The title pretty much sums up what this blog is about.  Right now, I am going through some things that are pretty shitty to say the least.  I have been married for 8 years, and I have known for quite a while that things have not been the greatest, but I thought we could work through our problems, so I think I really just stopped working at making my wife feel special...with that said, she stopped trying also.  We are going to counseling starting Monday, but I dont know if it is too late to fix what is broken.  I feel like my world is crumbling around me, and I dont know what to do to fix it, and I think what I am trying to ask is does anyone have advice about what I should do?  I know there is going to be a bunch of stupidass comments about this, hell its ebaumsworld, not exactly a marriage help website, but hell why not ask right?

Okay, I am going to rant a little here, but hell that is what blogs are for I think.

September 11, 2001.  Thousands of people died in multiple attacks on our country, not just our country, but they targeted the financial nerve center of the world.  They attacked the Pentagon, the headquarters for arguably the strongest military on the planet, and crashed a plane in Pennsylvania.  All of these attacks were heinous, no doubt.  Innocent lives were lost, and when I say innocent, people who had no ties to those who killed them.  Some may have been closet child molesters, rapists, even murders themselves, we will never know, so we will assume for patriotisms sake that they were all upstanding citizens of the country and the world.

As far as conspiracies go, they never end.  Some say we attacked ourselves because the warmonger Bush wanted to go kill shit...I personally think that is a dumbass way to look at this, trying to make it something it is not.   The same was said about FDR when Pearl Harbor ... Read more ...

From the famous words of Paul Harvey

I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;

I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man's
effort, instead of God's blessings;

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of
the other way around;

I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;

I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to
leadership;

I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life, and invent
machines to make it convenient;

I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that life of animals are
valued more than human beings;

I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was ... Read more ...

Without a doubt, reading a Medal of Honor citation can bring a cold chill over your body.  It shows the kind of steadfast dedication that some people serving our country have to their country, and to their brothers-in-arms. 

MURPHY, MICHAEL P.

Rank and Organization: Lieutenant, United States Navy
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as the leader of a special reconnaissance element with Naval Special Warfare Task Unit Afghanistan on 27 and 28 June 2005. While leading a mission to locate a high-level anti-coalition militia leader, Lieutenant Murphy demonstrated extraordinary heroism in the face of grave danger in the vicinity of Asadabad, Konar Province, Afghanistan. On 28 June 2005, operating in an extremely rugged enemy-controlled area, Lieutenant Murphys team was discovered by anti-coalition militia sympathizers, who revealed their position to Taliban fighters. As a result, between 30 and 40 enemy fighters besieged his four ... Read more ...
