on the tram. where i think.

some people have been telling me that army is life changing and a rather big thing. and so here i am feeling rather confused. i mean.. its just two years of physical training, toughening and growing up. yes.. i admit that it can be phyically and spiritually challenging. but i dont see the point of blowing up the whole matter.. as if it's the biggest event a young man can ever face in this testosterone-laden period of his life. its just ONE of the things that every male has to face. so if you still regard it as the biggest looming misfortune.. well fine.. it would be so for every 18 yr old male too. so much for a personal achievement i say. and i still know a handful who are trying every political method required to send them safely away in exile.

and for all i know.. i maybe be writing this to soothe my own unsettled self.

in the words of lieutenant kelly of the big red one..
"The lord is my shepherd.. the lord is my shephard.. the lord is my shephard...."
