reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others of that ilk. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor (I was a manager for them, but it became a misery-fest and I went back to driving—at least NOW I have time off). Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Why did I get married?

Why did I get married?
I just can't remember now. When someone talks about getting married, I surely cannot recommend it. No matter what, nothing is ever right; never good enough. Why did I do it? I just don't know. I certainly wouldn't do it again if I could go back.

For me, marriage has been a constant fight -- one for survival. Why? I guess because I am married to someone who EXPECTS to be handed everything on a platter without working. Someone who won't drive and expects to be driven everywhere. Who actually fights against everything I try to do to bring money into the house and succeed.

Maybe it's just that we have changed, I don't know. It didn't used to be this way, but for a long time now, it has been teeth gritting every day. There are occasions when the person I fell in love with surfaces, but they're rare. I'm not the latest thing anymore, the animals and I are pushed aside thing. Whatever... whatever!

So, for young people in love, guys especially, think it over. Don't jump in. Make sure they like what you like and aren't "hiding it" until later. I don't know. I just know that I, and most guys I know, are miserable. Some women too.

I'll stop now...

marriage is not aways good nor is it always bad. Think, and I mean really think, what life would be without the person you married. And not how you think it was like. Unless you were forced to marry there was something good about the person you chose to marry and it's remember that, that will get you through the not so good times.
Hugs, Dean
