my beautiful girlfriend

this blog is dedicated to the woman and her son that i love very well, i know i haven't been the best boyfriend in the world but honestly it is because of what i told you about last night, and that is that i just cant let people see the weakness in me while I'm here bc once they do then they will run all over you.

now to the real blog. ever since i met this woman she has made me the happiest man in the world. she and i met when i thought that i would never find someone again that i could love with all my heart, well now there are 2 of them her and her son, trey is a typical 2 year old about to turn 3 so of course he talks more then ever and just runs around and gets into trouble. well i think i know what im going to get him while im home on leave for his birthday. and i also know have plans for tanjas birthday she knows we are going to Italy just not the exact spot that we are going, and to you tanja i just wanted to let you know it will be fun,romantic and all that we need to be able to just show each other our love. i cant wait to see you in just a few more weeks. you and trey have made me a better even if you don't think so trust me you have, and for that i am very thank full

memorial day

ok i know this is a few days late but here are the pics of memorial day and what went on. to all that look at this and served or are serving i just want to say thankyou from myself as well. now onto the pics here that show pics of people up close those are 2 of many of my friends that i have lost during this war but these are the newest to that list of 4500+ persons. elias elias i was honored to have served with while i was on active duty still at 12th chem he was one of few in the military that truly fought for a reason, im not saying we all dont have a reason i mean because for him since he was born and raised in lebonan he wanted to see democracy in the middle east. and then staff sgt. alejandro ayala as my family knows was the airforce person with me here that was killed because the TCN(third country nationals) and the kuwaities themselves dont care about how the cars and trucks and semis are, while driving back from another post picking up stuff for their airmen here that also served with us they ran into the back of a semi that didnt have his warning lights on or any lights for that matter and hit the trailor at 80km/h. he was a great man and truly loved the airforce and the airmen he had under him. both spc.elias elias and now Tech SGT. Alejandro Ayala you will be missed and im glad i got to meet both of you.

if you look at the other pics all the white boards you see have pics of soldiers,sailors,marines,and airmen that have been killed during this war. also if you look at the 'sea of flags' each flag represents one of the persons killed during the war so for that reason there are 4500+ flags aswell

OPERATION MYSPACE

if you look at the pics of the guy in uniform that is playing on stage, he was a member of filter who after 9/11 joined the army and decided to serve his country other then just thru music. and it just happend that he was there when this concert was going on and they suprised the band with him coming out to play with them, it was very cool.

ok this is going to mainly be photos and i have more on my computer so you will be seeing more of this blog when i get the chance. now then this operation was the biggest USO tour yet during this war. it had carlos mencia, filter,disturbed,the pussycat dolls, DJ Z-trip, oh TOM from myspace(you know the friend that will never go away LOL) and jessica simpson but to me she will not have a photo on here bc she really wasnt all there for us she was still all about herself. now Tanja please dont get mad when i put these pics of the pussy cat dolls up it is a general thing of pics(LOL im just joking dont get mad about that too:D)

now im not sure how this is going to show up but never the less look at the crowd and how happy to soldiers,sailors,marines,airmen, and even the brits are while this is going on and if you look closley at some of the pics of the crowd you will se me standing on the bumper of a hummer.

ok well now after the first day of fun.....

Well where do i begin? my mom took my chance of driving the car away when i get bac, that sucks! So now i hope i can get it back with this one. i am sorry mom i was just trying to have a lil fun you know how it was to be 23!(im not even going to touch that one it is way to easy for me!!) so now then, to the real blog.

Today is memorial day, and for a lot of us soldiers over here we know way too many people that have been killed during this war. Myself, I'm going to a reading of all 4500 names and about 30 or so of those names i will know or atleast met in a unit before i left or vis verse. for all the people that read this blog today and see a soldier,airmen,salior, or marine, please do me this one thing and that is just go up and say "thank you" those 2 words mean the world to them even if they have a stupid look on their face, during a time like this and a war like this, we begin to question if it really makes sense what we are doing if this war is really worth,well as of lastweek 4500, all these deaths. now i cant truly get into how i really feel because im still on active status but soon ill be a civilian again and trust me a blog will be coming soon in the near future about this article it is a follow up.

now to the fun part pics. now im going to start off by saying the people that are in the next few pics mean a lot to me bc they are taking time out of their famous life to come and play for us.

ok this is paul wall, the redskin cheerleaders, and twista if you look at the to men look at the crowd they are happy as hell to see them, just that touch of home. the next blog will be about operation myspace and there are a lot more photos.

crazy life here at buehring

OK before i begin this blog i just have to say when i saw this thing come out it scared the living S**T out of me! number one because of its size and number 2 because the thing is living on our post now.

here is the first pic. as you can see already the lizard is big and trust me i do mean BIG for this lizard(not sure what kind it is but i have seen smaller ones before) to be this size it has to be old as dirt, on a funny side kinda like you mom:D i love you, now if you look closly to its tail it has sharp points on it, well some idiots here on the camp and one of which is in my unit were playing with it at first trying to get his tail to move, i called them all morons and told them to leave it alone. i thought they did until i hear it hissing and it was worse then our cat is, i turn around to see the idiot from my unit reaching down with only a lighter in his hand to get him/her to flick its tail. i just looked on in amazement of how stupid he was bc im not trying to get hit by something with spikes that when you already say when he/she swings their tail it lifts the back legs off the ground bc of how much force it swings with.

now then here is the second pic. this one give you a lil more to the size of this thing.

ok if you save this pic to your desktop and then zoom in on it that shiny thing next to it is a lock that is about the size of my palm. and it is a lil bit bigger then this things arm,JUST THE ARM!! now i had to go use the restroom at this point and when i came back he was still there so i had to have fun with people. there was a civilian contractor that lives in the building it is under right now. he came out and i told him "careful there is a big ass lizard under your house", he laughed and said "yeah right" i just waited and smiled he came around the corner and saw it, i thought the guy was going to die of a heart attack bc he jumped about 4ft in the air, i laughed and said " you believe me now"

just another day at buehring thank god it will be over soon. i have seen a lot of things from camels, goat,sheep,kangaroo mice,snakes lizards(just not this big),falcons,hawks, and even pigeons while i have been out here, every now and then when im at the beach i have seen a few fish and something larger i couldnt tell what they were but i saw the dark shadows under the water that was enough for me.

well im going to go again i will try to keep up on this one sense G-nerve didnt really go that well LOL. talk to you all again soon

ill give you a guess as to what i am doing

this is for the family that knows where i am and knows what I'm doing lol, sounds impressive huh like I'm doing a lot of fighting little do they know it is the complete opposite LOL oops i guess they know now.

this is one of the things i get to do time to time with the job i have while I'm over here in the sand box but thank god its about over soon. still cant say except for the hints that i have given you mom and dad, i love you guys and hope you get to see these pics. ok the one that is just a big ball of flames that is a lil different i know but if you look at the other flame you should be able to understand exactly what it is. well i dont know much us so as mom says "i guess i should get back to work:D" i always laugh when i hear that, ppl that know us understand that lol
