A pause to remember...

You are sitting down doing work and a thought comes in your mind and that leads to a great memory. So you take the time to enjoy that memory. It is nice taking the time out of your busy day to sit and reflect of those past memories that made you happy; even the ones you hoped to forget. In our busy world now no one just takes the time to reflect about their past. If you are not on a computer or a smart phone we get lost. A good memory can wash great feelings over you or make you realize that mistake was really a learning experience. So thought the day take a moment and think of YOURSELF.

I am back so be ready for new blog updates.

U.S. Troops Fleeing A War

Just read an interesting article about current Iraq was deserters. They are fleeing to Canada for asylum, thinking that in the past the Canadian government opened its doors to US deserters for the Vietnam war that they will do it again. Well Canada is turning theses deserters back around and shipping them back to the U.S. I mean, I can understand that some people do not agree with the war in Iraq or how our administration is handling the issues. People are dying over there; a lot of them are kids. The US military is a “VOLUNTEER” service. No one is forced to join the military, you make the choice to go to a recruiter and sign up to be a part of the military. Whatever the reason you had to join, YOU made that decision. You are not signing up to service when times are good and you agree with everything you are being told to do. Anyone in the military knows that most of your job you do not agree with what your superiors all the time. But you do the job; you do not desert, especially in a time of war. As a military service member you have an obligation to your service, to your country and to yourself to continue to do your duty until your contract is up. When you have fulfilled the obligation you yourself sighed up for, leave the military. That way you can go on to do a job where you will agree with the decisions that are made 100%. It is just embarrassing when they are justifying why they deserted. There is no excuse; you made the choice to join an organization that goes to war. There was no draft for Iraq, all volunteer. I am not saying going over to Iraq is easy, it is hard. That is why the US military is voluntary; we do the hard jobs so others do not have to. Military service is a pain; you leave your family and are in conditions that normal people would find horrific. But many men and women stick it out and do their time. Many decide to stay and make a career out of it. There is no justification to desert, to turn your back on your country and the men and women you have trained with. Canada will not take you and you do not want to be in America, why don’t you try to go to Iraq, I am sure that will take deserters.

SO SO TIRED

Is it me or is anyone else so tired about hearing about soldiers dying in Afghanistan? Now they (US Prez) want to send more people over there. WHY? Hasn’t this “war” gone on long enough? What is the purpose? Why are we over there? We are losing troops and we are not even really committed to fight the “war”. It is not even classified as a declaration of war. The world wars were wars. We were trying to stop nations from taking over and we were committed. It took one big as bomb but they got the point. I am not saying bomb Afghans, yet, but come on go in and take charge USA. We are the super power of the world and we can not get one nation under control. Has anyone ever thought that maybe they do not want our help or need it? That left alone they might destroy/fix themselves. I know Sept11 can happen again if we do not eradicate the kinds of elements that are hiding out in Afghan so we need to monitor the situation and not have our men and women dying for a cause that has no end. Go in and kick some major butt or bring our guys and gals home….

MY NATION

Ok, I have been living in the Nation’s capitol, that’s D.C. for you GED folks, and I have not seen all the sites yet. So I have decided that this mouth will be my “Tour de DC”. I will be checking out the sites and eating at some cool eateries. So look out for some fun filled adventures of me, touring the town of DC…

The safe bet….

I am heading for a cross road in my life where I need to decide on the safe bet in my career or venture out and try something new. One road I can do for another 15 years until I retire, but there is no challenge to it and my heart is not in it. The other I would love but there is so mush danger in doing. Will I have the job in 5 years, where will I start, will I be good at it. Just because I will love doing it does not mean I will be good at it. There are times in your life where your decision will affect you greatly and you need to decide if the safe bet is the way to go. The safe way will give you money in your pockets and pay the bills. Do you need to love what you do to survive? You can get by I think it all depends on how you want to get by. I know decisions like this define people and make them stronger IF they get through it. What if you are not as smart as you like to believe, or does not have that charismatic personality like you think you have, what if the job you love you just plan suck at it. All these risk factors play a huge role in choosing the right decision. ..
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one ….

