I get drunk and talk shit to the squash., you know, completely sane stuff. Call them dicks for judging me, mention that they've been putting on weight and really ought to take care of themselves a little better - how much they remind me of their mother......really put em in their place, thus affirming my own.
MLA, ever actually counted how many people you run across in a day?
Quote:It's like that Shakespearean blood on the hands that won't come off thing. They keep coming back to haunt me as if each bad memory becomes an apparition inside of my mind. I am constantly being reminded of how I've fell short.As am I, as are many of us. Some of us even have -actual- blood on our hands, not miasma or metaphor. You can ruck it Joe, I promise you that. We all reach and fall short. Every single one of us. I'm not sure that forgetting that would actually be all that good of an idea. If you can't forget about something you've done..perhaps that just means you aren't the kind of douche who does something horrid and then immediately forgets about it, as though it never happened? I still agonize over things I said to some poor girl 20 years ago...because I was a dick, and I realize that now, eh?
Quote: When I think of myself there's two sides of the coin. On one side there's the person who I want to be. Smart, good looking, someone who people like, talented.Right, I'd like to look like Brad Pitt, fuck like Don Juan, make friends like Mr Rodgers, put beauty on canvass every sunday at 10am like Bob mothafuckin Ross and sci swagger like NDT.......... but it aint happening for me either. That's okay though, isn't it? Having "the total package" however we conceive of it, that's just fantasy.
I just wanted to tell you that I also have those experiences.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
