A Cruel Monster Of A Storm
North Carolina is a dump... well the parts that I've seen anyway.
It wasn't just the approaching storm clouds of Hurrican Ophelia
Stretching out and wrapping her dark claws around the bus that took us back to base.
After going through a visual paradise in Cali, my eyes now scan the swamps, and the outback boonie town that is Jacksonville NC.
Everything here is dull and lifeless.
It reflects my mood being here back at this shitehole.
There is some measure of happiness returning and being close to home
But returning back to Camp Lejeune is what spoils everything.
This mood is only temporary however.
I had told myself I had reached a turning point when I was in Calli.
Even when my duties in Cali were over, I had discovered in myself a new sense of hope.
That even when I returned to Lejeune or if I was deployed to Iraq again
I would accept and bear it with my head high.
When we returned the base had just closed down due to weather conditions
They didn't have any rooms available to us, but fortuntly megamanxz allowed me to stay at his room.
Which who fortuntly has cable and internet access.
I've been online the last two days catching up with lj and myspace.
Everything in this damnable town is closed.
Even the chow hall isn't avaiable so I can get something to eat
Which has been one of the problems as of late.
Although I was fortunate to get a room, food has been hard to come by.
Haven't had much to eat since I've been back but I'm used to it now not eating for days.
The storm should pass by Friday.
My car is back home in GA
I'll need to get a ride to at least Augusta GA so my sis can pick me up
Juliana Theory is playing Saturday at the Masquerade in ATL
I DO NOT want to miss that.
Which reminds me I need to buy their new album which came out two days ago.
I'll try to head back out to Calli and to 29 Palms in a few months.
All that's here for me at Lejeune job wise is a lot of bullshit and probably another deployment to Iraq.
Although 29 Palms is out in the middle of the desert, I can resume my role playing duties, and take it easy for the rest of the time I'm in.
I can always come home for one or two weeks at a time every month or every other month.
I'll get a car out there if I have 2(probably wil) and the Dean family won't be too far away.
Ok... now time to comment on pple's journals. No work tomorrow so I got all the time in the world tonight.
