A SoldierI was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness…should I fall.
I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped…but most of all,
I have lived times others would say were best forgotten
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was…A soldier.

I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

Marching in unison
Heads held high
Singing the cadence of a soldier's pride

Learning what it takes to keep us free

Look God: I have never spoken to You,
But now, I want to say, "How do You do?"
You see God, they told me You did not exist;
And like a fool, I believed all of this.
Last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky;
I figured right then they had told me a lie.
Had I taken the time to see the things You made,
I would know they weren't calling a spade a spade.
I wonder, God, if You would shake my hand;
Somehow, I feel that You will understand.
Strange, I had to come to this hellish place
Before I had time to see Your face.

But I sure am glad, God, I met You today.

But I am not afraid since I know You are near.

Soldier Loses Leg in Iraq, Wife Enlists to Take His Place
Last Update: 12/07 4:48 pm
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - More than a year after infantryman Alejandro Albarran lost part of his right leg to a blast in Iraq, he still hasn't decided whether he'll stay in the Army.
"Right now, I'm leaning against it," Albarran said, looking ahead with distaste to a possible desk job.
But whatever he decides, Spc. Albarran, 20, won't be leaving Army life behind now that his wife enlisted to take his place among the ranks.
"After everything he's gone through - and he loves the Army - he kind of inspired me," said Janay Albarran. "I made him a promise that I would finish what he started."
So, while he underwent five-day-a-week rehab to recover his balance and strength on a prosthetic leg at an Army rehabilitation facility here, she learned to shoot a rifle and stand in formation in boot camp at Fort Jackson, S.C.

Original Poem, as printed in the December 1991 edition of "Leatherneck":
'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney, with presents to give
and to see just who in this home did live.
As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand.
On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land.
With medals and badges, awards of all kind,
a sobering thought soon came to my mind.
For this house was different, unlike any I’d seen.
This was the home of a Marine
I’d heard stories about them, I had to see more,
so I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.
And there he lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor in his one-bedroom home.
He seemed so gentle, his face so serene,
Not how I pictured a Marine.
Was this the hero, of whom I’d just read?

Squinting through the scope of a soldiers gun
Another iraqi militant on the run
Road side bombs and ariel flares

Massive killings in the streets
The bodies of hundreds on bloodied sheets
Kicking down doors raiding their homes
Tracking them in tunnels of darkness they roam
The hot summer sun is boiling our brains
Another soldier crys out in agony and pain
we swarmed and searched and found no nukes
this is a meaningless war and were ready to puke
How many more men Mr President must die
We know we are over here because of a lie
We miss our children family and friends
Bring us back home so we can live again.

but when I go to sleep I feel and I hear
the sound of the bombs and the feel of the terror
that grips you at night when you don’t know what’s there.
Eleven o’clock plus or minus an hour
your world explodes and the steel is a shower
of sparks and noise and screams and sirens.
I can’t even sleep even though I am tired.
When it’s quiet you wish it was loud so you’d know
that it’s over and then off to your dreams you could go.
Cause dreams take you away from the place where you live,
well usually they do but sometimes they can give you
reminders of people or places or things
that used to be living and loving and singing.
But sometimes the dreams wake you up in a sweat,
screaming silently and your pillow is wet
from the tears you were crying and didn’t even know it.
But fuck it…………..I told you
A SoldierSoldiers come in all shapes, shades, weights, sizes, and states of sobriety, misery, and confusion. He is sly as a fox, has the nerve of a dope addict, the stories of an old sailor, the sincerity of a politician, and the subtly of Mt. Saint Helen. He is extremely irresistible, totally irrational and completely indestructible.
A Soldier is a Soldier all his life. He is a magical creature. You
can kick him out of your house but not out of your heart. You can take him off your mailing list but not off your mind. Soldiers are found everywhere... in love...in battle... in lust... in trouble...in
debt...in bars and ... behind them. No one can write so seldom and yet think so much of you. No one else can get so much enjoyment out of a letter or clean clothes or a six pack.
A Soldier is a genius with a deck of cards. A millionaire without a cent and brave without a grain of sense. He is the Protector of America, with the latest copy of playboy in his back pocket. When he wants somethin

I hate to watch
Each time you leave
And I hide from you
How much I grieve
I know it's your duty
And you will go
But once you are gone
I will miss you so
I know you'll come home
As soon as you can
But right now you'll deploy
Like an honorable man
So I'll keep things together
Till you can come back
But, this is where you belong
Not some desert in Iraq
Yet, I do understand
Why you risk you're life
For that's a Soldier's job
And I'm a Soldier's wife

HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF

WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS, A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A ARMY SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE ARMY SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,

IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED

A Soldier's JobFor a soldier
You make the choice
To do your job
There is no other way
No escape
You do what you were told
To go forward
Your job,
Your choice that you must face
From day to day and endlessly
Your job
That is what you gave your life for
For the love and for the vows
That you have sworn to protect
You stand tall and fight
For what you believe
That will bring a better place
for the future
You have no heart for a war
Your wish is not to fight
You live with dreams of peace
Just like many others
You gave your life to what you thought is right
Doing the job
That you have sign up for
You gave your life to it
You are the true hero
A Soldier's ChristmasA Different Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier,
A Soldiers Girl!!!One night a soldier looked up into the heavens and made a plea to God. "God I'm so alone down here. All I do is fight and face the deamons of the earth. Please send me someone"
So God called forth his angels and asked them to help create a soldiers girl. "Boss give her strenght!" cried Michael "So that she can bear the weight and pressure of always packing up and going with her man at a moments notice" God was pleased and added strengh.
"She must have patience!" called forth Gabriel "So that she can have the understanding of the stress of the job that is required of her man" God was pleased and added patience.
Peter thought about it and said "let her be compasionate, so that she can sooth away the nightmares and horrors that the soldier will see" God was pleased and added compassion.
Jesus went forth and said, "Dad give her faith, faith that her man loves her and that no matter what it takes he will get home to her" God was pleased and added faith.

Soldier's Christmas PoemA Soldier's Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
And had to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, No Presents, Not even a tree.
No stocking by the mantle, just boots full of sand.
On the wall hung pictures, of a distant land.
With Medals and Badges, Awards of all kinds,
A sober thought, came to mind.
For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a Soldier, Once I could see clearly.
The Soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor, In his one bedroom home.
The face was so gentle, The room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured, A United States Soldier.
Was this the hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho, The floor for a bed?
I realized the families that I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these
The Soldier Stood And Faced GodThe soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.

His gear and bags are packed
It is time for him to go
Inside he is scared as hell
But he doesn’t let it show
As he says his goodbyes
To the ones that he loves
They pray God watches over him
From Heaven up above
He is going to a land
Where Americans are the scum of the earth
This has been his pre-planned destiny
Ever since the day of his birth
With his rifle on his shoulder
And his helmet on his head
He boards the plane that will take him
To that place that every soldier dreads
He is an American soldier
And his mission is to keep us free
He is going to a war to fight
For Americans like you and me.
SoldierThere is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man
can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the reason our land
is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.

A Soldier's WomanIt's time
To send him off
A long year of separation
Unbearable
Still,she say,"Goodbye."
Just to rest his worried heart
She hold back her tears
As she waved goodbye
A long year of separation
Lonely nights
An empty bed
Without him
Life will not be complete
She is tired,
But,she stays strong
Sleepless nights
Praying for his safety
Asking God,"Please, let him come back safely."
Keeping her heart one
As she awaits his return
The life of a soldier's woman
Bless their heart
The SoldiersThe average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired,
tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half
man, half boy Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough
to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his
own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent High School graduate;
he was probably an average student,
pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy,
and has a steady girlfriend
that either broke up with him when he left,
or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away
He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now
than when he was at home
because he is working or fighting
from before dawn to well after dusk.
He has trouble spelling,
thus letter writing is a pain for him,

SoldierA True Soldier is tough indeed
standing tall and strong when there is a need
A Soldier also feels sadness, pain, and sorrow
Sometimes not looking forward to the trials of tomorrow
When a Soldier is wounded in battle
the nerves of his buddies it does rattle
When news reaches friends and family at home
how their worries and minds begin to roam
A wounded Soldier feels inadequate at best
stopping him from much needed healing rest
A wounded Soldiers wonders will he ever be alright,
trusting in God that he'll make it through the night.
When a Soldier is wounded far beyond repair
the loss and pain felt can not compare
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
they assure our freedom will always apply
To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain
will humble a civilian, no longer to complain
Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs
to get them through some very treacherous deeds
Dear Lord please watch over our Military today

A Soldiers JobAs I sit here in my room I ran across a video of a movie I watched before I deployed, it's called "The War Tapes", the trailer you see below tell the story, listen to the words of the one Soldiers wife, it's true, with me I'm a totally different person, before I decided to sign on the dotted line I was a provider, a father, a husband and I had friends to lean on in the time of need, my family was proud of me when I joined up, then I broke the news of me being deployed and then fear set in for everyone.
The training was intense, long days and nights, my kids not understanding why I had to be gone so much, me and my wife were fighting constantly because she thought it was going to be different, she knew, we all knew I was going to be deployed but it came sooner than everyone thought.
My wife left 3 weeks before I deployed, I was alone, had no friends up here, I couldn't concentrate because my kids were gone, everything was falling apart and it just kept getting worse, I felt I had do
A Soldier's Last WordsA Soldier's Last Words:
Listen Up CBS, CNN, Cindy Sheehan, Al Franken
by Louisa Centanni
SGT. Edmund John Jeffer's last few words were some of the most touching, inspiring and most truthful words spoken since the tragedy of 9/11 - and since our nation went to war.
SGT. Jeffers was a strong soldier and talented writer. He died in Iraq on September 19, 2007. He was a loving husband, brother and son. His service was more than this country could ever grasp - but the least you can do for the man who sacrificed his life for you ... is listen to what he had to say.
Listen up and pay attention to all of the Cindy Sheehans and Al Frankens of the world. To MSNBC, CNN, and CBS. To all who call themselves Americans ... Hope Rides Alone.< /FONT>

A Soldier's Story By: Tabitha Lynn CowanA Soldier's Story
By: Tabitha Lynn Cowan
Late last night I had a dream,
I dreamt a soldier came to me.
He was dressed in blue and gray,
Olive green and tan and beige,
Truly a soldier from every age.
Defending a nation's freedom and it's power.
Prepared to die at any hour.
He looked and me and said, "Dry you eye,
It was my duty to fight and die.
Do not however let my death be in vain,
Or make my burden more of a strain.
This nation was founded on freedom and love,
Founded on the belief in the One above.
Founded on freedom of choice,
And that everyone has an equal voice.
Keep these beliefs and my death was for a reason.
To keep you children safe and happy throughout every season.
I did my part,
With a full and happy heart.
Now you must do yours as well.
This is my story for you to tell.
Tell one and all to be proud of their soldiers,
So in their own daily lives they will be boulder.
To speak their minds,

SoldierPeople ask, “Why did you become a soldier?” The answer is plainly simple. With so many older relatives that were in branches it seemed to fall to me to finish the circle. Cancer tends to skip generations and, I guess so does the need to be a part of something larger than oneself. A soldier, faceless to the enemy all-alike from a distance, and all in the name of Justice. What is justice? She is a cruel maiden that claims the lives of innocent to spark action so that those both worthy and unworthy of life may live and die. It is in the hands of a soldier to determine this. Who is worthy of life, and who has done enough to warrant death?
It seems I really did it to ensure that those that are all too innocent would not have to spill blood or have blood of loved ones that died on their minds. Even so, war always seems to claim lives that need not be taken. People on their way to work or home, or some just trying to dodge fire aimed their way. Actions like these bring the soldiers out to f

A Soldier's HeartA Soldier’s Heart
A soldier’s heart
So courageous and brave
Committed to his country
And the life’s he saves
Always giving all he’s got
Wanting to give more
So proud to serve his country
And what our flag stands for
Away from home in
A foreign land
Standing on the front line
Waiting for his command
Fear is unknown
As he battles another
So eagerly he would die
To save his fellow brother
All this bravery he showed
Right from the start
That’s why God gave him
A soldier’s heart.

A Soldier Of The CrossI am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my commanding officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare.
I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire. I I'm a volunteer in this army, and I'm enlisted for Eternity.
I will either retire in this army at the rapture or die in this army; but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.
I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable. If My God needs me, I am there. If He needs me in the Sunday school, to teach the children, work with the youth, help adults or just sit and learn.
He can use me because I am there! I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up or pepped up.
I am a soldier. No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me. I am a Soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place, saluting my King, o
SoldiersThey came from all across this great land
To answer the call and for freedom stand
Their color and race,they quickly do blend
As for the right of freedom they were asked to
defend
The jobs they must learn are no easy task
For pity or mercy they will not ask
Through all the toils,tears and sweat
They stand proudly together with no regret
Standing and waiting for our nations call
Knowing that in battle some will return and others
will fall
Being called upon to protect a foreign land
Ready to protect others freedom and to make a
stand
Many a proud kin sits back at home and all alone
Hoping that they will all be able to return home
The weather means nothing to them as they work
Performing their duties and none do they shirk
Some will be given an unwanted task
and their depression they will surely have to mask
Some follow in the steps of their proud family
members
and the deeds that they accomplished are all fond

I am the guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I AM AN AMERICAN SOLDIER!
HOO AH!
Soldiers Come HomeWHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME .....
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to listen to his son whine about being bored.
....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.
to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
...to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
..to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
...to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.
....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
A Soldiers Christmas PrayerIn a land so far from home
A lonely soldier kneels to pray
I stand and watch with tear filled eyes
To his words that flow today
"Dear God I know you are listening
These thoughts I now send to you
I have always carried you in my heart
Hard times you have always led me through
I know that I am one of many
That of your precious time do ask
So I will make this short and sweet
So you can go on about your task
In this land so far from home
My country's honor I proudly protect
Each day I do all I am tasked
My duties none do I ever neglect
I think of my family way back home
My wife and children so dear
Wishing them the happiness Christmas brings
A holiday filled with good will and cheer
In my memories I see their precious smiles
Time with them I will be able to spend this way
Let them know I love them all so much
And for their protection I do now pray
For my fellow soldiers I ask of you
To keep them safe from any and all harm
Let them lay the
A Soldier's LetterDear Mom and Dad the heading reads
The date sits idly off to the side
The postmark is smudged from all the handling
The letter is held in trembling hands, opened wide
I miss the all the things that we had each day
The days here are long and stress does run high
The sun beats down on us relentlessly
As I sit here under this smoke filled sky
I can smell the stench of burning flesh from a fight
Heroes gave their lives in a valiant cause
I am writing this in between tears for my comrades I shed
For a second the war has come to a pause
Mom I miss the meals that each day you would make
The ones filled with love and tasted so good
I miss that smile and watching you as you worked
Making time for us all, whenever you could
Dad I miss the words that you gave to me to learn
Trying to follow in the footsteps of a great man like you
Seeing how you treated all that you happened to meet
The respect that each would always give to you
I miss the family and special times we shared
A Soldier's ThoughtsIn the sand our home has been made
I wonder how long we will be here
Fighting in a land so far from home
As sounds of war is all that I now hear
I see those saying we should not go
My own beliefs I bury deep down inside
Only one thought stands out for me now
I will defend my country with pride
A bullet cuts the still air overhead
A round explodes somewhere in the sand
Of right or wrong I now do not think
With honor beside fellow heroes I stand
Bombs are falling on the cities out front
Innocent people I know each day will die
With somber thoughts each day of this war
For these and others I hang my head and cry
Children taken way before their time
Unable to live to enjoy life like me and you
A mother, father, sister and brother now dead
War’s reality brings to us a sobering view
I hear of the pain that ones feel inside
Protesting why we were all sent here
In freedom their opinion they may voice
Only support for all of us do we want to hear
I see a fellow soldier
A Soldier's Last ChristmasA gray overcast sky was the cover over the land. The smell of sulfur filled the air as he walked. All around him carnage laid, covering the ground in a tangled mass of bodies. Streams of blood from many bodies formed pools on the ground, slowly seeping deep into the earth. The cold harsh breeze of winter blew savagely across these silent heroes. Battle worn flags whipped in the breeze, their seams tattered and torn and the material riddled in holes. Friend of foe it mattered not any more as none of the soldiers would be able to return to their homeland. Tears flowed heavy from his eyes as he could not understand the needless killings that had happened here on this day. Sorrow filled his heart as he knew somewhere in the world there were loved ones filled with pain from the loss that they now suffered. His heart and thoughts went out to all those that would have to pay for each death here today. Not the killers or the killed but the ones that would carry a empty spot inside them.
A Soldiers WifeA Soldiers Wife
As I lay on the ground,
I look up at the stars.
But as I look at them,
beautiful as they are.
I wonder to myself,
what is my fate?
Shall I go on,
or is it to late?
Will he still be alive,
by tomorrow night?
Or will he have been killed,
never to return to my sight.
My heart is heavy,
the sadness goes so deep.
Everyday is a struggle,
feels like all I do is weep.
They all say tomorrow,
is a new day.
It might be better,
or it could be gray.
Even darker than before,
so to God I pray.
Keep my soldier alive,
even if it is for only one more day!

