Dreams

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
Harriet Tubman

Happy Tuesday All.

Every day that I wake up, I am chasing a dream. Yes I know I have a few goals that are a far distance away, but they are all obtainable in time. Right now, as all of my faithful followers know, I am chasing a few.

Some day, I will still open my bar. That dream will never diminish. I'm the type of person that likes to have fun. I like to throw parties, and I like to have fun. I think the hardest part about starting the bar will not be the not drinking in excess that I used to, but the fact that I would like to showcase some of my cooking. I don't want just "bar food". I would like to have a little something extra. I'm not talking about 3 Michelin stars here (maybe 2, but we'll see how that goes).

Another dream I have is to find someone that won't hold me back in chasing my dreams. I have done that way too many times (Shit, I would already be living in Florida if it wasn't for 1 of them). I don't regret a thing, because it has all made me a better person. I am happy with myself, and I have taken the time to realize how awesome I am. Full of myself, maybe..... but I know what I want!

I have learned from past experiences to chase one dream at a time, and the Army right now is it. However, This dream has almost come to a reality. I am extremely proud of myself, and I also thank everyone for their continued support. I know I say it a lot, but I really am grateful for all of my family and friends. Together, they all kick me in the ass, and tell me how it is. Sometimes I just need a little motivation.

Thank You All, and have a great Tuesday!

Weekend 7/27-7/29 2012

Well here we are again, Another fun filled week with another Monday! Get over it people, you know Monday had to come!!! Just kidding, 4 more wake-ups until the next weekend!

Well here was my exciting weekend.... Well at least some of it was exciting....

Friday- Work.... Then I went home and did my workout... I thought I was going to go to sleep early, but then I got a phone call saying our fishing trip was back on. SWEET!!! Went to the river, caught 2 fish, then I was tired so I left. Then I had a great idea to go to Walmart at 11pm on a Friday night. Going to be an empty store right? NOPE! $100 later and an hour spent in people of Walmart hell, I finally got home.

Saturday- Got up early to get my workout done. Then It was off to training camp. No, not training camp for me, we went to see the Washington Redskins. Good times, and definitely a learning experience for next time! I was burned out by the time we were done, so I went home and got some sleep.

Sunday- Up at the ass crack of dawn to get to the gym and weigh in. I now weigh 209lbs. Things are moving around great! My body hates me, but it'll get over it! After all of that, I went down to the old reserve unit, to talk to a few of the guys. I miss the old unit, and I can't wait to get back in. Then it was time to go home and do yard work. I finished all of this up before 11am. I was moving! After a nice cold shower it was off to the Moose Lodge for a little while, then home to sleep.

Like I said all, some parts were great, some were just relaxing. That's what a weekend should feel like!

I hope everyone has a great week!

206/90.6

Politics (Warning contains opinions and profanity)

Well Happy Friday All! Its here, almost time to relax for the weekend. I know I usually post my weekend plans on Friday's, but since I have nothing planned other then fishing tonight, and working out all weekend, here's a change of pace.

Usually I try to stay away from talking about politics on here, because of the shit storm it causes. However, some thing just need to be said. Please share your opinions, but remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Politics..... You all know that I basically don't choose a side, but i tend to lean slightly toward Republican views. I have my own views, and I don't need a political party to tell me how to vote or what to believe in. So here we go.

I want to know what the next President will do for our country, not what the other guy fucked up on 20 years ago. I don't care if he smoked pot or did drugs when he was in college. I want to know what he will do in the next 4 years. I didn't say 8 years, you get 1 term when you are elected, then we vote again. No 8 year plans, fix the country now.

That reminds me, when the hell do you stop blaming the previous President and start taking accountability for what you did or didn't do the last 4 years.

As far as the war goes, Bush didn't fucking start the war in Iraq. He wasn't fighting his daddy's war. He was retaliating for the 3000+ deaths from an act of terrorism. Maybe you ignorant shit brains have forgotten about 9/11. I haven't, and all of my brothers and sisters in the military know why we fight.

I want to know what the next president will do about ILLEGAL immigration... Go ahead, tell me that we were all immigrants at some point. While this is true, I know my fucking family did it legally (I have documentation to prove this). Quit living in the 1800's, there are a lot of things that have changed since them and you don't bring that stuff up (remember slavery?). All I'm saying is: Do it legally, or get the fuck out. Oops, did I just state my opinion? My bad....

