Beneath, Between, Behind


Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes, but never seeing

Beneath the noble birth
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once, with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?

Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth’s melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing...

The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams’s gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History’s debt won’t be repaid

Durango SLT

Hey there. It has been a week or so since I have updated my blog. I had another seizure but luckily I stayed on the bed and did not hurt myself besides one hell of a chewed up tongue...and feeling like I went a few rounds with Muhammed Ali. : (

In other news...I celebrated my new CWA contract at work by going up to Coulter Cadillac and buying the family a 2001 Dodge Durango. It has been taken great care of and is in awesome condition. Here are some shots of the truck once I got home. This is going to be the mode of transportation down to Rocky Point here in a couple of weeks. I needed to be sure what I drove my family down there in would be safe and sound. This rig is awesome! Solid as a rock and tough as nails... Oh well, enough yapping - here are some shots!

Boy, You are tripping!





My brother just left today in a roundabout way back to the east coast. I was a good experience~! Here are a couple of the trippy websites that he showed my whilst he was here...

http://www.complexification.net/ Complexification is a little like tripping but without the LySergic acid Diethylamide. (where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies) (Molecular Model of LSD)

This one is not so trippy but thought I'd add it here due to lack of recent blog posts due to being busy with the family and shit like that!

http://www.neave.com/ Just a well made site with some cool classic games on one of its links...



Allright, I am outta here. I hear a Heineken calling my name!!!


I also need a cooler like this...

My sister Lisa



It is 3 o'clock in the morning and my sister Lisa and her husband John just left. It is family reunion in full swing and tonight brought everything together! My sister and I are so much alike. We see the world through the same clear lenses, we laugh about the same things, we have the same wonderful loving father who loves us and still takes great care of us from beyond... I am excited to get to do things with their family! We just share something indescribable.

I gotta go to bed but just had to write a quick blip about what a great time I had with the family tonight and especially my big sister, Lisa!

The big bang...


At approximately 2:00 on the morning of August 6th, the Enola Gay, which was carrying an atomic bomb (Little Boy), started on the long flight from Tinian. Two observation planes carrying cameras and scientific instruments followed behind her.

After 6:00, the bomb was fully armed on board the Enola Gay. Tibbets (the Pilot) announced to the crew that the the plane was carrying the world's first atomic bomb.

The trip to Japan was smooth. At about 7:00 o'clock, the Japanese radar net detected aircraft heading toward Japan, and they broadcast the alert throughout the Hiroshima area. Soon afterward an American weather plane circled over the city, but there was no sign of bombers. The people began their daily work and thought that the danger had passed.

At 7:25, the Enola Gay, at 26,000 feet, was cruising over Hiroshima. At 8:00 the Japanese detected again two B-29's heading toward Hiroshima. The radio stations quickly broadcast a warning for the people to take shelter, but many did not follow the advice. They thought that it was the same as first time.

At 8:09, the crew of the Enola Gay could see the city appear below; it was time to drop the bomb. Just then, they received a message indicating that the weather was good over Hiroshima. The bomb was released at 8:16 a.m.
A terrible, strong and unimaginable explosion occurred near the central section of the city. The crew of the Enola Gay saw a column of smoke rising fast and intense fires springing up.


What was to follow was the worst devastation that the world had yet to see. Unfortuantely the Japanese Military refused to concede so 'Fat Man' was dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later.

Thankfully the day before my mother was born, Japan surrendered and this ended the 2nd world war but regrettably left Japan with wounds, that on a personal level to millions, will never heal. I pray that a bomb like this will never be used on anyone ever again.

Let them eat war...


I know my views are not shared by everyone but I will share them with everyone... click the pic for some cool flash.

Please also watch the Chicken Hawk flash while you are there. And from now on, I will post these more controversial posts onto another blog to be named later...

Word of the Day - "callipygous"


I just went in to go to bed and the sight of my beautiful, sleeping wife prompted me to come back here and add one last tidbit. The word of the day is "callipygous".

Thank you very kindly, Good Night!

Whew!




Whew! I am off for the next 9 days...I have the whole family in town this week. My mom from Oregon, my brother and his wife and 4 kids from Longneck, New York, my sister and her 3 kids, (who live over in Goodyear, AZ) and my older half-sister and her husband from Rio Rancho, New Mexico. That is a houseful but I am glad to be able to host the get-together.



In other news, my vacation comes on the last week of our current contract at work. I do not know until Sunday of next week if we are going on strike or not. I hope we do not as you don't get paid as you strike. I have signed up for strike duty though as we need to stand together to retain the wages we earn and our benefits.



Lastly...well nevermind, it's late and I am gonna go crash so that I will not be a grumpy boy tomorrow with the entire crew on hand!


Be Friendly!