Soldiers Of The World(work in progress)
The military

the world,
no matter

they call
their home.
And every citizen
should always be,
very proud of
their military.
Soldiers(red Friday)This is one of those good old e-mails that keep popping up. I just had to share it with you all again.
Will you give this to my Daddy?
As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.'
Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.
Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone)was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.
When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded
American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families.
Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young

A Soldier Meets GodThe smell of battle hung in the air
I silently traveled over blood soaked ground
Bodies littering it here and there
Death filled silence is all around
I hear a voice calling to me as I pass
I stop and there a brave hero I see
I go to his side and kneel beside him
I look into his eyes as he stairs up at me
I feel a tear fall as there I stay
Kneeling there by this brave heroes side
He begs to me to take away his pain
My arms for him I now open up wide
I lift him into my arms for comfort
He lays his head softly against my chest
I see from his body the wounds he has
As he closes his eyes and tries to rest
A tear I feel as it slides along my cheek
My heart is torn for the suffering he must bare
Wanting him to know I will comfort him
And for all the brave men I really care
He ask me now to save him from death
As life slowly slips from his body this day
Seeing the damage that battle has caused
A lump in my throat I know not what to say
He asks me to hear his last words

Sewn with thick butcher twine

A straight razor to my downfall.
The confection of alabaster empathy

Fakers and overpayed charlatans.

Now pissed on

an unctuous stink of abandon, and doting imbecile imposter.
Only fooling himself.
Placing his heart on an altar

I can't wait to watch you burn.

Echoing my fiction.
An abundance of patronizing sympathy.
A failing of my apathetic oblivion.

A Soldier Of PainThe cold wind blows on his tear streaked face as he walked into the lonely darkness of the moon-less night.
His eyes burning with the hatred and pain that has built a home in his soul to haunt his sleepless nights
Lost and lonely, tired and hungry, he searches the emptiness for a sign of peace
Not wanting to give up, he travels onward asking himself “when will the pain cease”
He suffers alone, all this pain he keeps buried eating away at him inside
Yet he still keeps on moving, takes a deep breath and swallows his pride.
He has lost so much, felt more pain than he ever thought he could handle
But the last of his sanity is dwindling away like a fast burning candle
And yet he continues to suffer and carry this burden on his back
Wandering in vast circles trying to get his life on the right track.
Through the searing pain he shall continue to move on, trying to leave his past behind
Cause he is a soldier of pain and he must keep his eyes forward, to see just what he can fi

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO

this is me this is who I am
I am a Marine to the very end
I live by the motto that is Simper Fi
I come to countries in far off lands
to fight for freedom for which most are to scared to stand
do not judge me for what I do
for what I do I do for you
I will kill for those who cannot kill
I will die for those to scared to
I will leave my loved ones, my kids, my wife
I will leave them all behind to give you a better life
I have seen and done things that will haunt my dreams
I have given up many things for you to be free
do not feel pity for me, for this is my choice
I chose this life so people like you can have a voice
I will die on my feet, I will not live on my knees
I will do this so America can stay free
this is me this is who I am
I am a Marine to the very end.

Soldier HabitsSome of these are hard habits to break!
1. Admit:
"I was in the Army; I have a problem." This is the first step to recovery...
2. Speech:
Time should never begin with a zero or end in a hundred, it is not 0430 or 1400; it is 4:30am and 2:00pm
Words like latrine, overhead, fourth point of contact, bunk, and "PT" will get you weird looks; bathroom, ceiling, ass, bed, and workout... get used to it.
"Fuck" cannot be used to -replace whatever word you can't think of right now, try "um".
Grunting is not talking.
It's a phone, not a radio; do not use words like roger, say again, send it and conversations on a phone do not end in "out"
People will not know what you are talking about if you tell them you usually spend your Monday's doing a PMCS and that you need a 5988 before you can do a proper QA/QC or that you spent a deployment in USAREUR. It's all gibberish to them.
Likewise people will not understand you when you use expressions like "watch your six" or "pop smok
A Soldier's StoryThe other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at war . My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation. My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window.
He said "Son, stand there and tell me what you see?"
"I see trees and cars and our neighbor's houses." he replied.
"OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the United States of America and you are President Bush."
Our son giggled and said "OK."
"Now son, I want you to look ou t the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country" my husband said.
"OK Dad, I'm pretending."
"Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend you see Saddam come out of his house with his

Ask this question to a soldier, the answers in his eyes
Always we will be here waiting, the call we wont deny
We'll always fight for freedom, never asking why
We'll go away to far off lands, leaving our loved ones behind
Many times we are alone, several times inside
Open the windows to our souls, see the tears we hide
Secrets we cannot keep, are in a soldiers eyes
They said my life was over
They said I was a waste
You’ll never have a life my boy
Not even just a taste
I refused to believe them
I was better than the rest
And when I looked up from my feet
There was a sign saying be the best.
I walked in through the door
Determined to make them see
“You want to be a soldier lad?”
“Come on then, follow me.”
If you saw me now
My life far from over
I’m sure as hell not a waste
Far from it I’m a soldier.
A Soldier's PrayerGod our Father,
Help me to remain true to my ideals
during my service to my country.
Help me be what is in America,
the land of the free.
May I realize that I represent
what our country stands for.
My uniform is a symbol of duty and valor
both in peace and in war.
I take up arms to defend what all Americans hold dear:
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Grant me the strength to live according to these ideals,
the courage of my convictions, and the resolve to endure whatever dangers threaten.
With you at our side I fear no evil
and resist every enemy,
secure in the knowledge
that you hold me in the palm of your hand.
Amen.

A Soldier Is...Soldiers come in all shapes, shades, weights, sizes, and states of sobriety, misery, and confusion. He is sly as a fox, has the nerve of a dope addict, the stories of an old sailor, the sincerity of a politician, and the subtly of Mt. Saint Helen. He is extremely irresistible, totally irrational and completely indestructible.
A Soldier is a Soldier all his life. He is a magical creature. You
can kick him out of your house but not out of your heart. You can take him off your mailing list but not off your mind. soldier are found everywhere... in love...in battle... in lust... in trouble...in
debt...in bars and ... behind them. No one can write so seldom and yet think so much of you. No one else can get so much enjoyment out of a letter or clean clothes or a six pack.
A Soldier is a genius with a deck of cards. A millionaire without a cent and brave without a grain of sense. He is the PROTECTOR OF AMERICA, with the latest copy of playboy in his back pocket. When he wants something
Soldier Misses His Own Wedding.....By SHARON COHEN, AP National Writer
Sun Aug 3, 4:48 PM ET
The phone call surprised Katie Kriesel, so soon after her husband, John, shipped out.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Where are you?" she asked.
"I am where I need to be," he answered cryptically, not wanting to disclose his exact location in Iraq. He probably would have waited to call home to Minnesota, but April 8, 2006, was special — it was Katie's 26th birthday.
Kriesel was at Camp Fallujah, just east of the city where U.S. contractors had been hanged from a bridge, where Marines had battled insurgents in some of the bloodiest battles of the war.
Soon after his arrival, Kriesel saw a tent near his living quarters that had been hit by enemy mortar fire, twisting the metal support beams and shredding the canvas.
Welcome to Iraq.
But Kriesel wanted to be in thick of the action, not sitting in a tower or standing guard in a mess hall. He'd always been gung-ho; even as a kid he had watched the Gulf War on TV and p
A Soldiers Thank You...As you all know, Im a soldier in the US Army and have little time before Im deployed to Iraq.
I was talking to Pat M'Groin (and actually am right now) and I just wanted to send a thank you to everyone who supports the troops, Air, Army, Marines and Navy alike and all other components.
If it wasnt for the support we get from you people of These United States of America, we wouldnt of volunteered to do what we do.
We wouldnt want to risk our lives in order to be proud of ourselves and know we're appreciated by millions of other people around us. Even people that we will never meet.
Again, this is a Soldiers thank you to the veterans and citizens for all care packages sent, all the cards, letters and personal pieces we ask for so we are less homesick while fighting a ghost enemy.
Take care everyone.
Love,
SPC Haynes
SoldiersI was that which others did not want to be, I went where others feared to go and did what others feared to do.
I asked nothing from who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained and hoped, but most of all, I have lived times, other would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say, that I was proud of what I was.....
....A Soldier.
Soldiers PromiseI hope that your days are sunny
And your dreams are sweet
May your life be full of happiness
May no troubles fall at your feet
Though I may be far away
And I'm not physically there
There is something you should know
My soul remains with you there
I will always be home
I will always be there
Though not in person
I will still be there
Memories of us will be everywhere
I will see you no matter where I am
For all the distance between us
For all the time that I've been gone
I will return changed
But I will not be gone
I will still be me
For that can never change
I will always be there for you
I will never leave
The Soldier Left Behind..Here's something I wrote in an effort to let out some frustration.. :
The Soldier Left Behind
Did you know that you've left your brother behind? How can this be true you ask? Just stop and think. Who have you not seen or heard from or about? Where can he be? What is the story? Is he okay? Where can he be?
Has he walked right by you and you didn't even see him? Who is it that you're missing? The one who has been left behind. Did he come back home with you or get lost in transit? Or did he just get left behind?
He's usually kind of quiet. And tends to mind his own business. He doesn't always hang out with the crowd, but he was always there right by your side. Who have you left behind? Who does his job, yet you hardly ever see? Who is it that is missing? This brother that is in need...
So have you figured it out yet? Who it is that you've left behind? The army has let him down. His fellow brothers in arms have let him down. I thought that the military would ha

A SoldierSoldier from the United States Army was attending some college courses, between assignments He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes wentby and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Soldier got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Soldier went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Soldier and asked, "What
Soldier Of Life!Im just one of many soldiers in the jungle of life
my notepad is my rifle, my pen is my knife
medals from my battles decorate my chest
but the scars on my heart remind me best
with determination I keep on marching, boldly facing whatever comes my way
I reflect on the battles survived
and embrace the current day
I ignore whatever pain at times I may feel
I smile at friendly faces and hope someday to heal
Battered, Heartbroken and Hurting
Yet I go on doing, never acknowleging defeat
proudly marching like a soldier till my tour of duty is complete

A Soldier Died TodayA SOLDIER DIED TODAY
He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he had fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.
And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his Legion buddies listened
For they knew whereof he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For old Bill has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a soldier died today.
He will not be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary
And quite uneventful life.
Held a job and raised a family,
Quietly going on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
though a Soldier died today.
When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.
Papers tell their whole life stories
From the time that
Soldiers' Shoe BoxesHey. I like never write in this website's blog, but I feel I need to get some more information. My mom is a 4th Grade School teacher, and the students in her school are collecting things to put in shoeboxes to be sent to the soldiers still in Iraq. She has a list of **RECOMMENDED** things, but having it straight from the horse's mouth is a lot better. I know there are some wives/husbands of soldiers overseas...and I'm sure you can give me a little feedback. What is the main thing you think we can send them(keep in mind it is a shoebox) for the folks still over there? I have heard that Beef Jerky is the biggest thing....but I haven't gotten any feedback on anything else. I welcome feedback...just keep in mind that the shoeboxes are taped up and shipped the day before the Thanksgiving break. Thanks for reading.

I CAME ACROSS THIS IN A EMAIL SENT TO ME AND HAD TO PASS IT ON.IF YOU COULD ALSO PASS IT ON FOR ME.
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.

The Soldiers' Night Before ChristmasThe Soldiers' Night Before Christmas
by Trish Holland and Christine Ford
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the base
Only sentries were stirring - they guarded the place.
At the foot of each bunk sat a helmet and boot
For the Santa of Soldiers to fill up with loot.
The soldiers were sleeping and snoring away
As they dreamed of "back home" on good Christmas Day.
One snoozed with his rifle - he seemed so content.
I slept with the letters my family had sent.
When outside the tent there arose such a clatter.
I sprang from my rack to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Poked out my head, and yelled, "What was that crash?"
When what to my thrill and relief should appear;
But one of our Blackhawks to give the all cler.
More rattles and rumbles! I heard a deep wine!
Then up drove 8 Humvees, a jeep close behind.....

Soldiers Night Before ChristmasþTwas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster & stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give
And to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
With medals and badges, awards of all kind
A sober thought came through my mind.
For this house was different, so dark and dreary,
I knew I had found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.
I heard stories about them, I had to see more
So I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.
And there he lay sleeping silent alone,
Curled up on the floor in his one bedroom home.
His face so gentle, his room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured a United States soldier.
Was this the hero of whom I¢d just read?
Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed?

A Soldier's Prayer.I was that which Others did not want to be, I went where Others feared to go and did what Others feared to do.
I asked nothing from Those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of Eternal loneliness should I fail.
I have seen the face of Terror, felt the Stinging cold of fear and enjoyed the Sweet taste of a moments Love.
I have Cried, Pained and Hoped, but most of all, I have Lived times, Others would say are best Forgotten.
At least someday, I will be able to Say, that I was Proud of what I was......

