I always tried to hide the fact that I was an athlete. I just wanted to be normal.
The situation in Iraq is dangerous but the regional situation is also very complicated and precarious.
A friend of mine, that I had known for some time, came up one day with an old guitar. I don't know where he got it, I don't know how long he'd had it, but he knew about two chords on it. He proceeded to teach them to me, and then we proceeded to go crazy over music.
