Bahrain is the Joint

October 1st, 2009

carlitos way

”When you’re in the joint you spend all your time dopin’ out who you’re gonna see the first day you’re out. The second day. The third. But then you get out, everybody’s got a different face than you remember. Maybe you do too. You pray for one face that didn’t change. One face that still knows you looks at you the same way it always did”

Carlito Brigante

I guess I must be in the joint because this is how I feel. Such a brilliant quote from the awesome Carlito’s Way. Looks like I may be here longer then I hoped as we have won some new work. Back to the desert I go.

6 weeks to go.