The SoldierA story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've got a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring with me." "Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm an leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own." At that point, the son hung up the phone. The par
A SoldierA Soldier
By me
Not a sacred warrior,
Nor with a bayonet blessed by God,
Not even a human being,
Just a simple peasant….. a surrogate,
A sacrificial lamb, a frightened child,
Chosen by the rich to be an instrument of war,
A cold-blooded, battle-trained beast,
A mindless savage ordered to kill,
A molded piece of steel, an object……. a gear,
A very small cog in a far-reaching engine of death,
An insignificant fleck in the overall fabric of life,
A negligible notch on the handle of an enemy’s gun,
A mere afterthought for those who extol the wonders of war,
An unkempt grunt,
A lonely gutted, blood-spattered corpse lying on the ground,
Something like the trivial crush of dead dog on a lonely country road,
Dead meat…………. with a tin tag,
A sacred breath of life having been stripped from its mother’s womb,
A father’s pride…. his very best friend,
Someone whose name is Abdul, Mohammed, Ishmael, Ibrahim, or Hassan,
Or then again
A Soldier PoemThe Soldier
How does a soldier feel fighting a war?
Does he always know what he is fighting for?
Maybe he knows but doesn't understand,
why he is alone in a faraway land.
Like so many others he is there for a cause,
And like the rest he doesn't pause.
He has a job that he does well,
even as his best friend beside him fell.
How does he feel when he hears the news,
of violent protests from the ignorant few?
His shame is great, the pain goes deep
he feels compassion for the dead at his feet.
Rioters can boast and carry signs,
about the war that has shook our time.
But when the call comes for them to go,
they burn their draft cards and make a show.
How can a soldier be proud of his land,
when this type of people make a stand?
How can we show him we are glad he is there,
fighting for freedom and the ones who care?
War is unfair in any way of life,
and all involved must pay the price.
But the soldier is proud to keep us free,
stop and think..........
Shouldn't you be

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.'
Last week I was in , attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.
Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well alm ost everyone)was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.
When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded
American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families.
Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young
unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so
we can go to school, work and home without fear or re
A Soldier’s Wish: Angel Of SteelA Soldier’s Wish:
Angel Of Steel
As we lay in the shadows
Of the tall golden wheat
A wave of hope
Sweeps through the valley
Perhaps tonight
Shall be the night
When we all shall hear
That fearsome roar
Of our Angel Of Steel
And may she throw down her hair
And whisk us away
Into her cold, yet welcoming arms
There goes the signal!
And forward we crawl
Ever so slowly
And with not a peep
For the enemy surrounds us
Yet knows not of their doom
For the strength of swords
Shall pour down like rain
And all through the grass
Rose a soft whisper
A sound so sweet
As our wishes flew high
For tonight we wish
That this journey may end
A journey full of pain
And a journey full of hardships
Here we are hated by many
And loved by few
Yet a job we have
And a job we must do
And a job we have done
Yet we are patiently waiting
For the long overdue
The feeling of her embrace
Our Angel Of Steel

Poem: Fallen Heroes
Let us never forget
Those who have been lost
The ones who once protected us
And paid the ultimate cost
They are the fallen heroes
From wars of the present and past
Some pictures have faded
But the memories still last
Keep them in your thoughts
Never forget what they've paid
To give us the freedom
We enjoy every day
They are the fallen heroes
Remember what they've done
Thank them each morning
With the rising sun
Please remember these fallen heroes and thier families...

SO DEAR TO MY HEART
So dear to my heart are my loved ones at home
As I toss and I turn in my bunk all alone.
Everyday I see death, hate, and corruption
Combat is God's proof of man's malfunction
For family, comrades, and myself I pray
To my love with this poem I wish to convey.
I knew I loved you though never how much
Till by war, I'm forced beyond your touch.
Where violence thrives, there's the stench of death
With the taste of fear on every breath.
Who shall prevail, who shall die
As the sadistic kill beneath God's sky.
Baghdad has become man's highway to hell
Where the hearts of darkness are alive and well.
I count each day till it's time to come home
And be with my love and never alone.
Love

Your honor at stake
Your pride already shining through
You’ve made it this far
Don’t quit now
When the thoughts creep in
Remember I am proud too
You’re an American Soldier
An honor for the chosen few
Not everyone can make it through
It takes a lot to volunteer
Knowing what’s ahead of you
Standing tall before you go
Running into the fire in front of you.
SoldierOn that day you will cry out in dispear
Calling out for your brothers and sisters
I shall be there put you back on your feet
There is so much evil in this world little one
There is so much good in this hell
I will always be ready to take that fear
Hold and pray that you will never need me
I will never leave you side
Be reinsured I will be right there

Then as in war they see destruction and death
It turns on a heath inside
A burning will to provide
Each tries their best to help each other
Believing them to be brothers
They do not mourn when one dies
But continue the fight
To save the others and remember those
Who have died

A Soldiers PrayerA SOLDIERS PRAYER
It's time to sleep
I've been relieved
My rifle at my side
My knife in it's sheath
Lord let me live another day
As I put myself in harms way
I made my choice, I took the oath
I stand for freedom, but I don't boast
My God, my country, my family
The things I hold so dear
With these all on my side
There's nothing for me to fear
But if I should fall before my next relief
I will stand before you Lord with honor and dignity
So, while I'm here please make me strong
To fight the battles and right what's wrong
God Bless America

SoldiersEveryone thinks to be a soldier is an easy job... But you are wrong.. We face danger everyday of our lives and we should be thankful to people who serve and protect our country... They are putting their lives on the line for us... I will be in the Air Force soon enough and when someone comes up to me and says Thank YOu for serving our country, it means the world to me, just to know that some ppl appreciate what we do for others... So the next time you talk or see someone from any branch of service do me a favor tell them Thank You..
A Soldiers X-masThe embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,Transforming the yard to a winter delight.The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then thesure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,And I crept to the door just to see who was near.Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.Alone in the d
Soldiers Screwed AgainThis was a repost of a blog a friend of a friend posted. I just wanted everybody to see what the government REALLY thinks of us.......... The Department of Homeland security has black listed Vets. as possible domestic terrorist. They have informed law enforcement to be on the look out for vets as possible terrorist. So now I have to worry about driving around with my Vet plates I am a target. This morning I wrote a post about a Homeland Security paper that warned about “right wing extremists” and the threat that they may pose to the government. This paper basically lumped in people who are either pro second amendment, anti abortion, anti illegal immigration, or pro smaller government (or more than one or all of the above) with white supremacists and domestic terrorists. As maddening as I found that paper there was one aspect to the paper that I missed this morning and to me it is much more egregious. This is what the Department of Homeland Security thinks about our m

I am a soldier, I fight for the free.
But while I'm here who fights for me?
It's the ones who stand next to me with the gun in their hands,
It's the ones who lye motionless with their face in the sand.
It's those who sit behind the bars of the enemy,
It's the ones who spend years on their post at the sea.
It's the ones who fly high up above in the clouds,

There is discipline in A Soldieryou can see it when he walks, There is honor in A Soldieryou hear it when he talks.There is courage in A Soldieryou can see it in his eyes, There is loyalty in A Soldierthat he will not compromise.There is something in A Soldierthat makes him stand apart, There is strength in A Soldier that beats from his heart.A Soldier isn't a title any man can be hired to do, A Soldier is the soul of that manburied deep inside of you.A Soldier's job isn't finished afteran 8 hour day or a 40 hour week, A Soldier is always A Soldiereven while he sleeps.A Soldier serves his country firstand his life is left behind, A Soldier has to sacrifice what comes first in a civilian's mind.If you are civilian -I am saying this to you.....next time you see A Soldierremember what they do.A Soldier is the reason our landis 'Home of the free', A Soldier is the one that is brave protecting you and me.If you are A Soldier -I am saying this to you.....Thank God for EVERY SOLDIERThan

THEY JOIN FOR MANY REASONS MOST DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT IS NOT FOR FAME NOR GLORY, BUT JUST BCAUSE THIER A MAN
THEY JOIN FOR PRIDE, HONOR AND DIGNITY, BUT FOR MOST THEY JOIN OUT OF A LOVE THAT THEY FEEL DEEP WITH IN, THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN IT NOR DO THEY TRY
THEY ARE YOUNG AND MOST THE TIMES HAVE NOT GROWN TO THE MAN THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN
BUT WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THEM TO GO, TO FAR OFF PLACES THAT MOST DO NOT KNOW
THEY NEVER QUESTION THEY JUST SAY HOOAH, FOR THAT IS WHAT IS UNDERSTOOD
THEY ARE MEN AND WOMEN ALIKE, AND THEY STAND SIDE BY SIDE AND FIGHT
THEY LIVE IN PLACES THAT MOST PEOPLE JUST CAN'T IMAGINE
AND DON'T COMPLAIN CAUSE THEY ARE GLAD TO HAVE THEM
AND WHEN IT COMES TIME AND LORD LETS HOPE IT NEVER DOES
THEY WILL DIE TO PROTECT THE LAND THEY LOVE
AND PEOPLE OFTEN ASK ME WHY I DO WHAT I DO
AND I JUST REPLY CAUSE I LOVE THE RED WHIT AND BLUE.....jro
A Soldier's PoemTake a man and put him alone,Put him twelve thousand miles from home.Empty his heart of all but blood,Make him live in sand, in mud.This is the life I have to live,This the soul to God I give.You have your parties and drink your beer,While young men are dying over here.Plant your signs on the White House lawn;"Lets get out of Iraq".Use your signs and have your fun,Then refuse to use a gun.There's nothing else for you to do,Then I'm supposed to die for you?There is one thing that you should know;And that's where I think you should go!I'm already here and it's too late.I've traded all my love for all this hate.I'll hate you till the day I die.You made me hear my buddy cry.I saw his leg and his blood shed,Then I heard them say, "This one's dead".It was a large price for him to pay,To let you live another day.He had the guts to fight and die,To keep the freedom you live by.By his dying, your life he buys,But who gives a fuck if a Soldier dies!
The Soldier's Night Before ChristmasThe Soldier's Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster & stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give
And to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
With medals and badges, awards of all kind
A sober thought came through my mind.
For this house was different, so dark and dreary,
I knew I had found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.
I heard stories about them, I had to see more
So I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.
And there he lay sleeping silent alone,
Curled up on the floor in his one bedroom home.

Soldiers (fold The Flag)A touch of your name echoes back the existence of a life that was taken too soon.My sight blinded, from gracing your faceOnly leaves a hole in my soul, that nothing can replace.The letters of your existence written, spell out your nameI pray to god, or something that your death wasn't in vein.My senses dulled, everything but the pain.My life's without you now,A soldier was your name.
Soldier Of The WorldI stood and looked upon the field; blood and gore on sword and steel.
How had we come so far: fly from this place child of stars.
I ran as fast as my soul could take; for I could no longer love foresake.
And when the forest was gone; the screams still did haunt.
I screamed, "Mother Gaea do forgive my transactions so; for I feel my soul that way goes."

If I were your first stop once you got back from deployment, I would prepare the condo for the care I would take with you. Ya big man, you would actually have to deal with being pampered just a little... When you arrive I would not say a word (don’t get use to that ;D lol), but I would take your hand, and after you drop your luggage.. would slowly press you against the wall.. one hand, linking fingers with you and holding you against the wall while the other would cup your neck and pull you to me for that kiss i so want from you... you would try to tease me, knowing i want it, but i would tease back, because you want it too... then the grins would leave and the seriousness of the passion would come and we would kiss... slow, deep, thorough... both moaning... you would take my hand from your neck and link those fingers too, then holding our linked hands you would move them behind me, capturing me in

Soldier's PoemOk, Iknow I screwed this up the first blog go figure. But anyhow. This is a short poem I found in my wallet today. I isn't long but I remember my grandma gave it to me when I deployed to Iraq, I kept it for the whole deployment and then some.
God and the Soldier
All men adore
In the time of trouble
And no more:
For when war is over
And all things righted
God is neglected
The old soldiers sighted.
I have no clue what this entails but I have had it in my wallet for almost 6 years now.
The SoldierIf you read this, you WILL forward it on.You just won't be able to stop yourself.The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, just old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble sp

The SoldierIt is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, Who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves under the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
A Soldier's View Of 9/119/11/01. We all know the date. We all know what it means. It's our generations version of Pearl Harbor. A day that will live in infamy. I remeber that day every day of my life. I was in freshman year of high school. I remember our superintendant telling the teachers to turn on CNN. When we all saw it, it was surreal to say the least. My godmother worked there. She was on the 67th floor in the first tower that collapsed. We tried to call all day. Nothing. Three weeks, nothing. Finally, her son told us she was found. That feeling made my heart literally collapse. She was my second mother, for lack of a better term. I have nightmares to this day of thst day. I would have had them even if she wasn't in there. But to this day, I still remember everything going in slow motion. This is with me being a state away, mind you. This was the reason I joined the Army. To give back to the country that's given me so much, and to make a woman who meant so much to me proud. I love you Titi Olga. Rest i
A Soldiers Salute .. Lance Corporal Christopher Scott Fowlkes To some they are our heroes, Others they are family and friends, No matter what they are, Their duty never ends. The path they lead is hard, And some can't understand, Why they choose to do it, To fight for Freedom in this land. Age makes no difference, There's just one job to do, Stand and fight together, Faith will push them through. So many miles between them, A simple phone call such a gift, Things we take for granted, Gives their hearts such a huge lift. I wonder if they ever think, That they're forgotten over there, I wonder if they sleep at night, Like we do without a care. Sometimes I think they're chosen, By a higher, greater power, Because they give away their Freedom, To keep us safe every hour. I don't know if they choose or are chosen, But whatever the reason may be, I want to say "Thank You" Lance Cpl. Chris Fowlkes, You gave your life to keep us free. I live each day with my family, Soldiers live each day in fear, I sleep at night in peace, Soldiers sleep with their gun

Soldier Who Received Lung Transplant Dies From Lung CancerLONDON, England (CNN) -- A leading UK hospital has defended its practice of using organs donated by smokers after the death of a soldier who received the cancerous lungs of a heavy smoker.
A close up X-ray view of a cigarette smoker's lungs.
Corporal Matthew Millington, 31, died at his home in 2008, less than a year after receiving a transplant that was supposed to save his life at Papworth Hospital -- the UK's largest specialist cardiothoracic hospital, in Cambridgeshire, east England.
Papworth Hospital released a statement saying using donor lungs from smokers was not "unusual."
The statement added that the hospital had no option but to use lungs from smokers as "the number of lung transplants carried out would have been significantly lower," if they didn't.
Should hospitals use smokers' lungs in transplants?
An inquest held last week heard that Millington, who served in the Queen's Royal Lancers, was serving in Iraq in 2005 when he was diagnosed with an incurab
A Soldiers PoemTHE FINAL INSPECTION
The soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass.He hoped his shoes were shining,Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, you soldier,How shall I deal with you ?Have you always turned the other cheek ?To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.Because those of us who carry guns,Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,And at times my talk was tough.And sometimes I've been violent,Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,That wasn't mine to keep...Though I worked a lot of overtime,When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,Though at times I shook with fear.And sometimes, God, forgive me,I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,Among the people here.They never wanted me around,Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,It needn't be so grand.I never expected or had too much,But if
Soldier's Lack Of Army Values!As an American Soldier you fight with each other, you train with each other and you relax with each other. You expect your Brother/Sister in Arms to have your 6 o'clock and he/she expects the same from you. So when you have dirty thoughts, date, have any type of personal relationship with another Soldiers girlfriend, fiancee or wife you break down their trust in you, the trust in your unit and the trust of the Army. It is bad enough that civilians do it all the time to each other. We are trained disciplined professionals. That means if you help your buddy out by driving his drunk wife home or you pick his wife at the store because you had to work late or if her significant other is in a combat zone, have the discipline to keep your hands to yourself. If you don't have that discipline you need to be taken behind the conex and beat or you don't deserve to be called a Soldier. There is more to being a Soldier than showing up to work on time in the right uniform. You need to have trust and

A Soldier's ChristmasThe embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight; My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight; The sparkling lights in the tree, I believe, Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep In perfect contentment or so it would seem, So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near, But I opened my eye when it tickled my ear; Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, And I crept to the door just to see who was near; Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night, A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

Soldiers On FubarThis is something else that has plagued me since I first joined the site. Yes, I know we have troops over in Iraq and all and I am all for supporting the troops, but some of the behavior in relation to this site is kinda annoying.
I find it kinda pathetic that when guys have "USMCSNIPER" in their display name and all, just to make it known. Yes you are mlitary, yes I am very thankful for the fact that you are defending my freedoms I take for granted every day,such as writing this blog (Freedom of speech for all you knowledge impaired), but no I do not appreciate using your status and title to gain attention on a website like this.

