Offended Much?

Happy Thursday!!! Almost Friday. I have decided to only write a few times a week, so you will basically just have to wait for my thoughts. Work is nuts, and until I have time, it will stay like this.

Today we talk about being offended, while I will try to offend as many people as possible.

First off, lets start discussing the Duck Dynasty situation.... What in the hell ever happened to freedom of speech. Now, don't get me wrong, I feel that everyone has the right to be happy, and I have no problem with homosexuality what-so-ever (Shit, I have quite a few friends that are in the Navy, LOL, kidding). However, who are we to suspend a guy because he doesn't agree with it. Should everyone lose their jobs because they don't agree with something... Should I get fired for not liking peanut butter and jelly? I mean shit people, stop getting butt-hurt just because someone doesn't like what you do.

Second... Stop giving trophy's to every kid that plays sports. Your child needs to know that there are winners and losers. They need to know that there are consequences to not putting in the effort to win, or be greater. We are creating a generation of pussies because they believe that everything is entitled to them. Graduating college with a degree in accounting should not mean that you should automatically get a management position. This is why we had the occupation movement. A bunch of children didn't like being told they had to work their way up, and wanted to strive to be the 1%. Get your happy ass to McDonalds or Burger King, and work your way up like everyone else. Quit crying...

Third... Minimum wage should not be raised to $15 an hour. Once again, work your way up the chain. If you raise it, then the prices of everything else will raise. Think about it morons, how are you going to pay people that much? It sure as hell isn't going to come out of the companies pockets. Don't like what you are making? Strive to be better... Nobody is entitled to anything, You get what you work to get.

Fourth.... Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act (Same thing people)..... Hows that working for you? No seriously? Great job, now people are losing their insurances, and can't get onto a stupid web site to sign up for more...

Fifth.... If I want to say Merry Christmas, I damn will.... I don't care about your religion, you are entitled to it. However, I celebrate December 25th as the birth of Christ... Cool, you don't celebrate it, tell me happy Hanukkah, or Happy Kwanzaa, Whatever you celebrate. Be happy with you, stop bitching about everything everyone else says or does.

OK, OK, I think I touched about all that is on my mind... I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Times Change

Happy Monday All! I hope everyone had as good of a weekend as I did! I have also come up with a few changes that are going to be made rather soon.

Well, here is everything:

Friday- Worked bright and early. First thing in the morning I had yet another confrontation with my boss. It ended with him snapping his fingers at me and telling me to get to work. I bit my tongue. I should have snapped his neck. However, since I need this job still, I refrained. This led to my ultimate decision. I am going to leave this job eventually. Its time. I am going to do everything in my power to go active duty, either AGR, or Active, whoever will take me. I'll even switch to the Air Force if I have to (Never the Navy though, because I would have to either cut my penis off, or start to have sex with boys or goats, and personally that's just not my thing). Then I went home and waited for my parents to get there.

Saturday- Up bright and early to head to the Army-Navy game. This was awesome. There was March-ons, 3 fly overs by the Blue Angels, and a fly over by 5 Apache's. The weather was horrible, so we left at Half-time. The Army lost, but I couldn't have asked for a better bunch of people to spend the day with, even though the Girlfriend is still a Navy fan...

Sunday- Up bright and early yet again. The Gf and myself went down to Ft. Belvoir to pick up my ticket vouchers for the Military Bowl, which weren't there yet. I have to go next weekend. I also bought a new laptop. I needed one, because my old one is extremely slow, and my education isn't getting better. It also has a touch screen which I found extremely cool. After that we drove to Bethesda to go to Walter Reed. She wanted to check out the exchange there. Finally when we got home, we picked up her daughter and went to go see frozen. It was a cute movie, typical Disney, but very good for kids. I enjoyed it.

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great day!

Decisions, Decisions

Happy Mother F'ing Hump Day!

Yesterday was my breaking point. There is only so many things work can throw at you before you absolutely lose your mind... Well it happened, and I honestly couldn't feel better today. Nothing has been solved, but I know in the long run I am going to be absolutely fine. Big decisions still to be made. This involves just about everything...

I have such a great woman in my life. She spent the entire snow day cleaning MY house yesterday... Jeez, what did I do to deserve that? SO I went and bought her flowers on the way home, which the cat immediately ate.... Its the thought that counts, right?

This weekend, I am going to the Army-Navy game.... Its going to be a rough one for me. Army has lost the last 11 years in a row. My Girlfriend is a die hard Navy fan. We are also sitting on the Navy side... This could get ugly.... Do I wear my uniform or not?

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great day!!

Snow

Well, here we go again... Happy white Tuesday... The weather sucks, but I am still alive and at work.

What I don't get is why in the world, we would get a 2 hour delay when the roads are fine, but when the snow is coming down at 1-2 inches an hour, we are expected to report on time.... HA! Lets see how many people actually even make it in today. I sure as hell wasn't going to use a vacation day on something as petty as the weather.

Another thing.... If you have a two wheel drive car, or truck, keep your asses at home. There is no reason to risk my life, or yours on the mountains. There were idiots all over stranded. A muscle car isn't going to make it over the mountains. If there is any question if you are going to make it, wait....

OK, I have some work to do. If you have a snow day enjoy it... I'm staying late...

Updates

Happy snowy as hell Monday all. I've been gone a while, but I have my reasons. I honestly haven't had much to write about, and I have been thinking a lot. Here are a few updates. I am going to try to write more, but hang in there with me.

- The Girlfriend and I are doing fairly well. We have our issues, but I honestly think most of it is me. Maybe I have been alone to long. Maybe I don't know how to appreciate someone who loves me like she does. No matter how much of an ass I am, she still sticks with me, and honestly, I don't think I deserve someone like her.

- Work has been absolute hell. Working 60+ hours a week because they have tripled my workload. Its hard to keep up anymore, and it is really wearing me out. Oh well, gonna struggle on through it.

- The Army is good. I still haven't been promoted, but it will come eventually. I am constantly struggling with whether I want to go Active Duty, or AGR. Sometimes you just have to take a leap, and any leap right now just scares the living shit out of me.

- My knee is healing. I ran a 5k on Thanksgiving Morning. Finish it in 34:20. I don't think it was too bad considering it was my first one and everything.

- The weather here in Maryland sucks. I went to Myrtle Beach Thanksgiving week, and it wasn't so good there either. Maybe crappy weather just follows me. If I moved to Hawaii, I bet it would start snowing there too.

- I need to get motivated again. I seem to have lost it. If someone finds my motivation, please return it. I could use it.

Well, That's all I am going to write about today. Just remember, today is the first day of the rest of your life, live it!!!

Puppies

Happy Wednesday All! Few more days until vacation! Yay me (Again)!

Well, people that know me well, I have been thinking about getting a puppy for quite some time now. I went to the animal shelter last Saturday and sort of fell in love with the cutest little puppy. He was a black lab/pit bull mix. I felt horrible when I had to leave him and he started crying. It also didn't help that my woman and her daughter are evil, and kept telling me that I was leaving him there to die....

I've decided that if he is still there when I get back from vacation, I will start the adoption process. I hope him and Warren get along. I figure everyone elses dog poops in my yard, I may as well have my own. That way, I have a reason to pick up poop constantly.

Warren is getting older now, but is still very playful. I found this out a few weeks ago when the Gf brought over her rat (Its a Chihuahua, but it looks like a rat). So my thought is, if I can get the puppy, he will grow up liking the cat.... Then again, this could go horribly wrong. Lol.

Well, that's all for that...

On a more serious note, We lost a Soldier on Sunday.... SPC Justin Ohler. May you rest in peace buddy, you are and always will be family....

I want everyone to remember that life is precious, you never know when your, or someone you knows last day will be.

Bully

Happy Tuesday All! We are closing in on another weekend, and also the start of my vacation! It is very much needed.

However, today we are going to talk about a very serious problem in America:

Bullying

Some people don't know this about me, but when I was younger, I was bullied every day for probably seven or eight years. So I know a lot about this topic. It involved getting picked on, getting into fights daily, and tons, upon tons of peer pressure... It sucked being the fat kid. Shit I even had some family members picking on me.

