This is a quick post another endangered animal is dead because a human mother was not watching her child. I am so tired of animals being killed because of a mistake that was not there own. This makes me so angry that its always the caged up or enclosed animals fault, shame on the mother of this child and the zoo staff. I want the headline to read animal saved after accident at zoo just one time!! I am just saying!!
We take animals from the wild or breed them in captivity. We lock them up in a surround or cage then a human mistake happens. A child that wants to look closer at the cool gorilla is not the fault of the animal. If we are going to cage these animals people need to understand that they are no different than you and I. These animals deserve to live the best life they can. I understand that out in the wild all of these animals are some times killed by other animals. I also understand some do not have a chance out in the wild due to poachers and black market traders.We are getting to the point in this world when we have destoyed and killed everyone of these great animals that have been on this planet much longer than ourselves. Why can't we just let them exist in this world like we do.

Memorial Day!!
05/30/2016
I want to start this post by saying Thank You to all the men and woman of this country that have paid the ultimate price given up the easy life and served the people of the USA and lost there lives doing so. There is no way to thank them enough.
My wife wanted it said that Memorial Day is for all the Soldiers that have died in service to the country. Today is the time to remember these Great Americans.
I am all about service to the country most Soldiers , Police,EMS and Fire Fighters get this!! The rest of the people in this country I don't think do.
All kinds of people serve the country for the greater good. Every military member that leaves there loved ones, wife, Husband,children, everyday life and goes to a foreign land to fight for the American way is the fighter for the greater good,even if we do not agree with the fight the president sends them into. These brave men and woman don't deserve the treatment they have been given when they return home. No one should stand for this. The veterans Treatment and Care should be the main focus of the government anytime these Americans need it. There is no way that people that are milking the welfare system should be given better care than a returning Soldier.
I do feel that on Memorial Day we should also include the other groups that serve the USA. Every Police Officer that puts on the badge in these United States should be treated the same as our Military. The fight these Men and Woman go through everyday is the same thankless and underrated Job that Soldiers go through in these foreign lands they are deployed to. Every time I see on TV or in real life some one treat a Police Officer like Shit I wish the officer would kick there ass, The Idiots deserve a good beating. Enough is Enough. If you feel you could do better then by all means join up and do the job.
Every member of our EMS services should be included also. What a job these Men and Woman do. At no time do any of these people think of them selves and put off a call for help for 1 second. These Americans like the others give up a lot of there lives to do a job that most everyone in this country will need and they deserve our Thanks!!
Every Fire fighter deserves a Thank You on this day and everyday also. I have worked around these People for years and have been involved in the Fire and Rescue calls they go to and all of these Men and Woman are all about saving lives and serving there communities and the country.
All of these groups I have talked about above many thousands and millions over the years have lost there lives in service to this Country.Everyone in this Country needs to treat these people like they deserve. Members of the Military and Police are not our enemies. No the Fire Fighters and Ems are not over priced and not needed. These are all Great Americans that need our support. All of these great People are doing a job that most people in this country will not do in a million years so it time to show how much these people are needed.
Today is the day to remember all these Great Americans that have given there lives while severing us all!!!

Sheep Walking to P.C.!
05/28/2016
Today back to actual Rants!!!
I have had all I can stand about this Trans gender Bathroom Debate. I cant believe we are going embrace this bullshit and let companies pay millions of Dollars to do something for 1/10 of the population or around 700,000 People. The latest thing I have been told is we are going to have business's change the bathrooms over to 1 person restrooms from the current configurations and just call them bathrooms!! Thats all good and fine at a high price!! Take the price out of the issue and really think how dumb this issue sounds. I think this is really a Rights issue for everyone else in the country. I think the Government ,lawyers and certain groups are making these things an issue to cloud are views on real issues and get things done behind our backs.
Why is it that this is an issue all of the sudden and is it any different than things that have already happened.
I feel 100% this issue is just like every other issue that pops up. I remember not to long ago that the pledge of allegiance being said in schools was a huge issue. There are students that do not want to say the pledge and we had better change it for them because of lawsuits and just that we need to be more Politically Correct. What ever happened with that Problem does anyone care? Are children still saying the pledge every morning? Have we just bowed down to this new rule and let it go?
I do not understand when the people of this country are going to say enough is enough. Every time we give on the rights of the many for the rights of the few, and we start giving into every whim and try to be nice and Politically Correct. We are selling the rights of everyone else away.
We are all Sheep walking aimlessly to the P.C. way of life. To some that sounds great. To me it sounds like a slaughter house full of quiet Sheep dying because they know no better. Don't we know better? Are we not the country not to long ago really that, fought to the last woman, man and child to break the bonds of the British Rule. Why did the fight start, To Many Rules!! Boy would that group that was alive then turn over in there graves. If they think there were to many rules and directives back then, Boy What a shock they would have today!!

