Title: the sands of life....
Post by: Nicolas Tabar on July 06, 2005, 02:52:46 PM
I am not sure how to start or what to say even....  I have been having difficulties of late....  being accused of many things the least of which being that I am doing drugs... then finding out that I am getting sent to war....  lately I just feel as though life itself is slipping between My fingers....  and I havent been able to do much to grasp it again....  so I turn to My work... and overwhelm Myself...

I talk to few P/people anymore.... so I hope that none are offended by My lack of contact....  the only abuse that I inflict on Myserf.. is perhaps overworking Myself.... and I cant help that.... because it is the only escpae that I know right now....  that and not sleeping....

please do not think bad of Me for My apparent lack of respect and attendance....  I never meant to hurt A/anyone.. though there are times that it seems that is all that I can do....

To T/those that I have hurt... I am truly sorry and I will do what I am able to make it up when I have resolved these recent issues in My life....

to T/those that I have not... I can only hope that I have not destroyed the view of Me that Y/you may have once had....

Godspeed..

Post by: Nicolas Tabar on August 07, 2005, 10:10:25 PM
steps up to say a few words on things and the way life is right now...

Life in and of itself is a very crazy thing for Me right now... I havent been able to stay in touch with people that I would like to very much... but I am trying nonetheless...

I have found out news as far as My deployment....  My unit is no longer going as a unit....  We are being farmed out, unfortunately we arent going to be with people we know and have to go over with men and women that are new and have no clue as to who the hell we are... which means that We along with they have to learn who each other are...  which makes the job even more difficult...

the unit that I am going with if anyone would like to know so that they know who to look out for... is B. Co. 2-136 Mechanized Infantry unit.  I am going to be their NBC NCO.  They do not have one... and that is My job...  so I got sent to them...  but after My tour over there... I will be coming back to the unit here in where I live...

I do not like the fact that I am going with a unit that I do not know, because of the fact that I know the people in the unit that I am... and I really dont like the idea of having to learn again who people are...  but it is part of the job and it must be done...

on to the rest of the news though... and this is the hardest part, because of the pain that it will cause My F/family...  I have to leave in mid-late September.

P.S.  I am engaged to a very wonderful, outstanding, and beautiful young woman named Monkey...  at least that is the name that She uses all the time... and would rather not share Her real name at this time.... maybe later though...

Right now the only thing that I can ask is that E/everyone have faith/confidence that I am coming back, because I know that I am...  and I will see E/everyone as soon as I do...  until I have more time and more information to share... I will be around... Y/you have My contact information if Y/you would like to contact Me... feel free to do so..

turns and walks away silently...
Title: Re: the sands of life....
Post by: Taryn on August 08, 2005, 05:28:32 PM
~holds my arms out to you and Monkey, hugging both of you~

You already know my feelings on this whole thing, I wish it was different, but the military has throw a few nuts and bolts into the workings to see what happens... besides, gives me more time to corrupt Monkey while you are on tour ~evil grin~ I love you, and am here if and when you wish to chew my ear off, I always have been here, as you have been for me...

just so that E/everyone knows what I know.

I am deploying on October 1st to go to Fort Shelby MS. for train up, and then leaving again for at least 1 more year in country, I know that I am coming back, so be prepared for Me to pop up out of nowhere, to torment and harass once again...  be well, and stay safe A/all...

another update so that everyone knows what is happening... I am at Camp Shelby, MS. right now... training up... I have about 2 weeks off for christmas, and will be going to Albert Lea MN.  to visit My fiance, and her family for that time, then back out here to finish training up and then over to the big sandbox.... I will do the best that I can to stay in touch, and I will gladly welcome any letters that might happen to be blown My way... while I am away... as I travel I will do My best to update My snail mail address... so that T/those that wish to stay in touch may do so... thank Y/you all for hearing My words....

wakes up, looks around, and ralizing where I am, I get up and move to My desk and pick up a piece of paper, and qill, so that I can write a note to My F/family

so thing have been going all right out here, just working away, doing the things that I have to do, and I have been really busy lately, I cant give details becase of OPSEC, but I will do the best that I can to let E/everyone know what My status is, I know that when I do finally go overseas, there is going to be an 8 hour time difference to Minnestota, and all states within the Central Standard Time zone, so I surmise that A/all can do the necessary math to figure out the time difference to where Y/you are..  I do get to come home for christmas, though I am not sure if I will have access to the intenet while I am home, things on a more personal side are exremely confusing for Me, and I am realizing that if O/one truly loves S/someone or something that there will come a time when it becomes necessary to set T/them / it free, and if things are meant to work out then T/they / it will come back...

