When life gives you lemmings......

Where did I leave the frickin' blender again?

November 17, 2007 2:35:47 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Okay, I'm not that clever, I stole it from a cartoon I saw at the bookstore.

I'm home on leave for a couple of weeks, so I'm kinda sorta blogging again. So I can get it all out of the way at once, Iraq. You wanna know what it's like? Go outside (you'll need a friend.) Find an overfilled portajohn and stand next to it. Get your friend to put a blowdrier in your face on high. Have him throw sand in your face occasionally. Periodically pick up 80 lb weights and put them down after a while. Have someone randomly set off firecrackers . Stop having sex for about six months at a time. Don't sleep. Ever. You won't know what Iraq's like, but you'll be getting closer.

In short, it's hot, mortars are LOUD (although they don't seem to do much else), and IEDs suck donkey balls. I've been back about a week. Traveled around Washington some, visited some friends. Knit two hats, one for me, and one for my wife. Went to the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. Played Stairway on the theremin. Yeah. That's right. A freakin' theremin. Link {Zepplin rules!} Haven't run an inch since I've been home.......sigh. Sex, sex, sex, and then more sex......contented sigh.

I'll write more later, I've got plenty of material. I'm just too tired now to be properly funny and such.

P.S. I learned to play guitar while I was over there. That's right, I'm absorbing your powers one by one. Dharma's knitting, Ted's guitar, Whip's nuclear flaming.....still workin' on that one. hmmmmmm.....Peace out. I'm taking a hot bath. (God, I missed those.)

Haha, you don't have to eat brains to absorb powers?

Glad you're home on leave. I have been wondering about you.

Good to see that you're still as normal as you ever were. Which isn't much, but that's okay, because if you were you wouldn't be you.

Keep being safe. Enjoy your leave, and happy belated Veteran's Day.

I was wondering where you were.  Will you please email me your mailing address over there so I can write you? I may even be able to send you a few knitting supplies - although I dunno if you're a Secret Knitter or not.  A lot of male knitter are SK's, they just can't seem to bring themselves to Knit In Public.  Myself, I KIP all the time....anyway, please drop me a line at dharmagirl69@gmail.com and I'll drop you a line or two in the desert.   Oh, and can you give me your wife's mailing address too?  I'd like to keep in touch with her as well.

I'm glad that you made it home in one piece.  Enjoy your rest.

Welcome back and please do enjoy the down time.  Hopefully you'll see a lot more of it in the not so distant future.

Glad to hear I'm doing my part by giving up some guitar skills to you. We gotta jam sometime! Enjoy your leave more than you are authorized!
