I Have Something to Say

I can deal with some have done nothing with their lives so the embellish
the minnow was a whale ,the 4 ft gator was 12 ft

I hate when you tell the absolute truth and some jerk assumes because they have never done anything with their lives ,you have to be a liar because you have

I had already done more by my 21st birthday then some men I know do in a lifetime
I started working a full time job when I was 13 ,my Dad threw me out of the house ,I needed to rent from someone ,split rent and utilities and food
Walk to work and school ,but I tried doing both
Moved my girlfriend in at 14 ,married her at 16
But I had to agree to pass the Naval Battery test to join the service to get my parents to sign and go to another state to marry since Florida wouldn't let a 16 yr old marry (my woman was already 18 )
2 weeks after I turned 17 I was in boot camp
I was still on 25 days vacation (terminal leave ) when I was hired by a major rail road ,,I turned 21 in March ,I was not discharged until June
I still had 15 days left on my leave ,so technically ,,I was working for a rail road while I was still on active duty from the US Coast Guard
When I went to boot camp I was the youngest man in the military
Its rare you get in as soon as you turn 17 ,but I was on the delayed enlistment program ,,
I would have went the same week except my cousin chickened out and I was also on the "Buddy System " which means you have someone you know with you ,it is suppose to help you from not getting home sick ,,but they had to pair me with someone I didn't know ,and he was so tall they picked him for Charlie company the first day ,,which is for people over 6 foot ,,he was trained for Presidential security detail ,I guess its easier for the President to hide behind tall guys if he is being shot at ,,so I got home sick and wanted out ,
I missed my wife ,and they mess with you that you're woman is sleeping with you're best friend ,and they won't let you make phone calls for 3 weeks
So I had to rely on letters ,but she sent me 5 a day ,she missed me too
At 17 a know nothing kid moved to Miami ,
and had to leave my scared to death wife alone for 36 hours in a strange city with people she didn't know ,at least while I was in boot camp she had my parents ,,that 2 days ,she had no one ,,I had no clue that would happen
I would have let her bring her sister or something so she wasn't alone

Anyway ,this is 100% true ,,so for an ass wipe to call me a liar about any of it makes me madder then someone exaggerating about their lives
I get in a world where so many have done so much ,they don't fit in if they haven't
In school I couldn't play sports ,but I could play guitar ,,so I have always been different ,had to make my own way ,,and it makes men mad when they tell their lies ,and you can brag "I saved lives in the Coast Guard "
And now I work on trains ,and they go sure kid ,sure
I have a high IQ ,,but that only means I have a high ability to learn
Not that I am smarter then anyone else ,,just that I learn things easy and retain the things I learn ,I also have an above average memory
so I remember details
People who lie can't ,,and I catch them ,,but I don't embarrass them
"Its their lie ,let them tell it how they want to "
If they are not harming anyone ,let them be
apparently they have low self esteem already
I know what its like as a kid among men not to fit in
When you do the same job as them ,but everyday hear "Kid how old are you ?
17 ,,"Kids in the Coast Guard ,,boys this one is not out of diapers yet
I was already more of a man then some of them would ever be
they were never taught not to pick on kids ,especially one that was trained to fight too
So don't judge people so quick ,,unless you know for sure they are lying
I myself was forced into an early start ,,I barely got to be a kid

No. I am grown up.
