Good afternoon. It is 1716 hours (5:16 PM). I am sitting in my living room, my left leg is crossed over my right leg, which is elevated on the big brown oversized bean bag. I am sitting next to Mackenzie (my wife), and she is watching "who's line is it anyways?". These are some good days, in my house at least.
This blog, these days and from here on out, will be aimed towards telling the world about my days in LE (Law Enforcement). Sometimes I have the need to vent. Sometimes I don't know how, or who to, or what about. Maybe the idea behind starting this is my own personal way of getting things off of my chest, I don't know. I certainly have noticed an increase in my overall stress these days. My stress, I believe, can be blamed primarily on things going on, current events, all of which are just tallied up to being "signs of the times." The things I have noticed lately: increase in natural disasters, war brewing between countries, a general lack of faith in Heavenly Father and the gospel of Jesus Christ, a rise in crime and hate between different people of different races and beliefs. All of these have been talked about and warned of years prior to these days. It's kinda scary.
So with work, like I said I am a Law Enforcement Officer; not far off from my original dream of being a lawyer. For the sake of potential ousting of myself by my personal beliefs which may or may not be construed wrongfully, as we see with politicians who run for office, regardless of what it is they run for, I will not disclose who I am employed by. I don't even know if I even want to publish my blog to any public forum yet. I don't want to have any sort of attention at all for my ideas. However, they might be useful and interesting to some. Some people might be interested in the stories I tell about work, some people might identify with my ideas and beliefs, and like the support of having someone go through the same things I struggle with, some people might not understand at all. Like myself. I used to secretly make fun of bloggers. I thought it was ridiculous when I would see or here of someone constantly writing about their lives. I digress.
Work sometimes can be challenging. While I say I am a "Law Enforcement Officer," people generally assume I am talking about "Police Officers." Well, I am not a police officer. I am a corrections officer, assigned to the tactical emergency response team (Corrections Tactical, or CTAC, as it is called). I see and hear things daily that some people will never hear or see in their entire lives. Have you ever responded to a medical emergency, where there is a report of an unresponsive person, only to arrive at the scene and know for certainty that the person is dead and beyond help, and still have to perform CPR on that person? have you ever had to respond to a fight, where there was so much blood on the ground that you could've guessed that there had been a stabbing, and the person next to you could've guessed the same? Have you ever been cussed out so badly it makes you wonder why you are even in your profession, all because you wear a badge on your chest? I have. All of these things. I don't want to say it's hard to handle all of it, but it is. I have the day off today and tomorrow. I work on Friday. Who knows what'll happen then.
There is support in the guys that I work with. And with my wife. She is so wonderful. She is the greatest thing in the world to me. I hesitate when I say "thing", because these days the feminazis and the movement behind it would crucify me with my choice of words. "She is NOT an OBJECT!" they would say, but, she IS my WIFE. The word "wife" is a noun. A Noun is defined as a person, place, or THING, and sometimes an idea. So, I stand by my choice of words. But would she understand some of the things I talk about? I don't even know if I have the capabilities to talk or convey in words some of the things that bother me. Sometimes I just need to vent, and sometimes I don't think it is something I can vent to another human being about. Sometimes I just need to talk about it. But sometimes I can't.
I think I am going to wrap it up for today. This was meant to be just an intro to my new aim for my blog, but it turned into a full post. Oh well. There will be more to come tomorrow. I will probably post more then, then again, it is just another day off and I don't think anything interesting will happen. We'll see.
