What are you waiting for?
A wise person once said " The biggest regreats in life are the chances you dident take" I have to say that some big regreats in life then . There are so many chances that I could have taken, and even should have taken that I dident , Call it fear or just flat out stupidity , I find now that at 30 years old that I regreat not taking chances and doing so many of the things that I wanted to do but did not think the risk was worth it. Even some of the simplest things like going and hanging out with people, to do stuff that I would not normally do, but im sure would have fun doing, I would decide not to do because I did not want to take a chance with anything. I sat watching everyone I know take chances and go after the things they wanted while I had to play it safe and stay behind. Now I sit and watch everyone around me live while I watch. Is it too late for me ? or is there still time for me to pick up ther pieces and do something with what I have left ? Am I getting to old to take a chance on anything ?
I just dont know what the hell is wrong with this world. I have a friend that I have known since I was a kid his name is Josh. we did everything together as kids, and as teenagers, hell we even worked in the same places together, we did every job from fliping burgers to being Lifeguards on the beaches in Chicago, we grew apart as adults but still talked from time to time, go out grab some drinks. after september 11th we both signed up for the Marines we wanted to fight those bastards the attaced our country. He got in I dident I had too many health issues bad kiddney, asthma, bad knee form playing football they just would not let me join I just couldent hack it but thats ok I still supported the troops but thats another story. Josh was good at everything I dont recall his rank but he fought hard, he lost a leg while he was in Iraq a and came home a hero with his head held high because he fought for our country and had no regrets I wish I could have been there with him. He came home a hero, I sent him an Email last night asking if he wanted to come over for a cook out on Saturday with my family they all know him too him and I got into a lot of crap together as kids so my family knew him well, I got a response this morning from his brother, Josh, his wife, and 10 year old son were killed in a drive by shooting for nothing, the cops said it was some kind of gang initiation to get in they have to get jumped in by the gang or kill someone, so he killed a war hero and his family to be in a god damn gang. what the fuck is wrong with these people. I am so pissed I dont even have the words to say just what I would like to do to the person that did this all I can say is that it would be slow and painfull. I will always support our troops they are all heros and deserve the highest respect but shit like this makes you wonder what the hell they are fighting for sometimes. I just hope it is all worth it in the end I know that most of us are greatfull for what they are doing, they are doing what those of us at home cant do or in some cases wont do, but there are a lot of assholes out there that just dont deserve to have the freedoms are troops are fighting for. A hero and his family died for nothing.
