How the Mighty Fall

As I looked at the contrast between these two photographs,It brings a sort of sadness to me. First of all, I see a wasted life,a life that for all intents and purposes could have been remarkably better used especially given his ability to lead and motivate the masses ( even though terror was often the motivation) he still could have done so much good. The oil revenue that Iraq could have cashed in on alone could have put it in a much better economical situation than what it is in now.
I see a once proud,confident man who thought himself very important.I would hope in his last days some word of the gospel was able to get a hold on him and he walked out on that trapdoor having peace in his heart with God. It really shocked me this morning as I was watching the video of him being brought out and the noose was placed around his neck, this wasn't a movie! I was watching a man within moments of his death.

Rocky; A true American Icon

Yo! Adrianne!
I have to admit I've been somewhat bitten by the Rocky bug as of late. I never had much interest in seeing any of the movies and had only seen parts of ones that I'd had.
What intrigues me is the solid American storyline, a man who isn't the best or the brightest,but loves his sport, loves his town, and loves his girl. He will do anything for any or all of the three. I hope to see Rocky Balboa tomorrow night with Job and John Tate, Jed, and my sister.

Hey! I'm sorry that it's been so long since I've written anything,My Dad got high-speed internet hooked up and with that comes millions of opportunities to spend time streaming video or running info searches.Anyway, I hope you all had a ery Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year!

Have a very Merry Chistmas everyone!

Happy Birthday to my sister Jamin!

Aww the life of the rich and Dumb

Nicole Richie ya'll

Happy Birthday Job!

Murphy's combat laws

Friendly fire - isn't.

You are not Superman; Marines and fighter pilots take note.

Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you.

If you are forward of your position, your artillery will fall short.

Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.

The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:when they're ready.when you're not.

There is no such thing as a perfect plan.

Five second fuses always burn three seconds.

There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.


The important things are always simple; the simple are always hard.

The easy way is always mined.

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

A Trip to Gettysburg

Jed and I took a flying trip to Gettysburg Pa. over the weekend to go to a wedding of a friend of
his, or for the guy, a funeral. Just kidding. But anyway, we made it safely and although I
didn't get all the pics that I wanted to, these are from Little Round Top.

A Trip to Boston

Yesterday, Josh Otey and myself took a flying trip to Boston. We had our buddy passes from Job and spent about 4 hours, half of which we spent mostly on the T underground.But it was cool and we saw Ryan Rainville and had a good time in the city.

Twice in two weeks

This is the second warning that Ihave received in the last three weeks. The first one was speeding, the second one,the one I got last night, was for passing an officer too close when he was parked on the side of the road with his lights on.I was ticked off but, what the heck........
