When MilBlogger's kids email the Front

Sorry I didn't email you sooner. There hasn't been much to talk about.

You remember the conversation we had about the xbox, and having some way to lan over the internet? Well I found such a thing. Steve and I spent a night trying it out. It involved me taking the 10/100 card out of the downstairs computer and putting it in the Gateway. From there the computer would synthesis the lan connection. The only drawback is there is about 1 second of lag. So if I pull the trigger the animation of me firing would take place a second later and the bullet would hit where I was aiming a second before I shot. Not quite what I was hoping for.

Went paint balling the other day. Went pretty well. I only got shot once in the finger and in the hip. However Steve looked like the target dummy on a shooting range. There was one guy there named Bruce (Almighty) who is like 2nd in the country with his team. After each match you would see over half the people covered in his paint. On the castle siege course he was against me and making a strong push on our flank. He pined me in the tower ( One wall in front of me to my right and one behind ) To my knowledge there were two of us left against four of them. I was down to only a few shots. I kept my eye on a tear in the seams between the back and right wall and saw Bruce creeping forward. I popped my barrel through the tear and shot at him 3 times. I didn't know if any of them had broke ( marked him ) and I knew one more guy was close behind. I yelled over to my remaining team mate and told him we should make a run to a better defilade. This would keep us safe from attack from behind. We made a sprint out and made it safely. Now we had two others shooting at us from the left side and one on the right who was unaware of where we were at the time...which didn't last long. The one man on the right moved up behind the fort and pined us in an ugly position. I shot my remaining shots at the guys on the left and said I would try and safety kill them (get too close for shooting and claim a kill ) I ran in front of the fort and saw Bruce walking off to the side OUT! I found one more teammate in a crater about 5 feet in front of me and the two attackers on the left made a fast retreat when they saw me running. They turned and shot my partner in the hole and I was left without someone to cover me on my suicide run. We lost but the true victory was killing Bruce Almighty. That was the only time in his six hour day there that he died.

School news: I am working on my last Essay for english and it's a 9 pager. It's a research essay on cloning ( my choice of topic ). As for the java class I have maintained my steady easy streak and haven't had any trouble yet.

As I am writing this ( just after the rerun of the vp debate ) there was an interview between to big blogs ( one lib and one con ). Wonkette Didn't know if you've heard of it. and Powerline. I didn't see a place to leave comments. I wonder how websence categorized it.

Till next time,

Thanks son, looking forward to more. By the way Websense categorized Powerline as "Message Board/Chat and it's blocked (Especially ironic for a blog without comments.) Wonkette is not.
