Warm Up R

Recall something you thrown away that you wish you hadn't.

I once threw away my swag, I wish I still had that. Kidding.
But in all seriousness I threw away my PSP because it "broke".... The sound was broken, that was a stupid mistake. 

Warm Up Column M

A machine that closes my door remotely. I hate it when im sleeping and my dog opens my door and I have to get up and close it, and there should be a remote light too. And I want cup holders on my bed heck yes that is a great idea and you load it up and it senses when you have finished your water and it will trash the empty one and replace it with a full bottle, and the holder is always cooled so you always have cold water. and it is illuminated different colors. and it plays music when you drink. and cleans up your spilled water when you fail when you are half asleep and spill on your shirt. and if the music is dubstep then it has bass that shakes the water when its being held. I would buy that.

Let it go

stop complaining about relationships, its ridiculous and nobody cares.

Your significant other left you? Go eat ice cream and get over it, and dont bring your feelings to school because I for one dont care, its high school... We are only freshman so it is just embarrassing when you cry over a person that left.... Just shrug it off and let it go. Sometimes it is so ridiculous that I find humor in it. I dont know if that's just me but I think its pretty funny.

Warm up columns E

Evaluation
I was evaluated as a cadet in NJROTC, I think they are testing to see who is good for a platoon commander next year.
I did well!
Well at least I think I did, I was put in charge today for a short while while doing PT.
There has been rumor that the new lists of PCs and other positions have come out and I am trying really hard to prove that I can take charge and command a platoon. Hell, maybe even a company (150 people)
Captain was looking at the way I took charge at first, getting everybody's attention and telling therm in a strong commanding voice what we are going to do. He then looked at how well I executed the drill, am I doing the exercise right/setting an example, am I staying in my place. All this stuff I am graded on.
When we were done I put them at ease and then he just moved on to the next, out of everybody that got a chance I did the best. Hopefully that takes me somewhere. 

Learning a Lesson

I chose option "D"

I was 8 or 9 years old and I was with my dad, my dad was a professional bike racer at the Velodrome in san diego. He is into bikes and wanted to take me to an event that they were having there, it was almost like a swap meat event.
He was busy looking and buying and selling things and me being 8 years old got bored really fast, I wandered off not telling my father where I was headed.
I soon realized that I was lost in the crowd of people. People where moving fast and I had no idea where anything was. I learned that father should always be informed of my whereabouts and where I am going. 

Gun Control

Ok. I only have 8 min. to write this so it is going to be quick and honest. The shooting was a tragic event, but we do have a right to bare arms. So this shooting is only a side affect of our right toi protect ourselves. On the topic of protecting, school should have security guys and they should carry guns. Immediate responders for these kind of things.  

Whats Important

1. My physical fitness and my preparation for my future. Basically its important to me that I don't end up poor in the gutter. I think that's reasonably important!

2. My high school  JNROTC future. According to SCPO I will be SCPO once he is MCPO! That's a big position! Top of the Top. Not quite sure how to do its job but ill figure it out!

3. Dedicate 20+ years to the United States Marine Corps and retire and not do anything more. Ill be that 4 star General and rolling in dough. Very hard earned dough. I will be that guy that is just a bad ass old guy, live out in the country, hunt my own food, drive the biggest truck I can find. Sit on my porch for most of the day with a double barrel shotgun in my lap. You know, the one that can play the blues like a pro too with a dog next to his chair. Any visitors are scared to come up, I can tell a car is coming 5 min before it can even see me. God, what a way to live, total silence out in the country. Id love that. But first I have to get past 20 years of being shot at to get there, nothing to bad.

4. What motivates me? Well, just about every second of the day im thinking about being a Marine. I couldn't want anything other than that. All physical activities im thinking of it, even sitting on the couch at home im thinking of coming home 10 years later to my family dressed in dress blues and just standing tall and proud. Serving the country, knowing that me and people like me are the reason my family can sleep safe at night. So I don't know what exactly is motivating me, maybe its all the pride, maybe the thought of being a hometown hero, maybe its just the type of music I listen to but whatever it is, I hope it never leaves!
