The most incredible journey that you could ever go on.

I fall down into my bed after having completed my work and I reach across to my nightstand to turn offf my lamp. I soon roll back into my once comfortable postion and struggle to regain a sense of tranquility before I eyes wander off into the abyss. I cant fall asleep and soon I turn on the television. The once dark room is illuminated with the flood of artificial light and I fix my eyes on the television show. I see nothing interesting and so I turn it off. I struggle to fall asleep but my eye turns to every corner of the room. In one corner a life-size cardboard cut-out of Boba Fett stands vigilante ready to attack anyone who stands in the way of him and his goal and unwilling to accept help when he knows he needs it. I turn my head towards the computer at the far end of the room and hear what seems to be a song left on that is still playing even as the computer begins to finally shut down. The words to Eye of the Tiger wane all I can hear is "Risin up, straight to the top, had the guts, got the glory, went the distance, now Im not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive". The music finally shuts off and I look above my television and see the DVD case to "Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Season 3" on which a wad of meat, a milkshake, and some fries grace the cover. The cover spurs some old memories of the three chracters battling a giant robotic bunny while trying to buy some gifts at a mall, classic. My attention once again wanders to another portion of my room where I see a poster of hook-up lines from Quagmire, one of the characters from Family Guy. One particular line touches my heart, "Can you count? Then you better count on spending the night." The many random items please my bored mind enough to send me to sleep. Its a wierd world, but I embrace every part of it.

The Dry-Erase Board?

The board is white with marker streaks and the remnants of several letters that used to make up words that were either part of a sentence, quote, or idea written on the board during another class that occured earlier in the day. These words were just words until people actually saw them and interpreted them for theirselves. They could represent different ideas and emotions for different people but they all shared a common purpose, to spark the mind into a thought process that could have gone as far as changing the reader's life through education or inspiration.

Setting a New Course

"The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks."
This qoute is just one of the few provacative ideas posed by Ralph Waldo Emerson in Self Reliance which stirs many emotions and an infinite number of opinions about what he is trying to get to. First of all if you do not happen to understand what tacking with a boat means, for all of you landlovers out there, it is a turn but Emerson presents it in a different context. Are our lives not voyages as well? We begin early in our lives becoming aquainted with the waters of life becoming sea worth as one would say. When we finally reach an age of metal maturity we begin to head out into unknown waters, being asked to do things that we have never done before. We eventually get our bearings and set our sights for a goal or point in our life that we continue to work for so that our lives may have had some meaning. Most people head straight for this goal experincing the rough waters of humanity as well as the calm waters of success.
However, why should we stay on a steady course, why not take several detours. Instead of living a plain and boring life some people stray off of the beaten path and pursue something new and exciting. The world is full of limitless possibilities, why not take a chance and try some out?

The Earth Is Flat!

When children enter their first science class they are told that this Earth is round, but what they don't know is that scientists have all joined forces to trick us as part of a great practical joke. If the Earth was round then wouldn't the people in the southern hemisphere just fall off the Earth? Ohh, I mean southern hemisquare. Take a look at how many boats and planes just go mysteriously missing. They have fallen off the ends of the Earth! Has everyone gone mad! Am I the only one left that has a single ounce of intelligence in my body? Look alive people! The Earth is flat, and if noone knows then people will continue to lose more and more sailors each year! This insensitive joke has gone on long enough. Go out into the world and tell your science teacher, "You are wrong sir!"

What is an American?

What is an American? Is an American white or black? Is an American English, French, German, Russian, African, East-European, or Asian? An American is everyone who has comes to this land of freedom in pursuit of happiness, prosperity, religious freedom, and safety. We are farmers, construction workers, soldiers, lawyers, politicians, musicians, bankers, miners, etc. America is not just a giant nation with vast plains, rivers, beautiful beaches, enormous mountains, and frozen tundras, it is a land where whatever you put your heart into or whatever you seek to achieve then you can make it happen. Some people ere critical that are government is too soft or too hardheaded, some say we are disrespectful of different ideas or beliefs, but take those people to any other country and they will begin to miss the freedoms and oppurtunities that they take for granted every day in America. Some people complain that elections are skewed, take them to Iran or the Democratic Republic of the Congo where elections are not even held, and if they are they are very corrupt. People may view this country in any manner they please but I will continue to see it as my true home that I will never stop loving and I will do anything to protect.

Refridgerator Poem

A word or two by the way of this cape, (1) I wakened was with thundering noise and pietous shrieks of dreadful voice, (2) The cry of the indians was dreadful, especially when they saw their men run out of the rendevous but were commanded not to shoot till they could take full aim at them, (3) Oh the roaring, and singing and danceing, and yealling of those black creatures in the night, which made the place a lively resemblance of hell, (4) An army of Devils is horribly broke in upon the place which is the center and, after a sort, the firstborn of our English settlements, (5) They charged the English, that so kindly received them with their muskets loaded with pistol shot, that down fell their God, and divers lay sprawling on the ground, (6) Thus it pleased God to vanquish their enemies and give them deliverance. (7)

Farewell Steve Irwin

As most of us woke up today to enjoy the splendors of labor day weekend most of us had no idea tradgedy had struck. Steve Irwin, the croc hunter, was killed filming a documentary doing what he loved best. Most people remember him for his insane crocodile wrestling and his baby feeding but we will always remember his great work at helping preserve the natural wildlife of Australia. In rememberance of his work and his life I believe tomorrow the flag should be flown at half mast and that every September 4 will be Steve Irwin Day. Goodbye mate.

Live long and prosper,
