I really don't have comments about this is just incredible how vary some people are that just doesn't care about the life's of others.

Jersey Shore

What you guys think about the one of the Jersey Shore?
This show is broadcast every thrusday at 10 pm by MTV, many of you guys will say that this show is pathetic and stupid, however, everyone has their own opion so my opinion about this show is that in a way is entertaining and funny, but also will show us how this have change since back in the day. There are many values that we have lost and many believes as well, this new times are changing everyone so fast, women are open to much things than what they were before, things such as sex, alcohol, drugs. This shows I believe in a way can show us how much women and men have to put all their standards just because is a new time.
Wells I watch this show because is funny and I guess this ramdon people struggle for friendship, and just to keep up with new things, also it shows a some part where I remember I did too, but that life.

A Bad Day For Soccer

Today was a bad day for soccer. A couple of days after Anthonio Valencia's injury, last night and ref, a soccer ref that was part of the World Cup in 2002. The World Cup is the major soccer event that only occur every four years where the best 34 soccer team of the world face each other in a month long tournament to see who is the best team of all.
Wells yesterday Byron Moreno a ref from World Cup 2002 was stopped at JFK, while he was getting check he stated to get nervouis making the agents worry, and notice he had something.
JFK police reports that e was found transporting six kilos of heroin. The heroin was found in blocks stock to this body, Is incredible that a man that everyone remember as part of the the best event of the world got coughed by police for the six kilos of heroin.
He did not have no comments about it.  Is incredible how a man with a good reputation, is the world becoming a worse place to everyone, I can't believe how bad this is plus he is from Ecuador, which makes this even worse to find out because I'm from Ecuador too. I guess people make mistakes, hope he really learn his lesson, because hes going to jail for a long time. However, I'm glad because some of the trash of drugs are out of the street and away from our kids.

Bad Day For Anthonio Valencia

What a game! today was not only a bad day for me or for most ecuadorians base on tht today Anthonio Valencia the best ecuadorian soccer player that is currently playing for Manchester United from england.
One of the best soccer leagues has put Anthnio Valencia in the tp making him one of the greaters player making him proud and making Ecuador proud of him as well. The injury he suffer was really bad a fracture ancle and a broken leg after he was running and step in a mess up area in the field.
The the Doctors that are taking care of him along with his family are hoping for a soon recovery along with all his team member and staff.
"I have other three player for his pisition but no one is good as Valencia is" was the words from the couch of the Manchester United soccer team.
According to the media Anthonio will be out the field for for at least a year but according to the Doctor and testimony of his family, there's a big major possibility that he may be back by May 2011 which everyone is hoping he will, he was the hope of the Ecuador soccer team. Is not easy to loose a player so valiable as he is, he is only 24 years old and have a great future ahead, he need to get fix as soon as possible, everyone is waiting for him.
We need him, he is a great soccer player and it will suck that his career has to be over just because an injury, many others have not come back and other have, will see what is the destiny for such a valiable player as Anthonio Valencia.

RANGE DAY

What an amazing day! I have to talked about my day, is was amazing.... After a long time of not shooting not having a gun in my hands was just great to have one and fire on. I had to make a two hours drive to Henryville, PA and getting to the range, wit my little brother and my marine cousin we got to a great range.
Getting there I was actually rusty, I went to fire a 9mm berate and my first three shots were good but kind of off, however after I just felt like it was a great and everything just came back to me. I started to shooting some really thigh groups with a 9mm, also with a 1911 45cal pistol, it was great than my and my buddies just jump into the shotguns and having some good time. It was great doing it and seeing my little brother shooting for the first time because he want to follow my steps and become a Marine just like me.
Then we went to the moving targe with I didnt miss any targets, it was a great shooting and got complements from my cousin and brother. than something mayor happened they got one of my babies there a AR30 sniper rifle I could not resist and I had to go for them, I went and shot it, it was great fell like it was stronger than my M40A4 sniper rifle that I used in my military career but it was not as great as the M81 50 cal sniper rifle.
The major thing that I can say about this day is that I had an amazing time and so much fun, I'm planning to go back in like a month and have some fun again.