I never let it get to me. I fought back, and it all just made me stronger. I believe deep down inside, it made me a better person. Should kids be subject to this? Hell no. In the end, I got the last laugh. I made something of myself, and the kids who made fun of me didn't, or then became fat themselves.

This is where I am going with this: If my kids ever come and tell me that they are being bullied in school, on the bus, or even on the playground. I will not hesitate to tell them to punch the bully square in the jaw. Does violence fix anything? Nope... But if its a good enough punch, I guarantee the bully will think twice. I'm not going to raise a coward who runs to mommy every time there is a little bit of adversity. I will also teach my child not to be the bully, and accept everyone for who they are.

In the bigger picture, the reason this all came up, is because now-a-days you see a boat load of adults claim they are being bullied.

Quit being a pussy....

Stand up for yourself. There have been two recent events that football players are claiming being bullied. One in the NFL, and one in college.

Lets start with the NFL: You are being hazed. Deal with it. Quit crying and fix the problem. Not only did you show that you are a baby, you also showed that you are a quitter. You are being paid 10 times more than the average person, even if you are making league minimum. Get over yourself. Use that Stanford education, and quit being such a bitch.

College: Rutgers University.... One of their Corner Backs decided to walk off the team because the coach yelled at him and used profanity.... Are you F'ing serious?!?!? Did you put on a skirt before you take the field? This isn't bullying. This is called you being a flaming vagina. Now, you have your mother fighting so that you can keep your scholarship? Here, let me light both of your tampons and see who explodes first...

Is this what we are doing? Are we raising a generation of cowards? I'm not saying violence is the right way to solve anything, but neither is crawling in a hole, or quitting doing something that any American would love to do!

Well, that's all I have for today! Feel free to comment, I know this will raise quite a few eyebrows.

11/18/13

Happy Monday All!

Well, I'm back! Sorry for the lack of posts, but I needed to refresh myself. Life has been good. I'm still with the gf.... for now.... I think she'll end up killing me before too long, but, eh, it happens...

Today started out like every other Monday... Then I went to Sheetz to fill the car up, and the car didn't start.... Thankfully, I got a jump from a stranger. So I brought the car home, and jumped in the truck... Looks like I'll be getting a new battery tonight.

Then, on the way to work, there was an accident, so that added a few more minutes to the drive... Yay! Fun stuff!

Well, that's all I am going to get into today. I hope you all have a great one!!!

Exhausted

Happy Monday All! Another weekend has come and gone, I hope everyone enjoyed that extra hour you got!

I had drill this past weekend. They gave me a flu shot so I am still feeling like hell! I don't know why it does it, but every time I get one of those, it makes me sick. Aren't they supposed to keep you from getting ill?

My weekend wrapped up is: Friday, sleep, Saturday, SRP, Sunday, Everything we didn't get done on Saturday... Pretty simple.

Life right now is pretty good. I'm just coounting down the days until Thanksgiving break, where I get to spend some time with the woman and my parents down in Myrtle Beach. Getting closer every minute.

I hope everyone has a great week!

"Wanted"
by Hunter Hayes

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips.
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

You'll always be wanted

Green

Well Happy Friday!

Its another green weekend, so there really isn't much to write about.

The days are getting shorter, but we gain an extra hour of sleep this weekend, and that's pretty exciting.

Life's pretty good right now. I still can't sleep worth a damn some nights, but I go to the gym and make do. Shit, if I go to the gym every time I can't sleep, I'll be getting 3 times as many workouts! lol

Well, Have a good one everyone! I know I will!!!

"Cruise"
By Florida Georgia Line
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

Hey baby

Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her
She’s poppin’ right out of the South Georgia water
Thought, "Oh, good lord, she had them long tanned legs!"
Couldn’t help myself so I walked up and said

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell of a lot better with you up in it
So baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

She was sippin’ on Southern and singin’ Marshall Tucker
We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer
She hopped right up into the cab of my truck and said,
"Fire it up, let’s go get this thing stuck."

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell of a lot better with you up in it
So baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

When that summer sun fell to its knees
I looked at her and she looked at me
And I turned on those KC lights and drove all night
'Cause it felt so right, her and I, man we felt so right

I put it in park and
Grabbed my guitar
And strummed a couple chords
And sang from the heart
Girl you sure got the beat in my chest bumpin’
Hell, I can’t get you out of my head

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell of a lot better with you up in it
Come on

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

Come on, girl
Get those windows down and cruise
Aww, yeah.

October 31st

Spooky.... Yup, Its Halloween again, a day where people will go door to door, asking for candy, and indulge on sugary sweets for the next few days...

For some, its Thursday, and I will be at the gym.

Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the kids coming around Trick or Treating, but theres got to be a certain age where it ends... Shit, I can't wait until I have kids so that I can steal their candy Lol... Its a team effort right? However, When someones light is off out front, you don't keep knocking on their door until they wake up. I get up early, the last thing I want to do is hand out candy between 6 and 10pm.... My happy ass will be dreaming of getting smaller, while your ass is getting bigger...

Have some respect for some of us not on Welfare, that have to work in the mornings....

Well, have fun everyone! Tomorrow is Friday!!!!

"Time Warp"
By Rocky Horror

RiffRaff:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...

Magenta:
Not for very much longer.

RiffRaff:
I've got to keep control.

I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me

Magenta:
And the void would be calling...

Transylvanians:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
Put your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Magenta:
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with
voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.

RiffRaff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip.

RiffRaff:
And nothing can ever be the same.

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation.

RiffRaff:
Like you're under sedation.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street
just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an
evil wink.
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the
devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Put your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Wheres Everbody At?

Happy Hump Day!!! Good Morning people....

Where is everyone? I seem to be getting less and less viewers on a daily basis. Maybe I have succeeded at pissing off the entire world? Go Me!!!

Not that I give a flying hoot about who reads this... Its really my log on life. I do however enjoy knowing that maybe I am helping out someone, or that someone finds me interesting....

Eh, oh well, Here's today's update:

I ran 2.1 miles of hills in 19min 58 seconds. Woo Hoo!!! I'm getting ready for yet another push of greatness! Just need to get that number around 16 minutes flat. That will put me at around 15 minutes for 2 miles on a track. That my friends would be awesome. Better than my goal.

Well, that's all I have! Have a great Wednesday all!!!

"Carolina"
By Parmalee

Home is where my heart is still beating
I don't know when I'll see her again
I hate to see her cry when I'm leaving
But now I'm a thousand miles away again

She feels like Carolina (feels like Carolina)
Looks like California (looks like California)
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway
When she looks back I'm behind her
I'll always be there for her
She makes me feel like home's not so far away
She feels like Carolina

It's hard to understand the way I'm living
I know you think I'm never coming home (never coming home)
But I miss your pretty smile, and I'm coming back in a little while
But I'm a thousand miles away again

She feels like Carolina (feels like Carolina)
Looks like California (looks like California)
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway
When she looks back I'm behind her
I'll always be there for her
She makes me feel like home's not so far away
She makes me feel like home's not so far away

No matter how far I go, you know I can't stop thinking about her
And there's nothing like the way I feel, the way I feel when I'm beside her
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

She feels like Carolina
Looks like California
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway
She feels like Carolina (feels like Carolina)
Looks like California
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway

When she looks back I'm behind her (feels like Carolina)
I'll always be there for her
She makes me feel like home's not so far away

Carolina
California

Like home's not so far away

She feels like Carolina (feels like Carolina)
Looks like California
She makes me feel like home's not so far away
She makes me feel like home (so far away)
She makes me feel like home's not so far away

450

Well, Its Tuesday! I got a good night sleep last night, that's always a good thing.

This is post number 450. Who would have thought I would still be writing after 2 whole years. I thank each and every reader I have, without you, I would still write, but without purpose.

Todays topic is Military Rivalry. As most of you know, I am in the Army. Have been since 1998, and even when I got out for those 6 years, the mindset has never left. I eat, sleep, drink, and live the Army every day. No matter what is going on in my life, it is, and has been, there for me to a point. Not always how I want it to be there, but always there none the less.

