well i finally got a day off! WOOOHOOO!! lol. it is now the time of year in Iraq where it starts to rain. its awesome. unless your in the turret on one of the trucks, then u get soaked. lol... time is still going pretty fast here and i hope it doesnt slow down. it seems like every week here i make a new iraqi friend. one of them is mustafa. a couple of marines and i were outside (when it wasnt raining) and we were playing football infront of the station. maybe a good 60-70 yards long. one of the guys through the football to me and it went over my head. so i ran to get it, when i got it i just threw it up in the air not really aiming it anywhere. then i just heard every one laughing. i didnt know what for so i ran over so i can see why and apparently i hit mustafa right on the top of the head lol.. after that we were friends lol wierd huh. another guy is edward. i call huim edward cause i cant say his name lol... he is IA (iraqi army) he is a real cool dude. doesnt speak that much english but we make do with my lil arabic. we were hanging out side and he pulled out his cell phone and started to play some music. i couldnt undersstand any of it but it was cool. he went through a couple of songs then he stopped on a song that made me laugh. "tell me what you want" by the Spice Girls lol he knows the whole song word for word lol... its funny hearing an Iraqi sing Spice girls. he finished that song and then he started to play green day "when september ends" that made me home sick. for the first time =( but then i realized that we only have like 2 months left YUT!! lol so yeah... nothing else has been going on other than that. so i will go now and take care of all the things i need to do. keep in touch!
