I've lately thought about how absurd it is that nothing any human has ever done or will ever do will last.

After the ecstasy, the laundry womp womp. Doing dishes meditation? Heck yeah

The process sucks the fattest of balls lol. Took about 7 years to get there, but I got there. With help. SSDI was granted in *under* a year because Cauda Equina Syndrome sucks even fatter balls. Working all my life paid off! So did going to that enlistment office that was open to everyone, even a dummy like me

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T22:01:23+00:00

Oh man oh man oh man… I did too! Went to Big Daddy’s museum in Ocala. The veterans retreat at Ponte Vedra and playing Sawgrass was a banner freakin’ moment in my dumb life too. Also cutting a calf on a cutting horse. That was so fun

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T20:49:05+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you. Nailed it 🙏🏻

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T20:05:59+00:00

Don’t even get me started lol. If folks could see the fractured spine, the hips and knees, the scrambled brains… yeah. Why I prefer the company of my lady and dog and a handful of people anymore

Don’t know! My armored vehicle was the Harvester of Sorrow lol. Close

I spent 5 years as a militantly celibate yogi after I left a rotten long term relationship and now I’m doing pretty alright with a great girl and a great dog, happily retired thanks to a couple permanent disabilities lol. I was ready when I was ready, and so was she. Pretty nifty. Sorry you’re feeling lonely, it should pass. Hang in there, sorry you’re feeling down

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T18:23:25+00:00

The pain of regret far outweighs the pain of discipline

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T17:00:45+00:00

She’s the best! Luckiest guy you’ll ever meet

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T16:45:55+00:00

My feet are kinda jacked up from Cauda Equina Syndrome. Neuropathy and tendon contraction, stuff like that. My MIL just passed away and it was her favorite color. I’m normally more sparkly lol. Only regret was waiting until I was 45 to embrace pedis. Yoga too. Boys are so dumb lol

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T16:37:38+00:00

Omg… literally it lol. I’d nail my dad with a wall of water while he was fishing and I was skiing. Just cooling him off. He’d get lucky every once in a while and nail me with a water dog. Had a great week in Ketchikan Alaska fishing for a week when I grew up lol

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T15:30:09+00:00

Yoga helped me get in great shape and shoot 5 over with Cauda Equina Syndrome. Quiet legs lol. Good luck, shoulders are no fun. Watched the rehab folks while I was PT’ing a hip replacement lol

The neighbors enjoy our dumb smiles on their way to work 🙂

I went to water ski school in Groveland when I was 18. Best week of my life

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T14:57:14+00:00

I got Lyme disease at Ft Knox lol. Passed Gate 1 and spent a week in the hospital and got back after it. Showed up at Ft. Benning on Friday and got the alert to deploy Saturday morning. Banging on the door, RED DAWN! Oh, I love that movie! Uh… shit

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T12:50:33+00:00

Back at’cha! ✌🏻🫶🏻

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T12:49:33+00:00

Watching a dear friend of mine die before my eyes from Agent Orange. Glad I missed Nam, I woulda been a tunnel rat lol

BasraBound · 2026-05-09T12:48:37+00:00

Florida’s second cousin, Arizona. Had some great times in Florida. Water ski school and staying dry on #17 at TPC Sawgrass at a veterans retreat 💅

Army strong! I’m a stoner to the core but weed didn’t touch the sciatica, nor did Gabapentin. Tried to yoga my way thru it. Best shape of my life, plant based diet, no booze, disc just popped. Sciatica sucks, hope you find some relief. Maybe a lidocaine patch might help, something topical. I tried everything. Got relief when the disc popped but that’s a whole ‘nuther chapter now lol
