Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

VIA THEO SPARK: GENERAL VO NGUYEN GIAP

GENERAL VO NGUYEN GIAP
From Theo Spark at Last of The Few.
Just a snippet but Giap said we had the NV beat. All we would have had to have done is kept on bombing Hanoi and Haiphong.
We did not loose in the field. We lost in our own capitol. The likes of kerry, fonda, that fat drunken teddy kennedy and the like lost that war.

very interesting. A brilliant man this Giap. We are seeing the same thing today. A know nothing biased media is perhaps poisoning this nation from within. The art of real journalism is dead I do think. A real journalist digs for the fact much like a good detective and is professional enough to leave personal opinion and bias out of it. There are very few of that breed left. Instead we have pussies (no other word will do) like Olbermann, Mathews, Maddow, Couric, etc. damaging the morale of the nation.

Well, dang. Not again...

But I suppose it's the thought that counts, right?

I will not go down and tell my children I didn't have the courage, the conviction, the commitment or the character to fight for this country...Don't go home and let your children down~~ LTC Allen West
