I don't have the best handle on my schedule right now.  I'm supposed to have some idea on how to decode political doublespeak for Thursday.  My forum thread on the 120 pages I was supposed to read by... yesterday hasn't been posted.  I'll be up for a long while ( Read more... )

I suppose saying anything about the Army here is taboo.  No threats have been made, and I haven't been black-bagged.  All I should say is, I'm ready to get out.  Still a little under three years left.  Which means it's been a little over five years.  Looking back, things are about the same.  Frustrated, unproductive, and constant obstacles.  No ( Read more... )

Dreamt I was able to slide like in the mid-90s show to parallel Earths.  Had a daughter.  Not very enjoyable.  Might remember more throughout the day.

Drinking alone in my room.  Rare occasion.  Two of my bosses and I slipped into a bar half a block down and across the street for generously poured cocktails.  Best idea I've ever heard.  Also that was an hour and half ago and I'm unable to read between the lines and body language any longer.  But now I'm in the middle of realizing one of the ( Read more... )

Third grade or fourth grade.  It goes back that far.  My memory starts at the end and retraces the footsteps, such as many hungover mornings and the clues and word-of-mouth anecdotes that arise throughout the day.  My mom tells me a year later about a note she found in my pocket from a girl with the precociousness that girls usually have compared ( Read more... )

I don't drink as much as I talk about it.  I talk a big game, but in actuality, it never lives up to the hype.  Grinding away already at the bit of patience I have with my current situation.  All so drinking is permissible but I don't see it happening with the amount of catch-up I have to do in my classes.  Have to learn politics, history of Asia, ( Read more... )

At the end of the laundry cycle, pulling shirts off the shelf that I thought I'd never have to wear.  Some sort of function.  Closer to the end of the laundry cycle, the less apprehension you have to wearing certain clothing.  Such as my "No one is ugly at 2am" shirt.  Need to get new clothes.  Look like a hobo.  Days have been ushering in night ( Read more... )

I am buzzed right now.  But I've come across startling revelations.  Breaking news always has a way of creating this wave in my life.  I'm not actively involved in drama but it loves to meet me at the end.  la la la la la la la la la la la la... I am reading Brian Turner's "Here, Bullet" poetry book again and I am in awe of a soldier's capacity for ( Read more... )

Never have I been more compelled to write so regularly.  And without coercion.  Must be something in the water.  Which reminds me of a sewage test ran in several cities.  Seattle's has the highest caffeine rate in its sewage.  Comedy, I know.  Can't make this up.  Unless someone made it up and told me.  Still, I never made it up.  Telephone, guys ( Read more... )

Welcome to the house of cards that is my life. I invite anybody to breathe on it, close an adjacent door or you know, just think about shattering it. The effort needed to see it crumble is frighteningly small. My last entry was yesterday and I'm posting again within two weeks. Oh my god. Must HE have something to say, you might...say. Ugh.
