Haircut

I went to the barbershop yesterday and I have to tell you that I look alot like Brad Pitt when he had really short hair. The picture today is what I look like after the haircut. This will be the last time I ever cut my hair this short, unless Universal Studios offers me a lot of money. But the whole process here to get a haircut is very funny to me. The army guys get a haircut that I don't quite understand. They go bald all the way up the side of their head to a spot that is right at the crown of their head. Then they have a patch of long hair. And as I watch the barbers cut their hair, the barbers don't usually get it exactly straight and since it's on the back of their head, they don't know it is not straight. Looks funny. So I'm trying to get a new type of haircut for this place. I wanted something that was like a crew cut but not too bald. The guy did ok I guess, but he asked me to close my eyes then he started cutting my eyebrow hair. Boy, that hurts your self esteem. I think of my Grandfather. I guess I need to "watch" that in the future.

At midnight last night we went into body gear. I thought, another attack and geez, I was alseep. So as I do what is required to protect myself from the mortars, I grab my brick and listen in to what's going on. As it turns out, and I feel sorry for the guy, this guy was driving his humvee around the base and his tire blows out. He grabs his brick, calls the alarm for attack and he goes running into a ditch with mud from ...... liquid from..... a porto potty leak. And then as the security force show up to checkout the damage, they find the blown tire and no other damage. He did the right thing but wow, he woke up the whole base. And that is that.