as much as it hurt, it is something that I am realizing is very true.

puts down the pen, folds the note, and steps outside My wagon to post it on the outside, for A/all to read if T/they wish

just a note to A/all, I am going to be home for the holidays... so I probably wont be posting... but, I am thinking about A/all, and will be seeing how things go back home, in order to better prepare Myself for My trip overseas.. until then talk to A/all later and be well.
Title: Re: the sands of life....
Post by: RAGNAR on December 20, 2005, 09:48:55 AM
Tal bro,

enjoy the Holidays and treasure the time you spend with family and friends.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Title: Re: the sands of life....
Post by: Nicolas Tabar on December 28, 2005, 03:43:56 PM
made it "home" for the holidays, things went quite the opposite of what I expected, what I thought was the beginning of a new family that would have been stable, fell apart I have another Son to be born April 28th...  supposedly the mother and I are able to be friends but I am not sure how well that is going to go.

her family still counts Me as one of T/them but I do not how much longer.

I think that the best thing for Me to do right now is to only think about Myself and My own happiness for a little while, been "living" too long concerning Myself with the happiness of O/others and I realize now that I can not continue to do so much longer, and still survive, I believe that there is a point when E/everyone has to think about their own happiness and put that before all else.  now is My time.

I will remain in contact as much as possible, not sure when I will be able to be in Camp for extended periods of time again, but will return as soon as possible.

I miss E/everyone, and hope that A/all have not forgotten Me, and A/all will still welcome Me when I return.

talk to you all later.

Post by: Amantha on December 28, 2005, 08:09:36 PM
This hits very much home with Me Brother, and I am sorry to hear of the falling apart of things at home.  Being a r/t Army wife and mother and having a husband that has served in Iraq for 15 months, I know the strain that can be placed on a relationship.  But I also know that you can find happiness, security, and complete trust in the right partner.  It just breaks my heart to have the breakup come in the middle of a grueling deploymet, where the last thing you need is to have instability.  So Please remember that there are people that LOVE you and keep your mind focused on completing the tour and coming home safely.
Title: Re: the sands of life....
Post by: Nicolas Tabar on January 01, 2006, 12:04:00 PM
Tal Brother Rags, I am starting to realize this more and more.. lol... though I have been thinking about things, and I think that I have two options for Me when I return from the desert... 

1.  give up everything here, sell all My posessions, and leave for Asia, joining a monastery and becoming a monk, the only problem with that..  I like sex too much.

2.  go to the doctor and get Myself snipped, and possibly sell one of the 'boys' for medical research, I would have some extra money, and if I decided to have any more 'additions' I could go get the snipping reversed..  and it would only take twice as much effort, but then I think that it would be twice as much fun...

Tal Sister Amantha,  I would like to start by saying, that You are very right, that was the last thing that I was looking forward too, but I suppose that there are times that things like that have to happen, it makes Me realizee that I have been living 26 years for everyone else.  now it is time for Me to live for Myself.

and I would also like to say that I thank E/everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and everything else...  it really means a lot knowing that there are P/people that will not forget, and that will love...  that makes what I am doing worth it...
Title: Re: the sands of life....
Post by: Lady Snickers on January 01, 2006, 02:39:14 PM
Bro You shall never be forgotten.  hell I still remember all the conversations We have had.  I know You are missed by many already Bro.  You just get over there and get things done and return to Your loved ones safe and sound.
Title: Re: the sands of life....
Post by: Nicolas Tabar on March 11, 2006, 12:26:45 PM
just a quick update, as I have the time, and finally managed to find a way to get around a slight security issue.

I will be leaving before the end of the month to go over seas.  I will be taking care of Myself the best that I can, and will make sure that when I go out, I wear more than My PT shoes, and a light coat of CLP, as I dont think that they would like that much, then again, as much as I would love to scream "for the Ubar" as I charge into battle, I dont think that they would like that very much either.

I hope to be able to stay in touch but I do not know how easily that will be accomplished, unless I manage to pass messages to others and have them post for Me.  W/we shall see though, thank you A/all once atgain for the prayers, they are needed....