Issues

Federal District Court Judge Virginia A. Phillips has succeeded in doing what Congress and the president have failed to do so far: end the blatantly discriminatory and unconstitutional "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
While all branches of government have been involved in the fight to change this outdated law, it is the judiciary that once again has proven itself to be the true guardian of American liberty.
But this victory in the courts may be very short lived, given that President Obama has decided to appeal Judge Phillips' decision that declared "don't ask, don't tell" to be unconstitutional. His Justice Department has decided to seek a stay of her injunction halting enforcement of the law.
This puts the president in a unique positition: Not only has he not used his executive power to either halt further discharges under the law or aggressively lobby the legislative branch for speedy passage of repeal legislation, but he is actively using his authority to work against the actions of another branch that precisely accomplished a policy objective that the president says he supports.
This failure of the president to lobby for repeal this year is inexcusable. He has indeed done some things to help set the stage for repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," but the timeline the executive branch desired included a duplicative study stretching out for nearly all of 2010, followed by the hope for legislative action in 2011.

People died in India

At least 10 people were killed and as many others injured in a stampede that broke out during a ritual at a Durga temple in Bihar, India, the nation's official Doordarshan news agency reported Sunday via the Indian government's website.
The stampede broke out Saturday night, the news agency said, at the temple in Bihar's Banka district during the "Navrati" festival, one of the most celebrated festivals of the Hindu calendar.
More than 45,000 devotees were at the temple to offer prayers and sacrifice goats when the stampede occurred, officials told Doordarshan. A portion of the sacrificed goat's body fell on some people, creating a scare that led to the stampede, according to the report.
"Ten deaths have been confirmed so far, while four are stated to be in critical condition," District Magistrate Aadesh Chitarmare told the news agency. 
Is incredible that in such a day, a day that is so important for the Hinduisms, all this killing occur.

Situation

What’s up with The Situation?
Last week he was slapping Snooki across the face and trying to steal Vinny’s date, and this week he was disrespecting women - more so than usual - and preventing Pauly D from “getting it in.” Not cool, Sitch.
As the episode kicked off, Vinny gushed about his amazing new girl, Ramona, while Snooki and Ryder said their goodbyes. Snooki cried to JWoww, saying that Ryder made her realize how much she misses home. JWoww tried to cheer her up by suggesting they go tanning, but no such luck. Only two things could dry Snooki’s eyes at a time like this: Gorillas and juiceheads.

Solution? A night in Space - the club, not the great beyond –- where the party doesn’t stop until 2 p.m. the next day, according to JWoww.
In preparation, The Situation goes to the barbershop to get his hair done.
“If you lookin’ good, you feelin’ good. If you feelin’ good, you get good results.” Wise words.
JWoww gets ready, too. She dons a two-piece, mesh ensemble that Snooki says makes her look like “the ultimate stripper.”
Unfortunately, the crew was asked to leave when the Situation stepped in to rescue Snooki from some trash-talking club-goers.
In an effort to salvage the night, Pauly invites two girls back to the house. But when Sitch finds out his girl isn’t interested in getting busy, he kicks her out – ruining Pauly’s night in the process. (Worst. Wingman. Ever.)
“You don’t come over to someone’s house at 5 a.m. and expect to play checkers,” Sitch says. While this does not justify his behavior, one might argue he makes a valid point.
The next day, Vinny and Pauly meet Ramona and Rocio at the beach. Sammi and Ronnie show up, too, turning the day into some kind of weird couples outing. I expected more from “Jersey Shore.”
That night, as The Situation cooks dinner, the smoke detectors are set off, causing the fire department to send a team of beefy firemen to the house. After JWoww and Snooki share their individual fantasies regarding said firemen, they just up and leave. Seriously, MTV? If there’s ever a time to manipulate the events of a reality show…
Instead of watching Snooki and JWoww shamelessly throw themselves at firefighters, we watched Sam and Ron fight about the fact that she’s negative and he finds Asian women, like his ex-girlfriend, attractive.
In other news, Vinny and The Situation take part in the “Guido version of the ‘The Amazing Race’" while looking for their Escalade at the impound lot. Snooki gets all dressed up, but decides not to crash MVP's guy’s night out.
And then… “Déjà vu all over again.”
What did you think of last night’s episode of “Jersey Shore?” What’s up with The Situation?