People put down the Army, especially Marines. All together, I really don't have a problem with sibling rivalry, but in the end, we are all fighting for one cause. I have your back, you have mine. If a civilian is giving you shit, I am going to be right there next to you, kicking ass, while calling you a dumb Jarhead the entire time. OK, now it is time for me to say something about each service (Just remember, this is all out of good old fun, and if you have never been in the military, you have no idea):

Air Force- So much I can say about Airmen... Do they still issue you guys nail polish when you deploy? How are the enlisted condos they give you? This is the only service I know that would get substandard living pay for staying in an Army barracks....

Navy- You guys get really lonely on those ships and subs don't you? Bell Bottoms guys? Really? They went out in the 70's? What are you a bunch of hippies?

Marines- I couldn't make it into the Marines because I was too smart. Just remember guys, you are only on this list because The Sailors need dates to the Balls... Marines have dancing Balls too, only because they can't find their own... Just remember, in the end, the Navy owns you. Someday, maybe they will let you guys be your own service.

Coast Guard- I really can't say much about Coasties.... They really stay to themselves. Sorry most people forget about you all when they list the branches.

Well, I hope I offended some people today! Just remember its all in good fun. Feel free to comment and bash the Army, or any other service, out of fun only! Just remember, if you didn't serve, you really don't know!

Have a great day all!!!

Motivation

Happy Monday All! Well, Maybe not so Happy, but it is Monday, and we have all made it through the weekend, and that's something to be proud of.

My weekend wasn't really exciting. Well for me it was fairly exciting because it was busy, but its really not like anyone gives a crap about me cleaning my house.... But.... Its my blog and here was my weekend....

Friday- Had to stay at work late, which ruined all of my plans. Didn't get to have dinner with the woman, didn't even get to see her. So, I went and got sushi, and then tried to sleep....

Saturday- Woke up early and went for a run. Then it was time to clean my ass off, then mow the lawn. Then more cleaning.... At about three O'clock, I called it quits to have dinner and head to the parade. It was OK, I'm really not that into parades that much, but I went anyways because I was asked.

Sunday- Up bright and early and headed to the gym. Then to Lowes to get some insulation for my Attic. Throw it all up there, then start installing it. I found out that there was absolutely zero insulation above my bedroom. So that's why it always stays cold up there. I got about half way done before I twisted my knee. I called it quits after that. Cleaned a little more, then finally went to bed.

Well, that's all I got. Too much stuff on my mind, which is really killing my motivation for anything, but like always, I'll get over it.

Have a great week all!

Friday, October 25, 2013

Happy, Happy Friday!!!!

Hello Friday! Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?!?!?

Well, everyone, another work week has come to an end for most of us. I don't really have to much on my plate this weekend, except for cleaning and house work, but here it is anyways:

Friday- Work, then home.... Going to get some Sushi and watch some TV with the woman.

Saturday- Up bright and early for the gym. Afterwards, its cleaning time. Whole house, top to bottom, inside and out. Its going to be a bust ass kind of day. At night, I am going to freeze my ass off at the Mummers parade.

Sunday- Up bright and early for the gym again, then finishing with the cleaning, changing the oil in the Mustang, and very likely putting insulation in the attic. I am going to do the attic as financially sound as possible. Meaning that I am only going to do as much as my budget will allow. I figure if I do it this way, I can probably get 10 rolls or so at a time, and it will most likely take me 3-4 months to finish. Any little bit helps right?

I didn't ask anyone for help this weekend, because I already ask too much of my friends, but if you feel like just stopping by and giving me a hand, let me know. It is all much appreciated!

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thursday, October 24, 2013

One More Step

Happy Thursday..... Wait, it is Thursday right? I've been up since 0030, so I'm a little delirious. Oh well. I got a good workout in at 0230. Fun stuff, right?

Well, my weekend plans have come down to the fact that I am doing nothing but taking care of my house for those 48 hours. Sorry to anyone I had to disappoint, but you'll get over it.

Work has been hell in here the last few weeks, and its not getting any better. I'm even going to have to work on Veterans Day weekend because of an office move. Lots of Overtime, but you all know how much I cherish my long weekends. Shit, I cherish any weekend. That's me time!!!!

Well, I don't have anything else today! I hope everyone has a great day!!!

"Hell On Wheels"
By Brantley Gilbert

So man you think you wanna run whiskey
Roll with me
Hell you better listen good and clear
And if you gotta badge
Or a big mouth brother
You ain't got no business here
Boy this here is a moonshine still
Can't you smell that whiskey burn
This is how the big dogs run
Boy you're ridin' shotgun
Buckle up, and let's have some fun

Ridin' 95 down the highway
Sideways, runnin' from ol' John Law
I got the booze and the boot
Move it over Bo Duke
Make room for a real outlaw
Duct tape on that license plate
A six gun in the dash
Is thunder in the hood
Heaven from a still
Lighter and a jar
And brother I'm hell on wheels
Said I'm hell on wheels

Just nine more miles until the state line
We're on time and we lost Barney's blues
So you can open your eyes
You done fine
And danger's part of what we do
Now when we make that drop
We're gonna pop a top
You gotta lesson left to learn
It ain't wine, don't sip it
Make it bubble when ya hit it
Let it burn, baby, burn

And we'll be ridin' 95 down the highway
Sideways, runnin' from ol' John Law
I got the booze in the boot
Move it over Bo Duke
Make room for a real outlaw
Duct tape on that license plate
A six gun in the dash
Is thunder in the hood
Heaven from a still
Lighter and a jar
And brother I'm hell on wheels
Said I'm hell on wheels

Ridin' 95 down the highway
Sideways, runnin' from ol' John Law

Heaven from a still
Lighter and a jar

That Day Again

Happy Wednesday....

Half way through the week! Anyone planning their weekend yet? Mine is going to be a little bit on the nuts side, but I will get through it.

Well, I have officially signed up for the Tough Mudder. I have already started training for the June 14th event. If anyone wants to sign up, or be a spectator (You need to sign up for that too) Its the Doswell, Va event. Come cheer on this blogger and his team, The Mud Warriors. The name may change between now and then, but that's it for now. If anyone would like to donate to the Wounded Warrior Foundation, please go to my link and do so. No donation is too small!!!

Toughness and Disappointment

Happy Tuesday all! Well, another Monday over with, and we all got through it. I hope you are at least happy about that.

Well, I have decided to run the Tough Mudder in June. I am trying to get a team together, and it seems like the people that I though most likely to do it are ignoring me. I don't see why helping a great cause, and getting a little exercise is so hard to do. My military Friends especially, because we should be able to do this with our eyes closed!!! Well, as soon as I think of a good team name I am going to sign up. It doesn't matter if its just me or 100 on our team, I am going to make it through every obstacle. Then I can check that off of my bucket list.

Last night, I had to disappoint someone I care about. I hate doing that. I just have responsibilities that I need to take care of, and I needed to make room to accomplish them. I hope she understands eventually, and I will make it up too her somehow. I am sure she will let me know how. Lol...

Well, that's all for today. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday, and if you can think of any good team names let me know!!!

A Day Off, or an Off Day?

Happy Monday All. Its a start to yet another week and I am supposed to be refreshed after a great weekend.

Well, I'm not....

Let me start by telling you about my weekend. Don't get me wrong, It was good, just a lot going on.

Friday- Work, then directly after work, I drove down to my buddies house so that we can drive to the NRA range to practice shooting. I took the rifle out, and he took his .40. Stayed about an hour. I ended up getting home at a little after 11pm.

Saturday- Up bright and early to head to the gym. Spent 2 whole hours busting my ass. Then it was back home. I cleaned the rifle, went grocery shopping, cleaned the house, did laundry, and a few other things. Once again, no time to relax. Shit, I was even cleaning while I watched the LSU game.

Sunday- Up early to run. Then it was time to get all dressed up and head to Pa for my Godson's Christening. It was great to see everyone, and the baby was really good during the whole process. Then we went to lunch. Good food, and got to talk with the family for a bit. Finally it was time to drive home.