Post by: silver on March 14, 2006, 08:54:15 AM
ok to those that wish His overseas addy drop me a pm. i found how it works*L*

if he dont get it to you first then i will give it to you. but nothing can be sent there till after the 1st of April. if you have his addy now, He thinks that if letters are sent they will be forwarded to Him over there. but if you wish to be sure it gets to him then either send it out quickly*L* or wait till Hes over seas.
He will be checking here im sure before he leaves.

and a special thank you from me to all those that have shown Him support. it means alot to Him and to me.*S*

---modified to add---

i will be coming around some soon....

This was posted by my Master on another board and He didnt have time to put it here as well so He asked me to move it here.....


not sure when the next time that I am going to be able to post is, so I am doing this now, today is Sunday the 26th of March.  We have much work to do around here, getting the last of things packed up and ready to go, if I am being given the correct timeline, we are leaving sometime very early tomorrow morning, or at the latest the morning after that.
 
I cant give exact times, or exact places that W/we are going, otherwise I would, all I can say is that it is danged early...  around the time that most of Y/you are still sleeping...
 
I am not scared, I am nervous, slightly jitery and completely and utterly out of sorts.  I am going to do My very best, I am going to watch My back, and My buddies backs.... I will be coming home in one piece....  and I definitely cant wait to talk to all of Y/you again.
 
This is not good bye, this is see you later, I hate saying good bye, because it sounds so permanent.
 
Until later...
 
remember I am good at what I do...  appear out of no where...

I remember all the times that He use to complain about being cold.  and I know that it is hard to deal with hon.  if you need someone to talk to I am here for I know what it is like.  it was hard to handle when My step-brother was over there.  and it was even harder for Me for I was only able to hear from Him in letters and also on yahoo.  what made it easier for Me to handle it all was not looking at how many days My step-brother had been gone, but looked at this way it was one day closer to when he was back home and safe and sound

hello everyone. sorry i havent posted in a while but....well....my Master is here with me. He has been here about a week now and will be going back over seas next week. He is home on a two week leave.
we have been busy trying to spend time together, getting to know each other a bit better in the short time we do have together.

Not sure if i will make it back on here before he leaves but i will try and not sure if he will make it to the board or not.

grins and runs back to be with Him....

He and i are both very happy to hear the words spoken about Him being home. Though it is short and He will be leaving Wed to return to the desert it was very nice to have this time with him.
Our lives have changed in good ways during His stay here with me.
i will do what i can to keep those that wish updates, updated on His status once He returns back to Iraq.
Title: Re: the sands of life....

Master Rags and dee thank you so much for showing your support and giving your heart felt words to Him at this time. they were much needed as He dreads going back over there.
Those that still wish to send things can send them here and they will be sent on. (security issues)

So, here I sit, still in the Big Sandbox, finally with a chance to get out here, and update everyone....

Hopefully this news finds most of Y/you all in good spirits....

latest news for Me is that I will be out here until some time in August.  I can not be more specific than that, and I am sure that there are many of Y/you that know exactly why that is.

I wish that I could be home sooner but I can't.

as it sits right now, I only have a few days that I will be able to access this, and then it goes away again.

I look forward to returning permanently, and being able to spend time with My family again....

if there are any questions please email Me at:

michael.trent.brooks@us.army.mil

thank you A/all

And see?  I told you Master Ubar would be happy to have you back. -winks- I'll put you on the pages again, with your military absence noted.

just so that everyone knows, I was not able to be in last night due to unforseen circumstances.  And I will not be there tonight, as I found out that I am leaving tonight to go back to where I have to go.  this is something that I do not like, and at the same time something that I can not control.  I am not sure when I will be able to be on again.  but rest assured that it will be as soon as possible.  until then, I hope that E/everyone is well, and that you are A/all able to keep your health together.

Be well A/all, and please stay in touch.

Dear Master,

jale started to read this, saw it began in 2005, thought oh goodness, this is an old, old post.  Stopped reading, then realized the last post was March of 2007.  She then re-read all the words she could.  Your girl does a wonderful job of keeping all updated.

Though our paths crossed seldom, due to jale not you, she remembers you in our Home.  Her heart began to beat faster and faster as she read your story of strength and courage. Your ups your downs and the honor with which you handled all. she read the well wishes of those from our Home who love you so much that jale could feel it as well....you can have no doubt about how others care about you.
 
jale has been praying for all the troops, from all the countries that are supporting the efforts in the fight to ward off terrorism...she will continue to do so, but with a much more personal note to add.  she wishes you safety, shade, cool water to drink, warmth from the cool nights an the knowledge that many, many people care about you in many different ways and we all have one thing in common that being....we can't wait to see you Home again. 

