Sith Creed

But think of each night I am awake.

So today is the day... Technically... Been doing the final look through of all of my stuff that I am taking. I just came back from Bar at 316 and Marigny to get a beer or two in the system. I had to calm my nerves. I am extremely excited to be going on this trip. Kinda wish I could bring a friend or two. But this will be a great experience for me.
I will be safe and have tons of fun. (I had to throw that disclaimer in for all of my friends and family who would tell me to do so.)

On something that I forgot

Well I am sitting here waiting. Waiting to see if these boys want to go out and have a beer or two. I have already made up my mind that I will not stay up too late.  I don't want to miss my flight...

I am much more anxious and nervous. I really want a beer. *laughs*

A side I should take

Pendulum- Sounds of Life

This song is giving the motivation to explore Charlotte tonight. I just finished packing my luggage (don't want to procrastinate on that). As the days get closer to me hopping onto the plane and flying off on my adventure, my heart races me to excitement and anxiousness.

Most people ask me why I am going to Georgia. Most don't even know where in the world it is. I usually have to add "the country of" in front of it as to not confuse it with the U.S. Georgia. But my answer is mostly the same: I am going to visit with some of the Georgian Army soldiers I met while in Afghanistan. I am going as a way of saying "Thanks". Thanks for going somewhere to risk your lives helping the U.S. in a major fight. They didn't have to go there or be there. And I am glad they did. Their help made it possible for my unit's mission to be completed.

I met some wonderful people while there sitting up all night trying to find a way to communicate with someone who doesn't even speak English. Hand signals and broken sign language made this trip possible and I am grateful.

An action I should have sought

Well nothing exciting happened today. Kinda wish it did now that I have this running log of everything that is strange and wonderful that goes on in my life. But I guess you need the dull days to contrast with the downright amazing days. I could have gone out to Petra's Piano Bar tonight but what would that have yielded? More disappointment? More adventure? I guess I will never know.

I sit on a thought as I decide my fate

Well, I guess the best way to start this is by saying I got my passport in the mail today. It is going to be an awesome trip. My first stop will be Tbilisi, Georgia. From there I will pull a country out of a hat and go there. Of course, suggestions are necessary (almost required).
