I've just made it fit my situation, here in Frushing. <BR/><BR/>I feel like I'm waiting for people to call me, to go and shoot their movies, but that I'm biding my time between jobs, wasting away, going a little crazy waiting for the call. <BR/><BR/>In the beginning of Apocalypse Now, there is a voice over, as Willard recounts his tale of going up the river to find Kurtz.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Saigon.<BR/><BR/>Shit.<BR/><BR/>I'm still only in Saigon.<BR/><BR/>Everytime I think I'm gonna wake up, back in the jungle.<BR/><BR/>When I was home after my first tour it was worse.<BR/><BR/>I'd wake up and there'd be nothing.<BR/><BR/>I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said yes to a divorce. <BR/><BR/>When I was here I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. <BR/><BR/>I'm here a week now, waiting for a mission. Getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger.<BR/><BR/>Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter.<BR/><BR/>Everyone gets everything he wants.<BR/><BR/>I wanted a mission.<BR/><BR/>And for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like roomservice.<BR/><BR/>It was a real choice mission. And when it was over. I'd never want another.<BR/><BR/>I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet.Mark Sasaharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826150844393678905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11337539.post-1133482282801616352005-12-01T19:11:00.000-05:002005-12-01T19:11:00.000-05:00Keep your head up, man.Keep your head up, man.Tricia in Kansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454979146821873915noreply@blogger.com
