Afghanistan. 

So, the Army censors and doesn't let me on this.  If I wanted to write in my blog for the most part, I would have had to wait in a long ass line at the MWR where there are currently a total of like 8 computers.  

Stupid Army.

There are so many reasons they put forward for not allowing us to maintain contact easier with the rear.  Sometimes I hear that they are are trying to prevent us from telling things that would violate OPSEC (operational security, you know, what would prevent the bad guys from reading my blog).

But really, I get sick of all the censoring.  If it's not bad enough that we have to AFN (Armed Forces Network) cutting out basically all the even semi-sex parts about any movie or show.  I mean, if I wanted to live in a censored society, why would I not just go to China? Or maybe Iran?  Great places to live... yeah.  I liked the way they did it in Europe better.  I saw Show Girls on regular TV there.  There's a whole penis in that one!  Now, there's nothing to say that I want my kids to watch that sort of thing on TV, say I had some.  But that's where actual parenting comes in, and also, paying attention to what the hell your kids are watching.  It's called parenting.  Jesus.

But so here I am.  I got a hold of a civilian line so I could write in my blog and check the rest of the stuff that the Army blocks.  Not like I'm looking at porn or something.  I'm trying to keep in contact with home... with the friends from college that are doing great things, getting married, having babies.  Blah.

Depressing.
