SPF Relaxing!

Well I am doing todays Self Portrait Friday, and the theme for today is what you do to relax! Well, this might make me seem like a raging drunk, but I can assure you THIS IS STRICTLY NON ALCOHOLIC BEER! And quite honestly I have probably only had about 8 total N/A beers since I have been here, but this stuff is VERY popular for people over here! It kind of gives you the feeling that you are relaxed in your head, but believe me, it does NOT make your head hurt in the morning! I will admit when I first got to Kuwait, it was weird to see N/A beer in the same coolers at the chow hall as the sodas, but we are now used to it, and a lot of people steadily drink the stuff for lunch. I know Curt has at least 1 every night before he goes to bed. To each his own, but I really don't drink beer at home, and the taste is OK but it just is not my thing! I heard rumors they were going to get rid of Odouls at the chow hall for cost purposes, but you can get St. Pauli Girl's and Beck's N/A at the PX! Another weird thing here is that we can get loads of N/A beer, Red Bull, and soda at the chow hall, but then you go to the PX and they sell canned soda for .60, Red Bull for $15.00, and beer for $7.00 a 12 pack, and that is suppose to be a good deal, when you can get it for free? Not gonna do it! The only soda I drink here is Diet Pepsi and Diet 7 up.
I also was talking to 1 SG today, and I was telling him that I am a person that likes to develop a pattern to my schedule and KEEP it that way. So my schedule right now that everyone is gone is to some in early to the office at 7-7:30am when no one is here, and leave around 7-7:30pm. I then go to the room take a shower, play Gamecube NCAA football for 3 games, put in a movie for about a half hour then wake up, do my little work out routine and go up and do it all again, and that way I am,and am cmfortable that way! Of course when missions happen, or the schedule get SO out of wack, I am flexible, then I might as well just stay at work the whole 24 hrs.
Other than that have not seen anymore mice around the office, so maybe I got the only "day" mouse the other day! But we still have PLENTY of little teeny geckos crawling up and down the walls, and man, if your taking a duker, and one of those things startles you all bets are off for success!
Everyone have a great weekend, and enjoy the good life!
Later,
Erik