Soldiers PoemFor all the free people that still protest. You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best. Your voice is strong and loud, but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd. We are your fathers, brothers, and sons, wearing the boots and carrying guns. We are the ones that leave all we own, to make sure your future is carved in stone. We are the ones who fight and die, We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try. We walked the paths to where we are at and we want no choice other than that. So when you rally your group to complain, take a look in the back of your brain. In order for that flag you love to fly wars must be fought and young men must die. We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear. If that's not respected, we would rather stay here. So please stop yelling, put down your signs, and pray for those behind enemy lines. And then when the conflict is over and all is well, be thankful that we chose to go through hell.
Soldier, Marine And An AirmanA soldier, a marine, and an airman got into a fight about which service is best. The fight was so heated, that they killed each other. Soon, they found themselves in Heaven. They see St. Peter walk by and ask, “Which Branch of Service is the best?” St. Peter replied, “I can't answer that. But, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him.” Some time later, the three see St. Peter again and ask him if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a dove landed on St. Peter's shoulder. The dove was carrying a note in its beak. St. Peter opened the note and read it out loud to the three fellows: “Gentlemen: All the Branches of the Service are ‘Honorable and Noble’. Each one of you has served your country well. Be proud of that. (signed) GOD, USN (Ret.)”
Soldiers Are Being Forced To Choose Between Their Children And The Military, And They're Paying The Price In JailtimeSoldiers who face unexpected parenting hardships and are unable to deploy are supposed to be honorably discharged. Instead they are being slapped with criminal charges.
Soldiers who face unexpected parenting hardships and are unable to deploy are supposed to be honorably discharged. Instead they are being slapped with criminal charges.
In January, U.S. Army officials announced four separate court-martial charges against Specialist Alexis Hutchinson, a single mother who missed her deployment to Afghanistan in early November 2009 when her childcare plans for her infant son, Kamani, fell through at the last minute.
Hutchinson was jailed and threatened with a court-martial if she did not agree to deploy to Afghanistan. Kamani was placed into a county foster care system.
Hutchinson, in accordance with the family care plan of the U.S. Army, had been allowed to fly to Oakland, Califor

I look around me, all I can see is sand.
My mouth is dry, my mind is numb; I hear a scream--- "OH, GOD!!"as I turn my head I see; my brother, my friend, we have been side by side since bootcamp.I try to move, but the pain tries to keep me down.
As I reach him, he says; "don't leave, I'm s c a r e d." Then,in my mind I think of:others who have come to pass, those who protest what we do, and say "Why? WHY? Should he die for YOU?"
He is young and full of pride. He volunteered to fight; and now is scared and cries.
You watch T.V. and curse us. You make remarks about what we do.Yet, how the HELL do you know what we go through.
His Mom and Dad I'll soon face; to give them a necklace he wore til he died.Can I look into their face?
He is gone, but you are still here. The pride he had, you'll never have near.
You may look down on me, but love for some; I have no more. Yet, I still fight for.
Remember this: The Few -- that fight for YOUR freedom,The Proud -- prou
A Soldier's Christmas StoryA Soldier's Christmas Story A soldier nervously finders his weapon and stares into the darkness watching for any sign of the enemy. He is alone this night because yesterday his best friend, who usually shared this position with him, was killed. He misses him, he was a brave man who left a wife and two small children behind. The soldier hopes that he will survive this war and someday be able to tell the little ones how bravely their father had died defending freedom. He doesn't know exactly what time it is but his instincts tell him that it is approaching midnight on this Christmas Eve. Soon it will be Christmas morning at home and his own family will be getting up to have breakfast and open presents. His breakfast will consist of some cold sparse rations and a sip of water from his canteen. There will be no hot cider or coffee for him and no turkey dinner later in the day. He hopes his family enjoys the Christmas celebration and understands why he can't be with them. There are people i
A Soldier's HeartA Soldier's Heart
They don’t know why we do it. They don’t see what we see. They don’t know why we risk our lives for a war that isn’t even ours. It’s not for publicity but for love. That is it. It is all for love. It is as simple as that. For the brotherly love of the men next to us and for the loved ones we have left back home. The times are changing and freedom is no longer free. So we must fight to keep our families free and safe. For we are not afraid to die because we will know in our hearts that our family will be safe. It is truly an honor to give your life for the ones you love and know. So we do this for our moms and dads. Our brothers and sisters. Our friends back home. For the stranger on the side of the street. For the people who have crushed our hearts. And for the guy who said that we would never amount to anything. Because we love and care about them all and always will no matter what they have done. That is why I am a s

A Soldier Died Today Poem Worth Reading
He was getting old and paunchyand his hair was falling fast,and he sat around the Legion,telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he once fought inand the deeds that he had done,In his exploits with his buddies;they were heroes, every one.And 'tho sometimes to his neighborshis tales became a joke,all his buddies listened quietlyfor they knew where of he spoke.But we'll hear his tales no longer,for ol' Bob has passed away,and the world's a little poorerfor a Soldier died today.He won't be mourned by many,just his children and his wife.for he lived an ordinary,very quiet sort of life.
He held a job and raised a family,going quietly on his way;and the world won't note his passing,'tho a Soldier died today.
When politicians leave this earth,their bodies lie in state,while thousands note their passing,and proclaim that they were great.
Papers tell of their life storiesfrom the time that they were young,but the passing of a Soldiergoes unnoticed, and unsung.

SoldA broken harlot wandering darkened streets
Curiosity punished forever by my fate
My pride and dignity died between my sheets
Scarred forever by a twisted lovers hate
Blood trickling down my pale legs
Darkness penetrated deep inside my skin
My soul dragged up from the vomiting dregs
Condemned to hell for my vile sin
The cruelty of my masters marked forever on my face
My disgrace festering in my bed
Lying in a nest of thorns and lace
My beautiful corpse in the alleys of the dead

A Soldiers ChristmasMichael Marks
A SOLDIER’S CHRISTMASThe embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,Transforming the yard to a winter delight;The sparkling lights in the tree, I believe,Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,Secure and surrounded by love I would sleepIn perfect contentment, or so it would seem.So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near,But I opened my eye when it tickled my ear.Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know,Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,And I crept to the door just to see who was near.Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,A lone figure stood; his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twent
Soldier Of FortuneI have often told you stories About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that
I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days
I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that
I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guessI'll always be A soldier of fortune
SoldiersAs the day riseAs the night falls.They stand Happy and Proud,With their backs straight,With their hand on their foreheads.Slotting to our Flag.Being Proud of their Freedom& to be on Earth.So they stand happy for their lives, And their fellow people.They all cry for their Wives, Husbands, Friends, And Family.Hoping that they don't get sad but to proud instead.When time comes around againwe'll be able to see them as "True Soldiers"that they're meant to be.
Soldier StoryOn a day in September of 2009 a soldier landed in Pittsburg, PA and was frantically trying to rent a car to get home to his parents and girlfriend. All car rental companies were out because of a convention that was in town and he finally found one that had two cars.
Of the two cars one was a brand new 2010 mustang and the other a minivan. The soldier deciding he wanted to save money for his two week R & R asked for the minivan. A gentleman in line directly behind him leans around and asked the clerk how much the mustang was for two weeks. The woman glanced at the soldier who just nodded and continued to fill out his paperwork. She gets the full price for the gentleman and he says "Please give it to this soldier on my credit card"
The soldier stops writing and slowly turns around. He thanks the man and says it's not necessary but the man grips his hands looks him in the eye and says "I myself served this country, I appreciate you, your girlfriend and your family for the sacrifice they
Soldiers EyesTo look into a soldier's eyes, the window to their soul.
Look out from inside their mind and see horrors never told.
You say we are just killers, it's not that plain you see.
Take a walk inside my boots and see what I have seen.
Many innocent lives taken and soldiers, they were some.
Giving their life freely to get the mission done.
The last cold stare of death, we see in our buddies eyes.
They fought for all your freedom, this is why we die.
Some wonder why we fight to protect this nation and maybe lose our life.
Ask this question to a soldier, the answers in their eyes.
Always will we be here waiting, the call we won't deny.
We'll always fight for freedom, never asking why.
We'll go away to far off lands , leaving our loved ones behind. Many times we die alone, several times inside.
Open windows to our soul, see the tears we hide.
Secrets that we cannot keep are in a soldier's eyes.
Written by SSG M.Lynn McCulley
The SoldierHow does a soldier feel fighting a war?Does he always know what he is fighting for?Maybe he knows but doesn't understand,why he is alone in a faraway land. Like so many others he is there for a cause,And like the rest he doesn't pause.He has a job that he does well,even as his best friend beside him fell. How does he feel when he hears the news,of violent protests from the ignorant few?His shame is great, the pain goes deephe feels compassion for the dead at his feet. Rioters can boast and carry signs,about the war that has shook our time.But when the call comes for them to go,they burn their draft cards and make a show. How can a soldier be proud of his land,when this type of people make a stand?How can we show him we are glad he is there,fighting for freedom and the ones who care? War is unfair in any way of life,and all involved must pay the price.But the soldier is proud to keep us free,

A Soldier's Dream!Watches the sun go down behind my back,
Silouhette's of a soldier raising a flag,
Caught upon his past
Dust rising , smoke clearing a ragged soul,
Rifle on his shoulder, bayonet attached,
He may be bloodied, Maybe a little bruised,
Emblazoned upon his chest,
An insignia of the country,He fought for,
Carrying honour in his every step,
Steel boot's step on the granite stone,
Receiving his medallion,This gold is nothing to him,
for the people he has saved,
Memories drift back, a tear in his eye,
Deserts & forests,
Upon his gaze,
Never forget!

In that article you will find links to the actual video of a sheep being beat with a baseball bat and petitions and what not. Sure don't need another Abu Ghraib on our hands as we exit Iraq and leave it to the Iraqis (shudders) and are still in Afghanistan. It's just time for all of the soldiers to come home so we can focus on rebuilding America. Because after four years of Obama, we are sure going to need it. Just a thought.

A Soldier's Christmas'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who in this little house lived. As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No Stockings by mantle, just boots filled with sand, On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands. With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, A sobering thought came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, The home of a soldier, I could now see clearly. The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone, Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home. The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, Not how I picture a United States Soldier. Was this the hero of whom I'd just read? Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed? I realized the families that I saw this night, owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight. Soon round the world, the

A Soldiers Dream..Through Bloodshot eyes and a thousand yard stare
Images of my friends are confined in my mind
A chill runs through me as I continue to stare
A cold, wet feeling that's just not there
My ears pick out the smallest of sound
A tiny raindrop pattering to the ground
A movement of a leaf as it scrapes out loud
We try to stay covered cut off from the others
I stare into the jungle
Looking at mysterious shadows that forshadow
The enemy is out there, he's looking for a fight
My Friends Bo, John and Henry are to my right
Forever peering down thier gun sights
Ready at a moments notice for the inevitable firefight
Men will die ,when bullets fly
Blood stains the ground of this hollowed battle ground
I am Doc to my friends
I swore an oath to save them should they be hit
Damn how I wish my mind would quit
Memoeries of Bo, John and Henry wrack my soul
Yet they look down on me and continue to smil

A Soldier A Marine And An AirmanA soldier, a marine, and an airman got into a fight about which service is best. The fight was so heated, that they killed each other.
Soon, they found themselves in Heaven. They see St. Peter walk by and ask, “WhichBranch of Service is the best?”
St. Peter replied, “I can't answer that. But, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him.”
Some time later, the three see St. Peter again and ask him if he was able to find theanswer.
Suddenly, a dove landed on St. Peter's shoulder. The dove was carrying a note inits beak. St. Peter opened the note and read it out loud to the three fellows:“Gentlemen: All the Branches of the Service are ‘Honorable and Noble’. Each oneof you has served your country well. Be proud of that.

But the real war was when they got back ..
How does one .. teach another how to be a family again?
We coped on our own for so long without them ..
That we got used to doing everything on our own

So Let Me Catch Ya UpSo saturday night we had Heath's birthday part there are pics on my profile. But anyways I have been wicked moody lately and i wasn't sure why then i actually stopped to think about it and I came to the conclusion that i wasn't ready in my head for tons of different things. I'm still wanting to be me and stay single for now and get my shit together. Like another job, another car, and a new place to live.
Shit is stressful enough with my everyday life and it doesn't help that everyone wants to me please everyone. I need to focus on my kids and what is important to me. Thats why i am not looking for any thing more then friends. but i gotta run tawny and i are getting ready to head out to look for a place. peace out bitches

So Lets Get In The "mood"For tomorrow!!! What would St Pats be without the Unicorn Song?
Sing along now...
A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn
The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...
Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget My unicorns
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
The SoleThe fishes had for a long time been discontented because no order prevailed in their kingdom. None of them turned aside for the others, but all swam to the right or the left as they fancied, or darted between those who wanted to stay together, or got into their way. And a strong one gave a weak one a blow with its tail, which drove it away, or else swallowed it up without more ado. How delightful it would be, said they, if we had a king who enforced law and justice among us, and they met together to choose for their ruler the one who could cleave through the water most quickly, and give help to the weak ones. They placed themselves in rank and file by the shore, and the pike gave the signal with his tail, on which they all started. Like an arrow, the pike darted away, and with him the herring, the gudgeon, the perch, the carp, and all the rest of them. Even the sole swam with them, and hoped to win the race. All at once, the cry was heard, the herring is first, the herring is first. Wh
So Let Me Tell You...It is SOOO emotionally draining to go to a funeral home visitation of a 16 yr old and to leave there and have to go to the next funeral home for another visitation of a 15 yr old.
I sooooooo don't want to let my son out of my sight! :(
And yes I realize thats impossible. Just the way I feel after this evening.
SoleyUSS Soley (DD-707), 1944-1970
USS Soley, a 2200-ton Allen M. Sumner class destroyer, was built at Kearny, New Jersey. Commissioned in December 1944, she operated in the Atlantic before transferring to the Pacific fleet in August 1945. For the rest of that year and into early 1946, Soley supported post-war occupation activities in the Central Pacific and Japan. She then returned to the Atlantic for another year before entering the Reserve Fleet in April 1947.
In late January 1949, Soley recommissioned to begin more than two decades of continuous active service, mainly in the Atlantic. She went to the Mediterranean Sea for the first of many Sixth Fleet deployments in August 1950. In May-December 1952, the destroyer temporarily left the Atlantic, via the Panama Canal, to take part in Korean War combat operations, during which she used her guns to bombard enemy targets ashore. Soley returned to the U.S. east coast via the Indian Ocean and Suez Canal, thus completing a cruise around the

Slowly walking, stalking, soaking it all inside.
Pondering, wondering...thundering thoughts collide.
Hazy, crazy, racing, tasting everything she hides-
Maybe one day, some way, white rays will arise.
-Eyes of ice, a cruel surprise...these demonized tormented flies,
oh how they fly right by my sight, why deep inside I'm terrorized
and mesmerized but I will fight and exorcize the teeth of lies
that pry into her mind-
Waking, aching, breaking...caked in dreams that never stride
Pacing, grazing, facing her amazing brittle sky.
Hazy, crazy, racing, tracing every sin she guides-
Baby I pray one day my intrusion brings you light.

