Every now and then, in the defense of my own sanity and to inform others perhaps that they are not alone, it becomes necessary to vent or comment on certain social conditions in the world. To set down in words my state of mind and soul. To inform, rant, enlighten and amuse...

An update on stuff...
So it's now been 10 months and 29 days since my accident. I am now mobile enough to walk and have embarked on a physical fitness routine which might guarantee my mobility, if I'm smart enough to stick with it in the future. There's a very good incentive.
I never knew it would be so hard to find a new abode, or that so many obstacles would arise for those properties that we actually wanted to buy. It seems like 'Groundhog Day' everyday. Still, I maintain some degree of faith that all of this will sort itself out eventually. I'm not going to get into moaning and dripping about how long we've been at this, as it serves no actual purpose and let's face it... it's boring as Hell.
I will however go so far as to say that 'it got old' a long time ago. My prospects are looking good for returning to work, albeit on a temp basis at first. It's still progress and I welcome it. I've been away from my peeps for way too long now. I think the sense of productivity that this would provide, would only be a good thing.
I have found out recently that my current physical limitations, will in fact be of a permanent nature. This came as somewhat of a blow, as I had been harboring the hope that I would someday be free of pain and more viable than I am now. I will manage to come to terms with this in time, if for no other reason than I have no choice in the matter. We as humans are far more resilient than we give ourselves credit for.
Okay... whining session over. Now to get back to a good old rant.
I am ex-Navy, but in all likelihood will be 'military' until the day I die. I served 21 years in Naval Operations, onboard ships, subs and shore establishments. I worked as a Radar Tech for 7 of those years as well. I am certified as a Harley-Davidson Technician by AMI (Daytona Beach) and am a pretty decent wrench. I am a motorcycle enthusiast. I have a low tolerance for injustice, religions, ignorance, stupidity, bullshit and political correctness.
I do love my country, murder-sickles, nature, travel, animals, well-made weapons and decent folk who have the spinal fortitude to stand by their beliefs. I have a special soft spot for those who are able to actually formulate their own opinions on things and not simply regurgitate what they've been told is trendy.
