Twenty-two minutes and seventeen seconds. That's how long. Without protective gear, that's how long you'll last out here. A group of engineers learned that they hard way. I was sitting in the mess hall with Donovan and Ariel when we got the call. The long range antenna was out and needed to be fixed. The weather was at its worst, but we had to do ( Read more... )

I stood on that hill top and looked into the distance. The steady thumping of artillery batteries rang out in the distance. I looked into the sky and smiled. My boys were behind me, down the hill in their fighting holes. The first missile impacted the hill to my left. It kicked up dirt and ash, leaving a small, glassed over impact crater. I looked ( Read more... )

I stood up and looked at the table before me. Eighteen chairs surrounded the table. All were filled. All, except for the one to my right. That one chair sat without an occupant. The chair my left was filled. The man inhabiting it looked up at me. He had a slight frown upon his face. Down near the end of the table, an extra chair had been added. The ( Read more... )

Well, this entry is going to be divided into two parts. First off, I just returned from seeing King Kong. The movie was amazing. It was visually amazing, beautfiul for the ears and just a good enjoyable flick. I do have one thing to say those. Emotionally, the movie is moving and filled with sad parts. But I didn't feel a thing. This is due to the ( Read more... )

I don't know what the hell is going on. Nothing makes much sense anymore. I'm a stranger in my own home. I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I mean, I know what I want, where I want to be, who I want to be with. But none of it's ever going to happen. What the hell is wrong with me?

Holy crap!!! She's right! How the hell did I forget that!? I stayed at Jessie's for two days. I kinda miss it. I think about going home, and I think about the Jessie's. That's prbably because I spent more time there this week than I did at my actual house, due to UAB Honor Band. Ah. I will cherish the memories.

It's been awhile. Where to begin? Oh, first off; I just ran a mile in boots. The first mile I've ever run. It was beautiful. I feel so good. And in boots! I no longer have any knees. Anyways, a lot's happened. Met new people, lost people I hardly knew. Same old same old. I've got mixed feelings for someone, but I'm not sure if she knows how she ( Read more... )

Ineteresting, regular day. I helped Kilpat study for biology. Fun stuff. Good luck with that. I have faith in your abilities. Other than that, nothing too big. Yeah. Woohoo! Right. Someone make a comment. Or else!

Ah, Homecoming Day. Physical exertion to the max. I lost ten pounds in the last week. For those of you keeping track at home, the current count is twenty-five pounds gone. Yee-haw. Anyways, I went and saw "Lord of War." That was a most depressing movie. Very depressing. Yeah. If you like being happy, don't see it. It was still good. But really ( Read more... )

I will certainly be glad to be the first I see anymore to update my live Journal in two freakin' days. Hooray! Anyways, I've doing nothing. At all. I wanna go to Blockbuster and rent that new Thai martial arts movie, and also Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Anyways, that's news.
