Wet Cement…

Today I saw workers pouring cement. I wanted to walk through it, but I didn’t…

Take a look at this map. When I was five-years old I lived here (the house marked with the red circle and arrow):

This is 566A Brady Drive, Fort Campbell, KY (Clarksville, TN)

Dos Coronas a Mi Madre…

Today would have been my grandmother’s 83rd birthday. She passed away on April 4th of this year (Easter).  This is the obituary that was published by the funeral home in San Antonio.

Margarita P. Galindo passed into her Lord’s hands on April 4, 2010 at the age of 82 years. She was preceded [...]

A Recycled War Story…

Rock, Paper, Pavement…

The other day I posted a video about the dangers of texting and driving. I said that it reminded me of an accident that I was involved in during my time in Iraq. I promised to tell that story, and so I’m keeping good on that promise. This is a revision of some “canned-shit.” I originally [...]

These Are the Brakes…

Do you remember Kurtis Blow? Yeah, Me neither.

Apparently, he used to be a big rap star or some shit. Frankly, I had never heard of the guy until 2002. I was in Oman on R&R from Afghanistan and he was playing a USO tour there for the deployed troops. (For those of you who are products [...]
