Peter is with Jesus now
Peter Wagler 18 years and no more. His body was buried on his nineteenth birthday.

image


Back in August I posted the names of all of the US soldiers who died in the Iraq war up to that point. I was thinking about posting the rest of those who have died since then, but decided that no, I think the point was made. If you want to browse the names in the three journals they took up go here

Anyways I happened to come across this website after having a conversation with (e:jenks).
It has a list with pictures of men and women who have died while over there. (Over there is so far you can't even see it)

Here is an article by the Associated Press re: his death:

HUTCHINSON, Kan. - The family of a Kansas soldier who died in Iraq remembered him as "the most gracious young man."

Cpl. Peter Wagler and another soldier, both members of the Army's 4th Infantry Division, were killed Jan. 23 when a bomb exploded near a tank they were riding on patrol in Baghdad.

Peter Wagler was buried Friday on what would have been his 19th birthday.

"When he was a little kid, he butted heads with everyone in the family," said a sister, Rochelle, 29. "But when he got older, he became the most gracious young man."

Wagler, one of eight children, was home-schooled and studied nursing at Hutchinson Community College before he enlisted in the Army at age 17.

His father, David Wagler, said his son had dreamed of enlisting from the time he was 5 years old, but he allowed him to enlist only after hearing a Sunday school lesson on the prodigal son.

"We need to hold Peter with an open hand," he said.

He also read a letter his son had written, to be opened only after his death. He called it a "typical Peter letter."

"Well, you probably opened this because I died or because I'm involved with a girl you disapprove of," the opening line read.

More than 500 people, including an Army honor guard from Fort Riley, took part in a memorial service that lasted nearly two hours at the First Church of the Nazarene in Hutchinson.

Afterward, a long line of cars passed between two rows of large American flags held by a group of more than 150 motorcycle enthusiasts and others. The caravan proceeded to Partridge Cemetery, a few miles from the family's rural home, where Peter was buried with military honors.
"We will continue to miss Peter," said Vanya Wagler, a brother. "His absence leaves a big hole, but we rejoice because he's with Jesus."



Goodbye Peter. Say hello to Jesus for me. Tell him he was hot in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Here are some associated press quotes re Felipe Barbosa from Brazil. 21 Years old.

A Marine from North Carolina who became a U.S. citizen less than a year ago was killed in Iraq when the Humvee in which he was a passenger overturned, family members said.

Family members, including his wife, Christina, 19, gathered Monday in High Point to remember Barbosa, who was born in Brazil. She had last spoken with her husband Jan. 23 by cell phone.

"We just talked a minute; they were having a sandstorm and the phone was breaking up. He said he was doing fine. He had told me not to worry about him; he was going to come back home; he wasn't going to die," said Christina Barbosa, who was married to her husband for 18 months.

Barbosa, who became a U.S. citizen in February 2005, had joined the Marines on Dec. 31, 2002. His interest in the Marines dated to his years in Brazil, where his father and grandfather had served in the military, said his mother, Iraci Dunbar of Greensboro. The family moved here in 1994.

"He loved all human beings and he never wanted to hurt anybody," said Cpl. Felipe Barbosa's uncle, Dean Charlton.

"It is burned in my mind: The last time I walked with him, he said 'Don't worry about me. I'm walking with Jesus,"' Charlton said.

"He believed in the cause, but he knew there was a better way of doing things," Duarte said.

"Felipe was a follower of Christ with great distinction," said the Rev. Marcus Campbell, Barbosa's pastor at Conrad Memorial Baptist Church.

I'm going to try and not get political. I think that having a living memorial page is or can be a good idea. But that being said I'm not going to check it out. But what I wonder is what if someone dosn't want their family member on that page. It is a shame that we are losing so many troops over there. If you think they are losing there lives for a good cause is a point of debate. That being I think that most soliders know what they are singing up for. I do admit that in some cases they are misslead and think it is like a video game and are in overthere head. That being said I do support the troops and hope as many of them as possible come home safely. The only sad thing is that more people have died in this war then from the towers coming down them selves, hopefully this conflict will be over soon.

La esclavitud dura
You guys have no idea how glad I am not some illegal immigrant that has to take other people's shit all the time. Sometimes I do feel as if people treat me like I were "una mexicana ilegal". If you are an illegal you will work for anything and under such abuse. Thankfully I will not stand for it and thankfully, our market in Buffalo is not saturated with illegals that drag salaries down because they are terrified to lose their job. Not that I am against those illegals being here, but that is what happens and it is fucked up. It isn't the illegal person's fault, it is the jerks who employ them and only gives them a fraction of what they have to pay somebody else so they can take in ALL the profits. Illegals are slaves.

