It is at this very minute 44 degrees outside. Now I really want to see a show of hands that didn't realize that it gets that cold in Baghdad IRAQ. I know I sure didn't expect it, but its here and I'm here freezin my toes off. I have been listening to this album here lately that has had me in a trance and it has put me to sleep the last 2 nights. Since I have been on this shift I haven't had a problem sleeping, nor have I had a problem getting up in time for work.
I talked to one of our guys in the IZ (international Zone IE Green Zone or whatever they call it on the news). He told me that every Thursday they have a few parties in the main palace. There are a lot of State Department workers from DC and all over working here as well. You would be surprised the amount of people and their various backgrounds and age groups. I saw a guy today that looked like one of my Gramps old roofing buddies. I mean Santa Clause with a biker jacket pure white hair and a full beard (he he). Not tryin to say you are old or anything Gramps, just an observation of relativity. I see some people here that look like they can barely walk on some days then I see some of the young men and women in the Army that look to young to even shave. I mean these girls and boys look like kids to me and I'm not that old. I pray for those the most, because they still have their lives a head of them and for the most part haven't experienced what this world has to offer, not much but there are some good things. Well I'm rambling so I'll leave you with this
A dream takes shape, but with no beginning
I awake to the blur of a new morning
A day begins, but there is no end in sight
A thought comes to mind, but I've forgotten it
As night falls it seems to all come together
I lay down to rest, eyes heavy from time
The cycle repeats and I am lost again
Lost in everyday life
Repetition sucks
LOL
