To Do: Read/See/Buy

I am currently reading Dear John by Nicholas Sparks, (which so so far away from the last few books I have read, here, here and here) but I really love it.

I can't wait to see the movie, but... oh yeah... I am snowed in.

The characters in the end of the book keep reminding me out my favorite peeps over at EmersonMade.

To Do: Read Generation Kill

Read the book. 

Its a fun read. Kinda dark, but that's the content of war I guess.

It gives such a great insight into the war, the people and the troops. I think it is something that we all need to understand.

Best part is the new afterward, last page:

"Five years into this war, I am not always confident most Americans fully appreciate the caliber of the people fighting for them, the sacrifices they have made, and the sacrifices they continue to make. After the Vietnam War ended, the onus of shame largely fell on the veterans. This time around, if shame is to be had when the Iraq conflict ends- and all indications are there will be plenty of it- the veterans are the last people in America to deserve it. When it comes to apportioning shame my vote goes to the American people who sent them to war in a surge of emotion but quickly lost the will to either win it or end it. The tong troops I profiled in Generation Jill, as well as the other men and women in uniform I've encountered in combat zones throughout Iraq and Afghanistan, see among the finest people of their generation. We misuse them at our own peril."

Sorry that may offend some, but I love our country and I love our troops. I work with them a lot and I am always weary of their futures and that we will always be there to support them after they gave so much for us.


Please read the book. I loved it. Look how many pages I dog-earred.

To Do: Tan

I may actually be starting to like not having a job. 

Today I laid out by the water on Hains Point and read a good and got a tan!
