Now i can say I once again tried breathing life into this dead horse. I wonder WHY it died? Days without a post.
What and where is sanctuary now?

Yeah, I have been trying to check in every other day. Been working way too many hours. And while I'm earning a lot less money, I am greatful to have a job.

We need a friggin recruiter...
=/

I do love your effort Jim.
as for me we just took 10 days off. and did....nothing. We went to the movies once the rest of the time I was between pulling my hair out of frustration and hitting the books with my German. We were supposed to go to Great America, and the museums downtown and to get me a new tattoo. Instead all SOMEONE wanted to do was sit around the truck stop and edit videos and play online.
Which left me to like I said above pull my hair out and study German.

Yup. . . .

I like Germany.

I wanna go there. . .

You are so completely random Wes,but it's all good cuz so are we. Anything new or interesting in your life bro?

Getting ready to play the Sanctuary Stage at Cornerstone tonight - at 8pm. Then staying on at the fest for the rest of the week. Looking forward to getting away for a bit. Been having some woman issues.

Also - getting ready to deploy first of August - only I'm going to Tampa (2 months) & San Antonio (6 months). Not really looking forward to it.

I'm gonna miss the kids the most . . . the drama that has been my life lately not so much.

Have a great show tonight!!


Tampa isn't that bad, San Antonio I'm not real crazy about. I guess you can look at the bright side and say at least you're stateside. But 8 months away from family is hard no matter where it is. I so respect what you do.

Oh and we women - we're always an issue!!

This'll be my first time in Tampa - I've been to North Fl, and Orlanda - but not Tampa. Hopefully I'll have a chance to see something of the city. I'm hearing 6 day work weeks - for training. Meh. At least I get to do advanced weapons training.

San Anton I've been to - so I might remember some of it - it's been 13 years. . . .

Thanks for the support.

And yeah - women. . . I was thinking it was just me! ha!

So how was your show??

Advance weapons training sounds awesome!
I actually LOVE Florida. Typical Midwesterner, as soon as I get there and I'm surrounded by palm trees and that warm tropical air I don't want to leave. It's actually a beautiful state.
Texas is just too dull. There's too much dull colored vegetation it kinda washes itself out. Also I tend to get frustrated by all the Mexican culture integrated. And yes I am half Mexican, But there it's like the state just forgot that we have laws about jumping the border, there's mexican flags hung alongside American flags and everywhere you go near a big city is full of spanish language advertisement. It's just frustrating and sad.

Stop by more often bro, keep us updated on what's goin on.

I totally respect and am grateful for the sacrifices that our forefathers made in creating this country BUT I think if a most of them saw how being super p.c. and accepting everyone no matter what has changed the very face of our country...they would have said "Meh..England's not that bad"

After Victor had that awesome Jefferson quote as a sig awhile back I found these...

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson


The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

if he was to say this nowadays, he would have been run out of Washington and labeled as a threat.

Good posts.

Well - the shows. Tuesday I was absent. My GF has an emesis episode (vomiting) that lasted around 16 hours - so I took her into the ER. We were there for many hours - and she is better now, but I missed our Tuesday show. I went to C-Stone on Wednesday, and worked the rest of the week.

We played again on Friday, and I hear we sounded pretty good. We got some good comments from the folks there, so that was cool. And I got to see Theocracy and Souljourners - so that was way cool!

Saturday was rain day. I still have mud all over and in my truck. It'll come off. . . someday. . .

I do look at the board for a few moments every day, but my online life is definitely less now.

Billy has been given a final diagnosis of diastolic heart failure after five surgeries in the last year and a half. There is nothing more that can be done surgery-wise. The heart is building new arteries to compensate for the two shriveled and closed arteries, so he must have a strict diet and exercise program to help the heart do this successfully. He suffers from massive chest pain when he overexerts the heart - amazingly, that can happen by exercise or shopping - it just depends. I get to tease him a lot now.

So we take each day as it comes... but less online and more in the here and now.

Who is Billy, Is that your husband?
