So it's been a few days.... sorry about that... get distracted easily. That's true another part is I'm not sure what to write. Though I don't think I could ever write anything life changing, to me writing changes my life. A friend is kind of got me blogging, but writing has been in my soul and nature since.... well I don't know. As far back as I can remember.
In light of me blogging and doing what I love and what makes me feel complete I think everyone should go out and discover what it is that makes them happy. Perhaps you're the one that loves the out doors and working. So go work and have fun. Life isn't meant to be lived not having fun or doing the things that we love. We get one shot at this life. Being powerful and having money is what a lot of people dream of, but is that what you really want? I could be happy in a little cottage in the woods with my animals and friends close by. Oh and my computer and a place to climb. :)
A challenge or a warning to those who may read this don't live your life unhappily. Find what you truly love and do it. Don't take no's for answers and don't allow your self to be the one that gets in the way. Generally that's what it is. Us. SO stand up to yourself and admit what you know is true... then you're on the journey to fun and happiness.
Your Crazy,

Once a Friend

What is a friend? two souls living in one body?.... wait that's not how it goes.... let me try again. One soul living in one body?.... nope one more time. One soul living in two bodies. Yep that's the ticket!
Since joining the military I've found that I've made some really good friends. Perhaps that's because in a society that holds self values and standards so low you need good friends to help you along and remember what you stand for. Where the darkest shadows lie there too will you find the brightest light. So perhaps the Military is breeding grounds for the most worldly people, but it is probably the place where you can find the most spiritual as well. Though friends come and go because heck it's the freaking military they're going to come and go, even for you civilians, remember a friend is someone that never leaves your heart. They made a change in you for better or worse. Once a friend always a friend... :) and yes you can quote me on that

For the First Time

This is in fact my first post... Thanks to a lovely friend of mine I'm now on here writing. So somethings that are a need to know. I'm a Marine, crazy, and fun loving. If I can go without shoes and not get in trouble you better believe I'm going to. I love the outdoors and I also love my family. Even those that aren't related in blood ;) (Lesly Hiatt!)
So I'm here in lovely North Carolina and I absolutely hate the bugs! I've never seen such strange... large bugs in my entire life. Granted Utah has its share of the weird, but not like here. I miss Utah though. Something about being surrounded by mountains makes me feel... safe? perhaps that's the best way to describe it.
Green is my favorite color by the way. And now I've run out of things to say about myself.... so tomorrow we'll actually start the ranting and trust me I'm good at it. Until later, peace
