This Blog

So apparently to read blogs is so last year. Unless of course you have some sort of niche or gimmick. I've read countless blogs on The Real Housewives franchise by Bravotv and I think to myself, bashing while glamorizing reality TV, is that the the only thing people want to read about today? Sure I like my smutty, nitty-gritty, maybe even scripted, reality TV hot messes, but to devote an entire blog on such nonsense seems unadventurous as well as unreal! I'm about realness. My real life and the life around me. Sure I might watch this TV crack-cocaine and comment on these ridiculous, sometimes fabulous people but I also want to voice my opinion on the state of our country and the hypocrisy of religions, etc. Yes- I went there and will continue too! You will find me opinionated, controversial, right, wrong,self destructive, fabulous, borderline narcissist, creative, wonderful or just plain crazy! But isn't that you?! Are we all not walking and talking hypocrisies, abnormally normal real people trying to figure out this thing called life? I am a mother so I will talk about my experience as one, the love of my child,  the mother guilt and self identity crisis that comes with it. I am a wife, and with that comes the ups and downs that I may or may not share with you. I am a daughter, and we all know that no matter how great or how awful our childhood was, we will all suffer from some sort of dysfunction that could only stem from a "mother's love" or "father's lack thereof".  I am a sister, not only to four half-siblings but in my eyes the half part of that statement is ridiculous because to me they are my wholes! I also believe to the depths of my soul that the friends we choose for ourselves are the family we create for ourselves, so I have many people I hold near and dear to my heart that no bloodline is necessary for them to be considered my family!  Lastly I am a veteran. I hail from a long line of a military family, ranging from all branches. I myself am an Army medic Vet that served for almost 6 years and  deployed in OIF II. I went in believing in my country and I left questioning it. I'm not a Republican nor am I a Democrat. I am a Realist. Someone who believes in the greater good for us all. My life changed in just 1 year of Bush's war on terror? (oil)!?(big corporations?) These are the things that matter the most to me. My life, Through my eyes, My experiences, My Reality.
