Memorial Day

A moment of silence to ponder. A moment of awe as I again understand just what they have given . . . and why.

This world that we have forged . . .

Today I will celebrate by living out loud. I will leave my home . . . the property that my work and toil . . . and the sacrifices of those that defend this country . . . allow me to own. I will drive somewhere I want to, without asking anyone’s approval or getting permission to travel, to do something that’s not the slightest bit necessary and has absolutely no benefit to the state (not, by a government’s definition, productive).

I will do this because I want to. I will do this because I can. I will do this because over a long and colorful history my countrymen have stood to the mark, fought, and died to make sure that I could.

They died to make sure I could live . . . not merely survive . . . not just get by . . . not to serve the needs of the state . . . but live.

How could I do any less?

Thanks, and Godspeed.

Bored Beyond Belief….

I’ve got tons of things in my life that I’m excited about. Riding, writing, drawing, friends, lovers (well, okay, lover…the wife…but I’m still excited). Unfortunately, work…my career…takes up the majority of my time. Yeah, we all have to work for a living. I’d just like to be able to devote more time to the things I care about.

That used to be what I did…Yes, I’ve got to earn a living…but I found something I cared about to do to earn that living. Passion in all things, you see? That’s the only way you can be good at what you do. More >

Barbeque

I slept in a bit Saturday…spending all day Friday chainsawing (and laughing maniacally) took a bit out of me. More >
