If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

Most people just think of that day as another day away from work and do not realize freedom is not free.The last few years have noticed more and more people aware of what the day means except President Odumbo who will be on vacation but will manage to come back to see Paul McCartney in concert.He is the only President the out of the last few that has not gone to Arlington GWB missed one but he was at Normandy.Oh well what can you expect from a person that uses his blackberry for church what a fkin dumba$$

The Soldiers at Lauro by Spike Milligan
Young are our dead
Like babies they lie
The wombs they blest once
Not healed dry
And yet - too soon
Into each space
A cold earth falls
On colder face.
Quite still they lie
These fresh-cut reeds
Clutched in earth
Like winter seeds
But they will not bloom
When called by spring
To burst with leaf
And blossoming
They sleep on
In silent dust
As crosses rot
And helmets rust                                 Remember what this weekend is really all about.

I don't like a lot of Billy Ray Cyrus songs but one stands out to me.

"All Gave Some, Some Gave All"

Billy Ray Cyrus - Some Gave All

Hell, I can't even watch it without the dust getting all stirred up in the house.  :'( :'(

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

I had 2 of my best friends come home from Nam in body bags before I got my chance to go there. I will remember them and many more Monday.
I am not any Cyrus fan but I liked that song. Thanks for posting it.

What I do today is very important because
I traded a day of my life for it.

Whatever you want to do, do it now.
