Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

Name:
Location: Brevard, North Caroilina

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

I'm still feeling rough

Last night after my post the fever came on with a vengance. I could hardly concentrate at all. So, no linking. I packed for Drill and it took me forever. The poor old cat(I have a cat and dog I love very much BTW) was on the couch next to me. I moved her and there was mucus on her back...Gross I know. I apologised to her.
After a rather miserable night I called in sick. I somehow need to manage to go get a hair cut, find out if I can car pool with one of my budies(He's been down east all week I don't know for sure if he's going straight there or not) Then riding with me can be bad for your health. I hope I feel so much better Saturday Morning. The Training Schedule is blank from my mind. And, I don't want to hear the constant "you look like shit". Cool, Jimmy Hendrix's "Voo Doo Child" is on the radio.

Any how, let me grab some gumption and get going.

I think your link is broke. The "random" button keeps taking me to army sites. Now I have the unfamiliar urge to load up a knapsack with heavy stuff, walk somewhere and shoot something...or clean something, I'm having a hard time with that part.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I hope you get to feeling better. Snotting up the cat can't be good.

"I couldn't concentrate hardly at all."

Should say: "I could hardly concentrate at all" or "I couldn't concentrate at all"
