The Iraq Diary: Getting back to my roots

Aug 01, 2007 23:35

I'm going to get back to the root of who I am:  A man who loves to write.

And I'm going to rediscover my love by revisiting an old journal.  The one I started the day I entered Iraq back in '03.  The writing is simple and easy.  I only had a chance to whip it out late at night as I was about to try and sleep.  At that point I was often exhausted and in some crappy cramped place.  Most of my writing won't make sense to you.  I just wanted to jot down a few triggers about images and feelings I didn't want to forget.

The journal was a simple black journal about eight-inches long and five-inches wide.  It was given to me by my wife because she knew it was just perfect.
