Hey Theodore Roosevelt, remember that time someone tried to assassinate you, but you just laughed and proceeded to give a 90-minute long speech with the bullet lodged in your lung, where it remained for the rest of your life? Or when you tore up your leg after being thrown into piranha-infested waters while exploring uncharted Brazil? Or all those times you broke your ribs from falling off horses while doing badass jumps? Or when you destroyed the sight in your left eye in a White House boxing match? Or that time you killed a cougar in a knife fight (seriously)? And how the only way death could finally get to you was in your sleep, in the early morning on January 6th in 1919. Here's to TR as the infinite inspiration for pure, condensed badassery.
Theodore Roosevelt, October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919
“Death had to take him sleeping, for if Roosevelt had been awake there would have been a fight.”
Original Badass.
All of our presidents combined can’t add up to how much of a badass he was.

Not to mention he was an attractive mother fucker.
And most importantly, he rode Moose.
He’s the original Ron Swanson

freak out
Never had had now become my calming down song. i have to pull myself away from reality and listen to this just to get myself back to normal. i talked to mental health today. they told me i should teach to help cope with my problems and also to help others with theirs.
i also find writing on here calming for the sole fact that no one i know personally knows me on here.
Play
Never Had
I’ve been gone for so long now
Chasing everything that’s new
I have forgotten how I got here
I have not forgotten you
We’re just children with our eyes opening
You were all that I could see
You came close enough to know my heart beat but
Still not close enough for me
Through the good times and the bad
You were the best I never had
The only chance I wish I had to take
There was no writing on the wall
No warning signs to follow
I know now and I just can’t forget
You’re the best I never had
Such an amazing song. Really makes me think.

Deployment
280 days ago i was saying goodbye to KAF. i took my last whiff of the poo pond, loaded my stuff on the plane, and said my final farewell as i laid on the ground in the shadow of the plane to take me home. today i found myself back here. so in an homage to all the memories that this place had brought me, i went to The Burger Joint and got myself a cheeseburger and a hadji mountain dew. as i sat on the boardwalk looking out onto the soccer field i reminisced on the time i spent here. as much as people bitch about being in country i cant help but to feel at home here. My first deployment, so much learned, so many good times had, new experiences taken in, they all happened right here.
its surreal to me that just the sight and smell of this place can bring so much back in an instant. i of course love the new team and am happy to be seeing different things but my time here will never be forgotten due to the people i was here with that made my time here worth it.
No matter what i will always be a Renegade. Any time i hear Bad Company i will think about rolling. i will see a pit bull and remember Frontenac. i will never forget the monotone “Rollover, rollover, rollover”. i will always look for a turkey burger at the DFAC. Snow will make me think of Brophy falling in the mud. i will always miss sleeping in the MRAP. i’ll retell my first “IDF” that turned out to be outgoing fire a million times. ill remember the Brachial Stunts on the smoke deck and the bear suit that almost got the smoke deck locked down. ill always sing Mankini to myself during step off. ill think about chief spitting every time I’m in a mission brief.
we tore it up. we had a blast and we all made it through in one piece…. well aside from Jared’s busted ass knee.
We all went our separate ways and are doing our own things now but when it comes down to it we’re all still Renegades.
You are a dumb ass inbred blue-waffled motherfucking cracka. Talkin' about patriotism meanwhile you're in a country half way around the world killing people that have never harmed you. Have fun being fucked up the ass by Satan's pitchfork when you get to harm. I hope you burn to death, slowly and painfully, where ever you are fucking shit up for your imperialistic reasons.
hmm. so where do i start here…. fuck it. ill take it from the top. “You are a dumb ass inbred blue-waffled motherfucking cracka” well at least he (im assuming this is a man or else why would he be so mad that im doing something hes too scared to do) said you are and not your. It seems to me that the angrier he gets the less understandable and more downright childish he becomes. i dont know what a “blue-waffled” person is or for that matter if blue waffled is even hyphenated but ill let it go. im going to assume hes telling me that i have a diseased vagina and ill let him believe it. and then im a CRACKA. i was unaware that people even said that word anymore let alone that it was ever offensive to anyone. continuing on.
“Talkin’ about patriotism” was it really that hard to add the g at the end of talking?
“meanwhile you’re in a country half way around the world killing people that have never harmed you.” so while that SHOULD have struck a nerve it didnt. it made me laugh. the common view of the ignorant, (and yes you anonymous man i am calling you an ill informed, ignorant cowardly, fuck) ill informed, CNN watcher is that we run around this country killing anyone we see. you my friend are the reason that true patriots lose morale out here. we see that you are what were fighting this war for. a man that wants me to be “fucked up the ass by Satan’s pitchfork when you get to harm” (im assuming of course in your childlike rage you accidentally misspelled home but who knows.) so ive got this crazy guy hitting me up on tumblr telling me how bad of a person i am, while hes sitting in his moms basement judging people. THATS what im defending!! hipsters that probably dont know the difference between a democrat or republican, whos idea of taking a stand is badmouthing a war vet, who obviously have no idea what stage of the war we are in now, because hes content with his 10x12 prison hes made up in his moms house so he can shelter himself from the world. then he goes on to say burn to death blah blah blah but what got me was this.
“fucking shit up for your imperialistic reasons.” hmmm… so its MY imperialistic reasons right? IM the one that attacked our country, IM the one that called a war on america, IM the one that started all the conflict of the past 12 years?
nope… IM the one standing out in the snow 5000 ft into the mountains in the -5 degree cold, getting sunburnt in the 110 degree heat, defending your freedom to bad mouth me!! i know there are true patriots out there that agree with me because I’ve met them. and there is some serious pride that runs through a mans heart when hes walked up to by an old war vet, a young child, or a grow ass man and they thank you for everything you have done. you my sad little friend will never make an impact on this world. you will remain unhappy and alone because you dont know how to speak to people. respect where respect is due my friend. if you feel that you have more to say to me go ahead and unblock yourself so i and everyone else can see the face of a true coward.
