Yeah I havent updated in a while. Shame on me. Work has calmed down a little but I still have to put in extra hours every once in a while. I feel bad I havent been able to talk to Aimee lately. That really makes me feel like an ass because I dont get to talk to her all that much. Yeah this isnt much of an entry but Im not a man of many words.

Work is hell. I was up until 3 last night going over notes and watching the news. I have to work a lot of over time this weekend. I dont think I'm going to have a day of for a few weeks. Thats the thing that really sucks about working as a news reporter, when something big happens work is your life. lala_vj and hilarieburton are lucky they're VJs. They hardly have half the amount of work I do right now.
Knowing MTV, John Iann and I are going to have a lot of the work. carsondaly might too. But you know suchin_pak needs her beauty sleep and a lot of it so she'll have plenty of time off.
Shit when am I going to get out to LA? I planned on surprising aim_echo this weekend, but I dont think thats going to happen. I'm sorry Aimee, I miss you.

Man, yesterday when I said I wasnt exactly for or against war, I must have been smashed or something. Because this shit really sucks. People are dieing, people are dead, and no one wanted this war to happen. No one's ever going to find Saddam. So there's really no point to all this. It's probably only a matter or time before the draft or some shit happens. None of this had to happen. No one wanted it to happen. But for some reason, it did.
God Bless the troops.

Why is it that every time I try to update lj freezes? Especially when I'm almost done with my update. And right now I'm too lazy to re-type the whole thing, and it was kind of boring.
Any way, lots of people are talking about terrorist attacks. Security is supposedly up, but who the hell really knows? I'm not as nervous as some people are about living in a big city, even though we got hit before, but still. You always have to wonder. I'm more worried about LA getting hit because Aimee's there and all.
I'm not exactly for war, but I'm not exactly against it either. Innocent people, some of whom I've met just a few weeks ago, are going to die. I just hope it's not a long war. I'm going to go catch the news and see if anything new has happened in the last half hour or so.

Right now the only downside to my life is that aim_echo lives so far away. I'll try to get out to LA as soon as possible and as often as possible, but I feel bad because I cant always be there.
I dont know what else there is to write about. So I'll leave you all with that.

Sorry, I know I havent been updating as often as I should. I've been spending time with my family and some friends. I guess it's just after seeing all the Marines in Kuwait so far from everyone close to them, it made me realize how much I need everyone in my life. Sorry for sounding like a sap but it's true.
Ive noticed that I see lots of things I never saw in people before, I dont know if it's because of where I went or what I saw, but I see things that I didnt used to. I pay attention more often. When I'm walking down the street I'll take a second to look at people walking by. I never used to do that. Before I was just on my way and that was it. I guess I'm just taking everything in. I guess I'm gonna go now, before I confuse you (or myself) any more.

Yeah so this is my first entry. I would have posted earlier but Ive been kind of busy. I got back from Kuwait the other day, MTV sent me there, so Ive been spending time with my family and some friends. It was really weird being there. It's not completley different from the US but I mean it's a little strange seeing the McDonalds logo with arabic symbols. I just have to say Im glad I'm working for MTV and Im not in the marines. A lot of the people we saw were just kids, hardly my age and a lot of them had families back home. I had to leave everything for a week, not months, and I was starting to get homesick by the end of the trip. Im going to go now, I'm getting pretty tired and I still havent gotten all the sand out of my hair yet. Later.
