Insomnia

Wednesday, Mar. 05, 2008, 2:23 a.m.

It is 2AM, and I am still alive. Wide awake, as well. Have you noticed?

It's been ages since I've updated, I know, but the truth is that life has been keeping me busy. I feel like I'm getting swept along by some strange and dusty current. There are so many things I want to be able to put into words, but they're all jumbled together in one big sack of Is This My Life?

This deployment is now nearing its one-year mark. The end is in sight. After that, the Army will be kissing my ass goodbye. Life will be drastically changing. I will be Officially Single, the world will be at my fingertips, and The Man will have failed at getting me down.

But that doesn't mean I can sleep at night.

My days whiz by, and although I am productive, it all still seems worthless. It's exhausting without being rewarding. I'm not on the front lines, nor am I a blob, but I think the war would progress just fine without me, thankyouverymuch.

See, I can't even write anymore. My right brain has retired. Goddammit.

It will all be over soon. Let's keep the faith, shall we?
