Dead Santa

I really wish it wasn’t Christmas Eve today. Everybody wanted to be anywhere but here and we had to work. The weather was shitty all day long until it finally broke out into rain around 2300 (that’s 1100 pm in the business). I took a few pictures of just some random shit. I kind of was trying to express my mood in the photographs but I don’t know if they came out that way. After we did our mission shit we all kinda hung out around camp hoping for a good dinner that ended up being just ‘ok’. Noah and Matt totally surprised me with presents. I got a 4 pack of Redbull from Matt and a trilobite fossil from Noah. I thought this was way cool. I think I want to get a big trilobite tattoo on my fucking neck. It was pretty cool but I ended up feeling like a turd because I didn’t get anyone shit. Those fuckers ambushed me. But thats cool and I’m lucky to have bros like that.

In the afternoon I probably drove people crazy while I tried to learn the solos to some Social D songs and everyone was just kinda floating in and out of the tent. After dinner Josh and I started talking about shit and before you know it everyone was joined in. We talked about movies and music and home and motorcycles and girls and funny stories about shit that happened when we were drunk or overseas or in training. Basically everything. Slowly all the dudes in the team crowded around Noah and my bunks and we were all engaged in a good team hang out. I turned on my space heater, it’s one of those space heaters that has like orange colored hot bars inside that blast out heat, we huddled around it like a fire in the ol’ fireplace while the tent shook in the wind and rain outside. Some dudes chose to get fucked up on vodka and whiskey and some baileys that we had in the tent. I broke out the guitar and played all the stupid little songs that I make on a day to day basis about our lives here. Like that spiderman song about Matt’s hygene and one about South Africa and lemme see.. one about no hot water in the showers, another one is about the way one dude drives.. one is about us wearing those gay-ass blue polo shirts, another one was about us not getting paid. So all the shitty stuff that happens around here like builds up in me and I vent into these stupid little songs and even though I totally suck everybody really seems to like ‘em. We were joking about how we should make a CD with all these songs about the shit that happens to us over here. So we fucked off, played music, laughed a lot, and in all it was pretty cool. This is the first time we’ve really done shit together as a group, usually dudes disappear into their caves after we get off work but I think the holiday made fellas feel like they wanted to hang out. It was fun and pretty cool. So we have an early run tomorrow, I;m missing home bad as fuck right this minute, and even though im starting to shake off the caffiene buzz from the redbulls (yeah i drank all 4 plus one more, it was my fucking gift so i was like ‘aw fuck it’) I still feel pretty good about things.. probably just going mental.
