Hello to all my subjects and a Happy and Blessed New Years to You ALL!
It seems of late that time has gotten away from me and I haven’t taken the time to enjoy the things that I truly should.
The fact that I constantly am ailing doesn’t help matters, but I shan’t be using that as a crutch any longer.
While I lay in bed within the Royal bed chamber in the wee hours of the AM the other day I began to think about my life as it is
now compared to how it was a decade ago. In sum I realized that I was surely bestowed with many blessings in my life that I have taken for granted these past few years. Allowing my condition to rule my life and attitude towards my life was the wrong way to live. I guess that I was letting my depression get the better of every situation and thus creating a great deal of animosity with the ones that I love. I can only hope that it hasn’t hurt those relationships to a degree of non-repair.
I see each day how the youngest’s attitudes towards myself and the Queen has become at times almost unbearable. We know that the only reason she remains with us is the fact that she would no longer have her transportation method that she has become so reliant upon. As for the relationship with the elder, she is working at taking care of her obligations to a reasonable level and hopes to leave the kingdom as soon as financially possible. That will be a said day in Bedrock when she goes. I also notice that the Queen and I tend to be short with each other more that we used to be. I guess her depression is getting the better of herself as well.? Just another gift from our lovely accidents!
Well I guess my resolve has to kick in and start to take my life back from all of this. I long for the happier days, the days when we would get up and look forward to doing things together. I know deep in my heart that we can get back there if we just put our minds to it! Even if we just start with one little thing at a time. I have started to make myself wake up earlier each morning, but that seems to be falling through as by around 10 am I am very tired and go back upstairs and lay down, and then when I next awaken it is after 1 pm. Whoa Sleeping Beauty has nothing on me but Looks! Oy and this lousy weather and now the snow we are getting is definitely not helping much! I don’t even have the energy or strength to go outside and clear off the driveway and walkways! Alas who but I or the Queen would do it!? Wait yes there is a far off memory of a time when the two young ones would argue over who would be able to use the snow blower to do the clearing! AH those carefree days of yesteryear!
Enough of that depressive crud!! We here at our castle do have some pleasure and entertaining good times! Yes we have a kitten that gives us unending moments of love and laughter. Perhaps we should take a lesson from her and find enjoyment in our lives in the simple things, like hanging out on our cat condo 
or even amusing ones self with a straw! 
AH! To be as carefree as a kitten! One can only wish!
So my thoughts for this day are simple: When all of the burdens life throws at you are more than you can handle leaving you so you don’t know what to do…
Follow the advice of my kitten just leave it all behind you and off to your kitty condo you should go!!

Simply Christmas
‘Tis the time of busy streets,
Merriment and lots of treats!
Of packages filled with heart’s desire,
The end product of shopping trips from which we tire!
Christmas trees all full of lights that shimmer and sparkle on snowy nights.
It is the time of memories future and memories past.
Ones that go and ones that last.
Of childhood wishes and childhood pleasures.
Of little dolls and pirates treasures.
‘Tis a season that’s ageless, forgotten by time.
It carries with it something that’s priceless but cost not a dime.
It requires no outlay, no spending, it’s free!
It is something that’s dear to you and to me!
Everyone has it, no one’s left out!
If you ask what it is people will gladly shout…
“It’s joy and hope! It’s peace and love!”
“It’s wishes met and prayers answered from up above!”
If by now to this you are not a witness,
The answer now I’ll tell you…
“It’s simply Christmas!!!”
by: myself, His royal Majesty, the King!!

It seems these days that I haven’t been too much on my game. I guess you can say that I have been complacent about things and the direction that my life has been taking. All in all I tend to just sit back and let the world pass me by and watch from the side lines just belly aching about this and that. Well that really doesn’t do a darn thing to change things or make them better. One could say that I followed the “Procrastinator’s Motto”…. “Why do Today what you can Put Off until Tomorrow!!” It seems that a great deal of us seem to be falling into that rut. This is a bad thing. It has many ill effects on ones self and those around them. I notice that the more complacent and lax I become the more depressed and unmotivated the Mrs gets and the more depressed and agitated the young one becomes. (Not fun to be around when this happens.) 
Up until today I really didn’t think too much about it.
This morning I was checking my emails and had received a link from my wife. It was rather appropriate for the way I have been lately and it was also a real eye opening motivator, if I do say so myself. It hit me hard smack between the eyes. It’s impact was more that I had originally anticipated when I first looked at the link compared to when I actually sat and watched the “movie” that the link contained. I thought that it was something that I should share with all of you and let you decide for yourselves how to react. So with no further ado here is the link to click on….http://usawakeup.org/
Once you have viewed this please let me know what you think and perhaps what we should do to motivate others to watch this video as well!?!

