In the Army, in the Army,
here we go again,
everywhere we go,
marching a way we go,
left, right, left...
Sittin' in the barber chair,
watching my all my hair fall to the floor,
say it ain't so...what was I thinkin',
when I signed on that dotted line?
Four weeks and 5 days and a wake up,
until we can go home.
Training all day,
PT everyday,
too tired to take a shower at the end of the day,
but knowing all to well, that ya better get yo' stinkin' ass in there!
In the Army now,
here we go again,
another AT.

Ol' Oak
While I sit and wait for you here on the bench in the park,
I think of you and I and how it is when we are together.
Holding hands, caressing fingers one by one,
talking like it is just us in the world, like we will together for the rest of our days.
Kissing your soft, tender lips, under the big oak tree,
carving our names in ol' Oak.
Laying out the blanket on the grass under the Oak,
where we carved our names, we set up camp,
for the day,
where we have a nice picnic lunch, just the two of us,
you and me.
I open my eyes and here I lay asleep in my bed.

Should vs. Could
I should be this,
I should do that,
I should be better than then him/her,
I should be smarter than I am,
Instead of saying should, replace it with could.
Whatever the "should" in my life is, I need to replace it with "could",
I have a choice, "could" gives me that choice, "should" does not.
I should....
I don't want to,
I am afraid,
I do not know how,
because I am not good enough,
because it doesn't match up to "your" standards.
No more "should's"
No more "I have to's"
I am me, I am doing the best that I can
with what I have and with what I know how to do,
I am learning as I go,
It might take me longer than you,
but I will get it done.
I could....

Once Again
"If I do what I always have done,
I will always get what I got."
I have been on a self-discovery,
self-approving and self-loving journey for sometime now,
although it seemed to go alright in the beginning,
then something happened, I hit a wall, a road block.
I have found a way around this road block, it seemed like it took forever,
but I found another route.
I am back on my way, through my journey, I am hoping not to get stopped again,
but something tells me I shouldn't get my hopes up.
So, here I go again,
back on this road, that seems that I have taken a many times before,
never reaching the end,
hoping to reach the end at some point in time.
I will always get what I got."

Are you A Gambling Addict?
Signs you are gambling addict
Gambling, like alcoholism and drug addictions is an addiction too. It is classified as an impulsive-control disorder.
People, who are addicted to gambling, cannot control themselves, even knowing the negative impacts that it makes on their professional and personal lives.
Gambling addicts are constantly preoccupied or another words, obsessed with excessive spending money and the time spent on gambling; they chase their losses even though negative consequences. Gambling affects the person’s personality, creating behavioral problems with family, friends, co-workers and employers.
Gambling addiction is also known has the “hidden illness” because there are no apparent noticeable physical symptoms, as in drug and alcohol addictions. Gamblers can hide their addiction rather well and for an extended time without anyone noticing that they have a problem.
If you or someone you know has these symptom:
• Feeling the necessity to conceal the habit; lying to friends, family, co-workers.
• Having trouble to control the urge to gamble- can you just walk away once you start gambling or do have to stay until the last dollar is spent?
• Gambling even if there is no money to gamble with-borrowing money, stealing money and in order to pay the borrowed money back you need to gamble.
• Friends and family begin to question and worry about you-denial sets in and allows the gambling to continue.
Secretive of finances, income has remained un-changed; however, there is a considerably less amount of the savings and other assets.
Some would argue that gambling is not an addiction; however, anything can become over obsessed with and therefore, qualifying it has an addiction or a disorder. Gamblers may go through withdrawl symptoms if forced to stop “cold turkey.” There is no physical form, as from drugs and alcohol. Rather, they may experience agitation and irritability as they begin to gamble less or quitting altogether. Just as in any addiction, the first step to controlling it is admitting you have a problem. Recovering from this addiction is best to be completed in the accompaniment of friends and family who will help you get back on track. Joining support groups and receiving help from gamblers anonymous programs. With these things, will bring positive outcomes; however, it will not be done overnight, it takes time, “one day at a time.”
Gambling like so many other addictions can ruin someone’s life and cause marital problems, work problems. Once acknowledged and with the wanting to be in control with your life and finances again, there is treatment out there.
