i found out yesterday that my friend justin is going to be deployed to kuwait. he's just not sure when. right now, he's just waiting for his call, and once he gets the call, he's got just 72 hours to tie up whatever he has to here in seattle...including school, work, family, and friends. it's a little scary...he's a marine reserve. and it was news to me because i prefer to ignore the impending war that looms over this nation, but the reserves are being called up. and it's even scarier because marines are like the first ones in and last ones out. kind of puts all of my crap into perspective.