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe who is going to end this War? Well I don’t know, Do you? Apparently one of the potential Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces doesn’t exactly know either. It seems that the illustrious Barack Obama has put his foot in his mouth again. In an attempt to change the belief that he is flip-flopping on his platform for dealing with the Iraq War Obama made the following comment “I’m going to call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and give them a new mission, and that is to bring the war in Iraq to a close. We are going to get out.” There seems to be one problem, I guess Barack Obama doesn’t understand the role of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Joint Chiefs of Staff does not have operational command of U.S. military forces. That authority resides in the commanders of the various Unified Combatant Commands. CENTCOM is the command with responsibility for Iraq [and 26 other countries including Afghanistan and Pakistan]. Earlier this month, the Senate confirmed President Bush’s appointment of General David Petraeus as CENTCOM commander. Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno is the new US commander for Iraq, replacing Gen. Petraeus. Those are the people, along with the Secretary of Defense, to whom the orders Obama spoke of would be issued.
Knowing that Senator Obama, “is a student of military matters and intellectually voracious, it is thus rather stunning that he would betray such ignorance regarding the way the military actually functions. In truth, the Joint Chiefs are not part of the chain of command. Indeed, they are specifically by statute not part of the chain of command but instead serve solely in an advisory capacity to the president. Surely Obama knows this. Obviously he wouldn’t be seeking the role of Commander-in-Chief without knowing how the job is done. So what follows will be familiar to him, but may be enlightening to the media types who to date have overlooked yet another Obama misstatement.”
If you would like to get a bit more insight into this issue and some of the history of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, you can click this link to The Weekly Standard.

Today I was planning on writing this whole long blog about how I love my country and how much things have been changing of late for the worse at home and abroad. However, I received an email from the USN Master Chief of my clan that sums it up pretty well. It touches on a great many points that we need to think about on this day of celebration. Please take a moment and read the posting on the Thomas More Law Center Blog that I have placed here. It is entitled ”Happy Independence Day!
“ Just give it a click and you will open a new window where the posting will come up for you to read. Thank you.
I would just like to add a few sentiments of my own, even though they are so eloquently expressed by both Father Dennis Edward O’Brien of the United States Marine Corps and Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center.
We need to remember to be thankful for the freedoms we have today. To give quiet thanks to our Brave Forefathers for obtaining these freedoms and to say a prayer for our Heroic Military men and women who are ensuring that we can enjoy our freedoms still today. And if you happen upon a Veteran or Active Member of Our Armed Services, whether it be Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, National Guard or a Reservist, take the time to stop and thank that person for putting themselves in harms way for you and your family and for protecting our liberties and glorious nation both here and abroad. Give them the recognition and kindnesses that they deserve!

A change of topics today. The Mrs, aka the Queen, told me about this video on YouTube so I watched it and thought it kind of hit some good points to think on. So I have decided to add this to my message for today! It is called “If I Were A Terrorist”. It tells you some interesting things about what James Pence would do if he were in the role of a terrorist. SO, please click and watch this and think to yourself
Hmmm could this already be happening!?!
Our government wouldn’t do this to us. Or Would It…???

