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!!!

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!

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

Is Change Good?

Happy Monday All! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I won't say mine was great, but it was, what it was.

I had reserves all weekend. I still love the Army, but it seems it is all going down hill. I'm not talking about Senior Leadership. I am talking about the new soldiers, and ones that think they know everything. When we are there for a reserve weekend, we have to get everything done that an active duty unit would have an entire month to do. Classes, paperwork, on-line training, drivers training, and finally job training all need to be done in a two day period. What does this all mean? It means that we need everyone, not just one or two soldiers to pull their weight. Everyone there signed the papers and there is seriously a lot to do.

A lot has changed since my last time in. Younger soldiers seem a lot less disciplined. They think they know everything, but really they know nothing. They want to come to drill out of uniform, and they want to be promoted. They think that just because they can pass a PT test, they deserve to be promoted, not taking into consideration everything else that goes into the military. They think coming into drill clean shaven, but sitting around and reading a newspaper will make them Command Sergeant Major. News flash kiddies, there is so much more to the life than just showing up. Theres discipline, theres personal grooming, theres being half way fit (at least enough to pass a PT test), theres knowing enough to know that you don't know everything, theres being accountable for yourself, theres classroom learning, as well as home computer leaning you need to do. All of this, besides knowing your job, are all parts of being in the military. You signed the papers, so that means that for 6 years, you will eat, sleep, and breathe the military process. Get used to it.

Well, I'm done for today. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Friends

Happy Thursday All! How’s it going? Today is a great day. Why you may ask? Just because it’s the start to another glorious football season! Also, it’s my last day driving 100miles to and from work this week. I can’t say it’s my last day of work, because I have reserves all weekend, and I basically don’t have a day off until next Saturday. I am perfectly fine with this. It’s what I signed up for, and I know how much I would miss it if I wasn’t a part of it.

Today, I want you to think about life. Think about your friends. How long have they been your friends? Do you still hang out with the same people you did in Grammar School? High School? College? People change, and I guess it is possible for people to not be the same after all the years that you know them. However, it seems like some of my oldest friends seem like distant strangers anymore. Not saying that it is a bad thing, people grow up, get married, have kids, have their own lives, it happens. Sometimes it happens too fast. I am very happy with the people I associate myself with now-a-days.

That all being said, I have really been trying to clean up my Face Book profile lately. I have 800+ friends on there. Yes, I do know almost all of them, but I really don’t know who to get rid of. I talk to most of them from time to time, but at the same time, I’m not sure who gets to know everything they need to by reading the blog. Hmmmm, Some things I may never know. What did we all do before social media anyway? Oh, that’s right; we all weren’t glued to a computer 24/7. I can’t say that I haven’t fallen victim to the same thing, but maybe it’s time to give our eyes a break from the screen….

Well, that’s all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great day, and If I don’t happen to write tomorrow, have a great weekend!!

Yup

Happy Wednesday All! I am going to refrain from calling it Hump Day until the camel commercial is no longer thought of. It was cool at first, but some things just get old quickly...

Its hard to believe that the week is half way over already. I have reserves Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so really I only have one more day at this job this week. Yay me... Its going to be a long weekend (and not in the good way).

Anyone have anything good planned for this weekend?

Well, I really have nothing to say today. I thought about going into a rant about crappy drivers, but I thought about it and decided to not get into it today....

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

"Weed With Willie"
by Toby Keith

I always heard that his herb was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don't knock it till you've tried it.
And I've tried it my friend.
I'll never smoke Weed with willie again!

Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Chorus:]
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can pour me some Old Whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckle Rose
The party was Huntsville, it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in

[Chorus]

Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes
I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high

[Chorus]

In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

What a weekend!

Happy Tuesday All! I hope everyone made it back to work OK this fine morning. Its another day in paradise, but I think I am more tired after this long weekend, then I was before, if you can believe that!

Well, this weekend was great, so here is what happened:

Friday- Went to work, then it was time to go home and Draft my Fantasy Football Team. After a few changes, I guess I am satisfied with my team. Here is who I got-

QB- Drew Brees, Joe Flacco
RB- Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, Chris Ivory, DeAngelo Williams
WR-Brian Hartline, Andre Johnson, Marques Colston, Jacoby Jones
TE- Tony Gonzalez, Ed Dickson
K- Matt Bryant
Def- Ravens, Saints

I am optimistic on this season, but lets just hope everyone can stay healthy.

Saturday- Woke up earlier to drive to Reading, Pa to spend time with my family and a friend. Ended up watching part of the Georgia game at Applebees over a few beers, then watched that game and the LSU game at the hotel. Lets Geaux LSU!!!!

Sunday- Woke up pretty early, ate breakfast at the hotel then it was off to Philadelphia for a few hours. Well, we had a set amount of things that we had wanted to do in Philly, however, we didn't realize how packed the city was going to be. Started off at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Walked around there for a few hours, then took the trolley to Independence Square. The line for the liberty bell was outrageous, so we just took pictures of it through the glass. Then we tried to get tickets for Independence Hall, and they weren't until 4:30pm, and I really didn't feel like waiting around 4 hours. So then it was off to Reading Terminal Market, where I was going to get a roast pork sandwich from the now famous DiNics. Yea, there was a 4 hour wait there too. So We walked down to where the car was parked and ate at a little place there. The food wasn't great and the service sucked. Oh well, win some and lose some. Then it was back to the hotel, where we went to the gym, hung out with the family, and ate pizza for dinner.

Monday- Drove back to reality....

Well, All-in-all, it was a pretty good weekend. Family time, good company, and a little bit of travel.

That is it for today! I hope everyone has a great week!!!