Tell me what your plans are to help ME and MY COUNTRY. We are in one of the hardest economical times in our short history (Yes, it is short compared to other countries). I don't care if big business is failing. Maybe, its time to go back to Mom and Pop stores (even though I sure would miss Walmart). Why bail out car companies and banks? No cars, mean that people will start taking walks. I'm not saying to go back to the stone age, but maybe its time for people to hold on to a car for longer then 3 years. This in turn will also turn the economy. Why you ask? More money in your pocket because you won't have a car payment. Mechanics will be in higher demand, and maybe people will appreciate what they have, instead of saying fuck it I'm just going to get a new car. Industries will adapt, they always do. Our government should run themselves, not businesses. They have enough to worry about. Banks aren't going to go under. If they do for some strange reason, keep your money under your mattress. Cash is good, not evil.

OK, I'm tired of ranting. Please politicians, stick to the facts, some ignorant fucks may like to hear the mud slinging, but it does nothing for your credibility.

Everyone have a great weekend!!!!

203/79.6

Woooooooooo

Well its Thursday, and I have lost 3lbs in 36 hours. Now before you go and say how unhealthy this is, there are some underlying factors.

1) I weighed in during the evening on Tuesday
2) I weighed in on a scale I usually don't weigh on (Which should be close, but no 2 scales are the same).
3) Last but not least, I don't really care what people think.

Not too sound harsh, but working out twice a day hurts. However, Its what I NEED to do to pass. My future to bring new beginnings. That all being said, I hope everyone has a great day! One more till the weekend!!!!

"Baby Got Back"
By Sir Mix-a-Lot

[Intro]
Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. [scoff] She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, you know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
I mean, her butt, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie
I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

(LA face with Oakland booty)
Baby got back!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!

Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!

(Little in the middle but she got much back) [4x]

The Good, The Bad, and The Army

Happy Hump Day All!!!!!

Well went and paid a visit to the Army recruiter last night, and all went well for the most part. I still have to go to MEPs to take a physical but I've been studying for that one, so I should be fine. I have to do basic and AIT again which we also already knew. I am prepared for anything they throw at me. This is my future, and no matter what, I will succeed. I will be getting my old MOS back, and put back into the same platoon I ended with. I also may even be getting a bonus. That would be nice, but I count on nothing until its all in the paperwork. I'm moving along now, and things couldn't be better!

Now for the bad....

It seems in the last 14 years I have shrunk 2 inches. This is critical because it make my weight less than what I originally thought. Max weight for a 6' tall male is 200lbs. Max weight for a 5'10" is 189. Damn it.... I didn't want to go down to 185 until after basic. Oh well, you gotta do, what you gotta do. However, My body fat will still allow me to go in as long as I lose 1% (body fat max is 24%, I am currently at 25%, IF I was 6' I would be at 21%)......

I think I am more pissed that I have shrunk 2", than I am about being over the body fat. All I have to do is lose 1/2 an inch on my waist and I am a go. THIS IS TOTALLY DOABLE!!!! I go back Mid-August to be reevaluated. I just have to work up twice a day until I make it, so here's to no sleeping for a few weeks, and to working out more than I probably should. Where did the 2" go (Ladies, I think it went to my penis, so smile a little, LOL).

Life is great, maybe I'll somehow grow in the next few weeks to make this easier. I'm gonna work my ass off like always, and I will make it.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Day 200

Well its Tuesday all, and for some people this is just another day. For me, however, this is a milestone...

I haven't had a drink for 200 days.

As all my loyal readers know, some of my times on here in the last 200 days have been a little rocky. Also, as you all know, I have learned a lot in the last few months.

Without my family and a certain few friends, I would be nothing, and I thank you all for everything. From being there when I needed you, to just talk to, or to kick my ass into gear to do things that I have either been wanting to do, or needing to do.

Every day I wake up and I look around, the sky is always there and has some colors in it although not always blue. Somewhere there is a green piece of grass, letting you know that everything in the past is exactly that, the past. The present will set you up for the future, so there is no need to dwell on what will happen. Just focus on what is happening.

