This new format sucks. Why does a company have to mess with a good thing? Something that is enjoyable, etc. Yesterday I was so frustrated I just gave up doing anything on here because it was too slow. So needless to say I won't be renewing my subscription on here when it runs out in November I think it is. Since the weather is shitty here in good old Ohio again what 7 days of sunlight in 4 months? Anyway, I decided to read today since I can't go to Lowe's and get parts I need for the bathroom. Plus I have to file Taxes tomorrow too. Man I am going to be busy tomorrow and later today. Anyway the book I am reading is called "The Long Road Home, by Martha Raddaz. And I could like to say a couple of things about this it might show you dear reader about my political views although I am not the type of person who cuts peoples views off if they differ from mine.
Ok well this book is about a Company of Soldiers that go into Iraq, as you might not know I am a Veteran of 14 years and my wife is still in the Air Force. Anyway, just this sort of makes me mad and I am going to rant and rave so excuse me.
People who join the military do it for different reasons, however many of them find out that serving something greater than yourself is what it is all about. I don't mean this just in America either. Because I really feel that service weather military, for an NGO, a teacher, cops, firemen, etc. are the most important jobs we have and people who serve deserve everyones respect periord.
Anyway, putting a little fucking sticker on your car that says support the troops isn't supporting them. I think of it like this. The word LOVE is just a word. It means almost nothing anymore because I can say I love a lot of things but do I show it?
My point is people with those stickers and rally around the flag and all of that, when was the last time they visitied a vetrans center? Do they know what is a vetrans center. Do you know where the VFW or American Legion is in your town. (I have to say both of the latter have cheap beer and are pretty cool to drink there.) Now my point is words are not actions they are mearly words. I am not preaching to anyone on here to go out and do things for vets, all I am saying is if you say then do. Don't be ho humm about things, If you are against something in government like the war in Iraq then tell the US government, your congressman etc, It only takes a second to write them and tell them how you feel. Remember the United States is a government by the people and for the people. That means we as citizens of the US are the government (sorry for all those in different contries) That means we give the government the right to govern us.
Man I am talking crazy ranting and I should get out more, but I feel pretty passionatly about these things, Anyway, come friday I will be south bound on the Harley, I will take some pictures to post on here about my adventure. I put it out there if someone wants to go but I will be spending the weekend in Tenn and will be leaving from there. Maybe when I go down there next month to go to school, I am use to riding alone so no biggie. It sort of makes me thing I am the man without a name or something from the Clint Eastwood spagetti westerns!!!
Take care dear reader.

SG always messes with the layout like every 6 months and puts the whole site in an uproar, then everybody gets used to it and in the end its really not a bad thing. just takes some getting used to, though i wish they would warn us when they are gonna do this shit ya know?