Well, that was my weekend. Exhausting like always. I had fun, but at some point my body is going to crash. Looks like I won't have a day off for at least the next 3 weekend, for the following reasons, in order: Wedding, Reserves, Office Move at the main job. I can think of a million things I need to do with the house also. It needs to be winterized, plus I have to do some deep cleaning. Maybe I can fit that into next weekend?

Another thing, do you ever feel absolutely disrespected sometimes? I know that I am off topic, but sometimes I feel like some people do it just to get a reaction, at other times, I don't know what to think.

Yet another thing, I ask questions because I want to know things, not to hear myself speak. I go over this a lot, but maybe sometimes people just don't listen... Eh, maybe I'm just bitching over nothing. I need some sleep...

Well, that's all I have for today. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Short Time

Thank God for short weeks! Happy Friday all!!! Another weekend is upon us. Aren't we happy?

Well, I have plenty more plans for this weekend. Seems like theres always something going on. At least they are good and happy things! Well, here it is:

Friday- Work.... Tonight I am going to hit the driving range in the daylight then maybe the gym afterwards. Can't get too much fitness in. I'm really happy on the amount of physical activity I have been able to add to my routine, and I've had fun doing it!

Saturday- Up bright and early to hit the gym, and get a run in. Maybe afterward I'll go and hit the small golf course for a quick nine holes or so. After that, I have a whole lot of cleaning to do. I am completely redoing the bedroom and the living room. Next weekend, I'll hit the basement. Its time for a fall cleaning spree!

Sunday- Up bright and early yet again. This time I am going to my godson's christening. It will be good to see my family again. Lots of driving that day though, but well worth it.

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Wanted
by Hunter Hayes

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips.
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

You'll always be wanted

Oh Boy

Happy Thursday.....

Well, the government is back in service until they start fighting again in January. What are the odds that they pull this shit again come Deadline time? Once again it seems as if they like taking their times and hurting the American people. Maybe its my time to run for congress. Maybe I can make a difference. We'll see, I still have a few more years until election time.

I'm in a sorta bad mood today. Between work, this crappy weather lately, and everything else that has been going on, I just want to lock the door on the house and rest. Maybe clean. Its hard taking care of a house all by yourself, but I have been doing pretty good for the last 4 1/2 years. Maybe now should be the time to hire a maid? Eh, probably not, I don't want to feel lazy.

I've been working out every day again. I feel pretty good in that aspect, but I really don't want to push too hard. I'm still a little afraid that I will hurt myself again. The feeling will go away in time, but for now, I will just go at a snails pace.

Well, that's all for today. Tomorrow is Friday! Have a great one all!!!

My Kinda Party
By Jason Aldean

I worked all week.
Cleaned up, clean cut, and clean shaved.
I got the cover off the '68.
I fired it up, and let them horses sing.
A little pretty thing.
A little tan legged Georgia dream.
She's a'rockin' them holey jeans.
Baby, what you got goin' on Saturday? You know,
Words got it, there's gonna be a party,
Out of town about half a mile.
Four wheel drives and big mud tires.
Muscadine wine
 
[Chorus]
Oh baby, you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin' 'round watchin' all these pretty things.
a'Get down in that Georgia clay.
And I'll find peace.
In the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
Chillin' with some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Lets get this thing started.
It's my kind of party.
 
Well if you wanna drink.
Go on baby, just do your thing.
But give up your keys.
Hell why drive when you can stay with me?
And then after while we'll sneak away from the bonfire.
Walk by the moonlight and down to the riverside.
Gotcha sippin' on the moonshine.
Baby, if you're in mood and you can settle for a one night rodeo.
If you can be my tan-legged Juliet,
I'll be your Redneck Romeo.
 
Oh baby, you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin' 'round watchin' all these pretty things.
a'Get down in that Georgia clay.
And I'll find peace.
In the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
Chillin' with some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Lets get this thing started.
It's my kind of party.
 
Oh baby, you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin' 'round watchin' all these pretty things.
a'Get down in that Georgia clay.
And I'll find peace.
In the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
Chillin' with some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Lets get this thing started.
It's my kind of party.
 
Haha, y'all ready for this?
Y'all go head and turn it on up

Getting there

Happy, Happy Wednesday all! I hope everyone is having a great and smooth week. Its hard to believe that the week is half way over.

Lately I have completely engulfed in work and working out, so not much is changing. I'm trying to lose a butt ton more weight and its going fairly well. I just need to keep my round American ass away from the buffet on weekends. I know I can do this, just takes a bunch of willpower. I ran 2 miles on concrete this morning. I'm loving it!

I have been thinking long and hard about getting my personal trainer certification. If not to train people, at least it will help me train myself. Its a little pricey, but can you really put a price tag on your health or helping others? I didn't think so.

Well, it seems as if I am losing readers all over the place. Is there something you all want to read about? Am I missing something? Let me know. I write to clear my mind, but at the same time its nice to know people do read this on occasion.

Well, that's all for today! I hope everyone has a great one!!!

Marching for a cause

Happy Tuesday All! Well, this past weekend was packed full of stuff. Some expected, some not so expected. I just hope I can remember everything I did! I hope everyone has an eventful time! Here's mine:

Friday- Started off working, then I went to the Goodwill store in Frederick for some new clothes. The Gf seems to think I dress like crap, so she is attempting to change that. Sometimes she makes me feel like a damn Ken doll (minus the abs). I know she means well, and at times I really do need to dress better, but sometimes you just need to put on a pair of warm-ups and sandals and chill. So after I went and bought a crap load of new shirts, and a tie, I went to Wegmans grocery store for the first time. That place has everything! Extremely over priced though. I bought myself some Tilapia and Sushi, then it was time to go home.

Saturday- Up bright and early because I had a leak in my roof. This sucked. Good thing I have good friends who like wet roofs. I bleached the hell out of the attic to get rid of any mold, while my buddy tarred the chimney, and scrapped the paint down in the kitchen. Seems like the leak is fixed for now, but I won't be for sure until the next major storm. Now that we were done with that, I took him out to Ryans for helping, then me and the Gf went to Ikea. I bought a new cabinet for the bedroom, a new wine rack, and a shelving unit for the kitchen. Once we got home, she cooked dinner while I put the stuff together, and watched the LSU game.

Sunday- Up early yet again... Yes I am missing the days when I could sleep until noon. Sunday morning was the million vet march on DC. We were meeting at the WWII memorial to protest the closing and barricading of our open air memorials. I mean seriously, why do that? Theres just no good reason. I have been following the limited news coverage of the event, and you really can see how they twist everything. According to one news source, there wasn't any veterans there and it was just a bunch of Tea Party people with signs and causing trouble. Well, I was there and I can tell you that there were plenty of Vets there. We were there for a purpose. Yes, I left before the party moved to the White House, but I was there for about 3 hours and got some awesome pictures. Once I got home, I met up with the Gf and went to KMart so she can do a little Christmas shopping. Then it was back home once again.

Monday- Actually slept until 7... GO Me! Then it was time to clean and do laundry. I ended up at Walmart in the afternoon, because I had a rather large list of stuff I needed. Then I went home and finally relaxed.

I think I need a weekend to recover from the weekend! Its tiring doing everything you want, while fighting for those that can't fight for themselves!

Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Be good this week, or at least be good at being bad!

Friday, October 11, 2013

Well Then

Friday....

Not so happy, but Friday....

Rain ruins everything. Woke up this morning to water on my counter. I'm hoping that its not the roof, and just the vent on the side of the house, but with my luck, I'll be paying out the ass for a new roof....

FML...

Well other than that, life is peachy. If I can get the roof fixed tonight then I have a pretty good weekend planned. Thank god for an extended weekend.

Friday- Work, then I need to stop in Frederick for a few things. Then home to rest up.

Saturday- Up early to check out the roof. Then fix whatever problem it is. After we are done, going to Ikea to get a side table for the bedroom. Hopefully, I'll be home before the LSU game.

Sunday- Up early for the Million Vet March. I'm going to go and take pictures, hopefully we'll have a great turnout. then home for some football.