I am becoming even more nervous everyday with concern for the fate of this Nation. At first it was candidate vs.candidate is now Presidential candidate and Vice Presidential running mate! BUT even on top of that you not only get 1 Clinton you get BOTH Clintons if Obama wins. Next what really is disconcerting is how little the populous knows about the smooth talking, slick dressing Mr. Obama. There was an internet video portrait done of Obama that was forwarded to me by my Better half. I think it discusses quite a few things that we ALL should know and think about before making a decision on how we would like or dislike this Young Politician becoming this Great Nation’s Leader and The Commander and Chief of the Greatest Armed Services in the World. In an effort to help you become better educated on this matter, just click on this Portrait of Barack Hussein Obama
. Please take the time and watch this video. It is quite something to think about. I am not trying to diswade you from following your own judgement for the election, I am just trying to make sure everyone gets The Facts”. SO lets just take a few minutes sit back and absorb the information.
I am happy to review and comment on any items concerning McCain that come my way as well. If anyone would like to send me some information, or even to say hi, just send me an email at

Today I decided to write about something off of my normal track. I love my country and as so I am deeply concerned about this presidential election. The news is full of constant arguing between Obama and Clinton’s corners. This tends to dilute and hide the issues that we all should concern ourselves with. More focus on how to resolve job loss in the US, illiteracy, poverty and disaster recovery to areas that have been devistated by natural disasters seem to me to be of more importance than slandering each other. I am perplexed at the moment as to which way I will vote come election time, but right now I feel like it is going to be an election to choose the lesser of all evils. Who will do the least harm to this country should be in our minds.
I have started to review, in more depth, articles I find more off of the beaten path. They tend to be about the speeches made by the candidates. I received an email that talked quite a bit about Obama’s mistakes and turn-a-round statements. Here is the article : Barack Potatoe Obama
It tends to parallel Obama’s faux pas to those made by Dan Quayle and point out how the media jumps on McCain’s age for his mistakes but raise Obama up as “Captain Competent.”
I don’t know who to believe these days, but I am tending to lean towards voting as they did in a movie that I liked quite a bit. It was called Brewster’s Millions and I want to vote for
“None of The Above”!
How Are You Going To Vote?!?

Yup that is correct! Our oldest daughter graduated from college on May 18th with a degree in Integrated Marketing and Communication. Now what the heck is that you ask? So did and do I to this date. All I know is that she has landed herself with a Bachelor of Science Degree from The Park School at Ithaca College. That means that she went to a prestigious school for landing a job in the fields of marketing, advertising, public relations and television and film! What does that do for our gal you say….
Well that means that she has landed herself an internship at a moderate sized PR, (Public Relations), firm in NYC. Thats right, our country bumpkin is going to be taking a bite out of the Big Apple this summer! Unfortunately for us that meant she was heading off to Gotham exactly 1 week after graduation day!! Oh sure don’t stress the rents out at all. Just give us the shortest time to pull together everything needed for a Grad Party in 3 1/2 days, as we returned home Tuesday evening and had to have the party on that Saturday, May 24th, as daughter dearest had to head to NY on Sunday Morning since her internship commenced on Tuesday.
Well this is Tuesday and she is in NYC at her new job and I am here typing so that means that we all made it through!! I have to tell you though that I did have my doubts a few times during the preliminaries of the party and send off. What do I mean by this you query? Well, let us just say that my love and better half whom I rely upon more than you can ever imagine got nailed with one of the most horrific of migraines that I have ever had the misfortune to see anyone ever come down with!!! It was so terrible that she was forced to stay in bed for the majority of Friday and most of the morning on Saturday in an effort to loose the headache, nausea, temperature, hot and cold sweats as well as total loss of strength! It was so bad that I had to call the doctor on Friday evening and disturb him on his off hours, thank the big guy upstairs that I have the Doc’s personal cell phone number on speed dial because of my problems. After relaying all of the symptoms and things to him he called in some prescriptions for her and it was off to the local pharmacy to get the all necessary healing pills!!
So Saturday comes around and it is time for the festivities to begin and where are the Mrs. and myself? Why at the grocery store where else would we be, at the party awaiting the arrival of our guests you say? Nope we are all geared up and running on full speed like crazy people trying to get the last minute forgotten items we needed to have to lets just say cool the beverages and cook the food!!! MHM we waited a bit to long to get them so we were late to our own party! I must say however that when we did arrive we pulled it all together and a wonderful time was had by all!
Tune in next time for as photo montage of the festivous grandeous!!
