A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
My official birthday isn’t until Thursday, but I did get a rather nice little something today from a couple of readers.
I blog, therefore I am.
Thank you to the two ladies! I usually wear contacts, but I’ve decided it is a good idea to get readjusted back to glasses since they will be all I wear while in Iraq. So, you folks get the privilege of seeing me in glasses. Enjoy.
I’ve also been asked by someone else how to send me stuff for my birthday. I want to make it absolutely clear that I don’t expect anything from anybody, but I won’t be rude and completely refuse. You can Paypal funds to marcus@artitumis.com, or just send me an email and we’ll figure something out. One last time, I do not expect anything from anyone, but I won’t be rude.
Oh, I’ll be 23 this year. Yup, I’m a baby, save the pokes. Well, go ahead and poke. I know y’all will, anyway.

I was waiting till Thursday Cpl. M to tell you Happy Birthday, but it’s really far past so I guess I’ll just say have a great 23rd year in life, and I wish you many good years to come. If you are going to Iraq, stay safe and help your buddies cause it’s worth it. Good luck and God Bless.
