Air Force...Departing Corry Station

While today is not their day to fly away , it was their last day as color guard for Corry Station. The presence of the Air Force at Corry Station will no longer be as prominent as it currently is because they are packing up and moving away. Perhaps it’s because they created new schools, they’ve filled up with intelligence personnel for the time being and then some, or that they’re the Air Force and all other branches are not as sophisticated and must move to better facilities. Trust me, if you saw us here you may be inclined to believe as much and since it is no secret they earn *insert special pay here.* Yes Corry is that bad.

Despite all this, they are looked upon as being precise, trained, and dedicated to their presentation of what it is they do. They take the time to train and learn their routines, their responsibilities which we can see here in the raising of our country’s flag. Since this base is shared amongst the 5 branches of the United States Armed Forces, they perform the duties of color guard every Tuesday both morning and evening. The Air Force has held their own barracks with a clean and maintained courtyard, a lounge that makes us all jealous, and kinship amongst Airmen that shows that while we are all apart of the United States Military that each branch still looks out for each other and that Shipmates, Marines, Soldiers, and Airmen represent a certain bond formed from just a signature on a piece of paper.

In the end, which it is for the Air Force on Corry Station, everything that happens is because of us and what we do. In this case, it’s because someone let the contracts run dry so now they have to find a new place to live and train...and sit.

The Powers That Be

They say knowledge is power but like any power there is always limits. There is so much too look and see. A fun game, for anyone, is to people watch. Sit there, judge others with no care or discretion simply because we can. Unfortunate for me I am generally right, having my own ways of finding out. This knowledge though can be a tool as much as it can be a weapon and a self destructive force. For people like me, Readers, we already know the outcome before anything happens. We can see the future flash before our eyes by simple studying a person and while people.can.change...there is no such guarantee. There is always the fun of seeing the change before it happens because even the changes can be predictable. Everyone wants to act like they are so unique but in reality we all follow a very simple pattern linked to many, even I.

Did not expect that? Well, it is true. This pattern though, is everything. It is our personality DNA, our way of life, and what makes us the boring mundane people I see everyday. That was a joke. For me and others like me and generally everyone, the goal is to find a pattern we like. Of course this does require some skill and while many can have the abridged version, it will not work for long. The idea is to solve the following equation: 1,2,3...(...)(...). Fun right? The abridged version solves the first set, I can solve the second, the third...psychics are truly what the say they are and can see clearer than a retired sniper back in his prime. We are not suppose to know our end, but we generally can see everything up to it and it is in this time that we must see if the risk is worth it. As mentioned, anything can happen and change is possible. The truth is, change come in many forms and it can sometimes have nothing to do with the person you are with but more than likely has to do with you. It is in this revelation that we must learn to dig deep and find ourselves in order to avoid publicity of the change so it does not affect the streamline of our lives or anyone else.

I will now stray from the general and continue with me. I had lost my way a long time ago and was over involved with a charge. While there are many Readers, whether they achieve it or are naturals, Guardians are naturals given this to do more than use it for themselves. As human as we are though we can be blinded and forget our objectives and try only for the goal. The idea is to not get attached unless need be, but even then a distance that allows for anything. This pass charge, I lost that distance. I was so determined and so lost in what lied before me after a family scare, that I thought it was the right thing to do...it wasn't. Now I have more damage than I could ever believe or want to do to someone. This was not suppose to happen...

Other's Love

Well I went out and did my first proposal shoot. It was fun and long. There is no negative connotation here or regret. I recall when I proposed and how long it took me to find the right time. It is just a totally different perspective when you are on the outside looking in watching someone else do it. I managed to stall a bit but it was hard blending in. I just kept showing my love for the birds.

As the day went on I saw that he was ready to pop the question and there it was. It was just one of those moments where you feel the need to clap and everyone else joyously joins in as the couple express feelings of happiness like no other. It is that once in a life moment.

Christmas Time Is Here

It's the time of the year again when you cannot help but reflect upon your past and wonder where the heck did the year go? This never means that everything was ever so peachy keen but it does reveal something about yourself in how you perceived the year.

So much has happened for me it's hard to imagine and even more is to come next year. I look forward to the year as much as I question the upcoming events. I worry sometimes about my life and the issues coming at hand. I cannot help but wonder about my future with everything that has occurred but it could just be the first year. Life is rough, nothing is easy, but a bit more would not be a bad thing. I need to find that calm, that center that I used to have. I have not truly been myself in so long I believe I forgot who I was. In the midst of all that I met someone and married them. Regret ensued...

Being on hiatus is such a personal and particular thing to describe I will leave it to my mind alone, but it does have me wondering much on the subject. I do not dread the future, but wonder the outcome with such interesting potential. I wonder about the differences we have and how others manage. Perhaps it is just the time that we are in with everything being so busy and life just more than what I want it to be right now. I said I would wait but I did not and this is where the multiple personality problem comes in. I am a student, I'm still in school, and frankly not ready for responsibility of this magnitude but I'm dealing. *sigh*

There has been a saving grace with a recent appearance of an old essence that I had believed had gone on hiatus as well but it is alive and well. Time and patience is the making of a great man and I have neither but I am developing. TO possible die tomorrow eliminates the time and patience but to know that all is still well in His hands helps. It is the winter, dolphinus is high in the sky, allowing anything to be possible.

"And so this is Christmas" and we should only be talking about the good things in life. I look forward to this time and the end of year, to start a new. It is almost as I wait for it because there is not other time to begin. A new beginning, a life on my own although still a student. Adaptation is almost complete, just a bit longer. It is what it is and we must accept that.

