This is a mix I made for my good friend who has been called back to Iraq after already serving 1 1/2 years there. He and his wife are expecting a child, and he is going to miss the birth because of fucking military duty. Well, plus he's going to a freakin' place where he can get shot or blown up or something dumb like that. It is just a shitty situation in general, and I'm not very happy about it. I lost a cousin when the war first started and that sucked. I was happy when Brock made it back to the states alive. But now he has to go back, and that feeling of uncertainty is creeping back in. And this is just me, who doesn't have to strap on camo and pack around a gun. I'm sure he is feeling pretty wary himself. So I've compiled a mix of music that hopefully will help take his mind off of reality when he's sweating his ass off in the Middle East.

The mix starts out mellow enough, then works itself up into a temper-tantrum, and then cools off...but just a little bit. I used mostly songs that he likes, but threw in a couple songs I like in hopes that he will enjoy them as well.


NOTE: I in NO WAY agree with the conflict in Iraq, but you better fucking believe that I'm going to support those who are over there fighting.

Also, if you don't like the fact that there are some shitty bands on this mix, do me a favor: FUCK OFF! I didn't make this mix for you, I made it for Brock. And if he likes Disturbed, then so be it. He's the one putting his life on the line every day of his job. You just sit at your computer and feel all indie and shit. Congratufuckinglations.
