ahhhhhhhh.  Chris is playing "Seasons" from the Singles sndtrck right now....i LOVE this song...Lord how I feel my life is as fucked up as a movie sometimes...I don't know, maybe fucked up is the wrong expression..maybe i'm looking for something to the tune of "restless" or "struggling" or "lost"...Sometimes I feel like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.  Like Holden in Catcher in the Rie...

But I didn't start this entry to ruminate about my lack of direction again...i don't have anything new to contribute in that vein...

Nothing too significant has happened since I last wrote...although things seem to be changing up a bit in the very near future...Supposedly my old unit is kicking me out of this room, since, technically, it's theirs.  Course my new unit has no room for me to go to...so, things will get interesting I think...I don't want to move.  I like where I live, I like not having to deal with all the baracks bullshit in my battalion.  I enjoy the cleaning duty schedule here as apposed to there...Grrrr... 

I'm to be a brigade color guard for CSM McFowler's (XVIII Airborne Corps) change over Wednesday...thankfully I am not to actually bear the colors--just a rifle.  It's an honor and all, but, even still...sometimes being high speed sucks.  Actually, it really shouldn't be all that bad--relatively quick and painless hopefully.  Monday we have a rehearsal. 

Article 32 hearing on Thursday...yay big fun.  I get to record and transcribe this one too...great, lots of fun.

Partied with Dan and Randy last night.  We went to Waffle House for some quick grub around 0100...I was planning on paying for us all with my credit card since they were both broke...

It actually wasn't all that embarrassing to run back to my car and count up my loose change when the cashier said cash only...We needed like $2.25 more...Maybe it's because this happened to me before down in Orlando when my credit card was declined at the hostel and I had to pay for at least one night since I made a reservation.

We came back to my room and commenced the drinking.  Leland had made the smart call of staying elsewhere last night so Dan and Randy both crashed here.  We got trashed, smoked cigars, I shaved my head, we all took various pictures.  I'd gotten a camera for the trip to Appomattox this weekend, then never went as I found out the drive was five hours...a bit further than I'd thought...Maybe I'll go next wknd as I have not much money to go the Keys w/ Dan and randy...

I got back the pictures Clemente took of me on one of the recent jump manifests (the one where a hydraulic line busted and drenched a few soldiers, forcing us to sratch the jump and land at Pope AFB).  Two of the three actually came out a bit of alright...They're at the office now and my scanner doesn't want to work right now anyway so...sometime later.  I started some work on the photo album section but haven't worked on that for a while--maybe next wknd I will do more if I do stay home...

I found out recently that the only saved copy I have of my story is an old version missing like two pages of material...so I rewrote that two pages and condensed it into about a 3/4 a page I think it is...

I am feeling rather lethargic right now--it must be the short sleep and the sun...We three amigos went to the pool to catch some rays and dive off the diving board a bunch of times...it was pretty good fun.  Good time to go--it's fricking hot and humid out here now...

Hmmm, yes...Staff Duty Thursday...sucked hard core...just like it did the time I did it last year sometime whenever the fuck it was.  SSG Briskie and I -- we ordered Pizza.  Tried something new and found out that Sausage and Onions is a DAMN good combination on a pizza :)

I'm making some coffee I think.  That'll help snap me out of this listlessness...I still gotta shine my boots, press my BDUs, and clean my latrine...but i have nothing further to discuss here...

gawdz I'm been making it far too much of a habit to end entries like that it seems...fuck me.