I have been working on myself for the last seven months. I have realized a lot of things. I now know that I am happy with myself, another person would be great in my life, but I had to realize this first. I know that I can accomplish ANYTHING I put my mind too. I don't need alcohol to make me realize anything, and I certainly don't need it to forget anything. Life is all about learning, and as long as you learn, there is nothing to regret.

I want to thank all of the people who said I couldn't accomplish what I wanted. Theres no way you could lose that amount of weight. Theres no way you could look like you did the first time you went to basic training. That was exactly the motivation I needed. So thank you, and Fuck you at the same time. Besides a few wrinkles, I weigh less now then when I went to basic the first time.

I have accomplished so much in life. I have a good job (hell of a drive, but its a sacrifice I have to make). I bought a house and have paid for it on my own before I was thirty. I have loved, I have lost, and I have learned. Not all women are going to screw you over, you just have to find the right one. Being cautious is OK, just don't let it interfere with everything else.

Things come and go. Family and true friends stay forever, no matter where you are. Love comes and goes. Its the natural order of things, and for once I am at peace with who I am.

Its never too late you do what you really want. If you aren't happy change it. I did, and I am back to being the old Sam.

Regret nothing, Its in the past.....

Weekend 7/20-7/22

Well here we are at Monday again. Welcome back to reality everyone!

Weekend was far too short, with a lot of work being done, but it had to be done, and I am glad I could help. Here we go....

Friday- After work (I left at 2), I picked up the lucky girl who had to spend the next 8 hours in the car with me. Well the trip ended up being about 10 hours, from Frederick to Pawleys Island, SC. We ran into a whole lot of traffic and a few horrible rain storms. There were even times when I couldn't see anything in front of the car, but we kept trucking. Made it there at 1am.

Saturday- Got up at 630am. Went and ran (bad idea). Then it was time to help dad move. There wasn't a lot of stuff to move, but it was all big and heavy. It didn't help that I knew that before I got there. There was no preparing myself for what was about to happen. I think the piano was the hardest. By-the-way, I now hate pianos.... I will never most another one again. We finished up at around 2pm, ate lunch, then it was time to relax a little. So..... We went to the beach. Fun times! The water was a little rough, but we all hung out there for a little then went to the pool. Another hour or so at the pool, then it was time to go back to Grandpas and eat some dinner. I don't think I have eaten that good in a long time. We were supposed to go out Saturday night, but it was decided that since we had to be up at 4am, some sleep would be a good idea. I passed out as soon as I hit the sheets.

Sunday- Man does 4am come early.... By the time we got on the road and the car filled up with gas it was 5am. Made it home with 3 stops total, in 8 hours.... Yes, I may have been driving a little fast, but I just wanted to get home. Did some laundry, watched Kung Foo Panda 2, then passed out for a nap at about 5:30 pm.

I want to thank my passenger for putting up with me for the whole weekend, and especially the 18 hours in the car. I hope I didn't annoy you too much!

Thanks to all that read this blog, Without readers there would be no reason for me to express all of my opinions and stories. I hope everyone has a great week!!!! After today, there's only 4 more days until the weekend!!!!

199/79.4

7-20 thru 7-22

Here we go again! Happy Friday all! Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?

My weekend consists of a lot of driving and a day of helping my parents out. Here's a break down of the weekend.

Friday- Work till 2pm. Then I go and pick up the poor unlucky soul that is stuck in the car with me for the next 9 hours. Sorry Sunshine, its gonna be a long ride! Bring ear plugs because I like to sing when I get tired, and I don't exactly do it quietly. I am hoping to arrive at my Grandfathers house by midnight. If not earlier.

Saturday- Get up at the ass crack of dawn and get a run in. Then the moving starts. I was lucky enough for Dad to save all of the heavy stuff for me and him to lift. This ought to be fun. Hopefully, we will have a little bit of sunshine left to hit up the beach for a few hours. Its calling for rain, but I will make the most of it. I haven't decided if I was going to sleep or not Saturday night because of how early we are leaving. I should probably get a few hours in.

Sunday- Get up and get moving. Leaving at 3am to beat the traffic. hoping on being home by one. Get home, do some laundry, then pass out. Sounds like a great Sunday.