Yemen FIghting Al Quaeda

Yemen was carrying out airstrikes and a ground campaign Sunday against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in the southern part of the nation, according to a government official.
"Yemen's security forces have been in engaged in a ground and air campaign for two days in Abyan province against al Qaeda," said the official, who is not authorized to speak to the press about the campaign. The official said the battle is fierce and bloody and is part of a larger low-intensity conflict with AQAP.
The airstrikes began on Saturday and were continuing on Sunday, the official said. "This is no doubt in retaliation to an attempt by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to kill the governor and junior regional security officials this past week."
At least six militants have been killed, the official said, as the airstrikes targeted militant gatherings in the province's Lawdar and Moudeya districts.
"Western embassies in Sana'a were put on high security alert -- especially the British and American embassies," the official said, referring to Yemen's capital. "The government of Yemen has increased security outside those embassies and they were heavily fortified in fears of AQAP retaliation."
Residents of Sana'a have been hearing the fighter jets as they fly south toward the operations, the official said.
Tribesmen from Abyan province are supporting the provincial governor after AQAP killed his brother in an ambush aimed at assassinating the governor himself, the official said.
Saturday night, two suicide bombers were killed after their vehicle, which was rigged with explosives, attempted to ram a military motorcade in Moudeya, the official said. The car exploded after Yemeni forces shot at the suspicious vehicle with high-caliber machine guns.
On Friday, a man accused of financing al Qaeda in Yemen -- another name for AQAP -- was arrested at Sana'a International Airport. Yemen's Ministry of Interior said Saturday the suspect, Saleh al-Raimi, is a Yemeni expatriate living in Saudi Arabia and that he was "wanted for financing al Qaeda terrorist acts in Yemen."
Also Friday, the Interior Ministry offered a reward of 20 million Yemeni riyal (about U.S. $100,000) for information leading to the capture of eight suspected members of al Qaeda in Yemen. The nation's official Saba news agency identified the eight, urging the public to cooperate and warning citizens not to shelter any of the suspects.
And a wanted al Qaeda in Yemen member turned himself in to Saudi Arabian authorities on Friday, Saudi Arabia's official Saudi Press Agency reported, citing a security spokesman at the country's Ministry of Interior. The statement added that the man, Jaber bin Jibran bin Ali al-Afifi, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, had rejoined al Qaeda in Yemen after he had returned from captivity.
In the past week, AQAP is suspected of being behind three separate attacks that have killed at least two Yemeni security officials, according to a government official.
Last week also saw the release of an audio recording purported to be from Qassim al-Rimi (also known as Abu Hurira al-Sanaei), the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, that was posted on radical militant websites. The speaker promised that Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, would be punished "for his crimes" and announced that a new army would rid the country of "crusaders and apostates." CNN could not verify the authenticity of the recording.

Missing girl

Investigators have narrowed down the date of the last time someone other than a family member saw a missing 10-year-old North Carolina girl to September 25, police said Saturday.
Zahra Baker was reported missing October 9, and Burke County Sheriff John McDevitt has said she is believed to be dead.
Her disappearance is being investigated as a homicide, and her stepmother has been arrested on charges of obstructing justice.
Police earlier had said that no one outside the girl's immediate family had reported seeing her for nearly a month. But officials recently said another witness had come forward to say Zahra was seen in mid- to late September.
Authorities have spent days combing an area about 20 miles north of Zahra's home in Hickory, North Carolina. On Thursday, as many as 70 searchers were backed by dogs and a backhoe that was used to clear piles of wood and mulch, McDevitt said.
The searches near Morganton started Tuesday as investigators focused on a lot where Zahra's father, Adam Baker, frequently worked hauling loads of wood and brush to be mulched. Wednesday, investigators came up empty after draining a pond next door.
Police said last week that the stepmother, Elisa Baker, admitted to writing a fake ransom note that was left at the family's home. She was arrested Sunday on an unrelated charge of passing bad checks, prosecutors said.
Elisa Baker remained jailed on those charges Thursday. Her bail has been set at a combined $70,000, an amount her lawyer called "excessive." Police said Adam Baker also faces bad-check charges, but is not being arrested while he assists police.
"At this point, he's doing what we ask him to do. If we need him to do something, he shows up," said Clyde Deal, Hickory's deputy police, on Thursday chief. Deal said other searches have been conducted, but the warrants have been sealed and no details are being released.
Zahra reportedly suffered from bone cancer and used a prosthetic leg and hearing aids. The hearing aids have been found, but not the prosthesis, Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins has said.
Relatives and friends of the family have alleged that Elisa Baker physically abused Zahra and said she was reported to state social services officials. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has declined comment on the case.

