what is the american dream!?

[enlopes]

Is it still alive and kicking out there? Is it different for everybody? Who really knows.... i think the american dream was just all about hope... people need hopes and dreams to function.... what's the point of even getting out of bed if we don't have any goals...be they short term or long term, attainable or unattainable.... i think the way it

what a speech..... lol yes america as we know it is evil, fat, greedy, money hungry little bastards. apparently you NEED money and lots of it to live comfortably. you NEED a nice car and a nice suit to 'look' professional, we NEED a nice car or brand name clothes to be cool or accepted..... well sugarplums.... we dont NEED any of this shit. thats right. its all shit. yes this shit that im referring to entertains us for a period of time till we get bored of it and we've had enough. but when is enough REALLY enough? when all you have left is your precious possesions and money? no friends, no family left b/c youve burned all those bridges trying to accomplish such an unreal dream by becoming or die trying to become 'comfortable' we americans have become accustomed to?? its pretty sad if you ask me. i lived in a small one bedroom apt. with my boyfriend, had no furniture, cept a fouton and a tv on the floor and our clothes in bags on the floor in the other room. i was completely content, happy with what i had and didnt want or crave more.

rambling is great!

good to see that you're still alive and kicking!

that's what i'm talking about...the younger generation is more aware of our parents faults and misled dreams....we've seen the folly of their ways and want no part of their self-destruction.....

if you've got love you really don't need anything else...

we went through the same thing...when we were kids our parents spent all this money on the "living room" (a room for guest....not our guest but their guest) so we weren't even allowed into that room...eventually (years later) we could go in there...but, where's all that precious furniture now? at a dump somewhere...

family care plan for your turtles...out fucking standing..

pardon me sir, but where have you been??

geez...i didn't realize that it has been so long since i posted here...
Our internet connection is gone, so when the internet cafe next door is working and the service isn't horrible i get on for about an hour to check email and drop a quick post or two on benrik...i've gotten hooked to the place... other than that, it's been relatively quiet and somewhat uneventful over here... how about you? how long until you head back to the real world?

haha. funny. i go on leave in 3 weeks! i cant wait! what about you?

[enlopes]

sweet...hope you get into all kinds of trouble and fun back home... it's a well deserved break...

i think january...maybe...i might not even bother until my contract is over (which is next june)...I'm playing it by ear at the moment, a co-worker leaves for vacatio soon, then when he gets back we have to wait for a replacement for another co-worker who's contract is almost up...but then there's also the base closure issue...so i'm really not going to bother with making any plans for now....

[enlopes]

Here's a hint (since you've got so much free time to figure it out)

I wanted to buy the 'crucifix' for my mom for christmas =P