Well that's my weekend in a nutshell. I'll be more specific after everything plays out. I'll just be happy to see some of my family again, since I don't get to see anyone very often anymore.

Have a great one all!!!!

196/79.4

Almost There

Another Thursday is here!!!

My corn hole boards came yesterday! I'm excited. Every so often I have to buy myself presents. Why, you may ask....

Because I Can.... Do I need a better reason?

The picture is a little blurry, but you get the point!

I love them, and I can't wait to use them.... I still haven't figured out how to fit them in the car for vacation yet....

Hope everyone has a great day! I know mine will be!!!

195/79.6

Goodfellas

Well Its Hump Day all! so have a happy one and get too Humping!!!!

Now you may have noticed the name of this blog. Great movie, huh? Well that's not what this blog is about. Its about the recent influx of Facebook and Google+ posts that I have noticed that say that ALL men suck, that there aren't any good men out there, and that all men are assholes.

*NEWSFLASH*

There are good men out there. Ask all of these women who say that they have the greatest husband, boyfriend, or lover in the world. Also, not all the good men are gay.

Now I won't deny that some of us are assholes. Some guys are only out there to get in your pants, and I am sorry that you have been shitted on by so many. However, some of us still know how to treat a woman. For Example, A real man will hold the door open for you, tell you that you are pretty (beautiful, hot, etc) for no specific reason, and will be in a relationship for reasons other than sex. Now it is true that sex is a big factor in a relationship, but it shouldn't be the basis of one. Now people that don't know me are probably saying that the guy that writing this is some overweight computer geek that can't get a woman. NOT TRUE. Think what you want.

Women, now I'm not saying all, but there are a lot of them, do the same thing as guys do. They are only after the "Bad Boys". Well hello ladies, you get what you are looking for. Sorry, truth sucks.

I know how to treat a woman. It was how I was brought up. Men (and I use that term loosely), keep treating your women like crap, and I know a few people that still know how to treat a woman, and will pick up the pieces and make them feel like there are good guys still out there.

Anyway, in conclusion, ladies keep looking, we are out there, and we know how to treat a woman. Give a good guy a chance, and you won't be disappointed. Keep looking, we still have values.

I hope everyone enjoys their day!

194/79.4

Process

Well..... We all got through another Monday! How do you feel?

Yesterday, I started the real process of going back into the Army. I received some great news, but I won't share that until it is put in my contract. Looks like my ship date can be anywhere from September to January. That's OK though, it helps me just lose more weight before I go. I'm going to be looking like a PT stud BEFORE I get back in. This will help a lot, because the last time I went to basic training I was out of shape, young, and dumb. Never would of thought then I would be going through this whole process again, but it should be a lot easier now, because I know what to expect.

When I leave I won't have access to a computer, so the blog will be idle for some time (4-6 months), but hopefully you all will come back and read once I get back. Also, letter would be nice while I am away, because basic gets a little lonely when you are all alone with fifty other people.

Hope everyone has a great day! I know I will!!!!

Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man Lyrics 

Translation in progress. Please wait...

(Gary Rossington - Ronnie VanZant)

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah!
Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.
(Chorus)
And be a simple, kind of man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold
All that you need, is in your soul,
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else.
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Baby be a simple, be a simple man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.

Party Time

Well Happy Monday All!!!!

Here it is a recap to the past weekends events! Had an awesome one. I hope yours was as good as mine!

Friday- Work then went home to relax before the big Saturday I was expecting to have. I was supposed to go see Fuel, but I couldn't get anyone to go with me. It was for the best, because I really needed the rest.

Saturday- Started off by cleaning the house. Went and picked up my boy in Frederick, then it was off to Bike week in Gettysburg. I was wrong on the price of admission. It was $5 instead of $1. It was worth every penny. We set up the tent and the cornhole, then all of my friends started showing up. We partied all day. Saw some great bands (Sir Psycho's last show, and Reckoning rocked as always). If you have never seen Reckoning, I would suggest you do so! At about 7:30pm, The stripper pole competition started. Awesome time. 8pm, Reckoning went on stage and after their first set, it was time for the Wet-T shirt competition. I had front row seats and got some great pictures. Next year, I'll pay to be a judge. We ended up leaving at a little past 12:30, and i got home at 2am.

