SPF WARFACE!




Good Friday to you all and to all a good Friday! Todays Self Portrait Friday is ordered by KATY who so graciously put a picture of ME up yesterday on her site! It wasn't a great day when that picture was taken, but me and Curt got into a fight with one of the huge RATS he shot here!

So the theme on todays SPF is putting on your WARFACE, and I guess no matter what face I make here right now, it would be considered a War face, so I had a little fun with it! And here is my War face!

I decided to not post anything today political, because I don't need to, and I love talking politics in person, and in writing it is not as fun! People, when they get mad, tend to say things hateful in writing, and I think sometimes they would not say them in person! Sometimes, myself included!

Also remember the other day when I said that I put one of my greatest ideas ever on Classmates.com? I put my "Now" picture up, and then since I don't have a "Then" picture I put up a creative one in it's place! Well, I am happy to say I have been terminated from Classmates.com!!!!!! Yes, they didn't send a email saying to please take the picture off, they went straight to the "banned" card! Oh NO, don't ban me from Classmates.com!!!! Good, now maybe I won't get crappy junkmail from them! Lighten up Classmates!!!!! I will not post that picture on the site, but if you email me I will be glad to send it! And to my 3 mom's, sorry, I can't send it to you all, you wouldn't like it!!! Hey, any NC people that read this know the picture that we superimposed Batson into! That's the one!

******Update to Classmates.com: I have now gone BACK and signed up as another friend I used to have and his name was Mike Riphone! He was a good guy, and the only problem I had with them was he was too loud! But if you go back to the Class of 1990 and at Apple Valley High School, and see Mike Riphone say HI!!!!! *********

OK, other than that I guess this will be the first weekend of the NFL so GO VIKES, and remember if you go to the game at the dome this weekend look for the message on the Jumbotron that I made from the palace! Remember I am holding a needle and saying "Hey Metrodome, this is Sgt Erik Holtan from Camp Victory Iraq, and Vikings, I want you to STICK IT, to the TB Buccaneers! SGM, where are you from?" He says TB, and I give him a shot and he screams! OK, I have said this before, but if your at the game look for it! I did 3 or 4 takes, and the first one is the only one that had a real shot, so I want to know what one they used!

Lastly, to all the family members that read when I "used" to swear on my site, and that I am not always the polite young man that they have known! (I guess all mothers think their boys are all polite and innocent) Thats Ok, she always believed me when I said my homework was done as well! But, I try to be REAL on the site, and I find that I seem to be abrasively honest here. In the fact that I tell EVERYONE honestly how I feel. Like you know if soemone asks me if I want to g to BIAP and pick up someone, well I say NO! If they TELL me to I will! If the General asks me on the spot "Do you want to go home early?" And I say "Heck Yes!" Well, he did ask me this in a staff meeting, and he asked me and the 1SG if the PDHA team wanted to leave early since our mission is winding down! I sat and WAITED for the 1SG to answer, and after about 1 second, I blurted out "Heck Yes!" Well, don't get excited honey, it probably ain't gonna happen! Some people that say they would go home early probably get paid too much and like their independance here to go home early! But MAN, after that Staff meeting people were like, I can't believe you actually said that to the General out loud! WHAT? Bunch of fake cowards that have proven in those statements, they are capable of lying because they DO, when the brief the General, the make things looks good even though they might not be! Oh well, tell the truth, and it might not still come out like you want it, but NO ONE ever got punished for telling the truth or doing the right thing! Well, if they did they shouldn't have!

Alright, have a GREAT weekend, and cheer for the Gophers vs. Colorado State, and for the Vikings vs. Tampa Bay!

Later,

Erik

Good morning Erik...or rather good afternoon where you are. One of the things that is so cool about your blog is that you ARE sometimes painfully honest...which is probably something we would all like to be at times. Your blog is all yours and we benefit greatly from your sincere, honest, clever and funny posts. I think I will add a new request to the daily prayers I say...and that would be that "Heck yes" from a SGT was all the General needed to hear to decide to send your unit home.
Have a good and safe weekend Erik...oh,and I will root for the Vikes if you root for the Bills vs
Houston this weekend.
God bless you.

I'll tell my sis to look for you - she's gonna be at the game! Have a good weekend! I hope your "heck yes" gets you sent home earlier - I would think the general would rather hear the truth, but I don't know much about generals.

Told the hubby you did an announcement for the Vikes game. Not that we live close enough to go anymore... LOL.

We actually had season passes 'once upon a time'.

Ummm - I saw the WAR FACE theme but wasn't really sure what it meant so I didn't play. I can look pretty damn scary in the mornings - or when I'm really pissed off at the husband. Maybe that would be my war face!?

Loved the "war" pic. Thanks for the laugh.

Apple Valley?? Get outta town!! As in, Antelope Valley...138...High desert? Mi familia is up there. However, if that's not the AV you're talking about then, uh, me neither.

Sometimes a big old "heck" is needed to drive the point across.

But you know me...swearing is a big no-no. Mouth is CLEAN as a whistle.

Hey erik- Guess who is actually getting deployed this go around- Yep the hubby just called and said for some reason they don't think his migraines and hearing is a problem for this deployment- go figure I did't plan for this one at all cuz they didn't send him with you guys- and I was in denial that he would actually make it through the SRP! So I guess some time with in the next week or so they're going to god knows where to train up and head over. Suckie Suckie guess we'll have to put having another kidlet on hold for the next year or two (unless I sneak a well planned out flight to where they will be deploying from for one last chance effort) Well take care- The Connerys'