miner in trouble

Manuel Gonzalez was eager to get the rescue operation under way as he descended the shaft to the darkness where 33 miners had been trapped since August 5.
He and a team of 15 others from mines across Chile had been preparing for "Operation San Lorenzo" for a week. They'd done practice runs of readying the miners for their trip to surface and operating the metal rescue capsule bearing Chile's flag that would carry them 2,300 feet to freedom.
Each member of the rescue team was ready and able to do the job just as well as the rest, says Gonzalez -- which is why he was especially honored to be chosen as the first team member to go down to the mine.
"I was very moved because they chose me, because the whole team had the necessary skills," Gonzalez said in a press conference Thursday outside the San Jose mine site. "I had seen it on TV and I wanted to see it with my own eyes, and I wanted to start the operation."
Nothing could have prepared him for the jubilant reception -- or the intense heat -- he encountered upon entering the mine.
"They ran. One of them was already waiting for me. They hugged me and congratulated me for being the first one. But more than anything, I was very happy to see them. I mean, my first reaction was very strong because they were like in shock because temperature down there was about 40 degrees Celsius [104 degrees]."
Chile continued to celebrate the smooth success of the rescue operation on Wednesday as the miners prepared to leave a hospital in Copiapo, Chile, Thursday.
Gonzalez, a 20-year veteran of mining, said he was not particularly nervous about going into the mine, due to his years of experience and the amount of planning that had gone into Operation San Lorenzo.
The former professional soccer player had another reason to look forward to reaching the miners: the prospect of meeting Franklin Lobos, a former Chilean soccer star whom Gonzalez once regarded as an "idol."
But this time around, Gonzalez says he saw a different side of Lobos.
"I saw him almost immediately... he also remembered me, he's a great guy and he was one of the group's leaders. He was able to stay calm," he said.
With the help of Gonzalez's colleagues underground and above, the miners ascended the makeshift shaft one by one with such precision that the crew was able to shorten the length of time they thought they'd need to get each miner to the surface, from one hour to 20 minutes.
Echoing the sentiments of others involved in the rescue, Gonzalez credited the success of the rescue to solid teamwork and coordination at all stages, from planning to execution.
"I am just one link in the chain and there was tremendous discipline and order," he said. "I am just part of a great team."

Here is my second post

Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right move, but the United States made mistakes in the aftermath, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told CNN on Friday.
In an interview to be broadcast Monday on CNN International's "Connect the World" program, Rice acknowledged a failure to focus rebuilding efforts throughout the country and attributed the problem to a lack of understanding.
"I do believe I would take Saddam Hussein out of power again, but of course in the rebuilding of Iraq ... I would do things differently," Rice said. "I think we put too much emphasis on Baghdad and not enough emphasis on the provinces. Perhaps we didn't fully understand the degree to which the society would start to come apart as a result of being held in tyranny for all those years."
At the same time, Rice said it is still too early to fully judge the success or failure of that war or other foreign policy issues in the administration of George W. Bush.
"Sometimes things that look terrific at the time look pretty bad in retrospect, and vice versa, so ultimately this is a story that will be written in history," said Rice, who served as secretary of state for the second of Bush's two four-year terms as president.
Rice had a full day in Washington planned, including several interviews, two speeches and a White House meeting with President Barack Obama. A memoir on her childhood, as well as a version for young readers, came out this week.
The invitation from a sitting president to a former Cabinet member is "not that unusual," Rice said, adding that she believes they'll discuss "a range of foreign policy issues."
"It's whatever the president wants to talk about," she said.
Obama has criticized the Bush administration for shifting focus from Afghanistan to Iraq, which he says stalled the effort to vanquish the Taliban insurgency and prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a haven for al Qaeda and other terrorists to launch attacks against the United States.
White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters Friday that with Rice scheduled to be in Washington, Obama wanted to "chat" with her. Burton said a wide range of foreign policy issues would be discussed.
Rice spoke further about Iraq when answering questions after a luncheon speech at the National Press Club, saying the purpose of the U.S. invasion was to get rid of the threat posed by Hussein. "We didn't go to war in Iraq to democratize Iraq," she said, adding that the United States didn't fight Adolf Hitler in World War II to democratize Germany.
"You go to war when there is a security threat, and Saddam Hussein was seen as a threat to our interests and our security," Rice said. While acknowledging that "we could have done many, many things much, much better," she noted that removing Hussein from power changed Iraq for the better.
"What is the conversation we're having about Iraq today?" she asked, noting it didn't involve weapons of mass destruction and other issues from the Hussein era. Instead, it's about whether Sunni and Shiite factions can form a coalition government, she said.
Rice, the second African-American in history to serve as secretary of state, also said that while race relations in America have improved enormously in her lifetime, "there is no more sensitive or more difficult issue in the United Sates than race."
"This is not a color-blind society," she said. "When somebody walks in the door, you do see color."
Asked about her possible political future, Rice made clear she has no plans to run for office any time soon. She said she keeps responding to the question by saying the time's not right, and added: "Maybe the time isn't ever going to be right."
"I got to be secretary of state," Rice said. "That's quite enough."
In her interview with CNN International, Rice also commented on domestic issues. Asked about the conservative Tea Party movement in the United States that has roiled Republican politics, Rice said there is no reason to fear such grass-roots democratic expression, even if she differs with Tea Party supporters on some issues.
"The Tea Party is, of course, a vast collection of people and there are lots of views which I would not associate with -- I am a free trader and I believe in defending immigration -- but the best way to understand the Tea Party is that it really is a grass-roots movement, and in that sense it's healthy," she said.
Rice attributed the rise of the Tea Party movement to "a sense that Washington, with big government and deficit spending, has lost touch."
On her successor at the helm of the State Department, Rice said Hillary Clinton is doing a "fine job."
"It's a tough job," she said. "You're always on an airplane. Sometimes you never quite know what country you're in, and you're always hoping you're not going to make the mistake and say you're in a country that you're not in. I did it on one occasion, but I hope no one noticed."
Rice also will be interviewed Friday on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."

