marriage, for some reason it is a word in our world that excites weomen and scares men. tonight i am going to try to work out why that is.
first of all, lets define what marriage is. Marriage to me is the joining of two people who are deeply in love, it is a public way to let everyone else know that they are forever together, forsaken all others. however, i asked some of my fellow soliders the same question, and the most comman answer is " A great way to make more money". in the army, if you are deployed and married, you almost double your pay check. i find this greatly distrubing, due to the fact that the purity of marriage has been reduced to a piece of paper and money. to me, when i get married, i don't care if i am poor or rich, as long as i have love. now don't get me wrong, i don't want to be poor, and i really don't want to be married tilli can support my family with thier every wish, but it is not the most important thing, love is.
i made an intersting observation today about marriage and musicals. as most of you know, i use to be a ballet dancer and actor, and even though i can no longer preform oon stage, i still love it. i noticed that there are very few musicals that have or end with a good marriage, but out of all of them Jekel and Hyde has the best example of love in marriage. for those of you who have not seen it, at the very end, henery and emma actually get married. however soon after they say i do, hyde comes out of henery, and henery kills himself so that he can protect emma from this monster that he created. when he does this, emma holds her one true love, and husband, and begins to weep over him, she than realizes the turth, and says one line " sleep well my sweet prince" that right there tells me how much love they had for each other. it tells me that he loved her so much that he would commit suicide in order to protect her, and emma loved him so much that she knew his angony and knew that the only way he would ever see peace, is in death, also she had so much love for him that she could let him go. to me that is ultimate love, the kind of love that we all should have in marriage.
well, those are my thoughts. tell me what you think. my e-mail is radiojoe85@yahoo.com

so, i know what your thinking, what is he doing writing again? well if your nice, i might tell you.
every writer needs inspiration for his writing, and that includes me. after the time that i like call " the dark months"
i have decided that it would be realy good for me if i started writing aout my thoughts on the internet, it always helped me before, so i might as well give it a shot. however, i do not believe i will use the same theme that i did before. the circus is dead to me now, and i hope dead forever.
all people are like books, some of us are like " see spot run' and can be read by everyone, others are more like "gone with the wind" and no one can hardly read them unless they put a lifetime to it. if i had to pick what kind of book i am, i would have to pick an Army manual, hard to understand at first but after a while it is as easy as a kids book. now i happen to like this fact about my self (or at least i do because i am stuck with it), because i hate it when people dislike me because they don't understand me. i believe that everyone should always be open and honest, no matter what. that gets me in trouble alot, actually i get my self in trouble alot no matter what, but still.
another good reason why i think people are like books is that we all have chapters, some are long, some are short. the people we meet and have relationships with are all chapters, some of these chapters last our entire life, some don't open till we are older, and some are only open for a short time. now when they are only open for a short time, does that meen that they didn't write alot in that chapter? i say no, i have some chapters in my book right now that are hunders of pages long, but only lasted for a few months, and you know what, those chapters will always be in my book, and i don't regret that. because when you regret is when you wish you were differant, and you sould be happy the way you are, no matter what the situation.
well i gesus i will stop for now, let all of this sit in for a little while, who knows, maybe i will even understand what i just wrote.........
