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.

Tuesday

"Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites."
Thomas Jefferson

Tuesday

Fat Tuesday, Super Tuesday, Wall Street Not So Hot Tuesday. Too many Tuesdays...Today was Unseasonably Warm Tuesday here. I hope it's Obama beat the snot out of Hillary Tuesday. There is more diverse thought on the Republican side, Uncertain Tuesday. It's raining (Thank You God!) Rainy Tuesday. What Tuesday are you? There's no damn on line test for that!

Bohemian Like Me
I found an on line Bohemian test. Here you go! I answered five of five. Are you Bohemian like me? Or are you Heathen like them? If you want to continue and soul mate shop, that's up to you. I don't endorse the chic in the mini skirt.

Appalachiaism...Bohemianism...Living in Bohemian Hills!

Hey, sage, I meant to get by your place this morning, but, got hung up on something.

The storms are holding off for now, but we're getting some good rain out of it. I wouldn't mind if it did storm though. Lightening creates oxegyn. We could always use more of it.

R'Ed checking in from Bangkok. I'll be quick.

I like your "Be an indivdual" sign off. Reminds me of the saying "Remember, you're unique. Just like everybody else."

R'ed are you in Thailand? I am jealous, have fun and get a massage for me! Great quote by the way.

I had a hard time w/the Bohemian test as well. Too much trouble to register etc. I know I am a Bohemian and a Heathen, I am my own unique individual! LOL!

So App what do you think about Berkeley and the Marines. I am quite pissed, and I hope DeMint's resolution will pass. I wish someone would take care of the code pink psychos like ship them off to Iran, Darfur, any where out of the USA would work. They just ain't right as we say here in the South.

MEW, there is o need to register for the Bohemian Test. Just look for the test in the center of the page. Married people are scared to...See Thomas Jefferson's Coercion quote...Just kidding.

I'm not sure what the Berkly/Marine issue is about.

Hey...I took this test and it said I was a shallow lover....I thought it was supposed to tell me whether I was Bohemian or not!

It just said I was Bohemian. I took it again, it kept saying I was the shallow lover...Even when I changed answers. That's a shallow Bohemian Test. The last time I took it it said I was Bohemian as all get out.
