WOW sounds like you've been busy as well! I'm soo happy to hear about your relationship, isnt it nice to have someone to share life with? and yeah about going through the 'rough times' in the beginning - that's totally normal, and is more than usually worth it!
I know what it's like to go through a 'stunt' with your creativity, mine was also when i was in college for a short period of time - what are you going to college for? and what is your novel about so far? i dont think i have the creative capacity to write more than a few paragraph short story, let alone a novel! lol sounds intense...
iraq sucked, plain and simple... it was overly hot when it was hot, and overly cold when it was cold, and when it rained, not only did it rain WATER for days at a time, seemed like it was raining mud and scud missles half the time.. yeah stories, not really "THERE" yet to talk about alot of them, im sure you understand, everyone deals with being in a war inviorment differently, i have friends that went through two two-year tours and it doesnt phase them whatso ever, usually they're the single unmarried no kid ones... but it deffinatly made me grow up A LOT! which is a good thing, made some problems for me and my wife but we've been working through them, just being here for her and my kids is all i can do to start to make a difference in my actions and what not, anger is one word that seems to be in my life more than any other emotion lately, but like i said, i'm getting over that
Yeah i asked about the car thing, because i have a few friends up in Canada that have Nissan Maxima's like me, i have a 96' SE 5speed with quite a few mods done to it, it's my new addiction lol it's amazing how fast you can make that little v6 family car go - beating mustangs and comaro's is like a daily occurance which is funny when they're like wtf... anyways - if you decide to get rims and want to sell your murano rims let me know lol they fit maxima's and look good too
Keep in touch - i'm actually going to start working on music again, i used to spin alot when i lived in LA and i kind of miss it, i just baught/downloaded Reason and a few other drummbass makers and i'm gonna see what i can come up with... And i still need to get photoshop working properly..
And 21 is a good age lol i'm only 23 but i feel 45 lol - it goes by really fast once you get into your 20s as you know i'm sure......
