Blogger's Block

The postings have been pretty sparse lately. I added the photos that I got from the safety centers web site after modifying them a little(adding captions) but otherwise have been pretty uninspired to do much else. Retirement is fast approaching, see the countdown at the bottom of the blog, and I feel like I am losing my mind trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. This is worse than senior year of high school, at least then I knew what I was going to do when I finished, but I have no idea what I want to do after the Navy. I am constantly driving my wife up the wall, and she is returning the favor. There is something to be said about making a six month deployment every so often just to get a break. I think that is what is wrong with us now. We had gotten so used to being apart that now we have forgotten how to be together. I am sure we will figure it out, but it is very frustrating right now. Things just feel like they are moving to fast, (funny how the older you get the more this happens) and I just need to take a deep breath, relax and let life take me where it leads me.

Hold Still!

I'm more of a "Half Empty" type person.

Holiday Cheer

I was going to wait until a little closer to Christmas to post this, but decided this was close enough. Enjoy...

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the sub
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a nub
The COB was all nestled
Asleep in his rack
Now free of the fleas
That once roamed his back
The rover was sleeping
Back by the MACE
Unaware of the drool
That covered his face
When up on the sail
There arose such a clatter
That topside awoke
To see what was the matter
When what to his
Wondering eyes should appear
Than some fat dude in a sleigh
Pulled by freaking reindeer
He leapt from the dogshack
And fell on his ass
Unholsterd his weapon
As quick as a flash
Slapped in a clip
And fired off a quick three
Then climbed up in the sail
For a closer look see
Upon reaching the top
He exclaimed “Suck my dick”
For lying before him
Was a dead ass Saint Nick
Three shots center mass
To bad he didn’t miss
But then again Santa wasn’t
On the access list
The children are sad
Topside don’t give a damn
‘Cause for stopping an intruder
His ass got a NAM
