The Best watch in years .. Inspired by my watch standers....

The best watch in years.. Yep.. I have stood many watches with many types of people and personalities.. But tonight was the best! We stood a vigilant watch and we also prepared ourselves for many scenarios. Like for example " What would you do in case this came up?" We all had similar views except the one guy.. Theirs always that one guy that rides a different wave length.,. But it did make for some emotional responses , especially from me. When it comes to enforcing rules and regulations , I'm a stickler if it involves me.. But when something does not affect me ,, Why bother? But then again , We need to enforce all the rules ,, But what if the Big Boss violates the rules.. Then what ? Well a good watch stander , enforces the rules no matter what ? But then again ,, Rules and the reality of life often times cant co exist. I mean if your mama was speeding and you pulled her over., Would you give her a ticket? Well , legally you should , but you know full well it would cause issues with that relationship.. especially With the enormous amounts of fines that go with tickets.. I would not because of the relationship issues and think about it,, Everyone speeds,, I'm sure I can get another fool speeding or breaking the law in no time.. Am I right? So my point is,, standing long watches with people with many insights , back grounds and ideas , make you find out alot about people.. For example.. You really don't know people unless spend time with them. and you ask questions about back grounds and life issues. Bottom line.. We all have issues and we all deal with problems.. Its the person that knows how to react and respond that makes that person able to cope with the many obstacles and mysteries of life. No one has the true blue print to living a wonderful , stress free life.. Its seems something always goes wrong.. your health , your emotions. your debts affect how you live your life!! If anything standing watch with this group made me realize ,, alot of people have different perspective's on things. But the bottom line is ,, We all want to live a happy life and not make waves.. When I was younger I always wanted the attention,, Now that I have been through that stage.. Right now .. I want it at times , but mostly I just want to finish out my career and start my new life, whatever that might be? Like i said earlier I have stood many watches , but this one was fun,, so to speak.. The discussions about politics.. religion, loves, marriage , divorce,, deployment stories were fun , exciting and revealing !! it seems when some one hears the stories of others ,, it sometimes sounds to good to be true.. adult fantasy land,, the Guam clubs,, the Australian trips. the Sand box , the fights, the arguments , the long underway periods, This group of watch standers , felt it and lived it.. We all knew .. what we all went through.. and at times we realized we are just humans trying to live.. Sad but true.,.. all of us do want needs to be done.. harsh words,, mean looks, hard line questions and instructions is what drives us in our professional lives,, while our personal lives are often times keep to ourselves.. The lesson tonight , is we all have our own stories to tell and our perspective's on life is different at times. But one thing we all agreed upon is that we all want to be happy and enjoy the riches of life.. Tonight was just a revelation of our inner thoughts and ideas of how we want to live.., But because life often doesn't go as we plan,, we all discovered that we do want needs to be done to live and survive.. Nothing is easy in life,, and sometimes its cut throat to get what you want.. Theories , ideas, are romantic , but true life is brutal , cut throat and often times heartless to all of us.. But at least for one night we came together and share our insecurities and our ideals ,,and discussed  how the world should be..? Reality is ... The power of greed and power over comes the ideals and what is the proper thing to do.. Money corrupts even the most noble and sincere people ., and that in itself is what scared all of us about ,, the ways of the world.. Money talks , and bull shit walks.,. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2012
