Well the vacation is winding down to its conclusion. Tomorrow morning I fly back to Virginia to hop a military flight back to Cuba. I'll only be going back for a couple months, so that at least is ok.
things I got to do on my vacation (a report by Volkov)
1)got to hang out with my friends
2)got to see my cat. I missed the little brat
3) got to eat good food...and lotsa junk food
4) got to resolve things some with her
5) got to see my family (HAD to see my family in some cases)
6) danced
7)got a tattoo
8) bought a shitload of new movies and books and some new CD's
9) took photos
10) went to Austin and got drunker thanI have in a loooong time
11) hung out all night in a gay bar getting said drunk while best friend stalked the barback.
12) saw a firedancer...she's my friend..or she is now...we were acquaintances before
13) spent all of a beautiful afternoon at an outdoor coffeeshop in Austin while Howard read the new Neil Gaiman book, Coraline to us.
14) felt really nervous and kinda high...
15) cause I kissed a girl for the first time in almost 11 months. ok I know..I'm a loser...fuck off 8-P
16) got to drive my own car 87 mph on the highway
17) went and saw an opera in the park show...arias while sitting on a picnic blanket with grapes and hummus and pita bread and wine.
there was other stuff too, but I cannot think any more right now. I am waaaaaaaaaay hungover...just got back from Austin tonight. need to sleep but I don't want to sleep my last night of freedom away.
I can't wait to come home for good. but not really sure where home is. I haven't lived in the same place for longer than a few months in the last 4 years.
and much the same for the few years before that.
not even sure where I will end up. not sure I cares so much neither.
ok....gonna go buzzcut my head again in prep for returning to military life.

I already miss home. well not San Antonio so much...but the people. It is really two different sets of people I deal with.
and I wish you could have joined us too Faith. we woulda taken you to a firedancing show and the opera and everything. I know what you mean about wanting to leave your life behind...but as was pointed out in a slightly uh...altered state of mind type conversation betwixt Howard and myself...you can never really leave your life behind...cause it's always you and it's always your life....even sometimes after you die...just like you cannot really "be somebody else" you can only be yourself being somebody else. oh and the Springs rule the universe. I definitly remember that being decided on as well. :-9
love and slack and squalor and hope and joy and pain and all that
