Moving On

Today I exited Silverado Ranch for the final time today.  My motorcade left The Montana Apartments  at 1:31 Pacific time.  Moving is something I did in both a figurative and literal sense today.  I left the apartment that I both reconciled with my ex wife in and ultimately divorced her in.  It is the place where I regained financial stability and got my priorities straight.  This unit 2104 is where I shared some of my most intimate feelings with you, some of my Bacardi driven political rants and some of my Tito Francona  worship.  I was clearing out some of the final artifacts of my 30 months their.  I picked up a bag with a photo album in it.  I did not open it.  The reason why I could not open it is because their are pictures in this folder of me in the Army and pictures of my ex wife.  I will have a friend look through this album and save my Army pictures and place the pictures of my ex wife and I in an envelope.  When this has been accomplished I will then mail the contents to her and she can do what she sees fit.  As much as I believe I have closure on my failed marriage, I still do not have closure on the first six year or that marriage that were the best years of my life.  Are those memories not still mine?  Having some one who is your everything who you can not wait to see is an amazing thing.  Maybe I will find that someday.

     Organized religion is such a farce and people die for it every day.  If you do not believe in math and science then please stop reading.  I was raised as an Irish Catholic from The Boston area.  I was confirmed under the premise everybody's  doing it.   Look here is the problem I have with religion.  You tell these fairy tales that are not plausible and you have half wits following blindly no good can come from this.  Now I am going to say this now and if you defriend me on facebook so be it.  Their is no god.  Heaven and hell do not exist.  Despite this I love Jesus Christ with all my heart.  Every record of every religion and historian agrees that he walked the face of the earth. He was put on the cross by Pontchios Pilot.  How ever his mom was not a virgin and when he died he went in the ground.  Who knows maybe Resurrection is possible and Ted Williams will be taken off ice and start in left field tomorrow.   His teachings were what the norms and folkways of our culture should be based on.  Treat people as you want to be treated.  He was non judgemental.  He hung out with a hooker and the 12 biggest dead beats to ever walk the face of the earth.  He loved them because of their flaws not in spite of them.  Through out history people have killed, raped and pillaged in his name.  He would despise this.  The middle east is a train wreck due to organized religion.  Lets just drop a bomb on the whole region and then no GI has to die tomorrow.  These jerk offs have been killing each other for 4000 years.  At least In Ireland they bright enough to only have to fight for 500 years.
     Why do we live in a society where allow a government sanctioned agency to validate our love for a fellow human being.  If two people love each other then why do they need an accredited agency to give them an artificial piece of paper.  However if we all need to live by these rules then why are 10% of our citizens denied the right to this process.  Yes their our people in our country who are not denied rights because they are gay and this is wrong.  They deserve the same right to fail as we do.  Here is something said by Clarence Darrow in a closing at a murder trial.
                                                             "So I be written in the Book of Love 
                                                              I do not care about that Book above. 
                                                              Erase my name or write it as you will, 
                                                              So I be written in the book of Love."
     Lastly tomorrow is opening day for The Boston 9 and this will be the year.  I will be their for the final out in October.  Tito is our real savior and salvation.  My night is winding down I am about to listen to some Jimmy Durante music and some Frank Sinatra.  By the way I despise stations casinos for burlesquing a Beatles song for a stupid jingle.
