JOSH

Its kinda hard to fit what about you, makes you interesting in this small space. One can't fit a whole life into a space meant for casual reading. But I suppose I can make an effort. My name is Josh. I am 5'11" and about 185lbs./I am half Native American and the rest is a mix of different things that I am not aware of or care to find out. Ever since I was little I wanted to be two things in life...Military and a Police Officer. I have been in the military now for over six years and currently deployed to Iraq. After being on my second deployment...the first one being Bosnia...I have gained a whole other aspect on life. Being in a war zone changes everything. Especially the way you view the rest of the world. Here you worry about being killed or hurt while the rest of the world moves on through there daily rituals. School, work, recreation...and can not relate to anyone who has been here. Although I am thankful to live in a country where we are "free" I think everyone needs to experience it in one way or another. I hear so many complaints on how tough there lives are and why is "God" doing this to me. If they were in my place or in the place of someone else here. They would appreciate life more than ever. And not get caught up in what society views as correct and not give into the pressures of your easy everyday life. The fact of the matter is...life will go on wether you participate in it or not. Life goes on if your not there to see it. Trust me I know. People change, you lose friends, and you make friends. But make the most of the time you have and live life to its fullest. Life is to short to be worried, stressed or mad all the time. Take it all in and enjoy it. You can not control what happens to you. There is a plan for you...you may not believe it. I know I didn't for the longest time...but I am a believer now. Although you can't change what is in front of you...you can certainly understand it better. By dealing with it and moving forward. Well, by reading this you should know a little more about me. When the war is over for me I won't be re-enlisting...I want to enjoy a quite life. You know the old saying...Get married, kids and house. But right now...I have a job to do. Feel free to stop in and ask questions. I ain't goin' anywhere for awhile. Later
