SCENE I. France. Before Harfleur.

Alarum. Enter KING HENRY, EXETER, BEDFORD, GLOUCESTER, and Soldiers, with scaling-ladders

KING HENRY V

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of...

St. Crispian's Day Speech
William Shakespeare, 1599
Enter the KING
WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!
KING. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England. God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more methinks would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispian's day!
*I love Kenneth Branagh's version; used to have a cassette of the musical score for the movie*

Another nonsense and unimportant update.

I've been having a lot of ups and downs lately. I can't seem to stay happy for more than a couple of hours before I hit a really bad low. I have no idea whats going on, or what could be causing it. The only saving grace is that it isn't affecting my marriage or my job. I just hope...

I am now officially at the one week mark for healing, and it's going great. The only complaint I have is that I still can't walk normally, because of it bumping around in my pants, I'm really pleased with it, I still don't know what possessed me to get it in the first place honestly, but it's been exactly the kind of change that I...

Going out with a good friend to see a movie and hang out today. Looking forward to it. I'm starting to be in a better mood, which is a good way to start my week off work. Now if I can make it through the day without the piercing moving too much and causing me to walk funny in public I'll consider it a win/win.

Haha, you're welcome!

I hope your feel better, too. :3

Anyone willing to try and cheer me up? Got home after a 39 hour shift to and empty house that was a mess. I don't have it in me to clean it up and my wife won't be home for another hour....is it too much to ask she be home when I get off work if she isn't working? I miss her when at work.

Off to work once more. I hope everyone has a good weekend. Leave me some love.

Fingers crossed that my piercing makes it unharmed through most of the weekend at least.

I got pierced, Prince Albert. It hurt only for the actual piercing, and has been surprisingly fine since then. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

The weirdest thing at first is when you wake up tomorrow and there's blood all over the sheets...

Don't worry that goes away... usually after a few days

Other advice to a fellow Princer...

1. Buy purple sheets, you may bleed once or twice in the next few weeks.

2. Learn to automatically pee sitting down till you perfect the " Twist" so that you can do it drunk.

3. Try not to jack off till it heals completely... the risk of infection is from your hands. Plus, when you get that first erection after three weeks of pure abstinence it's AMAZING... seriously it's like heaven.

4. Let women know you have it before you get naked with them. Some women will be really weirded out by a P.A. It's best not to have that happen in bed.

5. If you tell guys...most will be REALLY weirded out. But, one day a friend will come up and shake your hand for letting him in on the secret.

6. Young boys in public bathrooms will stare at you... get used to it.
