  • Less updates....

    Well people, in order to continue to move with the times and the times are saying Facebook rules, and everything else is just alright. So I am going to be using Facebook a lot more since I can do everything from right there and it makes it easier to post things about Jamie and myself. I will still be updating this site...just not as often, as my attention will be more on school so when I get time to do some stuff it will mostly be on Facebook. I also have a flickr account now that I will be posting a lot of my pics on so feel free to drop by there sometime. Umm, other than that, you all have a great weekend and God bless...

    Let the twiddling begin...

    Sooo....

    I am back from leave. Sitting here in my bed in my barracks. I was thinking about going to see a movie with my roommate, but we decided to do that tomorrow. So since I'm not hanging out with Jamie, I figured I would post a little about my life for the last three weeks. I haven't updated since before I went on leave and I know that is probably not the nicest thing to do but I really had so much going on that I couldn't really find the time to just sit down and think of something intelligent to say, and that usually results in me just not posting.

    Leave....

    Well, this consisted mainly of visiting family and friends. I went to Indy and saw some old friends at the Training Center and saw my mom and sister. I then went up to OH and picked Jamie up and saw all her friends up there. Then I came back down to Indy and chilled some more, went over to Cincy and visited my bro and dad. After that I helped Jamie move down to SC where she should be safe if weird dudes don't ask if they can help move too often. Then I drove back down to GA where I now sit writing this half asleep....

    Sooooo many details I know. So yea, during that time....hmmm, somewhere deep in that stuff, I think I got engaged or something. Maybe I was reading that on Jamie's site or something. Might have been her facebook, never know. Yea, I know everyone keeps asking for this story, but frankly people, I don't think there is going to be one. Why? You might be asking as you read this....well, this is why. Because the way I proposed was something that Jamie and I thought was great, but most other people wouldn't gain any sort of pleasure from....so I'm just saying, if a story doesn't make it's way to the surface.....you know why.

    I guess that's really all I have to post....Jamie has most of the pics so if you're looking for those....most definitely swing by her xanga or her facebook. God bless, and good night....

    Insights...

    So yea...I have been going through some things recently and I realized yesterday that I have really been letting the devil(doesn't deserve to be capitalized, at least not in my book) take advantage of me and cause me to be discouraged and faithless. I know that God wants us to have faith and wants us to be wholly devoted to Him and since I know this I have decided that I am going to have faith...however small it is and I will strive to become more and more like Him on a daily basis. I think it's funny how a "small" issue can alter your whole lifestyle. Well, maybe not funny so much, but interesting at least.  Hmmm, well I really don't know what to update about. I have been doing Re-Integration training and am almost done.... I go on leave in four days and I'm stoked about that. Well since I'm really out of stuff to say, I'm going to end this...you all keep it real and keep looking to Him.....

    P.S. Here are the lyrics to the song on my site...which for once, actually match the song I have that I am "listening to" at the top...heh.

    Worn out, wasted
    Like a bird with broken wings
    Sometimes grace reminds me
    I don't get to be the king

    But love it washes over
    Love it pulls me closer
    Love it changes everthing

    Everything is beautiful
    Even when the tears are falling
    I don't need a miracle to believe
    Even in the crashing down
    I can hear redemtion calling
    And everything is beautiful to me

    Sweetly, You release me
    From the weight of what I've done
    The trigger trips the hammer
    But the bullets never come

    And love it washes over
    Love it pulls me closer
    Love it changes everything

    Everything is beautiful
    Even when the tears are falling
    I don't need a miracle to believe
    Even in the crashing down
    I can hear redemption calling
    And everything is beautiful to me

    And love like a landslide
    Like the wind
    Spins around me pulls me in
    At it's unveiling, I begin

    Everything is beautiful
    Even when the tears are falling
    I don't need a miracle to believe
    Even in the crashing down
    I can hear redemption calling
    And everything is beautiful to me (2x)

    Take it easy people....God bless

    The Beautiful....U.S. of A...

    Well people....I'm back. After 15 long, and sometimes hard, sometimes not so hard months in Iraq...my time has come to make myself known in the otherworlds of Internet Gaming, Instant Messaging, College Classes, and the such. Of course, those aren't the real reasons that I am glad to be back. More legitimate reasons that I am happy to be back would be....
        1. Seeing my family. (Thank you Mom and Tara for taking the time to come see me get in)
        2. Going on leave to see the rest of the family and Jamie. (Can't wait for that....)
        3. Getting back into some of the church functions that I was unable to be a part of.
        4. Getting back in touch with good friends.
        5 Not having to worry about getting blown up on a daily basis...

    I have a couple of sets of photos I would like to post on here, but I may have to do them at different times...not because my internet is slow...as it is quite fast (I was downloading at 2.3mb/s yesterday ) but more because I may not have time to do all that I want to in one post. So without further boredom on your part....check the pics....



    Ok, a couple of people have wanted to see some pics of my car, so I will post a couple....here ya go. I'm not going to comment on them because I feel they are pretty self explanatory. Sorry for some of the specs you see on the pics...it's called mist and me being the meany I am did my first shoot with my Canon Rebel XTi in the rain...heh



































    Well, that's really all that I have people. I will keep you updated on the latest and greatest and as far as today goes, I have to go in at 1800 and do training....re-integration training that is. Be good...I'll be back with more goods, the good kind of goods.

    Easter is here....

    What does Easter really represent? Why do we as Christians say "Happy Easter"? I hope it is because we realize the beauty of what this day represents. As we know it, Easter represents the third day after Jesus was crucified and the day that He rose from the grave. It occurred to me today that we sometimes get lost in the "festivity" of the day and don't sit down and acknowledge what we are celebrating. It is not just the fact that Jesus arose from the grave, but also the fact that He was crucified for our sins and that He allowed Himself to be bruised and killed for our iniquities. When I think of that, it makes me remember just how much He cares for us. I watched as some people were walking around talking about the different things they would be doing on Easter if they were home and I realized that we as Christians hold a responsibility to show others why we are who we are. It is not us, but the risen Christ working in us. Anyway, just a few of my thoughts on the matter, I hope everyone had a blessed Easter and that God showed Himself real to you in some way. I know He shows Himself real to me more than I can say. God bless and stay cool people....

About Me

  • I love to work with computers, including but not limited to Hardware/Software installation and troubleshooting, Networking, Programming using Java2, and Web and Network Security. My favorite though, would be my Forensic and Ethical Hacking, all legal of course. I joined the Army in Nov. '05 and completed 19D Cav Scout OSUT the end of March '06. I was then assigned to 5/7 Cav in Ft. Stewart, GA and am currently deployed in Fallujah, Iraq with Bandit Troop.
