pictures of a millennium

this is an iconic moment from the early 2000s. the exact moment when america knew it was about to change. and the only people who truly witnessed it were in this very room. his face says it all. shock and concern, his country was under attack and his people needed him. he became the hero that they loved then and would make jokes about for years afterward.in the following years he sent our troops to a place we didn't like to fight a war we didn't want. Gorge w bush wasn't a perfect man, but he did what he thought was right for the good of our nation, even if it was an unpopular opinion. that takes guts. or, maybe, something sinister was afoot. is it fear we see in his eyes? or the look of a man who's plan comes together. is that a furrowed brow? or the hidden smirk of a man who likes to leave thermite at ground zero. he wasn't a popular president before the attack. very little pull on office. he won by a small margin after all. this did get him the support he needed for a go at the middle east. is he the concerned hero of this story? or a wolf in sheep's clothing? we might never know. just remember kids, jet fuel ant melt steel beams.

reely good quotes

reel life

1. my favorite movie (movies) of all time have got to be the star wars trilogy. while i think theyre not the best movies by any means to me they are the best cinematic experience ive ever had. there is nothing that gets me quite as excited as hearing the opening theme and watching those great yellow letters scroll through the stars. ive never been disappointed by a star wars movie.

2. i dont tend to like chick flics or over the top action movies, with a huge exception to kingsman the secret service because that movie is awesome. i dont like most comedies because most are not funny. though i love most will farrel movies that hes ever made. i also think mark whalberg is hilarious. Jonah hill and channing Tatum are great together as well. romance and romantic comedies are a no go

3. i watch movies often on a couch with few to no distractions. its the best way to enjoy a movie next to an empty theater. it helps me pay attention and i can have it as loud as i want. the chair has to be soft with the option to lay back. no food is required and no drinks either.

4. all i need to properly enjoy a movie is really just a good movie. all the rest just helps but thats it, its not required. and i dont like people who ask questions throughout the movie. worst thing ever.

6. if my life were a movie i would be played by Jake gyllenhal some main points would be my departure to the military, my first deplayment. my coming home to my family would be another huge one. i think my story would have not a sad ending but a quick crashing and unanticipated one. something i or the audience would never expect. it would hit hard and fast, leaving the audience confused and leave a morbid taste in the air.

such a great visit

Last week, foreign exchange college students came and toured our school because they have never seen an american high school. i met with felix and terry. i learned that they are both majoring in business management. i learned that felix played soccer for 20 years and that terry sells IVs for a living and has one son. i told them about my hobbies and personalities and my job. i shared our athletic and theater departments along with our wood shop. i shared the science wing and the elevators and the always of our school. then we shared the culinary and library departments. they enjoyed the theater aspect and the wood shop and the tiny house theyre making. they think that were all very friendly and nice. i personally learned some Chinese characters and got to view photos they took of their home towns and lives. i then learned how our cultures and societies differ and especially how our schools differ greatly. if i had more time i would have tried to learn more about their language and home.

A and B have waited for over an hour before C arrived, and even longer before B brokev the silence that followed.
"what are you wearing, i told you to look inconspicuous?" asked b

"No one can see who I am so id say i am looking inconspicuous" c replied

"inconspicuous means unnoticed, everybody noticed the clown walking into the restaraunt"

"But, my friend, who in their right mind would dress as a clown? Certainly not a wanted criminal about to attempt a robbery"

"Be quiet you idiot, someone will hear you!"

"Look around us, no one is looking or listening, if you looked closely they are trying their hardest to avoid it. its the perfect camouflage."

In the silence A finally spoke for the first time "i agree with C and no one followed us in, we're in the clear"

C lit a cigarette and sneered at B

A spoke again "Now C did you bring the stuff?

C smiled "once again the clown saves the day. Its all packed into the thick concealing jacket of my costume"

"what did you bring?"

"Two 45.s and one 12 gauge"

"seems a little overkill for a fancy restaurant like this"

"never can be too careful"

B spoke again "yeah right you just wanted to use a shotgun, we could get away clean with th knives on our table if we needed to"

C replied "so what, as long as we get the money"

A spoke again "the weeks over so all the money they made will be all in the safebox upstairs, judging by the turnout there should be over $2000 dollars in there, plus whats in these peoples wallets"

C replied with a smile "well lets get on with it then, i doubt these people have ever been robbed by a clown"

A spoke "okay. 1..."

B "2.."

finally C screamed "3!" and opened his jacket

but they weren't faster than the woman beside them who had her gun pointed at Cs head before he could even open his jacket. She spoke in a gruff voice and calmly said "sheriffs deputy, you're under arrest"

and the clown in the restaurant just pouted with a cigarette in his mouth

object inspired piece

A ring. A simple band of metal wrapped around ones finger. An accesory, rather useless. Yet nothing holds quite the same sentimental value that a ring does. A ring can symbolize a promise, a secret or a passion. A ring can show ones social status, social groupings, general interests and hobbies. A ring can show the state of someones heart. A ring can be a simple band, or an unbreakable bond. Gold and diamond to tin, yet the meaning behind it is priceless. Thats why nothing means as much to me as the ring given to my by someone very special. Its rather simple, cheap and heavy. But for some reason i wouldnt trade it for the biggest diamond in the world unless it was given to me by her.

 It was a surprise present. She was very excited to give it to me and i was excited to find out what it was. i know her well and even that gave me no clue as to what it was. Shes spontanious and weird like that. Not that thats a bad thing, not at all. So all weekend she gave me no hints, she just mentioned it all the time. I wanted to see her and this surprise so badly, i was like a kid at toys r us. And that lasted for two whole crazy days. I barely had time to think and when i did my thoughts were dominated by her and this surprise. She just kept mentioning it without building it up or overselling it. Then, finally, Monday morning came around.i finally got to see her again. it was outside of the coir room that she placed the ring in the palm of my hand.

Its a promise ring. usually very simple with a meaning very deep. simple, steel, and deeply comforting. i loved it and i love her.
