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.

Sick Tired Pissed and Wired

Coffee. I don't drink much of it, yet, this morning it tastes good. Cream and sugar, a peice of ice so I don't burn my precious lips.

My coffee mug came from a Casino that was in Biloxi. A boy I work with would go Golfing down there. Not any more.

Tuesday my not as smart as he should be Step Son came over. He's a real intelligent kid, but, he does dumb things. He told me he's getting ready to do a dumb thing. Now, it's my moral responsibility to talk him out of it. He wants to get married. He's 16. I was called back into work. Got off after midnight and back before 0800.
As I pulled off of my drive way yesterday morning Bosco got into a fight with a dog that had gone to see their kid off to the School Bus. It wasn't too rough and it broke up quickly, with the help of another dog. But, I was a bit ticked off at her for her aggressiveness. I was later than usual, I try to beat traffic. Well, darn near every dog in the community was on the road. They all congregate in front of this one house. It's the dog hang out. I had to stop while they all, almost acting embbarrassed, moved out of the way.

I din't sleep good last night. I think the caffine I drank through the day caught up with me.

To be continued...maybe

16 is way to young to be getting married. That is downright scary. My gosh he should at least finish school. How can he support a wife and can the girl support a husband?

Yikes!

If I'd have gotten married when I was 16 I'd be on my 3rd wife, not 2nd.

On the other hand, if I had married the first girl that, um, let me...well, you know, then I wouldn't have gotten married til I was 29.

Do your duty and give him "the talk". If he still don't listen, well you know you tried. Some rascals only learn by running headlong into a few brick walls first.

Anyway, that was my unsolicited advice.

Two questions though:
1. Is she cute at least?
2. What does her mama look like? (If she resembles anything that ends in "-zilla", take him to see his future. It's a gamble, but it just might work.)

Yeah, I have to give him the talk. He usualy resists this stuff. But, maybe he will listen to me. I can at least scare him. I'll tell him the facts straight up. He's going to finish scholl through home school. Best option.
her parents live away and she stay's with her grand folks. So. I don't beleive he has met in laws.

I wasn't grumpy. just matter of fact.
Going to see Son Volt play tonight.
