21 July 2005: The Worst Day of My Life

[rev_wayfarer]

I remember having a hard time focusing, what seemed like hours of tasks and seconds to do them. Beneath me was the road, black topped, six foot embankments dropping on either side, a canal to the north reeded and muddy, and farmland stretching everywhere else.

Out damned spot

Fuck, that blood-and-flesh smell is tough to get out of your nose in a 40-degree meat department. Can't imagine what it's like at 100+. Lady Macbeth's craziness is sounding all too sane.

Damn, man. So sorry to hear about Brown and the others. Our thoughts are with you guys. Glad you're getting out of there, even if it is to drink away the harsh reality of that desert before heading back in a few weeks.

I find your entries fascinating and whats more you have a piece of a u2 song in your profile, making reading your lj rather appealing. I was wondering if you would mind if I added you as a friend. I'm aware that you're away for the next month (Apologies for reading without permission. I always feel bad eavesdropping as it were...but I'm a curious mammal.) Anyway, just give me the go-ahead and your piousness will be added to my friends list. Enjoy your trip.

Thank you. You've managed to get it out better than I can.

I've not been hit that hard, thanks be to God, but the smell does linger.

Mind if I add you? I'm taking a hiatus from posting because I'm getting a little stupid, but I'm still reading.

Add me? sure I'll be happy to check out your journal as well, when I get to settling and such. Always helps to have friends.
