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.

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.

Jello Boy Takes a Stand

Last night I was talking with Jello Boy. We hadn't seen one another in a few weeks. Both he and Mutual Female Aquantince went swimming at a local 'Racket Club". One of those indoor gym things...swimming pool and such. After swimming they went to the Suana(feel the heat!) where two men were having a loud conversation. Jello Boy and MFA walked right into it. The subject..."The Locals". "The Locals this...The Locals that." and "My kids are picking up the Local accent", frown. Jello Boy politely introduces himself and informed them that he was born and raised here. They became quiet and never spoke again.

We may be an odd bunch, but, no one is above us.
