It's the little things that really count

The big things in life that cause change are plain and simple, right in front of your face, and there is nothing you can do about them except for suck it up and embrace the changes. The little things now those are the types of things that drives a guy mad and makes a postal worker shoot everyone because they stopped putting two ply toilet paper in the bathroom. Now that same postal worker probably caught his wife cheating on him that morning with a Mogolian midget but, that he accepted. No it was the toilet paper that made him snap. Ok so this is my dillema, I smoke. I smoke like a locomotive in the 1800's I mean come on I'm in a warzone and it's just a little stressful so smoking helps. That is not my problem though, I don't mind having to walk a mile to the smoking area because the non-smoker Nazi's don't want me polluting their air. These things don't bother me, but what does bother me is walking into the PX and they dont have the ciggarrettes that I smoke. I mean come on people if the good old US of A can pay welfare out to non working non tax paying unemployed citizens the least they can do is make sure that Joe has Marlboro lights at the PX. Because nothing calms a guy down after getting blown up like the Marlboro man. You want to know what else is driving me a little close to the edge? OK in order to use your American appliances here in Iraq and Kuwait you need a power transformer, they sell these at the PX for prices around 39.99 -79.99 but thats not what drives me nuts because I don't mind shelling out the cash as long as it works, it's like paying too much for a cheap car but hey I guess if it works right? That's not the problem, the problem is that they all have a fuse that blows right after you start using the thing and guess what? They don't sell the freakin fuses at the PX! So now I have this box and no fuse for it. I think I am going to swear off electricity and become a cave man. Maybe I could get a job with GEICO doing commercials or something. Oh I know! I could stand in parking lots and let kids take pictures with a cave man for five bucks a piece! Watch out for the little things readers because one day they are going to run out of two ply toilet paper.
