Tuesday night was our first marriage counseling session. I think it went well, it was a bit unsettling to hear that she has felt this way for a long time and that this isnt a recent development.
Our "homework" is to decide if this marriage is something we want to save and i can answer yes as to what i bring to the marriage that i need to think about. This process isnt going to be easy and i dont want it to be i want it to be lasting

everyday is a new day
Today it was refreshing to hear Beth talk about long term plans involving me again. IT may have only been about renting a house when our current lease is up but i will take what i can get.
Will also be using this blog to journal my running efforts. I know the National Guard needs officers so my goal is to get in shape and join the guard..maybe i will go to Afghanistan maybe i wont either way its something close to the dream i gave up a few years ago.

new intentions
i will use this as a way to talk out what is going on with me and to rant about what i feel is is important. right nw what is important is trying to keep my marraige from impolding and it is proving to be a daunting task.
I know if there is a divorce Beth will want to take the kids to illinois but she will have to prove to a judge that it is in the childrens best interest to be seperated from me by more than 100 miles, the burden of proof is on her. i will do anything to keep this together i just hope she feels the same way.

Tough news
I was searching for old friends on facebook today and instead of finding a friend i found a link to his memorial site. Tommy Ike Folks died in Baghdad Oct. 19 2005 . Even though we lost contact shortly after i got out of the army in 99 this is still tough news to hear.
I remember one night in particular over in Germany when Tommy and I waled about 10 miles through a blizzard as part of a mission and probably would have walked 10 more if sgt. Riveria hadn't fallen into a small pond.

dissent will not be tolerated
Its nice to know that the constitution is going to go straight out the window if Obama wins. Don't Believe me , its already starting. Three papers decide to endorse McCain and then their reporters , who have been with Obama since the start of his campaign get thrown of his plane. Then there is the "Fairness" doctrine, which is aimed at silencing conservative talk radio. basically it says that all programming must present both view points , all because liberal talk radio always fails because no one wants to listen to that crap . Why must we be forced into listening to the lefts point of view, they dont share my values or concerns and they are not going to persuade me.
The media is supposed to protect the people from the unchecked power of the government, but what do we do when the mainstream media becomes the mouthpiece of the annointed canidate and all forms of dissent are silenced?

Death and taxes
First off paying more Taxes is not Patriotic! That has got to be the most assanine thing i have ever heard. I cannot believe people are falling for this crap, and for the dems to keep invoking the name of Kennedy and comparing Obama to JFK is downright immoral. Kennedy wanted a flat tax and to cut corporate taxes to promote growth, doesnt sound anything like Obama to me.
Obama plans on increasing the taxes on the upper 10% who already pay 70 % of the tax bill while the bottom 50 % pay 2.9% and the bottom 40% pay no tax at all .. and they say the rich need to pay their fair share. I am just a hard working middle class american that clings to my guns and religion, i am not looking for a handout, so dont insinuate that all working class people are. What we want is job growth not a furthering of the welfare state.
bottom line if you increase business taxes they pass on those costs to the consumers and they cut jobs . America already has some of the highest corporate taxes in world at 35% and people wonder why jobs are heading over seas ?
