So Few Thoughts, So Many Words

So truthfully I have little to talk about tonight. I didn't work yesterday and today I did work but nothing of substance happened. (Aside from a lot of meaningless banter that tends to be the common filler in our thirteen hour day.) I corrupted a new guy on our shift today, so that’s fun. That sounds worse than it is; I just showed him that some of our rules are open for interpretation. Other wise all I really have to say is my life has become very boring. I work thirteen hour days three days straight, and then on my day off I sleep ridiculously late into the afternoon, head towards the dfac, and maybe stop by the MWR tent to browse the internet and play board games, rinse, and repeat if needed. So I think I have come up with a title for the novel I am attempting to write (read writing very slowly). I have just been referring to it as the untitled mess. After watching The Ice Harvest (another John Cusack film, I'm a huge fan.) I heard a quote that would make an amusing and catchy title. Billy Bob Thorton said "Pay no attention to the man in the trunk” And out of context I think it really sort of grabs at you. What do you think? You want to hear it in context? Well go watch the movie silly spoiled people. I can't give you everything on a silver platter you would never learn your manners... grin... Sometimes I wonder if anything I say makes any sense what so ever. And then I realize that it really doesn't matter as long as someone reads it...

Random uplifting news...

I don't know if I mentioned it but after I left Duke, I was under the impression that someone had appropriated my little game boy system (long story, but the long and short of it is I bought a Nintendo DS right before we left for Iraq and it turned up missing a week before I moved to Scania) well anyway, Some how one of my soldiers (who wasn't at Duke, ended up with it and gave it back to me the other day... This was very good news as now I can play video games at work instead of doing boring things like scanning the perimeter. Grin... I went to the PX yesterday and bought four new games for it. So the Joy....


PS. Smile Darn It... Life is too short to be so preoccupied with the things you can't change.
