American Courage: Fact or Fiction

      Let's take a journey into the mind of your average American citizen. We see boobs and other such things, and what else do we see? NARROW MINDED RACISM!!! COCKY FAGS WHO THINK THEIR CONTRY IS BETTER!!!!!!
       Everyone thinks America is "land of the free and the home of the brave" but just how true is that? Let's take time to think about that, shall we?
       LAND OF THE FREE-No, not at all. Do we have freedom of religon? Let's see our pledge mentions God, every religon doesn't have "god", they a god (Allah.) So should the pledge have under god taken out,yes a very strong yes. Do we have freedom of speech? Again, no not at all. If someone said "hey, I don't like America" many people would pummel them ruthlessly. I get "put down" for trying to speak freely and am in some cases shunned by many poeple. I only have this to say to the American public, WAKE UP AND STOP BEING SUCH RETARDS.
       HOME OF THE BRAVE- There isn't to much I have to say on this subject except for this statement. Americans think they have so much courage but let me ask you this, is lobbing cruise missles at the "enemy," brave, even that they can't fire back? I think not. On the mourning of September 11th when the planes flew into the buildings and they died for their religon and what they believe in, I have to say that paying the ultimite price is pretty damn brave. Now tell that suicide is a cowards way out, warning: if you say this I will have to pee in your mouth and force you to drink it.

The World Cup

          Once every four years, nations from every populated country gear up for some intense soccer action. With loyal fans ready to start a riot at the drop of a hat or socoring of a goal in this case, each country trys to get into this tournament.
          While this World Cup was held in Korea in the afternoon it was early morning in Kentucky. I think this WC could be called "hell, this suck team made it far" or even called "jesus ref, are you blind." I shall cover both of these in my  great soccer-ness.
          HELL, THIS SUCK TEAM MADE IT FAR- What can I say, I never thought the U.S.A would have made it past the group round. With a stunning win over Portugal and a hard fought draw with Korea the U.S. barely made it in after getting pummeled by Poland. Head coach of the U.s. mens team said their goal this time was to show the world they could play and to Bruce Arena and his team, we tip our hats to a job well done.
          With the upset of defending champs, France, the world started to take notice of Senegal. They were shrugged off after they were runners up in the African Nations cup and should have been carefully watched instead. They went on to turn many heads with their un-noticed talent. With a growing fan base they continued to dominate well into the round of 16 where they were eliminated by Brazil. They will be a country to watch in the future.
          After Brazil had a fun time with Turkey, the Turks got down to business. After Roberto Carlos was a complete ass to them, they were unstoppable (well, until they played Brazil again). They were amazing, with pretty goals and good defending they made an excellent run for the cup but fell short and had to settle for third place.
          JESUS REF, ARE YOU BLIND- I know that this statement was uttered all to many times around the world after hand balls, overly dramatic Brazilians(ooops, I meant players) and just bad officiating in general. When Turkey played Brazil and kicked the ball toward Roberto Carlos and hit him in the shin and he clutched his face people yelled "what the #*!^, are you stupid!." When the U.S. played Mexico and America got away with a clear hand ball American fans yelled "yay for blind officals" while south of the border yelled "what the #*!^, are you blind!." I guess you could say the U.S.A. got theirs when a German player knocked the ball away with  his hand and Germans yelled  "whoo hoo we screwed over America" and then all American fans yelled "sh*#, were screwed now" and turned the channel.
          I know that there were good parts to this WC, but, I don't want to cover those, it would take to long.

Mr. Martin and the Blue Duckling

One time Mr. Martin was just sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot selling a blue duckling. Then a cop came and arrested him because everyone knows that you can't dye a duckling blue and sell it unless six are for sale at once. So Mr. Martin is in jail and a guy named Louie is in with him. Louie and Mr. Martin break out of jail and move to Montana and start a blue duckling farm because there is no law in Montana for selling blue ducklings. Then a pelican came along and took all the ducklings and put them in his bill and gave Mr. Martin and Louie a nice shinny penny for all the blue dyed ducklings. They took the money and bought some gum and took it over to Malaysia and sold it and lived happily ever after. THE END.

