TweetSo here I am in Tacoma at the LaQuinta this morning when I see one of our guys loading his gear in his car, I walked over and said "good morning soldier" he smiled and bid me the same. I shook his hand and let him know that I was very appreciative of him serving our country, this kid was probally 5'2" built like a brick s#it house and looking all sharp in his pressed BDU's and black beret and noticed this kid was brass, a second lieutenant ! I asked him how old he was and he said he was 22 !! man, I'll tell ya what that few minutes just made me a different person today. what I mean is thats the kind of thing that drives me to be a better man, to push myself harder in life, the gym, kempo, helping other people you name it. other people influence me big time whether they are coward assed gangsters, bums, tweekers, my teachers or that kid I met this morning those people really drive me. im so jealous of him, I wish I was a young soldier kicking ass instead of some old dude with HIV and just living out my last days. I dont know, maby I am doing good ? I mean I help people best as I can, been in Kempo for allmost six years now, climbed mountains, traveled to different countries, did alot of cool stuff most guys haven't but when I meet guys like that I feel unacomplished in some ways..like im just here.
