Sniff

Well, I've had a few people ask me lately, why my blog was left with the simple one word entry Tears.

First, and foremost, let me say RIGHT OUT, that they had nothing to do with the war. To be honest, I am too disgusted with the whole mess to shed a tear for that. My heart goes out to the many soldiers currently stationed in the Middle East. I hope for their safe return. All because I am a humanist, more than anything else.

With that out of my system, I will try to shed some light on why I had my tears:

Sometimes, in life, you just need to shed your tears. Be they tears of joy, tears of sorrow, or tears of fatigue, you just need to let them go. Or, I suppose, to paraphrase Brendon Frasier in Bedazzled you can wear them as salty badges of your humanity. I would never be too macho to admit that from time to time I shed a tear. I have emotions like any HUMAN BEING. Be they man or woman, we all have feelings and must express them at some point.

Maybe they were because I was under too much stress at work, maybe I had received some bad news. Maybe I had received some good news, maybe I was just tired. To be honest, at the time, it was the only reaction I had to offer. 'To what,' you may ask?

Life in general. I am a happy person by nature, but from time to time, like any pressure cooker, I need to hit the release valve. Some things just need to come out in their own way. This blog, the "Captain's Personal Blog" has gone a long way to helping me to vent some of my emotions over the last year. Sometimes, however, you just feel something that you can't put into words.

I would like to take this opportunity, once again, to thank my friends for always being there for me. It's good to know that they are out there, and that I am lucky enough to have met so many wonderful people.

On that note, *HUGE SIGH* Having re-read what I just wrote, I realize that it seemed a bit morose. I had not intention of making so, but tears are delicate things, and precious to behold. This is, by no means, the end of this blog in any way shape or form. I'm going to leave my inner wet-blanket at home for awhile and emote on less heavy topics. Next up-- My review of the Season (read SERIES) finale of FARSCAPE.
