Necrotic Obsession

At least I can say I've "quit" smoking more times than I've showed back up in this place. /sigh. Nice to see that some things stay the same as the world around me seems to be getting more and more stupid. I'd have come back sooner, but a sudden/tragic death in the family unfortunately has kept me from wanting to socialize with just about... everyone. Yay.

Rundown: Joined the military, returned with PTSD, a broken back (and bladder! woo.), and some good training. Something tells me I should've just stayed in the garage...

Has it really been 8 years? Fuck my life. I've missed this place.

Well shit, I was going to toss myself on the grill under the fresh meat section... but damn, I can't seem to locate anything tonight.

Manual labor + Walking with a cane = awesome-fun-good-times.

Hope everyone's staying out of trouble. I know I wasn't on [Thirsty] Thursday nights back in Turkey. What a tolerance I had back in the day...

Anyway, I'm going to cease/desist talking to myself here and go back to my computer systems.

i always talk to myself. best conversations i never had. welcome back. again.

Agreed. And cheers. I lived by myself the entire time I was in the service... 4 years in Europe, a combat tour though south-central Afghanistan, and finally Sin City. People often think OMFG, you were in VEGAS? How fun. ... eh, not so much. I like it quiet. ... -ish. So yeah. Got tired of killing people for a living -- so now I'm pretty much back to exactly where I was before I left... just more broken and better with computers/networks/stuff/cheese/42.

Sometimes I'm glad I don't record the conversations I [We?] have these days.

Bleh. I have peoples' scrap I.T. equipment (big-kids'-toys), a bad-ass hunter-cat who noms the hell out of gophers, and an up-and-coming garden. Because I actually have nothing better to do. Kinda nice in its own way. Might actually try to learn how to play the guitar I purchased 2 years ago to... ah well. One of these days.

Oi... back to work.

sounds pretty decent. my cats are badasses too, except they only hunt spiders and house centipedes. lol.

i do write books that no one reads, so i've got that going for me. sorry about your injuries. my brother was in the army for about 6 years, i think. now he's a civilian contractor with lockheed martin in afghanistan.

sometimes i have arguments with myself and lose. seriously, i actually lose. O.o

then you haven't had enough to drink. i always win.

Welcome back to the forum Albino and man, you have had a busy schedule while you were away – so sorry to hear about your tragedy and hope that things will get better (I am sure that it will now that you are in “familiar ground”!!:) I know how it feels to lose someone - lost my dear nephew a couple of years back!!
