Texas Hold em

Well last night we held a Texas Hold em tournement with almost 30 marines. It was a $20 buy in and the winner got 55% of the total. I was lucky to make it to the championship table playing against 10 other marines and soldiers. I ended up placing 6th over all not bad but I was wishing to at least get third so I could have gotten a little bit of money. At the first table I got nick named the Cardiac Kid becaus I was down to $5 dollars and ended up leaving the table with the biggest stack to head up to the chanpionship table. The best part was that the CO was the first one out of our table. I think the delaer was helping out the 1st SGT cause he was the chip leader for most the game until I got some good hands when we switched dealers. But that championship round I couldn't get anything going but at least I wasn't the first one out. There is something about a concert thay I may get to go to. I don't know much else about it besides it's country music. Nothing else really going on around here. I thank all of you that are supporting me while I'm out here by writing me and sending me packages. Whick reminds me I have a new address so that things get to me a little faster.

Yeah....

Hello all. Some people wanted to see a new picture of me out here so I took this the other day. I figure it adds to the video game playing experience if you put on all your combat gear before you start playing a game of sonic the hedge hog. I know most think it would make more sense if I was playing a shoting game but in the marine corps we rarelly do what makes the most sense. Plus there is ust something about a blue hedge hog that I don't trust. He has to be up to something. Nothing really new is going on out here. I got two packages yesterday but one wasn't mine(marines run the mail rooms). But it was nice to recieve a movie from my parents. It helps mix things up when you have such few movies to begin with and we just keep rewatching them. But you never can get enough Tommy Boy(greatest comedy EVER). It really is starting to warm up out here. Getting up into the 100's most days. Makes you want to stay and hide inside our little bunkers. I mean its night right now and I'm still sweating. It rained several inchs the other day in a under 20 min which sucked because it had to wait till I had to go out and do work so I got soaked. That's all I can think to say right now.
