The wind and a beat

Breaking the wind.

The air breathed an ocean combed in colors of azure and teal.

And on land a cliff nestled just over the sea — standing alone.

I was etched to it for a moment, I was connected.

I swayed to the sunglow that casted its silhouette.

I touched its heartbeat, a soft spoken moment stood.

I felt empty in essence thinking I’d found peace.

Air breathed and rushed my face, my heart trickled its beat

The wind screamed unable to keep pace and I felt it then,

That my heart was telling me it was not ready to end its roar.

I woke along the shore, hands gripped to sand washing through them.

Breaking sunset.

The air breathed an ocean combed in colors of azure and teal.

I enlisted and recently swore-in. My classifier before anything asked why I wanted to join the service. With that question I responded with a rather long explanation. It detailed the economy: structure, comfort level and instability, along with structure, guidance, retirement and stability that the navy can and will help provide that encourages my decision. The benefits of continuing my education while within the service and further advancing toward the goals I want to set for myself as the motivating factor. He said that it was the best answer I could have given. it doesn't happen often and I took the other questions he had for me. He asked about the field I wanted and I said that what i wanted wasn't necessarily what was important whenn it came down to the bottom line. I would like to ship out as soon as possible and even with that in mind, placing me in the category rate I don't want, wouldn't stop me from doing first what the navy needed.. I then explained that if it shipped out quick that I would like something to do with co-gen power plants, fire fighting, and a few other things.

The choice was quickly brought down to one rate, core-man when looking for a quick ship out date. He started to explain it and stopped, leaned over and asked the chief if he was still holding on to the MMS or (MM)(SS) and asked if he could take it. He gave it to me and said I think you should do this. I spoke to a guy that was on submarines and essentially interviewed him like he was applying for a job and I asked about 20 questions and it threw him off with what I was asking. He was use to people asking either simple or dumb questions and later asked what made me ask the questions and if I had them memorized, I said that I didn't memorize them and they were from the top of my head, but that this is my future and it was important to me that I know how you felt with those questions because i needed to know what to expect.

I took a bit of time., more than what others did, but I really needed the time to subtract the dislike of not being above sea and really focus with the pros vs the cons and what really benefited me in the long run. My classifier was a little upset, he thought I was going to say no, taking all that time and wasted it. I told him I was sorry, but I needed the time because I was planning my future from it. He then said that it was fine because I was asking real questions and not stupid ones and that he was glad I took the rate. So it's not guaranteed,but it's a hell of a chance for me to shine and but for those in the field or who didn't make it, what do you think and if the worst happens and I fail, well then where do I go? I can't wait to learn and show them who I am, I only hope that who I am is good enough to be what they need.

Also what books or things can i focus on to help further my chances. Anything everything. I like being prepared ahead of time.

I've heard people say eat smart.I understand that there are different types of food in boot-camp. So i was wondering what types of food I should stick to. I'm getting ready to enter the Navy.

In the mornings should I be hitting up the bacon and sausage, or just sticking to the eggs and something else, or what ever they offer? does it matter?

What about lunch and dinner? what can you suggest ?

So yesterday I did push-ups to exhaustion and i was pretty wore out. Well I wake up today and my arms feel great. They feel a little tense and tight but not sore. I ended up doing three sets in the morning and one diamond in the afternoon and two sets at night. Should I just rest or since i feel good just go for it?

This is the sets

Morning

Diamonds (Set one-17 ) (Set two-8) (Set three-5) 30 sec rest

Regular (Set one-7) (Set two-6) (Set three-5) 30 sec rest

Wide (Set one-11) (Set two-11) (Set three-11)

Diamond (Set one-17) afternoon

At night

Diamond (Set one-13) (Set two-5)

Regular (Set one-20) (Set two-15)

Wide (Set one-20) (Set two-20)

also 15 curls per arm, two sets

I'm told to loss weight i started a healthier diet eating around 1800 calories and working out from running push up and sit up, i burn around 1000 if not a little more.

Now my brother is telling me what to eat and it comes out to around 760 calories a day. plus my running 300 push ups and 100 sit-up and elliptical twice a day for two hours for the days i'm not running

How long can I last?

