-Hoo! Oh, wait, that isn’t cause for celebration. Let’s see: no alcohol, no intimate contact with the ladies, to include kissing (well, ahem, you’re not supposed to), no fireworks–but we did have hundreds of balloons that were ceremoniously popped!–and no civilian clothes. That’s right, I spent New Years in my PT uniform! It was kinda nice for when I played Twister with those two Air Force gals, however. But I digress… Suffice to say, I’ve had better New Years celebrations. Here’s to the night-time festivities of day 366, 2008!*
I’m about to buy my plane ticket for Sunday, 19 JAN 2008, so I should be home then-ish. I plan to take at least 2 weeks, if not the full 30 days I’m allotted. I’ll see how well y’all pamper, dote upon, and spoil me, and then decide how long to stay. (I’m making a mental list of all the different foods I want as I type this… Wink!)
Bear (bare? Bayer?) this in mind: my chain of command has ever-so-thoughtlessly NOT told us subserviant peons (I like to think of it as peed-upons, but that’s just me) of the wash-rack detail when our official block of leave is. What? That’s ridiculous you say? Of course it is. Otherwise they’d be doing something well administratively, which is, shall we say, a stretch for these fellas? Anyhoo, that means that that’s my best guess / more-or-less taking it when I feel like it. So we’ll see how well I hit the mark. Cross your digits!
It’s about time to wrap this little near-diatribe up, don’t you think? I love you all, and I’ll see you when I see you! Via con dios, mis familia y amigos! Oh, and… <insert witty comment on some ridiculously hilarious thing here>!!!
*(Ooh, you forgot it was a leap-year, didn’t you?)

Yep, it’s true! Unfortunately there are only 3 phones and 3 computers serving (currently) around 150 people. Yeah, it might be difficult to get on ‘em as soon as everyone else finds out about ‘em… Other than that, not much to say here. If you’re interested in keeping up w/ what’s going on w/ me, sign up to the forum, ‘cuz I post more regularly there than I do here on the front page… Later.

Able Co will be occupying a new OP that we’re building, and I’ll be living out there, eventually. Supposedly we’re gonna have phones and internet set up in a week or two, but don’t be surprised if you don’t hear from me for a while! (I’m pretty sure y’all aren’t surprised by that at all, huh? <wink>)

I’ve been told to be ready to go the weekend of 17 August. Not much else to report, other than that I’ve replaced the forum software with a much better one, with more features and (hopefully) pretty much spam-proof. We shall see, hmm? Anyway, you’ll have to re-register if you were a member of the old forum. Please, if you want to keep in touch with me while I’m in Iraq, this is probably your best bet. Hasta luego…

Sorry folks, but I’ve been busy: busy workin’ for The Man (aka “Uncle Sam”), and not paying enough attention to what was happening to me, Shane Allen (.US 
) As a result of that, I’ve been MEDEVAC’ed out of my battalion’s AO (Area of Operation). However, this isn’t to say that I’m severely injured; I’ve just got a couple of minor foot injuries that couldn’t be properly treated back in Ramadi. Rest assured, I’ll be “back on my feet,” as the saying goes, soon enough… Hasta Luego!

I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a while, but I’ve been busy being deployed. I originally planned to keep this front page updated frequently, but since it’s still a pain in the ass to get on the internet, I will probably forego the homepage for the most part, and instead concentrate on the forums.
 Oh, by the way, I’m in Iraq… Back in the same general area of Ramadi, by the way! Fun times… Check the forum for up-to-date news!
 P.S. That “Bored” icon actually represents “tired” for me… it’s 4am here…

I’m at Camp Buehring, Kuwait for “climatization” before we go to Iraq. I’ve been here for a few days now, and it’s pretty nice here: the chow halls are excellent, with a wide variety of food for every meal, and they even have midnight chow! There are also pay restaurants here, like a Subway, Taco Bell, a couple of Burger Kings, and a few others, but I really don’t even see the need to go to ‘em when I can get great food for free. I’m gonna keep this brief so that I can check the forum, ‘cuz I’m here with a buddy who only needs a few minutes. I’ll catch up w/ y’all when I can, ok?
