| Lately, I have been blogging about LDAC frequently. Im excited about it, as much as one can be, I guess. Im just ready to get there, divorce myself from society for a while and just train to be a platoon leader. I am just hoping that my knowledge of STX lanes and land nav dont wear too thin. I am going to be going to see 2LT Grey and making sure I keep my lane knowledge fresh on my mind for when I get to LDAC. Its so important that I do well here. Im also training to be in the best shape possible. I just need to stay motivated to get the perfect score on the PT test; a 300. I think I can do it if I commit myself to training as hard as I would like to. In other news, Obama won the Democratic nomination the other day. Hillary got beat and I am not sure what to think about it. I like Clinton and thats who I wanted to get the nod since Edwards dropped out. He was my first choice. But alas. I am going to vote for Obama solely because I am tired of Republican leadership, or lack thereof, in this nation. Bush has the lowest approval rating in American history. He has lead an unscrupulous 8 year term and I am ready for it to end, as are many Americans. I am like many Americans who will vote for Obama, not because we like him or have any faith in him, but because we are just so sick of the way things have been that anything remotely associated with change is a YES under the current circumstances. McCain is more of the same. And the United States doesnt need MORE of the same. We just dont. I think Obama is in a position to pick an incredible VP. Im not sure who it will be but I know the field will be great for his selection. I just hope the DNC doesnt pick who it will be. I think Obama likes Edwards and an Obama/Edwards ticket would be very good, IMO. I wouldnt be upset with an Obama/Clinton, but I think that, in a way, it is a conflict of interest. Bill and Barack dont like each other I am afraid. Oh well. SEN. Webb from VA would be an incredulous person to pick. He can go face to face with McCain and steal his war hero thunder. I dont know, it will be interesting. We will see.  |

| I got to get use to all of the things you said I got to get use to all of my things you dread You waved your hand you said come inside But how was I to know inside was blind So what I don't care and you know I don't mind. Just got to get use to all of the craziness in you You know I just want to be, I want to be where you are Nowhere in-between it's not what I thought it be so far I just want to be where you are So how could you hold me when all of the rage was there right for me? How could you choke me, you told me the one thing you wanted Was me and you to clear the air I don't mind the second place line maybe someday if you got the time you could sit right down and tell me How to get use to all of the crazy things you do You know I just want to be, I want to be where you are Nowhere in-between it's not what I thought it be so far I just want to be where you are All I could do to pass my time is hit the playback and rewind All of the ways you put me aside caged me up so you would not find The way it should be between you and me all it would take is 1 2 3 And I'd be right there right then you'd see I want to be, I want to be where you are Nwhere in-between it's not what I thought it be so far I just want to be where you are |

| yesterday, me and a couple of fellow military buddies went up to our campsite where we camp and had an amazing time. its the most amazing place ever. its on the top of one of the highest mountains here in east tennessee and we just are able to get away and have a good time. sitting under the stars, smoking cigars, drinking beer, and just talking about the military, our careers as officers, all the while, great alternative modern rock is playing from the truck. its great. all around where we camp, satellite towers are standing. so, we had the idea to surmount one of them and i did. me and my buddy from the naval academy climbed it and i took some of the most amazing pictures i have ever seen. here are a few of them.           the site picture underneath the navigation bar here on my blog is also a picture i took. i think it is the most amazing picture i have ever taken and it is hands-down, my favorite. it is going to be the cover of my debut record. i love satellites and they just amaze me for some reason. they are beyond explanation for me. |

| This should be a night to be remembered. We'll remember you can be sure of that. On and on we walk out to the crowd I'm expected, you're expected. No one else will know that you've been crying. Think of where we are and who will care. I should of hired someone who could sing just a little better Prince controversy I should feel we're going somewhere better But I don't. Why should we be anything but strangers In clothes that we don't own? I just realized that this has been the first time We've seen each other's vulnerability. Somewhere between hello and goodbye, There is something serious that we always missed I should feel we're going somewhere better But I don't Why should we be anything but strangers In clothes that we don't own Drifting in and out a priest is talking Something about a body from a bone. A thinking man said I could never be Half as close to you as you are to me I should feel it all leads somewhere better But I don't Why should we be anything but strangers In clothes that we don't own I should feel we'll get to some place better But I don't Why should we be anything but strangers In clothes that we don't own |

| What is life if not a joke one night she went out for smokes and they took her apart like a ragdoll in the back of a van in an Alabama motel room I have one of them tied up in the bathroom I am down and out but he will not get away with it again When the night comes in I hope I'm out of the rain When the night comes in she makes me whole again I never sleep, I just watch TV and the gun it lies next to me whispering in an Alabama motel room I reflect on her sweet perfume I am down and out but they will not get away with it again Say you love me we will never get the chance again |

| oh the moon burns bright tonight like a thousand staring eyes directed towards mine bend and break with the light as we rise one last time so don't say that you don't care when you know that i do write down every little thing that makes you love me right now remember how i held you above me and the stars that burn through our eyes like an everlasting gaze cutting through the night and we cry one last time so don't say you don't care when you know that i do don't make it unfair, girl, you know that you do cause this may be the last love, the last touch, the last to shine, to shine so write down every little thing that makes you love me right now remember how i held you above me cause this may be the last love, the last touch, the last to shine, to shine every little thing that makes you love me write down... |
