Memorial day.

A lot of things seem to happen on Memorial day. Here on Cape Cod it means that the tourists invade. It also means that the weather seems to suddenly get really nice. It is also a day when soldiers, wars, and conflicts are talked about. It seems to me that the most patriotic thing that an American can do is to make sure that we remember as few soldiers as possible.

By that I mean that we should afford every effort to make sure that we are as peaceful as possible. That we never need soldiers. Wars are hell. Ask anyone who has ever been in a war, and seen their friends die, they will tell you that its not anything like the movies. Every bullet fired is a failure of diplomacy. Every person killed a failure of reason. Wars should always be the last resort. I say on this memorial day, we think not just about the dead, but how they got that way. They gave the ultimate sacrifice because the humans of the earth couldn’t work things out without violence. In a perfect world, soldiers would be fat and lazy, like the may tag repair man. They would never be needed, and they would never end up dead in some other country. This memorial day lets all try and remember the sacrifice of America’s soldiers, but lets also try and make sure that future soldiers will not need to give that same sacrifice.

Closer to my personal life things are going well. I have been working a lot. Keeping myself busy. Making sure that I pay the bills, and the rent. I have been trying to get a lot of things going all at once. It seems like all the pushing is finally paying off and things are starting to move. Lets just hope I can keep it up.