So Lets Pretend I Understand((Warning, there will be foul language. Break out the chicken and ducks.))
Just for fun, lets pretend that I understand what the hell happened. Just for the flucky fluck of it, lets pretend that ALL of my friends told me what's going on. Yeah, we're going to pretend that more then three people have called me in the last three months!!! Wow, look at me, I'm all special today because I have all these great friends off-line who call me and e me all the time. Oh, and who remember me on my birthday with a card, e-card, phone call, smoke signal, shit like that!!! Oh, and these uber ultra wonderful super fantastic loyal bestest buddies of mine always be sure and contact me in some way to let me know they got stuff I got them and liked it.
Oh, wait, maybe it never got there! Yes. Maybe the whole world is lying to me! People who saw the stuff get there, probably lied about it. And UPS? Oh they are HUGE liars. When someone spends as much fucking money on shipping as almost the cost of a fu
So..... Lets Play "friends W/ Benefits"Statistically speaking, unless you are a total hermit, social retard, or ugly as a bag of spoiled ass... There's at least 1 person on your fubar that wants to date you or sleep with you. So..... lets play "friends w/ benefits"
The rules are simple... if you want to date the person who posted this, send them a message to their inbox, not a reply to this bulletin, saying "Im yours".
If you just want to sleep with them and stay friends, send them a message that says "I'd hit it".
SCARED?
THE TWIST IS YOU HAVE TO REPOST THIS, EVEN IF YOU'RE TAKEN
& see who replies. There is at least 1 person on your BP that wants to date you, and maybe more that want to sleep with you..haha..
SO... re-post as "Friends with Benefits", as it doesn't matter if your married, in a relationship,or single..You opened it so you HAVE to repost it! A test of your bravery.. I wasn't scared
SoledadeI'm taking a Sunday walk on an empty road
the celebrated sun pushes from behind
my shadow stretches a mile long before me
I am not lost in thought I just walk
carelessly kicking pebbles and stones along the way
As if they were the scattered letters of individual words
of broken sentences from the answers I
have not heeded and now in my greatest need
They are just so much dust and gravel to scuff my shoes
stones to skip across the lake and boulders to build a cairn
for some-one who may or may not one-day wonder
for at least a solitairy moment
about the one who has taken the time and trouble
to use these wasted answers and all these
discarded dreams to build a monument of rubble
that has no meaning that doesn't do anything.
But when my own shadow is as my betrothed
my shade likened to a lover, there it is
my reflection has become my sole companion
everywhere I go
I have grown to detest my own wearisome caress
How I despise wh
So Lets SeeSo, let's see,
We have a President Elect who has never run anything, not even a corner store. Don't tell me he ran his campaign, because he didn't, he showed up and gave speeches. The candidate doesn't have time to run the campaign.
We have a Vice President Elect who thinks FDR was President and America had TV when the stock market crashed in 1929, (Herbert Hoover was in office and Television didn't become widely used until the '50's), he is also well known for his plagiarism in the late '80s.
We have a Secretary of State nominee, who has never run anything, not even a corner store. Her claim to fame is that she is the wife of a former President, who had sex in the Oval Office, disgraced the Presidency and was impeached.
We have a CIA Director nominee who has never worked in the intelligence field and is expected to take over during the most dangerous times we have ever faced.
We have a Democrat Governor of Illinois who is the process of being impeached for trying to sel
So Let Me AskMy MUM was deleted and I was told it was offensive. I think fubar just did not like what I had to say ... I voted by cancelling my VIP . It ends on the 18th. I won't renew . Funny but this site really has no idea of how to treat customers.
I pay for this site the same as many of you ! We are being told that we are to do as only they would have ... Now we are to rate real slow ... our auto 11 has been turned into something useless. the whole purpose was to gain points and now fubar has made a big mistake ... I think all of us should choose not to renew our vip ... not to purchase bling packs ... not to buy happy hours... this will send the message that needs to be heard . We are the customer ! We are their paycheck ! We are dissatisfied ! Am I wrong ?

Sole JokeA SAMOAN man walks into a cafe one early morning and noticed
that he was the only SAMOAN man there.
As he sat down, he noticed a
WHITE man behind him.
The WHITE man said, "COLORED people are not
allowed here.
"
The SAMOAN man turned around and stood up.
He then said:
"Listen UFA...(Fucker)when I was born, I was BROWN. When I grew up, I was BROWN.
When I'm sick, I'm BROWN. When I go in the sun, I'm BROWN.
When I'm
cold, I'm BROWN. When I die, I'll be BROWN. But you UFA... (Fucker)when you're
born, you're PINK. When you grow up you're WHITE.
When you're sick
you're GREEN.
When you go in the sun you turn RED.
When you're cold you
turn BLUE and when you die you turn PURPLE.
AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLORED?!"......
So, Lets Talk Shall We...I'm not the greatest person in the world but I'm pretty damn good. I raise my son on my own and and have little help from my family. I give what I can to others and I treat most people with respect when they earn it. So tell me, why is it that hard to make it in life? Why has almost everything in the world gone to shit? I've tried this whole dating thing again and it seems like more guys just want sex. Nothing else, no relationship other than sex. It kills me that most guys have made a relationship out of sex. My ex did that, it was more sexual than anything. Hardly any conversation unless we were fighting, little holding hands or cuddling. Thing that girls cherish, it's the little things that count to us. Don't make us feel like a peice of ass just because you want , make us feel like more than that.

So Let Go...jump In.It always astonishes me how quickly people will assume they know what you’re all about. Instantaneously. Within one moment of entering a room: a slightly obvious assessment is made based on appearance, walk, hellos, and then the inevitable conclusion is reached. Check all that apply: superficial, dumb, intimidating, unapproachable, self-absorbed. Call it stereotyping, stigmas, first impressions, whatever. I call it bullshit. Complete bullshit.We assess only in terms of extremes. It takes less energy to categorize one another into neat little boxes than deal with contradictions. We are either attractive or smart. Simple or complicated. Virgins or whores. Never both. We see in black and white and can never open our minds one quarter of an inch to imagine a rainbow of ambiguity.Like how the "funny guy", the loud easy-going boisterious one making jokes in slapstick fashion is actually very sad. Like how that “beautiful girl” dressed in an outfit that shouts innuendos acro
So, Let's Talk.I'm normally not someone that gets too involved in online communities or social things, but it's come to my attention that even in person communication is lacking these days. A real conversation should flow with a statement or question, followed by another question and a statement so there's a direction to take a conversation. That or some sort of thought provoking or response provoking dialogue. This, unfortunately, is missing. You can tell by those awkward silences in which someone says something to abruptly force you to struggle to find anything to say to their previous vocalization.
Now, with that out of the way, let's get into a few things about why I don't reply to most things I receive on here (and, it's really no offense). Do you often respond to advertisements and reply back with a letter about how someones doing when you get some junk mail? I didn't think so. So why on earth would anyone reply to someone marketing themselves. Now, I understand that there really is a popular

SoledadReconocer las tardes, se me hace difícil.Cuan monótonas se me pasan las horas, mirando el reloj.
Que cansados están mis ojos, de mirar la nada pasar.
Que incierto me parecen los días, cuando amenaza llover.
No recuerdo cuando fue la última vez que conversé con el hombre sabio.
Una de esas charlas que te hacían estremecer.
Se recostó a los pies de su pasado.
Se durmió a la sombra de sus recuerdos.
Sí, como añoro una tarde de mayo o de junio en que las horas eran infinitas Llenas de colorido, risas salidas del alma.
Momentos únicos que se han ido guardando en el baúl de los recuerdos.
Tardes grises, noches sombrías, amaneceres violentados por pasos en el silencio.
Te he esperado por tanto tiempo, demoraste en venir.
Te refugiaste en la pubertad de una sombra melancólica.Caminas arrastrando tu tristeza de año en año,En busca de un sitio donde esconder tu dolor.Viajas por cam
Sole Writer Of This Jokei put a lot of pressure on myself
probably more than i deserve
i know the me i tend to be
im fucked without restraint
maybe i should take a break
allow myself to breathe
but i feel the more i suffocate
the better off you’ll be
for if let loose i shall devour
and destroy all you have rebuilt
i’d poison the seed and turn sweet wine sour
i’ll don a cloak, no remorse no guilt
i’ll engulf and swallow up any good i might have done
i’d be a tidal wave of thorns in the side of all mankind
i would offer up as sacrifice the battles i have won
i would pluck these eyes of insight ensuring i be blind
i’d never worry about the feelings
someone else might feel
i would trample their emotions
yes, their essence i would kill
so you see it is self discipline
Solitary Feeling - 07/27/01It's that single solitary feeling, that creeps up your throat makes you say things.
Makes you feel the hurt, when they are said back and not meant.
Not shown in what is done and felt, not felt in what is lived and loved.
Just nothing, solitary.
Feeling, wanting for that feeling.
Solitary momment, solitary bliss.
Solitary person, me, alone.
Feeling Solitary.
Solitary feeling.
A Solider's LadyEverytime I think of you, you are always on my mind. Even though, you are miles away I still wonder when can I see you for the first time in the three years since I've known you. I know that it's gonna be a long road ahead, but that won't keep me from loving you so. Just why is it so hard to stop these tears from falling from my face? Is it because I miss you so much? Yes, all those times that we talked on the phone, I keep on getting closer to you.
Please come back soon, I miss you so much. I love you baby.

A Solitary Island Surrounded By A Vast OceanWhile traveling along my chosen path in the pursuit of perfection I have become aware that I am a solitary island surrounded by a vast ocean. Through constant erosion the surface has worn where it was lacking strength. Occasionally something or someone will come and alter the island somehow. Something as insignificant as walking can leave a lasting imprint of their visit.
The best visits however are when someone comes along who shares my love of this island. They do not fear the isolation and purity that it can bring as everyone else does. I embrace these few and draw them into the heart of it where the greatest secrets of understanding lie in wait. It is at this time that even the visitors that have constructed a home here choose to leave. Once again, I sit on my solitary island to contemplate existence.
What makes this island so appealing yet so inhospitable? Could it be that upon finding this well hidden jewel that they finally realize, as I have, what is really wait

A Solitary Ritual Of ThanksYou will need:
a large white or pink bowl,
one white candle,
spring water,
fresh flowers (white if possible),
and a piece of white cloth.
This can be performed outside or in, whichever you prefer.
Place the bowl on the ritual surface (your altar or the ground).
If desired, cast a circle.
Affix the white candle to the center of the bowl with warmed beeswax or with wax from another white candle.
Pour water into the bowl. Place the flowers in the water (either take the petals off or pop the heads of the stems and set the stems aside). Light the candle.
Visualize your reason for the ritual, remember why you are giving thanks.
Touch the water on both sides of the candle with your fingertips, saying:
Lady of the Moon, of stars and the Earth,
Lord of the Sun, of forest and the hills,
I perform a ritual of thanks
My love shine like the flame
My love floats like the petals
Upon you.
Lady of Waters, of flowers and seas,
Lord of Air, of horns and of fire,

SolitudeSolitude
Doesn’t anyone hear my cries?
Doesn’t anyone feel my pain?
Until the time of a new sunrise
Shall I cry out in vain?
Mine eyes have cried too many tears
My body and soul have felt too much pain
I’ve had the urge to destroy
As I have been destroyed…
I’ve had the urge to scream
Without the voice…
Can’t anyone see?
Am I truly alone?
Tomorrow, will I be gone?

SolitudeSo Solitary,
By myself.
All Alone,
Lost in thought
Time to think,
All is quiet.
Deep secret thoughts,
Not meant for others.
Surrounded by others,
Thoughts still run free.
Ignorant am I,
My ears close off the sound.
Emotions wanted, are exiled,
For only me to know.
Free from the world,
Far from my Solitude.
They know, yet I deny,
So dangerous are these thoughts.
Of all the grains of sand,
It’s that one that escaped.
To deny might turn away,
But deny I must.
Love so unbearable,
Yet fear so deadly.
Here I am again,
This is where it began.
This must come to an end,
Before I have no heart left.
So Like....So like..... My friend bought me cigarettes today when she knows I'm quitting although now I've tried weed.... I might start smoking that but not cigarettes anymore....whatev....
So Little TimeWe have been together
For a couple months
And now you're about to leave
In just a few days
It seems like tomorrow
But I know its not
Theres so much I want to do
So much I want to tell you
And show you
But I just dont have the time left
To make you see
Just how much you mean to me
SolitudeSolitude can be mercy,
It gives me back my peace.
It's mercy is a completness,
To my every need.
My mind can wander to places,
That I don't often go.
Places that can bring a smile to my lips
And places that can bring tears to my eyes.
The need to visit these memories,
Is a burning in my soul.
I remember both the joys,
And I remember the pain.
The mixture of emotions,
Is a blessing my friend,
The balance can be a fragile one,
Leaning either to laughter or tears.
I embrace all the feelings.
I treasure all the memories.
Solitude can be mercy,
It gives me back my peace.

Chapter One
The aged willow creaked gently as the rockers played across the boot-worn floorboards, the pop and hiss of wood logs splitting in the flames in the huge stone fireplace the only other sounds in the room. The old mellow log walls of the cabin absorbed and captured the sound of the outside before it reached the ears of the warm body, wrapped tenderly in a woollen throw, gently lulled to sleep by the rhythmical rocking of the chair.
The light slowly faded through a sky of orange and purple hues. Clouds spread out across the valley wispy and tinted pink in the light. The red and white painted barn was bathed in the early evening light as the mustangs made their way back up the pasture for the shelter of the rocky overhangs. The last song of the birds settling to roost fina
Solitaire Imbolc RitualSolitaire Imbolc Ritual
Micheal Hall
On your altar should be placed a circle of 13 stones and, within the circle of stones, a circle of 13 candles. Within the circle of candles should be spread some maize - i.e. corn meal - and in that a waxen female candle to symbolize the Goddess on your altar. On the eastern side of the altar should be placed a small sheaf of grain with a candle inserted inside it. You should dress in your usual ceremonial garb for Magickal rites or skyclad, as you prefer.
Retire to bathe in salt-water (use sea salt) before the ritual. As you do so picture the water cleansing the soul and spirit, just as it cleanses the body. When you have dressed, anoint yourself with a holy oil. When you have prepared yourself, sit in a dim quiet place and light a candle - ONE THAT IS NOT BEING USED IN THE RITES - and meditate on how at this time of year the Goddess in her fiery aspect AS LIGHT was welcomed back into the Temples and the Homes of the land.

Chapter Two
Outside on the front porch, he could hear the steady rocking of the chair against the floor. It had slowed now, and he knew she was finally falling asleep. Every so often, the sound would die away as she dozed and then start up again abruptly as she tried to stay awake. He knew the nightmares would take over when she finally succumbed to the sleep that her body and mind craved. Hopefully, she would be able to get a few hours first. He sat perched on the edge of the swing seat, leaning forward, his elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped together in front of him. He sat looking down at them, trying to come to terms with what was happening to her, trying to understand how she felt, but he knew he could never feel the loss and heartache like she was.

"solitary Pine"just another poem of mine. this is semi-recent, though it was written over the summer. i sent it in to a poetry contest, and it shall be published in an anthology with other upcoming poets. i'll provide more info when i know for sure.
"Solitary Pine"
Amidst the snow stands a solitary pine
Hidden in a valley where no light can shine
Stunted and malnutritioned from the bitter cold
Roots plunging deep from a trunk ages old
Count the rings beneath its blistering bark
Centuries of anguish have left their mark
Branches hanging heavy, laden with snow
The mountainous patrol leaves no room to grow
Adventurers have come to hack at its limbs
Phantasmal demons sing melancholy hymns
Dark angels have come and promised false light
Yet the tree still stands with unconquerable might
It's whipped not a branch in its struggle for life
Yet only isolation shall end its strife
Content being along 'til its roots curl and die
For the light it once sought was naught but a lie

So Little Time To Act On The Path I Have Finally ChosenI am writing to inform this is the same entry i had in my myspace as well originally in my xanga, figure I share it here too, and by the way I am not seeking rating on any of my entries, no one should get rated on how they write, so please no ratings. Feel free to read and or comment if anyone would like too,
To all fellow friends and co-workers and so forth, I have finally chosen a path in my life that will #1 either better my life or help me fulfill my life. I have in last few days had a lot on my mind and made decision to live life out alone. I will let my new Dark princess seek me out I am done seeking her out. I have done a lot of thinking a lot and one last person wrote me recently no names stating if I was meant to be with Ashley it will be. I am giving up on it, I am here but honestly I doubt she wants a friendship or anything ever. I am always told it is hard to do this, it is hard to do that, I am not here to force one to be a friend. I know a lot that is going on right no
SolitudeThis is for everyone who lives alone or almost lives alone.
I had just recently became single as of November of last year. Been kinda scared about living alone seeing as how I hadn't been alone in over 10 years. It was different coming home to an empty house, well except my animals. Sometimes its ok and other times it gets to you. Having a pc really helps though. You start to get to a point where you wonder where your life is going now that your all by yourself. You try to keep busy with work, kids if you got any, mines grown up. But there is always that cold emptyness there. You had gotten used to someone always being there then when thats gone you realize what an open void there is. In my situation it was for the better. It was a relationship where you kept trying to make the other person happy and keep giving and giving. Even to where you were supporting them cause they didn't want to work or help out. Some days you don't know what to do with yourself. There's only so much house
So Like, Yeah, Whatever...My friend Adam is from Ireland, and whenever he wants to make fun of Americans he says "so like, yeah, whatever!" in this horrible Irish man doing a valley girl accent, accent.
Um, anyway, like my profile says, I haven't slept. I'm near delirious! I'm also dizzy, and it's making me nauseous. If you REALLY want to know why I'm ill, you can ask. But only ask if you REALLY want to know!
In the laundry room at my apartment complex there's a sign that tells you how to best utilize the machines in the room. There are no front load washers there, HOWEVER, they saw fit to mention them anyhow. There is a typo, or at least, I HOPE it's a typo. It states "front load washers require less soup, only 1/4 to 1/2 cup". So...wtf?
Alright, I'm done for now. More Vomit from my BRAIN! to come later!

