Reflections

Throughout our life people come and people go. Some are hard to remember, some you can never forget. When we make a person a part of our lives we give them a piece of ourselves and often the give one of them to us. Children, friends, parents, siblings, lovers, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and wives. All leave their mark upon us. Some good, some bad. But each and every interaction has a role in shaping who we are and how we view the world. When these people leave our lives they leave behind that part of them with us, or a hole in us where they used to be. Sometimes we heal, and other times we cannot.  This does not mean that we should all become isolationists, but rather cherish the good in our lives for as long as we have it. Because life is fleeting, finite, and all too often filled with darkness and pain. Grab onto what makes you happy, fight for what’s important, and above all remember the odds of success should never…NEVER dissuade a man….a person of honor from fighting for what they believe to be just, true, and right.

Politics and musings

  My thoughts on politics lately     I know I said I was going to write about the  break-in  and I will...but this  is  really sticking in my craw and I  wanna  get it out.    Everyone knows I’m quite opinionated. I make no attempt to hide it.  Yet lately I have been dining on an extra crispy bucket of fuck it. I just don’t care. Most of us have descended into such brutal tribalism that we genuinely do not know where the country is headed.   So many things have been lost. Nuance being the biggest. It's kind of why I am a huge BNN fan. I do not condone violence in any way, shape or form. That said, no one and I mean no one can possibly be shocked about what happened at the capitol. If you are, you’ve been in a coma for the last 10 months. I find our perception colors our world view. Mutes nuance, and stifles conversation. The internet has given rise to a wealth of information and disinformation. Sifting through that to find the truth is a herculean effort on a good day.    You can l

Looking back....and forward?

Having had time to reflect I have seen things that while they hurt, are good things. Everyone wants to believe they are special, we're taught that from a very young age. The reality is quite different however. Unfortunately time and society has had a way in de-valuing people. Relationships crumble and people are replaced in quick turn, dating quickly... sometimes in as little as 8 days...lol. People pass on and it does not seem as catastrophic as it once was. We quickly call for the heads of people that weave outside the of the mob opinion. I have no such illusions as to my value. Were something to happen to me...life goes on. People would mourn, people might cry...some perhaps even celebrate. But would it be earth shattering? No...not so much. When your Wife replaces you before she packs even a bag...when your girlfriend lines up back-up dates before you break up....things like that have a tendency to knock one's ego down a peg or two. Take me and Tink (will not use th

An Answer...carryover from my other account...porting directly to this one now

For those seeking an answer to the question. Was I as bad as my ex, Tammy J. Tallant says? the answer is yes. i did cheat, I did lie, I asked other TO lie. I betrayed the trust given to me, and hurt someone who did not deserve to be hurt. Its a long drawn out sad story of what was, what could've been and what is. I will not get into the nitty-gritty details of her sins because I cannot control what or who she did at any point and time. The only thing I can do is answer for my own sins. Accept the lessons learned from them, and move forward on my path to be a better man.      There is no justification, rationalization, or excuse for the things I have done. Granted in guy fashion I very much tried to find them. I very much wanted to believe there was a reason for the wrongs I had done. There was one. I made a choice. I made a conscious choice to betray my word to a woman I said I loved & was devoted to. They are always the standard 'guy' things...fear, ego, selfishness.
