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.

About Me

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.

Look, I'm being nice

Happy Thanksgiving. Yep, I remembered it. If I wasn't here I know where I would be in the morning. Same place I was last year, getting ready to climb up that Mountain with Ray. I know where he will be. Now, theres no telling where Twister will be, he is supposed to be using that tree stand I rebuilt last winter though. I know where Mike will be.

I posted a picture...boots and all , but, Blogger is not showing it. Dunno...It's an imperfect world.
As well, I've been an imperfect blogger. I know, spelling and grammer, but, I have a post in draft and since I've been imperfectly sick, I've not finished it.

I was doing post checks about 0130 the other morning. I saw a shooting star, but, the Iraqis distracted me from making a wish...

in order to keep from being classified as a heathen...

Have a blessed Thanksgiving over there--shooting stars across the desert sky are special.
