This poem was composed by a young person very close to me. Simple but pleasant and I'd like to share it. The basis of the project was to poetically express their vision of the pain and suffering of Holocaust victims.
When all about you is black with gloom,
And all you feel is pending doom.
When your bones are racked with grim despair
When every breath is a gasp for air.
Keep on going, though you need to grope,
For around the bend is a ray of hope.
A ray of hope is perhaps all th

I spent the previous evening packing and mingling with co-workers whose heartfelt gestures and good byes, coupled with envies at my departure, wished it was their time. I assured them that they would also soon follow suite.
It started off as a good day. A bit chilly and gusty, however it could be nothing but a good day. I awake to my alarm at 5:00am with a huge smile on my face. Reason: Today, I am coming home!!!
I prepared my last minute belongings
Well, trouble has descended upon the LOS before "uarewatueat" could. Beat cha to it buddy. All hell must break loose....LMAO.
Yeah, I finally made it back and this gloomy weather sucks. Seems like it's been forever and a helluva struggle getting here though.
But my trip went great. I happen to run into a good friend of mine in the Amman airport who is a retired Special Forces guy. He also lives in Thailand so it wasn't surprising to me that we were on the same flight. It was surprising that w
I am finally being "released" from Bagdad South Penitentiary Power Plant Correctional Facility!!!! YEAH!!!!
Because my travel was initally compromised by a fellow employee (who was suppose to be traveling with me on that same day) by telling the locals the date of departure, my date of departure has been moved up for safety reasons.
Therefore, I'll see you suckas soon!!!!
Plus that bastard of a site manager is not here so he will not see me when he gets back.....hahahahahahaha...Long gone
Some bosses can be total assholes. Hell, I guess that's what make them booses, huh?
TFer's I need some assistance on how I can get off this job.
Now, to quit, it wouldn't look good on the CV, right?
Can't just walk off the damn job. I'd become a REAL hostage. Plus security may shoot me before I attempt to scale the 12' barrier and jump the fence...or maybe the barewire will get me at the fence first.
How about this? I'll slap the **** out of a co-worker and start a fight? Think this might
Yesterday we lost one of R&B's most influential soulful crooners to exist in the last 2 decades, Luther Vandross.
Often imitated, but never duplicated, this awesome crooning panty- removing tenor aided many by expressing vocally in song what so many people had difficulty trying to express. His music also helped alot of couples take their relationships to another level, make babies, and even sealing the long-term deal, marriage. And not necessarily in that order.
I am truly a witness to th
I got into to work this morning at approximately 8:05am Bagdad time and the first thing I hear out of my Commissioning Managers mouth is, "An American contractor working in a Power Plant(not our plant) here in South Bagdad got kidnapped yesterday". My first impulsive vocal reaction was, "FCUK"!!!!
This response was wholly out of my experience lastnight here in the office alone trying to finish up some personal emails prior to going to my "prison cell".
I was sitting at my desk and about 10:15p
I've been here for a long time. Tell me, what is the criteria for getting a vote? Do you have to look a certain way or is this just something that people use for notoritity? Just want to understand this concept.