Sunday- Got up at around 9:30 and went to the gym to weigh in.... I gained 1.6lbs.... I was sort of expecting it because I was horrible on my diet, and failed to work out a couple of days. Its OK though because it just means that this week, I have to go hard core on the diet, and work out twice as hard. I have decided that instead of going to the 200 I was originally wanting, I will go down to 185. I haven't been that light since high school. That makes 2 goals for me. The original goal of 200lbs, plus the additional one of 185. I will still sign up for the army at 200, so basic SHOULD take care of the additional weight. After weigh in, I went home and did some house work. Later at night I finally watched "The girl with the Dragon Tattoo". When I originally heard of the movie, I though it was a chick flick. After hearing all of my friends talk about it, I decided it was time for me to watch it. I was totally wrong on it being a chick flick. Movie was pretty good, but its definitely not a kids movie.

Well that's my weekend condensed into three paragraphs. Have a great week everyone!

192/79.4

Lies

Happy Friday Everyone! Well today is going to be a short one, but I just wanted to start off be saying that theres going to be a big party tomorrow at the Iron Horse in Gettysburg, Pa during bike Week! 7 bands, BYOB, and of course a wet t-shirt contest.

OK, so as i hear there are a few rumors being spread about me. They are just rumors, and I don't know who is spreading them, but I have an idea. The more and more I think about them, the funnier they get. Here they are in no particular order.

1) I have 4 kids by 3 different women.....  I think I would know if I had any children. If you know something I don't know please tell me.

2) I have more STD's then they have names for.... Really? How is this possible? I get tested frequently, and I hate the Q-Tip in the pee hole test. I have nothing. Any future sexual activity is safe.

3) My current Girlfriend is pregnant.... First of all, I don't have a current girlfriend, as we all know from my posts. Second of all, I really don't think I can get my hand pregnant.

4) I am only going back into the Army because I can't succeed at anything else.... I am going back into the reserves, because I have succeeded at something else....


Well that's all I have heard lately (Last Night). I guess if you don't have haters, you have never really stood for anything! Have a great weekend all!

189/80.8

WHY?

Happy Thursday All! For all of my friends and readers on G+ Happy #GingerThursday Its my favorite day of the week, that isn't a day off. All of my readers who aren't on G+, check it out and you will see what I mean!!!

Now I have been pondering some things for quite some time, and maybe someone can give me a straight answer. Why do people live with so much drama? Why do people lie?

I have chosen to live my life with little to no drama. Yes its true, stress happens, but stress is not drama. Now don't get me wrong, People occasionally piss me off, but I handle then and there. Ask my real friends who interact with me on a day to day basis. You give me a straight answer, and I will do the same. Whether you like it or not, I'm going to give you my honest opinion.

Every night when I go to bed, I want to go to bed thinking that I can die, and I did everything in my power to accomplish everything I could, and let everyone know how I feel about them. If I don't like you, guess what, I'll tell you. I'm not some shallow asshole, I'm truthful. I sleep pretty damn good at night because I don't tolerate Bull Shit!

Well that all being said, clear your mind and your body will follow. Drama isn't a necessary part of life. Don't put things off that you can get done today. Last but not least, make sure the people you care about and love, know that before you go to bed at night!

Everyone have a great day!

188/80.8

Woo Haaa

Well today I am ecstatic that its Hump Day! That means that Its half way too my extremely eventful weekend! Not too much to write today, but like always, short words means its song day, and we haven't had one of those in a while..... This song goes out to a few of my ex's. Lol, just kidding (or am I). Well its not like any of them read this blog anyway!

Satisfied
By Aranda

I no I never wanna see you smile
And I never wanna see you satisfied

If the sun came up tomorrow
And you lived in a perfect place
That just wouldn't be good enough for you
You could have a happy family, money,
And the perfect face
But that wouldn't be good enough for you
Enough for you
And I no I never wanna see you smile
And I never wanna see you satisfied
On a Sunday morning never moving on

I no I never wanna see you die
But I never wanna see you satisfied
Are you satisfied

Are you satisfied how it came and went
Satisfied when I pay your rent
Will you ever regret all the things you said
Satisfied oh
I crashed and burned a thousand times
Just to be your friend
But you gave me nothing in return
You played on my obsession for ya
Until the bitter end
I can't believe I got what you deserved
What you deserve

I no I never wanna see you smile
And I never wanna see you satisfied
Are you satisfied

Are you satisfied how it came and went
Satisfied when I pay your rent
Will you ever regret all the things you said
Are you satisfied oh
Are you satisfied in another man's bed
Satisfied you left me all but dead
How dare you ever deny all the things I did
Satisfied ahhh
Ohhh

I no I never wanna see you die
But I never wanna see you satisfied...