What? Page 2
05/23/2016
I feel that the problem for me is that the answer to "What" is not black and white. We all have the regular responsibilities I take very seriously having a Wife, House, Cars, Bills Paid Etc. but all the time I have been trying to answer the Question for myself,It has hurt my Life.
The more I set and ponder the answer the more time that goes by without living the life I really want and Need. Don't get me wrong this is not a Self Help post it is something that I feel posting will Help others like me find that little thing they have spent so much time trying to find. I am exactly like you I want the answer and I want it now!! I have been looking for almost 26 years now with no luck.
The one thing I do know after all this time is I can describe the life I have in mind its simple but it would mean the world to me.
I get up early roll over and kiss my wife on the lips say Good Morning I Love You I send her off to work and I am excited to get to work myself, I put on a pot of coffee I take my little dog tig out to do her duty. I go to my home office and turn on the computer. I put my heart and sole into my cool Business, Everyday working is a joy!!I don't take it for granted, I spend every day working twice as hard as now , but running something I can be proud of. Something that means something to me. I get to use my Mind for a Passion that is all my own. By the time my wife is home I'm done for the day. ready for the relationship with her that I started with back in 1997.
I can give her a hug say I love You and never forget the feelings of Love I use to feel everyday. Get back to being a Team not Two soles drifting apart. I get to take the time in the evenings and weekends to do those things together every couple should even the small things that make a Big difference. After a little while of doing these things together and being a team life will just flow like it should. Being Challenged, Inspired and Loved what a deal right. I told you it was simple!!
Back to "What" the time is turning fast so now that the time of Law Enforcement winds down my 20 years hits 07/2017. I am back to the Fucking word "What" I know what I want and "What" life I would like to have now. I just have to go get it, that's the problem. I am willing to do what I can to make this Life a reality its not just for me that I have this come to pass it is for my Wife and I.
I feel like I owe my wife a huge apology one that I can never make up for. See I started out in this relationship with my wife really in Love, not the fake on TV or celebrity love story, the real one. The greatest woman and friend on earth story, someone that is perfect for me and the person I really need in my life. My one true friend that lets me be the introverted asshole I am and still is my lover and Best Friend. That's what makes the answer to "What"the most important thing in my world. I owe my wife so much time back so many things done apart and time apart. I am more than ready to get back to that Real Love not the time apart love trying to remember who she is, what its all about, and what its like to be married. I do not ever want to loose this Person whom I Love dearly so that's what this post is all about
I guess its my way of putting it all out there like a written contract to get this done and finally get the answer to "What" I have been looking for all of these years. To make the last part of my life the best to be a Great person and most of all a Great Husband.

