freeflir29 0 #1 June 7, 2005 Damn I did.........for a couple months anyway. My life was in high gear going where I wanted it to and I was enjoying the ride. I should have known better than to expect that to last. Oh well..........I can always hope for a VBIED or a nice small arms ambush to put me out of my misery. I know life is one long series of kicks "SquaHHH in Da NUTZ" but after 33+ years of receiving them I still fail to see them coming. I might have thought I was better at this.

lawrocket 3 #3 June 7, 2005 Quoteafter 33+ years of receiving them I still fail to see them coming. You know, Clay, what you said right there is why you're great. Knowing some of the crap you've been through, you proceed without looking over your shoulder. Why don't you see these things coming? Because you'd rather enjoy the highs and deal with the lows than never experience either. On South Park, Butters had a great quote: " I'd rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy goth kid." Yeah, Butters was glad to know he could feel upset. I thought it was a great line! It's a good thing, Clay. When you feel like that it shows you care. There are honestly worse things in this world.

Rainbo 0 #6 June 7, 2005 Man, you sound like you need Rainbo to pack up one of his special bottles of Tequila and hop on an airplane. Problem is I can be such a trouble maker that they would probably not let me get off it. I can even pack my own heat, hey do they allow you have tequila and guns at the same time over there???

LouDiamond 1 #10 June 7, 2005 Quit your sniveling, Burger King Boy.It's never as bad as you think it is, it could always be worse. Suck it up and drive, on as said by the man "Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the Prom Queen." BTW I am eating sushi for the 2nd day in a row and drinking a beer right now and it's barely past 12 and you want to know why? BECAUSE THIS IS AMERICA AND I CANYou will be home before you know it and watch what you wish for. My Cpt and Jr. Engineer sucked up an IED the day before I came home. I'll be giving the memorial speech this friday.

Deuce 1 #12 June 7, 2005 I've been at it a little longer, and I'm here to tell you, suck it up because the more you let yourself feel down, the less prepared you will be when things get even worse. You're dry and fed, and that's pretty cool. Hang in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douva 0 #13 June 7, 2005 I find that whenever I think I have it all, that's usually the calm before the storm. Make it through those small arms attacks and come home. It's not possible to be really happy if you've never been really unhappy. Bluer skies.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

MGSkyFlyer 0 #14 June 7, 2005 I know it may sound ass backwards, but dance with this. To truly love lif e we need to embrace the good and the bad. This is all a matter of perspective...go outside and yell SOY EN FUEGO! Do it! Now! Do not hesitate for one moment about taking this life in, even if circumstances are not what you want them to be. It is true...be careful what you wish for...is absolutely true... How can we enjoy the view from the top of the mountain if we don't gp through every obstacle in climbing it? Suck it up or get out of the game...that's the advise I gave my sister when she was learning how to play softball...I told her there was no crying in baseballl heheh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #15 June 7, 2005 Clay, Sometimes "today" does suck... especially where you might be. But look forward - not tomorrow, cuz honestly, tomorrow might suck too... I mean REALLY forward... 5 years, where are you going to be, who you will be at that time, the plans for the future.... or even further.... 15years.... But in all of this looking forward stuffs, don't loose site of the details today. A SAW has lots of details, a fight has lots of details.... so look at those too. OK... enough babbling. Just saying "take care" and hurry back (the sheep miss you) And if you need anything.... let me know. Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #16 June 7, 2005 Yes, I really know what you mean. One time years ago, I was talking to a buddy of mine about this. He is older and I value his opinion of things. When I had 100 jumps, he had 1,000 and the mentorship stayed even after he quit jumping. Anwhoo. One time I was telling him about some big tragedy in my life and how it seemed like the worst thing I have even had to endure.... His words of wisdom? "Ronnie, You are what 30? Well I am 38, and I can tell you that just in the time difference between where you are now, and where I am...You will feel like you have reached the end, and that this is the worst you have ever felt...*At least* 2 more times in the next 8 years if your life is anything like mine." It does not feel good to think about it, but in my life as I look back I can think of a few cases where I thought it was the worst it could get......And it never fails I can think of another event a few years later that made that one look like nothing...And then a few more years....Well you get the idea. You think that this is the worse it can get? You think that life sucks....Nah, its just the *current* issue. The farther you get away from it...The less painful or troublesome it is. You may not like to hear that...I didn't want to hear it..But if you reflect you will find it is true. We are the same age (OK ya got a year on me), but if your life is anything like my buddies....You have 1-2 more big problems in the next 5 years...I have 2-3. So maybe that will make you feel better...I still got one more than you coming."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paige 0 #17 June 7, 2005 Yes, as soon as I 'thought' I had it, it was gone. You always run the risk of life getting in the way of what you really want to do. If we saw them coming, they wouldn't be any fun More importantly, you'd never have the highs if you didn't have the lows.Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