SolitaryYou say that your sky has been changing lately. That you're tired and broken. That the answers you thought you'd found don't seem to work right anymore.
We've been down these sad roads a hundred times before. Sat quietly on lonely hillsides. Cried with forgotten songs on the radio.
Always, it was our belief in other days that got us through.
I remember planting dreams with you,chasing wishes,watching flowers...But what I remember best is how you always made me laugh, even when the world around us was falling apart.
All these years, walking the solitary paths where I found and lost myself a thousand times, I never felt alone because you were in my memory. You were there...and I will always stand by you.
Go outside now and walk away.
Find one of those roads again in the quiet of gentle trees. Take this letter and hug your shadow and love yourself and remember these things: There is nothing in the world worth giving up for what you've already achieved. You will always be
SolitudeFriends deserted none left behind
Stragglers are few in the line leaving
Time and time again I wonder why I even try
Love and life are nothing more in my time
Heart bruised and battered
Nothing but a shattered remain
Solitude is all I have
For days and nights unending pain
SolitudeFor I have nothing to say
Who would lessen any way
I write these words every day
just therapy in its own way
In trapped from with in
Expressing my self seems to be a sin
In solitude is were I walk
my self conservations
Is what writing brought.

Solitary ConfinementYou laughed at my weaknesses
- so I feared to show them.
You trampled on my dreams
- so I dreamed alone.
You were too busy to listen
- so I never spoke.
You handled my secrets indiscreetly
- so I ceased to share them.
You were insensitive to my needs
- so I hid them from you.
You never seemed to understand
- so I stopped trying to communicate.
You hurt me by your indifference
- so I bled inwardly.
You wouldn't let me near you
- so I kept my distance.
You cared for my physical needs
- so my soul became impoverished.
You drove me into myself
- so now I am imprisoned.

Solitary Witchcraft And WitchesThere are many more self-initiated Wiccans and Witches
out there than practically any other variety of Pagan.
While a valid and legitimate spiritual path, self-initiation
and working solitary pose a few unique challenges to those
who would follow this particular path to the Old Gods. By
its very nature, the solitary path doesn't have a lot of
guidance available--usually you strike out on your own to
discover it all for yourself.
So why self-initiate? Why be a solitary practitioner?
These are questions you have to answer for yourself. No
one has a monopoly upon wisdom, nor on the Mysteries--these
are not things that you can own, only experience on your
own terms, and even then they keep moving, changing and
growing. Anyone who approaches the Gods with sincerity,
respect, and integrity can and will discover their own way
to commune with these essential forces of Nature. It means
hard work, requires creativity, persistence and
determination--it is a challenging path to
SolidersSoldiers come in all shapes, shades, weights, sizes, and states of sobriety, misery, and confusion.

He is extremely irresistible, totally irrational and completely indestructible.
A Soldier is a Soldier all his life. He is a magical creature. You

Soliel De MinuitWelcome fans -young, old, and slobberingly drunk. Once again, I must update you on the small things that happen in the short, eighteen-hour day I have. First off, it started when I was awoken by the shrill cry of the brat next door. Now, you're all probably thinking, "Babies do that." She's 15 and for some reason believes that by singing at the top of her lungs in the backyard - she will be discovered. Twice today I had to tell her to keep it down because she was ruining what small amount of peace I get.
So, after I shook my fist in anger... I was lucky enough to have the company of Casey. He's such a mooch / leech, but it is well worth i to see him yell at the TV during the De La Hoya / Mayweather fight. He is a big Oscar-Golden Boy fan and as Mayweather mud-stomped that little [insert colorful adjectives], he proceeded to add his own humorous commentary.
So... the following is for Casey: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Okay, maturity aside, I had to laugh at his expense
SoliderSolider
Standing in the light armor reflecting you seem to be a knight
Come to slay the dragon in the fight
No sword in hand only your wits and a tough command
Men and women follow you decisions with precision and care
Lives will be lost in the battle that follows
But each and every one knew the choice
And made the decision to be a solider
Flags wave and people cry
Reflection of what was and what will be shine in your eyes
Children play, people wed and time goes bye
All because of who you are
People complain and moan about the weather
Never realizing how much they owe to the solider
In our past, present and future time
Mourning and dark colors splay across the grass
Another solider has come home to rest
Not in loving arms or to see another’s smile
Bagpipes play a soulful song in the background
Whispers, tears and sad smiles grace the day
They were a solider until the end

Today I want to write about mistakes. You know, those things we do often in the course of our natural lives that require a slap to the back of the head on occasion. They come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of intensity. Some are quickly fixed or rectified, some linger and grow rancid in the back of our minds. Some we face full on, and others we walk quietly away from, into the distance and pretend they don't exist. Either way you look at it, we're all human, and we're gonna make m

I have been battered.
I have been sexually harrassed, objectified and exploited.
Pornographic images have been used to harm me.
I have been beaten.
I have been verbally and emotionally abused.
I have been spiritually abused.
I have told the truth of my life and have not been believed. I have suffered in silence fearing -- or knowing -- I would be called a liar. I have kept the truths of my life secret to protect or spare people.
I have tried to forget.
I have run from the truth of my own life and sought refuge and peace where it could not be found because facing it head on was painful and risky.
I have made excuses for the inexcusable, have tried to forgive the unforgivable, have struggled to speak what is unspeakable, for the truths of our lives as women are not welcome in a world in which we are not valued.
No more. I will never hold back again. I will speak my own truth without apology so that other women and girls may take courage
Solitary MoonStand up from your desk
and walk across the
hardwood floor
(hear the hollow sound
of your footfalls).
Open wide the front door
and step into the
cool night -
look into the dark sky
at the million stars,
not quite obscured by
the white city light.
Now, the yellow moon moves
across the heavens -
see through it, inside it -
you will see (within it)
a part of me.
Within the solitary moon
you will find my heart.

So Little Time And So Much To DoThis is HELL week for me so far... I have so much in the way of reports to create and print and distribute before some big meetings it is nothing but full blown stress... to the MAXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
I worked 14 hours yesterday and from what I see for today it will be just as much if not more.
Solider In Standoff With Police On My BlockIt all started off normal.My brother in law and myself on the porch smoking a cigarette.When a police officer pulls up across the street and is greeted by a soldier in uniform and another man who is clearly a soldier but in civies.The female officer got out of her vehicle and began to speak with the men when another squad car pulls up right in front of my house-"Go in the house! Go in your house!" is all he said,so we did
It turned into a three and a half hour standoff with a suicidal soldier.
It just so happens that those other two men were in this mans unit.They must have known he'd been depressed and alerted the Police who I imagine ,were informed there were weapons in the house.
For the whole ordeal we watched safely from the window.Dozens of officers positioned themselves around the area,and blocked off the streets.
A man on a PA kept trying to make contact with him.
"Wesley, come on man,..your not in any trouble.Turn on your cell phone so I can call you."
He continued
SolitudeI spent the day alone today.
I went to the mall alone (yes, I met a couple people there but I was only with them for about an hour...the rest of the time I was alone).
I went shopping alone.
I went to a movie alone.
I appreciated every minute of it, and for all that "being alone," I actually feel as though I engaged people MORE. Don't get me wrong (Shell, take a drink), if I had been with friends or my family today I would have cherished every minute of it, but I think the interaction I would have had with other people would have been so much less, and in participating in discussions with them, I may have missed this rare opportunity to take notice of the people around me. I spoke to people I may not have otherwise because I noticed things. It's almost as though I bonded with these people for a moment...no, not like DEEP bonding, I'm not that much of a freak of nature. However, for a brief instant these people and I shared little pieces of ourselves.
I had a wonder

SolitudeLAUGH, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of it's own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

So Lil Depression Leftso much love i feel for you
my depression is behind me
if i was to lose you my love
do i gain depression again
in the fading sunlight
i am thinking of you
as the sun disappears
there is still you and me
i close my eyes
as you kiss my lips
as i open my eyes
only my finger on my lips
i cant wait the day we are
together again making love
trying to make the product
the product of our love
a little girl would be great
but a boy is fun too
a boy just like you
or a girl just like me
please come back to me
my love is swollen
with no place to go
i love you so much
everyone can see
my heart bare to see
my love is naked as
my body in lovemaking
exposed to you
in love as my body is
exposed to you
longing for your touch
carrying your picture
in my hand i reach
to your face long
you touch my bare essentials
long for your caress
to send me to ecstasy
intense joy and rapture
in the state of blissfulness
A Soliders ChristmasThe embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,

Solitary Vs. CovenIn the age of abundant access to books and the Internet, the ability to practice as a Solitary Witch has grown. It would be impossible to guess how many practicing Witches there are today.
Today's Witches practice in two ways: Solitary and Coven.
A coven is a group of Witches, usually no more than 13, that follow a specific tradition with its own rules and ways. There are usually different levels of initiates in a Coven and joining one requires a great deal of time and commitment. Because of this commitment, it is very important that you research the traditions of your perspective Coven and meet its members before you consider joining. This is an important decision and you need to make sure you chose the right one. Do not take this lightly.
It is an individual choice to join a coven or not. Some people like group settings; others prefer solo work. Being in a coven doesn't make you any more of a witch than practicing solitary.
There is also a third option. Some Witches prefe
Solitary Eclectic WiccanSome visitors may wonder exactly what I mean when I refer to myself as a “solitary eclectic Wiccan.”
Taking each word in turn, solitary means I practice my religion as an individual, rather than as a member of a larger organization. Think of a Christian who, instead of going to church every Sunday, prays and worships privately without the supervision of a priest/preacher/deacon/elder and without a congregation.
I hold the conviction that as a child of the Divine, I have the ability to connect and commune with the Divine without having to go through a priest or other spiritual “guru.” As such, I worship at the times and in the places I choose. This may be a corner of my home I’ve designated as sacred space, in my back yard, or any other place of my choosing.
Eclectic means the dogma of my religion (for lack of a better term) has been shaped and molded by numerous other traditions. In my case, I incorporate various elements from the pre-Christian religions of Europe and the Amer
Solitary WomanYou think of me.

Late at night,
arms overhead,
silent,
dark,
upon a bed
as your pillow
cradles cold
like a rock
and
you long for me.
[i know it]
Fate stands still
‘neath shadowed moon,
brilliant,
pale,
it paints the dunes,
as your heart
quickly beats
with the clock.
SolitudeNo stars no moon
Dead of night
nothing
So hot in my soul i feel my heart blister
downward spiral back from the world of the living
No place for me there, this is home
The void
The darkness speaks sweet tones
a fragrance feels the air of putrid corpse and night jasmine.
I see my old friend, she floats on the air as she glides toward me
I welcome her with a nod,
I warned you she sighed
My last faint whisper
Its as good a day as any to die.
SolitaryI turn my faith into mountains
you walk out of this sentence
I treat you , like a runner
You fight under a false banner.

SolitudeHere I sit in solitude. Pondering over one person. She captivates me in ways no one can ever do. Yet I never spoken to her. I never get a chance to know her. Her bestfriend is the only connnection I have. Her bestfriend IS the reason I have fallen so deeply for another once again. I never ever in my life have fallen so deeply for another , yet never know them. Her bestfriend informs me she is terrified. Little dose whitney know I am scared more about not being with her than I am losing my father. My Father is my heart soul ME! He made me who I am and I will NEVER EVER take that from him. She has managed to surpass that. Yet she has never spoken a word to me. Yet she is always in my thoughts. Always on my mind. Yet dares to not to take a chance on pure true love. While I sit here torn, hurting , shattered & wondering if that love REALLY is there. O r did I fall for someone that dosent care. I know I most likely sitting here over analizing things. Cause thats what I do. But I have payed
A Solider Coming Home.....(i'm Posting This For An Awesome Friend Armymedic)WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME .....
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....
...to listen to his son whine about being bored.
....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.
to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
...to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
..to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
...to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.
....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
SoliderThe soldiers are tired and lonely after spending weeks in enemy territory. To entertain them the Major called for this HOT number from the nearby town.
She came, danced and when the first dance was done, the soldiers went mad. They clapped for 5 minutes.
For her second number she stripped and danced in sheer bra and G strings. This time the applause went for 10 minutes.
The next number she danced topless, and this time the applause went on and on. The Major had to come on stage and ask them to quiet down for the grand finale.
For her last number, she was to strip completely and dance naked. The Major expected the soldiers to make enough noise to bring the roof down. But ten minutes later, there is no clapping and the dancer comes backstage. The Major asks her, "What happened? How come there was no clapping this time?"
She replied, "Major, how do you expect those poor boys to clap with one hand?!!?"
Solitare Rose The ClubSmoke that hangs in the market of passion
taking the hand that is dealt you in rations.
Drinks with umbrellas to shots that are clear
strangle the doubt and kick out the fears.
She walked in with a mini-skirt grin
silken soft ride of shear legs from heaven.
Her skirt hugging her hips like red lip stick
cornering the bar and stooled up a saddle sit.
Breast perk pump up and a hand hair wave
looking at a stranger in the strangest of ways.
Her finger toiling with round the rim ring rubs
sitting at the starting gate, hunting the clubs.
Liquid courage for the tense and thirsty
waiting at the troft, her cup of liquid mercury.
Her eyes scan the room for a face that glows
a hunter of sensual passion, a Solitare Rose

