Just for the Readers

Now I am not to experienced with this whole blogging thing but if its like any other type of publishing format such as a weekly paper, magazine or new show then I will surmise that one of the most important things is to keep the audience interested so my followers being 2
* WaBaMmmm! Throwing up the peace sign as if empowered by Chuck Norris himself*
I will write something in an attempted to wonder and excite both my readers.

Lets see.... wonder and excite... wonder and excite.....
*scratches head in manner to stimulate brain function, all the while not know he burned out those brain cells long ago*
Well lets ascertain the make up of our audience...

-We have 2 females aprox. 5'4" to 5' 8" ( don't try to lie you 2 are short as hell and everyone knows it lol)

- Ages of the readers are about mid-twenties ( but nether of you look a day over 14 :D )

- between the both of them they each have, on average, 1 child ( so Rachel... hunny and you thought the bird was bad.. now that you have your own Abair kid .. welcome to the OCTAGON!

- between the both of them, on average ( again because that's what you do when you are "ascertaining" you audience ) they each want 4 and 1/2 children.. now I have now idea how you have half a child I guess its a midget....yes that's it.. a midget..... miraculously you both will give birth to a midget even though nether of you have a history of midgets, other then yourselves ( that was a short joke... oh me! ), in you family.

So now that we know a little about our readers lets see what we need to have for them to be interested......

- Its got to have a very defining climax so that the plot of the article is very easily understandable. ( I am implying NOTHING there ... scouts honor! )

- I know I have seen my wife Rach cry more when she watches Extreme Makeover : Home Edition show then she probably will at my own funeral.�I mean I have see chouches full of women.. 3 or 4 at a time cry like babies the ENTIRE TIME... its like a cult but with out Nike's and purple sheets... ( what a lame color purple at that )

- Have you ever been anywhere and seen a man reading a traditional mystery novel? I don't mean like governmet spy kind of thing I mean like Clue kind of stuff.�There has�got to be a complete mystery to everyone in the�article.

- Of course we must put a "love" story in there too. Chicks dig love stories. Now look guys ( not that any guys are reading this�because�they are�probably�doing manly stuff like going to the gym and eat read meat and all that stuff.... I guess... I�married�I don't know what real men do ) � �:) �

don't be�intimidated�by�women�reading love stories. Are they imagining that they are the�beautiful�damsel�in distress that is�wooed�by the very�attractive�and�muscular�hero with a real job? I say no! It's chick porn thats all � �:D

So lets recap!

* the class wakes�startled�to gather notes so they can party all night and still pass the random pop quiz that happens EVERY friday morning.*

Our�article�has to have love,�mystery, has to be easy to understand and have something that makes them cry. Simple enough!�

Look at all that... this is hard work.. i am sweeting... no rely its hot as hell here...

So now I would like to present my�article�designed�specifically�for my readers....

* drum rolls ( no like down the street or anything.. that would be crazy.... drums don't just roll by them selves and if they did wouldn't they have a�specific�place to go... like a... drum hang out club house or�something?)*

.................... THE END

Kind of like sex isn't it? � � quick and�disappointing.

That old feelin'

I was in the chow hall about an hour ago and they have TVs there so you can watch AFN. Their was this commercial that was using a song by U2 called Beautiful Day in the background. I am a U2 fan anyway but it brought up a that old feelin' you get.

My brother Tyler is about 15 months younger then me so growing up we didn't get along very well but as we got older we became best friends and we still have a wonderful relationship to this day. The first birthday present I ever got from him that he bought with his own money was the U2 album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. That was the only CD in my car for almost a year. I had to listen to it tell it just wouldn't play anymore lol. The best part was that it came form him and no matter if it was an album or brand new car it would of had the same effect that it did and that was that joy that permeates your entire body and everyone that brushes shoulders with you gets a little of that feeling. Thinking about it now, it feels it like a cool blanket that keeps your ship steady in the storm.

The funny thing is that my birthday is the 23rd of this month and my platoon leader's parents sent me a birthday card wishing me a happy birthday, stay safe and all that. Well even though they have never met me and probably never will the card had penguins on it which just happen to be my favorite animal. Its nice to get anything in the mail out here in Iraq just to remind you that their is a place other then here. That's the hardest part about being here out on the moon ; not being able to participate in the outside world or even really seeing it other then the news. You tend to let time grapple with you and lose touch with everyone and everything that's out there. So feelings like the one that song gave me are as if an epiphany.

I immediately came to my room and pulled the song up on the computer and learned the chords and started playing it with glee. It just let me know, even if for a second, that I am not alone out here that their are people out there that know my name and at the word of it miss me as much as I miss them. So here's a little about me that a lot of people never get the chance to know ; that , in my option, wealth is a very important and must have thing in everyone's life.

STOP! Don't start criticizing me yet let me finish...

Its something that helps define a person as in their status and the happiness of their lives.
But the wealth is not what you think. Its not money or property or a collection of 200 year old stamps ( if you do that then.. well... its just not for me that's all ..lol. Its the many different types of love they have in their life. See their are many different types and levels of love. You know what makes me a very wealth man? Its that I have more love then most people around me all the time. I surround myself with the people that I care about and that return that energy. It just took me coming out to this God forsaken place for me to really understand it fully. Once a person realizes what they really have their is nothing that could stop them in the ever pursuit of happiness that is our lives.

So next time you get that old feelin' don't just brush it off. Really think about it and cherish that brief moment in time because when it comes down to it.. all we really have are brief moments in time...so i say spend them with the ones you love because that's where the money's at.

I leave you with a quote taken out of a movie i liked. ( thank you oh wise Kung Fu turtle )

“Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery,
but today is a gift.
That is why it is called the present.”

First off

Well as you may have seen this before, I have acquired this idea form someone else who did a lot better job then I.