What?
05/22/2016
I want to post a Letter today about my biggest enemy in the world the word "What".
In my last sad post about my Mother I was talking about my favorite time to be on the planet earth, It was back in 1981 before all of life's Bullshit hit me. Thats why my biggest enemy is the word What?
Back when you are a kid you day dream and consider "What" What will I do, What will I be, What is it all about. You never dream that when you are almost 46 years old you still have no answer to this fucking word "What" I had no idea it would control my whole adult life. Today as I type away no answer to the word.
I have from time to time came to the realization that there is no answer, no matter how much time I have put into it. Back in my teen age years I went back and forth between only 2 things I wanted to be a COP or a Business Man and I will get into that in a minute. Man I thought both things were the Shit!! I rode my bike around with a little Police siren on it on Patrol Day and Night Being a COP would be awesome. My Grandpa was a Game Warden for the state of Illinois and My uncle was the Sheriff of Woodford County so the Idea was already there, don't figure. Not the right chose in my mind now. The business man started in the teen years at 14 or 15 years old after school and work I was hooked on Business News. I worked after School for my Cousin that owned Gas Stations around the area man I thought being a Business owner was the shit to!!
I chose Law Enforcement Good Pay but Long Hours and no Life!! I feel like this was the wrong answer to the word"What" I know people that know me will be shocked to read this answer back in 1993 was the wrong answer. Before Marriage and getting older and burnt out on long weekends away from people you care about and watching the time slip away, it was not a bad answer but now Yeah!!
You do not think back when you are younger that you may want to change your mind and have a redo, There is no such thing by the way as a redo. Because by the time this hits you, you are changed, older, meaner and lost!!
Time ticks away and the people you care about are in the grave or you forget there even exist, the old term two ships that pass in the night is true.
I dont want to say that Law Enforcement is bad!! I have enjoyed it very much but there is a price that I have paid for the answer to "what" back in the earlier years. The only reason I posted this is to make people think about there answer to "What" I will continue this in another post later this week!!

Trip Down Memory Lane!!!
Every once in a while I set and think about my favorite time of Life. If I had to choose what would it be, I think back to 1981 before my dad had his heart attack and died instantly. We were happy as could be, I had people die in the family but it doesn't hit home until its someone close. I was devastated and still have not snapped out of it to this day. My mom had her heart broke that day losing her one true love. She would tell me that from time to time when I was little that my dad was her one true love. I never got that until 1997 when I found mine. My mom went into mom and dad mode she rebounded for me. Most people did not know like I did that she was quit a woman. She was a great roll model Sunday school teacher, Lacon Politician, hard worker, smart, tough and most of all very Loving through the tough façade. She loved me through thick and thin. Even the teen age years when I was a Complete Dick!! Cars and Girls and Freedom took over, but she never stopped the Love. She gave awesome advise to a kid that was very confused and like all mothers was always right. She Loved every animal in the world and saved many from death. She had a sharp tongue and stuck to her guns and took a lot of shit for it, But she stayed true!! I though Different at times as we all do but I realize now she was right. In the way she was, what meant something to her, and her convictions to stay true to her self.
I always thought that back in 1981, before death, Jobs etc was the best of times. Back before School, bad attitudes and Teen age years kicked in that if I died that might be heaven, the greatest place you would want to be. Ridding bikes till dinner, Pissing off the old lady down the street by doing so. Ridding in the back seat of the big Buick Electra to the Venture store in Peoria on Saturdays. not a care in the world!! Good Times!! Good Times!!
But dreams always end!!!
As I set here typing this post My mother is down at St Josephs nursing home in Lacon losing a battle with Alzheimer's Disease. It has ended this great mother and woman. A woman that once could do long form Income taxes in her head then put them on Paper, now on days has no idea who she is or who I am. She has no idea about the life she had or those that were closest to her. There are no great memories. Spending time on the river boating, water skiing and swimming are all gone now. The winters when the river froze over it was time for ice skating she was in, and good at it I may add.
I cannot believe when I go visit, what happened to this Great person. I walk in every morning Hoping to see the old Mother I had back in 1970 to the late 2000's but she is never there.
About 2 years ago now when my mother was still in her home there was a day when we were talking and fighting about getting her to eat lunch, the major confusion had set in years before but her time of being home alone where gone. She did look at me with the her old caring look and Say I love you Mike I always Will. that time has passed now, that will never be said again.
Now she lays in bed a sleep most of the day, confused by the world. Her mind and body are both shutting down there is no walking, there are no games being played, the emotions of love or pain or anything are gone. No more talks of growing up and her brother tommy being a trouble maker. No more sled rides, No more political Fights for hours on end!! just silence!! No more giant dinners with more food than an army would eat, my wife will testify to these.
Sorry that this post went this way but I can not let another Mothers day week go By with out putting it our there. When you are young you never think how Life will turn out. Everybody and Everything is forever!! Not True!! This will be over before you Now it!
So remember to Love the People that you Love!! Tell them you Love them!! Keep the Memories alive!!!
