boredom
i never know what to write on this thing...but i have nothing else to do so here i am.
ive changed quite a bit since coming here to Baghdad. im less angry at everyone and everything. i sleep better, in spite of the daily explosions and gunfire.
im eating better. ive gained 20lbs, mostly muscle. im working out in the gym 4 days a week (with a former defensive lineman from Oklahoma state), and when im not in the gym i do 500 push ups or 600 sit ups, depending on what i feel like doing (or what ISN'T sore from the gym).
ive lost that awkward feeling i usually have around people. self confidence is at an all-time high.
my sense of humor has warped a tad, most likely from hanging out with the Brits. theyre a bloody brilliant bunch of baffoons, and their accents floor me.
ive found, from spending so much time with my co-workers, that i identify with the older generations much better than i do with people my own age. i still enjoy being immature on occasion, but for the most part its nice to talk to people who dont turn everything i say into a sexual inuendo or a drinking reference.
i miss playing WoW. the more i hear about whats been going on while ive been gone, the more i want to play. even now, just thinking about playing when i get home makes me excited.
i miss the wifey. i talk to her at least once a day, but the distance is starting to wear on me. my time here is more than half over, 2/3 actually, but the time when i get to go home still seems so far away.
speaking of coming home; im having a huge 4-day-long party when i get back. loosely dubbing it "MITCH-A-PALOOZA," and its going to be a great amount of random fun with a greater amount of alcohol. as everyone knows, 6 months of not being able to have something makes you want it that much more.
im on AOL instant messenger most every single day from 11am to 4pm eastern time, so if the mood strikes, hit me up. im also on facebook and myspace, if those are your things...
ive run out of crap to type about.
