What a shit way to end a conversation�. Mostly I like �t�, mostly I wonder if he�s not just sometimes bored in Afghanistan. Mostly I don�t talk to him enough to know most of what I wonder about. So I don�t know why I assume he�s bored, when he�s mostly never around because he�s busy. Mostly its just text and nothing substantial that I can depend upon. Words, words are amazing, the power that they hold. I think he�s a nice guy fighting a war. I have no words for what I think and feel about it all.
I really am tired of having the majority of my conversations in life take place in text or over the phone lines. It�s growing thin. Fast.
