Nothing stays the same and everything changes

Maybe I am becoming the old guy who complains about how different everything is and how rough I had it. Actuallu I am not going to say anything about how rough I had it but I will make some comments on how everything changes.  My first rant of change what is the deal with the army? When I was in the army those who wore the berets had respect because you knew they earned it no matter what color maroon airborne, black ranger, green special forces. Not anymore every soldier gets to wear a black beret they didn't do anything special to eanr it other than be in the army, that is special yes don't get me wrong I respect and honor all service men and women, I am just saying the rangers had something that signified hey I went through so much more and the rest of us said yes you did and I respect you for it. As far as I can tell they have not given the Rangers another color of beret it is like they just took it away from them to make everybody have pride. We had pride just because we were in the army and didn't need to be given something that we didn't earn to have it either. I also recently found out that the unit I went through basic with has disbanded the 1/28th no longer exists. Sigh. These college kids see my army hat etc. and ask about my service. When I say I went to Ft. Jackson they relaxing Jackson. O.K. yes it is not a combat baisc but when I was in that was where over 50% of the recruits went and that is another thing my basic was ahrder then these kids today. There higher standards about weight and body fat. I had to get in on body fat funny thing is with the new satndards I would get in on weight.  And they have the nerve to mock where I did basic one guy went Ft. Leornard Wood I had to laugh because we always said lost in the woods.

O.K. enough about the army changing what about the whole sensationalism thing. I was looking at something  about Tron recently on retrojunk.com and some actually said the movie needed to be remade with better effects  and more action. That movie left such an inpression on me that  my cosouin and I played tron with frisbees. Thene there is the whole rate the game on graphics back in the day I never worried about graphics. Basketball on Atari 2600 anyone. Don't get me wrong I love my games and yes I do say look at those graphics but I think for me it is more of a man look what they can do now as opposed to they stink and you should get a different game regardless of gameplay because the graphics aren't that good.

I see they are remaking old cartoons like GI Joe. I am o.k. with that except they have messed it up. I was watching on ethe other day and they had some type of force field come on give me a break. I actually think some of the movie remakes are decent but once again they do remind me of how much things change. These are just a few things I have noticed. Oh yeah the right now attitude society has this I need what I want right now 1 hour photo the norm and not the exception. No one waits and even us older people are guilty of this but the younger people oh my they are terribleif they have to wait for anything I am not kidding.

Sure I sound all nostalgic and everything but you know what I love the things we have. Cell phones, computers that are so much more then they were, I would not give up my 360 for anything so there but sometimes I just kinda miss the simpler things.

On a side note and to update everyone the headaches are still here nothing has helped not even vikadyn so I will probably have to go back to the doctore this is getting pricy.

Point to ponder:  How in the world do courts expect anyone to remember anything when it takes them years to get a case to court? How am I supposed to remember what shift Iw orked two years ago?
