Viking Christmas Carol

A Viking Christmas Carol

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
And I in my armor, my shield and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
While four quarts of mead were ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came the sounds of a brawl
So I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.

I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep!"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers, wielding mallet and spear.

I said to myself, "We'll soon have them beat!"
Then I noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt into the fray...
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.

For the one laid his hammer to the side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
Then came a lone frightened voice from the floor,
"Those are no mortal warriors -- that's Odin and Thor!"

Then they looked at each other and they said, "Battle's done.
Now they know who we are, it no longer is fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer, and his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.

I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Not really sure that I'd seen them before.
The snow bathed in starlight, the moon like a glede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed

And I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,
"TO HELA WITH CHRISTMAS, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Worrying

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget
them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and
with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Shoulda, woulda, coulda..." " Hindsight is always 20/20..." the rallying cry of the not-so-prepared. Granted unforeseen things do occur but you make preparations as best as you can, and then you just have to adapt, improvise, and overcome. Unfortunately sometimes you are the windshield and others you are the bug.

I try to live my life that way. I don't sweat the small stuff and try not to let the ignorance of others affect my way of looking at the world. I try to judge everybody by their actions and deeds, not necessarily by their race or job (although its real hard if their job is customer service).

If I cannot do anything about a situation, I try to not worry about it. The operative word there is try. I can just prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

But if I can do something about a situation, I will.

Happy 4th of July

Even cops losing their jobs in recession

At this juncture, this type of thing would be classified as a “BAD SIGN”. Read it and get a permit and weapon!!! Because when seconds count, the police may not even be around much less minutes away…

Even cops losing their jobs in recession
As tax revenue shrivels, police agencies that for years were bulletproof when it came to funding are tightening their belts. Some worry that criminals will take advantage of the situation.

More guns+less violent crime? What a concept.

While reading a MSM story about decreased violent crime statistics, it occurred to me that maybe instead of LEO doing more to curb crime... that maybe, just maybe it decreased because of more guns being sold to law abiding citizens and criminals are more cautious in committing a violent crime on the chance that they may pick a armed citizen instead of a unarmed victim. I am very curious to see those statistics but will probably never because it would not be PC to advocate the "gunning down of the poor victim of circumstance who was just trying to get money to support his unfortunate drug habit" by taking the watch and wallet of a guy who is minding his own business... Oh wait... I forgot I am not PC...