SO i'm looking at buying a truck and the seller says he doesn't have the pink slip. that's not a deal breaker for me because i'll just go down and register it and transfer ownership... that is of course if that's even possible, I'm in Sparks.NV

I bought this bike a bit ago, It's had no problems starting, though I let it sit with out starting it for about three months maybe 4. The tank was empty. I put new fuel in to the tank and tried to start it, it cranked started and then stopped. It only cranks and begins to started or rather putter while holding the start down. I'm going to take the fairing off . are there questions I need to answer for you? power works, no problem with lights. Should I get a heater and warm the cold motor up? any ideas suggestions from people who have had this problem? If you check back I will respond to all questions that I'm able to answer and not answer

Truly a challenge when faced by someone who has a complete grasp of this intellectual language.

Not thinking it's good, just a quick write to share

What do you think?

You’re not a honey bee for perfect days.

My mind is racing like a bumble bee

Jumping from one petal to the next in thoughts

Collecting the pollen of a day’s work, then reminisce

What the flower bugs would say on other flowers

As though maybe the distance was far enough

The Intrepid little flowers carry musk, only mutters

Shivers while trying to sleep alone

Sticking to condensed emotions of a busy day

While things are still not sweet enough to sleep well.

If someone has a trademark for something like "Help Wanted" and you wanted to start a company called, "Help Wanted across America" or "Help Wanted Mini-Mart" are you infringing upon the TradeMark?

Thanks for the help!

I wrote this awhile two years ago and retouched it a bit. What do you think?

"Photographs from time"

There are pictures on the walls,

Some dusty others dirty

And some simply forgotten

They hide in places of sorts

Like boxes, chests and old junk drawers

Yet none the less they can be lost,

Sometimes stuck together, taped

Maybe torn, glued or with fade

And water marks from stain

Though they are imprints well defined

Our only lasting grace past verse

They are sometimes simply disremembered

Covered up by bills, loose paper and time

Joined like countless yesterdays

They still remain just pictures,

Some in living color-- black and white

from the moments that inspired

I got one from my mother and she said they knocked her out. Myself on the other hand took one and I don't feel a thing. I ate two slices of pizza just a few mins. ago but it's been thirty since i took the pill. I just wanted to see what they did. I drank two and a half beers before that. could they have nullified what Zanex does?

This one goes over my head. Anything with Salvage on the title is supposed to list at 30% of book. So i don't understand why people are trying to sell there cars for way more and then get insulted when you tell them the facts. They get mad and tell me that it doesn't matter because it's been fixed. That shouldn't matter one bit, so why are they trying to get so much? a 10,000 KBB car and they want 9,000. Explain this to me please.

I see bikes on craigslist and people want way more than KBB says they are even worth. Why is this?

Are they worth that much or do all these people just think the bike is worth more?

Some one has a 96 CBR F3 for 3200 and KBB has it listed for 1750 in excellent condt.

What should one follow?

What do you think of this? It's how i think and yes i do believe in god/ higher power

I hear people say god is helping Tebow and I think you are a fool. God has nothing to do with the good, bad, lucky or unlucky. Everything that happens is because of mankind, not god. He simply if anything just watches us and the universe. When i here say oh thank you lord, I understand why they do it. It's for a balance within each person. I notice that I don't see people scold god for doing things that are so destructible. When this happens it becomes the devils work.

The good is god and the bad is the devil. It's an incredibly straight line that doesn't ring true to me. I look at the idea and laugh. I think that if you want to praise god then you need to understand that when you mother is murdered or your pastor is a pedophile or you turn your life around; maybe become a millionaire or save someones life that god had nothing to do with it, It's because of a statistical probability. This is Mankind's will and and god will never be interference.

Needs works, Just wanted to post. Just think it's strange; rather to strange how often this happens.

It surrounds me, déjà vu

The things I feel throughout

In every little moment

My tacks of accordance

The things that destitute

With every push of breath

I carry neither truth

to the final tally to hold

My dream zero,

My reality one.

While the vu carries two

And then with wonder

A standing tally to behold

Do I yield a glimpse to come?

Wait, your name is sue.

I guess I’m good at guessing

I have no clue what to write about, I feel empty in the pits of poetry.

The destitute of lonely words can't even carry a tune for flowing thoughts.

I feel more concerned with words I've written than words to write.

I do not feel the completion of my existence, without the completed work

My thoughts I feel might betray the internal trust of gathered

Could you encourage things to write, or should i just wait for it to come?

Yahoo is asking questions while i'm watching the debate and all they are doing is asking about Romney and Gingrich. Where are the Ron Paul, Jon huntsman and Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry question?

I like a few songs from lifehouse, but my mind is blank for other songs that sound like these that i have posted here. I want soft and quiet songs.. noting loud. Any ideas? not quiet the way he sings but the soft style. and soft instruments nothing fast.
