"Knowing is half the battle"


I saw G.I. Joe Friday with some buddies that I used to have epic G.I. Joe battles with(we lost a lot of good men). We have been waiting for this movie for twenty years and we were sooo ready.
It is strange how when you are a little guy and when it comes to G.I. Joe's, all you care about is if you get to win the battle in the end or not.
Similar to the old corny Public Service Announcements at the end of every G.I. Joe episode where the characters would really try to sell the "Knowing is half the battle" idea and they would give us "kids" tips to stay safe or aware of surroundings. The way I live my life now is by that old saying..."Knowing is half the battle"... that had only a small percent of relevance as a child. I am 99% of the time aware my surroundings now. I have to be.In rehab,school...everything in life is waaaaaaaaaaaay different now.
Thanks General Hawk!
