So the Arab guy that I wrote about earlier... Just got my hair cut by him. He did a pretty good job too. I felt like an ass when I walked into the barber shop and he was the only one open... Well as I sit there he cuts my hair. He was very careful and made sure everything was clean. His name is Adnan. I'll definitely be getting my haircut by him again. But it was awkward that I had those feelings that day at the mess hall... So yeah... anywho.
So I have 3 months left in country... I'm thinking about growing out a mustache. Whats your thoughts? I think if I stop shaving that area, by the time my tour is done... I should have a slight showing of mustache. But I dont know. Keeping it within regs is pretty tough... But its less I have to shave. You know what... I think I will. I'm going to stop shaving on my upper lip until I hit the US.
Today, actually just a few moments ago, I was eating lunch mess when an older Arab guy came and sat in front of me, not at the table I was at but at one next to mine. When I looked up and saw him, my appetite left. I mean I seriously felt ill. I dont know why... I have my thoughts but they cant be right.
I watched him eat for a few moments, my stomach churned. Then I noticed his hands shook. Not from fear but from the disease Multiple Sclerosis. At that moment I felt even worse. I wanted to get up and hug him. To give him the kiss of respect...
I feel like shit right now. This place is destroying me, mentally. I want to kill, and yet, I want to save these people.
What the fuck is happening to me?
So here I am. Brand spanking new to the site. Going home in 3 1/2 months. Cannot wait. I dont know what the first thing I will do when I finally make it home. Probably kiss the ground. Good ole American airport concrete. Maybe just pick up my bags and head to my barracks room. I dont know. My mom might or might not be there. Its along drive for her. So we'll see on that note.
But once I'm released unto the wilds of actual human existence... strippers beware, I'm coming for some dances. And the nearest Class Six (on post alcohol stores) will be empty! Thats what I really fucking miss, a good ole goddamned Jager Bomb.
Then I think I will hit up a club or two in Austin. Yeah thats what I'll do. Dance with some random girl for a couple of hours then go back to my hotel and sleep, or drink some more. Maybe I should sleep drink.
All that being said, I still have to go and buy land. And get a car that fucking works. Then I am going to buy me a wife. No I'm kidding, mail order brides are to expensive.
Anywho, I'ma end this now. Take care Children of the Night.
