"Why can't you take it easy, man. You've worked hard all your life, you still got time to go wet a line and get to know your wife, or you can pick and shovel till you draw your final breath and we'll make sure your tombstone reads, 'he worked himself to death'

Work and worry, work and worry. Makes your hair fall out and your eyes get blurry. When you cuss and fret and work and worry. Work and worry, work and worry if you wanna leave leave this world in a hurry, spend all your time on work and worry...."

"We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decay and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

This song just reminded me about all those men who have died in Iraq and left behind wives and children. Who will take care of them? The same thought has crossed my own mind once or twice about the future. Do we have someone in our lives who will take care of those that we love?...

Buddy you and me go way back
Camp Lejuene, all through highschool and before that.
So I don't mind tellin you I'm scared to death.
The doctor is goin in on the 25th
It's the same thing my daddy had
Thank God they caught it fast.

But if something should happen
Stop in some time and say hello to Catherine
You and Marianne could always keep her laughing 
she's gonna need a lot of that
Take her out to a movie
It's gonna take sometime before she's back on her feet.
I know you think that I'll be fine and I'm talkin crazy
But there's always that chance
That's why I'm asking
If something should happen

Little Nathan's growing up so fast
This November he'll turn 10
He wants to play quarterback.
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But I may not get to afterall
He's gonna need someone to catch a pass
And to throw it back

If something should happen
Oh promise me you'll take that boy out camping
Throw a line out in the water every now and then
Answer any questions that he has
Maybe once he gets older
You can sit and have that first cold beer together
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known your my best friend.
That's why I'm asking
If something should happen

I hope I live until I'm 80
And I get to see my son get married
And have babies
And make a million more memories with my wife.
Yeah buddy I pray you're right
But if it's my time to leave
Could you watch over them for me?

If something should happen

Well, I am under orders to update this site, so here goes nothing...

It's been one heck of a week for me. I'd love to share it with all of you, but I'm not gonna. Quite frankly it's none of your business. Haha, well anyway, some great things happened for me this week and I'm extremely excited about it all and I can't wait to see what happens. But I will be patient, I promise. Ok?

So, Lt. Col Longo wanted to talk to me again about my desire to be in the Marine Corps. I don't know how he knew I was still pursuing that all, but somehow he did.Which means I'm further screwed as far as ROTC is concerned. Which I don't really care about, becuase I think I've finally come to the realization that I want to be a marine more than anything else. But it's still hard to finally take that step out of ROTC and into something new. I don't know what I'll do with myself with all the time I'll have if I'm not in ROTC. Maybe i'll devote it all to someone special...