Monday- I'm not doing a damn thing...

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great day!

Crime Spree

Thursday.... 10/10/13.....

Well, on a positive note, tomorrow is the last day of my work week. I also get a 3-day weekend, which is pretty sweet. Its already started raining, and is supposed to continue until Monday.... Sooooo, that means its going to be a wet weekend.

Last night the mall movie theater by my house was shot up. Theres more to come later once I find more out. From what I heard earlier, nobody was killed and the suspect was already caught.

Well, I was told that the truckers are doing there little blockade tomorrow. I thought it was today. That just means that these truckers aren't just screwing up traffic, they are screwing up Friday Morning traffic. Like it wasn't hard enough for us on a Friday, or a long weekend, that we have to put up with these guys....

I found where the budget cuts should come, and where the Military death benefits can come from:

White House Staff last year made: $37,859,780.00

I think its about time the First Family started cooking their own damn meals, cleaning their own house, writing their own speeches, etc. Seriously, if you want a chef, maids, etc, pay it out of your own pocket instead of using the publics' money. Its time our commander and all of Congress started living like the people that it is supposed to represent. No more freebies. We had a little way in the 1700's so that we didn't have to live under a monarch. We are the people, for the people, by the people. I think if our leaders had to live with all the laws that they passed, this country wouldn't be going through half of what we do. I'm not calling for a pay cut of Congress or the President, just stop with the hand me downs.

Another thing, All elected officials should have to serve a stint in the Armed forces. Let them go through basic training, let them be completely torn apart, then rebuilt, let them serve under leaders who take away their rights, and then expect them to do as they wish as they slowly take away all of their benefits, and still expect them to fight at a high capacity. I'm not talking about get elected join the military. I'm talking before you are even put on the ballot.

Oh, if the world was just that easy.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Wednesday 10/9/13

Happy Wednesday All! Well, we are half way through yet another week, and things are looking bright for us all.

I am sorry that this blog recently has become more political than anything else, but hey, I live next to Washington DC and both of my Jobs deal with the government. I still have to watch what I say, but some things need to be thought about. I mean everyone needs to think about it, not just some of us.

Here are some key points and screw jobs the government is currently putting people through. I may or may not have harped on this before, so bare with me because it is all still on my mind:

- Recently, we have had 5 soldiers pay the ultimate price for our great country. These men and women VOLUNTEERED for service. They will not be paid their death benefits... Now I find this a little bit offensive, and I believe that before anyone is paid, these families deserve their money. In their time of grief they should not be affected by a government shutdown.

- Reserves and Guard still aren't getting paid. Training is lapsing. We will not be a nation ready to fight if we can't train. Are the bad guys training during our government shutdown? You can bet your sweet ass they are!

- 3000+ truckers are planning on blocking the inner loop of the DC beltway tomorrow. They are protesting the government. Guess what Assholes, you aren't hurting anyone but the private civilian just trying to make a living. Congressmen don't take the beltway. Even though I do believe in protesting and speaking your mind, I do hope that every single one of you get arrested for being stupid, and disrupting the lives of innocent civilians.

Well, that's all I really have for today. There was more, but maybe I'll leave that for another day! Have a good one everybody!

One week down...

Happy Tuesday All! Or is it?

The government is starting week number two of its stalemate. Our president is taking the same stance with congress as we do with terrorists, meaning, he has already said he will not negotiate or compromise. I'm pretty sure this isn't how our government is supposed to work, but who am I to argue with the powers that be? Hopefully for the sake of our country, this all gets resolved soon. People are losing money everywhere.

I got told yesterday that because of the shutdown, reserves for October was canceled. Thanks for insuring ALL of the military got paid. You know, one congressman's salary would probably pay an entire units one month drill.... Just throwing that out there. Thanks for making us pay, while you children play and piss in your sand box....

Here's a few things I have realized in sports recently:

- The Jets have more wins so far then I had thought they would have all season. They are now 3-2, and they play the Steelers on Sunday. This should be interesting, being the girlfriend is a Steelers fan. Come on Jets! I can't have both of my teams lose to hers this season. She is not a very graceful winner, and it gets ugly when her team wins at all... Typical Steelers fan lol

- LSU has lost more games so far this year then I had thought they would... They lost to Georgia, It was a great game, I just didn't think they would lose it. They still have 3 more very tough games coming, against Florida, Texas A&M, and Alabama... This is going to be interesting.

- The Mets suck. There is no sugar coating this.

- The Saints are awesome again! All it took was a coach.

- Hockey season is just starting, so I really don't have much of a take on the Devils and the Bruins.

Well, that's all I really have for today! I hope everyone has a great week!

Monday, October 7, 2013

Another Monday Morning

Happy Monday All! Well I hope another great weekend was had by all. Mine seemed like a lot of shopping, but was good all the same.

Well, with no further delay, here it is:

Friday- Work, then home to go shopping with the GF. She seems to think I need to dress a little nicer on occasion. Maybe she's right, but it still doesn't mean that I have to like it. We ended up going to Walmart so I can pick up some new "Special Occasion" pants. I'll have to stop at Marshalls some time soon to get a few shirt and tie combos.

Saturday- Woke up early and headed to the gym. Then it was time to go shopping for some new running shoes. I need to get back to running on pavement, and I don't want my cheap ass Walmart running shoes to mess up my knees. So I went to Dicks Sporting Goods and picked up a pair of Brooks. I think my knees will thank me later. Then it was back home to relax before the wedding. Met some new people, got some OK food, drank a few beers, then went home and passed out after the LSU game.

Sunday- Slept in a little bit, then it was back to Dicks. I had been wanting some new golf irons for quite some time, because my old ones were 10 years old and falling apart. I ended up getting the Taylormade Rocketballz Iron set. I feel good about this purchase because they were on sale (Woo Hoo, $300 off), and because I love Taylormade! After I got them fitted and everything, I went to the driving range to test them out. I'll tell you this, if I can transfer my driving range session to the golf course, I'll be unstoppable. All I need to do is work on my drive a little bit. Its getting straighter, but could be better. Then I went grocery shopping, and to help get a little bit of mulch. Finally I ended up back home, ate a little dinner, and relaxed.

All in all, it was a pretty good weekend! I hope everyone had a great one too!!!

Friday, October 4, 2013

Ooooppppsss

Happy Friday all! At last another week has ended.

This is where I would usually be excited about the weekend, but there are other things on my mind. We found out yesterday, as Army Reservists, we won't get paid for out drill next weekend. Therefore, drill may be canceled all together.

Some people (Myself included) depend on that money to pay bills. I'm glad all of these congressmen can pay their bills since the screwed up our economy. I guess its always the little guys problem. I will always love my country, however, moving to Australia is looking better every day.

Anyways, here's my weekend, cut and dry:

Friday- Work, then the woman is coming over so that we can go shopping. She said I need to start dressing better to weddings and such. No more combat boots to weddings. No more being comfortable. Ugh, I hate dressing up for the most part, but I do look good in a suit. Lets see how this goes. I guarantee there will be at least one fight, because I'm hard headed and set in my ways.

Saturday- Up bright and early to hit the farmers market. Then to the gym. Wedding in the evening, then LSU plays.... Got to get to a TV to watch LSU lol...

Sunday- Gym, the maybe get a golf game in? We'll see. Might have to go to the storage unit and let someone in. We'll see if I have time for that.

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great one!!!

Thursday, October 3, 2013

Enough?

Happy Thursday! Whats that you say? Its almost the weekend? Hell Yea it is!!! Woo Hoo!

Well we are on day 3 of the Government shut down, and from what the news has been reporting, it could be a while before they get back in session. As of yesterday, we don't know if we have drill next weekend. Hmmm, maybe I'll actually have a free weekend? Don't want one, because I could use the money, but I won't complain too much.

Ok, so as of Tuesday, the state of Maryland passed some new laws. The first one is that talking on a cell phone while driving is now a primary offense, and so is texting while driving. I have to say that this one affects me. I do text and drive, but I am pretty damn good at it if I do say so myself.

