connection

lately i sat there and watched a couple of shows, oprah, glenn beck, o'reilly, president obama, etc...all talking about the ending of the war in 18 months, all troops home by end of twenty12.  wow, part of called the bluff, some of me pushed all in, but most of me just sat there...staring at the screen.

2 years

25 calendar months

2...3 birthdays i forget sometimes

2 christmas

2 thanksgiving

3 new years

742 days

all of that, all of it left over there.  good or bad?  perhaps both, mostly which though?

so much from toilet paper rolls on your head, nights in bunkers, hours in blood, laughter, tears, sorrow, joy, panic, happiness

two years plus of my life gone.  i often think of it like the torture device, the machine from princess bride...sucks your life away.  sure i am 29 but really i am 27 or perhaps even 37

with that said though, those two years are so much apart of me and is what connects me to so many

what to do...