What A Game

Today was a regular day at work nothing new nothing out of the ordinary, so customers that were just been assholes but is normal I'm more than use to it. However we got a tv and we were watching the soccer game.... Yes guys I'm a soccer fan
Wells it was a really good game I bet $50 on this game so I was really interesting to watch, The game was for the UEFA cup, the team were Real Madrid @ Ajax.
It was a really good game it started with a fair game, possesion of the ball was even so it was really exciting, until when a corner kick was delivered by Alonso and the forward Higuain made a really nice goal, got my so excited because I could already feel those $50 on my packet, however Ajax in the first have they made a good couple of opportunities, that got me a little worry but the first half was over with a 1 - 0.
The second half began with more possession of Real Madrid making the game better and more interesting by time went on Christiano Ronaldo one of the best soccer player missed some really good opportunities to score but it had it to be Higuain again the one who will score the second goal, making me happy and knowing for sure that my favorite team is doing really good, and made my day by putting $50 on my pocket

What Are My Plans To Improve My Bloggin

I have made a couple of decisions about what I need to do to improve my blogs, I know my professor does not asked us for much and I really don't need to lower my GPA for my stupidity.
Is not easy to write, and I really not a blogging type of person but I guess this is what we got to do and I need to do it. First of all I came out with a plan so I can catch up with the blogs that I missed, which are 10 of them. I made the plan to catch up by staring today of making to blogs per day, which in 5 days it will put me up to day, just hope that Professor Kinsley will accept and see that I'm improving my blogs.
However, the other question will be what to blog about, I know I'm not a good blogger and I believe that if I start to keep blogging about my day it will be too repeatably.
So I made the decision to improve my time management and also to find better topic to blog about I choose to start looking in the newspapers, internet, any communication source, so I can find interesting topics to blog about such as The War, different types of news, what is going on in the world, new technology, TV, radio anything that is interesting to people and that will make a good blog, plus I need to catch up with my other blogs so I have look for different topics to write about .
I'm glad I realize what I was doing wrong and what I need to do to improve my blogs this way it will help my get a really good grade and put unimportant things on the site and focus on my priorities .

Why haven't I kept up with my blogs

Honestly I don't have an excuse, plus I'm the type of person who believes that is all up to us to do what we are expected to do.... I'm going to be honest last time I posted was September 4, which makes it 10 days ago.
I couldn't believed it I have been so irresponsible, I'm not going to sit in front of this computer and bullshit or try to make up excuses for my irresponsibility, The first reason why I didn't post was because of work Labor day weekend was exousted and so stressful that when I got home I was just like I'm so tired in labor day weekend I made close to 60 hours just from Friday to Monday
The second reason why I haven't blog are just lame and I went to a couple of parties and drinking which is not been good for me because it made my stack in my job, school, and other personal business, other main reason for this weekend was my cousin's wife baby shower, plus he's always helping us so we had to help my cousin with this party, so i took that and made it like a whole week project.
Now its been 10 post that I missed so I have to do something about, maybe all this little problems that I been facing and I let them get to me, but I made a decision of step it up is not good I need an "A" in this class and I need to step it up before is to late.

