I live the life of Paris Hilton
Just get me a T-Mobile sidekick and an annoying purse dog called Tinkerbell and we might be mistaken for twins, oh yeah, except minus the rolling around in the sand and filming music videos.. that's just not my style.
I for one will be semi-relieved when work starts on Tuesday followed by classes 2 weeks later. This summer has been highly unproductive in the way of real work, but I have upped my tolerance level for liquor, pimped out my MySpace profile several times, and generally managed to spend obscene amounts of hours on the computer. I am certain that this is how Paris lives her life.
I mean take a look at this picture. Carefree, full of life... I'm like the spitting image.
Moving on, I was struck at this moment by the large impact that MySpace has made in my life. I am in contact with practically everyone I have EVER met in my entire life. I mean, one click and we're in contact with the aid of a message box. What more could a full-time socialite like me need?
All of my friends are moving to Iraq, no joke. I mean like a good 1/5 of my list is over there right now serving our country in some capacity. Lee was in the PX (which is basically their version of Wal-Mart on the base) and he ran into a girl that was in our year at Vandy and in ROTC with him. She had just driven up to his post on a convoy. Then I was checking MySpace and another one of our friends is an air ranger at a nearby post. There is a very good possibility when Lee is leading convoys to that post, his friend is flying above him providing cover. A third friend is the #2 man for military intelligence in another nearby country. Lee pointed out on the phone yesterday that all three of them very nearly got kicked out of ROTC for drinking one night on a weekend field mission. It was like a big game back then.... we were all college kids, and I know they had no idea that one day ALL of them would be over in a real war at the same time. But if you want my opinion, these guys are amazing at what they do and had they been any other three in ROTC they probably would have been kicked out. But their commander recognized who the top four in the class would be by the time they graduated for leadership and skill (yup, you guessed it, the girl in the PX was one of them) and now they are over there (with no alcohol) and I feel strangely secure knowing this. Their competence level was always amazing to me back then and it's only gotten better over the years.
So that's my life.... thinking about bombs in Iraq or Sri Lanka, and living the life of a Hilton. Only one more weekend till I get back to the grind.
Peace out :)
