Been awhile since I posted. Shit gets busy in the sandbox haha.
Did a bunch of planning. Checked a bunch of hotels. Time finally came when I could take leave, and I was told I HAVE to go home. Lame sauce to the maximum. So now I'm at home in silly ole Rochester, NY. Been fun so far though. Drinking with a few decent folks, meeting randoms and tomorrow I'm going skydiving.
I'm actually looking forward to heading back overseas. Maybe I'm just weird, but I feel more at home sitting in a turret, sweating my ass off in 130 degree weather in full battle rattle. But here, back in the states? It feels off to me. I go out and socialize, I stay home and hang out with my family. Nothing seems the same though. I miss waking up with an annoying ass bunk mate. Maybe I just don't have my own family yet. I've got no girlfriend, no kid...just a handful of terrible "friends" I drink with.
On a brighter note. Jack Daniels Green Label still taste so...god...damn..good.
OH I GOT A TATTOO.
I always said my first tattoo would be for my mom. She wrote out this quote, "Mother is the name of God on the lips and hearts of all children" for me in elvish. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. It felt weird as shit getting it though.