The second one is All passengers in the vehicle must have their safety belts on. I always wear mine, however, who is the government to tell me what to do in this case. Its a personal thing. If you aren't wearing a seat belt, you aren't affecting anyone but yourself. If I am in the back seat of a car, and I feel like laying down or something, guess what, that's my choice. The government needs to back off...

Lastly, new gun laws have taken place. Assault style weapons are now banned. This is complete bull shit. Last time I checked, criminals didn't follow the law anyways. They are taking the guns out of law abiding citizens hands, and letting us become victims. This whole no magazines over 6 rounds is bull shit too. If I have a 6 round clip, and there are 7 bad guys, guess who wins? They say i have the right to protect my home by all means necessary, but they are taking the tools to do so out of our hands. It like saying, you have the right to build a deck on your house, but here's some nails and a screw driver....

Well, that's all I really have for today. Think about what this state is starting to do to us. I know I'm not staying much longer. How about you?

Have a great day all!

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Here we go again

Happy Wednesday! Yes that commercial is  still going around so I'm still not recognizing it as hump day.

Day 2 of the government shut down.... I feel for everyone who is affected majorly by this. I am affected a little bit, but its mostly things I can manage without, like the commissary, barber shop on post, PX, Etc.... People were laid off from their jobs, so I really have no reason to complain!

Well, I had yet another early morning of gym time and making myself look like a stud. Maybe a stud is the wrong way to put it... I'm making myself less round. 170, here I come!!!

Well, that's all I really have for today! I hope everyone has a great one!

"Lose Yourself"By Eminem
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spat out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

[Hook]

Government Stupidity

Hello All.

Happy Tuesday.....

For most people, last night you went to bed with a fully functional government. This morning, however, at 12:01am our government deemed it necessary to shut down for the time being.

Why you may ask? Well mostly, because they can't get their heads out of their asses.

Before I go any further, let me remind you that yes, I know what I have sword to defend and uphold. This is my opinion, and nothing more.

OK, back to the important stuff. Our government works 3 days a week most weeks. Don't believe me? Congress is in session Tuesday through Thursday, unless there is something important going on, IE, a budget... Now, Democrats will blame this on Bush somehow, and Republicans will blame this on Obama. Guess what? It is ever damn elected official we have. If they are in office they should have worked harder.

My question is this. Why are we even talking about new government programs if we can't afford the old ones? This isn't a debate on Obama care, but how in the hell are we going to start something new, if we can't fix the current fuck ups we have? Seriously, shelve the damn thing, figure out a budget, then revisit the problem. Our government has completely let us down, and nobody is outraged enough to start voicing their opinion.

Don't think this closure will affect you? Guess again:

-If you live on a military post, You are no longer shopping for food or anything else on post. Commissaries, Px's, Class VI's, MWR, Gym's, etc. All Closed down. Nobody to run them. You're still working and getting paid though, and that's a good thing.

-Vacation coming up? Your not going to any National Park, Monuments, Historic places, etc. Yes, that's right, Battlefields are closed. Statue of Liberty, closed. All Smithsonian buildings, including the Zoo, closed. Grand Canyon, closed....

-All Va programs are closed... Old Va claims and health care will still be open, and managed, However, new claims will be delayed.

-Trying to buy a house with a government program? Guess what? Not until the Government opens back up...

This is just a few of the things impacted... The Government has really screwed the pooch on this one... I hope for all of our sake that the shutdown is only for 2-4 days like the news keeps saying, but in the end, who knows?

Have a great day all! I hope this doesn't affect you...

Accident Prone....

Happy Monday All! Looks like we have all made it through another weekend somehow! My weekend was fun, and this is where I will tell you all about it!

Friday- Started off working, then it was home to hit the gym before I went to the Football game and Class reunion. Went to the football game and met up with a lot of old friends. I mean shit it was part 1 of our class reunion. Middletown ended up shutting out Walkersville, in what was a complete blowout. The games are never as close as they used to be. After the game it was off to Hollow Creek to have a few drinks with old classmates and meet up with some friends. Had a great time talking to people that I haven't seen in years.

Saturday- Woke up bright and early to go get the Emissions done on the Mustang. Like always it passed. Then it was time to go to the team poker championship up in Waynesboro, Pa. My team lost, even though it really wasn't to any fault of our own. We got bad beats across the board. Oh well, shit happens. Well, being completely exhausted, I decided that I was going to go home and recover from the night before and watch my favorite college football team (LSU).... They lost.... Not a great way to end a day....

Sunday- Woke up early and hit the gym. Then grocery shopping at Walmart. Finally, I went home, locked myself in the house and cleaned and watched football. I wasn't feeling too well, so this was the best thing for me, I think.

Well, that all being said and done, it was a fairly eventful weekend. Good times with friends both new and old!

On another note: I may have done some damage to my shoulder. Its been hurting a lot lately, and I am pretty sure I pulled it while doing Sit-ups about a week ago. I think in my old age I am becoming a little accident prone. Figures, one ailment is getting better, and then I spring this one on myself.

Well, I hope everyone has a great week!!!! I know I will!

Friday!!!!!

Happy Friday All!!!! Here it is! The end to yet another week! Does it seem like life is going by too quickly? or is it just the right speed for you?

Well, this weekend is going to be pretty busy. With no further wait, here it is:

Friday- Work, then gym, then part one of the MHS Class of 98 Reunion. We will all be at the football game tonight to see Middletown take on Walkersville. Afterwards, Its on to the bar to hang out for a little while. Don't worry, I'm only drinking water!

Saturday- Up bright and early to get a run in, then I have to go get the emissions done on the Mustang. Afterwards, I have a team poker tournament to be in. I sure hope we win lol. After that, its off to part 2 of the Class of 98 reunion. This time we are at the park, enjoying good times! During the day I will be checking in on the LSU vs Georgia game. LETS GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Sunday- Gym.... Then Cleaning.... Then hanging out until I go to a friends son's birthday party. Should be a good time. Its always fun hanging out with good friends.

Well, that's my busy ass weekend. I hope everyone has a great one themselves!!!

Where are you at?

Happy Thursday All! Well, we are getting ever so close to yet another weekend! This weekend is going to be a fun filled one, hopefully seeing people that I haven't seen in years.

Where is everyone? The views on the blog have decreased significantly this month. I was getting 50-75 views a day, but the last week or so, its been between 20-30.... Come on people, Read up! Lol, Just kidding.

Well, last night during Physical Therapy, My therapist recommended that tonight be my last night of instructor led therapy. This is after only a little more than 3 months. The recovery process was supposed to be 1 year from the date of surgery. I will have to do all the exercises and such on my own for the next 3 months or so, but even at that I am six months ahead of the game! Go me!!! This means a few things:

1) I save $45 a therapy session, which equals about $360 a month! I can pay off bills early and actually afford things again! Woo Hoo!

2) I will have more time for my workouts, and I'll be able to work in therapy with my other leg workouts as long as I don't push myself too hard. That means, more track running, longer cardio sessions, etc. I have a PT test to start getting ready for.

3) This proves that I can do anything physically possible. Forget a Dr's schedule, I like my own damn schedule. I guess he didn't get the memo about telling me I can't do something... I'm superman Damn it!

Well, that's all I have for today! Physical Therapy tonight, then home to sleep! I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Late Post

Well, Happy Wednesday, Its been a shitty morning and I'm running behind, so here's an old post. Enjoy:

First published, September 2012:

Well Happy Friday All!!!!! Its here! Yet another busy weekend that will find me at the Moose Lodge for yet again, most of the weekend! I seriously think I spend more time there then I do at my home. Its OK, we are doing good there....

Well today I started thinking about things people have told me or said to me in the last 32 years or so. Well I would like to tell everyone a little bit about them, I may ramble, and there may be no point to this essay, but eh, its what I feel like putting on paper.... That all being said, you have been warned, enjoy....

- I am a very bad person- Well I wasn't quite sure what this person meant by this back in the day. Some of the things I USED to do may have been questionable, but like the name of this blog, I regret nothing. I did what I did, and I learned from it. I actually think I am a very good person, sort of a Robin Hood type, because I will defend everyone that needs it.

