2 year anniversary!

Well! It has been two years since I started this little blog. In that time I think it has become more of an open diary than anything else. What will the next two years bring? Maybe somewhere, way down the line, like 70 years from now, someone will use it to add stuff to my eulogy. (yes, I plan to be around for the next Halley's comet) Anyway, rather than add something new, I am going to republish some of my first writings for you. So here is one of my early favorites.
Enjoy!

MY Manifesto....
This is something I had prepared for a Survivor Audition Tape but at the last minute decided to do something different. However, everything in my little manifesto is still true. Never did get on that stupid show...
Who I am is a husband, a father, and a son. Who I am is someone who believes that without the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, you can never find real happiness or prosperity.

I believe that it takes a real man to find a woman who is your soul-mate and love her for the rest of your life.

I believe that most modern Americans are soft, lazy and over legislated, but we are still the greatest nation history has ever known.

Politically, I think most left wingers and liberals are self-loathing whiners who want Americans to be hand fed by the government.
I believe that to hunt, track and kill wild game is the best way to get closer to being a natural person, not wearing sandals, eating tofu and hugging trees. Vegetarianism is unnatural.

And speaking of things like hunting, gun control is hitting your target on the first shot.

Drugs, even casual use drugs, are for losers. I’ve never used them, never will.

I have never much been interested in athletics, but believe that to let oneself go physically is a sin. I believe in staying in the best shape that one can.

And speaking of athletes, I think most professional athletes are over-sexed, over-medicated, moral degenerates that have no place being role models for our kids.

My biggest regret is not joining the military service. I would have made a great soldier.

Living outdoors, sleeping under the stars, without a whole lot, or very little modern conveniences, is what I call a vacation.

I am a great liar. But I have a guilty conscience so, I hate to lie. But when needed, you will never know I am doing it.

I believe that in order to have friends, you must be, and act like a friend.
