More abstract, macro, and random photos.. thanks to my favorite camera ever, the Canon S5-IS

My awesome watch.. It's got a compass, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, moon chart, tide graph, and of course the date and time :)

Purdy... :p This was made in Jerusalem :)

The warrior Ethos, part of the soldier's creed.. we get this thing after we graduate basic.. It's a good reminder of what I'm fighting for. On the other side are the army vaues: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage.

What I wear around my neck 24/7

a dime... yea..

Yes, it's a comb.. no, I there's nothing special about it.

I'm proud of my camera's macro.. can you tell? :)

Did you know that dollars are not paper at all, but actually a mix of linen, silk, cotton and a couple other fibers?

As You can see, I took a lot of pictures of this dollar bill :) It just made such a good subject for photography :P

Life goes on..

Hey friends, I have a little request for you all, a good friend of mine could use some prayer, for her privacy I won't disclose too much, but her family isn't allowing her to even come home for Christmas, and it's very emotional for her, she's not even 18 and she's out on her own. So keep this friend in your prayers this Christmas, thanks guys ;)
On a lighter note, I'm coming home tomorrow, and I'm pretty excited! I have to get up at 3:30 in the morning, and then enjoy some of the army's wonderful hurry up and wait until my flight at 7:50.. Lovely. LOL anyway, I'm ready to get my butt OUT of this place for a few days to recharge! See some of you then! :)

38 hours!! Almost home :) yay!

LOL this is just a random picture of a styrofoam cup..

Anyway, my facebook readers know I had to go to the doctor to get my legs x-rayed and stuff.. Anyway, I had what I thought I did, which is inferior medial billateral tibula stress fractures, more commonly known as shin splints.. Don't worry, it's just this thin that makes me have leg pain if I run or jump too hard, and a couple weeks of limited running will fix that:)
Anyway, obviously I'm pretty excited about taking a break and getting to see everybody!!
Hopefully I will have chances to see all my friends!
God has blessed me so far, and although sometimes the atmosphere drags me down, I never stay there long :)
Hope you all are enjoying this advent season and are happy and blessed! Don't take your families for granted, cuz someday you'll regret it...
Anyway I should be going, I haven't got a lot to write about tonight.. But God bless you richly and "may your days be peaceful and your nights be golden" as the army parachute performing team puts it... I'll see many of you soon!
Matthew ;p
