*sigh*

Its been a little bit since I brought you into my world for a brief look into my way of thinking. A lot has happened and a lot has yet to happen. Some of it as I said before I can't talk about, but my feelings and frustrations are not off limits. To help pass the time I've been doing two things at work other than my job; writing a story and writing songs. Last deployment I wrote just two songs and had ideas for many others that never made it to paper. One song was a lullaby for my daughter Rose, who wasn't even born at the time and will turn 3 in 12 days. The other was a song I wrote for my Wife, Heather. She like the song and liked for me to sing it from time to time but for some reason I wasn't happy with the way it turned out. So this deployment I thought long and hard about writing another song for her that I would feel good about. I did it, even used the voice notes feature on my iPhone to record a rough version of the song. I wrote 3 other songs as well. One about Beer and Whiskey, one about Country Nights and one about here called The Lonely Sheriff. The later MUST be prefaced with the statement; No I'm neither suicidal nor homicidal. I don't want to kill myself or anyone else.....its just a song about my frustrations put to paper. The song itself is symbolism three-fold: Me against the people I have to work with on a daily basis, Our FLS (flight line security) against the idiots at this base and the base as a whole against this country/world. It will have its own blog post because I'm apparently too stupid to figure out how to copy and paste it below here.

Another year older, June 7th I turned 29. Almost all the way through the 20s and then on to the 30s. A certain Tim McGraw song pops to mind right about now....."...In my next 30 years, I'm gonna have some fun...." Also a new milestone, halfway through the absolute worst deployment I have ever had to be on. Going to change jobs in about a month and do something different. Hopefully that will allow for time to go by much faster. By the time I get the hang of the new job, I'll be training my replacement to do the job and I'll be out of here. I have real dislike for the whole 3 beers a day at these transition points over here.....but 3 beers is better than no beers, I'll have to have my allowed fill.

Midway report card:

I've done what i can with what I've got, and tried to keep as many of my 'kids' out of trouble as much as possible. I may not have been all that successful, but we are still plugging along and no one has gone home for negative reasons yet............

B-

In another month or so I'll give you my, What I've Learned Being Stationed At *&^%$#$$%^, blog. I'll let you know just some of the things I've observed, some may shock you others not so much.

Until later........
