Retired. All you guys are working and I'm celebrating the Marine Corps Birthday. I put 38 years into working everyday just to enjoy this moment. Six years of active service in the USMC. Went in on my 17th birthday, came out a Man. Learned a lot. Mostly, how the other half lives. No running water, no toilet, no sink and certainly no TV or internet. Wow, how the world has changed! Be happy folks. The world is a better place but always be cautious of comfort.
I've been digging the heck out of this Solo. It's not quite there yet but it's getting close. We'll all keep working at it and we will make it better. It's places like this that bring things to fruition. People like you and me that actually force change. Maybe that is the new world order, force change.
I want every one to leave me alone in my little space in this world. Far removed from everyone else. Retired. Paying out 35-40% of what I'm supposed to get from the sale of my business in federal taxes alone. Forced to pay 30k for medical insurance annually, super high deductibles of course. I stopped flying my flag, nobody is looking out for me.
I worked my ass off, served my country for six years and all I get for it is a never ending tax bill. Taxes on every single thing I chose to do. This isn't what I spent six years of my life for; I thought I was protecting my own. I thought I was making things better. I just gave them what they wanted, service for nothing. I've got absolutely nothing to show for my service. I've got Brothers that no longer have limbs, families destroyed and broken. I've got nothing but the earth beneath me.
Cherish it. Before long you'll realize that's all you've got as well.
Sorry if I rained on any parades, it's my birthday Man! It is what it is, I only know truth as I see it. Sorry fella's, I had to get it out of my system. Back to birds!
