Corn on a Stick!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT????!!!!! I got a haircut today. I wish that I didn't have too. Long hair is totally in. I don't know why I started this off talking about my hair...OH YEAH! So after the haircut a bunch of the guys were there because next to the barber shop is some fast food places. Cinnabon, Burger King, Pizza Hut and KFC. Its not the same as home, but its still good once in a while. That reminds me of another story. We had just got off a convoy and I was STARVING!!! The chow hall closed in like 30 min. SO we were waiting for the bus. Me, Poller, Jennings, James and some other people, I dont remember who. So I am sitting there at the bus stop, hoping the bus will come so i can drop off my bag (you can't take bags into the chow hall). i have given up on capitalization and such. just bear with me. ok. So i am sitting on the bench and my blood sugar is low. I am getting cranky. I wanted to walk because the specific bus stop that we were at, the bus takes FOREVER, especially at night, to get there. if i walked I could have gotten back to the room in 15 min and back to the chow hall in 7. That was just enough time before it closed. Well they convinced me to stay. Well it took like 30 min for the bus to get there. There are 4 other color buses that run different routes. They all came except for the one that i needed. Well when i was about to explode of hunger and frustration a staff sergeant got off the bus with a pizza box and a cinnabon box in his hand. I stared at him i guess. he goes, "you eyeballin my piece fitty cent?" Ok not really. he asked if anyone was hungry. Before the words completely left his mouth my hand was in the air and i said me staff sergeant I need food so bad. He gives me it ALL. It was half a pizza a whole cinnabun and chicken wings, boneless. WOOOOW! How awesome is that. It was still hot. his friend was supposed to come, but his flight got delayed or something so it was extra. he was a food angel.

ANYWAY, So the haircut. Well after the haircut. i went to cinnabon with jennings and got a carmel chillatta. AMAZINGK! Then James handed me corn on a stick from KFC. CORN ON A STICK!!!! I never knew that existed. now my whole world has changed. I live day to day wondering when i will get my next corn fix. Ok thats not true. It was good though. A nice treat. Thought I would share that. Guess I am headin back to the capital thing.

Oh yeah so its the Marine Corps birthday today. OORAH! haha. Its weird typing that. i dont know why.

"On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress. Since that date many thousands of men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the Birthday of our Corps by calling to ming the glories of its long and illustrious history.

The record of our Corps is one which bear comparison with that of the most famous military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence the Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war and in the long era of tranquility at home generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres, and in every corner of the seven seas so that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.

In every battle and skirmish since the Birth of the Corps, Marines have acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.

This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received from those who have preceded us in the Corps. With it we also receive from them the eternal spirit which has animated our Corps for generations and has long been the distinguishing mark of Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish Marines will be found equal to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our nation will regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as "Soldiers of the Sea" since the founding of the Corps." -John A. LeJeune, 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps

Lets see what else can i talk about. Well let me think. I am doing homework and that sucks! There isnt really a lot of time for me to work on it all and it might bite me in the end.
