Well for my birthday this year, and yes I was going to finally celebrate it, the Marine Corps decided to give me a six-month all expenses paid vacation. I thought, "sweet!", I could use a vacation after all the hard work I do normally....wait, that's not true. I don't work hard.
Anyways for my birthday they are sending me on this really cool vacation. Too bad I couldn't bring the wifey, but I sure she doesn't mind. So my flight to my "mystery destination" leaves this evening...and I am sure it will be some really cool, exotic destination.
Ok, while most of that was total crap the main point being I fly out tonight (my tonight, not yours) to Kandahar. I made sure to spell that out so people like my dad would know how to spell it. Even though I think it spells like it sounds, I realize I might be in the minority. It could also be spelled Quandahar in case you try to look it up at weather.com.
Anyways, not sure if I will be able to blog and stuff while I am there, but here is to hoping.
Today's WTF moment: did you know copy right laws prohibit streaming media from playing outside the USA? That's right, so I am unable to watch The Unit or The Office because they won't stream the episodes outside the USA. Lame. Also, Pandora.com (is like a personalized radio station) won't broadcast to me since I am outside the USA. I think there should be a deployed service member override code. That way I could still see The Unit and The Office. The best shows on TV.
Ok, so that wasn't that big a deal....so I can't watch tv on my computer in Kuwait. Get over it dude.
