Just a brief note to let anyone who cares to know that I ain't dead yet. But its a work in progress.
90 days and counting, plus or minus. Party at my place?

I suppose its about time to post a follow-up blog about my trip. Hmm...
So I took this trip on the 18th of June to the official Kuwaiti Mosque. There are hundreds of smaller mosques in the country, but this one was built by the government almost 20 years ago and is the largest in the country. It is also the seventh largest mosque in...

show'em. I wanna see'em.
I am pretty excited about the 18th. I don't really know exactly whats going on, but I know I get to leave this damned base for a few hours. I'll be going into the downtown Kuwait City area for a little MWR trip. Possibly to a local shopping mall... Maybe a mosque or two... Lots of photographs, but not of people, because its offensive. Hmm....

I'm glad you're getting out a little!! Hopefully it will help a bit with your sanity - I bet cabin fever is really making everyone nuts out there.

Mmmm, committed sex. It's tasty.
Just yesterday I rescued a mouse. I say rescued because it was in a situation very close to rat poison, and that sucks because he was a cute lil fucker. Anyway, he came running into the dining hall I work in, right through the front door, almost like he was asking for a plate and a seat at the table. I scooped him up in...

It's things like this that keep us sane, I think.
You're awesome.

Hello, all. I have been away from SG for a little while now. Busy at work and all that. But I have returneded, sort of. Not much has happened in my absence... Hmm... Where the hell is everyone?
So its time for a new random blog. And this one is random as all hell...
I had a dream last night. In the dream, I was wearing nothing but a towel while in a public shopping center. Oddly enough this was appropriate attire because the megastore that I was shopping in was some kind of Bed, Bath, and Beyond knock off. So there I...

Woooooow... this makes my dream about having pie with LittleFierceOne and his parents during some crazy attack seem normal.
Awesome.
Awesome.

Weird dream... I have some of my own, but it beats most of them.
Okay, time for a new random blog. But not really so random. Its actually something on the front of my mind, and has been for a few days now. And I don't post this trying to kid myself into thinking that someone reading it will have a solution for me. But the internet is a great place to vent, so here goes.

I'm so sorry - and you're right, there is no easy answer to this. It's these stories that piss me off to no end - people who are torn apart and made to go through stressful situations for nothing. Nobody is benefiting from this, and that is the tragedy.
I wish I could offer something more than my own anger at your situation, and the situations of so many like you. My dad was away all the time... I didn't get to know him until I was 7 because he was off doing things for the government - but at least he was doing something. I mean, I'm thankful that you're not in a hostile situation, but at the same time, it's rather silly to have you all there if it's doing nothing but causing frustration and temper flares. Frankly, I hope you guys don't see any action - I don't think any of you are mentally prepared for it, at this point. Particularly under the command of somebody you don't trust.
Not to extend this thinking too far into things I don't understand, but it seems like it makes sense that all the stupid shit going on over there - rape, abuse, etc - is going to happen with what a lot of you are exposed to. The waiting, I should think, makes people take it to extremes when something *does* happen. Not saying that you would do that, necessarily, or that the extremes are commonplace - I'm well aware of our skewed perceptions of what's going on, but it just seems to make psychological sense. There is a breaking point...
I hope you make it home, soon - for your sake, and your wife's. It's a situation I wouldn't wish on anybody, only having tasted a tiny portion of it...

I have had in my posession for many months two boxes of cookies made by the Hershey company. They are made to mimic Reese's peanut butter cups, but be hard cookies rather than just chocolate and peanut butter. I had two boxes. Two hours later, I have one. This one box will be gone in days. I am in Kuwait. The PX does not sell...

I'll trade ya for some platicones, yuca, and fish heads....
supernovice:
Well... Yuca is a whole lot like potatoes... So, just overcook a baked potatoe by like an additional eternity, and there you will experience Yuca.
And go say hi to Kay . She is one of the coolest people I have ever had the luck to encounter. She is not in Antarctica right now, so that's cool. But she is in Colorado, which is similar, but with a couple more citizens.
And thank you for un-equating me with G Dub. I'll take that as a compliment.

So word has come down the pike that my tour in the Middle East will be extended an extra three months. I now get to be away from home for fifteen months. Maybe, with a little luck, I'll be home in time for my 29th birthday.
Random post time...
I got bored. What does a guy do when he gets bored in Kuwait? Stuck on a U.S. military post with no way off? And 60 hours to kill until he needs to be back at work again? Well... He goes to the video "rental" shop and grabs the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. (I say "rental" because I...
