For those who don't know

Just a quick catch up in my life since I havn't been posting in what...years?

Still married...somehow. It is pretty freaking rocky at the moment. I really hope it is just the stress of getting out of the Marines in twelve days. Then I go on 41 days of terminal leave which afterwords I will unemployed until I start college about a month later.Meghan plays now for the WFA(Womans Football Assosication I think it is called) San Diego Surge. Keeps getting injured. What do you expect though? She takes her football very seriously. Overly seriously...
Anyways here is a few pictures of her. Her touchdown dance and another great picture. They already are qualified for play offs where they will be defending their National Championship title. She will be traveling a lot. Leaving me in a new apartment all alone with Rex.

Twilight Stars

Something I wrote about a month ago in my free time.
Trying to start writing again to express my feelings.


The twilight stars painted the galaxy that night. The night while still at first look was more alive than could be caught at first glance. The stars flowed across a path in the night painting the dark with light that flickered. Echoes from the winds whispered with the purr of wildlife that could only break the silence if listened to intently.
Hey eyes looked up at the stars. Each one reflected her eyes as if a one way mirror. On one side her gaze reflecting the beauty of her green eyes that where hidden behind the twilights stars, the other side of her eyes laid her soul. Dug deep beneath lying next to her heart.
The grass felt like fine blades against her arms and legs, unable to cut below the skin but able to touch the mind. Her hips and legs mostly exposed could feel the blades of grass rustling against her. Ticklish at first.
Hands moving along the ground arms spread wide as comfort slow sinks.
Her mind twisted and turned as turned as her body ached for the one to her who was lost to her for an endless amount of time. The last two months seemed to be gone.
She closed her eyes to remember her times with the one she once loved ever so much. Still did as well. In the very same spot two months ago she was with him asking “will you come back home to me?”. He replied in a sweet whisper “always. Whenever you ache for me just remember this moment.”
But now the grass felt just ever so empty and the dark of the night ever so much more deceiving as she lay alone. A tear dropped like a water crystal from the edge of her eye and left a trail down her cheek as she continued the memory by herself.
“Will you always love me?” Her voice asked weak, seemly only carried by the slight breeze. “Forever, until your hearts continuous beat stops. When you can no longer feel love rush throughout your body and your soul becomes weak and tired.” A smile crept to Angels face. The worry of him never coming home seemed to leave as he kissed her lips, matching them perfectly to hers. His hands on her waste as his body pressed down on hers, the beat of her heart racing as cheeks felt warm and his soothing breath trickled down her shoulders to be only cooled by the night’s air. Chills crept down her spine as the mixture of body warmth met with the chill of the night. “Promise?” Words that barely escaped her lips before he grabbed her hips tightly and matched it with a kiss of passion, desire, and words that can’t even be formulated to correctly express to ones will of true desire and wants.


My goodbye to the Marine Corps (Part One)

Don't worry it isn't done yet. I promise to make the ending as beautiful as I can



Everyone had come to see him again. There was mummers of assurance in the crowd sitting down on black lawn chairs.
The days was one that could be spoken of forever. The wind was only the lightest of breezes the carried his voice gently through the air. It was the same air that had followed him home thousands of miles back home. Sweetness filled the air from surrounding the wistful grass. The chipping of birds only added to the beauty of nature around the seen. I sat quietly in the back. Sun beat down heavily upon my face burning but refreshing. I couldn't picture a more perfect June day. I could see everyone as clear as as the blades of grass below me.
I tried to distract my mind from being nervous. I hadn't seen my friend in five years. A small bit of sweat mixed into the clutter of emotions that rushed my heart, each beat echoing to my fingertips. I held a heavy coin that i focused my mind on. The reflection of "Semper Fidelus" twinkled through the cracks of my fingers.
Everyone stood. The world around us all turned to silence. The birds seemed to move into a land of non-existence. It was indescribable. I didn't stand at first. All of a sudden it was as if the strength in my body left. I closed my eyes and clenched on the coin he had given me. Heart racing, blood pooling in my fist as a tear trickled down my cheek. How was I supposed to even say "hello old friend" if there was nothing to say? Knees weak my legs managed to join the crowds strength. I didn't turn around just closed my eyes and listened. Air seemed to only get harder to come by as each breath became shorter and slower as I listened.
Six pairs of footsteps in unison came from behind me. My black suit felt like the weight of the world as the got closer. Upon opening them as the tracks followed next to me what I saw only brought made it worse. Unbearable. Six men, three side by side of my friend marched down the silent row of chairs. The people that were once there seemed to disappear in the eery silence that surrounded me. Each man wore the uniform he wore. Black coats and blue trousers some with scarlet strips that followed down the seems. To me they didn't even have faces. Blank and empty but pain that echoed deep from the bottoms of each of their souls. Grasping for dear life on the bars that held him. The shades of green from the grass below seemed to darken as the carried him down the aisle.