- I am a manipulative bastard- Oh boy, the things an ex says while angry. I don't manipulate, I suggest, you have your own mind, use it.... I wont hold it against you. Part 2, I know my father so this entire statement is just false.... Sometimes you just have to laugh at the things people say.

- You are really good with words- I have heard this a few times. I'm sort of like a championship football game with words. Looks great on paper, but sometimes the game in real life is sort of blah. I can promise you one thing though, everything I say is extremely truthful, and always from the heart.

- You are just a Teddy Bear- Yea a Teddy Bear that will rip off your neck and shit down the hole it created. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I have my skills and I know how too use them. I would much rather talk my way out of a fight, then throw fists. However, if the need arises, I know how to use them.

- Your a firecracker- OK, so sometimes I have a bit of a temper. I have been working on this very hard the last few years. The only time I get really bad is when I am in my car and have to deal with dumb people who can't drive. Problem with that is my commute every day (To and from) lasts from anywhere between 2 and 4 hours... That's a long to be in a car angry,,,

- Your too quiet- If you are saying this too me theres one of two reasons. 1) You don't know me, because all of my friends know that I hardly ever shut up. or 2) I just don't like you. Now there are certain times when I am extremely quiet, that's first thing in the morning before I have had my coffee, when I'm tired (talking takes energy you know), or if I am looking at something that doesn't require words (Sunset, beautiful scenery, hot woman at the bar, etc. you get the point).

- You are afraid of Redheads- Hmmmmm, redheads...... OK, so this one is a little touchy. I'm not afraid of them. I just haven't found a hideous one yet. They are my kryptonite, and I get a little tongue tied when I am around them. It happens. I am getting better at it. However, some redheads are evil and need to be dealt with accordingly (just kidding). I have gone out with gingers before (most of which were bottle red). It happens, everyone gets an equal opportunity.

Well that's all everyone! I hope you have a great weekend!!! I know I will! Remember you only live once, make the most of today, because you aren't promised tomorrow!

Witty Title Here

Happy Tuesday...... Well sort of.... I am getting sick, so I'm slightly on the miserable side. I keep trying to remind myself, "Hey, be happy you're alive" but theres only so much of that you can handle when you feel like complete doo-doo...

Well, I started my diet back up last week. I lost 3 lbs, which isn't horrible being that I ate like complete crap the last few days. I guess all of the gym time is finally paying off. I go twice a day. Its always some type of lifting in the morning, and Cardio or physical training in the evening. I take Mondays off, and on weekends I fit everything into my morning sessions, since I really have nowhere to be in the mornings.

I haven't drank in over a week... I'm really only doing it to lose weight faster, because I know how much it helped last time. I feel pretty good in that aspect, and my wallet is a little more fuller because of it. Too bad all that extra money goes to healthy groceries and bills.

That brings up another point... How is America supposed to get out of this fat epidemic if all the healthy food is way more expensive then fast food? It is so convenient and cheap to just hit up McDonalds and Sheetz on your way home. No cooking, no preparing, just order, pay, unwrap, and eat. Too Easy!!!! Now-a-days, all of that grease makes me sick, but I can understand why we as Americans have a problem. Its just made way to easy on us. Maybe, instead of banning guns, they should outlaw Fast food joints. That would save people lives, cut health care, and stop making the great U.S. of A. a statistic....

Well, that's all I have for today! Have a great one!!!

Absolutely Nothing

Happy Monday All!!!! Well, it's the start of yet another great week. If you are reading this, Congrats, you made it through another weekend. Grasp it.... Some people aren't so lucky, so no bitching that its Monday. Its just another day, earning a dollar, and pushing towards that next day off!

Well, that all being said, this weekend I did absolutely nothing.

Friday night, I sat around and caught up on my DVR'd shows.

Saturday, I Went shopping in the morning, went home and watched a little TV, then did some grocery shopping, then finally, I sat down and watched LSU win yet again. Next week will be a tougher test because they play Georgia. Lets GEAUX LSU!!!

Sunday, watched World War Z, then watched football all day. The Jets and the Saints both won yesterday, bringing them to 2-1 and 3-0 respectively. The Jets are keeping all of their games pretty close though. However, there is still a very long season ahead!

Oh yea, I also went to the gym on both Saturday and Sunday. Gotta keep up trying to make myself look good!

Well, that's all I really have for today! I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Not Friday the 13th

Happy Friday All! Well, its been a week since Friday the 13th, is the bad luck over yet? Well, I can't say that mine has really changed, just the world around me with the WNY thing and all. Seems like everyone is slowly recovering. Pray for the 12 lost and 8 injured.

Well, since I seem to be coming down with a slight cold, I am thinking this weekend will be unbelievably relaxing. Gym, cleaning, classes, and Netflix. Ahhh, Haven't had one of these weekends in a while.

So how is everyone doing? My phone and Facebook have been very inactive lately. Seems like everyone is busy. That's a great thing, maybe people are spending a little time outside, instead of on the computer all the time. I hope everyone is living life like it their last, because you never know when that will be!

Well, that's all I have for today! Have a great one!!!

Thursday

Happy Thursday All! Another day in paradise here, and we are getting ever so close to another day of relaxation. I can hardly wait.

I can't remember the last time I sat at home and did absolutely nothing. Obviously I am going to do the normal cleaning and homework, but other then that, nothing on the schedule. Its supposed to rain, so I won't be golfing. Can we say "Hello Netflix"?

I'm on day 4 of trying out these contact lenses. They are getting easier to put in and take out, but I'm still not sure if I like them. another week and a half and I can discuss it with the Dr. Hopefully, I will be used to them by then, and I won't need to go searching for glasses.

Other then Monday, Its been a fairly quiet week. Almost too quiet. I'm not even getting as many texts as I usually do.... Weird....

OK, that's enough for today. I'm gonna go and eat some breakfast. Everyone have a great one!!!

"Piece Of My Heart"
by Janis Joplin

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah!
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!

Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Seeing Semi Clearly

Happy Wednesday All!

Well, Since yesterday was a "Special" post, Today we get back to Sam's life.

Monday, I went and got contacts fitted. No, I usually don't wear glasses, but I have noticed my vision gradually getting worse over the last few years. Well.... So far, I don't like them. I can never tell if they are in right. They help me see a little better, but I think i may just switch to glasses. I'll give them the 2 week trial period, so maybe I'll change my mind.

Yesterday I started back on the diet. I didn't really go too far off of it, but I really want to lose a few more pounds, and bulk up at the same time. First thing first, I have to get my endurance up so that I can pass my PT test. I have until April to get it done, but I would like to get it done a lot sooner.

I think I may go to the Middletown football game this Friday night. Anyone wanna come with me?

Well, that's all I have for today. I hope everyone has a great day!

Coward


Tuesday....

17 September 2013....

Let’s have a moment of silence for the 12 people who died yesterday....

.....

Ok, now let’s discuss what happened.... I will not glorify this coward; therefore he will be referred to as "he", "coward", and "asshole".

Coward walks into one of the most secure buildings on the Washington Navy Yard. One of which I have been in many times, and that the company I work for has people in or around nearly every day. He opens up fire on innocent civilians. He kills 12 at last count, maybe more.

Now let’s look into this a little further. The gun control lobbyists were already talking about how if we had tighter gun control laws this wouldn't have happened. Well you are wrong, and stupid. Washington DC has the toughest gun control laws in the country. PERIOD. He bought a shot gun in Virginia, a weapon that has never even been mentioned of being banned. On his way into the Navy Yard, he was carrying the shot gun only. He was stopped at the gate. He killed the guard and took his 2 weapons which were: AR-15 (M-16, it was a military weapon, and its the same damn thing as an AR-15), and a pistol. So are you going to stop guards from carrying weapons too? Get over it Morons!!! This isn't a gun control problem, this is an idiot problem.

Maybe if more people were armed, he wouldn't have been able to kill so many, because I mean seriously, if someone is walking past me in the Navy Yard with a long rifle or shot gun, I'm going to stop them and ask questions if I'm armed. He would never had even gotten to the building, and would have been killed far before 10 others were killed.

