Just a guy.....

Back about 3 or 4 years ago, there was this guy....who had a blog. Damn, it was one of the funniest, most insightful things I'd ever read.

He was just a guy in Chicago. With a wife and son. A job. And a need to tell stories.

He made us laugh - dear Gott that man made us laugh. And he'd inevitably bring a tear to your eye, talking about friends he had lost.

He talked about the Military. He made sure we had a glimpse past the curtain the MSM put up into what drives people. The Heroes that were fighting the fight for us.

He was a guy with a blog.

I've had the pleasure of meeting this guy. Several times. In fact, it's my honor to call him my friend.

But he's just a guy with a blog. The gift of bull shit. And a drive and focus to do the right thing, the likes of which I've never seen. A need to make sure the TRUE and RIGHT stories get told.

Things started happening, changing - as will happen when you put all those things together. That blog became a force of nature. This guy surrounded himself with other guys with that drive and focus. People REALLY started paying attention.

Now this guy with a blog has a post up about meeting the President of the United States.

Holy Shit.

Now, I want to make this clear. This is NOT a suck-up post. To put it bluntly, I have no reason TO suck-up. I'm putting this up there because the blogisphere has changed over the years. Grown. Many of you that read here wouldn't have been around "way back when". Many of you only know the Blackfive you see now.

He's a guy. With a blog. A tendency to drop names. A gift for bull shitting. Who loves his beer. And his family.

He's making a difference Every. Single. Day.

He's a guy. With a blog.

Now, go read about his day yesterday, then try and tell me that one person doesn't matter. That there is nothing we can do to make a difference. Just try and tell me that.

Cause I'll throw the bull shit flag.

Go read about my friend. Who has this blog.
