The last political party I gave money to was the Democrats for the primary campaign of a Senator from Nebraska, Vietnam Vet and father. The last party I picked so I could vote in their primary was Democrat. But then although I believe in many things, I don't believe in the Democratic Party and I know that the Republicans aren't really better just different a little bit... Like I am a Life Member of the National Rifle Association (which I almost lump with those two major political parties - being so far away from me, my life and efforts for better'n) but I get to do more in shooting with the military and the Revolutionary War Veterans Association, CMP and Washington Arms Collectors (the last I haven't really done anything with but I read their news). Nope, I am Earl, and I guess it only matters that I care enough to be interested but not enough to think I should do something about any of the above or all of the above.
I have my life, and loves, and I have squandered much of my life - and enjoyed doing so. But I think working on being strong enough and disciplined enough to survive all the terrible stuff that is to come and to work hard on improving and increasing the LOVEs is where I am at for the near future - which is all I have left, having spent the first parts of my life enjoying more and building so little... you can get what you aim for, or not really see your target and just let fly.

SO was it a bullseye? I would counter that you have lived your life, not squandered it!
I think the entire idea that I squandered any of my life is founded on comments from people that didn't find me to their liking, expectations, or up to their standards. I did say that I enjoyed doing so. I think I hit with great passion and accuracy what I thought was my reason for being alive, a man, and the best I could be where it counted the most. Improving and increasing the Loves...
