As per the usual, it's been quite a while since I've been on here. Haven't had much to put up here lately. Found a couple things to upload, so I put them on here. I've been working on a novel that'll be published next year, so I've been kinda busy. Otherwise, it's just life as usual.

So, been a bit yet again. Though, I was in Tokyo on leave for a few weeks. That was pretty damn awesome. I'll have to make it back there some day. Things are still the same here, kinda. Still in the desert. Not exactly sure when the hell I'm getting back. I kinda still feel like I'm partially in Tokyo, phasing in and out a little bit. Detached, but it helps deal with the stress. It's all good, but I still can't wait to get out of here. That's all for now.

So, it's been a bit since my last one. I think I've added a few things since then, but I think I have run out of new things to post. I may write some more things here at some point, but anyone who knows me well enough knows that I usually have to have something happen in order to get me in a mood to write something. Well, poetry anyway. I haven't really written anything fiction-wise in a while either, though. Little disappointed about that. But I've got a lot of other things going on as well, so I don't have all that much time. Especially since I've got to spend a lot of time in the gym. I'd like to find some time to get back into doing these things, though I might have to wait until I get home.

And that's another thing I'm kinda worried about. I was talking to a buddy back home, who told me there isn't really anything going. So that tells me that back home, I'm not really missing anything while I'm away...which tells me that I really don't have anything to go back to. That is rather depressing. Sure, there's family and friends, but what of everything else? I've finished school. I have a job, but I really don't know if I really want to go back there. I'll have to find a different job. But, it just kinda sucks that it's seeming like I have nothing drawing me back home. I don't really know what to make of it.

So, it's been quite a while. Funny how many of my last few journal entries probably began with the same line, or something very similar. A bit of an update. I'm back in Iraq, for my second time now. I was introduced to this site when I was here the first time. I was much more active on it back then. Anyway, I've added a poem today, and I think I may add more. Going back and reading the things I've posted on here, and some that are in My Documents that I wrote a bit ago, I find myself wondering what state I was in, or just who I was, when I wrote these things. I have a hard time believing that some of it was me...even though I know that it was. I'm glad I'm still able to evoke strong feelings out of my own work though. It tells me I'm probably on the right path.

Not my biggest lapse of time between entries. Oh well. I let my subscription expire...a) they keep making it more and more money...I feel the tugging of a corporate whirlpool. 2) I don't use this enough anymore to really worry about shelling out useless dollars to remove ads, et. al. Some of the ads are really cool anyway. I stopped using this journal cuz I have a physical paper one, and the few people I did know on here are about as active as I am. Okay, maybe a little more so, but they aren't knocking down my IM to see my post something. Oh well, if I write something I want to share, I may still post it here.