We Like To Party

Happy Tuesday All! See you can get through another Monday, It wasn't that hard was it?

Well here's the thing, in the last few months I have grown up a lot. I have been on my health nut kick, which has enabled me to lose 81lbs so far (87 since my fatest point). I haven't had a drink in 186 days, which still isn't any easier to do then it was day 1, and Finally we all know I have decided to go back into the Army.

No matter what though, I can't resist a good party with a bunch of good friends!

So this weekend, I would like to see as many of you out as possible. Here are the weekend plans so that you can plan accordingly:

Friday- 10pm, Fuel is playing a concert at Hollywood Casino, in Charles Town, West Virginia. Guess What! ITS FREE TO GET IN!!!! Its also the first show back with the original lead singer.

Saturday- 1pm, All day concert at the Iron Horse Repair shop in Gettysburg Pa. Its bike week people come on out. 7 bands, including Sir Psycho, and my personal favorite Reckoning. Its a dollar to get in. That's Right, only $1.... Its BYOB, so bring the biggest cooler you have, a chair, and a camera, because you aren't gonna wanna miss this. By the Way- Wet T Shirt competition is at 9pm..... Lots of fake and real boobs... My personal favorite!

Well, that's whats going on this weekend! Let me know if you want to meet up at either place! i will have a Canopy set up in Gettysburg, and possibly Corn Hole to play! Hope to see you all there!

Another Weekend Over

Well Happy Monday All!!!!

Yes I know, Its Monday, Blah, FML, etc.... Get over it, we have to get through Mondays to get to the weekend. Its a fact.... So here's my weekend in review.

Friday- Went to the Moose Lodge played poker then hung out with a few friends, and partied hard (Don't worry, I wasn't drinking, just having a good time!). Everything was great until I got a beer poured all over me, then got ditched at the bar, but that was probably for the better, it was time to go home anyway.

Saturday- Well some say I may have been a little crazy on Saturday. I went to the DC Zoo and walked around. You say that's not crazy... Oh yea i forgot to mention that I walked 12.5 miles, with a 30 lbs backpack (all my camera gear), and it was 100 degrees out. Yup, now you understand why people think I'm nuts. I took some really awesome pictures though. Best part about everything was that all of the animals were very active, and the zoo was basically empty. After all this I went to the Moose Lodge again for about an hour, then it was time to go home.

Sunday- Started off my morning by going to weigh in at the gym. I weighed in at 219. 19 more lbs to goal number one. I have already achieved so much, and I can't stop now. Couple more months and I will be back in the Army. Then, I walked over to Hagerstown Bike Week, which happened to be less then a mile from my house. I stayed for some music, but left before the bikini competition because of the storm. After that, you guessed it, back to the Moose Lodge. I met a friend there, then it was back to his house where his folks and a few more friends were sitting around BBQing. Got to hang out with some great friends, eat good food, and throw some horse shoes. By the way, for future reference, I suck at horse shoes, but I get better as the night goes on. It was a great way to end a weekend. Now I just need to figure out what to do next weekend!!!

Well that's all friends! I hope you had as much fun reading about my life as I have writing about it!!!

185/80.8

Yup

Holy Hell! Its Friday already people!!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday filled week. It made for a really nice break! This weekend I'm not too sure what I am going to do. Maybe some fishing, maybe DC for some pictures. I have to mow the lawn at some point (Unless someone wants to come do it for me), but other then that, Its game on! All the other house work got finished while I was sick. Yes, that's right I clean when I am sick. why just sit around and feel sorry for yourself when you can be doing something. I wasn't dying, just felt like hell.

However, I am feeling much better now. Maybe I won't do anything this weekend. I get a little bored traveling by myself all the time. Maybe I'll just sit at home and read my new book (the Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks). Who knows......

