Apparently, when we merged sites, my Handguns posts got added to my Arfcom posts, so now I''m OVER 2000, and didn''t even get to make an "inspirational" or "meaningful" #2000 post!
Here goes:
I love this country.
I love the people that serve it.
I love the people around the world who want to become PART of this country, and those that respect our way of life.
I hate terrorists.
I hate people that support terrorism.
I hate parasites, criminals, cheats, liars, and slackers who only take, and never give.
My greatest wish is to have my life MEAN something, and though I fail, I keep trying, even if it means sitting midnights and weekends in a little guard shack at the airport. What I do is practically meaningless, though if NOBODY did it, people could die. I'm just a little ball-bearing in the machine, and the machine would keep running without me, but DAMMIT, I''m THERE, and I CARE. The job isn't much, but I do it to the best of my ability. Let's just say I [i]might[/i] be slightly "overqualified."
There are "mouth-breathers" in this job, and I hope they find something else to do, and I hope that common sense will prevail over some of these policies. But let's face it. Not many people would want to do this for what they are paying, but I am glad to have the work, and am glad to be able to give a little back.
Keeping the faith, one day at a time, and doing the best that I can.