God bless you and those who serve.  Until next time, jale wishes you peace.

To jale and amore,

thank you for your warm wishes, and your warm words.  E/everyone back home I think about on a constant basis....  I will never forget, and I can only hope that I will still fit in when I return home for good.

I will make sure that I add you to My list of reasons that I am here.

Again, thank you both for your kind words, and be good, or at least good at it.....

Post by: ~*jale*~ {Lil} on March 05, 2007, 07:39:27 PM
Dear Master,

In regards to your fitting in when you return, I really can't see that as being a problem. Gor is like a soap opera....you stop watching for an enormous amount of time, but when you come back, only one day has passed.  You'll be just fine.  I look forward to serving you upon your return.

Oh, and Master, jale is always good....*sweet innocent look* ~wink~

Sleep safe.

And while I don't know when your b-day is, I hope it is a blessed one all the same!  (Yep, I'm telling you way in advance, but you're not likely to get the message on the day in question, if you're shipping home!)

just wanted to let A/all know that I havent around much due to the fact that I have been extremely busy packing up to come home.  W/we are still slated to leave next month to come home, and I have a trip that I have to take immediately after coming home I found out that My little sister is going to be a mother and she would like to see Me for the first time in about 8 years.  Along with that I have to find a new place to live in Minnesota, and work on getting into school, and getting My old job back with some enhancements.....  so I have a full plate, but just as soon as I can I will be making time to be with My true Family....

also, at the end of this month I am being moved to new barracks out here, which means that My access is going to go away, I will get online or at least make phone calls to those that I have numbers for that can relay messages to the Family for Me.

thank you all for your support and everything else that you have all done for Me...

Ok, so obviously I have been home for a while, and only just now taking the time to communicate with A/all of you.  I apologize for the lack of communication, things were weird for a while, and had to communicate through other people, but I have access to a computer for the time being.....  things have been very weird for Me to say the least.....

since I hhave been back, I have moved numerous times......  And I will be moving again soon.....  as soon as I have enough money....

I went back to work at the old job, and picked up a new job.....  I am trying to keep Myself working so that I dont have the time to get Myself into trouble.....  as I am good at getting Myself into trouble it seems.

when I have the money, I will be moving cross country again, because I have better opportunities out there....  than I do right now.

There are some that know the details of this.  and when I am ready I will share the details with the rest of Y/you.....  for now though, I need to keep some of My life to Myself so that no one else is hurt by the things that I am trying to do.  I want to try and reduce the number of people that I hurt, and if possible, I want to make sure that I am the only one that gets hurt by anything that I am doing....

Post by: Nicolas Tabar on December 09, 2007, 09:07:39 PM
Brother, Ubar, Mentor.....

I do the best that I can not to hurt MMyself, but I think that some of the things that have happened to Me since I have been back I have actually inflocted upon Myself because I somehow miss being hurt in some way.

I dont fully understand it, but I am trying.

At the same time I am reveling in My insanity, and trying to drag as many others along with me as I can.....

regardless, i am back after a fashion, and will be around when able....

Thank you A/all

Once again life decided to trick Me.  I thought that things were going to settle down, but they have only gotten worse.  I have entered Phase II of My management training at work, and am still doing the weekend warrior thing, as well as going to school.  needless to say time is a precious commodity that I do not seem to have enough of at this point, though I am trying to claw back to a place where I do, as it would be nice.

There are times that I think that I am barely able to breathe let alone do anything else, and those are rare at best.

I talked to Nic yesterday morning, and his exact words to me were... "The only time I get to spend time with my wife is when we are sleeping" Needless to say, between working 50-60 hours a week, going to school full time, and getting ready for deployment next year, he's not able to do much in between...

Rags, he has asked me to ask you to place him on LOA Military starting now, he thought he would be around more, but life wasn't going to work that way for him it seems..

He will always have tuchuk in his heart but he has decided its time to move on into real life and let this character go.  He has asked for those that wish to converse to please email him at tzimiscepheonix@gmail.com.  I will ask that we all continue in prayer for Nicolas and His new wife and their child that is to be born. that he will be able to do what he needs to and come home safely to them..
