“My soul knows my meat is doing bad things, and is embarrassed. But my meat just keeps right on doing bad, dumb things.”
-kurt vonnegut (bluebird)today is halloween, the first of many holidays i am missing during my sabaticle from life (including but not limited to thanksgiving, christmas, new years, valentines day, sarahs birthday-the second in a row, the forth of july). it's almost surreal to think that these days that are normally perceived to be monumental, will be just another day of bullet dodging and rocket calling. the vast majority of my days i have no knowledge of what the date is let alone what day of the week it is. tomorrow is the first of november, i know that because that is the one month mark of me being overseas, also the day before my birthday. how strange, i'm missing my birthday as well.
for halloween i am going to be a happy solider with no contempt for his peers or this groundless crusade i'm part of.
