Lack of a routine can lead to a rut

Good morning everyone! Yes, you are correct. I do keep saying that I haven't updated this blog in a while and each time I do I offer an excuse for being absent. Well, here I go again, but I want you to know I have a valid reason.

If you've kept up with my ramblings you are aware of my health conditions and the fact that I just moved to a new place. Well, my health has only had a minor effect on my writing as sometimes my brain just freezes and can't think of a thing to say. But my biggest roadblock has been the moving to a new place thing. It is taking a while for me to unpack and put everything in it's place. Also, this has completely thrown me out of my routine and I am a slave to my routine or I can't function. I just have to have my routine or I get way confused. If I don't break this soon I am afraid of it becoming a rut.

I wish I was one of those who could just say that I am designating the hours of 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to do nothing but write, but I am no good about that. My brain doesn't work like that. I tend to write better in the morning and before my mind gets cluttered with the news or the noise coming from my neighbors lawn mower or the things I need to do today to get settled in my new place.

So, this morning I woke up at about my usual time before everything became so hectic. My wife is still sleeping and the dogs are behaving nicely for me. Since I started this diatribe my neighbor has begun mowing his lawn and my other neighbors dog is in his back yard barking his fool head off. Still, I am going to get this posted this morning because I owe it to all of you and I miss you all and don't want you to stop coming by. After I have posted this blog, I hope to be able to get back to the book I am working on.

In case you are not aware and are a fan of reading books, my first book is now available as an eBook on Amazon.com and also on Barnes & Nobel. Here are the links to them if you are interested and I certainly hope you are. The title of the book is "Lost Hearts" by Joel Wilson.

I hate to do this, but please, won't you buy my book? It is currently marked down to 99¢ and it is a good read. (Shameless self-promotion) I hope to have my new one finished by end of summer.

So, for your entertainment I've located a couple of funny videos to lighten your day. Enjoy!

Yippee Kiyay!!  Everybody!!  Finally!  We GOT Bin Laden!!  Ding! Dong! The witch is gone! The mean old witch!! That son of a bitch!! Ding! Dong! The son of a bitch!! is gone!!!!  Can I get a AMEN!?!

I am so glad that they got him!  I don't understand why this wasn't done before, unless Michael Moore was right about former President George Bush being in business with the Bin Laden family.  I know that no one in Washington is going to tell the truth about that.  No one in Washington is capable of telling the truth.  So, why do we keep them in office? Things that make you go.....hmmm.

But in this particular case, I want to give credit to the work of the CIA, JSOC and President Obama.  It is good to know that the CIA, who lost a lot of credibility over the WMD thing, can work with other top secret organizations within our own government to bring this all together.  Kudos too, for President Obama, who was in on it all from the beginning and who had the balls to order the strike and take out Bin Laden, and to JSOC who carried out the mission successfully.  Congratulations to you all.  

We should all feel like a weight has been lifted off of our shoulders.  We've been carrying this Bin Laden thing on our backs for more than a decade.  We've lived with terrorism for almost a generation now.  Should we feel like we crossed the finish line in first place?  That answer would be a no. Why?  Because an organization that has had lots of time to establish itself world wide, is most likely prepared for the loss of Bin Laden.  Someone esle is most likely already appointed to be the new face of al-qaeda.  If it turns out that they weren't prepared, then what we will most likely face is a bunch of Bin Laden wannabe's who will use this as an opportunity to make their case for Osama's job.

Either way, we should not let down our guard.  It may end here, which I doubt, but most likely won't.  Think of it as a gang mentality.  The leader is no more.  Does the gang throw away their bandannas and go back to being nice guys?  No.  Someone else steps in to make a name for himself.  Why would we think al-qaeda to be any different.  So celebrate but watch your backs.  May God bless and protect the United States of America!
