it's very gratifying when one has the opportunity, or rather the drive to get rid of their excess fat and replace it with muscle. my body is starting to bare a resemblance to something appealing; i am pleased with this angle of afghanistan. still i have little spots all over my body, up my side and spilling onto my stomach; however, now they are now no longer crimson, but rather faded and tan. i curse them every time i see them, i am fortunate that i can't see my backside.
i have been taking time out of my day to write reviews of my favorite fifteen favorite albums that were released in this past year. i listen to one of them all day and write about it, it is therapeutic. however, drawing has been my main medicine while in afghanistan. i try to sketch every day, it is very peaceful and calming for me.
i miss sarah more and more everyday, she makes my heart tender while i am here among nothing but eyesores and spirit snatchers. i am fortunate that i am able to talk to her frequently right now, in spite of the fact that it may not be the way things stand for the entire tour. every morning when i awake, the calender that is hung up under my eyelids counts off one more day until i am with my angel; who waits patiently for my return.
she is truly perfection, and despite the circumstances, i am blessed.
