  Too Much Living Space

  Even my apartment is too big for me. I don’t even use the bedroom that I have in my one bedroom apartment. Currently, it stores a few odds and ends that I have, including an old mattress that I need to eventually get rid of. I have my bed in…

  Afghanistan

  My Uncle is due back soon and recently sent my family an e-mail talking about his exit. My best friend just recently went over to Afghanistan. I sometimes wish I was a civilian contractor over there, laying networking cable, making some great money, and seeing what little of the area…

  Burnt Out

  I haven’t had a real vacation in over five years now, and I am definitely feeling the burn out, but on the flip side, I sometimes wish I could cash in my potential vacation for more money. I really don’t understand how I got myself into this situation. I would…

  Things I Hate Doing

  There are only a few things that I really hate doing, and here’s the ones I can think of off the top of my head: Washing Dishes – I have no problem putting away dishes, but I hate washing them by hand. Driving – I’ve previously discussed this, see Driving…