La esclavitud dura

Levanten se. Es la hora. Cuídense.

shoot! sorry i keep forgetting that comments doesn't accept accent marks. I try to use them when appropriately (even though i see errors in my poem with tu and tu with accent). I have to try and remember not to bother with them. It is my schooling that makes me want to put them in all the time even if they aren't always correct. I'm sure you will still be able to read my message oda.
libertad - 02/16/07 17:23
Querida mamacita oda,

El poema mío no tiene nada que ver con las dificultades que encuentro en mi propio trabajo. La persona que habla, o sea la ama de la casa sería mi jefe de verdad pero la limpiadora no es yo. El mensaje que quería transmiter es lo de cómo la limpiadora ilegal no tiene la libertad de salir no como yo (Libertad) Y eso es completamente en serio mi amor. Mi trabajo es duro pero afortunatamente no tengo que soportar con la mierda de otra, pues quízas un poco.




oda - 02/16/07 00:39
siento el dolor en tu poema. fue muy bien escrito. transmitiste bastante emocion.

si algun dia quieres hablar en serio del asunto de los imigrantes, me encantaria hablar contigo. creo que tendriamos mucho de que hablar.

ojala que tengas siempre bellaza y alegria en tu trabajo y en tu vida, mi hijito.
joshua - 02/14/07 10:49
Its a complicated issue, but first and foremost - illegal immigrants should not be here, and the reason why they do come is because businesses are willing to hire them illegally at minimum or sub-minimum wage. Another problem is that there are certain jobs that Americans simply don't/won't do - I visited fruit production facilities in Washington that almost certainly hire illegals to do the fruit picking. How many Americans, teens, young adults or otherwise, are willing to pick fruit 7 days a week, 90+ hours a week, for 10 weeks of the year? Illegals crossing the border is wrong, and the people who hire them are also wrong. Instituting a policy of punishing the businesses who break federal laws by hiring these people will go a long way to rectifying the situation.

This is why I think a guest worker program is incredibly important. We're not going to do mass deportations, in all honesty we need these folks to do what it is that they do - we have to handle the situation as realistically as possible while at the same time insisting that our immigration laws are enforced. The laws MUST be respected, and there is virtually no inclination by illegal immigrants to do so. America ain't a soup kitchen - I want, highly value and treasure legal immigration.
libertad - 02/13/07 19:49
I tried to delete the last comment because it is all screwed up cause i used accents. I can't get it to delete. I'll update the journal so it can be read if someone wanted to.
libertad - 02/13/07 19:45
i think there are varying forms of slavery, some being worse than others, but neither being a good thing. I don't think like most people so I wouldn't expect most people to have my views on the world. How much of "our land" constitutes what was once part of mexico?

I'm not a mexican woman, but I can think like one if I try.

I wrote a poem or something like that about it last night:

Quiero demostrar les a Uds. cómo limpiar una casa si fuera una ilegal. Hay que recordar que tú no eres nada. Vamos a imaginar que estamos en California.

Te pago

Disfrutaremos el aire tropical y las playas ricas. Será paraíso y también la fuerza del infierno. Imagínense

The thing is that we have to remember about illegal imagrants is that when most of your relatives first came to this country there was no such thing as being legal or illegal. The real problem is that often in captailism companies put profit before doing what is moraly responsable (in other words coporate greed). So people will hire illegals at a verry low wage. In some states illegals can get state aid but yet arn't paying taxes in. That is why places like California are trying to get everyone who is illegal documented on non driver ID's. Most jobs illegal aliens get are jobs Americans don't want anyways. However I'm sure that will change over time as more of them start getting into chains and big box stores (target, walmart and places like that). That being said there is no reason to harass someone who is an illegal alien. I think that there should be a way for them to get a Work Visa and once they get that then they would have to pay taxes and that would also help protect them from being underpaid and from dangers of not being a documented worker. Assuming this dosn't allready exsit I think there should be amensty Programs where illegals can go and it will help them with the legal steps to become legal. Sometimes it can be verry tough to become legal so I understand why sometimes people don't do it. They are still better off here then in mexico. I'm not even going to get into the chinese issue of people in chinesse food resturants or maybe even as ladies of the night.
jenks - 02/13/07 11:43
ok, I'm sorry if this rubs people the wrong way, but am I the only one that thinks the word "illegal" in "illegal immigrants" is important? I mean I'm sorry they're having a hard time, but I have a hard time having too much sympathy for people here illegally that don't pay taxes, and that take jobs from other (legal) citizens. Sorry if that makes me a heartless bitch.
museumchick - 02/13/07 09:21
I tend to think that more should be done to protect illegal immigrants in the workplace... but I know that's probably a controversial belief that no one would really agree with. Anyway, I'm sorry your work situation has been like that.
jason - 02/13/07 08:21
Actually I take it back, there is one other thing I agree with you about - the need to punish businesses that hire illegals.
jason - 02/13/07 08:16
I think it's awful that you have to deal with that crap. That's not fair. I disagree on everything else, especially the slaves comment.
oda - 02/12/07 23:28
i'm sorry that you're having a rough time, but i don't know how anyone could mistake you for a mexican woman.
kookcity2000 - 02/12/07 20:22
one of the dudes that works at the chinese place down by %%%%% & &&&&& is an illegal.
He's a pretty fun dude, I wonder how they pay/treat him.

