Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

Seaman John Sullivan (US Navy) received his Medal of Honor for his actions from June 23-25, 1864, on board the U.S.S. Monticello. His citation reads:

Served as seaman on board the U.S.S. Monticello during the reconnaissance of the harbor and water defenses of Wilmington, N.C. 23 to 25 June 1864. Taking part in a reconnaissance of enemy defenses which covered a period of 2 days and nights, Sullivan courageously carried out his duties during this action, which resulted in the capture of a mail carrier and mail, the cutting of a telegraph wire, and the capture of a large group of prisoners. Although in immediate danger from the enemy at all times, Sullivan showed gallantry and coolness throughout this action which resulted in the gaining of much vital information of the rebel defenses.

Congrats to the U.S. Women’s National Soccer team on their big win yesterday in the 2015 Women’s World Cup Championship!!!!!!!!!!! This is the 3rd World Cup championship for the USA (and the first since 1999). They were a fun team to watch.


I’ve got a new book you have to read. It’s not really “new”… in fact, a movie has already been made about it (I haven’t seen the movie, so I’m not sure how close it is to the book)… anyway, you’ve got to read Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. This is one of those books that lets you know that whatever “bad day” you think you’re having isn’t nearly as close to being as bad as it could be. It’s an amazing book.