Another thing, News outlets are a bunch of freaking idiots. There was so much false information going around yesterday, that they had to retract over, and over again. How hard is it to give out facts? If you don't know, don't put it out!!!

Yesterday, the news agencies were also criticizing how quickly the asshole was killed....

Fact: For every second a shooting is not under control, 1 person could die.

I think killing him was the best option. Who cares if we know why he did it. We are saving a lot of money here. No trial, jail time, or anything else. Set a fire and throw the son of a bitch in the Potomac River. See that, we can save a ton of money without switching to Geico. Worst case scenario is it costs us $1.00 for an M-16 round. Yup, I'll pay $2.00. This is how all of our horrible criminals should be taking care of. Think of the savings!

Well, I'm done with this. May the 12 brave souls rest in peace. You are all in our hearts and prayers....

Wow, What a Weekend!

Happy Monday All! It's a start to another beautiful week. Are you ready? Did you get all of your energy back? I know I'm ready for the week. How about you?

Well, here is my weekend.  Lots of fun, but not too much out of the ordinary.

Friday- Worked then went to Walmart. Like usual, I spent entirely too much money, but it was all stuff that I needed for the house. Then I went home did a few Army classes, and went to bed fairly early. Damn, i felt old that night!

Saturday- Up bright and early for the gym. Then it was time to head home and get ready for the Wedding. The wedding was a little over a 2 hour drive away, So we left about 1pm. Got there at about 1530. Wedding was supposed to start at 1600, but the bride had technical difficulties, so it ended up starting around 1700 or so. We had a great time at the wedding, and met some pretty awesome people! Congrats C and R! I wish you both many happy years of marriage!!! At around 2100, it was time to head home. After stopping for coffee, we ended up home at around 2330. I think it only took me 5 minutes to fall asleep! I was exhausted!

Sunday- Woke up fairly early, so that I could clean the house. Well, after cleaning the bathroom, I thought I would take a break and do some classwork... Well, that didn't happen. I text my buddy, and met him down in Charles Town at the Casino. I played some table games, won some money (I now love four card poker), then we ate dinner and watched the football games at the sports bar. Good times.

Well, that was all for my weekend! Tonight I get to go and get my vision checked. Fun stuff. Lol!

Have a great week all!!!

Friday, September 13, 2013

Bad luck?

Happy Friday everyone! Well, its Friday the 13th, do you believe you'll have bad luck? I believe that its Friday, and what could possibly be bad about it?

Well, this weekend is going to be packed with stuff that I have been putting off. Here is the snapshot on the weekend:

Friday- Work, then home to give a buddy some liquor that has been sitting in my refrigerator. Then its off to Walmart for some grocery shopping. I am ending my night with Army Classwork all night. For those that don't know, The Army has Correspondance courses that give us promotion points. I figure if i can knock a few of these out, I'll be good to go. The more points the better!

Saturday- Gym at 0700. Then change the oil in the car. Then its time to get changed and looking good for the wedding. Long drive, but well worth it. Congrats to the happy couple! I'll probably be home pretty late from that since its two hours away.

Sunday- Gym at 0700 again. Then its yard work, and cleaning the house. Afterwards, I am going to relax, and maybe do a few more classes.

Well, thats all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thursday, September 12, 2013

Last day

Happy Thursday All!

Well, last night was my last night drinking for a while. It was my roommates going away party. Even though I didn't drink too much, I still think its time to stop for a while. It will help me in weight loss in the long run.

Everything in life is going good now. Like always, there are things that I would like to change, but I'm working on it one step at a time. Life is all on how you look at it.

Well, short post today, I was running a bit behind this morning. I hope everyone has a great day!

"You Don't Know Her Like I Do"
by Brantley Gilbert

Hey old friend, thanks for callin'
It's good to know somebody cares
Yeah she's gone, but I don't feel like talkin'
It might be just too much to bear
To hear somebody say it stops hurting
Or to hear somebody say she ain't worth it

'Cause you don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
You don't know we've been through
That girl's my best friend
And there's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I've got to lose
You don't know her like I do

I can't forget, I'm drowning in these memories
It fills my soul with all the little things
And I can't cope, it's like a death inside the family
It's like she stole my way to breathe
So don't try to tell me I'll stop hurting
And don't try to tell me she ain't worth it

Cause you don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
You don't know we've been through
That girl's my best friend
And there's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I've got to lose
You don't know her like I do

You don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
You don't know we've been through
That girl's my best friend
There's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I've got to lose
No, you'll never know how much I've got to lose
You don't know her like I do

Not like I do
Never understand
That girl's my best friend
That girl's my best friend
That girl's my best friend.

September 11, 2013

Wednesday, September 11, 2013....

Its been 12 years since that day. A day where we lost almost 3,000 people. A day a few cowards hi-jacked four planes and crashed them into our structures of business and freedom. A day that we will all never forget.

Today, remember those lost. Remember the soldiers that have been lost since. Remember that the war was not started because of oil, or who we didn't like, or wanted to take over. It wasn't started because of some conspiracy. It was started because of an act of terrorism on U.S. soil.

Today, as every day in the past has been we remember the 12,000 angels looking down at us. We, as Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coasties, defend them, and remember them every day. We fight for the freedom that others are not allowed. We fight, and we remember why we fight even though others have not. We put our lives in danger, so that other do not have to.

We remember, Do you?

Never Forget.....

Have You Forgotten
by Darryl Worley

I hear people saying we don't need this war
But, I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And we vowed to get the one’s behind bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

Mindset

Happy Tuesday All! I hope every one's week is going smoothly. So far so good on mine!

Well, as I have documented in the past, I was very fat at one point in my life. Its an ongoing battle that I will win in the end. However, no matter how much weight I lose, I will always feel fat. I knew when I was recovering from surgery that I was going to gain weight, because I couldn't physically do anything. My problem is, how do I get it into my head that I'm really not as big as I think I am? I have this feeling that even after I hit my goal of 170lbs, that I will still feel fat. Don't worry, that is the absolute lowest I'll go, but when will my mind catch up to my body?

I also go through my moments of where I think I haven't accomplished nothing. Yes, I realize that I have accomplished a lot in my life, but theres so much more. I am a successful person. I'm not really that old yet, but what is my next step? Where do I go from here? Do I stay in Maryland? Do I look for something else? Money isn't everything, but it sure does help. More decisions to make, but when will I know what is the right one?

Well, that's all I have for today. Obviously, I have a lot of thinking to do...

"The Booze Cruise"by Blackjack Billy 


Old boy Goose bought a new pontoon
Roll out now hit the lake by noon
You bring the drinks and I’ll crank the tunes
Get some hot sun
Jeep full of girls couldn’t get no hotter
Flag em down holler won’t you foller
There’s a party floating on the water
It’s going down right now
Come on jump on

The booze cruise
summer groove
I wanna see your booty move
Looks like you need anotha
So let me mix you up a Redneck Margharita
You know the one just straight tequila
All aboard we’re cutting loose
So come on jump on
The booze cruise

Don’t need bait no line because
We just catchin us a buzz
Pass around some of that good stuff
Till dawn it’s on
Joe got drunk and fell in the lake
Ray passed out but make no mistake
Any minute now he’ll wake in bake
Burn it up turn it up
Come on jump on the

The booze cruise
summer groove
I wanna see your booty move
Ooooh so many hotties
Who wants to take a body shot off a string bikini
We call that a hillbilly martini
All aboard we’re cutting loose
So come on jump on
The booze cruise

Look at headlight Lisa with a Jaeger Bomb
Done lost her mind done lost her top
Walkin round looking for one flip flop
Goodness she’s a hot mess
Donnie’s daughter she’s sweet sixteen
He’s madder than hell cause she was last seen
Jumping on the back of some boy’s jet ski
That girl done flew the coupe
No telling what you’ll loose

On the booze cruise what kind of liquor makes your gushy move
Y’all let me mix you up a Redneck Margharita you know the one just straight tequila
Good Lord all aboard
