Can you pick President Dumbya out of the above list?

Good morning fellow inmates! And for those of you who do not live in the US, Don't! At least not for the next four years!

So, what to talk about today?! I feel like yesterday's journal sucked ass, I think I am going to delete it. I have been a little out of sorts lately as I have been over tired, since I have today off I thought I would put a little more effort into this after a good night's sleep.

Today children, we are going to try and answer that age-old question:

Who The Hell Am I To Give Advice!?

That's really a good question as I have made more freaking mistakes in my life than I like to admit to. Of course, perhaps that is the answer right there. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. (trite! )

The thing is that I am simply here writing to you all and attempting to pass on some of the teeny tiny bit of wisdom that I have gleaned from my 36 years on this crazy orb we call Earth. Do I always make sense? Absolutely not! Am I always right!? NO! Do I have even a little bit of a clue as to what I am talking about? I hope so, but I am not always sure.

So, I sit here and I attempt to dispense what I have learned. I have learned a lot over the course of three marriages. Yes three. I am still on the third as I like to think I learned a thing or two from the first ones. You have seen some of the results of that 'education' if you have read any of my journal entries. Feel free to, it's not as if I am trying to hide them. Sometimes I think I might be a little tiny bit funny, but I usually am not. I shouldn't try actually. On the rare occaision I do say something truly funny, it is completely unplanned. So there you have it.

Other than that I have actually been all over the world. I have been to the following exotic, or not so exotic locales:
Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, El Salvador, Ecuador, Tortola, Curacao, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Cocos Island (the australian one), Okinawa, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Diego Garcia, Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, England, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and I have even spent time in a German airport.

What does that mean? I have no idea. It means I have been a bunch of places and seen a lot of different things. It means that we take most of what we have for granted. I have seen desperate poverty in the third and fourth world. I have seen people do stupid things to and with their bodies for money. I have been threatened by 'allies' for flying too close to their stuff. What does it mean - it doesn't mean shit.

We need to live our lives and do what we can to be good people. That is what I have learned.

Who am I to give advice, I am nobody, I am the guy who has been there, done that, and come back better for it. Do you give a shit? maybe, maybe not. Do I give a shit if you give a shit? not really.

Well fellow freaks and geeks, crazies and semi-sanes.

Have a day and let me know what you think of this insanity.
