    Starting tomorrow, I'll be enjoying a year-long, all-inclusive vacation in the glamorous and exotic Afghanistan, courtesy of the U.S. Army. So if I suddenly stop posting for good, you'll know why.

    One of my good friends is in Afghanistan right now. Saw him graduate highschool and everything. I hate wars, but I love the soldiers who fight in them. Good luck, Japes, you're one in a billion.

    That's reassuring. I'd be scared if he were, say, two in a billion.

    Well you took all of the sentimentality out of what I said. Perhaps if I said "one in seven billion?" Meaning he's truly unique and there aren't six other Jungle Japes' on the planet? I said it cause I thought it would mean something more than one in a million.

    Thanks for the well wishes. I should have Internet access most of the time, so I'll be around.

    One of my good friends is in Afghanistan (or maybe Iraq) right now. Saw her graduate high school and everything. I hate wars, but I love the soldiers who fight in them. Good luck, Japes, you're one in seven or eight billion.

    JK, it's cool that you copy and pasted something I said. Why is it that everyone has to one up me? Eventually, I'll have the last word. Still, this isn't about me.

    In former Soviet Kyrgyzstan, bed sleeps on you. Stopped here waiting for a flight into Afghanistan, couldn't sleep a wink because people wouldn't shut up and we aren't allowed to turn off the lights in the tent. I've been reminded of all the wonderful aromas of deployment: sweaty men, port-a-johns, burning garbage, rancid water seeping out of the shower tent, etc.

    It's gonna be a long year.
