I just love these type of holidays that have turned into meaningless commercialization. Easter is the day, as with all holidays where people have a reason to flock the stores to buy decorations. The day so many think is about a bunny, but not just a bunny. A rabbit that lays eggs. With this being said some people think rabbits lay eggs. Of course a person like myself has fun with this tid-bit of information. So I ask, when the rabbit eggs go on sale and are they cheaper than chicken eggs? It does get a few people to wonder. I will continue to research the real reason where rabbits and eggs came from. The eggs came may be interpreted as the empty tomb where Christ was laid. By the way, it is not a cute little bunny but a wild hare that the tradition spread. Well in case I just insulted you, I am not sorry. Take a few seconds of your "busy" life and find out just a little bit about why this day is celebrated. With that being said, I took Natalia to the local festivities which I liked being a small town. Right after we went to Lake Arrowhead where they were pretty much rushed and pictures were taken. Talk about commercialization of a holiday as they were charging minimum $20 per picture. Wow, sorry, I just turned around and left them hanging with their sales pitch.

I told another fellow Doc about my deployment and turns out he too got a call days prior for also a deployment the same month. Still no official orders telling us where we will be stationed. It would be awesome to serve together but I don't have my hopes up for that. I actually hope it is not in Germany. If I am leaving my daughter for an extended amount of time I want to be in the "big show" getting my hands dirty saving lives. Learning and experiencing that. The initial shock has worn off for now and I am actually excited. Excited to be able to do this in my lifetime. Among the many things I have done and places I've been this has been one that I have been wanting to deep down inside. To do the job of a Corpsman in a theater. This will definitely be a high in my life and an accomplishment I will carry very close to my heart forever.
My reading slowed down quite a bit for a few days as I couldn't concentrate due to the news received. However, I did finish
Wolves of the Calla and went on to
Earthbound to finalize the Marsbound trilogy. Finished
Earthbound last night and now looking at my shelves for my next book.
Here is a little story I ran across about a Nevada lawmaker. Feel free to read it is skim it and know that people like these are our lawmakers, work in government and make lots of money because of your taxes.

Decided to pick up Bioshock: Inifinite and played it a bit Wednesday night. Pretty game and one I look forward to finishing. Haven't picked up a game in a few weeks and I felt like shooting something on Wednesday. Below is a trailer for a short film made by a few Docs on their stay at the Role 3 Hospital in Kandahar This is the place I hope to serve my time.
