Today it's your birthday..so happy birthday to you!

Yea, yea. It's my birthday. I was all enthused about it too until the day hath arrived. I dunno. I didn't sleep well lastnight. I was in pain but I'm not quite sure from what. Perhaps I was feeling my body age one more year. This then caused me to wake up in a fog and cranky. Then, I was late to work (no one noticed) and now I am sitting here trying to stay awake and get myself out of this funk. It's doesn't help either that I got a notice today telling my my health insurance is going up almost $100.00 because by turning 25 I changed age brackets. I make good money for what I do yet by the time the Government gets done raping me and my health insurance gets their sticky hands out of my pocket, I am left with about $300.00 less than what my gross income is. God Damnit that makes me angry. Eh, I am going to go sulk about it now.

The Few, The Proud, The United States Soldier

Today is Veteran's Day. This day means more to me that it ever used to. When I was younger, or really, as recent as High School, I didn't care. I mean, I always had respect for a solider but the day never really mattered to me. However, after 9/11 I took stock of my life and my beliefs. I figured it was time I took a position on things. "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything " as the saying goes. After stopping to think about what this day means, it started sinking in. A young man (or young woman) took time out of their life and served this Country. That means they stopped thinking of themselves for a moment and volunteered to take a turn at the "Watch Tower" if you will. Sometimes it was as simple as moving to another state (sometimes another "friendly" Country) and living in dorm like conditions for 4 years. Other times, like now, it means fighting for this Country. Fighting for your life and the lives around you with whom you are like family with. Fighting for this Countries Values and Beliefs, even if not all of them are your own. Most Importantly, you are fighting for the citizens of this Country and the one you are in. That to me, is worth taking a day and stopping to think about all the sacrifice. Some gave a lot, and Some Gave All. So, with that I'd like to say : To all Soldiers past, present, and future, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, and HAPPY VETERN'S DAY!!!

God Bless you and your Families!
