19 years old from Denver, Colorado

November 8, 2005
 

His parents didn’t want him to enlist, but it was his passion for helping people that led L/Cpl. Jeremy Tamburello to the military. “He was a very noble, very compassionate, very brave man” said L/Cpl. Tamburello’s father, Kevin. “He knew that he was going to have to go to Iraq and he knew that he might die, but he went anyway.”

L/Cpl. Tamburello was killed by an IED while conducting combat operations near Rutbah, Iraq.

I will be on hiatus for the next week, so blogging will be light (if at all). I may put a few posts up, it just depends on my schedule and how much earlier than the girls I wake up over the next seven days.

Hope you folks have a safe, crime-free week!

It’s pretty sad when I just happen to stop in and post over here once a month whether I need to or not. I had a couple of crime stories I need to write about today but I just decided I needed to stop in here instead. No real reason for it. I don’t have any invective-filled rants or anything disgusting to post. Too fucking early for that anyway. Just getting ready for work work here shortly and I felt like rambling.
So ramble I will…
I start my ten day vacation on Monday and it’s much-needed and most likely almost as much-deserved. I’ve been working my as off as usual and am looking forward to the time off.
The last couple of summer vacations we’ve taken have been fairly busy. Last year of course was seven days spent at Disney World (which we returned to this April for a few days less) and was a week’s worth of 18 hour days. By day six I was so fucking exhausted that we decided to just leave a little early. None of that this vacation, although it will involve a little bit of driving.
Bright and early Monday morning we’re driving to Hilton Head where I’ve reserved a room (actually more of a suite) at a bed and breakfast on the south side of the Island. It’s about a five hour drive and then two days of fun not quite in the sun. According to the weather it’ll be stormy while we are there so me may end up doing more hanging out and shopping than actual beach time.
Wednesday the wife has to catch a cab for Savannah where she will fly back to Atlanta and then on to Texas to meet up with some blown-eyes. There girls and I are going to continue our adventure and head up into the Mountains. I’m taking them to the Cherokee Indian Reservation in NC for a couple of nights and then on to Gatlinburg and Chattanooga. I don’t have any definitive plans for those four days right now. Just mainly playing it by ear although I do have some ideas. We may stop in on a certain straight white guy and his lovely wife if they are around. They are pretty much on the way from Gatlinburg to Chattanooga and I would hate to bypass them without at least stopping in for a chat.
Well…there is more I need to catch up on here but it’s about ten of six and I need to be in the shower and leaving for work about ten minutes ago. Perhaps this afternoon I won’t be so neglectful and will stop back in.

Just a quick post before I go to work this morning because it’s not as if I’ve been overflowing with news updates the last couple of weeks…Hope everyone has a great Father’s Day. Since I was off yesterday the kids made me breakfast and my parents drove out here for supper. We’ve gotten used to changing holidays to whatever day I happen to be off.

Anyway, here are a few links to some not so nice dads out there. Someone should have thrown a little chlorine into the gene pool before they were conceived.

Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter aka Clark Rockefeller was found guilty a week ago of kidnapping his daughter and, oh by the way, may have murdered a couple in California back in the ’80s.

Joshua Sawyer and his wife Brandy basically beat to death his five-year-old daughter Carly.

Ricardo Luna of Austin, Texas kicked his two-year-old daughter in the face after an argument with his girlfriend, the douchebag.

Jesus Martinez pleaded guilty last week to punching his 7-month-old son in the belly which caused fatal injuries back in 2007.

Here’s to hoping that everyone has an uneventful and crime-free Father’s Day.
