I love how the world is such a small place. I just ran into an old friend from my days back in Germany in the dining facility last night. The odds of parting ways with people years ago and thousands of miles away and then having something bring everyone back together again seem astronomical; it’s always something of a trip when it happens and it has happened a ton of times here.
Back to my friend that I ran into, something that we had in common was a thing for ice cream. I don’t think we ever talked about it but we’d be on a roadtrip somewhere and stop for gas and we’d both come out of the gas station with ice cream. It was just one of those things. Well we sat in the dining facility watching a baseball game and catching up on old times and for some reason I was attacking the ice cream bar like a girl who got dumped. I don’t know why but I really don’t eat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of soda anymore so when I do too much, I really notice it. It took awhile but finally my stomach got my brain’s attention and I said, “Dude, I think I’m gonna be sick.”
As much fun as it was to see my buddy again, it sucked because I spent most the night all hyped up on a sugar high playing on my computer and didn’t even go to sleep until well after midnight. And right now this sucks, I am so tired. I guess that’s why I’m just randomly rambling on about everything….I had a dog named Mikki once…haha.
Oh and in other news, I explained things to my Filipino “girlfriend” about how she really isn’t. Even over something as impersonal as Yahoo IM I felt a bit awkward. I don’t know why I’m such a wuss when it comes to stuff like that haha, ah well. And Keebler, sure you can have her email. While I’m at it, here’s my sister’s email...moron.
Already I find myself looking forward to my next R&R. I just want to hop in my truck and head to the mountains again. I love sleeping out under the stars and having a campfire, I can’t wait. All of that and the promise of an exciting shooting adventure with Ashlie, I’ve got a lot to look forward to. Can’t wait!

Meet Pete
- Pete
- About me. Loved and lost, loved and lost again, then I gave up and headed far east to seek my fortune. I haven’t found it just yet but I am hopeful and I can feel myself getting closer. On those especially lonely days and nights I dream of white picket fences or quaint stone walls but the closest I have come thus far is a fiercely loyal tuxedo tom-cat with a personality as noble as his name, Luciano. And as for this, well it is an exercise in boredom and a means to alleviate the cramps I get from too much writing by hand. I wish I were one of those people with an interesting hobby or amazing kids to write about, but until then, it’s all about a stray thought or random event and a moment spent trying to find the words to share it. As the demotivators calendar says, “Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.” Indeed. But without kingdoms to defend, mammoths to hunt, and villages to loot and pillage, what the hell else are we supposed to do? Life will get better and eventually I won’t have time for this, my fortune cookie said so
