I was wondering why I’m in such an internet induced funk and I think I just remembered.

I read the comments. I should never do that… but I had to.

The veterans post I belong to just lost another member. So it’s been one of those weeks where I needed to get information out to the community. I was also made aware that there’s some local drama surrounding a planned event and I needed to know about that.

What I found Is a junior nightmare. The locals normally wouldn’t talk to each other like this unless it’s outside a bar with a few beers involved….

That’s maybe the issue. People sitting at home, have a few drinks, and reply to facebook.

I’d rather you did that in person where a bouncer can act as a referee.

Now I have to pretend that some of them didn’t just get extremely unpleasant to each other in a public forum and try to talk to you about veterans issues.

I can already tell it’s not going to work well.

What I’m Reading/Doing:

I’m almost done with book three of the Dungeon Crawler series. I got sucked in but I’m only reading a chapter a day.

Status Updates:

Hello true believers! Scott here with an action packed status update. I think I mentioned that I started learning Tai Chi. Well I got to start learning the sword forms and “oh boy” that’s going to be a challenge. I got to use sword, knife, and a cane. On the plus side it does move pretty quick and works up a sweat. I feel like the chubby guy in Mulan.

I don’t just wrestle with my problems, I like to cuddle them and call them pretty.

I bet they sneak in snacks to the theater

We all see what they are doing, right? I hope… Honestly i can’t believe how many people are just okay with it.

I bet I can add a battering ram to my mini van

Okay.. I will admit to not having seen or read much Shakespeare but I think I might. I bet there’s an audiobook for “Henry V” at my library.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;

That’s heavy stuff and I think I need to take it slow because I want to know what he is deeply trying to say.

That a modest and humble man must imitate the tiger during times of trouble. They must let the rage show in their eyes.

Have I done enough to let my rage show?

For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start.

I also want to make sure I catch the fart jokes because you know Shakespeare liked a fart joke.