Still, what is to come? I eagerly await the summer to see which side reveals itself in the end and what outcomes may occur. Nothing is certain and my history shows that anything is possible, but there is a timing that sometimes must be waited for.

Truth and Faith

Truth and faith. There is a unique connection in that they have no actual relation yet technically it is what everyone believes. Faith is alone while truth is never certain. The fact is truth is obvious and faith is only what we make it. Nothing more nor less unless we so choose. We are human but as such we need to accept the fact. not everything is so clearly defined. Free will was created for a reason, so that we can understand. We can learn and know beyond the obvious, where faith lies being an underlying of truth. God is in everything. That is truth. Faith is that we can see Him.

We're adults.

When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?

Circle of Trust

Trust is an interesting thing. How can you ever know it's there and how can you know that it will ever exist? In world of secrets what really is truth? We grow up being raised following a belief that may never actually be or that may not be soon. My personal favorite example is Pluto. For twelve years I was taught that Pluto was a planet...well, more so actually, but never the less. Out of no where a few people wearing their newly acquired pocket protectors with their transition glasses atop their heads or being fidgeted with in their as they debate that such a truth may actually have been a mistake all along. This also bring us to the atom of which was the smallest physical entity until they split it and oops, our mistake again.

It's in this simplicity of lies and false information that how can anyone believe what is said and what is put out there with the controls that exists and the sad simplicity o most people's minds there is no way they can comprehend the massive amounts of knowledge that actually exists.

I bring these thought forward because of the upcoming election. What information do we truly have of what it is these gentlemen intentions are? We have their word and that alone. The idea of the media is a joke as there have been many times stories and information take awhile to hit the news or somewhere one’s country’s news is another’s false information. Press TV, an Iraqi news source, has stated that 16 US soldiers have committed suicide. American soldiers. I sit here, after feeding the information to numerous democratic friends, knowing that such information will used to fuel their fire of the war in Iraq. No worries, they belonged to an airborne division that has not existed since the Second World War. Only problems arising from this news is the fact it’s an Iraqi news source posted in English, and quite bad English at that. Of course my latter reasoning may not be enough to implicate the fact this news is false and completely absurd but the now deleted information of the airborne division number, that only Middle Eastern countries’ news agencies have the story, and that there is no 57^th division over there should be enough proof this is false.

So what is truth? From this we can deduct that that 16 soldiers committed suicide. While that information has some possible standing, 16 at once? Technically the article says 21 but 5 were saved. Interesting how they get the word committed and attempted so confused. Truth is that this is enemy propaganda. How can we know this? Do we expect our news to truly be allowed to report anything? Considering this has hit the internet they have the ability to find and research it. The fact that there is still no news means this is not news. Do I need to make it clearer or are we still going to believe that this is more reason to pull out?

Do not mistake this as an ad for McCain, that simply to form an argument one must have facts; facts that do not solely pertain to information read in a newspaper or seen on TV. Then of course how can one form an argument when the only way to gain information is via the media? Simple, you obtain it through non media specialists. One way is first hand and if you cannot go there, try second hand if you happen to know someone. This is how knowledge is truly gained and it does not come from just reading books. The idea is to not believe everything fed to one simple by words but form an opinion about the information given then use said information along with more and combine a defined argument. Want to know what someone said; research for the full text and not just a snip it. Stop with the quotes and finish the sentence. The fact is that people do not take the time to care and learn and rather elaborate on the information that has no idea about. They go off repeating what may or may not be true but simply stating it as is and bringing nothing to the table with it.

I honestly could not care less who you vote for. That’s a lie but I’m sure you believed it for a second thinking that I just cared you vote. Honestly I rather you not if you could not sit down and type a page or even half a page as to why the person you voted for should be president with information not sited from CNN or TIME but rather a conclusive idea from that and other information that cannot easily be countered without another that did their homework.

Here’s a truth though to take through life. It’s a truth in any situation that can be used, as I did many a time to get ahead, is that in an argument the winner is not the last one talking but rather the one that knows the issue cannot develop any worth with whom they are speaking to. The problem maybe they do not know enough information or rather too much but none of is their own so the probability of getting any information out is already a null and void situation.

Yes, I took advantage of situations in which I knowingly convinced people that their thoughts and ideas are crap simply because they have no proof. While of course I have no proof either what-so-ever in my statements as mentioned before, the only way to gain an ounce of information is through deductive reasoning. Thank you Sherlock Holmes. It is this reasoning that I do not argue whether or not Iraq had WMDs but rather how the heck do you know? You have no idea as to what the government has and will be allowed to release. Has Watergate taught you nothing? Have the hundreds of other unknown conspiracies that existed and now proven true, since time has passed and it no longer matters, mean absolutely nothing. That perhaps there aren’t more? The shear fact that the Iraqi news released such information and if true has not any other main stream media, means the government truly can hold a gun to someone’s head and say, “Shut the f&%$ up about this or the trigger will be pulled.” Yes, I provided false information to tear apart anyone's information. That a simple story true or false still plays for me and against anyone else as I choose. I hate to say it but you’re wrong and I’m no more right than the direction…to your right. It is just I view the world for what it is and nothing more. I know. Other people believe. It is in this belief people will fail and in faith belief is not enough. Don’t let your life be based on the spoon fed media intel that continuously proves to be as correct as the atom being the smallest physical entity…until something else comes along.
