Whatever strikes my fancy. U.S. Marine Veteran, 1983-1998. Sharing things that interest me from other blogs and the internet. Empty blogs are blocked.

Good morning. This statement says it all. No ego, just humbleness backed up by honed skill.

“The difference between a true warrior and an ordinary person is not that the warrior walks around being a “bad ass” all the time or is confrontational. It is that the warrior is always a micro-second away from doing what warriors do –whatever it takes to put an end to a threat. It is not a thing that one does, it is a way of being. Many have spent time in a violent profession, some have not. True warriors don’t have to act like they are a “tough guy.” They can enjoy life and just be a regular person, until the need to be a warrior. Although the warriors heart is immutable, most will maintain enough skills to never let a wayward assailant prevail. John Duncan”

Today In 1989: Ken Griffey Jr. makes his major league debut with the Seattle Mariners! The 19-year-old rookie hits a double in his first at-bat vs. Oakland A's pitcher Dave Stewart!