I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT…..

Part two to my “HATER” series is Noisy neighbors’. This is coming from a 9-5 guy who would like to come home and be in his own zone without his neighbors’ music rudely interrupting. I know we all have our own little ways of having fun, unwinding, or just being yourself. But come on, when your music is so loud my pictures frames of shaking turn it down. I have been there young and just want to have fun, but have respect for you neighbors. If you are partying after 5pm on a workday turn the music down. You should get a job or do something productive but hey we all can not give back to society. You know your freaking music is so load you can not even hear yourself think, but you are a dumb ass so you do not think to turn the music down. So now you have an angry neighbor at your door about to break it down and you are mad. Dick it is your fault I am here. You might find your car keyed by me J Play your music but man keep it at a reasonable level. No one wants to hear all the base in your songs in there place. It really sucks when the music is something you do not even listen to.

If you’re Happy and you know it clap your hand……..

This will be the first part in my four part “Hating” issue. Yes I am a Hater and proud of it. One think that I do hate is skinny people. Not like people you eat a crap load and can not gain weigh but the people that go out there way to look as think as possible. I mean you people. I do not like you. You see guys and girls that look like they are wasting away. You need a little hip action going on or a little butt action. It helps fill you out. And no I am not an obese fat person. I work out more to keep my blood pressure low and not to lose weight. I know when summer time comes everyone wants to look their best for the beach or whatever. I am fine with that but hey people lets stop there. You do not have to be a size 0 to be happy. Guys if you are in your 20’s or over still wearing a small shirts hit the weights. I blame Celebs. You see them all looking skinny as hell and I know it is a lot of pressure to try to be them since that is what American society looks at for beauty status. WRONG. Celebs have trainers to help them look their best and they have the pressure of society to live up to also. A pressure that is so wrongfully given. For us normal people we think we have to look like Kate moss or Johnny deep but we do not. There are a lot more of us then them. Just be yourself. Why have to always be on a diet when you know you want to eat that Double Whopper meal. I am not advocating we all get fat, which is another issues. All I am saying is live a health land fun lifestyle and stop trying to be super thin. You are not helping yourself and you look ridiculous.

MY WAY..RIGHT AWAY

You know the motto of Burger King “Your way, right away”. It is kind of the saying for all restaurants if you think about it. If you want something with a little extra chicken in it they will put it in. Granted you may have to pay for the extra but gosh damn it if you want it your way you can get it. That is why it so gets on my nerves when I go to a restaurant and the waiter has so much attitude in taking my order, it sucks. I go out so I do not have to cook at home, spend time with friends, or whatever. I am paying for a service that the waiter needs to provide. I know being a waiter can be hard. Polices have really hard job also; just imagine if they decide to ignore their customers. I am not saying you can compare what a cop does and what a waiter does. If you decide that you need a job and being a waiter is the job for you, God bless you have your reason. But when I come to the restaurant I am not paying for slow service, no water, and a late check. Waiters need to come in smile there ass off. Serve the food in a timely matter and bitch later. I mean come on. You choose to work here so work. I know customers can be bitches but than that is another reason we go out to eat. We feel like Kings. Having someone wait on us after a long day of whatever is nice. So stop fucking it up waiters and do your job. More tips for you and a happy customer leaves.

SnowFall

It snowed here in DC on Monday. I took a picture of the outside weather just to show how cool it was and the amazing transition snow fall can do. I mean one moment it was cold and dreary and then a nice snow fall can change it all. I was relating this to life. How one day you could be having the worst day of you life and then a friend does something to lift your sprits. Things do seem like it can not get any worst, especially now. But there does come moments that will brighter you day and change you course for the better. Just like in snow go out and make something of it.
