I wish to walk with giants.
As I sit here riding the bus around Bagram Air Field, I see in the distance through the fence a line of mountains. I cannot help but notice that they are much smaller than the ones in Gardez, where I have spent the last three months of my tour in Afghanistan.

Pretentious cocks
Things that I hate: people who think that any arbitrary aspect of culture A is, by virtue of its association with culture A, superior to it's corresponding aspect from culture B--the latter usually being the individual's origin culture--because the individual likes something from culture A and has thus sworn his or her blind devotion to everything ( Read more... ) -
