March To The Beat Of Your Own Drummer
I am writing my sad pathetic blog this week hoping that I will be able to reach those who still don’t get me.
If you don’t get my twisted sense of humor from this blog or my posts on VAJoe then you may need to seek medical attention or enlist in the service. That should fix you right up.
I am referencing a certain individual in my first statement as that is how she referred to my blog. You know I couldn’t resist…
At first it I was upset with her but the more I thought about it, the more I realized she at least had read what I had written. She had taken the time out of her sad and pathetic day to do so. I am so honored. I also became aware that she was also making a weak attempt at controlling me and my actions. I guess I was suppose to pack it all in. Stop writing and take all my toys home and walk away.
As you can see that did not happen. In fact she has inspired me to continue. You see inspiration can come from the positive as well as the negative in our lives. Of late I have had more negative inspiration but I am a strong woman and though I get fired up and tell it as I see it, I also know that can still smile and laugh out loud over most of it.
I would be remiss if I did not thank all the people in this world who I have come across who have shared their cruel words and their cruelity with me. They have served me well! Thank you!
I am not a quiter. I have never been. I have failed at times. We all have. But I have always tried. That is the key here. One never knows what they are capable of doing without trying. If you try and fail that doesn’t make you a loser. But if you never try because of your fear of failure then you are a quiter. That’s just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions…
I don’t know know everyone’s circumstance so who am I to say really. Fears often control us. The thought of what others will think of us often limit us to keep it simple and not take risks. We will keep it just below the radar in the risk taking. I have no fear of what others say. I do have certain limitations though. I march to the beat of my own drummer. I always have. It is very liberating and but often lonely. In the end it is a good place to be. I can sleep at night knowing that I did what I believed in. I am not a follower. I am a leader even if I am only leading myself. I instill this in my children. They know that they have to do what is right for them alone. Not what the group says is right. I hope this will keep them a bit safer from the peer pressure that is surely to come. I want them to be strong enough to say no to the drinking, drugs and the girls that will toss themselves at them. I will be sure to have my Ruger and Mossberg on display…just kidding…sort of!
In my daily life I have a reputation as a hard worker. I sometimes would prefer to just take it easy but I know that it is better to take the path less travelled. I have standards and I am proud to know that the efforts I put forth are being recognized. When given a task I will get it done. If it requires me going above and beyond the call of duty I will get it done. If I have a problem with the task at hand I will simply let my boss know and we will work through it. I don’t sweep things under the rug. I learned long ago that eventually someone will lift that rug and you will be exposed. Honesty is the best policy and you will maintain the respect that you have worked so hard to earn.
It is sad but true that one lie or misrepresentation will destroy all we have worked so hard for. Is it worth it? Honesty IS the best policy. We have all learned this the hard way I am sure as we are all human.
I did receive some good news this week!
The Obamamessiah has selected Joe Biden as is running mate. I has been unable to wipe the grin off my face. Boy will this be fun! He has opened a can of worms and I have my fishing pole ready to bait. How perfect. This guy so full of one liners and so much more that will become fodder not only for my cannon but for the Republican cannon as well.
I have been checking up on him and have found some interesting videos and statements attributed to this man. The fact that the Obamamessiah introduced him as the next President of the United States is real rich. Talk about a Freudian slip! Let’s not forget that Biden introduced the Obamamessiah as Obama America. HUH? Did I miss something? When did that name change become effective?
I personnally think he will be the behind the scenes president if the brainless wonders somehow get the Obamamessiah elected. He will be the puppet master and The Obama will be his mouth piece. This way all the liberals will be filled with joy and prove to the rest of the world that we are just as European, sophisticated, and non-racist as the rest of the world. What a crock of crap. I guess it tastes good once you get past the first few spoon fulls. No thanks! I am a picky eater.
Let the games begin!

I hate the learning curve! But what else can I do? I drive on as we all must and one day my ship may come in. OR maybe my canoe. Maybe this time it will have paddles…LOL