I wasn't sure where to put this, either here or on my own page as a blog. But I figured you would see it here first. So with that said, here goes......
I don't know if i could ever make it through a day without you in my life now. In such a short time you and your girls have come to mean so much to me. I cant explain it, so I wont even attempt to. I have images of you running through my head. I see you dancing through my mind, with the words I want to tell you, the words I use to tell people about you. Beautiful, sexy, funny, sweet, intelligent, my one. I see you in my head, and I have conversations with you about nothing and everything all at once, like we usually do. But there is nothing I would rather do, then share every moment I have with you. Telling you all my secrets, my dreams, my fears, and listening to yours. Building our dreams, fighting our fears, being happy with you. I dont think I have e
SolitudeLife we talk of death
Each breath come closer to out.
Of this I'm not afraid
Though I don't know what it's all about
I don't know!
Decisions that we make,
The chances that we take,
The blindness we can't take.
Thought I knew but now I know what it's like,
To be alone...!
alone.......!
I remember here!
Thought it was a dream!
I never thought I'd come to this.
Living with the fear,
Now I know what it means
Never thought it'd, end like this!
Falling with no end...
Into what I've only done to me.
With messages to send..,
Out of what I've only done to me.
Falling with no
Calling with no
Crawling to the end.
I remember here!
So... Living In Lap Of Luxury??My ex seems to think that its okay not to provide for his new baby... he had gotten away with it for many months, but I just don't know how to let him know that its really hard on this side of the track. he is supporting 4 lil kids already and his g/f supports him. I know its none of my business.... this just F'in BITES,.
SolitudeI find that not many people get me. A few think they know me, others don't care to know me. I'd much rather get to know the latter. I miss those moments of seemless conversation free of strained useless chatter and full of meaningful useless chatter. Maybe I just miss my friends, maybe I miss HAVING friends. I probably miss the past more then anything because even my friends are in a total different place now. It's like when you're on a train but you're the only one who gets off at the station before the last. They traveled with out me, talked, laughed, cried... and so even if it was just 1 stop(year) away... it's lightyears away. Because of this I've resented friendship as a whole, building a wall of intolerance around me. I judge, I calculate, and sentence people to 3-5years of being not worthy. I raise my standards to obscene levels that not many can meet. Which explains why I'm almost friendless. I consciously do it to myself for a variety of reasons.
SolitudeOh do i think of myself too much
maybe i do just for little while
but don't we all
it was just a blink of an eye
here i am thinking on whether
to be or not to be
when i may be the only one
existence is relative
in existence of material
to be only in my mind
private to me only me
just a blink of an eye
barely aware of anyone else
felt shaken and did not respond
but did not care not even
the rows of lights faded
all would do most anything
for i was in my mind's eye
wallow in my own feelings
just a blink of an eye
solipsist is this my downfall
to be so preoccupied
let indulgence to end
the only one who exists
i have lived this oh i think i did
it was like watching from a distance
seems like someone else experienced it
i am not that person
Solitude"I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
-Henry David Thoreau
SolitudeStare into an empty room
In some empty house
People are there
Yet it feels empty
To the one who sits alone
In a chair in the dark
Voices coming from the stairs
And that one sits alone
To them the house is empty
And their world is beginning
Slowly, ever slowly
It's being created
So they wait
For the house to blow away
The people to be gone
So they could be
Alone
SolitaireSolitaire desperation,
waking up at your command,
Deep inside this lonely mind,
contemplating RESURECTION,
slowly fading into dark,
You hide behind your walls of lies,
never to see the truth with your own Eyes,
You cant see for you are blind,
that one thing is hard to find,
they cant save you from your life,
tired of fighting for Redemption,
sudden movement ,
suicidal fate,
alone again,
suffocating ,
suicidal solitaire
Solidarity As AmericansIt is two months until the general presidential election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. It's time that we all come together, Democrats and Republicans alike.
To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. Here is how:
If you support McCain, please drive with your headlights on during the day, or,
If you support the policies and character of Senator Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night.
Thank you and God Bless.

Solid Gold Moss Statue Revealed"A 50kg solid gold statue of model Kate Moss has been unveiled at the British Museum, in London.
The £1.5m sculpture, entitled Siren, is by artist Marc Quinn and is one of several contemporary sculptures in the exhibition Statuephilia.
Each work has been sited in a different gallery within the museum, placed with items from its permanent collection.
Quinn's sculpture is said to be the largest gold statue created since the time of Ancient Egypt."

Solid Under It All.I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep.
--May Sarton
"How can I do what you say," asked the child, "and still be me?"
"Look at me," said the tree. "I bend in the wind, droop in the rain. Yet I always remain myself, a tree."
"Look at me," said the man. "I can't change."
"Look at me," said the tree. "I change every season from green to brown to green again, from bud to flower to fallen leaf. Yet I always remain myself, a tree."
"I can't love anymore," said the woman. "With my love, I have given away all that I am."
"Look at me," said the tree. "There are robins in my branches, owls in my trunk, moss and ladybugs living on my bark. They may take what I have, but not what I am."
Whether we know it or not, we are like the tree. Only our pride hangs on to a false sense of self, wanting to keep everything, refusing to follow advi
SolitarySolitary Confinement
You laughed at my weaknesses
- so I feared to show them.
You trampled on my dreams
- so I dreamed alone.
You were too busy to listen
- so I never spoke.
You handled my secrets indiscreetly
- so I ceased to share them.
You were insensitive to my needs
- so I hid them from you.
You never seemed to understand
- so I stopped trying to communicate.
You hurt me by your indifference
- so I bled inwardly.
You wouldn't let me near you
- so I kept my distance.
You cared for my physical needs
- so my soul became impoverished.
You drove me into myself
- so now I am imprisoned.
Solitary SearchThrough the years of all the miles driven, always alone, never finding a companion
Searching through the darkness that's this heart
Empty, except for one, one who can't be found
Through the darkness of solitude, all alone
A light burns dimly ahead
Approaching closer, the light is a key
A key to what, no one knows for sure
Might it be a soul, or a heart
No one knows for sure until the end is reached
Coming closer to the journey's end
Still alone in this wilderness
A sight for sore eyes
Awaits at the other end
Approaching closer, the site changes
To an apparition of desire
Asking to speak, she speaks, but says her name will
remain a mystery
Escaping from certain doom, asking why no name
She says, there is no one worthy
Not a soul on this barren Earth worthy of her affection
This lonely soul is damned to walk alone
Never knowing the meaning of true love
All alone down the highways like the Gypsy I've become.
SolitarySet me aflame and cast me free
Away you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of Justice
Like some law unto myself
Like a child of God again.
And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubts from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.
In this picture stands a man
Far away, alone and distant
Like a solitary field
In some nameless foreign land.
All around him points of light
Start to dim and cease transmitting
Shadows fell on futile games
And then there was nothing more.
Through the screams of falling steel
By the light of flares and wisdom
All the doubts I could not face
All this time I wanted more.
With a line I mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
To the gods whose names we've lost
And the name
SolitudeSOLITUDE
I'm sitting here alone in darkness waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn I am crying
I long for my time to come death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
Hate is my only friend pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sacntuary I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude
Recieve my sacrifice my lifeblood is exhausted
No one gave love and understanding
Hear these words vilifiers and pretenders
Please let me die in solitude
Earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust

Solidaritydo i ever hate the way fubar blogs try and format things...
anyway, if like me you use the internet purely as a way of being late for work/ not doing any work/ not sending off masters to labels that have been waiting on you for months/ not watching LA Ink when your girlfriend's glued to that bullshit then this will fill three minutes of your time between looking for the new Jesu record on some blog or other and trying to resist the urge to look at porn.

Solidarity once stood for the fact that a lot of people shared the same thoughts about a certain thing. Solidarity today means nothing. It might do so for a short period in some peoples lives until the move on to better positions in life and careers. A lot of people find themselves fighting for solidarity within thier class in order to find themselves being in a generation older than everyone else. It's a scary thought that one day will wake up to find your friends and the mainfe
Solitude...I can't even remember what it was like
I've forgotten so much
The past has become clouded for me now
How can I learn from mistakes I cannot see
A summers day holds no joy for me
The breeze whispers to me no longer
I am now and forevermore encased in ice
Condemnation is mine
I long to feel my blood move again
Seek to warm limbs long immobile
Shake the foundations of my life
Carry me to a new day
I've fought for so long
Destined to die alone
Everything I could have been
Reaping all the tears I've sown
Now I walk these streets as one
All apologies I could give
Words pale in the face of what is
Solace I will find
Solitude is mine...
Solid As A Rock“Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?” Upon settling in their encampment in Rephidim after traversing the wilderness of Sin, the Israelites and mixed multitude who’d left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea on dry land, been miraculously supplied quail and manna (and would continue to be until they actually got to Canaan, see 16:35), and were once more on the lookout for water. When it didn’t readily spring up – for about two million people and their flocks and herds, it would take a lot – the start of the seventeenth chapter of Exodus shows us that the people were ready (under some careful guidance from a few rabble-rousers, I’d expect) to turn on Moses who had been the one the LORD used to lead them out of Egypt.
Apparently the people in their thirst had forgotten that it was the LORD and not Moses (he just acted at
SolitaireAnother day
Slips away
Through the fingers of my clenched fist
My emotions lay
In disarray
My heart has fallen into the abyss
It seems that pain
Is all I've gained
All else is lost
Though chance is to blame
For loss in life's game
It is up to me to pay the cost
Tears fill my eyes
As I cry
Over my heart's remains
Into the sky
I want to fly
But I am held down by my chains
Through the past
I have come so fast
Only to find my end
And at last
My time has passed
Death is now my only friend
As darkness is cast
I can only laugh
As my pain upon the world is doubled
And mankind is destoyed in a flash
By a great blast
Now my heart is no longer troubled

You laughed at my weaknesses- so I feared to show them.You trampled on my dreams- so I dreamed alone.You were too busy to listen- so I never spoke.You handled my secrets indiscreetly- so I ceased to share them.You were insensitive to my needs- so I hid them from you.You never seemed to understand- so I stopped trying to communicate.You hurt me by your indifference- so I bled inwardly.You wouldn’t let me near you- so I kept my distance.You cared for my physical needs - so my soul became impoverished.You drove me into myself- so now I am imprisoned.
SolitudeNow that we are here, fighting for out country, surrounded by my brothers in arms, I feel completely alone without you. Without your loving embrace, your warm kisses, the gentle touch of your hand on mine. I miss the times we stayed up late talking about nothing. Wondering if the war was really going to happen. I miss seeing your beautiful face in the morning. All I have to remind me of you now, is a sand covered picture of us standing on your favorite beach holding hands. You looked so happy in that picture. I miss your smile. When I come home, promise me that I'll see your smiling face again. I love you. Duty calls.

A Soliders ChristmasThe embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,Transforming the yard to a winter delight.The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,And I crept to the door just to see who was near.Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.Alone in the
SolidersI speak with words of fear
driving you deep into your soul
feel it burn within
take what it's for
For we are soliders
fighting for one kind
fighting for ones hope
for we are soliders
Taking one breathe at a time
for solid ground feels like a holy playground
for one life, is other child to be heard
we are who we are so breathe the words I say
Solitaire - 7/30/09
SOLITAIRE
This game did not yield
multiple personality excuses
to an only child whose misery
did not love company
Shuffling the cards incessantly
in the desperate hope that chaotic silenced emotions
could be so easily tamed
Masterful acrobatic digits had cards tumbling
smoothing furrowed brows with semblances of control
via accelerated snapping arcs that rose and fell
Knowing any real control popped like bubbles
prophetically leaving you with a wet sticky mess
Smooth textures belied its rough edges as you methodically
thwap each card down in military precision
Smirks linger for each and every slap of triumph
eradicating for mere moments ignorance’s smackdowns
Bittersweet irony for a girl perpetually thumbing
her nose at empty authority
to mark Kings to serfs in an unforgiving lineup
Only in this game do victory and failure have fleeting tastes
So comfortably addicted to effortless do-overs
leaving only the question of why we yearn

Sol InvictusInvictus by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.

I used to wander around in a land of pure imagination, a few graphics here and there, a massive tug of creativity from my fellow players the very thing that drew me there and kept me there. I would say that I was under the whim of addiction, and I created a breeze with my own creative talents that many would recall as a hurricane lashing.

also training rigth now for new job gonna be stock supervisor for the brick canadian furniture store....gonna be cool for sure :D :D :D :D :D
So LovelyHm. So.. where should I start? Now that is a question with such endless possibilities.
Now where would I start? Oh, I know! I have been sick for the past 3 weeks, though somewhat major symptoms have arisen within the past 3 days. So I went to the doctor's office Friday, get prescription meds and the like. Come to find out one of the meds is a pain relieving/caffeine pill. Needless to say, I am so exhausted and I need sleep, and yet those damnable pills are keeping me awake. Hence my being online at 10 in the morning on a Tuesday, knowing that I have to be at work in.. 2 hours. Wonderful.
Now I have far too much time on my hands and I am in thought. What will I do once my year vacation from any type of classes is up? Will I further my education at Virginia College here in Huntsville, or will I go to UAH? There are so many classes that I want to take at UAH, but the college itself is expensive and I am sort of on a limited budget. Of course I can go for scholarships a

So Lonesome I Could CryHear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I`m so lonesome I could cry.
I`ve never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry.
Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves began to die?
That means he`s lost the will to live,
I`m so lonesome I could cry.
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.

So LongIt's been so long
I am realizing how long it has been since my most recent rape. It will be THREE years on April 21, of 2007. Wow. I have tried so damn hard to push it out of my mind. To push away all the childhood incestual molestation, the other rapes...they all have hurt. They all have eaten away at me over time, however, the rape that occured in April of 2004 has made the biggest impact on me and left the deepest scars.
I have kept saying "I have to heal. I have to get better. I am stronger than this." but I MEANT IT. The problem is, I can deal with most of that rape. The problem is there are parts of it I have BLOCKED purposely. I have done it out of fear and yet self protection.
I want to make myself better, hence all the better eating and fitness exercising. I want to better myself. I want to be happy again and now that I have started feeling the joy, I know I DESERVE this. I hate reliving it. It hurts so damn bad to see it all again.
I have started having flashba
So Long To Senior HighDays of the school year,
Slipping by so fast,
Hardly any time,
To reflect on the past,
Days of times,
friends spent together,
Making this school year,
Just a little bit better,
And nows the time,
Of 12th grade graduation,
A day long awaited,
With great anticipation,
Regretful and sad,
We must say goodbye,
To friends and teachers,

So Lost And Still Alone In The WorldWELL EVERYONE~
I WISH I DID NOT HAVE SO MUCH DECISION TO MAKE IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW BUT I DO.
I HAVE TO DECIDE TO LET MY MAN GO AND LIVE HIS LIFE
BUT OH I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY OF COURSE BUT THAT IS ONE THE OTHER IS IF I SHOULD TAKE MY OLDEST DAUGHTER BACK TO HOME TO OUR ORIGINAL HOME.
THE THIRD IS IF I SHOULD JUST STAY AND STICK IT OUT
MAN I DIDN'T THINK THAT LIVING IN A CITY WOULD BE SUCH A HASSLE FOR ME
So, Looky Here....I didn't come online for a while. Then I did. Did anyone notice? Have I missed anything? What's going on?
So Long And Sorry About All The Spam...Sorry about mailing out that last blog entry. Well, and this one, too... since I want to make sure everyone gets my apology. I promise from here out that I won't send anything more unless it is incredibly emergent in one way or another. ;c)
I just wanted to try out the new sharing thing and chose the last blog I'd written which just happened to be the spammy one. I didn't give much thought to how that might look.
As for SpicePad (z0mg, I linked it again! Naughty! ;c), I'm still enjoying it and am kind of addicted but the site is definitely not as well put together as CT. So if you don't like it, I'll still see you here. You won't hurt my feelings if you don't join or don't hang out there. I promise.
So Long, And Good Night...I don't know if it's just me, but I don't see the reson for having a ton of so-called friends that you never really have time to talk to all of, e-mail, chat with, or even talk to on the phone. So, for all those on my friends list, you have until May 18 to let me know if you're worth keeping on my friends list. Those that I am a fan of, I hope you can give me just cause to remain your fan.
I'm sorry to be blunt, but honestly, I just don't see the point. There's too much in life to be worried how many "friends" I have in my friends list or how many fans I have. Hope that someone out there will actually take a moment to send me an e-mail and give me a good reason to keep you on my friends and fans list.
Oh, and for those that think they're exempt, this isn't true. All will be removed if no messages come my way to let me know that someone here cares.

