So close, yet so far away...

WOW it really has been a long time. I didn't realize it has been almost two months since I last wrote something on here. What does that mean? Nothing really, just that I don't want to really bore you with stories of my hours and hours worth of watching seasons of TV shows I have missed and countless head shots on Call of Duty.

Korea has come to be a great learning experience for me. The first few months I learned how much I could miss my family and how much of a pussy I could be when it comes to sleeping next to the enemy (you know what I mean). Eventually that evolved into learning how to pass hours of time with only an internet connection and a large imagination.

I don't really get scared or nervous when I come up to work anymore. I still research the happenings in North/South Korean news but even the scary stuff doesn't seem to bother me anymore. Not really too sure what changed but I guess I just realized that if something was going to happen it would have already and if something does happen there really isn't anything I am going to be able to do about it.

I still have my lonely moments from time to time but they are fewer and further between then they used to be. Most of the time when that happens I either find someone around my barracks to bullshit with to take my mind off of it or I go outside and walk till I am cold enough to where I am thinking about getting warm more than being lonely.

A lot of it might also have to do with the fact that I am now only 6 days away to going home on my mid-tour. Yes, that's right, just a few more days and I will be back to my family and the life I left just 6 months ago. It does suck that it will only be for 3 weeks and then I have to return to the second place I have ever called Hell (I called Qatar Hell once, but little did I know there are much worse places than that).

But all I can do is enjoy the time I do have with my family and friends, count my blessings that I made it home in one piece, and start the countdown until my Hell is finally over and I can go back to the paradise that I miss so much...Home.

Until next time...
