I haven't sat in class for years, I'm so tired that my eyes burn, Last night I drank too many beers; Don't call on me, it's not my turn. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Leave me alone, I want to sleep, This line won't rhyme cause of my hangover; I really need some food to eat. I slept an ho...

That's outstanding Nef. It makes me feel good to read about beer.

I found this short story on a busted computer I have. I wrote it a few years ago, let me know what you think My story is not truly mine. It is overshadowed by lust which possibly became love, money, and glorious combat. None of these did I take much part of; except for love. Very few people have ev...

The month of October was spent in the guard towers and a small stint at a warehouse where the platoon could pose a threat and react accordingly to any of the incoming mortar fire. It was a hard and boring month. In the guard towers, the men learned everything about their comrades. So much to the poi...

The next morning the Chain of Command had decided to put armor on the HMMVs. Only, there was no armor to find. "You gotta be kidding" Edwards said to SSG Sedina, "You want us to make wooden boxes and sit them on the seats, fill it with sand; then make more wooden boxes for the guys to sit on in the ...

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others. - Niccolò Machiavelli Edwards, Sharpe, Rainey, and Elliot woke up around 0300 to prepare for the journey into Iraq. Unfortunately, the journey was cut short. "Hold up you four," SSG Sedina said, "You are flying now. I am...

Rally together, gather around. The sense of a battle is near. The cannon sounds a new day begins, fear nothing now the gang's all here. Three weeks had passed and that fateful morning had come. Everyone had to be at the company at 0330 hours for final manifest for the flight. Duke, Jay, and Rich ha...

They sat there drinking heavily on that Tuesday night. All of them just drowning their sorrows or drinking more happiness. Richard Sharpe drank his guiness, Robert Rainey sipped on his henessy, Duke Elliott guzzled his budweiser, while Jay Edwards slowly carressed his Johnny Walker. "There is no way...

A runner came dashing into his office, "Sergeant Jay Sergeant Jay!" "What is it man, spit it out? Can't you see that I am busy! I almost had a tetris on level 8 damn you!" "Sir sir, Mr. Preston has been assassinated." Sitting there, the young man stared blankly at the wall. Learning to control his e...

Short, stocky and Bald Boxer, won a golden glove I recall Beautiful wife and amazing new child Your kid hasn't even seen his daddy smile. All of us were fine when the bomb blew The bomb wasn't big and the armor protected us too I couldn't hear after your scream Everything was in slow motion like a d...

Mr Preston sir, an update to our intelligence, the Quiet one is no longer so. He is one of the many people captivated by Lady Saturn's beauty. He has some silly infatuation and has turned on you. He preaches revolution now. How sad that a very prominent figure has turned on you. But no matter how mu...

Mr. Preston, There seems to be a problem. One of our own, the Quiet Poet as he seems to be named has gone out and.... urinated on our proud banner. May I suggest the following courses of actions: 1. Blow up the planet of Jupiter. 2. Capture this Quiet one and methodically torture him until he does r...

Preston is free and the recruitment has begun. What seems to be a complete female lead army has already launched an attack! All those who want to fight for a cause worth more than any others join Preston and rally to his banner! This wicked woman must be stopped! Think of all the times she has hit y...