Lyrics

Here is the Lyrics of my daughter favorite song, the songs name is Waka Waka by shakira, this song was created for the world cup here it is guys;
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isnt over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it

When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...

Tsamina mina

Their Expectations

No hesitations

Today's your day
I feel it
You paved the way
Believe it

If you get down
Get up Oh oh...
When you get down
Get up eh eh...

Yesterday was a great day i picked her up around 10 in the morning and we head out to Coney Island I wanted to take her at first to the beach because she loves it but the weather didn't help at all, so we went down to Coney Island and we went to the NY Aquarium, we were there for almost the whole day, we got to see so many different fishes in which she was actually so interesting and happy which made my day seeing her smile.
We also got to see a show in which was pretty awesome and she was so happy, after we head to the mechanical rides for kids and we got on in a couple of them she was a little scare but it was fun, I won't for her a couple of teddy bears and we right after she was so tired so we went to eat and we head out home, but before we did I bought her some candy apple and some candy because as you know kids loves candy, I bet she got that from her mom lol.

Good Day With My Baby

Today was an amazing day and have such a beautiful day with my daughter Karlita. We went to a couple of place we first decide to go to this Italian place downtown by 34th st is call Patsy's they have the best pastas and the best pizza pies we had a peperoni pie we ate, and after we head to chuck E cheese. There we got a blast we got in to the games she had so much fun i will say a little to much, but is good it makes me so happy seeing her smile and laugh.
It was close to 6pm so we went for and ice-cream and we talk a little bit, I was also trying to figure out where should I do her third birthday party, I was looking in to chuck E cheese but honestly is to pack there's to many people in the place and I don't think that my daughter is going to enjoy herself as much plus  I try making the list for the kids that will come to the party and we got 15 kids which is good, however, I got some information about it and I still got a few weeks to decide, if there or an other place, have to see what her mom will like too.
I just can't believe that she is going to be 3 years old already, I still remember her first birthday she was so little and now she talks to me and tell me her little stories is just lovely.

Is Hard

Wow i been actually was seating in front of my Imac just trying to think about what should i should write about, and this moment I'm not sure lol. I don't know if is only me but I not the person that likes to write a lot, I don't know maybe its hard to write when nothing especial happened. Well to be honest nothing exciting happened went to work as usual, just made some few sales and deal with my DM almost all day which is sucks because no cell phones allowed we just have to be focus in the customers.
After I went to school to my third class for this session which is project management. This class was pretty good, it was so interesting, and I actually liked it, is required some work but I don't mind it.
Like I said it was just a regular day at work and then at school, after I went to visit my little brother and mom and I was watching this show its called Jersey Shore which i'm pretty sure many of you readers have seen or at least heard about this show is a funny and actually interesting shown some characters. Wells is time for me to go to bed and get ready for a exciting day with my daughter Karlita tomorrow .

Missing Yesterday's blog

Yesterday was actually a pretty long day and stressful, I know is not an excuse but I was so tired I did not wanted to deal with homework, so I did not do my blog. However, I decide to make two blogs one from yesterday and the other from today.
Yesterday was a really long day at work, at had to deal with some people that really got on my nerved but what can we do is work right. Well I came across something really interesting yesterday, I was reading some article online about "how the combat operation in Iraq is over" and I was reading the comments about the article, and I sow how people are actually so happy because everything is almost over, which I can't disagree, its really nice to at least OIF(operation Iraqi Freedom) is almost over.
What it actually pissed me off is that no one has realize that now Iraq is not a combat zone, which means if someone get injured or someone get hurt there will not be no more benefits from them and actual military personnel that is out there training the IA (Iraqi Army) and they get hurt, there is no benefits, such as pay cut, they will not get pay as a combat zone, they won't get different types of medals for there actions and other benefits that you will receive if you were in a combat zone.
The decision is not bad is just that they should of waited until all the battalions were out to made a big call like that.
