Nothing new to note here, I'm just sitting here bored out of my mind. It's another typical night here at the Comm Help Desk in Korea. I definitely prefer these night shifts over the day shift. I was getting fed up with all the political bullshit during normal work hours here. At night I answer two, maybe three phone calls tops, especially on a Sunday.

While I sit here I can't help but think about what I'd be doing if I were back home in New Hampshire right now. My family just started a vacation on the beach back home, renting a house on the water for a week. That would have been a blast. My grandfather has supposedly been looking forward to it for months now, I'm sure everyone is glad it's finally here. If it weren't for these little mini trips to look forward to, I don't think my grandfather would last all that much longer. He's getting to be pretty old, over 80 now, and his mental awareness is starting to fade away.

The thing I miss most about the states is the freedom to go anywhere in a car just for the hell of it. I miss driving so very much, it was always a relaxing time for me. Now I'm caged up in this hell hole of a base in the middle of nowhere Korea. I guess I should be trying to get off the base more to see the sites and sounds around here, but the fact is I wouldn't know where to start and I'd probably get lost anyway. I think the lack of communication with the Korean people is the most negative reason I don't venture off base. I'm a shy person and I don't like talking with people until I know you. In the states I don't have to worry about talking to people, I just have to read the damn signs to figure something out, or to find my way somewhere.

8:45pm now - only 9 and a half hours to go. Soon as my coworker gets back I get a three hour lunch at least. I haven't decided if I'm going to go pass out or hit up some more World of Warcraft yet. I find myself becoming more and more addicted to the god forsaken game. Having a level 58 undead rogue, I'm just dying to hit 60 and own the world, haha. This is my first blog and I definitely didn't think I would be sharing my online gaming addiction with the world so soon. I have always tried to conceal my lack of a life because of my computer, but maybe it's time for me to bring it into focus and work on a solution to it.

I guess it all comes down to needing something better to do. I miss my last base in Florida so much. I made so many awesome friends there and enjoyed going out with them to clubs every night. Here I haven't met anyone I really find worth hanging out with, maybe I'm just being too shallow. I hope when I get to Italy I can start out on a better foot and fit in better with the crowd. I'd hate to go to Italy and be stuck in my room all day with nothing to do but sit on my computer. That would be a such a waste of a wonderful opportunity.

Anyway, that's enough about myself for one night. Time to sneak out for a quick smoke and then find something to watch on the myriad of channels we have here - all 8 of them.
