Gotta love the 2am blogs
Insomnia, fuck you and your existence in this universe. I did manage a short nap this afternoon after only sleeping for a whopping two hours last night. I had to wake up for an interview this morning at 8, which is too fuckin early for me to be doing anything productive. I managed to clean up nicely, but I'm sure...

hun, dont worry or stress about the army.... it is going to be something different from anything that you've ever done before. you will get annoyed with all the teenagers and probably one of the oldest ones there. but you'll have a blast and learn a lot. and in the end, put the uniform on proudly to show the world that you protect our freedoms. thank you for that!
So today I was thinking, now that I am not really paying for living or food expenses and banking all that I'm making, I'd like to take a trip before Nov. hits. And after thinking about it, I know too many people in California not to go there and see friends, so I have decided to head there.
I'm not 100% sure on the time...

Lets just face it. I'm your favorite.
I can hear the rumblings of thunder in the distance as I lay on my bed. Its nearly 1:00am and for once I am exhausted. My mind is still racing as always and I'm sure it will keep me from sleeping for another hour.
On my desk I started a countdown until I leave for basic. I ripped off the "114 days" sheet and tossed...

pretentious is doable, boring though...that is a serious malady.

be careful about the women that "love a man in uniform" they usually live right off post and will do anything to get you bent around the axle enough to marry them! Leeches. They are also the same ones that cheat on their husband when he gets deployed. I have seen it happen far too many times to my friends.
Good night world. I hope tomorrow brings a sign of things to come. I keep telling myself that every minute is a step closer to what I've always wanted. What that is, I don't know yet, but when I see it I'll know it.
For now, a warm bed and sweet dreams await this man.

Hope you slept well, and that whatever you seek is near.
So the blog I had spent twenty minutes on and poured myself into was mysterious lost as I hit the "Add Blog" button. Apparently the powers at be didn't want that bit of myself to be put on the webs. Sigh
I'll try again later.
I'll try again later.

Whoa, you spent twenty minutes on a blog? 
And... I'm back. So I was only down for a day thanks to a certain someone gifting me an account 
And now I'm at my place alone while the friends are out of town doing 4th of July things. Kind of nice to have the peace and quiet here and do what I wish when I wish it. I'll write more later but I didn't...

I couldn't sleep and was feeling rather down, so I thought I'd just let my fingers do the talking this morning. Enjoy and let me know what you think: whether or not I should keep going.

I was starting to work on a new project this morning when I found my thoughts dwelling on what a "hero" is.
It's been constantly changed and morphed through the decades to fit society's purpose for it. In the 40s and 50s, heroes were written and illustrated in comic books. Characters like Superman, Batman and Spiderman made their debut into the universe saving damsels and...

My own perception of heroism changed last year when I happened upon a documentary about African AIDS orphans who are raising their siblings. It is humbling to watch a chlild who would not be considered old enough to ride the subway alone in America sucessfully providing for their infant and toddler brothers and sisters.......

Erm... speaking of the 40s and 50s, what about the Second World War? I think that was pretty central to the idea of a 'hero' at that time. Reading Richard Yates you see there was considerable pressure to have a good 'war story' in order to come across as a 'hero'.
But I don't think heroes really exist in the grand sense you're talking about. It's a somewhat simplistic, broad-brush-stroke idea which is probably why it's so popular in comics. And even the Superheroes grew more flawed and complex over time. Hence, Spiderman; and Batman getiing darker (have you read 'Arkham Asylum 'by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean? - it's great). The world isn't as easy as good guys and bad.
I believe people can be heroic, at times, sure, but that's about it. Certainly not in John McClane. That kinda stuff seems a little suspect to me, like Clint Eastwood's reluctant hero in 'Gran Torino', some metaphor for America shrugging its shoulders and sighing, 'Well, alright, we don't wanna sought out all this mess the world's in but, well... someone has to....'

Something I just came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure its rough since I didn't edit it. Be kind.

Its funny how things can go instantaneously from okay to terrible.
The last week has been a bit crazy as some of you may have heard. On top of the family problems, work is becoming a big issue. There are some workplace issues that affecting me not only there but at home. Management is not treating me fairly and when I tried to go to...

it was a lot of fun. and to make my day even better, lesbians just moved into my house!
I was sitting in a coffee shop over the weekend, enjoying my thoughts and an extremely challenging crossword puzzle. After a while I was beginning to become frustrated with my lack of answers and took to scanning the room because I... am a people watcher. Not a stare-er minder you, but a watcher. There's a clear difference. A stare-er just... stares. He/she has no consideration...

I'm proud to state that I try my damnedest to buy things only because I like them, rather than for someone else. It's sad when people ruin my awesome glasses.
