On Weds. I head to Seattle.
Never been... but it is my first trip (not counting the Napa overnighter) with my girlfriend and I am really looking forward to it.
We may head up to Canada, too.
All I know is, I'm not planning anything and that rules.

Hey R,
Got back a few days ago to find a pile of work waiting on my desk. Maybe running away to become a 3rd World merc would have been less of a hassle...
I hope your own trip goes well. I was up in Seattle VERY briefly a week and a half ago, but barely managed to see the city... basically a 24 hour layover, and I was so dead tired I slept through most of it. That's what I get for having an all-nighter prior to flying in coach, middle of the aisle-style, eh?
Hope all goes well--enjoy Seattle and do go to Canada. Great place to visit, especially the western regions.

I suppose I should put some actual content in my update, so here goes:
I have a cat!
He's black, 8 years old and named "Boo."
This is news because I did not used to have a cat but wanted one and didn't want to try to raise a kitten since I live alone and work long hours....

phoebus:
Well, I don't want to get into how my leave is (though I have another week and a half of it left) because a fiasco this size requires a pretty big chunk of journal entry. Suffice to say that sometimes--just sometimes--work is more relaxing than time off...
Well over a month since I updated my journal. I haven't even been in #sgchat! That's how little free time I've had. :/
Oh well, I can see the end I think... I hope that's the light at the end of the tunnel and not another train.

Hopefully that light is just the reflection of a Guinness bottle.
And I hear you. It's getting tougher and tougher to spend time here, what with work, travel, and military-related nonsense.

Work is killing me. 
Slowly, but surely. 
So, I am taking a couple of days off. The girl and I are headed up to Napa to indulge in a bit of wine.

You know... I've spent the last year actively avoiding romantic contact. (Friends have even tried to set me up, and I escaped.) I've got so much baggage, I figgered it'd be a bad idea to get involved before I made some progress on sorting my shit out.
Over the last couple of weeks though, my plans have become utterly unravelled....

Heads on fire and drunken lights
Days devoured by hungry nights
In love's secret domain
This is mad love
This is mad love
In love's secret domain
Sweet tortures fly on mystery wings
Pure evil is when flowers sing
My heart
My heart is a rose
This is mad love, Oh
This is mad love
In love's secret domain
Give sanity a longer leash...

ThanX for the b-day wishes.. i'm really drunk right now so i will end this now.. later..
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