My Trip To NYC

As not a lot of people may know, I went to New York City over spring break. I shall tell you about all of my adventures in that wonderful city. We left on Sunday and came back Saturday because this was a band trip. I saw many great things here and was very amazed. MONDAY: We stayed in Maryland on Monday night so we wouldn't be so tired when we got there. There was not much to do other than go bowling and go to the pool. But the best thing was when I got to scream "Go Indiana" at the alley while they were playing Maryland. TUESDAY: We finally got to New York and were going to got on a New York Harbor cruise but we missed it. Then after missing the cruise we split up into groups and got to do what ever we wanted to dountil dinner. We went into Virgin Records and some little shops and I bought some ties for Mr. Martin and myself. For dinner we got to eat at Ellen's Stardust Diner :-(. The food was very not good and the people were mean and made me cry. Our dinner was paid for so thats okay then since I didn't have to waste my money. We then went back to our hotel in Jersey. WEDNESDAY: We got up at the crack of dawn and then got on our buses and went to the city. When we got there we got on tour buses and took a tour of New York. We saw Central Park (worth it), Ground Zero (not worth it), Little Italy (worth it), China Town (not worth it),SoHo(not worth it),the rich people part(worth it), and Carnagie Hall(worth it). The best part was the tour of Radio City Music Hall.I got to stand on the same stage as Nirvana, Oasis, Weezer, Metallica, and other very sweet bands which played there. It would have been better had we not had Mr. Clavi Canada Man in our group (only people who were there understand it). We then got to go to the south side sea port and to a mall. When we got off the buses we were mauled by watch people, crappy video people and sun glasses people. I finally gave in to a nice Jamacian man and bought a rather nice Rolex from him for 15 dollars. It was a rather nice buy because people seem to think its real. When we got into the mall there were many useless shops which no one went into, like the all purple store. I did, however, go into a flag store. I bought some flags of countrys that Americans hate and an Armenia sticker for Keltner. We then we back to our hotel. THURSDAY: We were set free to do whatever we wanted to do in our groups for the day and we just walked around and got lunch and walked around and then went back to the hotel to change. We were going to see Phantom of the Opera. I paid a kid to iron my stuff for me and then we got dressed and left. I bought a c.d. player and got yelled at for it. Then we went to eat at AppleBee's and I had a really great steak and frys. I was rather full when we got to the theatre (not Broadway). We sat down and watched the two and a half hour long play. It was really good and I enjoyed the entire thing. The biggewst downfall was when it would be really dark and then they would use flame things from below and you would suddenly be blinded and the sudden useless noises. We left the theatre and went to the Empire State building at went on the look out tower. It was freezing cold and way to dark for a photo op. I would bring pictures if I had any of this. Then we went back to the hotel. FRIDAY: We got up and went on the cruise that I spoke of earlier. We saw the statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We also saw some other useless things to see. This was by far the worst part of the trip. We stayed on the boat for 90 minutes and then we got into our groups and went shoping. We went to FAO Schwartz and I bought some little toppy game that will make you smarter and the guy who invented it signed it. Then we got on the bus and left for home. We watched some great movies like Tommy Boy, Superstar, and Son in Law. I fell asleep during Son in Law. SATURDAY: I woke up about 5 miles from home and proceeded to gather my stuff up. We got ther and I got some breakfast and then went to sleep and had dreams about being in New York. I would say that everyone should go to New York once in their life time just to see Americas most diverse city and all of the great sites that it has to offer. This was truly a week I will never forget as long as I am sane or not a senile old person. It was the greatest thing I have ever seen.

My views on things since 9-11

           When the WTC attacks happened, I was saddened that someone 
would want to do that. The very next day I was awe struck by the amount of crap I was told about all of these nice middle eastern people and how they were the "dumbest people for takkin us when were in football season and how they so dumb and they can't fly planes right" what's up with this stereotyping of anyone who has a natural tan.
       
          As most people don't know, many things in the Bible are the same as in the Koran. If you translate many biblical names into arabic they would come out to have a meaning of, Allah is mighty, Muhammed, Allah is great, and other things like that. Was the bible created by Al Queda in an attempt to foil our American plans, of course not you idiot.
      
          Many Americans now hate every muslim that they see and talk about how they want to shoot them in the head. These people aren't morons, some are doctors and lawyers and other jobs of high payroll and stature. I had an accident during band one night and had to go to the hospital and to the E.R. Guess what ethnicity my doctor was, thats right he was muslim and from Afghanistan and his son is now attending an Ivy League college and will be a lawyer after he goes to law school.
      
          When the planes flew into the WTC and Pentagon and killed thousands of innocent people I was told that it was not right because we never go in and kill people who are innocent. A month later America was on bombing runs through city after city in hope of killing terriost, I wonder how many innocent people were killed in all after that? You may say that its their falt for living in such a bad country, and well, I would respond be giving you a nice punch in the face and tell you to pull your head out of your hind parts and stop being such a narrow minded yokel. When the terriosts went on their mission they hoped to go to a place greater than heaven and that they would get everything that they would want. I'm not saying that this is completely false but I feel that might be at a lesses degree. Why did they do it, because their god told them to, why are we doing this, because our presicent ordered us to. Would you rather have a choice or be told to kill, you make the decision.

From Quandary to Militia

Until the 9/11 tragedy, it was only logical that the military would seek out new troops in any way they could. Business wasn't exactly booming.

Every once in a while we would see the Marines, or something else to that degree stationed in our High School lobby, attempting to recruit whoever might pass by, but since the attacks, the different branches rotate daily. Their presence is extremely notable.

I'm not sure what to think of this, really. I appreciate that the military cares about the war, but I don't like the intrusion into our schools. I don't like the fact that they're using the public's reaction to the terrorists as a means to get several young troops into their clutches.

These kids, not even out of their teens are quite possibly signing their life away, just because of their current ideals. That's like buying a shiny new car, just because it looks cool.

In other words, opinions change. But whereas a new car will only set you back a few thousand dollars, a military contract can last as long as they want you.

Yes, terrorism is bad, and I'm pleased with most of what has taken place to correct this problem since September, but taking advantage of angry high schoolers with promises of scholarships and benefits isn't necessarily the best way to go about it.
