What do you think?

Before I don't have enough time due to prepping for our trip, and not knowing how much time I'll have when we get to Texas, WOOHOO, I thought I'd leave a post...

Hi to all that may read this... Don't hate the poster. Cheer the deafening silent protest. I hope this doesn't get me TOSed. I think if the soldiers can 'form' their own sort of protest, I can post it! Hope the admiral wasn't looking! I must and do support our armed forces as I derive my freedom from their sacrifices. I can also have an opinion. I also prey that God watches over them all. I heard today that the death toll has reached over 1900 young and not so. With no end in sight! At no other time have so many troops been overseas since Viet Nam. It's also been a long time since more than 50% of our national guardsmen have been activated, during WWII! Should I be concerned for those between the ages of 19-26 that I know? Or don't? what's the only way to keep upwards of 100,000 soldiers there that long? When they have already been making plans for the years '07-'08, and working on '09 to stay in Iraq? A thing called the draft. Damn right I should! I just read that the white house, Rumsy and the pentagonions are throwing around a little thing called the draft. That's why I worry. I've been through the draft lottery, not fun. Ask that guy many of us call Mark. Would the powers to do it DO IT !? That's the billion dollar a day question. I only wish I had an answer...
OK, now that I got that off my chest, just think happy thoughts! That's an order!
OH, the weather guy 'down' there says its going to just be peachy! Maybe I'll get sunburned. Oh, can we afford to do this this year? That would be going to TX. Well we decided that with the freebies we're getting because of what happened last year, we can't afford not to go. It may be our last chance too. Watch out fishies! Love you all... Oh and Nick, take the job. How long can you wait for the perfect one?!

As I'm sitting here digesting my b-day dinner of sushi, I'm thinking back that just 48 hours ago me and my entourage were at the... stand back a bit... THE ROLLING STONES concert! Yes it was fantabulis, spectacular, and a blast! I saw them last around 1990-1992. It's been said for the last 20 years that each concert is their last. i think that as long as they're alive or their clones are still being made they're just keep rocking. it was loud but the scuttle but was that it wasn't just loud, but had added what I call thunder-boomers, or the advancement in broadcast technology. It was something to remember, and I will since they cut liquor sales off at fricking 9 PM! Damn you have to come with a buzz on if you want one! But thanks all, you too Mick, it was a blast....

PS...Do blogs have ps's? OK, how about an 'AT'... that would be an 'After Thought'. AT.. one of the Stones songs, which I've probably heard a hundred times since they released it. but in it's simplistic words I finally heard something profound or is it just a bit of wisdom if you will. So here you go...
You can't always get what you want... you can't always get what you want... but if you try sometime... then you will find, you will get what you need...

As some readers have left comments to my Aug post as to how can i win and lose at the same time... OK, i could go on and on but i shall not. I won in that i came out of it with my life and lost a lot of other things. Can these two be in an equal balance? The answer to that is something I'm sure i'll take to my grave to be answered in whatever the hereafter has to say to that. i won by meeting all kinds of people i may have not, me hopefully being the better for it.! i hope. the things i've lost are my ability to walk and do those things most of you reading won't be able to understand how one stays sane not doing what i used to take for granted. i do hope I'm still sane... Don't get me wrong, I've wondered and yes wished what if... but that gets you nowhere fast. i also met my Nancy! truly my earth angel. Would i have been happy to have my mobility back and never to have known her? In my opinion I never thought that Christopher Reeves had fully grasped his disability. hoping that he'd be saved by some miracle in stem cell research. [hey, maybe some day, but i don't think it'll be soon. He didn't HAVE to die either from what i understand. At least not from an infection from a bed sore. But that'd be another post now wouldn't it?
