  • Hero of War by Rise Against - I’m a vet to this hits fucking hard.

    Blackbird by Alter Bridge - My stepdad got cancer in 2020 and had a very slow decline until he finally passed in 2025. Watching him wither away was heartbreaking. I saw him around Christmas of 2024 and he was still able to get up and move around on his own, but only for a short period of time. I went back down a month later to help my mom, because he couldn’t even get out of bed anymore. The hospice nurse came one day and basically told us he maybe had a week at most. He couldn’t even talk at this point, would not eat, and you could tell he was just in constant pain. I told him not worry and that I appreciated everything he did for my mom and that I would take care of her. He passed a few minutes later with his dog in his lap. Later that afternoon, after I had gotten everything taken care of, I took his dog for a walk. This song just happened to come on while I was walking her. The line, “May you never be broken again” made me breakdown right there in the middle of the park. To this day I still cry every time I hear the song.




  • When I got out of the military I didn’t filed for disability when I got out, because I didn’t want to be a “leach on the system.” I was stupidly very libertarian back then. I completely regret it now. I’m 45 years old with the hearing and back of a 65 year old. Plus the $10k I’ve had to spend because of how bad they fucked my teeth.

    The systems are there to support you. But jackasses like Reagan made us all not want to be “welfare queens” just so he could line his and his buddies pockets while they go off and be pedophiles. So get what support you need. There is no need to feel guilty for something you qualify for.









  • The Blues Brothers is my all time favorite movie. I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to rewatch things unless it’s been long enough for me to forget parts of it. But I’ve watched the Blues Brothers more times than I could count. Starting back whenever it was on TBS in the 90s, to when it was the first DVD I ever bought, to the two versions I have on my media server.

    I have never heard of Nuts in May, so now I know what movie I’ll be watching next.
