What war did you fight in? And, just curious, do you have flashbacks? And what do you think about the "gulf war syndrome". As an former soldier, do you believe in it?

no flashbacks and who said i was a "former soldier"? i could tell you about the battles i have been in, but then i'd have to kill you

on a serious note, i have seen several friends suffer ill-effects from serving in the gulf, so yeah, it exists & it sucks

[slainte]

so sandkind friend,

where are you stationed? of have been in Georgia (i think that is where you hide...j/k).

i lived at ft stewart when i was a kid. nothing like snakes, bugs and humidity!!! loved playing on the tank trails tho!

I am reading this....it's a really good read. Very pertinent to the times we are in.

Right now I am reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. I started reading it after I saw the broadway show. (Excellent show, by the way.)

I haven't gotten very far, though. Right after I started reading it, I moved. So, I've been kinda busy with packing and then unpacking.

I might have to start checking out those romance novels though. I could use a little steaminess in my life.

I'm currently reading "PIG CITY" by ANDREW STAFFORD. is a rockumentry about the music scene in Brisbaine Queensland Australia.

it covers bands like the Saints, to regurgitator, the Go betweens and powderfinger. not that far in but so far it rocks!

I'm reading "Cash" a biography of Johnny Cash. He had an interesting life that man.

[XtasyOfDreams]

Walk the Line was pretty good, too. I don't care what people say.

Anyone ever hear of Singletini? I heard it's a really good book for single women to read. I wanna get my hands on a copy, but I'm kinda cheap. I just moved to Chicago, so I've been spending waaaay too much.

I'm reading Nando Parrado's "Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home". I haven't finished it yet, but up until now I'm really enjoying it. I read Piers Paul Read's "Alive", (which is also a very good book imo, very detailed), but you only really realize how horrible it most have been for them when the story is written by one of the survivers. He certainly manages to grab your attention!

[Lively Chick]

That's the story about them turning to cannabalism to stay alive right. Oh man! the horror of it all. I'll say i wouldnt have done that. Not me no way . But then, I wasn't in their position, thank God! and I have never endured a day of starvation.

I am currently reading "Fell In Love with a Band" which is a book about the White Stripes