Solo TravelWrapped in my bedroll, I look up at stars
colder than any woman I have known.
I need a break from towns and streets and bars.
I need to be out here and on my own.
There's something in these waves of rock and space
that I can learn to call on, I expect;
Someone -- and I might never see His face --
who'll know my need to center and connect.
I keep on riding, day by night by hour,
not knowing what's ahead, what rocks I'll climb,
praying for some connection with a Power
that I can ride with, down this trail of time.
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish!!!!My fiance of 5 years and I are getting married next month! No big thing, just doing the legal stuff at the courthouse. That is why I entitled this blog the way I did, because I will no longer be "available".... not like I was before, but I think you get the idea...
Not much else to say... so, laters!!!
So Long Old FriendsYes it's been a crazy road,but we are coming to it's end.My sunday nights will never be the same.I've laughed, cried,cheered and booed.I have screamed with anger and looked on in fear.But all of that will soon be over because there are only 3 more episodes left.Then it will be time to say good bye to tony and the gang.One thing is for certain I will never forget any of them.I know some of you out there are thinking this guy is loopy! But No this is not the case.and if you have never watched the sopranos,Then I can understand why you would think such things.But if you are reading this and you too are a fan,then I have no need to explain,not to you.I found it very interesting to see this big mob boss "Tony " handle all the mob business that he does, yet it seems that at times it is near impossible for him to deal with the often trying times of raising kids and dealing with everyday family life. Yes, I was hooked after the first or second episode and soon all I will have left is the memor

So Lonely In The Lone Nightlonely guy stares at the stars in the cold night
There are just tears and past memories. It's the long time night.
Your hug never come back again?
How much I love you but we far away in the end
The empty heart, so lonely in the lone night
Must bear in the bad dream, last times stuck in my herat. When morning comes? When will I forgot?
The word "bye" when we were far away, you just spoke silently.
I listened with tears and hurt heart. How will I forgot?
Wanna forgot you but never know when.

Soloman And The Witch“ Solomon and the Witch “
And thus declared the Arab lady:
“Last night, were under the wild moon
On grassy mattress I had laid me,
Within my arms great Solomon,
I suddenly cried out in a strange tongue
“Not his” “Not Mine”
Whatever has been said, sighed, sung
Howled, Meowed, Barked, Brayed, Bellowed, Yelled, Cried, Crowed
There on replied “ A Cockerel”
Grew from a blossoming apple bough
Three hundred years before the fall
And never grew again, Until now
And would not now but that he thought,
Chance being at one with choice at last.
All, that the brigand apple brought,
And this foul world were dead at last
He that craved eternity
Thought to have crowed again
For though love has a spiders eye
To find out some appropriates pain-
Aye- Through all passions in a glance
For every nerve tests a cover
With choices of cruelty and chance
And when at last that murder’s over
May-be the brides bed brings despair
For each imagined image brings
And finds a real image the
So Long Kelly P.Aphrodite and Cupid were watching over the Kodak Theatre this week as Final Six Idol Contestants sang love songs this week. Being a closet romance freak, I was hoping to find some moving performances from our stellar six. Coached by the incredible Andrea Bocelli and his "buddy" Dave, the idols were truly prepared for this weekÂ’s vocal battle. Katherine McPhee tackled Whitney HoustonÂ’s "I Have Nothing" with the poise of a champion songstress. She lost focus on a few notes here and there, but the overall performance was far beyond solid. Finally, Randy and Paula had some good constructive criticism to hand out to Katherine this week. The judges were all quite harsh, but America didn't seem to agree. Katerine was in the top two this week and seems all but assured of a spot in the finale. If Katherine can just keep pumping out the star quality, she will be this seasonÂ’s winner. Katherine does have the competition nipping at her heals. Chris Daughtry sang a vocally clean and po

Solomon And The New BabySo My son is solomon is getting so big he will be 4 months old on the 20th and then my new baby is due May 12.It is going to be a blast to get to have two babies around the same age.
So Long And FarewellI'm not a very open person by nature, but for this blog I will do my best.
I first want to thank everyone I've met and especially to those whom I became friendly with.
Due to some VERY unfortunate things that took place the last day or so, I will be deleting and leaving Fubar by the end of the day.
The last few days I became relatively close to someone who I felt a kinship with and who I qucikly began having feeling for. BUT that wasn't enough for SOME people to respect or appreciate, and for that I am sorry. I came here awhile back because I was told it was MUCH different than other places I was a member of, but sadly, it turns out, it is identical to those other place. LOVE, HATE, JEALOUSY, INSTABILITY among other things run rampant here as well. I've left other places for those same reasons, and since I've found, in the last day or so, those issues exist here as well. I've decided, today is my last day here.
To that ONE special person, I am sorry for any pain I may have

So Long; FarewellIt has been so nice to meet you. However, as much as I love this site, it seems to tax my computer connection. Therefore I need to keep it to a minimum to be on here. Please feel free to keep in contact with me through my email address: Cra_Z_D8s@yahoo.com
Hopefully Your Friend Forever

So Looks Like I'm CreepyI thought this place as a place to meet people and become friends. How is asking for a nice public meeting in a nice public fast food joint creepy? I don't understand, I go out of my way to plan it so you would feel safe, I saw those things on CSI and other crime shows where private meetings from the internet turn ugly, that's why I wanted it public. So how is that creepy? Is that you think I'm some kind of criminal because I have long hair and a beard? Is that it? That's bigotry and judgmental on your part. Or was I right all along, I'm ugly. Or is it something I can't possibly comprehend? Comment if it's neither of these two things. it's a wonder that I don't end it all.
So Long For Awhile!so the time has come for me to write another blog its not gonna be a good one tho! well for those of u that acutally read my blogs i am lettin u know that i am movin outta state! blades or christin will not be online for awhile... i will only be online to check my mail and 360s and all that stuff i wont be online to chat...im movin to be with my boyfriend and i dont need net drama in my real life...thats all what the net has caused me and i am choosin to leave it all out of my life...im sry for those of u that i havent really talked to much im sry and for those of u i have talked to well yanno...lol...but like i said i will keep in contact with everyone im not deletein my names or anything so ill still keep u posted on my stuff...i loves u all and hope all is well...till i come back peace!
Solo Album Review!!!**CV REVIEW ON ALLMUSIC.COM**
Check it out!
The last few years have been tumultuous ones for Chris Volz. Beginning in 2004, the singer/guitarist lost his label, and along with his band, Flaw, formed Five.Bolt.Main, saw that unit disbanded, recorded a solo album, then re-formed Flaw before his solo set even hit the shops. Much of that upheaval roils through Redemption, an album searching for salvation while cagily refusing to make amends. And never more so than on the title track, which angrily opens the set, with Volz defiantly insisting "you can't change me," even as he admits "we're a meager mess." And messy relationships, contradictory impulses, and emotional maelstroms are the foci of his album, as the artist psychoanalyzes himself, his friends, and his lovers in song. Across the set Volz uses his emotional insights as a weapon, a crutch, a way to distance himself from others, and occasionally as a way to reach out and comfort. In the end, though, problems never really see
Solo Album And Run Down Of My PastAfter the breakup of FLAW and the forming and shortly after disbanding of Five.Bolt.Main, comes the debut solo album from the front man of both groups Chris Volz. "Redemption" is released on Rock Ridge Music on Spetember 11, 2007 that was home to Five.Bolt's debut "Venting". Doing everything that he wants to do on this album in his own way and direction with no holding back. This album is a great representation of Chris's material and vision. Showing hints from both groups and a whole other side of Chris that we haven't seen with either band. These songs are catchy and very melodic.
Opening with the title track "Redemption," resembling Five.Bolt.Main, this song kicks ass and has a catchy FLAW-ish chorus. Hitting us with "Altercation" catches us in a song that we have never heard from Chris before. Good catchy vibe but still on the rock side. The next song will being us to the emotion of Chris and a just kind of a pop rock ballad comes "All My Life." A great catchy ass pop rock tune
So Longso fuckin true... I did pick something new up on a friend I guess.

So Long!Hey Folks
Trixie Laroux here and I have decided to get the heck out of Dodge. Someone on here who on my friend list and even in my family decided that I am a liar; all because I had not been able to order their video. I fully intended to but as I am not working right now...well keeping a roof over my head and my animals taken care of is a little more important. I am not whining or complaining at all. Just very upset and near tears over someone who I have never even met face to face or talked to one the phone said to me. They were extremely hateful and I don't need that right now. I have made good friends on here and the people who really know me...know that I am as real as they come. Evidently some people are just extremely immature. I will send you the damn money for the video if it will make you happy!!!! SO LONG! Please repost because this jerk blocked me so he won't see it and I would like him to know how he hurt my feelings. I didn't deserve that at all. So I am leaving becau
So Long Evel!Iconic Daredevil Evel Knievel Dies at 69
By MITCH STACY – 3 hours ago
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Evel Knievel, the red-white-and-blue-spangled motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over crazy obstacles including Greyhound buses, live sharks and Idaho's Snake River Canyon made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.
Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.
Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills. He also suffered two strokes in recent years.
Longtime friend and promoter Billy Rundle said Knievel had trouble breathing at his Clearwater condominium and died before an ambulance could get him to a hospital.

So LonelyI get so lonely
waiting to hear from you.
Would you please drop me a
line and make my day?
I've been lying here,
thinking about you all day.
I miss you,
and I've felt so empty
since you went away.
Only you can make the
sunshine return
and send the darkness
on its way.
So LowHello, meet my problems
I only miss you when I'm with you
I gotta fly car to jet around town
Gone sour to the bone
Gone bad to the marrow
Financial situation's depleted
Guess a slap in the face is what I really needed
From a strong hand to make me a man
What more could I ask?
What more could I stand?
I'm so low that I wish I was dead
With a knife in my chest and a bullet in my head
I'm so low that I wish I was dead
Must I go on?
Sold all my friends today
I'm so low that I wish I was dead
Gave everything away
Now I'm bound only by twine and thread
Just give me time
Don't give me time to miss you
Just give me time
Don't give me time to miss you
On a short leash yet she was earth bound
So I threw her in the lost and found
Now she's scaring me
A fine charity
With a pink trombone and a tuning key
So just ignore the footprints
And just ignore the sand
My epitaph stands before me
So wear your ego to the funeral of a frightened man
Saw her standing in the doorway
So Long AgoAs I bend down to pick up a rose, the rain pours down from the sky and mingles with my tears, dripping onto the pavement. The salty water makes bright patterns in a puddle of oil. The colors blend and shimmer like you eyes did so long ago. Now the cold flatness that lays beyond them refuses me admittance and I am alone once more in the rain. My eyes burn from the steely grayness of the sky and the tears in the oil. The sobs that rack my body exhaust me and offer me no more solace and comfort. Defeated by my own self pity. Memories rush back, tug and pull at the happiness I used to have so long ago. A voice breathing softly in my ear reminds me of midnight conversations, dreams coated in gold and evenings of such sweet delight that no one will ever understand. The simple joy of being I once felt so long ago a thirst for the day that dares to compare brought me here. The rain pours down on my feverish skin and my eyes still burn and I am sure that they are red. A useless emptiness fills
So Lonely...Yet again I have nobody on this holiday to come...sigh...my entire life and not once have I had someone special to buy chocolate for...or hell even flowers for that matter...everyone I come across loves to fuck with my feelings. Why should this year be any different? Just another lonely day...a reminder that nobody wants me, that all my efforts and love put forth towards a special someone are always taken advantage of...maybe one day someone will actually love me and not lie about it...maybe one valentines day I will actually have someone...
So Lonely So BlueI feel so lonely
I feel so blue
I have got a problem
I don't know what to do
I don't have anyone to talk to
don't have anyone to share this with
it is hard to go through life without you
I miss talking to you
I miss our time together
what am I going to do
I know I can do this
I have to have the strength to go on
I have to have faith in myself
in order to make it through
I thought you would be there
I was hoping you would be near
I don't know if that is going to happen now
I know I can do this
I know I have the strength
It is just I am so lonely
I am just so blue
Please give me a chance
I did not do this on purpose
I did not want this to happen
Please understand
I am just as scared as you are
I just don't know what to do
So Looking Forward To Tomorrow!!!!!Ai, it has been an ok week. Up and down with my son. Hhe did something bad that his girlfriend can't forgive him for, he apparently had sex with another girl. Yes, my 16 year old son! So they have been here fighting a lot and I have had to listen to it. Not pleasant. Especially having my 12 year old hear it is not cool at all.
I think I see my daughter just as much now that she has moved out. Kind of funny. She stops by all the time, to do laundry or to eat.
I have some workers here right now doing yard work for me. Peter sent them over from work since they had 2 hours to kill waiting for something to finish at work before they could work again. It is nice having all the yard work done for you. They are great employees we have.
I really wanted to boycott Mother's Day this year. I didn't want to spend it with my Stepmom and my mother is dead. I also don't feel like a very happy Mom either since my son is putting me through Hell. So I told my Dad we would not be jo
So Long Overdue. (nsfw)So yes it has truly been a while since I have written anything to share with you all. Very much long overdue. And like the couple in this story their desires were long overdue, despite only being apart for a few hours. Hope you enjoy...please feel free to comment.
The material below is erotic writing which may be construed as offensive to some. If you are easily offended I would recommend not reading futher as it is not my intent to offend anyone.
_________________________________________________
To much time has gone by. Your absence has left me wanting you more then I have ever thought possible. At night I dream of the touch of your palm, the taste of your kiss and the feel of your oh so soft skin. These dreams leave me longing for you with each passing night, driving my desire rampant and unchecked. I give in to these dreams, each and every one. My body responds with sexual excitement and energy.
I know you are about to walk through my door, that you will return
So Long Too LongMy man loved me so much
he wanted to kill me
cause he loved me so good
he wanted to die
cause he loved me without sorrow
so sad without tears
he loved me to kill to die to cry
so much he wanted to scream
cause i loved him too much i
drank his tears
loved him too much
i ate his strength
loved him too much i stole his joy
i loved him to drink to eat to steal
cause we loved so much
so good to love to love
so long to love
so long
So LongWhy did you hurt me
You just couldn't let me be
Why would you do this
Hurt me with your fist
If this was supposed to be true love
And no one else above
Then why would you do this
Hurt me with your fist
I did nothing wrong
Yet you made me feel like I didn't belong
All that time
You made me feel like I commited a crime
If you ever truly loved me
you would have just let me be
Was it a joke?
I never meant to provoke
I guess I was never to find out
What you were really all about
I am sorry
I didn't mean to make you worry
Was I gone to long?
I know I don't belong
I don't undersatnd
How you can think your a man
After all these years
I still shed tears
You were my worst fear
But now my life has shifted gears
On to new things
with hopes they do bring
To be in this happy place
going at my own pace
no more worries
no more fears
Oh how my life has shifted gears
So Long, GoodbyeKeep changing your mind.
Like clouds in the sky.
Love me when your high.
Leave me when you cry.
I know it all takes time.
Like a river running dry when the suns to bright.
So long this is good-bye.
Maybe we'll meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
Maybe we'll see clearly in a different light.
Keep dodging lights.
Like a thief in the night.
The sun will rise and expose all the lies.
So why deny that you and I lead different lives.
The rivers from your eye's can't change my mind.
So long this is good-bye.
Maybe we'll meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
Maybe we'll see clearly in a different light.
Ohh...
The rivers from your eye's can't change my mind.
So long this is good-bye.
Maybe we'll meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
Maybe we'll see clearly in a different light.
So Long As I'm Here.i'm half tempted to scale the "mountains" of Utah in search of Ryan. I'm pretty sure he didn't get too far in the search for himself. I think it would be rather funny if I found him and we searched for him together.
....it would defeat the purpose of him going off alone. i miss the kid hahahahahahaha!
