Movies and books weren't entertaining enough so I decided to make up my own story and act it out with my real life.

I'm sure no one reads this anymore if anyone ever did since it's been 3 1/2 months since I last wrote. Now I'm at the Holiday Inn just off post enjoying a much deserved overnight pass for the first time. It's fabulous. I'll be leaving Ft. Leonard Wood in less than 2 weeks. I'm headed for Texas. I have no idea what it's going to be like. I have no idea when I might deploy. I'm nervous.

But I'm drinking so I'm thinking of the girl I still love. Man, I miss her sometimes. It doesn't hurt anymore though. Going through Basic Training and everything has given me a much healthier perspective on life. I don't get frustrated so easily anymore. I don't worry so much about what people are thinking either. I thought I didn't before, but man, I really don't now.

I can't even begin to explain the changes I've gone through. It's not just the Army either. It's lots of things over the last few years. Playing with my life, making my own nonsense of a reality. I am a walking contradiction. Everything about me is confusing and not just to everyone else. I can't wait to see my family. My dad will be there. Should be interesting. It's been so long.

Life is crazy. Or rather, life is what you make of it, and I don't like to be bored.