Beastiality
I thought I had a cute new userpic until (e:mike) texted me saying "Your userpic kinda looks like you are doing something naughty to the rabbit."
Ok.

carolinian thinks it is a cat not a rabbit that I am blowing. Now I feel like this entire time you all have been laughing at my pic instead of thinking it was cute and mysterious. I'll change it again when I put Photoshop on the computer.

libertad

which reminds me of how a friend of mine in Cuba always used to say that he was going to fuck my rabbit. They have sex with animals there all the time and I swear, I am not joking. He was joking, but I am not joking. They love to have sex with pigs, horses and yes chickens. It is actually a fairly common conversation topic and not so taboo. The movie "Before Night Falls" never showed Reinaldo Arenas doing the nasty with beasts, but it should have.

What is going on with my posts lately? My mother could be disgusted with me for all I know.
libertad - 02/12/07 20:02
Tomorrow I have to instruct the class on how to do something. Maybe it should be on how to fuck a chicken.
jenks - 02/10/07 17:44
i guess coco kind of looks like a cat, but my angelic mind never thought you were doing anything dirty. It's super cute.

But how the hell do you fuck a chicken?? Bird sex confuses me, with the whole egg thing. I don't get it.
museumchick - 02/10/07 13:50
I never knew that about Cuba... I wonder why its so different there compared to here that way.

I always learn a lot of interesting things from reading your journal, and it makes me laugh.

-Jess
metalpeter - 02/10/07 13:12
I do know one other cuban then you and he claims to have had sex with animals I forget wich ones I think a pig sheep and not sure what else and that one of his relatives maybe his brother had sex with chickens and he sound serious and not joking around. The thing i heard was that he said on the farm you are lonely so that is what leads to it.

In terms of the pic I thought it was a rabit. I thought it looked like you where doing something dirty to it but really wasn't.
lilho - 02/10/07 12:41
and i think this is your best post yet! keep up the good work.
lilho - 02/10/07 12:39
haaaaa! it does. ummmm, i dont know what to say.
imk2 - 02/10/07 10:29
i never thought you were doing anything naughty to the cat (yes, i thought it was a cat too), but you do have a very evil look in that pic ;)
theecarey - 02/10/07 00:53
omg
i cant stop laughing..
'blowing the cat'..

carolinian - 02/09/07 23:31
I wouldn't say the original perception I had was "blowing the cat", but rather more like "eating pussy". The pic is cool, don't change it.

theecarey - 02/09/07 23:29
Journal titles from Cock Sucking Lips to Beastiality, gross and funny. People really do have sex with farm animals??

btw, I think your pic is cute, as it includes two adorable elements ;) naughtiness never crossed my mind and it often does! Besides, I dont think bobbing for bunnies is your thing :)

Cock sucking lips
I'm doing an experiment with image search. I wish that I could be able to see how many hits this particular journal would get as a result of my image file from a yahoo or google search. The search words are....

Cock sucking lips.


image

I searched yahoo for images with the phrase "cock sucking lips" and one photo appeared and my image or the one I stole from doing a search of yahoo, is far more interesting than the only photo that resulted from the search. Actually this journal really is to test if i can get to the site from searching for the name of the file under yahoo or google image search. It would be interesting to know how many people were searching for cock sucking lips and accidentally found this site though.

Update

I searched yahoo image for "cock sucking lips" the same old photo appeared not my tester. Then I searched google image and found they had 22 results for "cock sucking lips". I guess that says it. google is a better search engine. Doesn't google own yahoo or something? Maybe it will take time for my picture to appear under an image search? Or do pictures posted on estrip not register on image search?

Second Update

ok. This is annoying I just realized that the search I did had filtered results. You have to say your 18 to get to the nasty stuff. I thought I was all alone In having "cock sucking lips" now I am just one among 3,827. Those age things are so dumb. Obviously if you are searching "cock sucking lips" you are going to go ahead and say your are at least 18 to look at those "cock sucking lips".


metalpeter - 02/08/07 17:41
My understanding is that Yahoo used to have there searchs done by google not sure if they are any more. Sometimes when you search the safe search is on by default unless you change it. I also don't remember how it might be with quotes that you search for a spefic term. If you don't do that you will get every thing it finds for cock sucking and lips and I assume that would be lots. Pictures on estrip do wind up in searchs. I'm not sure if they go by file name or how they wind up be catgorised maybe it is by the site name not sure.