Anyone have any ideas?

Have a great weekend! (BTW- Today is day number 182 of not drinking... Who would have thought it?)

"Red White And Blue"
by Lynyrd Skynyrd

We don't have no plastic L.A. Frynds,
ain't on the edge of no popular trend.
Ain't never seen the inside of that magazine GQ.
We don't care if you 're a lawyer, or a texas oil man,
or some waitress busting ass in some liquor stand.
If you got Soul
We hang out with people just like you

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Ride our own bikes To Sturgis
we pay our own dues,
smoking camels, drinking domestic BREWS
You want to know where I have been
just look at my hands
Yeah, I've driven by the White House,
Spent some time in jail.
Momma cried but she still wouldn't pay my bail.
I ain't been no angel,
But even God, he understands.

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Yeah that's right!

My Daddy worked hard, and so have I,
paid our taxes and gave our lives
to serve this great country
so what are they complaining about

Yeah we love our families, we love our kids
you know it is love that makes us all so rich
That's where were at,
If they don't like it they can just
get the HELL out!

Yeah!

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

oh..oh..Red, White, and Blue....

Red, White, and Blue

oh..oh....Red, White, and Blue

The Day After

Well Its Thursday all, hopefully you had a great break from the week yesterday! Mine, wasn't so good. I became extremely sick on Tuesday, so I spent Tuesday and Wednesday locked in my house, not talking to many people...

For the first time in a long time, if ever, I didn't go watch the fireworks. Not that I minded, because I hate fireworks (I find them extremely boring, and think throughout the entire show, how am I going to get out of this traffic mess), but I did hear them. I usually watch the show from my front yard. Is it just me, or did they go off a little late last night? I thought I looked at the clock when they woke me up and it said 10:30....

Hmmmmm...... Oh well, gonna go home tonight, do my workout, and pass out. Hopefully, i won't be sick when I wake up tomorrow.

July 4th

Well Happy Tuesday all! Hopefully, you have power today, because I don’t. I have all of my stuff running on emergency power and an air card. Hopefully, this is your last day before a day off. Mid week breaks are a great thing.
Since I probably won’t have a blog tomorrow, I want to say Happy 4^th of July today!

Remember all of the soldiers, past and present who have fought, or are currently fighting for your freedom. Without the few individuals who have done this, we would have all we have today, including the rights for people to argue about politics, or even step out of their doors and breathe in freedom. Put it all in perspective. Without freedom, I wouldn’t be able to write this blog. So to all of my brothers and sisters, who bear arms along side of me, I thank you. Keep it up, and I will join you before too long….

Truth Is....

Happy Monday All, Power is out in the other office so I'm a little late on the Blog.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was, but I did a lot of thinking. Heres how my weekend went and then I will get to the outcome of my thoughts.

Friday- Moose lodge for some poker then had to drive through that storm we had... Hell of a good time.

Saturday- Drove to Pa, and bought a new Surf pole. I'm gonna do a lot of Surf fishing when I go to the beach this year. Then I decided I was going down to the river and think while I catfish.

Sunday- I went slightly crazy and drove to Ocean City for the day. I got my sand and water fix, and some good seafood. Then I drove home...

Ok, so what I was thinking about... Lots of things

This blog is about me. NObody else.... This is the reason there arent any names in it. My friends do some outrageous things. If they want to be known, I am sure that they will let you in on who it is.

- A lot of people wonder why I am single. I choose to be. I have to feel I have to accomplish something before I can drag anyone along with me. Thats why I made a rule, no girlfriend until all my training is done. Sorry, but its me. I suck at relationships and I tend to throw myself full force into them, and forget about everything I am doing. I CAN'T do that anymore. A part of it has to be about me, and I forgot that a long time ago. I dont even know if its fair if I drag anyone away from Md, when I want to eventually go as far away from here as possible someday. Whether it is a year or its 10 years, I will not live in Md forever.... Now for another topic.

- My status with the Army. I have 3 choices, next to each choice is the chance I am going to do that one.
             - Reserves and stay where I am- 35%
             - Reserves and move to either SC or FL 35%
             - Active Army- 30%
Thats the truth, I have decisions to make and only I can make them. However I do like to here others opinions.... So let me know what you think.....
