I have a lot of different disjointed thoughts is my head.  Not one of them complete, nor worth a write up of their own.  Oh well, here is some of the things running through my head today.

• I am tired of being expected to take a bullet for a bunch of people too cowardly to take one for themselves in defense of their own country.
• If you want us to leave, then let us!  Don’t say go home until the bullets start then beg for us to do your job and stop the fighting.
• I almost bought it the other night. If I have to go, I prefer to go down doing my job and not as the result of an accident!
• If I did medicine like maintenance fixes vehicles, there would be a lot more dead folks.
• I can finally see the light at the end of this deployment.
• If I am lucky, I’ll be home for my daughter’s birthday.
• I miss my family. I would really like to start living my life with them at some point.
• Why is it that I worry so much about other people’s perceptions? Why can’t I be the popular guy instead of the geek just once.
• It amazes me how people I thought were friends, or at the very least colleagues, can be that insulting and just not see beyond their own narcissism.
• Or is it the truth?  That scares me most.  Its a conscious process for me to avoid it and make sure I am doing right.
• I wish I didn’t have to worry about censoring myself here. OPSEC, personal, or otherwise.  Making this place private sort of defeats the purpose though.
• I wish I could share more of the pictures I have taken.
• Why can’t I find anything worthy of writing about?  It can’t be that boring here.  Maybe I am just tired.
• Wow! This post is really mediocre. I should just delete it.
