Since I was a kid, I was obsessed with action movies. Everything was great about them. There was a hero, a villain, drama, and of course, fighting. I suppose its led me down the path im on right now. Im definitely no hero, and im not a villain, but ive heard stories of REAL heros. I would do anything to be like them. If my life were a movie, Id sure hope there would be a lot of good to be said. Right now, its not much of a story. One day, I want to protect the world like my heroes did. From Spider Man, to Adam brown, it made no difference. They live uncomfortably so others dont have to. Theres a world of hurt out there and I want to be right along side the men who put themselves in harms way so our sons and daughters dont have to. So if i were to have a story, I would hope its one people would like. It certainly would be a nice change of pace. My heroes were never put on pedestals for the world to see and thats exactly what I would want

And he did exactly that. And he died... doing exactly that."-Buddy of Michael P. Murphy, Murph The Protector "Im not sure where my nuts are sir, but wherever they are, they sure are warm!"- Freezing Soldier, i forgot the movie, but it was another war one

Albert Einstein is one of my favorite physicists. When he was young, he was said to be able to grasp any concept in minuets, despite how complex and obscure the idea was. He could run experiments in his head, without having to set them up to physically see it. He was so creative, yet, so strict with his work, that he earned his title as one of the greatest minds of all time. When he finally died, they looked at his brain and found that the creative side was abnormally large in comparison to his logical side. Amazing to think that someone so straight forward and mathematical was mostly just a thoughtful and creative man. Its not easy to marry creativity and mathematics, so i hold him in the highest regards

This is as simple as it gets the sky and the water. This is a book waiting to be written Are you stranded? or just swimming? This is illusion the sea is not barren the sky is not empty This is swimming after walking after crawling Oceans are what we make them Live are what we make them The ocean is like living

1. Theres not any writing piece in particular that stand out to me. I mostly just like elaborating on proverbs or writing in the style of William H. McRaven. With that being said, theres a few lessons I talk about in my writing and posts. How a sword is forged was my first lesson, I think, I wrote about. A sword is not forged without first being dipped into fire and getting beat on. Its a good lesson, because even though we have bad times, it only makes us stronger. At the end of all that torture, youll become a sword, and you will have become better because of it. 2. During the quarter, I finished the best book ive ever read. Fearless: Adam Brown. Adam Brown started off his life in a small town in Arkansas, with a loving family, and two siblings. He never gave anything up and he always put on his best manners when he was in public. Later in life, he meets a girl who is addicted to crack, who ends up getting Adam addicted to it. Adam began stealing to support his drug addic...

Bleecker Street is my favorite song. Simon and Garfunkel wrote it, which are my two favorite writers. Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He became popular for his music when he was 17 and continued to make music throughout his entire life The song means a lot to me, its very pretty and it paints a country side town in vivid detail. The way he cose to play the guitar during this song is also very unique, using travis picking as a way to make basic chords sound complex. He also uses the capo in a very pretty spot on the guitar. When I sing the song, it makes me feel like ive created this beautiful town, and when I play, it feels so natural and the melody is something I could listen to for froever
