Soldier's Tour in Korea 

Sherry's New Hair Cut

Sherry got a new hair cut. These are some of the pictures that she sent to me. Sorry for them being so dark, but she took them with a web cam and it's not the greatest thing for taking pictures with. She had her dyed a brown color and got it cut so that she now has some bangs. She really likes it a lot. I can't wait to go home for vacation now, so that I can see it. I promise to post more pictures of her as soon as I get some from my vacation.

I had fun today. I caught a bus to Osan last night with Boyd and we stayed at a hotel on an Air Force Base in Osan. We went out last night and had dinner and then palyed some dart and pool at a bar called the Whiskey A Go-Go. I took Sherry there once when she was here in Korea visiting.

This is a note that i wrote in the Bar. They let you write on the walls here. I had to put a little note to my wife on it. Maybe some day we can come back 50 years from now and it will still be there.

The bar has a few walls with various bands album covers carved into the wooden walls.

This is my favorite. It's a Gun's N Roses carving


After going to the bar, we headed back to the hotel for some uch needed sleep. The next day, Scott met us at Osan and we just hung out in the area and did some shopping.


This is one of the things I bought. It's a nice looking guitar. I've always loved Ovation guitars and I really liked this one. It's not an ovation, but it has the round back and leaf design on the front. There is no difference between the two and this one sounds great too. It's acoustic/ electric as well. not bad for only $150.


This is my other toy that I got today. It's an M4 carbine, like the US Army uses, but it shoots rubber BB's. They won't draw blood, but they sting enough that you dont want to get shot by them. We all bought a gun and are going to have some war games back at our apartments.


Well, the pizza huy just dropped off my dinner. Tonight is my cheat night. One night a week, I have junk food. The rest of the week I eat really healthy and go to the gym, so one night a week I treat myself to some junk food and take the night off to relax and watch movies. Tonight I'm having Pizza and wings and watching Man on Fire and The Ring 2.

2 New Themes Added!

OK, I've done a lot of work on this blog today. Now there are two new Themes: MY FAMILY and MY FRIENDS. Check them out by clicking on the links at the top of the page. There are two pages of articles in the MY FAMILY section too, so be sure to look at both of them. Enjoy!

Si Hyun

Kim is a great guy. He is a Korean soldier that works as a translator for the US Army. He works in the computer shop. I often tell him that he should get into stand-up comedy because he is so funny.

Lawrence

Yeah, as you can see Boyd is the really relaxed one. Actually he really is. He's the one who keeps us all out of trouble. His pride and joy is his new computer that he built himself.

My Mom

.

This is my mom. She lives in a small town of about 8,000 people in Southern California, where she raised my brother, sister, and myself. I couldn't have asked for a greater mom.

My Dad

This is my Pops. He was my mentor growing up. I learned a lot from him. He was born in Iowa, but lives in Southern California with his wife Nancy.

My Brother

This is my little brother, John. He's 3 years younger than me. He is married to his wife Shari and they have three children; Seth, Kaleb, and Gabriel. They also live in Southern California.

My Sister

This is my little sis, Alicia. She is now out of high school and is working before she heads off to college. She lives with my mother in California.

My Grandpa

Here is the greatest grandpa in the world. I truly couldn't have asked for greater grandparents. My grandpa Garry is now retired and spends most of his days now riding horses and watching TV with his eyes closed.
